Heavily-armed special forces descended on the small Alpine community of Fuschl am See in Austria to arrest a 25-year-old Moroccan refugee, after being tipped off that he was planning a terrorist attack.

According to a statement released by the prosecutor, the suspect was plotting a "serious offence in the period between Christmas and New Year in Salzburg," the Local reports.

"The police were informed in recent months that unidentified men had discussed an alleged terrorist attack," officials said after Monday's dawn raid.

The police said "no materials clearly required for the execution of an attack" were found, but that "along with smaller amounts of drugs and cash in the amount of more than 8,000 euros several electronic devices were seized, which will be assessed."

Cargo jet in Colombia crashes in fireball
A cargo plane was in big trouble just after take-off from an airport in Colombia and a man's cellphone video captured it all.

As the plane nearly hit a dirt road and a tall fence, it sent up a cloud of dust and seconds later, the plane crashed in a fireball.

The Boeing 727 cargo plane had just taken off from the Colombian city of Puerto Carreno, bound for Bogota, but it was never able to get any lift.

Only one of the plane's six crew members, a flight technician, survived the crash and was rushed to a local hospital.

Aviation experts will examine the cause of the failed flight but said it's possible that the plane's cargo shifted as it took off and caused the crash.

Russia is cooperating with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), its president Craig Reedie, told RT. He said that how long Russia takes to be reinstated in the organisation is in the hands of the country.

In November, RT overheard the WADA president being told by the body's director general, Olivier Niggli, to give the impression that the agency isn't "desperate for them [Russia] to come back."

"I'm sorry. I don't fully accept your question," Reedie said after being asked to comment on the conversation.

Vienna to distribute 6,000 anti-rape pocket alarms to women for New Year's Eve

Austrian police will distribute pocket alarms to women on New Year's Eve in order to prevent a repeat of the mass sexual assaults that rocked Europe last year. The gadgets will emit a shrill sound to ward off potential offenders and draw police.

"It's a national campaign aimed primarily at women on New Year's Eve," Interior Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck said on Tuesday, as cited by AFP.

Around 6,000 pocket alarms will be distributed during the holidays in the Old Town of Vienna, the inner city, where major celebrations will be held, the spokesman said. It is not yet clear if other cities will receive such 'anti-rape' alarms on New Year's Eve.

The most striking case of sexual assault by refugees occurred in Cologne, Germany on New Year's Eve last year. A German Police report from November revealed the latest figures on the crimes committed on New Year's Eve: 881 sexual offences involving over 1,231 women. The victims were almost all young women.

Comment: The underlying programming here is that people, women in particular, are still in danger from refugee 'mass rape' attacks. The propaganda surrounding the Cologne sexual assaults is still being used to manipulate people. Remember, only 3 out of 58 suspects arrested for Cologne sexual assaults were refugees. (Most were actually immigrants.)

Cops Shoot and Kill Unarmed, Nonviolent Teen on Video — Will Face No Charges

In a devastating blow to justice, Fresno police Chief Jerry Dyer said earlier this month that the shooting of unarmed 19-year-old Dylan Noble was in accordance with department policy, but that the proper tactics were not used in the 14 seconds before the fourth and final shot was fired.

Neither of the Fresno officers, Raymond Camacho or Robert Chavez, will face any charges for the killing of Dylan Noble — nor will they even lose their jobs. They will simply attend extra training in an effort to prevent them from killing unarmed teenagers in the future.

According to the Fresnobee, Dyer said officers had no ill will or intent when they pulled Noble over. However, Dyer implied that some additional disciplinary action was taken against one or both officers. He said that state law - he cited Penal Code 832.7 - prohibits him from sharing "the specific details of corrective action taken against these officers."

Citing risks to public health and marine life, California's state attorney and the state Coastal Commission are suing the federal government over its recent conclusions that off-shore fracking has had no environmental impact.

"We must take every possible step to protect our precious coastline and ocean," said Attorney General Kamal Harris on Monday in a statement."The US Department of Interior's inadequate environmental assessment would open the door to practices like fracking that may pose a threat to the health and well-being of California communities."

The suit comes after an oil company, DCOR LLC, proposed the establishment of California's first offshore well in almost two years in the Santa Barbara Channel.

A spill from an Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) pipeline in North Dakota has been contained after leaking 4,200 barrels of oil. While the 176,400-gallon leak is nothing to sneeze at, it is only the sixth worst spill of the year.

Pipelines became a hot button issue in 2016 after the public awareness grew about the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's battle against ETP and the Dakotas Access Pipeline (DAPL), that tribal leaders believed would put their drinking water at risk of contamination from potential spills. Well, they weren't exactly off the mark with that concern.
