Under a designation issued by the US Treasury, any assets the men - Saudi and Kuwaiti nationals - hold under US jurisdiction are frozen and Americans are “gen- erally prohibited from doing business with them”. Abdul Mohsen Abdallah Ibrahim Al-Sharekh, allegedly the head of Al- Qaeda operations in Syria, and Hamid Hamad Hamid Al-Ali were also both placed on a sanctions list by the United Nations Security Council on August 15. The Treasury’s move came in support of the UN action. “We are determined to stem the flow of funds to terrorists in Syria and Iraq who continue to commit violent acts and threaten US and allied interests in the region,” David Cohen, undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in a statement. Ali, a Kuwaiti citizen, is accused of raising tens of thousands of dol- lars to help the Al-Nusra Front buy weapons and supplies and also directed donors in Kuwait to support the group. The Treasury, saying he has called himself an “Al-Qaeda comman- do”, also alleges Ali raised money for Al-Qaeda and arranged travel for a number of foreign fighters to Syria. — AFP HONG KONG: Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec officials are seen at the signing ceremony of a major crude Shiite gunmen supply contract yesterday. — KUNA HONG KONG: State-run Kuwait Director Nasser Al-Mudhaf, who led ond-largest importer of crude oil and Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and the Kuwaiti side, said the successful petroleum products with fastest kill 70 at Iraq China’s Unipec signed a landmark conclusion of the agreement is impor- growth in oil demand, Mudhaf said deal yesterday that will almost double tant not only for KPC, but also for HH such a market is considered to be one Sunni mosque crude oil deliveries over a decade, the the Prime Minister of Kuwait Sheikh of the most strategic and promising biggest-ever contract in KPC’s history.

Forthcoming French Atlantic Ocean Missile Test Suspected as Hypersonic Weapon Debut - Report by Morgan Artvukhina So far, only Russia and China have developed working hypersonic weapons, which are nearly impossible to detect and intercept due to their extreme speed and maneuverability. However, several nations have programs to build their own, including the United States and France. After some unusual marine warnings were posted ahead of a French missile test, some experts are speculating it could signal an upcoming launch of France’s hypersonic missile, which was expected to make its debut sometime this year. Dutch researcher Marco Langbroek posted on Twitter on Sunday about several recent navigational warnings across the North Atlantic for the coming weeks that, when plotted out, didn’t resemble what he expected. “Navigational Warnings suggest that France will be test-firing an #ICBM from DGA Essais de Missiles near Biscarosse towards Bermuda between Apr 28-May 21,” he tweeted, noting that “Target area does not fit a simple ballistic trajectory.” “The dogleg shown is purely hypothetical and not very realistic, to be clear. Just to show the deviation from a simple ballistic trajectory,” he added. While three of the four zones outlined in the warning do follow a ballistic trajectory, marking out places where stages of the rocket are likely to fall back to Earth, the fourth and final no-go zone is significantly off-kilter, sitting well south of where it “should” fall if it were a normal ballistic missile.

  • Community Policing Strategies for the Buffalo Police Department……19 I
    1 2 INTRODUCTION: JUSTICE AND OPPORTUNITY As the nation strives to improve police-community relations, safeguard the lives of officers and residents, and reduce crime while respecting civil liberties, voices around the country – from President Obama to ordinary citizens – are calling for more community policing. The Buffalo Police Department (BPD) has taken important steps toward embracing community policing, such as hiring community police officers, providing all officers with some community policing training, working collaboratively with community groups like Buffalo Peacemakers, improving language access for refugees and immigrants, and creating a scholarship program to diversify its recruits. Drawing on examples from across the country, this report explores a wide variety of ways the BPD can build on this momentum and expand community policing in Buffalo. This report was created by the Partnership for the Public Good (PPG). PPG is a community- based think tank that does research, advocacy, and civic engagement for over 200 community organizations in Western New York. Each year, PPG’s partners vote on a Community Agenda – their top ten policy priorities for building a better Buffalo. In each of the past two years, PPG’s partners have prioritized the expansion of community policing in Buffalo. This report was created for the Justice and Opportunity Table of Open Buffalo. Open Buffalo is a community movement for social and economic justice. The Justice and Opportunity Table is a coalition of groups and individuals with a goal of reducing the overall rates of – and racial disparities within – arrests and incarceration. The Table seeks an improved relationship between police and community: a relationship that is built on respect, trust, confidence, oversight, and mutual benefit, and that better enables police to protect and serve communities of color in Erie County.
