CTD Rawalpindi catches three terrorists carrying Adiala Jail map, weapons

Police conducted search operation around Adiala Jail, where Imran Khan is also imprisoned  The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of police Thursday said three alleged terrorists were collared and an Adiala Jail’s map, explosive devices and weapons were recovered from them. Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) Khalid Hamdani said police recovered weapons, ammunition and explosive devices including automatic weapons, a hand grenade and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from the terrorists’ possession. Following the arrest, police and other law enforcement agencies conducted a search operation around Adiala Jail, where former prime minister Imran Khan is also imprisoned. The CPO said the terrorists hailed from Afghanistan and further investigation from them was underway. Earlier on November 7, 2023, police found a suspicious bag laden with an explosive device near Adiala Road in Gorakhpur, Rawalpindi, just one kilometre away from the Adiala jail ahead of the hearing of the cipher case against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder. Law enforcement agencies have already expressed concern about the security of Khan as all of the case hearings are held under tight security inside the prisons. He was shifted to Adiala from Attock on September 26 amid tight security, a day after the Islamabad High Court’s order in this regard. An 18-vehicle convoy — including 15 vehicles of Islamabad police — two armoured vehicles and an ambulance had escorted Khan via motorway.

Oceans break high-temperature record in warmest February marked globally

Ocean temperatures hit a record high last month, which was also the warmest February on record globally, scientists in the European Union have said. The average global sea surface temperature stood at 21.06 degrees Celsius (69.91 degrees Fahrenheit) in February, surpassing the previous record of 20.98C (69.77F) set in August 2023, in a dataset that goes back to 1979, the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said on Thursday. Meanwhile, the average air temperature in February was 13.54C (56.4F), 1.77C (3.18F) warmer than the pre-industrial average for the month. It marked the ninth consecutive month that was the warmest on record for the respective month of the year. Earlier, January had also been recorded as the warmest first month of the year, surpassing the previous warmest January in 2020, as per C3S’s records going back to 1950. Last month, after scientists warned of the hottest January on record as the world continued a run of exceptional heat fuelled by climate change, C3S Deputy Director Samantha Burgess said, “Rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are the only way to stop global temperatures increasing.” The C3S scientists said while the El Nino climate pattern continued to weaken in the equatorial Pacific in February, marine air temperatures remained at an unusually high level. Marine scientists warned this week that a fourth global mass coral bleaching event is likely unfolding in the Southern Hemisphere, driven by warming waters and possibly the worst in the planet’s history. Si Corals bleach under heat stress, expelling the colourful, helpful algae that live in their tissues, leaving behind a pale skeleton. This makes them vulnerable to starvation and disease, and many die. This can lead to the collapse of fragile reef ecosystems, with coastlines left unprotected from erosion and storms and fisheries falling short. El Nino, borne out of warmer than usual surface waters in the Eastern Pacific, alongside human-caused climate change, is fuelling the extra heat. “What is more surprising is that sea surface temperatures are at record levels over regions far away from the centre of the El Nino action, such as the tropical Atlantic and Indian Ocean,” said climate scientist Richard Allan of the University of Reading. This, he said, pointed to the strong influence of rising greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. While the global average sea surface temperature record excludes the polar oceans, things are in bad shape there, too. Antarctic sea ice reached its annual minimum extent in February, registering its third-lowest extent on record at 28 percent below average.

Israel’s war on Gaza live: Hamas says Israel ‘thwarted’ truce attempts

White House seeks list of all upcoming Israel arms shipmentsThe White House has tasked the State Department and the Pentagon with compiling a roster of pending arms transfers to Israel, reports Axios, citing four US officials.The officials said the request was not an indication that Biden is considering suspending or conditioning Israeli weapons shipments in the near future. However, it does come as Biden faces growing scrutiny for his staunch backing of Israel — and amid US fears that Netanyahu cannot be deterred from a likely bloody invasion into Rafah.Earlier this week, over 30 Democrats in the House of Representatives penned a letter to Biden stating that Israel’s expected invasion of Rafah would likely disqualify it from US aid because Israel has not provided “credible assurances” it would respect international humanitarian law.Former US Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk, in comments to the Washington Post today, said: “If Israel launches an offensive in Rafah without adequately protecting the displaced civilian population, it may precipitate an unprecedented crisis in US-Israel relations, even involving arms supplies.”Click here to share on social media Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/3/7/israels-war-on-gaza-live-20-starve-to-death-in-gaza-more-feared-dead

Sudan war threatens ‘world’s largest hunger crisis’: WFP

The war in Sudan threatens to trigger “the world’s largest hunger crisis” a United Nations agency has warned. The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Wednesday that more than 25 million people scattered across Sudan, South Sudan, and Chad are “trapped in a spiral” of food insecurity. However, the brutal civil war shows no sign of easing after 10 months of fighting. The “relentless violence” leaves aid workers unable to access 90 percent of people facing “emergency levels of hunger,” the WFP added. Concluding a visit to South Sudan, WFP executive director Cindy McCain said, “Millions of lives and the peace and stability of an entire region are at stake”. Two decades after the world rallied to respond to famine in Darfur, the people of Sudan have been “forgotten”, she said. At crowded transit camps in South Sudan, where almost 600,000 people have fled from Sudan, “families arrive hungry and are met with more hunger,” said the WFP. One in five children crossing the border is malnourished, it added. Currently, only five percent of Sudan’s population “can afford a square meal a day,” the UN agency reported. ‘Breaking point’ Sudan’s brutal civil war between rival government factions erupted in April 2023. Pitching army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan against his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo, who now commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the conflict has killed tens of thousands, destroyed infrastructure and crippled Sudan’s economy. It has also uprooted more than eight million people. With two million forced from their homes before the fighting broke out, Sudan already hosts the world’s largest displacement crisis. Both the RSF and army have been accused of indiscriminate shelling of residential areas, targeting civilians and obstructing and commandeering essential aid. The WFP warned that the humanitarian response is at “breaking point” and will remain so unless the violence comes to a halt. “Ultimately, a cessation of hostilities and lasting peace is the only way to reverse course and prevent catastrophe,” it said.

Robbers kill university student in Karachi

Robbers on Monday night shot down a private university student in the Korangi area of Karachi when the latter resisted a robbery attempt. The rescue officials said the slain university student has been identified as Laraib and the mishap happened in Allah Wala Town locality. The victim’s father Muhammad Hussain said his son was writing a book and its data was saved in his cell phone for which he resisted the robbery attempt. He said the student went out of the house for the gym. The father apprised the media that Laraib was engaged and his marriage was scheduled to take place in 2025. Laraib’s brother Shahzaib said his brother was writing a book on Basic Accounting. Ruing over the police’s failure to cope with such happenings, he said unfortunately the law enforcement agencies had failed to stop dacoity incidents in the metropolis. Police said the victim was intercepted by two suspects while returning home from a gym. The suspect fired a bullet that hit the resident of Korangi area near his one eye, which turned out to be fatal. A 30-bore pistol’s empty bullet shell was found at the spot of the incident, said the police, adding that no mobile phone was found near the victim’s body. They said further investigation was underway. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Korangi Hassan Sardar said the young man possibly tried to catch the miscreants. He said they only fired once at the victim and bullet hit near his eye which claimed his life. The SSP said police were in contact with the relatives and soon they would arrest the murderer. He said they were gathering surveillance camera footages from nearby buildings. In a similar incident, a 21-year-old engineering student — Bilal Nasir — of the NED University of Engineering and Technology was shot dead in Karachi in December 2022. Bilal was gunned down within the limits of the Mobina Town Police Station when he offered resistance to two robbers who tried to snatch his mobile phone. Later, Additional Inspector General of Police Jawed Alam Odho on December 17, 2022, had appealed to the Karachiites not to resist robbers, while talking about the shooting incident that led to the death of the young man for resisting while being mugged.

Turkey detains 7 suspected of spying for Israel

Turkish police have detained seven people suspected of selling information to the Israeli spy agency Mossad. The suspects were taken into custody on Tuesday during simultaneous raids in Istanbul, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X. The detentions are the latest in a wave of such arrests in Turkey. The detainees are suspected of collecting data on individuals and companies in Turkey and selling it to the Israeli intelligence agency, Yerlikaya said. The raids were a joint operation with Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT). “We will never allow espionage activities to be carried out within the borders of our country. We will catch them one by one and bring them to justice,” Yerlikaya insisted. A video released by the Minister of the Interior showed police raiding homes in Istanbul and apparently seizing guns, drugs and electronic devices. It was not immediately known if any charges had been issued and the authorities provided no additional information. Israel did not immediately comment on the operation. Wave of arrests Last month, seven other people were arrested on similar grounds, while in early January, 34 people were detained by Turkish police on suspicion of spying for Israel. The suspects arrested in January have been accused of planning to carry out activities including reconnaissance and “pursuing, assaulting and kidnapping” foreign nationals living in Turkey. At the time, Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said most of the suspects were charged with committing “political or military espionage” on behalf of Israeli intelligence. The state-run Anadolu Agency, citing unnamed security officials, said those detained on Tuesday included a former civil servant currently working as a private detective, who was allegedly trained by Mossad in Belgrade, Serbia. He reportedly collected information on Middle Eastern companies and individuals, and placed tracking devices in vehicles of people targeted by Israeli intelligence. He received payments in cryptocurrency that did not appear in official records, MIT said. Following years of tension, Turkey and Israel normalised ties in 2022 and reappointed ambassadors. However, the resumed quickly deteriorated with the start of the Israel-Hamas war, with Ankara one of the strongest critics of Tel Aviv’s military campaign in Gaza. In December, the head of Israel’s Shin Bet security agency said that his organisation was prepared to target the Hamas group anywhere, including in Lebanon, Turkey and Qatar. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan quickly warned of “serious consequences” should Israel target anyone on Turkish soil.

Housemaid, 12, brutally ‘tortured with iron rods to death’ in Sargodha

Tragic Death of a Child Housemaid: Incident in Sargodha, Punjab Details of the Incident: In an appalling incident reported in Punjab’s Sargodha, a 12-year-old housemaid was subjected to brutal torture leading to her death. According to local authorities, the victim, identified as Ayesha, was employed by a feudal named Jawad Bhatti in Village 84 South, a suburb of Sargodha. Allegedly, Bhatti and his wife assaulted the child with iron rods and sticks, resulting in fatal injuries. Response from Law Enforcement: Following the tragic incident, the suspects contacted Ayesha’s family members and falsely claimed that she had been involved in an accident. Upon arrival, the family discovered the horrifying truth of the child’s torture and demise. Jawad Bhatti and his wife fled the scene, prompting law enforcement to register a murder case against them at the Laksian Police Station based on a complaint filed by the victim’s father. A search operation is underway to apprehend the suspects. Investigation and Legal Action: Authorities have revealed that Jawad Bhatti works as a toll plaza contractor. The police have taken custody of the maid’s body for post-mortem examination to gather evidence for the ongoing investigation. Government Response: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has taken notice of the incident and has instructed the inspector-general of police to submit a detailed report. She has stressed the importance of a thorough investigation and swift justice for the perpetrator, emphasizing that violence has no place in Punjab.
