Dozens of Syrian troops and foreign fighters are dead in Syria after a massive bombing campaign by the Turkish air force, in response to the deaths of 33 Turkish soldiers last Thursday. Turkish F-16’s, drones and surface-to-surface missiles were deployed against regime targets all over northwest Syria, including Idlib and Aleppo governates, where Turkish-backed Islamist rebel forces continue to stave off defeat against the Syrian army. There were even strikes reported as far south as the port city of Latakia, a regime stronghold, where Iranian and Russian forces are based.

ICE chief rips New York for sharing driver data with Canada, but not US immigration agents

The acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is accusing the state of New York of putting lives at risk by shutting federal immigration authorities out of state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) databases – and highlighting that the state is still granting access to that same data to Canadian law enforcement.

“Information is the lifeblood of law enforcement. If we learned anything from 9/11 it’s that information needs to be shared quickly and fully, and what this has done is to roll back the clock,” Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Matt Albence told Fox News in an interview Friday. “This is a pre-9/11 mentality in a post-9/11 world and it’s dangerous.”

Attacks on Indian reporters highlight growing intolerance

Reporting in India has never been without its risks, but journalists say attacks on the press during last week’s deadly communal riots between Hindus and Muslims in New Delhi show the situation is deteriorating.

One reporter was shot and survived, another had his teeth knocked out, and many more said Hindu mobs demanded proof of religion and tried to keep them from documenting vandalism and violence that included people attacking one another with axes, swords, metal pipes and guns.

Authorities have yet to provide an official account of what sparked the 72-hour clash that left 42 people dead and hundreds wounded, though tensions between Hindus and Muslims have been building for months over a new citizenship law. Nor have they addressed journalists’ allegations that they were singled out by Hindu mobs.
