[He] struggled for years with the violence he committed as part of a CIA-backed "Zero Unit" force in his home country, according to a longtime friend.

Lakanwal, a father of five, spent time serving with a CIA-associated "Zero Unit" toward the end of the decades-long war in Afghanistan - a paramilitary outfit that used locals to battle the Taliban. They were accused of using brutal tactics and being "death squads," according to some humanitarian groups.

The unit specialized in nighttime raids and covert operations, but has also been accused of meting out executions and terrorizing local villages.

Earlier today, Aladwan posted a picture of Gilsenan and attacking the GMC's council directly, saying that "This has never been about my medical registration. This is about the malicious 'israeli' jewish lobby using these proceedings to subvert British justice and legislate its hostile agenda. Gilsenan has chosen to become the instrument of this corruption."

Responding after the publication of the MPTS's decision, Aladwan said: "Let this decision stand as the definitive proof that there is no independent British medical regulation. The 'israeli' and jewish lobby decide who can and cannot practise medicine in Britain.

"This is not an end. It is the beginning of a far greater battle for the integrity of our institutions. My faith remains steadfast. My gratitude to every single person who has supported our just cause is boundless. What an honour it is to sacrifice for our people. Free Palestine and Britain from jewish supremacy."

That pipeline supplies Oregon with more than 90 percent of its transportation fuel, according to Kotek's office. The governor warned that travelers this week may see a slight uptick at the gas pump due to the cost of using tanker trucks and barges to bring fuel into the state, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

The governor said she does not expect there to be fuel shortages. An emergency declaration, made Monday, allows her to bring fuel into the state via other methods while repairs continue on the pipeline, KGW8 reports.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at gas station price tracking app GasBuddy, said earlier this month that the pipeline closure could have a slight impact on gasoline costs in Washington and Oregon.

But his updated analysis Monday said he didn't think the closure would affect gas prices any longer.

While the pipeline's closure may not be putting the hurt on people's wallets, it has caused concerns at the state's largest airport.

Airlines at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport have activated fuel contingency plans to make sure planes are kept topped off during the week of Thanksgiving. The Olympic Pipeline moves refined petroleum that includes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from Washington into Oregon.

The closure prompted Washington Governor Bob Ferguson to declare an emergency on November 19, allowing him to seek other avenues for providing fuel to SeaTac.

Portland International Airport said it was not anticipating any disruptions because it can bring in fuel by sea barges, unlike SeaTac, which is further inland.

Delta and Alaska Air have both used tankers to bring extra fuel to SeaTac.

"We continue to minimize the impacts of the Olympic Pipeline fuel leak. We do not expect disruption to our operations at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport through the Thanksgiving travel week," Alaska Airlines said in a statement.

On Friday, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington, demanded answers from BP about the status of the pipeline.

"With so much riding on the reliable transportation of fuel through your system, pipeline safety and operational integrity must be top priorities," Cantwell wrote to BP CEO Murray Auchincloss, Oregon Public Broadcasting reports.

BP provided a response, saying the "safety of personnel, the environment, and the community remain our highest priority."

Campbell's is now facing pressure on multiple fronts after comments from a secretly recorded company executive triggered both a lawsuit and a new investigation from Florida's top law enforcement office.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that the state has opened a consumer protection probe into the company, citing statements made in the viral audio and warning that any violation of Florida's lab-grown meat ban could lead to severe consequences.

On X, Uthmeier wrote, "We don't do the fake, lab-grown meat here in Florida. We'll enforce the law and shut down!"

He added that Campbell's would be required to respond to inquiries from his office after the recording was broadcast.

Portions of that recording featured a speaker identified as Campbell's Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, Martin Bally, discussing "bioengineered meat" and comparing chicken used in soup products to something "from a 3D printer."

Campbell's pushed back firmly. In a statement provided to Newsweek, James F. Regan, the company's director of external communications, said, "We use 100% real chicken in our soups. The chicken meat comes from long-trusted, USDA-approved U.S. suppliers and meets our high-quality standards. All of our soups are made with No Antibiotics Ever chicken meat. Any claims to the contrary are completely false."

Florida's response stems from legislation that took effect on July 1, 2024, making it the first state in the country to prohibit the manufacturing, sale, or distribution of cultivated meat — defined as any product derived from cultured animal cells.

The law, SB1084, classifies violations as second-degree misdemeanors. Businesses can face disciplinary actions, including potential license suspension, while individuals can face fines or up to 60 days in jail. Research into cultivated meat remains allowed, and the ban does not apply to plant-based alternatives.

This latest development adds to an already complex situation for Campbell's. The underlying recording at the center of the dispute was made by former employee Robert Garza, who worked remotely as a security analyst starting in September 2024.

According to a lawsuit he filed in Wayne County Circuit Court, Garza had a scheduled meeting with Bally regarding his salary. Garza said he began recording after sensing the conversation was veering off track — ultimately capturing more than an hour of commentary.

In the audio, the speaker, identified as Bally, uses profanity to describe Campbell's products, calling them "poor people," products, questioning their healthiness, and criticizing the ingredients.

What's not true about his statements? Campbell's positions its products as 'budget friendly', and a perusal of the ingredients on the average Campbell's label shows why they can do that.

He also referenced "bioengineered meat," which is what prompted the Florida probe. Other remarks allegedly included derogatory comments about Indian employees and admissions of using marijuana edibles before coming to work.

Garza reported the recording to his supervisor in January 2025. Twenty days later, he was terminated. His lawsuit alleges retaliation and claims Campbell's maintained a racially hostile work environment. His attorney emphasized that Garza had no prior disciplinary issues and had never been written up.

Campbell's previously stated, "If the recording is legitimate, the comments are unacceptable. They do not reflect our values and the culture of our company. Mr. Bally is temporarily on leave while we conduct an investigation."
