We got to talking about National Security law, hacktivism, and terrorism. I had been Wired's correspondent on Anonymous, and probably understood The hacktivist collective better than anyone. They had recently tore through the net, hacking companies and governments like they were wet paper towels. I was explaining to my fellow nerds that Anonymous was very similar to Al-Qaeda. Though in form only, not in content.

Her fiance, Shannon Johnson, was a restaurant inspector there. She didn't panic until, driving home, she heard on the radio that the victims were employees of the desert city's environmental health department. She grabbed her phone and dialed Shannon's number over and over, but it kept going straight to voicemail. That's when, she said, she knew, "in my bones," he was gone.

Trump said in an address last night from Florida, where he's spending Thanksgiving weekend, that the suspect "was flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021, on those infamous [ Operation Allies Welcome] flights." Trump added: "[W]e will not be deterred from the mission the [wounded] service members were so nobly fulfilling. ... I have directed the Department of War to mobilize an additional 500 troops to help protect our capital city."

We need some expertise here. A lot of speculation can go several different ways right now. This happened in our nation's capital. It happened near the White House. It seems to be very brash and bold kind of an attack of some sort. We don't know anything about motive. But tell us about going into a holiday, the type of intelligence we're gathering, what we're seeing, Jones began, introducing Sexton a former CIA and NYPD officer.

In a news release Tuesday, the RCMP said its Central Ontario team and GTA integrated national security enforcement team arrested the individual on Nov. 4 and charged them with participating in activities of a terrorist group.

The youth was also charged with inviting a person to provide property, such as firearms, for the intended use of facilitating or carrying out terrorist activity, the RCMP said.

Donald Trump on Monday began the process of designating certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists, a move would bring sanctions against one of the Arab world's oldest and most influential Islamist movements. Trump signed an executive order directing secretary of state Marco Rubio and treasury secretary Scott Bessent to submit a report on whether to designate any Muslim Brotherhood chapters, such as those in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan, according to a White House fact sheet.

At least three security personnel have been killed after a suicide bomber and gunmen attacked the Federal Constabulary (FC) headquarters in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar.

In May after four days of fighting with Pakistan, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared any future act of terror will be treated as an act of war by his government. New Delhi had blamed Islamabad for an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir's Pahalgam in April that killed 25 tourists. Islamabad denied India's allegations, but in early May, India launched aerial attacks deep inside Pakistani territory, sparking a brief but intense air war in which the South Asian neighbours bombed each other's military bases.

According to the draft text, the death penalty would apply to individuals who kill Israelis out of racist motives and with the aim of harming the State of Israel and the revival of the Jewish people in its land, The Times of Israel reported. Critics said the wording means that in practice, the death penalty would apply almost exclusively to Arabs who kill Jews, not to Jewish hardliners who carry out attacks on Palestinians. Attempts to introduce similar legislation have failed in the past.

Originally, I suppose what I was thinking was that some would go straight away, then over a few years, they'd get 'turbo cancer',

Khan, 21, was arrested by heavily armed Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers near a gas station in Ormstown, Que., last year, after authorities said he paid a human smuggler to help him cross the U.S. border. Khan faces two terrorism-related charges over an alleged ISIS-inspired plot to open fire at an unnamed Jewish centre in Brooklyn, which was set to be carried out around the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel.

He called the ICE employees, people showing up to collect a dirty paycheck. He wrote that he intended to maximize lethality against ICE personnel, and to maximize property damage at the facility. He hoped to minimize any collateral damage or injury to the detainees and any other innocent people. It seems that he did not intend to kill the detainees, or harm them. It's clear from these notes that he was targeting ICE agents and ICE personnel.

You know, 96% of attackers when you're looking at the US Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center, looking at 172 mass attacks in the US between 2016 and 2020 96% were non-trans men, Keilar said. So I know you're focusing on this shooter being trans. The shooter was trans and that is certainly of note. But are you missing the bigger picture here when you zero in on that instead of more broadly these school shooters as an epidemic and you perhaps miss the through line that connects them all?

"There's nothing but hatred and contempt. There can't be forgiveness for such an act of evil. I really, truly don't believe that. I think forgiveness is something that you earn. Forgiveness is something that you would be genuinely sorry for what's happened. "I believe if he hadn't have killed himself, he'd have gone on to do it again. And I looked at that man in the face before he detonated that bomb and there was no hesitation."

A teenager who listed Hitler, Mussolini and the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik as his inspirations and who planned a terrorist attack on a mosque has been sentenced to 10 years in custody. The 17-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, had intended to set fire to an Islamic centre in Greenock, Inverclyde, after befriending the imam and mapping out the building's interior on his phone.
