Islamic State and al-Qaida threat is intense in Africa, with growing risks in Syria, UN experts say
The threat from Islamic State and al-Qaida extremists and their affiliates is most intense in parts of Africa, and risks are growing in Syria, which both groups view as a 'a strategic base for external operations,' U.N. experts said in a new report. Their report to the U.N. Security Council circulated Wednesday said West Africa 's al-Qaida-linked Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin group, known as JNIM, and East Africa 's al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab have continued to increase the territory under their control. The experts monitoring sanctions against the two groups said 'the organization's pivot towards parts of Africa continued" partly because of Islamic State losses in the Middle East due to counterterrorism pressures. There are also 'increasing concerns about foreign terrorist fighters returning to Central Asia and Afghanistan, aiming to undermine regional security,' they said. The Islamic State also continues to represent 'the most significant threat' to Europe and the Americas, the experts said, often by individuals radicalized via social media and encrypted messaging platforms by its Afghanistan-based Khorasan group. In the United States, the experts said several alleged terrorist attack plots were 'largely motivated by the Gaza and Israel conflict,' or by individuals radicalized by IS, also known as ISIL. They pointed to an American who pledged support to IS and drove into a crowd in New Orleans on Jan. 1, killing 14 people in the deadliest attack by al-Qaida or the Islamic State in the U.S. since 2016. In addition, they said, 'Authorities disrupted attacks, including an ISIL-inspired plot to conduct a mass shooting at a military base in Michigan,' and the IS Khorasan affiliate issued warnings of plots targeting Americans. In Africa's Sahel region, the experts said, JNIM expanded its area of operations, operating 'with relative freedom' in northern Mali and most of Burkina Faso. There was also a resurgence of activity by the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara, 'particularly along the Niger and Nigeria border, where the group was seeking to entrench itself.' 'JNIM reached a new level of operational capability to conduct complex attacks with drones, improvised explosive devices and large numbers of fighters against well-defended barracks,' the experts said. In East Africa, they said, 'al-Shabab maintained its resilience, intensifying operations in southern and central Somalia' and continuing its ties with Yemen's Houthi rebels. The two groups have reportedly exchanged weapons and the Houthis have trained al-Shabab fighters, they said. Syria, the experts said, remains 'in a volatile and precarious phase,' six months after the ouster of President Bashar Assad, with unnamed countries warning of growing risks posed by both IS and al-Qaida. 'Member states estimated that more than 5,000 foreign terrorist fighters were involved in the military operation in which Damascus was taken on Dec. 8,' the experts' 27-page report said. Syria's new interim President Ahmad Al-Sharaa led the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, once an al-Qaida affiliate that later split from it. He has promised that the country will transition to a system that includes Syria's mosaic of religious and ethnic groups under fair elections, but skeptics question whether that will actually happen. The experts expressed concern at the Syrian military's announcement of several senior appointments including 'prominent Syrian armed faction leaders' and six positions for foreigners — three with the rank of brigadier general and three with the rank of colonel. 'The ideological affiliation of many of these individuals was unknown, although several were likely to hold violent extremist views and external ambitions," the report said. As for financing, the experts said the HTS takeover in Syria was considered to pose financial problems for the Islamic State and likely to lead to a decline in its revenues. Salaries for Islamic State fighters were reduced to $50-$70 per month and $35 per family, 'lower than ever, and not paid regularly, suggesting financial difficulties,' said the experts, who did not give previous salaries or family payments. They said both al-Qaida and the Islamic State vary methods to obtain money according to locations and their ability to exploit resources, tax local communities, kidnap for ransom and exploit businesses. While the extremist groups predominantly move money through cash transfers and informal money transfer systems known as hawalas, the experts said the Islamic State has increasingly used female couriers and hawala systems where data is stored in the cloud to avoid detection, and 'safe drop boxes' where money is deposited at exchange offices and can only be retrieved with a password or code.

Urgent warning issued to Aussie travellers about worrying new scam: What you need to know
Emirates has issued an urgent warning to travellers and suspended all social media advertising after a wave of fraudulent ads began duping customers into handing over personal details and buying fake tickets. The fake adverts appearing on Facebook and Instagram mimic Emirates' official branding, use unauthorised trademarks, and send unsuspecting users to lookalike websites. In an email to customers, Emirates said it made the drastic move to protect people from the growing scam. 'This is an important notice to alert you regarding these deceptive ads that direct users to purchase fake tickets, share personal information, or click on malicious links,' the email read. 'They often impersonate the official Emirates website using lookalike links, branded visuals, and unauthorised trademarks. 'To safeguard our customers and uphold brand integrity, Emirates has temporarily suspended all advertising on social media channels.' The airline said it was 'actively collaborating' with platform providers to rapidly identify and remove fraudulent ads – sometimes within minutes – and urged travellers to stay vigilant and check any suspicious content carefully. It's not the first malicious scam to target the airline this year. In February, Emirates advised customers to be vigilant following a sophisticated fake membership offer to enrol in a discounted subscription to fly first class. The phishing scam, posing as an ad, was offering a too-good-to-be-true deal of 10 first-class flights anywhere in the world for a $300 annual membership. It was circulated extensively across social media. The fake advertisements were designed to lure unsuspecting travellers into handing over their personal details, all under the false promise of luxury travel at bargain-basement prices.

THREE people have been injured by falling rubble after a van crashed through a multi-storey car park wall in a UK city centre. Cops were called to reports of the collision at NCP car park on York Street, Leeds at around 4:15pm today. Shocking images show the motor protruding from the building with bricks collapsed on the vehicle's windscreen. Three pedestrians were rushed to hospital after being struck by the rubble but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "Police were called to the NCP car park on Harper Street, Leeds at 4.09pm today to a report a van had collided with an interior wall while driving on the first floor. "The collision caused damage to the building wall itself and led to the vehicle protruding outwards. "Occupants of the vehicle were taken to hospital for precautionary checks. "Three members of the public were also taken to hospital for assessment after being struck by rubble. None of the injuries are thought to be life threatening. "A police scene has been established and damage to the building is being assessed by colleagues from the fire service and structural engineers. The vehicle involved will be recovered." 1
