Suuuure. That's a marginally better defense than his first one, which was "oh I just randomly stumbled upon a kalachnikov in a garbage can and decide to rob people in a train to buy food, and listened to Islamic state propaganda immediately before the event just because ".

It happened in Paris, by the way. Perpetrator was born in Chechnya in 1997 and yelled "Allah Akbar" before stabbing five people. Daesh claimed responsibility for it.

Another incident happened after that with bombings in Surabaya on churches. Some were stopped.

The culprit was an entire family that fought with IS in Syria. This was the first time where Islamists used children as willing suicide bombers.

Just a few days after the incident in Depok, south of Jakarta, where terror suspects in a detention centre run by the Mobile Brigade Corps (basically Indonesian SWAT) staged an uprising that killed five officers.

INP headquarters in Pekanbaru is targeted by the JAD in a terror attack by ramming a van into the gate and using katanas. Not surprisingly, all were shot dead except one who was pounced on by armed officers.

One officer got killed.

There's a controversy over a French woman being sentenced to life in prison for being part of ISIS.

http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2018/jun/03/iraq-court-sentences-french-woman-to-life-for-is-membership-1823224.html

There's the usual back and forth about whether she was a victim, a willing participant, or some combination thereof.

She's claiming that her husband, a simple cook, tricked her into coming to Syria and she had no idea where they were going to until it was too late.

I don't believe her for a minute, so I am not overly saddened by this judgment.

[up]Seconded, that's extremely suspect and thus unless there's compelling evidence that she was coerced I would say that IMO she's clearly guilty.

Police Nationale announced the arrest of an Iraqi man who was said to be identified as an experienced ISIL commander masquerading as a refugee.

Of course, French intelligence is worried that terrorists are going to use the migration crisis to fake being refugees.

And my country got a new Leftist terrorist group.

Yeah, we can finally complain about something that arent Right Wingers for once.

It seems like a rogue millitar went to the jungle and is reforming The Remnants of the previous terrorist groups, trying to return the situation to the worst moments of Peru's internal War on Terror.

...Peru is a damn Soap Opera.

Great, as if we didn't had enough troubles in the political scene.

I expect that Vizcarra doesn't hold his punches on them and orders to give no quarter to these bastards, no way that he (or any sane politician, the few that remain) is going to allow the terrorists a chance to grow in power again.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, maybe we should try to find the absolutes that tie us.

I'd hope Vizcarra do anything. Otherwise, we're gonna experience The Peruvian Conflict Part II.

The Taliban agreed to work a ceasefire with Kabul.

Foreign troops aren’t exempted from this and they’ll fight them when it happens.

A new terrorist attack on my country, Peru. Probably (dunno if its confirmed) from the FAR EPT.

My father got paranoic and worried, the attack was in his Departament (think of it as a State in the USA way) Huancavelica. The victims were all polices/militaries but he's still worried.

I mean, my dad come to the coast because he was running away from them, is totally understandable why he is afraid. I'm honestly worried too, not to the same "we're back in the 80!!" like my dad, but still worried.

Marxist Nationalist Drug Dealers...that is a scary combo

Finland’s first terror attack: Life sentence for Turku stabber

The District Court of South-West Finland has found a Moroccan man guilty on two counts of murder with terrorist intent and eight counts of attempted murder with terrorist intent, and sentenced him to life in prison. This marks the first time that a crime in Finland has been legally classified as terrorism.

The court declared that the attacks were carried out in a premeditated and exceptionally cruel manner.

The court in Turku, where Abderrahman Bouanane carried out the assault last summer, handed down its ruling on Friday afternoon. The defence may appeal the decision.

The 23-year-old admitted to killing two women and injuring eight other people on and near Turku’s main square in August. His trial proceedings began in April.

Psychological testing determined that he was sane at the time of the stabbings.

The Eid ceasefire with the Afghan Taliban is holding up so far since unarmed Taliban fighters are seen in public.
