Bosnian man arrested in Germany over 2015 Paris attacks

Source: The Guardian

German authorities have arrested a Bosnian man wanted in connection with the 2015 Paris attacks and are preparing his extradition to Belgium.

The German federal police office and Dresden prosecutors said in a joint statement that the 39-year-old suspect was apprehended on the night of 19 June on a European arrest warrant issued by Belgian authorities.

He is accused of “abetting a terrorist organisation linked to the terror attacks, including on the Bataclan concert hall, on 13 November 2015 in Paris”.

German authorities said he had been targeted in a separate investigation into two Bosnian citizens suspected to have violated a military weapons control law.

Investigators Found Immigrant Kids And Families Locked In Disgusting Conditions In Border Camps

When Department of Homeland Security inspectors visited several border facilities in the Rio Grande Valley earlier this month, they found adults and minors with no access to showers, many adults only fed bologna sandwiches, and detainees banging on cell windows — desperately pressing notes to the windows of their cells that detailed their time in custody.

The inspectors compiled a draft report, obtained by BuzzFeed News, that described the conditions as dangerous and prolonged. Some adults were held in standing room–only conditions for a week. There was little access to hot showers or hot food for families and children in some facilities. Some kids were being held in closed cells. There was severe overcrowding.

---------

Most single adults had not showered for nearly a month while in CBP custody, the report said. Instead, wet wipes were handed out to maintain hygiene. Many single adults were being fed only bologna sandwiches, leading to some having medical issues like constipation. In one facility, officials found some single adults in standing room–only conditions for a week while others were held in overcrowded cells for more than a month.

There will be a tsunami of such stories coming out. We must guard against desensitisation. I grew up in the troubles in Northern Ireland. Horror becomes normal very easily when you hear it every day.

Bernie Sanders Won't Commit To Conceding Primary Even If He Has No Chance Of Being The Dem Nominee

https://twitter.com/NatashaBertrand/status/1143948848961925120

Bernie Sanders wouldn't commit to dropping out of the race before the convention if he were not the nominee and said some people say he would've beat Trump "if the system weren't rigged against me."




If he plays that game, when the stakes are so bloody high it will be unforgivable.

I BELIEVE!

Great example of the cognitive dissonance needed to continue to support Trump.... he makes Trump supporters sound so bloody gullible and foolish. Genius!

I believe the president. I have always believed him.

I believed him when he said he wanted to ban Muslims from entering the United States. And I believe him now when he says his travel ban has nothing to do with religious discrimination.

I believed him when he said Mexico is sending us its rapists and criminals, and I believed him when he said he loves Hispanics. I believe that Trump Tower makes the best taco bowls.

I believe that Donald Trump will drain the swamp and that his election has delivered us from the corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

I believe him when he says there’s no reason for him to disclose his tax returns.

I believe him when he says there’s no reason to divest himself of any of his financial holdings.

I believed him when he protested that he wasn’t trying to get a security clearance for his daughter and son-in-law. And I believe him now when says he needs his family installed by his side in the West Wing.

I believe that Jared Kushner's deserves a security clearance.

I believe that only rank partisanship and media bias explain the skepticism about Trump's finances running rampant in the press.

I believe E. Jean Carroll is a cheap tramp who was asking for it. I also believe she is not Trump's type.

I believe Temple Taggart McDowell is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.

I believe Rachel Crooks is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.

I believe Natasha Stoynoff is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.

I believe Mindy McGillivray is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.
I believe that all of the other women who have accused the President of sexual assault are also cheap tramps who were asking for it.

In any event, I also believe that the President was merely engaged in “locker room talk” when he boasted of grabbing women by the pussy.

I believe that when you're a star, they let you do it.

I believed the President when he said he was going to repeal and replace Obamacare and I believed him when he said it was the Democrats’ fault that he didn’t repeal or replace Obamacare.

I believe the President that he’s a great deal maker, and I look forward to his negotiating new trade deals on my behalf.

I believe that tariffs will bring China to its knees.

I believe tariffs will bring Mexico to its knees.

I believe tariffs will bring the European Union to knees.

I believe tariffs will bring Canada to its knees.

I believe both that separating children from their parents is good policy that will deter desperate people from fleeing Central America and coming to the United States and that the policy of separating children from their parents is President Obama's fault.

I believe in a big, beautiful. transparent wall. I believe in steel slats.

I believe there is nothing unusual about Trump’s solicitude for Vladimir Putin.

I believe there is nothing unusual about Trump’s solicitude for Kim Jong Un.

I believe there is nothing unusual about Trump’s solicitude for Regep Tayip Erdogan.

I believe there is nothing unusual about Trump’s solicitude for Mohammed Bin Salman.

I believe that it makes a great deal of sense to tweet belligerently about Iran and also tweet one’s doubts and hesitancy about military action.

I believe that the whole Russia connection story is “fake news” designed to cover up an embarrassing electoral loss on the part of the Democrats.
