London Attack: The third terrorist, a Moroccan of Italian mother also signed

1:07 PM

British police have confirmed the name of the third London Bridge terrorist in an attack that ended Saturday with the trio gunned down by police at the Borough Market after killing seven people and wounding half a hundred. They are Youssef Zaghba, the son of an Italian and a Moroccan and born in Fez, recently employed in a restaurant in London.

Like his two comrades in the terrorist attack had been on the radar of the security forces. According to "IlCorriere della Sera", in March 2016 he was arrested in Bologna for attempting to travel to Syria. The Italian intelligence services then informed those of Morocco and the United Kingdom and included it in their antiterrorist files.

The other two London terrorists are 27-year-old Khuram Shazad Butt, with traces of being the ringleader of the group, and Rachid Redouane, 30, a Libyan-Moroccan resident of the Barking neighborhood in East London. Redounae had lived in Ireland, married there with a Londoner with whom he had a son, and carried Irish documentation at the time of the attack.

Butt's case has caused a major dust in the UK, because it had come to appear last year as one of the protagonists of a Channel 4 television documentary titled "The Jihadists of the Door Beside." Dressed in robes and uncovered, they displayed before the cameras a black flag like the Daesh in the London park of Rengent's Park. He was also reported to the police by a mother who accused him of attempting to proselytize Salafi with his son and by an acquaintance alarmed by his extremist ideas.

MI5 investigated it but let it run. It has even been revealed that last year she worked for a few months on the tube at Westminster station, located in the neuralgic area of British power, on foot of Parliament and very close to the Foreing Office and the residence of the prime minister.
In the three jihadist attacks that the UK has suffered in just ten weeks, the same police error has been repeated: terrorists were once monitored by security forces, but then ignored them. The Government alleges that 3,000 suspects are constantly being monitored in 500 investigations, but that there are 20,000 more individuals and the task is enormous. Interior recalls that since 2013 the police and the MI5 abort 18 terrorist attacks, five since the Westminster Bridge on March 22.

Terrorism is already polarizing the campaign. The mayor of London, Labor Muslim Sadiq Khan, has criticized this morning that the police stopped controlling Butt.

Bangladeshi women are being trafficked to Syria as sex slaves

9:32 PM

Militant Islamist fighters take part in a military parade in Syria's northern Raqqa province in this June 30, 2014, file photo. The Islamic State has set up departments to handle "war spoils," including slaves, and the exploitation of natural resources

According to Reuters, "scores" of young Bangladeshi women have been trafficked to Syria and forced into both domestic and sex work.

The news agency's report cited a senior Bangladeshi official from the Rapid Action Battalion, an elite police agency, who claimed that his unit came across about 45 cases last year involving women who had been taken to the war-ravaged Middle Eastern country, tricked, exploited and, in some cases, raped and abused.

Some 8 million Bangladeshis work overseas; a considerable number of them are employed as construction and domestic labor in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Many of the women taken to Syria -- and it's not clear from the report where in the country they have been trafficked -- likely migrated with the understanding that they had jobs lined up in Jordan, Lebanon or elsewhere, and from there were coerced into going to Syria.
Reuters has more:

"It started with one woman called Shahinoor who escaped from her captors in Syria. She called her mother who complained to us," Commander Khadaker Golam Sarowar of RAB-3 told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on Monday.
"Shahinoor was supposed to go to Lebanon. Instead she was taken to Dubai with five other women, and then on to Syria where she was sold to different people -- sometimes to work as a maid, sometimes for sex. She told us there were others."
Sarowar said the 34-year-old woman was "extremely sick and unable to move." Bangladeshi officials in Syria flew her to Dhaka where she is being treated for a kidney illness, he added.

Last week, local media reports in Bangladesh detailed raids carried out by the RAB on suspected human trafficking cells, though it's unclear whether the arrests made had any connection to the cases linked to Syria.
The miserable, five-year conflict in Syria has seen the rise of the jihadist Islamic State, which has carried out mass abductions of women, particularly in Iraq. Many of these women, including some teenage girls, have been forced into a widespread system of rape and enslavement by the militants.

Sunny Leone's Exclusive bikini revenge

10:48 PM

Here's the sunny side of Sunny Leone. The Bollywood star has humour and she proved it with a prank that she pulled with Milap Zaveri – the director of Sunny's upcoming film 'Mastizaade'.

The 'Mastizaade' star was made to wear a lot of bikini in the film and so Sunny avenged the director by gifting him t-shirts with bikinis on them on his birthday!
Milap and Sunny are apparently good friends who bonded over during the shooting of the film.
'Mastizaade' is a Bollywood sex comedy film starring Tushar Kapoor, Vir Das, Shaad Randhawa, Suresh Menon, Vivek Vaswani and Ritesh Deshmukh. The film is expected to release in January next year.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui with Sunny Leone

The last one year has seen the emergence of Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a formidable scene-stealer equally adept at holding his own with Salman Khan in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Varun Dhawan in Badlapur.

But playing the strong supporting parts is not enough for Nawaz. He wants to play the conventional hero and wants to do be cast opposite glamorous heroines. One filmmaker who seems quite sold on the idea is Salman’s brother Sohail. With superstar-bro Salman unable to spare dates in the near future, Sohail has turned to Nawaz and decided to cast him as a suave dapper nattily dressed urban hero.

So far Nawaz has excelled only in playing rebels from under-privileged classes and he doesn’t relish it. I remember Nawaz’s asli glee when he had been cast as a sophisticated investigative officer in Sujoy Ghosh’s Kahaani.

Now it’s time for an all-out attempt to change Nawaz’s image. Sohail’s film’s leading lady has to be “tall sexy and desirable”. Apparently Amy Jackson was approached. She begged off using dates as an excuse. The second choice as Nawaz’s leading lady is Sunny Leone.

Talk about odd pairs! But Sohail and Nawaz think it would work. Last heard Sunny who isn’t doing too well for herself as a leading lady, was “seriously considering” the offer. If Nawaz and Sunny come together we’d know for sure that the age of miracles is not over.

Pray For Paris

12:31 AM

Due to the devastating attacks we will not be trading for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your patience, our thoughts and prayers are with the families affected in Paris.

I am from Texas, USA

As a writer, my introductions are normally hard. I need a line that can introduce my body of words in a catchy, yet narrowed way. But for the first time ever, my introduction isn’t as arduous as I thought.
“I am from Texas, United States”
Lebanon is that tiny country that stands between Syria and Israel. We’re only 10,452 kilometers square, hence, hard to spot on a map.
To start off, we sincerely express our solidarity with Paris after yesterday’s terror attacks.
Everybody knows what happened in Paris and the death toll from the series of orchestrated attacks.
On the contrast, allow me to tell you what half of the world “doesn’t” know, or perhaps chooses to ignore.
Two suicide bombings took place yesterday in Southern Beirut. Forty individuals were killed and 200 were injured. Shops were damaged, families were killed.

We were left speechless. I watched the news of yesterday’s attacks in Beirut as if I was seeing a news program that keeps running on repeat. The insecurity we have constantly felt in Beirut has now returned stronger than ever. We thought that the series of bombings that were occurring in our country for the past six years finally came to an end. But they haven’t stopped.
Putting Paris’ attack and Beirut’s together leaves me with one startling question: How is the world reacting to each?

Opening Facebook shortly after yesterday’s events in Paris to see a safety check option for those residing in Paris left me tongue-tied.

Facebook also gave me the option of supporting France by changing my profile picture to its flag. Presidents from countries around the world went insane with tweets and posts about the attack in France.
But where do other nations that have been suffering for ages stand? Why are they forgotten? Why are people in the Middle East not having the chance to mark themselves safe when an attack or a bombing occurs? Why isn’t there an option of changing your profile picture to your country’s flag during an attack?
The world might claim that we’re used to it. Others believe that the Middle East is where “terror” lives. But we still go to our jobs—most of which are in the heart of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital. We still party hard, go out for dinners and hit pubs in Beirut. Although we are living in the midst of what people call “terror,” we’re living it courageously and pretty well.
Media coverage leads people to believe that the Middle East, especially Lebanon, is in a constant hazardous state. That’s why when an attack takes place, it’s “pretty normal.” The media describes the normal state of other countries as peaceful and violence free.
I want to remind you that all countries in the world are facing daily attacks and unfair deaths but we just don’t always know it. We don’t know about them because they don’t show them to us. Thus, when a big attack takes place, it therefore leaves people in shock and leaves us asking: How come such a peaceful country face this tragedy?

The truth is, there is peace in the Middle East as much as there is in Europe. But the media paints it differently.

It is about time to stop this duality that the media has created.
Mass media has shed the light on certain countries thoroughly demolishing others. It is not an attack against Paris. It is not an attack against Beirut. It is an attack against humanity. This is how we should see it. Everyday, somewhere on this vast earth, thousands are unfairly being killed. And still, we divide attacks as if peoples’ lives in Europe are more pronounced than peoples’ lives in the Middle East.
World leaders should understand that the innocent people who lost their souls in Paris are the same ones who are losing their souls every single day in any another country facing terror and violence. But no one is mourning them. No one is supporting them. This one single night attack in Paris has been a constant norm in Lebanon for the past 30 years. Who supported us? No one.
When will we understand that all lives on this earth count? Every country that faces a tragedy must have a “I am Safe” option on Facebook. Every soul that is being unfairly killed should earn a hashtag. People, politicians and especially the media shouldn’t be indifferent to any unfair death. We should mourn every human dying in an attack, no exception, no excuses.
Let’s pray for Beirut as much as we’re praying for Paris.
Let’s pray for the whole wide world, in fact. Let’s see each each other as equal human beings; not as different countries.
Let’s stop dualities. Let’s be one in our view on death.
