Modi vows no mercy: India explosion aftermath Live Updates

The Indian PM said he was in touch with the agencies investigating the blast

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the people responsible for the blast that killed 12 people in Delhi on Monday would be “brought to justice.”

Modi, who is on an official visit to Bhutan, said he was in touch with the agencies investigating the incident. “Our agencies will get to the bottom of this conspiracy,” he said. “Those responsible will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice.”

Indian police are investigating the deadly car blast in Delhi under a law aimed at combating terrorism, according to local media. Dozens were injured by the blast in a densely populated area of Delhi.

Indian TV channels said a case was registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), a law enacted in 1967 to combat acts of alleged terrorism. Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday that “all angles” are being investigated and security agencies would come to a conclusion soon.

Although the cause and perpetrators of the blast are still unknown, Indian media reports indicate that it occurred on the same day police discovered 2,900kg of explosives in Faridabad, 50km (31 miles) from the Indian capital. The seizure was part of a counterterrorism operation conducted by police from Jammu, Kashmir, and Haryana.

Two individuals, a university professor, and a doctor were reportedly arrested in connection with the bust. Former Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police SP Vaid said the suspects are likely linked to Pakistan’s “deep state” and that the seized explosives were intended for use in a terrorist attack. The UAPA was amended in August 2019 by the Indian government, which added the provision of designating an individual as terrorist. Prior to this amendment, only organizations could be designated as terrorists.

Arab state seeding clouds to get water

The UAE is spending millions of dollars annually to tackle water scarcity by triggering rainfall

The United Arab Emirates has turned to cloud seeding in an effort to address its chronic water shortage, a local research director has said.

Cloud seeding is a costly operation, with the UAE spending millions annually to boost its freshwater supplies. Pilots fly into promising clouds and release salt particles to stimulate rainfall in a country that receives less than 100mm of rain per year.

The technique is part of the country’s “adaptation strategy to face climate change,” Alya Al Mazrouei, director of the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science (UAEREP), told the Financial Times on Monday.

However, the method has sparked controversy as critics warn it could exacerbate extreme weather events, such as flooding and droughts, by altering natural weather patterns. They also express concerns about the environmental impact of the chemicals used and the potential unintended consequences of artificially modifying the weather.

Orestes Morfin, a senior expert at the Climate and Water Initiative in Arizona, told the outlet that “cloud seeding is seen as an additional potential tool for boosting water supply.”

Scientists at the UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology estimated in a 2023 study that cloud seeding could add up to 419 million cubic meters of harvestable water per year.

Water scarcity is a longstanding challenge for the UAE, which relies heavily on desalination for drinking water. Since the early 2000s, UAE authorities have been working to increase rainfall through artificial means. Currently, the UAE’s rain enhancement program operates with ten pilots and four aircraft, ready to deploy around the clock.

“Whenever we have the opportunity to do it… we don’t usually miss any opportunity,” Al Mazrouei said.

The operation is expensive, costing $8,000 per flight hour and averaging 1,100 flight hours per year, totaling nearly $9 million. However, Al Mazrouei argues that “the cost per cubic meter of additional water is lower than for desalination.” The UAE has invested $22.5 million in research grants to improve the technology.

Spy Agencies Cozied Up To Wuhan Virologist Before Lying About Pandemic

A close collaborator of virologists who studied coronaviruses in Wuhan frequently advised America’s top spy agency in the lead-up to the pandemic, and that same agency suppressed intelligence on the parallels between COVID-19 and their research.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) hub for foreign biological threats dismissed the intelligence pointing to a lab accident in Wuhan as “misinformation” in January 2021, two former government sources who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive internal meetings told the Daily Caller News Foundation. New documents show that intelligence risked implicating ODNI’s own bioengineering advisor — University of North Carolina professor Ralph Baric.

Baric, who engineered novel coronaviruses with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), advised ODNI four times a year on biological threats, according to documents released Oct. 30 by Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.

Baric did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

The professor’s ties to American intelligence may run even deeper, the documents reveal, as ODNI facilitated a meeting between the CIA and Baric about a project on coronaviruses in September 2015.

The email exchange with the subject line “Request for Your Expertise” shows an unnamed government official with a CIA-affiliated email address pitching a “possible project” to Baric relating to “[c]oronavirus evolution and possible natural human adaptation.”

The new documents shed a bit of light on a question members of Congress have posed for years: Whether our own intelligence agencies knew more about the likelihood of a lab origin of COVID than they told the public.

“Director Ratcliffe has been on the forefront of this issue since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and has been committed to transparency and accountability on this issue,” a CIA spokesperson said in a statement. “In January – as one of the Director’s first actions at Langley – CIA made public its assessment that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin. CIA will continue to evaluate any available credible new intelligence reporting as appropriate.”

Paul is seeking more documents from ODNI on potential ties between U.S. intelligence and the research in Wuhan as part of an ongoing investigation by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and has promised public hearings in the coming months.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard disbanded the ODNI biological threats office earlier this year following questions from the DCNF about its suppression of COVID origins intelligence in August. Gabbard and a dedicated working group have also been quietly investigating the origins of COVID.

Lauren Southern says Canadian intelligence tried to recruit her and she has the tapes to prove it

Intelligence agents showed up at my door late last year. I told them to leave.

They proceeded to call me from anonymous numbers repeatedly. Contacted my gym. Told me they wouldn’t go away unless I “built a relationship with them” as an asset.

“Your audience will never know”

Returned to speak with me multiple times claiming they were giving me “last chances” before they threw me to the wolves.

They told me that the courts wouldn’t care if I was actually guilty or not. That essentially someone had to take the fall and I could ensure it wasn’t me.

It was repeatedly implied to me that:

“You’re smart you know it’s not what’s true that matters it’s the perception”

I was made to believe there was a potential arrest coming.

Made to believe I could never travel to the US again without being arrested by the FBI.

Made to believe I might not be around to see my child grow up.

None of these things were true. I can enter the US without issue. I was never arrested. I did nothing wrong.

I was psychologically manipulated for months in an attempt to turn me into a government asset.

We have one party consent in Canada, and I believe it is in the public interest for people to understand how this works, as I know I’m not the only one.

I have nothing against the agent. He was just given instructions and a job.

But I have no doubt if his job were to destroy my life and try to jail me based on “perception” not “truth” he would do it.

I’m just doing my job as well by publishing this.

These are just a few excerpts cut from hours of conversations to give people an idea of our conversations:

Settlers launch major arson attack against Palestinians in central West Bank — reports

The IDF says it detained several Israeli settlers who participated in an attack on Palestinians in two West Bank villages close to Nablus a short while ago.

Troops were dispatched to Bayt Lid and Dayr Sharaf following reports of dozens of masked Israelis attacking Palestinians in the villages and setting fire to property, the army says.

Israeli authorities say that four Palestinians were injured in the attack and that 10 vehicles, a barn, a plastics factory and a large warehouse were set on fire in the attack.

“Security forces worked to disperse the [suspects] using riot dispersal means, and detained and arrested several Israeli civilians,” the IDF says, adding that the suspects were handed over to the police.

The IDF says that a short while later, dozens of Israelis gathered at the nearby Baron Industrial Zone, where many of the masked Israeli assailants had fled to.

“IDF troops rushed to the scene, where Israeli civilians attacked the troops and vandalized a military vehicle,” the military says.

The army says that it “strongly condemns all forms of violence that divert the attention of commanders and soldiers from their missions of defense and counterterrorism.”

Palestinian media reports that Israeli troops prevented Palestinians from being able to reach some of the fires sparked by settlers in the attack.

Arrests in such incidents of settler violence are rare and convictions are even less common.

The Israel Police later says that four Israeli suspects have been taken for questioning. The investigation into the settler attack is being led by the police’s West Bank district, alongside the Shin Bet security agency.

‘Clinton Corruption Files’: Bondi, Patel unleash new evidence about former first family foundation

Officials say evidence sent to Congress raises fresh concerns that government officials kept evidence from prosecutors.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have produced to Congress a new cache of documents showing how Bill and Hillary Clinton's foundation collected donations from foreign and domestic interests seeking influence – raising fresh concerns that such evidence was kept from federal prosecutors who tried to investigate pay-to-play allegations against the former first family a decade ago.

Officials told Just the News that the documents were transmitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee in recent days and detail numerous instances of foreigners and even a U.S. defense contractor seeking to curry favor with the Clintons through donations to their family charity, including when Hillary Clinton served as secretary of State. Bill Clinton was a U.S. president from 1993 to 2001.

The officials said some of the evidence was flagged by whistleblowers who claimed such evidence was kept from a corruption investigation that was being conducted in 2015 by the Little Rock, Ark., U.S. attorney’s office before it was shut down by the Obama administration's Justice Department.

The documents will make clear that there was an effort “to obstruct legitimate inquiries into the Foundation by blocking real investigation by line-level FBI agents and DOJ field prosecutors and keeping them from following the money,” said one official directly familiar with the documents.

Officials said they have been gathering the evidence for weeks and have dubbed the documents the "Clinton corruption files."

Bondi and Patel hope to make the documents public by as soon as the end of this week once they work through some issues protecting whistleblower identities, officials said.

Officials said they also expect new evidence to be released this week in the Arctic Frost investigation conducted by Jack Smith, including new contacts between the special prosecutor who pursued Donald Trump and top officials like former FBI Director Christopher Wray and new details on how that probe sought to pierce the privacy of members of Congress by gathering their phone records.

Just the News reported earlier this year that the FBI had three separate investigations into possible pay-to-play allegations against the Clinton foundation, but all were closed after Obama Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates ordered agents to “shut it down“

Officials said the new documents will detail how lower-level FBI agents and prosecutors kept information from reaching decision makers in the various probes of the Clinton Foundation.

Netanyahu, Kushner strike deal to expel Hamas terrorists from Rafah—but world says no

About 200 Hamas operatives remain confined in tunnels under Rafah; Israel agrees to allow their evacuation unharmed, but no country has yet agreed to receive them as US and Israeli officials weigh next steps under Trump’s Gaza plan

Under the reported terms of the agreement, Israel would allow the terrorists to be evacuated unharmed. However, no country — including Turkey and Qatar — has agreed to receive them, the official said.

According to the official, the original Trump administration plan granted amnesty to Hamas terrorists only if they surrendered their weapons, pledged not to return to terrorism and only after the return of the remains of all Israeli hostages. The Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on the report.

The 200 Hamas operatives are currently confined to an IDF-controlled enclave in the Jenina neighborhood of Rafah. Hamas has demanded that they be transferred to the Palestinian side of the so-called “Yellow Line,” which marks territory still under IDF control. They are among hundreds — possibly thousands — of civilians and terrorists caught between the Israeli border and the Phase A withdrawal line outlined in the current ceasefire agreement.

The IDF is trying to exploit a narrow window of opportunity to destroy tunnel infrastructure in the buffer area. Similar operations in the past have led to deadly clashes. Additional pockets of Hamas terrorists are believed to be present in other Israeli-controlled zones, including the Bani Suheila enclave near Khan Younis.

US officials fear Trump Gaza peace plan in jeopardy, internal documents show

Classified briefings raise doubts over next steps in Gaza ceasefire plan, citing confusion over implementation, Israeli concerns and lack of clarity around international force; officials warn long-term US engagement may clash with America First agenda

Top officials in the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump are deeply concerned that his peace plan for the Gaza Strip—designed to formally end the fighting between Israel and Hamas—may collapse because of the difficulties in implementing key parts of the proposal, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing internal documents circulated among U.S. officials.

The documents—presented at a meeting last month in Israel of some 400 officials and private‑sector attendees at the U.S. military’s newly created Civil‑Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat—were prepared by U.S. security agencies and outside advisers. Lt. Gen. Michael Fenzel, the U.S. security coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority, organized the conference.

The presentation highlighted U.S. government “situation reports” on conditions in Gaza and consulting documents from the Blair Institute, founded by former British prime minister Tony Blair, who has been involved in mediation efforts. One U.S. security official told Politico that the presentation reflected genuine concern in Washington about the initiative’s future.

While the documents stress that the U.S. remains committed to the deal, they underscore that the obstacles to stabilizing the Gaza Strip and achieving a lasting peace between Israel and Hamas are at odds with the public optimism expressed by Trump and his administration.

The next phases of the plan involve an international stabilization force to monitor a ceasefire and oversee the demilitarization of Gaza, but key details remain unclear. Questions remain about the legal mandate of the force, rules of engagement, composition, deployment location and oversight—one slide indicated the United States would oversee the force. According to the report, Israel is reluctant to withdraw from the territory while Hamas remains armed, and there is resistance to involvement of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza.
