1. Youth in the Netherlands call police, scream Allah hu Ackbar and attack police with Fireworks
Zojuist op het #AnnaBlamanplein in #DenHaag. Jongeren scholden de politie uit, riepen 'allahu akbar' en gooiden met vuurwerk richting de agenten. pic.twitter.com/HJhn4Dbj5n

2. Something going on at US Embassy Baghdad. More will be added on this…

Here is a clue:

It begins to fall into place:
Militia men and their supporters pledging allegiance to founder of Islamic Republic of Iran Khomeini. As the cleric throws a stone at the US embassy, a militia man commands: “stone the Satan”. Khomeini came up with the derogatory term ‘Great Satan’ for the United States #Iraq pic.twitter.com/kyjt2v78Xx

And it gets more interesting:
Iranian Militia Leader Leading Iraq U.S. Embassy Raid Listed as Obama White House Guest
(I wonder if he was one of the people on board Air Force 1 when Obama overflew NYC with it weaving in and out of the skyscrapers followed by an F16 without informing the civil authorities at all.)
Iranian militia leader Hadi al-Amiri, one of several identified as leading an attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, reportedly visited the White House in 2011 during the presidency of Barack Obama.
On Tuesday, a mob in Baghdad attacked the U.S. embassy in retaliation against last weekend’s U.S. airstrikes against the Iran-backed Shiite militia Kataib Hezbollah (KH), responsible for killing an American civilian contractor. KH is one of a number of pro-Iran militias that make up the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/PMU), which legally became a wing of the Iraqi military after fighting the Sunni Islamic State terrorist group.
President Donald Trump has since accused Iran of having “orchestrated” the embassy attack and stated that the government would be “held fully responsible.”
Much more to come. Thank you Yucki for all the posts on the Embassy situation. There is likely much more in the Reader’s Links post for today. But there is much editing to do. If I can get to them and find them I will add them here.
May you all enjoy a truly wonderful New Year’s Eve tonight. Don’t worry about the site. All the horror will still be here tomorrow.
They sent in 100 Marines to back up the Embassy Guards and had AH60 Apache attack helicopters for air support. This was a deliberate attack on the Embassy and President Trump was determined it wouldn’t be another Benghazi.
1 I’d just like to point out that happened a year ago.
That stuff happens every year at NYE. I haven’t seen anything yet about last night, I’ll post links if I do.
