‘Glad I’m not Working There’: Danish Police Mock Swedish Rape Investigations (sputniknews, Feb 12, 2018)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201802121061569724-sweden-denmark-police-rape/
“According to a former chief homicide investigator in Copenhagen, the main problem of the Swedish police is that they have too many rules and must have virtually every investigative step approved by a lawyer.
The Swedish city of Malmö has seen five reports of group rape in recent months, which is indicative of the situation in Swedish urban areas in general, as the number of reported rapes has risen by 50 percent in the past two years alone. Despite ongoing investigations, no arrests have been made in the city. “We are making progress,” Malmö police press spokesman Nils Norling told the Danish newspaper Extra Bladet, prompting a string of jeers.
Although it’s worldwide practice to come out with a police description in the case of severe crimes, the Danes were surprised to learn that this practice is not the given thing in Sweden.
“If the information comes from a witness who has their knowledge from the media, it can be worthless in a trial. A lawyer can always dismiss them as non-credible,” Nils Norling explained to the Extra Bladet.
In 2016, the Svenska Dagbladet daily revealed that the Stockholm police were officially instructed not to mention the perpetrator’s ethnicity, as it could be perceived as racist. In the fall of 2017, a private report indicated an overwhelming prevalence of immigrants in, among others, gang rapes, with over 90 percent of the cases perpetrated by people of non-Swedish descent, something that the Swedish government has been reluctant to acknowledge.
Norling denied any connection between this and the fact that the Malmö police chose not to come out with police descriptions of the rapists.
“It has nothing to do with it. It is about ensuring that if we find some perpetrators we also have the opportunity to judge them in court,” Norling said, citing the strict judicial rules about what information is admissible in court.
Ove Dahl, former chief of the homicide department in the Copenhagen police, was surprised that the Swedish police do not give the perpetrators’ descriptions out to the public, which was customary when he worked on the force.
“The police do it because they want help from the public. We do it, regardless of whether we are investigating fatalities, rape or other crimes against the person, where the perpetrators may have been seen,” Ove Dahl stressed, citing numerous examples where police descriptions spurred useful tips from the public.
According to Norling, rape investigations can take a particularly long time, compared with other types of crime, due to victims having a hard time remembering the details or longer breaks between hearings.
According to Dahl, though, the Swedish police’s problem is that they have too many rules, as virtually any investigative step must be approved by a lawyer.
“In Sweden, however, things are done in a different way due a lot of rules that make the investigations take time,” Ove Dahl commented, citing generally lower clearing rates in Sweden compared with those in Denmark. “Time and again I have said how damn happy I am over not working in the Swedish police,” Dahl said.
Overall, Sweden saw a record of 7,230 rapes reported in 2017. According to the Expressen newspaper, only 8 percent of reported rapes are solved.”

Soldier killed in attack near paramilitary camp in Kashmir (abcnews, Feb 12, 2018)

“At least one paramilitary soldier was killed when two gunmen opened fire near a camp in the main city in Indian-controlled Kashmir, officials said Monday.
The attack came hours after government troops ended a two-day gunbattle with three gunmen at an army camp in another part of the disputed region. Five soldiers and one civilian were killed in that clash.
Rajesh Yadav, a spokesman for the Central Reserve Police Force, said the building near the camp in Srinagar where Monday’s attack occurred has been cleared of all civilians.
Police chief S.P. Vaid said the area has been cordoned off and troops are exchanging fire with the gunmen.
Late Sunday, government troops ended a gunbattle with militants inside an army camp in the region’s Jammu area.
Three militants were killed by late Sunday night, ending the attack that began at dawn on Saturday when the militants stormed the Sunjuwan army base on the outskirts of the city of Jammu…”

“A Taliban infiltrator killed 16 members of a pro-government militia force in the insurgency ridden southern province of Helmand when he turned his gun on men who he had worked with for months, officials said on Monday.
The Afghan security agency had set up the militia to infiltrate the Taliban, a security official told Reuters, though a spokesman for Helmand’s governor was unable to identify the group.
“We know that a Taliban fighter killed 16 militiamen fighting alongside government forces, but who these forces belong to, we don’t know yet,” said the spokesman, Omar Zwak.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings in the province’s Gereshk district on Saturday, saying two of its fighters were involved.
A security official, who declined to be identified, said the suspected gunman had worked with the militia for months and took arms and ammunition after killing the men…”

Cyprus says Turkish warships continue to block drilling rig (abcnews, Feb 12, 2018)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/cyprus-turkish-warships-continue-block-drilling-rig-53012126
“Cyprus’ government spokesman says Turkish warships continue to impede a rig from reaching a location off the east Mediterranean island where Italian energy company Eni is scheduled to drill for gas.
Nicos Christodoulides told state broadcaster RIK Monday the rig remains stopped some 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the drilling target off the island’s southeastern coast.
Christodoulides said Turkish warships prevented other merchant vessels from approaching the area, citing military maneuvers.
He said a Turkish notice binding the area for such maneuvers expires Feb. 22, but Cyprus says it violates international law.
Turkey opposes what it says is a “unilateral” Cypriot government hydrocarbons search because it disregards the rights of breakaway Turkish Cypriots to the ethnically split island’s natural resources.
Christodoulides said Cyprus and Eni are focused on ensuring that drilling proceeds.”

“Bahrain has ordered 17,000 English school textbooks reprinted for labelling the body of water surrounding the Arab island kingdom as the “Persian Gulf”, a political taboo, state news agency BNA reported on Monday.
Bahrain and the other U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states resent the term, which is commonly used in English to denote the Gulf, through which large amounts of oil are shipped.
The Gulf Arab states accuse non-Arab Iran, formerly known as Persia and which lies on the other side of the sea lane, of seeking to dominate the region, a charge Tehran denies. They insist on calling the stretch of water the “Arabian Gulf”….”

Their assessment is based on reports from ISIS detainees and refugees in Northern Syria that emerged months after the airstrike, the officials added.

Israel warns over Iran’s presence in Syria after air strikes
Jerusalem (AFP) – Israel issued stark warnings on Sunday over Iran’s presence in neighbouring Syria after a confrontation threatened to open a new and unpredictable period in the country’s seven-year civil war.
Israel carried out major air raids in Syria on Saturday, including against what it described as Iranian targets — the first time it had publicly acknowledged doing so since the war began.
The raids came after an Israeli F16 fighter was shot down by Syrian air defences. The pilots survived, but it was Israel’s first loss of a warplane in battle since 1982.
“We inflicted on Saturday a heavy blow to Iranian and Syrian forces,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of Sunday’s cabinet meeting.
“We made clear to everyone that our rules of engagement will not change in any way. We will continue to harm anyone who tries to harm us. This was our policy and this will remain our policy.”

Israel has boosted its air defense in the North following a significant confrontation between the Jewish state, Syria and Iran that led to the loss of an F-16i fighter jet.
While the army refused to comment on the reports, witnesses reported seeing a convoy of missile-defense batteries heading north near the Israeli-Arab city of Baka al-Gharbiya. Other witnesses posted photos of several trucks carrying the batteries on central highways in northern Israel.

Hezbollah: Downing of Israeli F-16 the start of a ‘new strategic era’
Lebanese terror group praises ‘vigilance’ of Syrian army, says crashed jet marks ‘decisive end to old arrangements’
Hezbollah hailed Syria’s air defenses after they reportedly downed an Israeli fighter jet on Saturday, saying it marked the start of a “new strategic era.”
“This is the beginning of a new strategic era which puts an end to the violation of Syrian airspace and territory,” the Lebanese terror group said in a statement published by Lebanon’s ANI news agency.

George Soros hits back at ‘toxic, personal criticism’ and defends donation to anti-Brexit campaign
Billionaire investor George Soros is defending his right to donate hundreds of thousands of pounds to a pro-European Union campaign aimed at stopping the U.K. leaving the political and economic bloc.
The tycoon had been heavily criticized after it was revealed that, through one of his foundations, he had donated a sizable amount of funds to the Best for Britain campaign, which advocates stopping Brexit and keeping the U.K. in the EU.
In response, Soros hit back at what he described as “toxic, personal criticism” and dismissed accusations that his actions were “undermining democracy.”
Writing in the Mail on Sunday newspaper, he said: “I consider Brexit a tragic mistake. … Brexit is a lose-lose proposition both for Britain and for Europe. Politically, Europe without Britain will be weakened in its ability to defend and promote democratic values.”

Explosion, fire at power plant cause blackout in northern Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — An explosion and fire at an electric substation threw much of northern Puerto Rico into darkness late Sunday in a setback for the U.S. territory’s efforts to fully restore power more than five months after Hurricane Maria started the longest blackout in U.S. history. The island’s Electric Power Authority said several municipalities were without power, including parts of the capital, San Juan, but they were optimistic it could be restored within a day as they worked to repair a substation that controls voltage.
The blast illustrated the challenges of restoring a power grid that was already crumbling before it was devastated by the Category 4 hurricane.
Officials said the fire was quickly extinguished and that the explosion knocked two other substations offline.
Carlos Monroig, an administrator for the press office of the Electric Power Authority, told CBS News that the cause of the explosion was due to mechanical failure.

US wants to privatize International Space Station:
Washington (AFP) – Could the International Space Station become a commercial venture run by private industry?
That is the wish of the White House, which hopes to end funding for the costly program within a few years, The Washington Post reported Sunday.
The US plan, the paper said, involves privatizing the ISS, a low-orbit space station piloted by the US space agency NASA and developed jointly with its Russian counterpart.
The station has allowed international crews — notably in collaboration with the Canadian, European and Japanese space agencies — to pursue scientific research in the environment of a low Earth orbit.
“The decision to end direct federal support for the ISS in 2025 does not imply that the platform itself will be deorbited at that time,” says an internal NASA document obtained by the Post. “It is possible that industry could continue to operate certain elements or capabilities of the ISS as part of a future commercial platform.”
“NASA will expand international and commercial partnerships over the next seven years in order to ensure continued human access to and presence in low Earth orbit,” the document says.

Iranian drone, Israeli counter-strike: Probing defenses is the new normal
In the wake of Saturday’s intrusion by an Iranian drone into Israeli air space, which was followed by Israeli strikes on targets in Syria and the shootdown of an IAF F-16I, the commentary has been predictable.
This is unquestionably “big.” The last Israeli warplane lost in combat was more than three decades ago, in the first Lebanon war in 1982. (A helicopter was lost in 2006.) Judging by Syrian regime-friendly reporting and themes in social media, regime forces are over the moon about their achievement in bagging an IAF “Sufa.”
But it’s also the biggest counter-strike by Israeli forces in Syria since the civil war erupted there in 2011. The IAF has conducted comparatively large-scale strikes on logistic and infrastructure targets in the last several years, interdicting, among other things, deliveries from Iran and convoys to Hezbollah. But counter-strikes against weapon systems involved in surveillance of, and attacks, or potential attacks, on Israeli targets or territory, have been very limited.

IS calls on fighters to disrupt Egypt’s vote with attacks (wapo, Feb 12, 2018)

“A video purportedly by the Islamic State’s affiliate in Egypt is calling on its fighters to stage attacks during next month’s presidential elections and warning Egyptians to stay away from polling centers.
The authenticity of the 23-minute video posted late Sunday on websites known to be sympathetic to the group could not be independently verified, but appeared similar to past releases by IS. The video makes a brief mention of an ongoing offensive by security forces against IS, suggesting it was made after the campaign began Friday.
The video showed what appeared to be footage of past IS attacks in Sinai and the gruesome killings of unarmed off-duty soldiers or men suspected of collaborating with security forces. The timing of its release and its contents, however, appear designed to project an image of the group as a resilient force in the face of what is possibly the largest offensive by government forces since the insurgency began nearly five years ago.
Egypt’s military says it has destroyed dozens of targets, killed scores of militants and detained many suspects as part of the operation, which targets “terrorist and criminal elements and organizations” and involves land, naval and air forces from the army and police. The operation covers north and central Sinai, the Nile Delta and the Western Desert along Egypt’s porous border with Libya, home to a number of militant groups…”

Anti-Terror Chief Warns of ‘Complex Attacks’ in the Near Future (breitbart, Feb 12, 2018)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/02/12/german-anti-terror-chief-warns-potential-complex-attacks-near-future/
“Olaf Lindner, the new president of the German Federal Police Special Forces Directorate, has warned that German authorities expect “complex” terror attacks to be attempted in Germany in the future.
Lindner, the former head of Germany’s top anti-terror unit GSG 9, made his remarks at the European Police Congress in Berlin this week, Kronen Zeitung reports.
“Fortunately, in Germany, we have so far been spared a large complex scenario, but that does not mean that it will not be our future, maybe even in the near future,” Lindner warned.
According to Lindner, more cooperation between agencies within Germany and more cooperation between intelligence and police across Europe was needed in order to prevent more terror attacks.
“I see this as an urgent necessity, not only with regard to the police, but also, in particular, between intelligence services and the police units, but also the military, which has to be expanded,” he said.
One key aspect that has led to many fatalities during terror events has been a lack of thorough medical training for anti-terror units as many emergency personnel are not always able to operate in areas during terror events.
Lindner said that he would be pushing for more medical training for anti-terror units like GSG 9 to prevent deaths at the scene of attacks with a new “Tactical Medicine” initiative.
Europe has been inundated with terror attacks over the last two years, with 35 attacks occurring last year alone.
While more complex attacks like the 2005 7/7 London bombings or the 2015 Paris Bataclan attack have been replaced with often lone-wolf style attacks like the Berlin Christmas market massacre, many other complex attacks have been thwarted.
In 2016, a group of Syrian asylum seekers in Dusseldorf planned a similar attack to the Bataclan massacre and according to the Federal Court of Justice (BGH), the terror suspects, who were coordinating with Islamic State, were in the advanced stages of their plot before their arrest.
In November, six more Syrian migrants affiliated with the Islamic State were arrested across Germany plotting a coordinated “mass casualty” attack.”
A Korean-Canadian man has been arrested for a botched Molotov cocktail attack on the U.S. embassy in Seoul, police said Monday.
The man, in his 30s, reportedly told police the attack was to punish the United States, which “has bullied South Korea and me.” He is known to have a mental disorder.
According to Jongno Police Station, which is in charge of the embassy’s external security, the man lit a handmade Molotov cocktail just outside the barbed wire fence encircling the embassy and was about to throw the fire bomb over the fence at 7 p.m. Sunday.

Migrant ghettos ‘nuclear time bomb’ may ‘explode’ due to building unrest, EU official says (express, Feb 12, 2018)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/917732/migrant-ghetto-calais-jungle-nuclear-bomb-europe-european-commission
“MIGRANT ghettos could “become a nuclear bomb in the future”, a European Union official has warned as violence escalates near former settlement camps.
Earlier this month five migrants were shot and 22 others hospitalised after a huge riot broke out in Calais.
The increased violence came just weeks after French president Emmanuel Macron visited Calais to say migrant camps like the “Jungle” that was razed in 2016 must not be rebuilt.
European Commissioner for regional policy Corina Cretu said that money is crucial to stop the segregation of migrants in dangerous ghettos and providing “social integration”
Speaking at the World Urban Forum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Ms Cretu said: “Social integration will be crucial in the years to come.
“If we allow ghettos or segregation of migrants, this will become a nuclear bomb in the future.”
Her comments come as the EU has a war chest of £310 billion to spend by 2020 on its so-called cohesion policy as it tries to reduce inequality across the bloc…”

Turkey’s Operation in Northern Syria
by Sirwan Kajjo
February 12, 2018 at 4:00 am
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11883/turkey-operation-syria
A Turkish assault against Kurdish forces in Syria, such as the ongoing one, was expected by everyone, including the U.S.
Now, three weeks into its controversial offensive against a Kurdish enclave in northern Syria, Turkey’s military is facing fierce resistance from the U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters in the city of Afrin.
Observing the daily operations since they began on January 20, it is noticeable that the Turkish military and its allied Syrian rebels, backed by Turkish air support, have made little progress in taking control of Kurdish-held territory — the main objective behind Ankara’s decision to launch the offensive in Syria.
So far, Turkey’s advances have not gone beyond seizing a number of villages along its border with Syria, according to local sources.
Since mid-2012, the Afrin region in northwestern Syria has been controlled by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG). That occurred after the withdrawal of Syrian regime troops, which then began to focus on fighting rebel forces elsewhere in the country.

Senior Iranian and Turkish officials have explicitly threatened to overwhelm Europe with new waves of Middle Eastern refugees if their demands aren’t met. To these Islamist republics, Muslim refugees are weapons of jihad, not victims.
Iranian officials are also implying that they will build nuclear weapons or at least approach nuclear “break-out” capability as quickly as possible if the nuclear deal ends.
As reported by Abdullah Bozkurt, president of the Stockholm Center for Freedom and author of Turkey Interrupted, the Turkish Interior Minister has threatened to escalate the refugee crisis to the point where German Chancellor Angela Merkel is forced out of power.
In other words, the Islamist government of Turkey — a NATO “ally” — is claiming it holds the fate of Germany’s elected politicians in its hands.
The senior Turkish officials did not outline exactly how Turkey would make refugees flow into Europe, but presumably they would stop hosting Syrian refugees and facilitate a massive movement into the West by overwhelming Greece and Bulgaria, while others would make the long trek back to North Africa for a dangerous northwards trip across the sea.

HOUSTON – Harris County prosecutors say a 41-year-old Pakistani man who fled Texas where he’s charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl is being returned to Houston after he was arrested and unsuccessfully sought asylum in Canada.
Authorities say Aamir Khan was being extradited Thursday from Quebec.
The head of the fugitive apprehension section of the Harris County district attorney’s office, Kim Bryant, says Khan was “walking through the woods” in November in Canada when he was arrested by Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

A Texas man eager to join ISIS took the formal route — he sent the terror group his resume along with a cover letter explaining that he was well-equipped to teach English.
“I am looking to get a position teaching English to students in the Islamic State,” Warren Clark, a 33-year-old University of Houston graduate, penned in the cover letter, which was addressed to “Director.”
Using the pseudonym Abu Muhammad al-Ameriki, Clark continued, “I was born and raised in the United States and have always loved teaching others and learning from others as well. My work background is largely in English and I consider working at the University of Mosul to be a great way of continuing my career.”

When Rep. Keith Ellison ran for Democratic National Committee chairman, he faced questions about past associations with the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in December 2016, Mr. Ellison angrily accused his critics of a “smear campaign” for “talking about something that happened in 1995,” when Mr. Ellison was 32. It turns out Mr. Ellison—who lost his bid but is now the DNC’s deputy chairman—wasn’t telling the full story.
In 2006, during his first run for Congress from Minnesota, Mr. Ellison conceded he had worked with the Nation of Islam for 18 months before the October 1995 Million Man March. In a letter, he assured Jewish groups: “I reject and condemn the anti-Semitic statements and actions of the Nation of Islam [and] Louis Farrakhan. ”
A decade later, during the DNC leadership contest, he accused Mr. Farrakhan and his organization of sowing “hatred and division, including, anti-Semitism, homophobia and a chauvinistic model of manhood. I disavowed them long ago, condemned their views, and apologized.”

(The Hill) President Trump’s newly proposed budget includes a proposal to end federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), part of a package that includes $300 billion in new spending overall.
CPB provides federal funding for PBS and National Public Radio stations.
“The Budget proposes to eliminate Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) over a two year period,” according to the proposal.
“CPB grants represent a small share of the total funding for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR), which primarily rely on private donations to fund their operations,” it continues.

An FBI informant connected to the Uranium One controversy told three congressional committees in a written statement that Moscow routed millions of dollars to America with the expectation it would be used to benefit Bill Clinton’s charitable efforts while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quarterbacked a “reset” in U.S.-Russian relations.
The informant, Douglas Campbell, said in the statement obtained by The Hill that he was told by Russian nuclear executives that Moscow had hired the American lobbying firm APCO Worldwide specifically because it was in position to influence the Obama administration, and more specifically Hillary Clinton.
Democrats have cast doubt on Campbell’s credibility, setting the stage for a battle with Republicans over his testimony.

Statistics Canada will be taking a somewhat creative approach to figuring out how much pot Canadians are actually consuming after the drug is legalized this summer.
Namely, testing the wastewater we flush down the toilet.
The agency issued a call for tender for the work on Monday morning, noting that wastewater in “perhaps 15 or 20” municipalities across the country will be tested on a monthly basis for “cannabis metabolites” and unnamed “other drugs.”

KOREATOWN (CBSLA) — A woman is pleading for help Monday to find the man who attacked her 85-year-old grandmother as she walked in Koreatown for no apparent reason.
Mi Reum, just a few days from her 86th birthday, was walking near Hannam market on Olympic Boulevard and Vermont Avenue in Koreatown at about 2 p.m. Saturday when someone came up from behind her and hit her in the head.
Reum’s granddaughter posted a photo of her grandmother, who she said had fallen from the impact of the attack and split her head open. The photo shows Reum with two black eyes, scrapes and scabs to the bridge of her nose and forehead, and she is wearing a bandage around her head.
