5. Rep. Michele Bachmann under 24-hour guard after Islamic State threat

WASHINGTON – The danger posed by ISIS to Americans has come to the homeland for Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and a national publication may be making the ominous threat even worse.

Politico has reported federal officials are taking an online threat to the congresswoman so seriously she in now under 24-hour protection by a security detail.

However, Politico may be adding fuel to the fire by incorrectly reporting that the congresswoman had called on President Obama to declare war on Islam.

“Bachmann has been publicly critical of not only ISIL, but also Islam, calling on President Obama to declare war on the religion during a speech at the conservative Value Voters Summit at the end of September,” reported Politico.

    “Canadian warplanes involved in the U.S.-led bombing campaign against militants in Iraq have launched their first airstrikes since deploying to the region.

    A statement from Defense Minister Rob Nicholson’s office on Sunday said two fighter jets attacked targets in the vicinity of Fallujah with laser-guided bombs and safely returned to their base in Kuwait. Few other details were immediately released.

    Canada has deployed six CF-18s along with a C-150 Polaris and two CP-140 Aurora surveillance aircraft as its contribution to the bombing campaign against the Islamic State group, which has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria. About Canadian 600 airmen and airwomen are involved.

    Following a request from the U.S., Canada’s Parliament voted last month to authorize the airstrikes. The motion authorized air strikes in Iraq for up to six months and explicitly stated that no ground troops be used in combat operations.

    Canada is among dozens of countries that have joined the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group.”

    The government said in a news release that the attack occurred Sunday in Almoustrate, near the town of Bourem.

    At least four others were wounded in the attack, which the government said was carried out by unknown elements.

    A French-led force removed an al-Qaida branch and other jihadists from power across northern Mali in 2013, though remnants have staged a growing number of attacks in recent months.

    A recent resurgence of violence has killed 21 U.N. peacekeepers since early September. French forces also are working to stabilize the country’s former colony.”

    “Chancellor Angela Merkel would rather see the UK exit from the European Union than compromise over the principle of free movement of workers, according to the German magazine Der Spiegel.

    Mrs Merkel is alleged to fear that the UK is approaching a “point of no return”.

    Downing Street would not comment on the reports.

    Mr Cameron wants to renegotiate the terms of the UK’s continued membership before holding an in-out referendum….”

    Police cordoned off the area following the attack in the street while investigations continue.

    Gary Law said: “I saw her on the stretcher.

    “The paramedic was saying ‘hold on darling, hold on’ to her.”

    It is the second serious incident in the street in the last month.

    Two weeks ago a 72-year-old was attacked with a sledgehammer after burglars forced their way into his home.

    The cordon blocked off about ten homes, near the junction with Gorse Way.

    Police are appealing for witnesses.
