Two Men Jailed for Life Over Planned Attack on Manchester Jewish Community Two men have been sentenced to life in prison after plotting a deadly attack on the Jewish community in Manchester, which authorities described as potentially "the UK's most deadly terror attack." Plot Foiled by Undercover Operative Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, aimed to smuggle firearms into the UK as part of an Isis-inspired plot. They were intercepted by an undercover agent who played a crucial role in stopping the attack. Greater Manchester Police confirmed the operation prevented what could have been a large-scale tragedy. Saadaoui received a minimum prison term of 37 years, while Hussein was sentenced to at least 26 years behind bars. Attack Plan Revealed in Court During sentencing, Mr Justice Wall said the plan would have caused numerous deaths and severe injuries. The men intended to fire AK-47 rifles into an unarmed crowd during a march. Court documents revealed that they planned to carry spare magazines, potentially discharging 120 bullets before reloading. The judge emphasized that the attack could have killed people of all ages, including children. Weapons Acquisition and Online Activity Saadaoui, originally from Tunisia and living in Abram, Wigan, sought to import four AK-47 rifles, two handguns, and 900 rounds of ammunition. He had made a deposit for the weapons and believed he was coordinating with a like-minded extremist named Farouk, who was actually an undercover operative. He also considered obtaining firearms independently from Sweden and Eastern Europe. In addition, Saadaoui purchased an air weapon and visited a shooting range to further his plans. Authorities discovered him after he used ten different Facebook accounts, none under his own name, to spread extremist content online. Lessons and Implications Police said this case highlights the ongoing threat of domestic terrorism and the importance of undercover operations in preventing mass casualties.

Tumbler Ridge Mass Shooting Leaves Small Canadian Town in Deep Mourning A quiet mountain town in western Canada is struggling to come to terms with an unthinkable tragedy. In Tumbler Ridge, nine people, including six children, lost their lives in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent Canadian history. For years, residents believed serious violence could never reach their close knit community. That sense of safety has now been shattered. A Community That Felt Untouchable Tumbler Ridge is home to about 2,400 people. It sits along winding rural roads in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Many families work in the mining industry, which has shaped the town’s identity for decades. The area is also known for its natural beauty and its UNESCO recognised geopark, one of only five in Canada. Locals often left doors unlocked. Newcomers who took extra security measures were teased. Nothing like this had ever happened before. Now, that belief feels painfully naive. The Victims: Young Lives Cut Short Police confirmed the identities of the victims on Thursday. Among them was 12 year old Zoey Benoit. Loved ones described her as a brave and determined child. Another victim, 12 year old Kylie Smith, was remembered as the light of her family. She dreamed of attending art school in a big city one day. Flowers, teddy bears, and handwritten notes now line a memorial outside the local school. Each item reflects a life lost too soon. What Police Know So Far Investigators say 18 year old Jesse Van Rootselaar carried out the attack. Authorities found the suspect dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. Police stated that the suspect was born male and had begun transitioning to female about six years ago. Earlier that day, the suspect allegedly shot and killed their mother and step brother at a nearby residence. Officers later responded to reports of gunfire at the secondary school around 13:30 local time. The school has about 160 students. During the attack, dozens hid inside classrooms with their teachers. Seventeen year old Darian Quist said he and classmates barricaded themselves inside a mechanics classroom using metal tables. They stayed hidden for more than two hours before officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and SWAT teams escorted them to safety. Grief That Touches Everyone Parents gathered at a community centre as they waited for news about their children. For some, the wait ended in heartbreak. Local pastor Tracy Krauss said nearly everyone in town knows someone directly affected. Even families who did not lose a loved one feel shaken. The suspect’s mother and step brother were also among the victims. Community members say the surviving relatives are grieving as well. The suspect’s father, Justin Van Rootselaar, told CBC News that he was estranged from his child. He offered condolences to all families impacted by what he called a senseless act of violence. Support has poured in from across the country. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to visit the town to offer his support. A Town Forever Changed Residents say the hardest part is that this happened in a place where everyone knows each other. The victims were not strangers. They were classmates, neighbours, and family friends. In Tumbler Ridge, grief now connects every household. The town may be small, but the loss feels immeasurable.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Shared Confidential Trade Brief with Jeffrey Epstein, Files Indicate Newly reviewed documents show that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor forwarded a confidential government briefing to Jeffrey Epstein in December 2010. The file outlined potential investment opportunities in Afghanistan, including gold and uranium projects in Helmand province. The document was prepared by UK officials while Andrew served as a trade envoy. In an accompanying note, he described it as a confidential brief produced by the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Helmand. At the time, the UK was deeply involved in rebuilding Afghanistan both militarily and politically. What the Helmand Brief Contained The briefing gave a detailed overview of Helmand’s economy. It highlighted high value mineral deposits and pointed to the potential for low cost extraction. Resources listed in the document included marble, gold, iridium, uranium, thorium, as well as possible oil and gas reserves. Officials created the report specifically for Andrew during the same month he visited Helmand to meet British troops and local representatives. As trade envoy from 2001 to 2011, his role focused on promoting British business interests overseas. However, official guidance states that trade envoys must protect sensitive commercial and political information obtained during official visits. Other Reports Allegedly Shared Emails from the released files suggest that the Afghanistan briefing was not the only document shared. Andrew also appears to have sent official reports from trade visits to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. Shortly after sending those reports, he allegedly forwarded additional compressed files labeled Overseas bids. These zip files may have contained further commercial information linked to trade initiatives. In one message, Andrew indicated that he intended to circulate the Afghanistan briefing within his wider network, including contacts in Abu Dhabi. Political and Legal Reaction Sir Vince Cable, who served as business secretary at the time, described the reported sharing of the briefing as appalling behavior. He has called for greater transparency regarding Andrew’s tenure as trade envoy. He also stated that previous attempts to review official records related to Andrew’s trade role produced an empty file. According to Sir Vince, he discontinued Andrew’s envoy position in 2011 after early publicity surrounding Epstein emerged. Thames Valley Police are currently assessing whether the apparent sharing of official documents warrants further investigation. A diplomatic source noted that trade envoys sometimes share information with potential investors to support UK business interests. However, a former senior trade official emphasized that confidential government documents are not meant to be circulated outside official channels, especially to individuals who might use them for private commercial gain. Ongoing Scrutiny Over Epstein Links Andrew continues to face pressure over his association with Epstein. Recent document releases from the United States included controversial images and renewed calls for him to testify about his connections. He has previously denied any wrongdoing and rejected claims that he used his trade envoy position for personal benefit. Buckingham Palace has stated that the King would support police if they decide to pursue further inquiries.
