Manchester Arena suicide bomber rescued from Libya by Royal Navy before attack - report

Published time: 31 Jul, 2018 09:42

Manchester bomber Salman Abedi was rescued by the Royal Navy during the 2014 Libyan Civil War, it’s been revealed. He was one of 100 British citizens evacuated, three years before he killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert.

According to unnamed government sources cited by the Daily Mail, Abedi and his younger brother Hashem boarded the HMS Enterprise in Tripoli in August 2014, which initially took the brothers to Malta where they were boarded on a flight bound for the UK.

It is unclear whether the UK government paid for the flights.

“During the deteriorating security situation in Libya in 2014, Border Force officials were deployed to assist with the evacuation of British nationals and their dependants,” a government spokesperson said.

British security services had been monitoring Abedi when he initially travelled to Libya, though they stopped doing so a month before he was rescued. A review into the attack concluded that the intelligence services’ decision to stop monitoring Abedi was correct, based on the information available at the time.

In May 2017, Abedi killed 22 people – seven of whom were children – when he detonated a homemade bomb that was strapped to his body.

A government source told the Daily Mail: “For this man to commit such an atrocity on UK soil after we rescued him from Libya was an act of utter betrayal.”

Hashem Abedi is reportedly being held in Libya’s Mitiga airport by the militia group ‘Special Deterrence Force,’ also known as Rada. The British government has requested his extradition to face trial for his involvement in the Manchester attack. The request has so far been refused.

VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. - The 30th Space Wing safely terminated a test launch over the Pacific Ocean Tuesday morning.

According to officials, the 30th Space Wing terminated the unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean at 4:42 a.m. PDT Tuesday due to an anomaly.

An anomaly is any unexpected event during the test. Since anomalies may arise from many factors relating to the operational platform itself, or the test equipment, careful analysis is needed to identify the cause. A Launch Analysis Group is forming to investigate the cause, officials said.

The test launches are routine and are used to identify and correct any issues with the weapon system to ensure the Minuteman III's continued reliability and accuracy.

Turley: Paul Manafort Is Probably Going To Jail; Here's What He's Up Against

Attorney and legal analyst Jonathan Turley has weighed in on Paul Manafort's fate, as the first of two trials against the former Trump campaign aide gets underway in Virginia on Monday. Turley suggests that Manafort is "in the worst possible legal position" of having to "run the tables" - beating all 18 counts in his Virginia trial, as well as seven counts in his D.C. trial, while trying Mueller's team will probably point out that he's a multimillionaire Washington lobbyist that a jury is unlikely to identify with.

That said, there are many considerations to take into account which Turley describes - including the possibility of a presidential pardon, however if you want to know precisely how screwed Manafort is, read on:

Authored by Jonathan Turley via The Hill

Paul Manafort gambles against all odds at trial

Hunter Thompson once decried the fleeting fortunes of gamblers as “tomorrow's blinking toads, dumb beasts with no hope.” Paul Manafort is about to discover if he is one of those “blinking toads.” The trial of the former Trump presidential campaign chairman in Virginia, on more than a dozen criminal counts of tax fraud, bank fraud and reporting violations, is about to begin. Rather than take a plea, Manafort has taken the gamble of a trial and the lingering chance of a pardon.

Manafort is in the worst possible legal position of having to “run the tables” by not only beating 18 counts in Virginia but then beating seven counts in a separate trial in Washington. He needs a sweep or nothing. That is quite a gamble and, frankly, Manafort is a bad bet. While he needs to beat all the charges, special counsel Robert Mueller needs only one conviction on one count to put Manafort away for as much as a decade.

That is what it means to “play the house.” The house usually wins. Right now, Las Vegas would give Manafort about the same odds of acquittal as it would give the Baltimore Orioles to win the World Series. Indeed, the one thing the Orioles, ranked worst in the MLB, have going for them is that people actually want them to win. That is not the case with Manafort, and that lack of empathy is likely to grow considerably in coming weeks with the expected witnesses at his trial.

The first challenge for the defense is that Manafort can be easily painted as someone who made millions off some of the world’s most disreputable characters. The more that jurors learn of Manafort, the less likely they are to find him relatable or likable. To the contrary, his lifestyle will place a wide social and economic chasm between him and the jury. That is by design, as prosecutors know his lifestyle could leave jurors less inclined to give him the benefit of any doubt.

For that reason, they intend to call a myriad of minor witnesses, from a ticket vendor for the New York Yankees to a high-end tailor to a Mercedes Benz salesman. Jurors will hear about his six homes, $2 million worth of antiques, a $500,000 landscaping bill, the two silk rugs costing $160,000, and almost $1.5 million in clothes for himself. All of this is part of a lifestyle that seemed to be collapsing under its own weight, necessitating the alleged fraudulent efforts to secure nearly $25 million in bank loans.

This type of evidence invites class resentment and an unconscious desire to see an elitist fall. The legal chasm may be equally challenging. Jurors will be buried in a mountain of transactional and bank documents from numerous countries. Manafort is accused of hiding $30 million to evade U.S. taxes by using accounts in the United Kingdom, Cyprus and the Caribbean island nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Prosecutors claim he may have made more than $60 million in working for Ukrainian interests.

>What must be completed to engage MI over other (3) letter agencies

During the 1950s and 60s, federal troops and federalized National

Guard forces, accompanied by military intelligence personnel, were

deployed to help integrate Southern schools23 and to help deal with

civil disorders in Detroit in 1967 and other cities the following year

after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.24 Throughout

this period military intelligence units also continued to collect data on

Americans at home who were suspected of involvement in subversive

activities.25 In the late 1960s, the Pentagon compiled personal

information on more than 100,000 politically active Americans in an

effort to quell civil rights and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and

to discredit protestors.26 The Army used 1,500 plainclothes agents to

watch demonstrations, infiltrate organizations, and spread

disinformation. 2

' According to one report, the Army had at least one

observer at every demonstration of more than twenty people.28

The Army's activities were summed up by Senator Sam Ervin:

Allegedly for the purpose of predicting and preventing

civil disturbances which might develop beyond the control of

state and local officials, Army agents were sent throughout

the country to keep surveillance over the way the civilian

population expressed their sentiments about government

policies. In churches, on campuses, in classrooms, in public

meetings, they took notes, tape-recorded, and photographed

people who dissented in thought, word, or deed. This included clergymen, editors, public officials, and anyone who

sympathized with the dissenters.

>Hahahaha, Trump has had MI infiltrate Antifa and all the dissenting local govts.

Always 5 steps ahead!

Please be true.

Yemen’s Houthis ready to unilaterally halt attacks in Red Sea – official

Yemen’s Houthi group said on Tuesday it is ready to unilaterally halt attacks in the Red Sea to support peace efforts. Saudi Arabia earlier suspended oil exports through a strategic Red Sea channel following an attack on crude tankers last week. Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition has been battling the Houthi movement in a three-year-old war, borders the Bab al-Mandeb strait, which is one of the world’s most important trade routes for oil tankers. “The unilateral halt in naval military operations will be for a limited time period and could be extended and include all fronts if this move is reciprocated by the leadership of the coalition,” said the head of the Houthi supreme revolutionary committee, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi. It was not clear whether the group would halt its attacks immediately or how long the cessation would last, Reuters said.
