Two trains full of military vehicles were expected to pull into Prescott, prompting the Canadian Army to issue a notice that the arrival of the equipment is part of the process in returning gear from a cancelled training exercise out west. With its notice, the army is trying to head off conspiracy theorists who have tried to link the ongoing transportation of military equipment to claims the federal government is about to call in the Canadian Forces because of novel coronavirus. “There is no cause for alarm (as) these movements by rail and the ensuing ground convoys from railheads to final destinations is how we normally move our vehicles over long distances for major exercises such as Ex Maple Resolve which as you know we recently decided to cancel,” said army spokesman Lt.-Col. Doug MacNair.

The US has stored nuclear bombs across Europe as a deterrent against Russia — including in Germany, where parliament voted in 2010 to withdraw the bombs. But for now, they are here to stay — and set to be modernized.

Boko Haram has launched its deadliest assault yet against troops in Chad. In a separate attack, the militant group killed at least 50 Nigerian soldiers in an ambush in eastern Borno state. Nearly 100 Chadian troops were killed in an attack by Boko Haram militants, President Idriss Deby Itno said on Tuesday. The seven-hour assault on an island army base was the deadliest yet by the extremist group against the armed forces in Chad. “We lost 92 of our soldiers, noncommissioned officers and officers,” in the attack overnight Sunday in Boma, Deby said. “It’s the first time we have lost so many men.” The attack took place on the Boma Peninsula, in Lac province, which borders Niger and Nigeria.

“The so-called occupation is the largest industry of lies in the entire world,” explains former Palestinian Authority terrorist-turned-peace activist Mohammed Masad in a new viral video. The video, released by the pro-Israel groups Canadians for Israel’s Legal Rights and Im Tirtzu, has already been viewed over 150,000 times in 24 hours. In the video, Masad contends that the “[occupation] is a business, a way to make money,” that is perpetuated by far-left organizations and the Palestinian Authority “so they can make more money by trafficking the blood” of Israelis and Palestinians. Masad was part of the infamous Fatah Black Panthers terror cell that carried out a number of terrorist attacks against Israel in the late 1980s and early 1990s…

Iran is not letting economic or human effects of the coronavirus stop it from funding Hezbollah, attacking US forces in Iraq… If the information of the National Council of Resistance of Iran is true, the death toll in the Islamic Republic is by far the highest in the world and many regime officials are among the victims. This doesn’t mean, however, that the regime is changing its behavior in handling the crisis nor in its foreign policies. Khamenei, for example, used his address to the Iranian nation to launch a fresh blistering attack on the United States and the Trump Administration, repeating his earlier conspiracy theory that the Corona outbreak in Iran was to blame on a biologic weapon launched by the US army. “Prophets had many enemies. We shouldn’t be surprised at having enemies. The most vicious enemy is the US government.

The Dissident is the latest effort at mythologizing Khashoggi, a former Saudi stooge, terror propagandist, bigot, and friend of Osama bin Laden, by Islamist interests operating out of Qatar and Turkey. Jamal Khashoggi was not a journalist: he was producing pro-Islamist and anti-Saudi propaganda for the Qatar Foundation, a pro-terror organization, which helped draft his articles and dictated their content. There are actual dissidents and actual journalists in prison in Islamist tyrannies like Turkey. But instead of telling their stories, The Dissident and its director, Bryan Fogel, turned to Turkey’s Islamist regime.

The coastal enclave is considered one of the worst-prepared places to deal with a severe outbreak of the coronavirus. UN agencies and human rights lawyers are calling for life-saving assistance before it’s too late. Where is the last place you would want to be in the event of an outbreak? Some would say Gaza. The coastal enclave on the eastern Mediterranean is considered one of the most densely-populated areas and UN officials have described its health care system as a crisis waiting to happen. Although public health authorities in the Gaza Strip have yet to announce a case of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), observers believe it’s only a matter of time as the pandemic sweeps across the globe.

Several firms in mainland China, Hong Kong and South Africa have been blacklisted by the Trump administration over their trade with Iran. The US also sanctioned five scientists for taking part in Iran’s nuclear program. US President Donald Trump’s administration sanctioned nine entities on Wednesday for “trading or transporting” oil with Iran. The blacklisted companies include three mainland China-based firms, three Hong Kong-based companies and one South African company. The blacklist was also extended to include two entities connected to the South African company, SPI International Proprietary Ltd. These companies were called out for trading in Iranian petrochemical products.

Bickering and divided, Afghan leaders are expected to stumble toward the peace table with the Taliban at some point soon. It’s an event that likely won’t register on officials’ radar in Ottawa — where COVID-19 and plunging oil prices have nailed decision-makers to their desks. It will, however, receive the rapt attention of tens of thousands of Canadians whose lives have been intertwined with — or irrecoverably altered by — a war that came within a whisker of defeating former prime minister Stephen Harper’s minority government. The sixth anniversary of the flag coming down on Canada’s military mission in the ruined south Asian country passed on Thursday without fanfare. It has been almost a decade now since Canadian combat operations in Kandahar ended and were handed over to U.S. forces.

Three Turkish men have been sentenced for the killing of Aylan Kurdi, the Syrian toddler whose drowning was the catalyst for the 2015-16 migrant crisis. Bodrum High Criminal Court, Mugla, sentenced Cebrail E., Ecevit Bulent G, and Ali Can S. to 125 years each for the crime of “killing with eventual intent”, according to a CNN, citing local state-run media.
