FSB Thwarts Series of Attacks on Police Officers
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that it had thwarted a series of attacks on police officers in the Stavropol Territory, which were planned for May 9 by a group of minors supporting an international terrorist organization.
The Russian news agency TASS quoted the Russian intelligence service as saying in a statement: "Russian Federal Security Service officers, in cooperation with the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Interior, were able to prevent a series of terrorist crimes in the Stavropol Territory in southern Russia. During the security operation, nine local residents who supported an international terrorist organization were detained."
The statement indicated that one of the minors voluntarily joined the organization through social media in 2024 and later recruited eight other residents of the region, seven of whom were minors.
According to the statement, "On May 9 of this year, the criminals planned to attack police officers during the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War in one of the municipalities of the Stavropol Territory. However, they were unable to carry out their plans because security forces uncovered their plot and arrested them."
They are currently being investigated after being charged under Part 2 of Article 205.5 (organizing the activities of a terrorist organization and participating in the activities of such an organization) and Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 (assisting terrorist activity) of the Russian Criminal Code.
Russian Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko told TASS that the investigation established that one of the minors joined the ranks of a terrorist organization in 2024. He then "used persuasion to recruit a relative and seven of his peers between the ages of 14 and 16 to join this terrorist organization."

Via Leaked Recordings...Trump Threatens to Bomb Moscow and Beijing
Washington - Saba: Leaked audio recordings attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump, obtained by CNN, reveal that he threatened to bomb Moscow and Beijing prior to the last U.S. presidential election. In one of the private meetings held with major donors to his 2024 election campaign, Trump said: 'I told Putin: If you enter Ukraine, I will bomb Moscow heavily. I have no other choice,' noting that the Russian president 'didn't fully believe me — maybe 10 percent.' Trump also said he issued a similar warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping in the event of an attack on Taiwan, stating: 'I told him that the United States would bomb Beijing in response. He thought I was crazy, but we didn't have any problems.' According to CNN, which reported the recordings on Wednesday, Trump is heard speaking very candidly in front of top donors in New York and Florida, portraying himself as a strong candidate capable of deterring global adversaries — in contrast to what he described as the "weakness" of his successor, Joe Biden. The recordings also contain controversial remarks about pro-Palestinian demonstrations on U.S. college campuses. Trump said: 'Any student participating in protests — I would deport them. They made a big mistake.' When one donor expressed concern that some of these students could become part of the future ruling elite, Trump responded: 'If I win, we'll roll this movement back by 25 to 30 years.' Trump also pledged, if re-elected, to launch a large-scale deportation campaign targeting foreign students involved in the protests — echoing previous efforts by his administration to revoke student visas during his presidency.

The statement, issued on Tuesday, said: 'The frigate HMS Iron Duke, based in Plymouth, the patrol vessel HMS Tyne, based in Portsmouth, and Wildcat aircraft from 815 Naval Air Squadron were deployed in three separate operations in the North Sea and English Channel between July 1 and 8.'
