TikTok Star Khaby Lame Detained in US for Visa Overstay

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, head of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), issued a chilling call for the assassination of prominent American figures, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and tech billionaire Elon Musk, according to US intelligence sources. In a 34-minute propaganda video titled "Inciting the Believers," al-Awlaki cited their pro-Israel positions as justification for revenge amid ongoing conflict in Gaza. Al-Awlaki urged Muslims in the US to carry out violent acts with no "red lines" against American targets, declaring, “Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans.” He also incited violence against Jews, saying, “Do not leave a single safe place for Jews,” a statement echoing rising antisemitic sentiments. AQAP, considered one of the most dangerous affiliates of the broader al-Qaida network, has garnered international attention for prior terror plots, including the notorious 2009 "underwear bomber" incident. The US State Department continues to classify AQAP as a foreign terrorist organization and is closely monitoring the latest threats.

A 27-year-old man from Florida, Travis Ray Thompson, has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of the first-degree murder of his girlfriend's two-year-old daughter, Jacklyn. The heinous act occurred on May 2, 2022, just days after Thompson’s breakup with the child’s mother, according to a report by People. Authorities reported that Jacklyn was brought to the emergency room in critical condition but could not be saved despite medical intervention. The Marion County Sheriff's Office received a call regarding child abuse shortly after the incident. Upon arrival, the mother found Jacklyn unresponsive, experiencing symptoms such as a distended abdomen and a weak pulse. An investigation revealed that the cause of death was severe traumatic injuries, including a severed spine and internal bleeding, suggesting Thompson applied significant force to the child's body. The Medical Examiner's Office stated the injuries were consistent with substantial bending beyond the child's natural range of motion.
