Four Assailants Killed During Attempted Robbery in Brazil

SAO PAULO – Four suspects were killed Monday in a shootout with police officers during an attempted robbery in Brazil’s largest city of Sao Paulo, authorities said.

A group of as many as eight men was surprised by police as they prepared to detonate explosives to snatch automatic teller machines at a Banco do Brasil branch in the Jabarquara neighborhood, the municipal public safety office said.

The would-be robbers opened fire at the police and four suspects were killed in the exchange of shots.

The other suspects fled in three vehicles, police said.

There were no injuries among police officers, but an unidentified person was struck by one of the suspects’ vehicles and required hospitalization, media outlets said.

Police seized two rifles and three automatic pistols and the bomb squad removed and deactivated the explosives placed in the ATMs.

Using explosives to heist ATMs has become common in Sao Paulo in recent years.

Mr. Nisman accused Mrs. Kirchner of ordering intermediaries to secretly negotiate a deal with Tehran to offer immunity for Iranian suspects in exchange for Iranian oil. The prosecutor, who had worked on the case for a decade, was scheduled to appear at a congressional hearing on Monday to discuss the allegations, which Argentine officials have vigorously denied.

“The issue is very clear,” Mr. Nisman wrote in an email to The Wall Street Journal on Friday, declining to offer additional details about the case. “On Monday, in the Argentine Congress, I am going to explain it in detail in my exposition.”

Iranian Resistance condemns mysterious death of Argentina prosecutor

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) strongly condemns the suspicious death of the Argentinian prosecutor Alberto Nisman and offers its condolences to his relatives and friends.

In light of his prominence role on the investigation regarding the Iranian regime’s terrorism, the NCRI’s foreign affairs committee calls for launching an independent international investigation into the mysterious death of Mr Alberto Nisman and making public the relevant findings.

The Argentine prosecutor leading the probe into the 1994 terrorist bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires had warned about the Iranian regime's terrorism and had said that he had 'irrefutable proof' that killers from Tehran carried out the 1994 attack.

He told a Buenos Aires radio station earlier in June 2013: "I am certain that I have irrefutable proof. Any prosecutor who sat in my office would reach to the same conclusions because that's where the evidence leads.”

He also urged Interpol to 'take further measures in order to ensure the arrest of all eight defendants in the bombing with an international arrest warrant'.

Argentine courts have charged eight current and former senior Iranian regime officials over the bombing, including Ali Akbar Velayati. the current advisor to the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei; Mohsen Rezai, the current secretary of the Expediency Council and former IRGC commander; Ahmad Vahidi, former Defense Minister; Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former president of the clerical regime; Ali Fallahian, former Intelligence Minister; Mohsen Rabbani, former cultural attaché in the regime’s embassy in Argentina; and Ahmad Reza Asghari, the former third secretary in the regime’s embassy in Argentina.

Later it was revealed that Hassan Rouhani, the current president of the Iranian regime, had been on the special Iranian government committee that plotted the 1994 bombing, according to the investigation.

Iran - Barber shop closed " giving western haircut's " what ?

At least 30 shops, including photography shops, barber shops, and printing shops, were sealed in several cities in the Mazandaran Province (northern Iran) under the pretense that they have breached Islamic codes.

File photo: Police arrests a young man for 'improper haircut'

This suppressive measure was conducted in two stages in the cities of Amol, Babol and Qaemshahr on Saturday and Tuesday by the department that supervises public places in Mazandaran.

In the past, the Iranian regime’s ‘morality police’ shut down barber shops for reasons that included presenting “western hairstyles”.

In the recent years, many photographers, publishers and artists have been arrested and deprived of their jobs for using social networks such as Instagram and publishing their work on social networks.
Iranian police regularly carry out morality checks, arresting women and youth on the pretext of improper clothing and non-Islamic hairstyles.

The politically motivated crackdowns on women and youth in cities across Iran, along with public hangings, are aimed at increasing fear and intimidation in society to prevent public protests against the regime.

Muslim Immigrants Smash & Urinate on Virgin Mary Statue in Italy

Raymond Ibrahim reported:

 

A man was kneeling in prayer before the statue of the revered Madonna, with the photograph of a loved one in hand, in the small chapel of St. Barnabas in Perugia (Italy), when he was attacked by five “immigrants.”

The first thing they did was rip the photo from his hands.

Next they unleashed their hatred against the image of the Virgin Mary. They broke the statue to pieces and then urinated on it.

Don Scarda, pastor of St. Barnabas, said the event was led by five “foreigners.” By the time police arrived at the chapel, the unidentified attackers had already fled.

The incident has caused a stir among locals. Some have lambasted Pope Francis who is accused of appeasing immigrants—mostly Muslims—to wild extremes.Earlier he had said that “Migrants, through their own humanity, cultural values, expand the sense of human brotherhood.”

Although the Diocese condemned the act of sacrilege against the Madonna statue, it also followed the Pope’s lead by absolving Islam of any responsibility for what happened.
