Self-proclaimed Hamas operative in US Air Force indicted over pipe bomb plot: ‘Been a terrorist since I was a kid’

A self-described Hamas operative who infiltrated the US Air Force and once boasted that he’s “been a terrorist since he’s been a kid” was hit with additional charges this week alongside two Pittsburgh women after the feds foiled an apparent terror plot involving a pair of pipe bombs.

Mohamad Hamad, 23, who has dual citizenship in the US and Lebanon, was already charged for defacing a synagogue was hit Tuesday with a nine-count superseding indictment along with Talya Lubit, 24, and Micaiah Collins, 22.

“Mohamad Hamad lied about his loyalty to the United States, among other false statements, in an attempt to obtain a Top-Secret security clearance,” Acting US Attorney Troy Rivetti said.

“During that time, he openly expressed support for Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Hamas. In addition to his previously charged role in defacing Jewish religious property, he also conspired with others named in this Superseding Indictment to manufacture and detonate destructive devices.”

Senior Russian General Assassinated In Car Blast Just Ahead Of Witkoff-Putin Meeting

A top Russian general has been assassinated in a car bombing in the Russian city of Balashikha on Friday, authorities have confirmed. The city lies less than 20 miles east of Moscow.

The deceased has been identified as Lt Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, who died when a “homemade” explosive device detonated under his Volkswagen Golf, according to TASS. Shrapnel ripped through the area and what appears to be a residential neighborhood.

Crucially news of the blast and killing was breaking just prior to President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

The two sides are trying to find a way forward toward Ukraine peace settlement, which President Zelensky has clearly not been on board with.

Witkoff was in his meeting with Putin at the Kremlin by early Friday afternoon, during which time news of Gen. Mokalik’s assassination, accompanied by shocking video of the event, was spreading around the world. Witkoff also met with senior Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev.

Bush-Era Swamp Creature Revealed To Be Key Figure In OKC Bombing Coverup

“As I have always said:  The only difference between the KGB and the FBI is that the KGB has never claimed to be a legitimate law enforcement agency.” ~ Jesse Trentadue

Readers may know the name John Ashcroft, attorney general under George W. Bush.

Well, good old Ashcroft was at the heart of a high profile cover-up: the Oklahoma City bombing, according to attorney Jesse Trentadue. The following comes from a court filing provided to ZeroHedge by Trentadue, attorney to OKC bombing accomplice Terry Nichols.

For context (per Jesse from kennethtrentadue.com): Jesse is the brother of Kenneth Michael Trentadue who died in August 1995, while incarcerated at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Following the death, the Department of Justice (DOJ) immediately deemed it a suicide, denied the medical examiner access to the cell where Kenneth Trentadue was killed, ordered the cell cleaned and painted, and repeatedly asked both the medical examiner and Kenneth Trentadue’s family to authorize the cremation of his body. The medical examiner could not legally authorize cremation and the family refused, demanding that Kenneth’s body be returned to them. When Trentadue’s body was returned to the family, they removed heavy makeup and discovered bruises all over his body, from head to foot. The bruises, cuts, and other wounds depicted an obvious beating and murder.

Now for the story…

While serving his prison sentence, Nichols attempted to spark an investigation into FBI involvement in the OKC bombing. He sent a letter stating that he could provide such information to the then head of the DOJ Ashcroft.

Ashcroft did not respond to the letter but immediately forbade the media from speaking to Nichols, which resulted in 60 Minutes cancelling a sit-down interview they had scheduled with Nichols, says Trentadue. Shortly thereafter, Nichols said he received a visit from a man presenting an offer from the DOJ to undo Nichols’ death sentence if he agreed to three conditions:

  • Take ownership of an anonymous warning the DOJ received saying the Murrah Building was bombed 30 minutes before it actually had been.
  • Implicate Nichols’ own brother in the bombing plot.
  • Reveal the location of the “Kinestick”, an explosive used in the bombing. Nichols mentioned having knowledge of an unused stache in his letter to Ashcroft. The existence of a remaining stache was not known at the time.

The existence of the mysterious call was independently corroborated in Stephen Jones’ book Others Unknown and even covered by ABC News.

Bomb Threats Against Shen Yun Dance and Music Shows Traced to CCP’s Huawei-Linked Institute

Taiwan’s Criminal Police Bureau has reportedly traced a recent wave of mass violence threats targeting Shen Yun Performing Arts shows to an institute affiliated with Chinese tech giant Huawei, according to a new report by Liberty Times.

The investigation comes in response to a surge of emailed threats over the past week, which targeted Shen Yun performances and several Taiwanese government institutions. The messages included bomb and shooting threats, warning of violence unless the performances were canceled. On a single day alone, authorities documented 13 such threats sent to public offices, train stations, and cultural venues across cities, including Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, and Keelung.

After launching a cross-agency task force, Taiwanese police say they traced the origin of the emails to the Huawei Xi’an Institute in Shaanxi Province, China. Though the threats appeared to have been routed through multiple international VPNs, digital forensics reportedly led investigators to a network connected to the Huawei facility. Officials noted that personnel tied to the institute may have been involved and did not rule out links to China’s notorious online influence operations, often dubbed the “Internet Army.”

The threatening emails contained politically charged language, including usernames referencing “8964,” an apparent nod to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. Investigators believe this suggests possible state-sponsored psychological operations targeting Taiwan’s social and cultural stability.

Shen Yun, a U.S.-based performing arts company affiliated with the Falun Gong spiritual movement, has long drawn the ire of Beijing due to its strong anti-Communist message and depictions of religious persecution in China. The troupe’s performances, which blend classical Chinese dance with original orchestral music, are frequently disrupted by Chinese interference campaigns abroad.

In response to the findings, Shen Yun spokesperson Leeshai Lemish, who has served as the company’s master of ceremonies since 2006, urged U.S. authorities to take the threats seriously.

AG Pam Bondi Will Seek 40 Years in Prison For Domestic Terrorist Who Firebombed Tesla Dealership and GOP’s New Mexico HQ

Attorney General Pam Bondi has revealed a suspected left-wing domestic terrorist is facing up to four decades behind bars.

The Justice Department announced on Monday that 40-year-old Jamison Wagner has been charged with carrying out two arson attacks in Albuquerque, New Mexico — one targeting a Tesla dealership and the other the Republican Party’s state headquarters.

According to the press release, the first incident occurred on February 9th at a Tesla dealership.

The second took place on March 30th at the Republican Party’s state headquarters, also located in Albuquerque.

Fortunately nobody was injured in either attack.

Investigators said they found graffiti on the Republican building that read “ICE=KKK,” referencing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

At the Tesla site, more graffiti was discovered — including anti-Tesla and anti-Elon Musk messages such as “Die Elon” and “Die Tesla Nazi.”

The fire at the Tesla dealership damaged two Model Y vehicles.

Evidence collected from Wagner’s home included a white cardboard box containing eight suspected fire-starting devices, cans of black and red spray paint, and a stencil with the phrase “ICE=KKK.”

Islamist Found Guilty of Hate Crime in Bomb Scare Plot Targeting Christian Churches Across the U.S.

A federal jury has found 45-year-old Zimnako Salah of Phoenix, Arizona, guilty on multiple counts after he targeted Christian churches across three states with hoax bomb threats, motivated purely by anti-Christian hatred.

Following an 11-day trial, the jury returned its verdict Thursday, concluding Salah planted a backpack at a Christian church in Roseville, California, in an attempt to simulate a bomb threat.

The device, strapped to a church toilet, was intended to terrorize innocent congregants and obstruct their right to worship.

The jury found that Salah specifically targeted the church because of the Christian faith of its members—legally designating this act as a hate crime.

From September to November 2023, Salah visited four churches across Arizona, California, and Colorado. At two of those houses of worship, he successfully planted suspicious backpacks that caused widespread panic among congregants.

At the other two locations, security thankfully intervened before he could finish his sinister plans.

More disturbingly, this wasn’t just a hoax — it was preparation for something far worse. According to testimony at trial, Salah was also assembling the real thing: a bomb capable of fitting inside one of those backpacks.

An FBI bomb technician seized components for an improvised explosive device (IED) in Salah’s rented storage unit. It wasn’t just intimidation — it was groundwork for domestic terrorism.

Limo from Vladimir Putin’s ‘fleet’ blown up in massive explosion

An Aurus limousine believed to be part of Vladimir Putin’s official car fleet exploded and caught fire in Moscow. Footage appears to show the £275,000 Aurus Senat ablaze on a street just north of Moscow’s FSB secret service Lubyanka headquarters.

The car is believed to be part of a fleet of vehicles belonging to the Kremlin’s Presidential Property Management Department. Images show the engine fire spreading to the interior of the limousine. It was not clear who was in the vehicle at the time of the incident.

Nor has there been any confirmation about what caused the sudden blaze on Sretenka Street.

Reports suggest that there were no injuries or fatalities as a result of the explosion and fire.

Putin, 72, routinely uses the Russian-made cars and has gifted the limousines, for example to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

The incident is likely to increase Kremlin paranoia that foreign agents are plotting to assassinate Putin.

Earlier this year, the Kremlin warned any attempt to assassinate the Russian leader would be met with a nuclear response.

‘Communist’ arrested for bombing of Vegas Tesla dealership that saw five EVs blown up

An alleged ‘Communist’ has been arrested in Las Vegas for setting several Tesla cars on fire using Molotov cocktails before firing rounds into the burning vehicles on March 18. 

Paul Hyon Kim, 36, was charged on Wednesday with 15 offenses, including arson and destroying or injuring personal property valued at $5,000 or more, police told a press conference the following day. 

Las Vegas Metro Police also said Kim’s social media indicated that he was a ‘potential Communist’ with ‘pro Palestine affiliations’, according to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin. 

Dramatic video footage captured the moment a row of Tesla cars exploded into flames at a dealership on 6260 West Badura Avenue near Jones Boulevard and Warm Springs Road. 

Police said the suspect, who was seen at the scene in all black, managed to completely burn out two of the cars while damaging three others. 

Video shows large sparks flying from the hood of one of the vehicles, as strong flames and thick black smoke consume the vehicles. 

Officers in Sin City also said that the word ‘resist’ had been painted on the door of the facility, with three gunshots also fired into the vehicles. 

Kim will be taken into federal custody later on Thursday, according to FBI special agent Spencer Evans.

Domestic Terror Attack Prevented As Bombs Found In Austin Tesla Dealership 

Police in Austin, Texas rushed to a Tesla dealership this morning when someone called in a bomb threat. They discovered multiple “incendiary devices” and called in the explosives unit.

Police say the devices were planted under vehicles inside the building and were designed to inflict large scale damage, but have not yet provided further details.

They issued a statement saying they had taken the devices away without incident.

It’s hardly surprising that this incident occurred in Austin, given the ratio of far left lunatics there.

The attempted attack comes after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that three individuals have been charged with serious offenses relating to firebombing attacks on Tesla dealerships and face up to 20 years in prison.

Radical ‘Free Palestine’ Extremist Targets Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s Sister with Bomb Threat

A deranged “Free Palestine” extremist attempted to terrorize the family of DEI U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett by threatening her sister with a mailbox bomb.

According to WYFF, citing the Charleston Police Department, authorities responded around 9:30 a.m. Monday after receiving an alarming bomb threat directed at Amanda Coney Williams.

The threat, sent via email to an employee of the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office late Sunday night, detailed an alleged homemade explosive device that was supposedly placed in Williams’ mailbox.

The email read:

“Using a 1×8-inch threaded galvanized pipe, end caps, a kitchen timer, some wires, metal clips and homemade black powder, I’ve constructed a pipe bomb which I recently placed in Amy Coney Barrett’s sister’s mailbox at her home in Charleston, SC.

The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened. Free Palestine!”
