A new report from Spain’s National Intelligence Center warns that extremist elements from the Polisario Front have joined terrorist groups operating in the Sahel, including al-Qaeda and ISIS. The report, cited by Spanish media, highlights a growing threat to regional stability and European security. According to the intelligence assessment, several radicalized individuals from the Tindouf camps in Algeria now hold senior positions within jihadist networks, which view the Sahel as a fertile ground for recruitment and expansion. Some of these individuals reportedly participated in Spain’s “Holidays in Peace” program as children, an initiative allowing Sahrawi minors to spend summers with Spanish host families, giving them fluency in Spanish and familiarity with European society. Authorities fear this may facilitate future terror plots in Europe. The report identifies two main groups gaining ground: Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, which seeks to expand ...

Originally appeared on E! Online Ellen Pompeo may need to get her blood pressure checked after this recent airport experience. The Grey's Anatomy star revealed that she was recently detained by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) while trying to catch a flight—all because of a salty snack she was bringing on board. "I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy," she told Travel + Leisure in an interview published May 29. “They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in."

Is this a joke?" she recalled. "They said it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of th...

A man posing as a gardener to get close to a group in Boulder holding their weekly demonstration for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza planned to kill them all with Molotov cocktails, authorities said Monday. Video above: Officials provided an update during a news conference on Monday afternoon. Watch above But he had second thoughts and only threw two out of the 18 incendiary devices he had into the group of about 20 people, yelling “Free Palestine” and accidentally burning himself, police said. Twelve people were injured in the Sunday attack.

He didn’t carry out his full plan “because he got scared and had never hurt anyone before.” Mohamad Sabry Soliman, 45, planned the attack for more than a ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Non-stop violence in one off-campus housing area—that’s what University of South Carolina students say is causing them to raise safety concerns. This comes after a Saturday shooting killed one person at an apartment complex. Students tell WIS it’s becoming a norm—Blue and red lights flashing throughout their neighborhood at Redpoint Columbia Apartments located on Southern Drive between Bluff and Shop Roads. “You have students that don’t feel safe,” said resident Khalil Polly. Polly said he was home when shots rang out Saturday morning at Redpoint, two buildings down from him. The person who was killed in the shooting has not been identified yet, and Richland County Sheriff’s investigators are still searching for a suspect. The recent shooting is just one out of several other violent incidents students say they’ve continued to endure. “Things are just happening every week, and no one is really doing anything about it, so this keeps reoccurring,” ...
