San Francisco: Police shot and killed suspect that rammed car into Chinese Consulate building

On 9th October, San Francisco police shot and killed a man who crashed his car into the Chinese Consulate. The police did not reveal the identity of the assailant. Some of the furniture in the lobby was destroyed after the crash, but no one got injured in the incident.

Videos of the incident went viral on social media, where a blue Honda car was seen inside the consulate lobby. Several people were also seen running away from the building. In a statement issued by the Chinese Consulate, they condemned the incident and said it seriously threatened the safety of their staff and others in the building. They added they have the right to find out who was responsible for the attack.

The Chinese foreign ministry has accused an unknown person of breaking into the consulate, aiming to harm people inside the building. The consulate has been temporarily shut after the attack. The Chinese authorities have asked the United States government to handle the situation appropriately.

According to CNN, an eyewitness, Sergii Molchanov, said the car rammed into the building’s main door and hit the wall just 2 meters away from him. The driver exited the car and shouted “Where is CCP?”, referring to the Chinese Communist Party.

The matter is under investigation, and the police have not released much information about the attack. According to a statement released by a spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department, when the officers arrived at the scene, they found the car inside the consulate lobby. They confronted the suspect, leading to the police opening fire at him. He was taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead.

US State Department is assisting the police in the investigation. As per reports, it is unclear how many people were there at the consulate when the incident happened.

Notably, San Francisco will be hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in November. Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to attend the event.

Khalistanis who attacked the Indian consulate walked free

While the suspect who rammed into the Chinese consulate was shot dead by the police, the pro-Khalistani elements that attacked the Indian consulate in San Francisco walked free. In July 2023, Khalistanis carried out an arson attack on the Indian consulate in San Francisco city. As per reports, the extremists set the building on fire between 1:30 AM and 2:30 AM. However, the damage was limited, and the staffers escaped unharmed. The San Francisco Fire Department quickly doused the fire.

In March 2023, Khalistan supporters also attacked the Indian consulate in San Francisco. This attack on the Indian consulate came shortly after an attack on the Indian High Commission in London by Khalistan supporters. The Khalistani attackers damaged the property at the consulate while waving their flags.

Days before Hamas launched a brutal attack on Israeli civilians, ISIS mouthpiece had called for the extermination of Jews and Xtians ‘enemies’

On 3rd October, just four days before Hamas unleashed a terrorist attack on Israel on 7th October killing several hundred, ISIS mouthpiece “Voice of Khurasan” published its 9th issue. On page 30 was a chapter titled “Legacy of Betrayal”, in which the terrorist publication displayed its outpouring of deeply ingrained hatred for Jews and Christians.

Calling the establishment of Israel bizarre, the article implied that the Jews and Christians colluded against Muslims in order to form the Jewish state. The article established a sinister historical narrative to incite against the land of Israel.

In the same sentence, the terrorist publication first decried the defeat of the Ottoman Empire and then said that the Ottoman Empire was devoid of Allah’s aid in defending themselves because they did not exactly conform to Shariah.

It stated, “The First World War was fought to destroy the Ottoman Empire which was the last
the obstacle in the way of allowing Jewish settlements in the blessed land of Palestine, although we don’t say that the Ottoman rule fully conformed to Shari’ah, since on many occasions we see the Ottomans indulging in shirk and innovations, and that was the reason they were devoid of Allah’s nusrah in defending the religion in the end.”

Moreover, the Islamic State mouthpiece hurled a conspiracy theory that the Jews and Christians collaborated to achieve “Dajjali – One World Order” against the “spread of Islam”.

It stated that the “neo-Zio-Crusaderist alliance never confined its objective within the limited geographical boundary of Israel, rather it has been devising a blueprint of the establishment of the so-called Greater Israel which would engulf the whole of the Middle East”.

The Palestine propaganda map was also published to peddle the narrative that Israel has been eating up land that supposedly was supposedly Palestinian land. The same map has been used by several terrorist-sympathising media groups like Al Jazeera and lobbyists like Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN).

The ISIS mouthpiece directly targeted the Abraham Accords at a time when Israel and Saudi Arabia were displaying signs of optimism towards normalising their ties. The timing and context of the terrorist mouthpiece evidently aimed to derail these very developments. The mouthpiece also hit out at Arab nationalism.

Notably, Saudi Arabia’s critical stand came as a setback to the process of normalisation of ties with Israel following the latter’s retaliation to the 7th October terrorist attack. Safe to say, the terrorist attack on Israel was planned well in advance and the mouthpiece signals the clear involvement of ISIS and Hezbollah too.

It called for open resistance against “infidels” in the name of Imaan (faith). “Do not take the Jews and Christians for your allies,” a highlighted graphic text in the article reads showing an image of an Israeli soldier in flames.

The terrorist group quoted from the Quran to warn Muslims not to form any alliances with Jews and Christians and not to believe them. The quote from the Quran reads as follows, “O you who have believed! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies. They are the allies of each other. And among you he who takes them for allies shall be regarded as one of them.”

In its concluding words, the ISIS document reads, “So, it is well understood what the Zio-Crusadarist West is trying to pursue in the Arab countries by subjecting Muslims to the shirk of Abraham Accords. Actually, they pursue nothing but removing the remnants of Muslims’ zeal for protecting their religion.”

It quoted from the Quran as following: “…they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners,” adding that “…and this plan of Allah the Almighty will – surely – make the Jews and the Christians remorse thinking about their years of tireless efforts for extinguishing the light of truth (Islam) in the end, for our beloved Prophet has given us the glad tiding of our overpowering the Jews, in his saying: “You will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, ‘O `Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'”

“They’re coming in. I’m hiding” was the last message from Jewish ‘peace activist’ now feared kidnapped by Hamas terrorists

“They’re coming in. I’m hiding” was the last message from Jewish ‘peace activist’ now feared kidnapped by Hamas terrorists

A Jewish ‘peace activist’ Vivian Silver is feared to have been kidnapped by the Hamas terrorists in the October 7 attack in Israel. According to reports, the 74-year-old journalist’s relatives and friends last spoke with her on Saturday, the day Hamas terrorists struck Israel, at 11 a.m. local time while she was in Israel. Since early that morning, she had been texting about missiles and gunshots outside her home in Kibbutz Be’eri, close to the Gaza border.

Vivian Silver is a Canadian-Israeli ‘peace activist’ who has spent nearly 50 years working in support of the Palestinians. She even went so far as to drive cancer-stricken Gaza residents to Jerusalem for treatment after meeting them at the border crossing. Now she is one of those who are feared to have been either killed or kidnapped by Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and taken to Gaza.

In her last messages to friends, Silver described the perilous scenario she was in as terrorists broke into her home. The last message from her included phrases like, “They’re coming in. I’m hiding behind the door of the closet,” leaving her friends deeply concerned.

A report by NBC News further stated that Silver’s friend Avital Brown had sent her a WhatsApp message on Saturday (October 7) morning and in less than a minute, Silver responded from her home in Kibbutz Be’eri.

“It’s absolute chaos here. Terrorists have infiltrated Be’eri. There is shooting and screaming,” she reportedly texted in Hebrew at 7:54 a.m. Brown replied immediately but never heard back from her, which also raised suspicions that she was either killed or abducted by the Hamas terrorists who invaded her house on Kibbutz Be’eri in Isreal.

Several media outlets reported that while she was on a call with her son Yonatan Zeigen, the violence outside her window grew worse and they had to end the connection.

“She wrote me that she had armed people inside her house. And then communication stopped,” Yonatan, her son, is leading efforts to find any information about her whereabouts told the media.

“We haven’t heard from my mum since Saturday. We have turned to her Bedouin colleagues and contacts in the Negev, but no one knows if she was in fact kidnapped to Gaza,” he added.

Meanwhile, CCTV footage has emerged showing heavily armed Hamas terrorists arriving in Kibbutz Be’eri in southern Israel on Saturday. Several local media outlets reported, citing the ZAKA search and rescue group that about 1000 bodies have been removed from Kibbutz Be’eri, however, the casualties are suspected to be higher.

Vivian Silver’s family is concerned that she could be one among the hundreds of hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Who is Vivian Silver, the Jewish ‘peace activist’ now feared kidnapped by Hamas terrorists

Originally from Winnipeg, Canada, Vivian Silver migrated to Israel in 1974. Silver moved to the kibbutz near the Gaza Strip with her late husband and two sons 33 years ago. The 74-year-old Jewish-Canadian ‘peace activist’ was abducted from her Kibbutz Be’eri home where she has spent decades in the peace movement workly closely with Gaza moderates.

Vivian Silver is associated with the group Women Wage Peace, which advocates for women’s active participation in Middle East diplomacy. She has also volunteered with an organisation that transports ill Palestinians from Gaza to Israeli hospitals.

The woman peace activist, who dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of Palestinians and was actively involved in humanitarian efforts to improve the lives of Palestinian women and children for several decades, has been either killed or abducted by Palestine’s Hamas terrorists.

Meanwhile, in response to the unprovoked terrorist attack by Hamas, Israel has escalated its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and imposed a blockade on the region, preventing the flow of essential supplies, including food and fuel.

This retaliation followed a violent incursion by Hamas terrorists who announced on October 9, Monday, that any death of Gaza civilians in Israeli air strikes would now result in the televised execution of hostages.

Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Military Wing of Hamas – Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Al Jazeera that they would execute hostages and broadcast it live for each bomb dropped on civilians in Gaza by Israel.

It is notable here that Gaza is one of the most densely populated regions in the world. Hamas has been notorious for hiding its terrorist operations and weapons deep in civilian areas, often using schoolchildren and families as human shields.

In response to the brutal terrorist attack on Israel that killed over 900 civilians and wounded over 2,500 others, Israel has declared war on Hamas and has been pounding the Gaza Strip with bombs for 48 hours. The US and other NATO nations have declared support for Israel.

Hundreds of Israelis and foreign nationals are believed to have been taken hostage by Hamas. Hamas has massacred civilians brutally after attacking a music festival, and family homes in Southern Israel. Social media posts have surfaced where Hamas terrorists are seen killing children, women, and the elderly. The exact number of hostages is unknown.

“People of India stand firmly with Israel”: PM Modi speaks with Netanyahu over Hamas terror attacks

Amid the fierce onslaught by Israeli forces on Gaza following the Haas terror attacks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday had a telephonic conversation with his counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and reaffirmed his support to the people of the country.

Taking to his official handle on X, PM Modi shared details of his conversation with Netanyahu, posting, “I thank Prime Minister @netanyahu for his phone call and providing an update on the ongoing situation. The people of India stand firmly with Israel in this difficult hour. India strongly and unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”

On Saturday, expressing solidarity with Israel in the wake of the deadly rocket strikes by Hamas, Prime Minister Modi said his thoughts and prayers, and those of his fellow countrymen, were with the innocent victims and their families.

“Deeply shocked by the news of terrorist attacks in Israel. Our thoughts and prayers are with the innocent victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour,” PM Modi posted on X.

Thanking PM Modi for his support, Israel’s Ambassador to India, Naor Gilon posted on X, “Thank you again PM @narendramodi-ji. Since we get SO MUCH support from our Indian brothers and sisters, I’m unfortunately unable to thank each and every one of you personally. Please accept this as my gratitude to all our friends.”

At least 900 Israelis have, so far, perished, in the Hamas attacks while over 2,616 were injured, according to latest reports.

In a war update shared by Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on X, the IDF said that about 30 hostages have been held by Hamas in Gaza in the ongoing conflict.

It also stated that about 4,500 rockets have been fired from Gaza on Israel after which the Israeli defence forces struck 1290 Hamas targets in Gaza.

The Israeli Air Force continues to extensively attack many targets of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip.

An IDF Spokesperson has confirmed that 123 soldiers have been killed in the fighting, and 50 families have been informed that a relative was kidnapped by Hamas.

As part of its retaliation against Hamas, Israel has mobilised 3,00,000 troops in the last 48 hours. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari informed about the mobilisation and said the IDF “has never mobilized so many reservists so quickly — 300,000 reservists in 48 hours.

“This is the largest mobilisation since the 1973 Yom Kippur War when Israel called up 400,000 reservists, Times of Israel reported.

The Israel Defense Forces said it had finally regained control over the border with the Gaza Strip, 72 hours after Hamas terrorists blew through sections of the barrier and launched an invasion that saw over 1,000 Israelis slaughtered or kidnapped.

On Monday Israeli Air Force aircraft attacked several targets of Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip. The aircraft attacked a building used by Hamas in investigations and an operational infrastructure located inside a mosque. In addition, an underground tunnel shaft of the terrorist organization and military infrastructures used by Hamas were also attacked.

Bihar: 13-year-old girl raped for months by madarsa teacher, accused Md Imtiyaz booked after victim gets hospitalised

On 8th October, the mother of a 13-year-old girl filed a complaint with the Sadar Thana Police in Saharsa, Bihar, against a madarsa teacher, Mohammad Imtiyaz, alias Chhuna. In her complaint, she accused Imtiyaz of repeatedly raping her daughter for three months.

As per reports, Imtiyaz threatened to harm her if she told anyone so the girl couldn’t confide in anyone. Her grandmother took her to the hospital when she developed a high fever. It was discovered at the hospital that the girl was pregnant. The girl’s life was in danger, so an abortion had to be performed. The police have arrested the accused, Mohammad Imtiyaz.

In the complaint, the victim’s mother explained that she and her husband lived in Delhi. They had left the girl at her grandmother’s house so she could attend the madarsa and continue her education. However, Imtiyaz sexually abused her for months.

The victim’s grandmother said, “Imtiaz from the madrasa was doing wrong things with my granddaughter. He would threaten her with violence if she ever spoke out, which is why she couldn’t tell anyone. She started experiencing abdominal pain and had a high fever, so she was prescribed medication. When she didn’t improve, we took her to a private hospital, where we found out that the madrasa Hafiz Mohammad Imtiyaz had been sexually abusing her. Doctors operated to remove the fetus to save the girl’s life.”

Sadar Thana Inspector Sudhakar Kumar said in a statement that as soon as police received the complaint, they took action. After an investigation, they arrested the accused madarsa teacher. He also stated that the girl was receiving treatment at the hospital.

‘I saw the worst you could possibly imagine’: Hamas terrorists live-stream brutal killing of Israeli woman, granddaughter narrates ordeal

Several blood-curdling videos of the brutal murders of innocent Israeli citizens and defence personnel by Hamas terrorists have been emerging eversince Palestine’s Islamist terror organisation launched an unprovoked attack on Israel on October 7. On Tuesday, October 10, reports emerged that the Hamas terrorists killed an Israeli elderly woman at her home and live-streamed the entire act through her personal Facebook account.

The incident came to the fore after the deceased woman’s granddaughter speaking in a video for Visegrad24, recounted the harrowing experience. The traumatized girl narrated how she saw the gut-wrenching video of the brutal murder on her grandmother’s Facebook account in which her grandmother was lying lifeless in a pool of blood, on the floor of her house.

In a video for Visegrad24, the girl said her aunt had called her mother and asked her to open Facebook.

“My mother could not open it as she was trembling. I opened it from my phone and I saw the worst you could possibly imagine. My grandmother was on the floor of her house being murdered. The entire floor was covered in blood with my grandma lying there,” the inconsolable girl said, adding that the terrorist took her private phone, filmed the act, and put it on her private Facebook wall.”

Video of dead German woman being paraded naked and spit on by Hamas terrorists emerged

Another disturbing visual that emerged was that of the naked and battered dead body of an unidentified woman who was being paraded by the Hamas terrorists in a pickup truck. The terrorists could be heard shouting the Islamic slogan ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ in these gruesome videos of the incident. In some videos that surfaced on social media, a murderous crowd of Hamas terrorists could be seen surrounding the vehicle, chanting slogans and spitting on the woman’s body. The woman being paraded in that video was identified as a German tourist named Shani Louk.

Meanwhile, in response to the unprovoked terrorist attack by Hamas, Israel has escalated its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and imposed a blockade on the region, preventing the flow of essential supplies, including food and fuel.

This retaliation followed a violent incursion by Hamas terrorists who announced on October 9, Monday, that any death of Gaza civilians in Israeli air strikes would now result in the televised execution of hostages.

AAP MP Raghav Chadha moves High Court to challenge trial court order directing him to vacate type VII bungalow in Delhi

AAP MP Raghav Chadha moves High Court to challenge trial court order directing him to vacate type VII bungalow in Delhi

On 10th October, Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, Raghav Chadha, moved to the Delhi High Court to challenge the trial court’s order directing him to vacate the bungalow. The trial court had upheld the Rajya Sabha Secretariat’s notice directing Chadha to vacate the type VII bungalow allotted to him.

The advocate appearing for AAP’s MP said that an eviction notice has been issued, and proceedings are going on. The plea was mentioned before Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula. The court has agreed to list the matter on 11th October.

Trial Court allowed Rajya Sabha Secretariat to take over Chadha’s house

On 5th October, a Delhi court lifted its previous stay order on the eviction of AAP MP Raghav Chadha from his government bungalow located in Lutyens Delhi. Additional District Judge Sudhanshu Kaushik ruled that Chadha is not entitled to a Type VII bungalow, which he currently occupies, allowing the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to take over the house. The court stated that Raghav Chadha had no vested right to continue living in the bungalow as it was only a privilege given to him as an MP.

After the order was passed, Chadha said, “It is unprecedented in more than 70 years of history of Rajya Sabha that a sitting Rajya Sabha member is sought to be removed from his duly allotted accommodation where he has been residing for a while and more than 4 years of his tenure as Rajya Sabha member are still remaining. The manner of the entire exercise leaves me with no option but to believe that these have been carried out at the dictates of the BJP to further their political motives and vested interest in order to scuttle and stifle the political criticism raised by the vocal parliamentarians like me.”

In September 2022, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha was allotted a Type VII bungalow at Pandara Road in Delhi. However, in March 2023, the Rajya Sabha Secretariat cancelled the allotment because it exceeded his entitlement as a first-time MP. He was subsequently allotted a different house.

Chadha had gone to the Patiala House Court against the order and obtained a stay on 18th April. The Rajya Sabha Secretariat later filed a plea objecting to the stay order, stating that it was passed without giving them a chance to be heard. The court listened to both sides and lifted the stay order on Friday. Chadha’s lawyer argued that the Rajya Sabha Secretariat did not fall under the definition of ‘government’ or ‘public officer’, but the court disagreed with this assertion.

Canada PM Justin Trudeau uses Israel crisis to whine against India to Jordan King, Jordan makes no mention of it in official statement

Canada PM Justin Trudeau uses Israel crisis to whine against India to Jordan King, Jordan makes no mention of it in official statement

After being snubbed by his allies, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tried to utilise the ongoing Israel-Hamas war to whine against India in front of other world leaders like the King of Jordan and the president of the UAE. Laughably, this time too, he got nothing but disappointment, as reportedly the official statement issued by Jordan, had no mention of the diplomatic dispute between India and Canada concerning the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Notably, India and Canada’s diplomatic relations are at an all-time low. The diplomatic tensions were spurred by Justin Trudeau’s unfounded allegations of New Delhi’s involvement in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

On Sunday, October 8, an official statement released by the Canadian Prime Minister’s office on Sunday also detailed the conversation Trudeau had with the UAE President. It read that Trudeau spoke with King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of Jordan on Sunday and he provided “an update on the situation between Canada and India, underscoring the importance of respecting the rule of law and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

Screenshot of the press statement released by the Canadian PM’s office

However, Jordan made it clear that it was not interested in interfering with the situation between Canada and India, as the readout released by King Abdullah II’s office did not even mention the diplomatic dispute between Canada and India following Trudeau’s baseless allegations of India’s involvement in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

It may be recalled that a report published in the Washington Post on September 19 said the Canadian Prime Minister sought the support of many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, to raise the India-Canada issue but was snubbed by everyone fearing diplomatic backlash from India.

The diplomatic situation between India and Canada

On 19th September, Canada’s PM Trudeau accused India of killing Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Canada expelled a senior Indian diplomat as a result of the allegations. The allegations against India opened a can of worms as the allied countries of Canada refused to issue a joint statement against India. Furthermore, India denied the allegations and expelled a Canadian diplomat in retaliation.

India has also stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens following the allegations and trade talks between India and Canada have halted after the allegations. It has been recently revealed by the Indian authorities that India has shared credible evidence with Canada about wanted criminals and terrorists living on its soil. India has repeatedly raised the issue of increasing Khalistani activities in Canada that were completely ignored. Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was seen in Canada giving speeches at the so-called referendum for Khalistan while Trudeau was attending G20 Summit in India.
