To me it's news that almost half of the 72 victims of Sunday's bloody attacks in Lahore were children!
That terrorists attack children in this way is appalling and should be recognised in all media.

According to the police chief Haider Ashraf was the majority of the dead Muslims. The goal of the terrorists were Christians.
"It was us who carried out the attack in Lahore as the Christians is our goal," said a spokesman for the terror group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar on the phone to AFP. The group is an offshoot of the Pakistani Taliban organization TTP.
The bomber blew himself up at the entrance to the Gulshan park, Allama Iqbal Town, just a few meters from the park's children's swings.

Many such reports like this has been published over the years, but the buffoons at the top still remain blind & dumb.

The man who brought jihad to Britain

These religious conservatives, being visibly Muslim, face prejudice from a non-Muslim population concerned about terrorists. But they pay a price for opposing the extremism in their midst. In all three cases the word "mafia" was used to describe those who had sought to intimidate them.

"Everyone who is working for a just, decent society should contribute in any way they can to tackle these issues," says one, "It might have been politically incorrect to take on the mosques but these things should be exposed."

Sad when children can't get a vaccine. :(

Pakistan polio: Seven killed in anti-vaccination attack

Seven Pakistani policemen, three of whom were guarding polio workers, have been killed in Karachi, officials say.

Eight gunmen on motorcycles fired at a group of three police guards and later at a van containing four officers, officials told the Pakistan Tribune.

Islamist militants oppose vaccination, saying it is a Western conspiracy to sterilise Pakistani children.

In January, 15 people were killed in a bomb attack on a vaccination centre in the south-western city of Quetta.

Why are US Special Forces around Northern Raqqa, Syria having the Kurdish YPJ patches on their uniform?
YPJ is an all-female Kurdish military organization!

Maybe.
But it's really offensive to the Turks and Erdogan.
Erdogan is holding most Kurds as terrorists and link this to PKK.
Turkey is a member of NATO so the signals from the US army is perhaps not the best.

What a mess...

At least 4 dead in shooting at Tel Aviv market

At least four people were killed in a shooting in central Tel Aviv Wednesday that police are describing as aimed against Israelis.

A Fox News producer in Jerusalem confirmed the death toll and said five others who were wounded are in severe condition.

The weapons used by the attackers included a "Karl Gustav improvised machine gun," Israeli police told Fox News???
"Karl Gustav" is a Swedish Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapon System (‎MAAWS)!

"Karl Gustaf" is manufacturated by the company Bofors that now are owned by the former car manufacturer SAAB.
The company Bofors was started by Alfred Nobel.
Yes. The very man with the Nobel Peace Price!

For more than 50 years, the Swedish RPG Carl-Gustaf are used around the world. It has been sold to more than 40 countries over the years.
It is named after the current King who was then two years old.

Sigh....

PS. I have trained with the Miniman that is quite like the Karl Gustaf.

From what I have found out, the weapons used in the attack bear little resemblance to the Karl Gustav 84mm MAAWS. They appear to be improvised machine guns made from old paintball guns chambered to fit 9mm parabellum rounds.

If you know the reason the Karl Gustav 84mm MAAWS is referenced when describing them, please enlighten me.

There are many media that tell you about the weapon used by the Palestinians not only Fox News.
Examples.
The Guardian.
Photographs released after the shootings showed one of the weapons used: what appeared to be a locally made “Carl Gustav” submachine gun, which has increasingly become a feature in Palestinian shooting attacks in recent months.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/08/tel-aviv-market-shooting-sarona-complex

https://technologysecurity.wordpress.com/2016/06/08/home-made-carl-gustav-gun-used-in-tel-aviv-killings-by-terrorists-dressed-as-ultra-orthodox-persons/
The gunmen reported used a home made version of the Carl Gustav gun.

They link Carl Gustav to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustav_recoilless_rifle but show these pictures instead.


Why refering to Carl Gustav when it's obviously not that type of weapon being used!
Is it just bad journalism or is it the fact of Swedens standpoint in the Palestinian-Israel conflict?

Better $$$$ than guns?

"I suggest to my Iraqi friend that, ultimately, this symbol of western consumerism could pose a much greater threat to Basra's religious reactionaries than the British military ever did. He thinks for a moment, then concurs. "This is the wave of the future," he says. "It can't be resisted.""
