-- "Three US service members were killed and at least 25 others were wounded in a kamikaze drone attack on an outpost in Jordan near the Syrian border on Saturday night. The drone apparently struck the living quarters of the base. Hamas senior official Sami Abu Zuhri responded to the attack on Sunday saying 'the killing of three American soldiers is a message to the American administration.'" --

It was bound to happen eventually, as President Biden was warned repeatedly

In other 'Religion of Peace' news.  

COMPARE AND CONTRAST:

-- "Then-President Donald Trump ordered a strike that killed Iran’s top military official Qasem Soleimani in 2020 after a string of attacks from Iran." --

The struggle to modernise...

'Historic day' as Jordanian parliament repeals rape law. Provision that allows rapists to escape punishment if they marry their victims has been abolished by the (lower house only) parliament.

Such rape-marriage provisions continue to exist in Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine and Syria.
Don't pull out the party burkas just yet... it still has to get past the upper house of parliament.

Police in the southern Swedish province of Småland say at least four teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 17 were raped at the Emmaboda Festival over the weekend. Organisers announced the cancellation of the 2018 festival saying that despite their best efforts they were unable to stop the continued sex attacks.

According to reports, the number of sex attacks at Swedish music festivals has increased by as much as 1,000 per cent in 2016 and the trend has shown little sign of change.
