Nigeria's secret police have thwarted a plot by militant Islamist group Boko Haram to launch attacks on the UK and US embassies in the capital Abuja, the country's Department of State Services (DSS) has said in a statement. The DSS says it has arrested five people who had planned terrorist attacks on the embassies, as well as other Western "interests," to take place on March 25 and 26.

The forces reportedly uncovered the plot as they dismantled an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL)-linked cell based in Benue State and Federal Capital Territory. The statement, signed by DSS official Tony Opuiyo, said: "The group had perfected plans to attack the UK and American Embassies and other western interests in Abuja."

Boko Haram, a terrorist organization based in northeast Nigeria, has led an eight-year insurgency in the country.

It received worldwide condemnation following the abduction of 276 schoolgirls from the Nigerian town of Chibok, Borno State, in April 2014. While some of those kidnapped later managed to escape, and 21 were released thanks to government negotiations, more than 200 remain missing.

Comment: Boko Haram is aligned with ISIS and has been behind more than an alleged 20,000 deaths in Nigeria.

Guantanamo Bay Prison suing Pentagon for cancer-causing chemicals

A group of military lawyers who work at the Guantanamo Bay prison are suing the Pentagon over work and housing areas with dangerous levels of known carcinogens. Over the 15 years they've worked at the site, at least seven people have been treated or have died from cancer.

In the lawsuit, they charge the US Navy with failing to properly investigate health hazards following reports of unusually high cancer rates at Camp Justice - the war court complex where legal teams work on the cases of alleged terror detainees, according to the McClatchy Washington Bureau.

The complaint cites the Navy's "unreasonable delay" in assessing known environmental hazards such as mercury and formaldehyde, and its "arbitrary and capricious determination that... personnel must live and work in the contaminated areas of Camp Justice before a proper investigation and appropriate remediation are completed."

Camp Justice, which houses the lawyers and their aides in trailers, is built upon a former airstrip that was a jet fuel dumping site and is surrounded by older buildings that contain asbestos.

A 2015 assessment found that "air samples tested positive for mercury and formaldehyde, and the soil samples tested positive for benzoapyrene - all carcinogenic substances," according to the filing.

Comment: The Pentagon doesn't care about you. Isn't that evident? In fact, keeping the legal department under wraps, in fear with the prospect of early demise, likely suits their agenda quite well. Less chance of someone with a conscience revealing an inconvenient truth or two. With the lawsuit, you are now the enemy and the Pentagon specializes in enemies.

Open letter from ex-U.S. intelligence officials: Trump should rethink Syria escalation

More than two dozen ex-U.S. intelligence officials urge President Trump to rethink his claims blaming the Syrian government for the chemical deaths in Idlib and to pull back from his dangerous escalation of tensions with Russia.
MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
Trump Should Rethink Syria Escalation
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)*

SUBJECT: Syria: Was It Really "A Chemical Weapons Attack"?

1 - We write to give you an unambiguous warning of the threat of armed hostilities with Russia - with the risk of escalation to nuclear war. The threat has grown after the cruise missile attack on Syria in retaliation for what you claimed was a "chemical weapons attack" on April 4 on Syrian civilians in southern Idlib Province.

2 - Our U.S. Army contacts in the area have told us this is not what happened. There was no Syrian "chemical weapons attack." Instead, a Syrian aircraft bombed an al-Qaeda-in-Syria ammunition depot that turned out to be full of noxious chemicals and a strong wind blew the chemical-laden cloud over a nearby village where many consequently died.

3 - This is what the Russians and Syrians have been saying and - more important - what they appear to believe happened.

White House "Intelligence Assessment" report is no-such-thing - shows support for al-Qaeda as 'new mujahedeen'

The Trump White House published three and a half pages of accusations against the governments of Syria and Russia. These are simple white pages with no header or footer, no date, no classification or declassification marks, no issuing agency and no signatures. It is indiscernible who has written them.

U.S. media call this a Declassified U.S. Report on Chemical Weapons Attack. It is no such thing.

It starts with "The United States is confident that the Syrian government conducted a chemical weapon attack, ..."

The U.S. "is confident", it does not "know", it does not have "proof" - it is just "confident".

The whole paper contains only seven paragraphs that are allegedly a "Summary of the U.S. intelligence community assessment" on the issue. The seven paragraphs are followed by eight(!) paragraphs that try to refute the Russian and Syrian statements on the issue. Some political fluff makes up the sorry rest.

MIT professor: White House claims on Syria chemical attack 'obviously false'

A professor who challenged the 2013 claims of a chemical attack in Syria is now questioning the Trump administration's narrative blaming the Assad government for the April 4 attack in the Idlib province town of Khan Shaykhun.

On Tuesday, the White House released a declassified intelligence brief accusing Syrian President Bashar Assad of ordering and organizing the attack, in which Syrian planes allegedly dropped chemical ordnance on civilians in the rebel-held town.

The report "contains absolutely no evidence that this attack was the result of a munition being dropped from an aircraft," wrote Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Professor Theodore Postol, who reviewed it and put together a 14-page assessment, which he provided to RT on Wednesday.

"I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Shaykhun," wrote Postol.

US failed to weaken Syrian armed forces by attacking Sha'irat base - Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Konashenkov

The Russian Defense Ministry slammed US claims of the "efficiency" of the strikes on a Syrian base on Wednesday, adding that Washington's attack failed to achieve its main objective, which was the destruction of the Syrian armed forces.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said that the claims of the "efficiency" of the strikes were made exclusively for ordinary Americans, but not professionals.

"The Pentagon's remarks on the alleged high efficiency of the mass missile attack on the Ash Sha'irat airbase were made for the American audience, not for professionals," Konashenkov said.

Konashenkov explained that all the targets were located on a narrow patch of territory and the targets were of a rather large size, which made them an easy target for strikes.

Comment: According to Konashenkov, Russian Armed Forces fired 128 missiles on terrorists positions in Syria and destroyed 74 targets.
"Russian Armed Forces fired 128 cruise missiles under counterterrorist operation in Syria. Their targets were the most 'sensitive' to the terrorists 74 facilities, spread out geographically and carefully camouflaged: the headquarters, the largest warehouses of weapons and material possessions, the accumulation of equipment," Konashenkov said, adding that all these targets were successfully struck, while the terrorists were eliminated.

Stockholm terror attack: Do they really think we are so stupid?

Stokholm truck attack
So let's get this straight shall we?

Donald Trump says there has been a terrorist attack in Sweden. No one in Sweden has any idea what he is talking about. This makes Trump look stupid.

Then a man drives a car into a crowd of pedestrians and tries to attack the UK parliament. Western governments immediately insist this was a terrorist attack. As the investigation proceeds it becomes clear that the attacker acted alone, and was not a member of a terrorist organization. This makes Trump and several other world leaders look stupid. But none of them withdraw their claims that this was a terrorist attack.

10 famous Trump "deplorables" who are likely furious with his turncoat on US foreign policy

Hillary Clinton infamously called Trump supporters a 'basket of deplorables'. Well the deplorables are jumping out of the basket. Some important, well-known Trump supporters and well-wishers from America and beyond are expressing their anger, disappointment and disgust with Trump's newly unveiled neo-con tendencies.

1. Vladimir Putin

Although he did not endorse Donald Trump, he has said that things have effectively gone from bad to worse after Trump's sudden shift from 'mission reconciliation' to 'mission regime change'. Putin had looked forward to improving relations with the US under Trump. Now those hopes appear to be dashed.

Putin recently said:
"It is possible to say that (Russia's) level of trust (in the US) at the working level, especially at the military level, hasn't become better; it has, in fact, eroded."

The White Helmets are now expert forensics and chemical weapons investigators

With each passing day the White Helmets expose themselves as the ISIS - Al Qaeda jihadist scam most readers of this site know them to be.

The Duran recently posted a bombshell study from the Swedish NGO Doctors for Human Rights (SWEDHR), that shows how the White Helmets murder babies, not save babies like Netflix and George Clooney would have you believe.

Now we can see the White Helmets pretend to handle deadly toxic sarin gas, which we are sure will sent to John McCain Labs Inc., where Assad and Russia will be found guilty of launching a chemical strike on "beautiful babies".

British scientists reportedly find sarin in Idlib chemical attack samples

British scientists have detected sarin or a sarin-like substance in samples taken from the site of an apparent chemical attack in Syria, UK Ambassador to UN Matthew Rycroft said at the UN Security Council on Wednesday.

"Chemical weapons scientists...have analyzed samples obtained from Khan Sheikhun. These have tested positive for the nerve agent sarin or a sarin-like substance," Rycroft said. "The United Kingdom therefore shares the US assessment that it is highly likely that the regime was responsible for a sarin attack on Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April."


Comment: One can't help but wonder how the scientists got the samples. Since the Idlib attack has all the hallmarks of a Western intelligence false flag, any samples obtained by those agencies would be immediately suspect.


On April 4, a chemical weapons incident in Syria's Idlib province claimed the lives of some 80 people and inflicted harm on an additional 200 civilians. The Syrian National Coalition of Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, as well as a number of Western states, accused the Syrian government troops of carrying out the attack, while Damascus refuted these allegations, with a Syrian army source telling Sputnik that the army did not possess chemical weapons.
