In an early morning ambush, Islamic terrorists of the radical al-Shabaab group attacked an African Union military base in southern Somalia Friday, breaching the walls by exploding a car bomb and overrunning the base. According to the officials of the
British Prime Minister David Cameron has used a speech on extremism today to rail against the National Union of Students (NUS) for allying themselves with organisations like CAGE, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee group that described beheader Jihadi John as
The State Department has raised the Cuban flag over the new embassy in Washington, D.C. while the American embassy remains barren in Havana, though operating officially as an embassy. It released its first press release today as an official embassy and not the Office of American Interests. It will be run by interim head Jeffrey DeLaurentis as Congress gears up to oppose the appointment of any ambassador to the communist dictatorship so long as the Castro regime continues to flagrantly violate human rights.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed “Caliph” of the terrorist group Islamic State, has reportedly issued an edict limiting the kind of graphic material that may appear in ISIS propaganda, out of concern that Muslims who would otherwise be inclined to join the cult change their minds after being “disgusted” by extensive depictions of beheadings.
Questions are being asked about whether Chattanooga killer Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez should have been under surveillance by counterterrorist authorities before he launched his deadly attacks, killing four Marines and a Navy petty officer before he was brought down in a gun battle with police. Were there “red flags” that should have tipped off investigators that Abdulazeez was a potential terrorist threat?
It is worth noting that Islamic State does not have the monopoly on brutal jihadism. From time to time it is confronted by others with an equally medieval take on punishment, as a local IS commander caught by other jihadis fighting to control a strategically
PARIS (AP) — The remains of Jewish gas chamber victims subjected to Nazi anatomy experiments have been traced to a medical research facility in the western French city of Strasbourg.
(AFP) Japan’s Mitsubishi Materials made a landmark apology to US prisoners of war forced to work in its mines during World War II, seven decades after the conflict.
It was an execution designed to humiliate the local ISIS leader. And it seemed to be ripped right out of the screenplay for ‘Game of Thrones.’
On Fox & Friends Sunday Morning, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Breitbart National Security contributor and Major General Horner Chair of Military Theory at the Marine Corps University, confronted repeated statements by the Obama administration conflating jihadism with generic extremism, objecting that to defeat an enemy is to ultimately defeat their ideology.

Iran’s parliament, the Islamic Constituent Assembly, or Majlis, holds the power to revise or delay key parts of the nuclear deal with Iran–even as President Barack Obama and world powers seek a UN Security Council resolution before the U.S. Congress can review the deal.
On Breitbart News Sunday, Former New York Governor and 2016 GOP presidential candidate George Pataki believes that if President Barack Obama takes the Iran nuclear deal to the United Nations before Congress weighs in on it, Obama would violate his
Nigel Farage has slammed socialist French President Francois Hollande’s “desperate” bid for the revival of old plans for a ‘eurozone government’ as part of a plan to renew faith in the European project. Calling for further integration between member states as a
Addressing a crowd of U.S. Senators, think-tanks and European leaders, Nigel Farage brought to Washington the strength of feeling in siding with the Greeks “smashing molotov cocktails into the walls of their parliament” last week. “If I’d been a young
The recent killing of five Marines in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by a 24-year-old radicalized Islamist named Muhammed Youssef Abdulazeez is just another episode in global Islamic terrorism.
Well over 30 years after he was set free from being held hostage for 444 days by his Middle Eastern captors, Texan Rick Kupke is still saying the Iranian regime cannot be trusted
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko blamed Russia for shooting Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 down as relatives and officials gathered on the one year anniversary.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei went into a conspiracy-laden tirade on Saturday, blaming the “arrogant powers” for getting in the way of the Muslim world’s mission to unite and destroy Israel.
In sum: as a purely nuclear deal, the Iran agreement is very weak but debatable, depending on whether you believe it can be enforced. The non-nuclear part of the deal, however, concerning the arms and ballistic missile provisions, is a complete disaster.
Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz once promised “anywhere, anytime” access to Iran’s nuclear sites, known and unknown. In the end, he and the rest of the crack Obama administration negotiating team gave up on that pledge. Instead, they accepted a limited inspections system that will allow Iran to delay disputed inspections by at least 24 days. On Sunday, Moniz made the rounds of the talk shows, claiming that 24 days would be sufficient to detect whatever traces were left of nuclear activity. That is partially true, but does not actually solve the problem.
There are defensible reasons for such reluctance–such as the virtual certainty that such a decision would lead Iran to withdraw from a deal, and the fact that constant reversals of U.S. foreign policy from one administration to another undermine America’s international credibility. But neither of those were the reasons that Bush gave to an audience in Nevada.
The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC), an organization that exists to boost Jewish support for Democrats, has announced its “strong support” for the nuclear deal with Iran. Not “cautious support,” or even “support.” Strong support.
In the weeks before the Iran deal, a bipartisan group of policy experts–including several former Obama administration officials–issued an open letter stating that the negotiations “may fall short of meeting the administration’s own standard of a “good” agreement.” They laid out five criteria for a deal to meet, and White House spokesman Josh Earnest promised the deal would meet them. After the deal was done, the White House issued talking points along those lines, which Democrats are citing widely. Unfortunately, these talking points are false.
The United States moved to reassure its jittery allies in the Asia-Pacific that it has enough firepower to maintain stability in the region that has seen increased Chinese muscle-flexing in recent years.
After full body scanners have been in place for nearly a decade in airports across the country, the Transportation Security Administration is now being sued over its full body scanners by a coalition of groups saying that the TSA did not implement the required regulations to govern their use.
