His first wife wasn't in the CIA, and didn't know he worked for the government agency. He couldn't tell her where he'd actually been that day or why he'd sometimes come home late. Even harmless details he couldn't share with her, he said. He'd come home, and she'd ask how his day was, what he'd done, and who he'd interacted with, and he recalled only giving one-word answers like "great," "nothing," and "nobody."
We are not going to cede an inch of territory in this hemisphere to our enemies or adversaries. The US was using hard power, military power, lethal force, to protect and defend the American homeland. Miller further maintained there is no criminal justice solution to drug cartels, which he likened to armed groups like al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS).
Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. We'll do everything possible where that won't be the case, but America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against, basically, civilization.
We feel your pain, we share your grief. India stands with Israel firmly with full conviction in this moment and beyond. Countering terrorism requires sustained and coordinated global action, and India supports all efforts that contribute to durable peace and regional stability.

The conviction last week of community journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio has intensified concerns in the Philippines about how counterterrorism laws are being applied, particularly their impact on critical journalism and civic dissent.

The FBI produced a self-congratulatory report of the changes they've made since 9/11. It describes the FBI's new intelligence focus. It boasts that it has a functional computer system (which for the FBI is an accomplishment) and 10,200 SCI work stations. Oh, and it proclaims with joy that the FBI has had a 48% growth in surveillance teams and capacity since 9/11. Let us rejoice in the proliferation of domestic spying!
OPINION - The global terrorism landscape in 2026 - the 25 th anniversary year of the 9/11 terrorism attacks - is more uncertain, hybridized, and combustible than at any point since 9/11. Framing a sound U.S. counterterrorism strategy - especially in the second year of a Trump administration - will require more than isolated strikes against ISIS in Nigeria, punitive counterterrorism operations in Syria, or a tougher rhetorical posture.
In a post on the platform X, Yerlikaya said the raids had involved the chief public prosecutor's office, the national police's counterterrorism department, intelligence officials, and provincial police departments.

"Just as we have never given opportunities to those trying to bring this homeland to its knees through terrorism up to this day, we will never give them opportunities in the future either!"

Donald Trump is supposed to be the guy that's concerned about crime In every FBI field office and we just got this 25-45% of the agents that used to work on counterrorism, cyber-crime, counter-espionage, they've all been taken off those duties and assigned to immigration. HOLY COW: Sen. Mark Warner just revealed Trump's DOJ pulled up to 45% of FBI agents off counter-terrorism and CHILD RAPE AND EXPLOITATION cases to reassign them to immigration. Trump's priorities aren't America First. They're predators first.
Two suspects were in custody and police said they were working to find a motive. Details of the attack were sketchy. Bloodied passengers spilled out of the long-distance train when it made an emergency stop on Saturday in the town of Huntingdon, where dozens of police waited, soon after multiple stabbings were reported onboard. Two people were arrested by armed officers at the station.
The view that the Fourth Amendment does not apply to domestic military operations against terrorists makes eminent sense. Consider, for example, a case in which a military commander, authorized to use force domestically, received information that, although credible, did not amount to probable cause, that a terrorist group had concealed a weapon of mass destruction in an apartment building. In order to prevent a disaster in which hundreds or thousands of lives would be lost,

His predecessor, Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, had only months earlier ousted the last democratically elected president, Roch Marc Christian Kabore, and declared himself head of state. Traore justified his own takeover by citing the worsening threat of terrorism. He promised to defeat the extremists within six months and hold democratic elections within a year.
In 2016, a meeting in Kabul revealed China's persistent concern regarding the presence of Uyghur militants associated with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, reflecting strategic intelligence priorities.
"To Luluzinho, Mikazz was God, states Portuguese prosecutor Felismina Carvalho Franco in the indictment filed this month. He became his mentor, supporting and encouraging violent acts."
