Shots fired outside Israeli consulate in Munich

"A gunman fired several shots outside the Israeli consulate in Munich, Germany, on Thursday, several outlets have reported. The suspect was reportedly subsequently killed by police officers and the city’s downtown area has been sealed off by law enforcement.

In a string of posts on X on Thursday, Munich police reported that the incident took place near the Munich Documentation Center, a museum that focuses on the history of the Nazi regime, and the Israeli consulate.
The authorities wrote that officers opened fire after seeing “a person who was apparently carrying a firearm.” The individual in question was “shot and wounded,” according to one of the tweets.
In a subsequent message, the police clarified that the “suspect was fatally injured during the exchange of fire.” He is said to have been armed with an “old long-barrel weapon.” RT

Syrian man arrested over plot to kill German soldiers

"Police in the German state of Bavaria have arrested a Syrian migrant for allegedly plotting to stab multiple soldiers to death. The arrest comes as Germany tightens its border security in a

crackdown on “Islamist terror groups.”
The 27-year-old was arrested and charged with plotting a “serious act of violence endangering the state,” prosecutors in Munich said in a statement to German media.
The suspect, whom prosecutors described as an “alleged follower of a radical Islamic ideology,” recently acquired two 40cm knives and planned to “attack Bundeswehr soldiers” in the Bavarian city of Hof, where they would be congregating near a military barracks on their lunch break, the statement said."

Military Court Sentences 3 Americans, 34 Others to Death

"A military court in Congo handed down death sentences Friday to 37 people, including three Americans, after convicting them on charges of taking part in a coup attempt.The defendants, who also included a Briton, Belgian, Canadian and several Congolese, can appeal the verdict on charges that included terrorism, murder and criminal association. Fourteen people were acquitted in the trial, which opened in June.

Six people were killed during the botched coup attempt led by the little-known opposition figure Christian Malanga in May that targeted the presidential palace and a close ally of President Felix Tshisekedi. Malanga was fatally shot while resisting arrest soon after live-streaming the attack on his social media, the Congolese army said. A website in Christian Malanga’s name said his family settled in Salt Lake City in the 1990s as part of a refugee-resettlement program. He participated in the U.S. Army Junior ROTC, it said. He returned to Congo to run for political office in 2011 but was arrested “on bogus charges” and held for several weeks by police officers who beat him, it said. 

In July, Marcel Malanga told the court he was not involved in planning the coup and that he and Thompson had been forced to join in while visiting his father. “Dad had threatened to kill us if we did not follow his orders,” Reuters quoted him as saying." WJ
