'From Paris with love' is written on missile before it's dropped on ISIS
A missile reading "From Paris, with love" has been sent to wreak havoc
on ISIS strongholds. This emotive image was taken of US Military planes
which
were ready to join strikes on the terrorists who have claimed
responsibility for Friday night's assault on the French capital.
The Paris terror attacks were, President Francoise Hollande told his
people, "an act of war". And swift retribution came soon afterwards, as
the French dropped 20 bombs on an ISIS stronghold in Raqqa, Syria, on Sunday night.
The unverified images of the missile said to be Syria-bound
were shared on social media, and said to be a memorial for the 129
killed on Friday.
The Hellfire missiles were written on by persons unknown,
but the act is in a tradition held by the US military since World War
Two.

Photos: Armed robbers who hide their gun inside a Loaf of bread arrested in Rivers state
A group of armed robbers that specialize in robbing people while
hiding their gun in a loaf of bread have been arrested by the Rivers
state Police command. The state police commissioner Musa Kimo shared the
photos on the state police command's Facebook wall. Press statement and
more photos from the commissioner's office after the cut...
I am
delighted to once again welcome you this morning to share with you and
by extension the general public about the activities of the Command in
the last few days. It would not be out of context for me to say that our
efforts in crime fighting in the State are yielding significant
results. This can be predicated in our sustained and improved response
time to distress calls.
While being mindful of your respective media time and space, its pertinent to highlight some of the breakthroughs the Command recorded within the period under review:-
FOILED KIDNAPPING: On 10/11/2015 at about 9:00 pm at Arazona off Peter Odili Road, Port Harcourt, a team of Policemen acting on a distress call that on Mr. Emmanuel Akujobi who has kidnapped by armed men operating in a Volkswagen Golf 3 saloon car. The team chased the suspected kidnappers thereby forcing them to abandon the victim, their operational vehicle and the victim’s Lexus Jeep registration No. ABJ 724 BC. One of the suspected kidnappers also got fatally wounded during shot out with policemen. This effort has no doubt confirmed that our response time to distress calls has greatly improved.
Similarly, one Austin Kalu ‘m’ 28 years who was kidnapped on 07/11/2015 at Rumudara was safely rescued on 13/11/2015 at Ogbakiri forest while one of the suspected kidnappers named Emenike Sunday was arrested and a locally made short gun and five live cartridges were recovered at the scene.
ARMED ROBBERY: On 01/11/2014 at about 5:03 am, Policemen on routine patrol along Ada George road, Port Harcourt, sighted a suspicious black Honda Civic with registration No. AHD 145 RX with three young male occupants and on approaching the vehicle the occupants opened fire on the policemen. Three of them got fatally wounded after a gun duel with the policemen while one AK 47 rifle, two magazines, 50 rounds of 7.62 live ammunition, a complete set of police uniform and a police bullet proof vest were recovered.
In a similar vein, the Command smashed a gang of armed robbers who specialized in trailing unsuspecting bank customers and rob them off their hard earned money soon after money withdrawal either through Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or from the banking hall. The duo of Hycinth Apasu and Akelachi Nwobike were on 06/11/2015 were arrested at their hiodeout at Emekuku, Port Harcourt and have confessed to be the gang that terrorizes bank customers around Azikwe and Olu-Obasanjo axis of Port Harcourt. Three suspected stolen vehicles were also recovered from them:
1. Toyota Corolla saloon car with registration No. ABC 664 ST
2. Toyota Lexus Jeep with registration No. FKJ 727 BQ
3 . Toyota Corolla saloon car with registration No. BRS 731 SM

Photos: Ugandan gay man set to be deported after failing to prove his sexuality
Kityo volunteers with a number of LGBT groups including Manchester’s Lesbian and Gay Foundation. He is also a member of a number of church groups including a fellowship for gay Christians. Dr Walker said in his letter:
"I would say he has a well-founded case for asylum here in the UK." Mr Kityo fears he could be killed if he is sent back to Uganda. "I’m very scared. I’m a gay man and in Manchester I am able to be who I am. I have made many friends here who accept me and love me. But I’m frightened that I will be killed if I am sent back to Uganda. It isn’t safe to be a gay man in Uganda." he told The Independent.
Mr Kityo arrived in the UK in 2011 on a student visa and claimed asylum the following year. He said his partner in Uganda had been jailed for being gay and a warrant had been issued for his arrest if he returned. But an immigration judge dismissed Mr Kityo’s claim on appeal in 2013 and said he did not believe he would face persecution. Solicitors acting on Mr Kityo’s behalf sent new submissions in September this year and asked for the case to be re-considered.
But Home Office officials said in their new decision letter: "Most of the people who have written the letters and statements appear to have known you only since 2014. This undermines your case for being an openly gay man." Mr Kityo was released from a deportation centre at Manchester Airport at the weekend after being told by the Home Office that it wanted to take a further look at his case.
His legal team are continuing to fight for him to remain in the UK. The Home Office said it could not comment on individual cases but added: "The Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration last year praised our guidance and training on handling sexual orientation claims, stating that it was clear and concise. "We worked closely with organisations such as Stonewall, the UK Lesbian and Gay Immigration Group and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to develop this training, which is now mandatory for our caseworkers."

See what this politician tweeted about ISIS - it ended his campaign
A candidate for the Minnesota legislature campaign ended
less than 24 hours after a tweet expressing an unpopular opinion about
terrorist organization Islamic State.
'ISIS isn't necessarily evil. It is made up of people doing what they
think is best for their community. Violence is not the answer, though.'
Dan Kimmel of Burnsville posted Saturday evening, when the world was still coming to grips with the Paris terrorist attacks that killed at least 129 people.
After a furious backlash against his 'tone-deaf' comments,
Kimmel said he 'deplored' ISIS's evil acts but later gave up on his
campaign because of the outrage.
In his followup tweet, the software developer said that he
did not defend the acts of Islamic State, who have claimed
responsibility for a series of shootings and suicide bombings in the
French capital that injured hundreds.
A letter announcing the end of his campaign said that the
original comments were in response to something said in the Democratic
debate on Saturday night.
The statement said that Kimmel condemns the 'cowardly and despicable' Paris attacks along with all other violence.
'I will do everything I can to help resolve the issue: most
likely the best thing for me to do is shut up. The tweet was stupid.
I’m sorry,' he said.

She’s spent months kicking herself for making the same mistake not once, not twice but three times. She even jokes with friends that if they gave out an award for worst taste in men, she’d clean up because she is a winner when it comes to picking losers," said a source.Right now, they say she only wants to focus on her children and her career. You can't give up on love!

Alabama Governor opposes relocation of Syrian refugeess to the state following Paris terror attacks
"After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. As your Governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way" Bentley wrote.Full Press Release
Governor Robert Bentley on Sunday announced he is refusing Syrian refugees relocating to Alabama.
“After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on
innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian
refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. As
your Governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the
citizens of Alabama in harm’s way,” Governor Robert Bentley said.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is working diligently with the
FBI, DHS and federal intelligence partners to monitor any possible
threats. Law enforcement presence has been increased at major gathering
events in Alabama to further insure the safety of citizens. To date,
there has been no credible intelligence of any terrorist threats in
Alabama.
Alabama currently has one U.S. State Department approved refugee
processing center in Mobile. There have been no Syrian refugees
relocated in Alabama to date, though neighboring states have processed a
number of refugees.
“The acts of terror committed over the weekend are a tragic reminder
to the world that evil exists and takes the form of terrorists who seek
to destroy the basic freedoms we will always fight to preserve. I will
not place Alabamians at even the slightest, possible risk of an attack
on our people. Please continue to join me in praying for those who have
suffered loss and for those who will never allow freedom to fade at the
hands of terrorists,” Governor Bentley added.
