>Hundreds of terrorists will fan out to infiltrate western Europe and the U.S. to carry out attacks on a wider scale as Islamic State is defeated in Syria, FBI Director James Comey warned.

>“At some point there’s going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we’ve never seen before,” Comey said Wednesday in New York. “We saw the future of this threat in Brussels and Paris,” said the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, adding that future attacks will be on “an order of magnitude greater.”

When is Obama finally going to call this what it is: Anthrophobic animal extremism.

First the gator attack and now this. This will surely lead to the whole animal kingdom turning against us. And they're not even fighting fair. They're clearly targeting children. Fucking cowards.

I know the site is rough, this story also appears in right wing rags such as Jihad Watch and less rangy right wing papers like Breitbart and The Sun.

I have two points regarding this story:
1) it's only being reported by the right wing, most mainstream news sites are flat out ignoring the information that's been publicly released
2) The situation calls for action instead of either fear or compassion.

>OLYMPIA, Wash.—Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Monday filed a $100 million lawsuit against Comcast Corp. , saying the cable and internet giant deceived customers into paying tens of millions of dollars in fees for a “near-worthless” service protection plan.

>Mr. Ferguson, who filed the lawsuit in King County Superior Court, said at a news conference that in addition to its misleading service protection plan, Philadelphia-based Comcast committed more than 1.8 million violations of the state’s Consumer Protection Act by charging improper service call fees and using improper credit screening practices.

>“This case is a classic example of a big corporation systematically deceiving Washington state consumers and putting profits above those consumers,” said Mr. Ferguson.

>According to the lawsuit, Comcast misled 500,000 customers in Washington state by having them pay a $4.99 monthly fee to avoid being charged if a technician visited their home to fix an issue covered by the plan. But Mr. Ferguson said the company didn’t reveal that the plan didn’t cover repairs to wiring inside a wall. As part of the investigation, customers contacted Comcast numerous times. Mr. Ferguson said that 75 % of the time, Comcast representatives falsely told the customers that the plan covered all inside wiring.

>Khanyisile Ngobesi-Sibisi's car was full of blankets to donate to charity, but as she drove around a bend near the edge of this small town, a white car pulled up alongside her convoy.

>"She was following me from behind. I heard the first gunshot; not knowing my mother had been shot. Then I heard the second gunshot," says Zhamokhule, her 18-year-old son.
>Two gunmen shot Khanyisile eight times through the driver's side door and window, according to witnesses.
>"I can't explain the feeling I was having," Zhamokhule says. "I was shocked by disbelief that my mother had been shot."
>Zhamokhule applied pressure to his mother's multiple wounds, but to no avail; she died at the scene.

Scottish police have identified more than 500 victims or potential victims of online child sex abuse.

In the first national operation of its kind, 30 million images of abuse were uncovered and seventy-seven people charged.

The 390 charges in all include rape, grooming, sexual extortion and indecent communication.

“At least three cases we’ve seen offenders who have had over ten million images each of children on their computers and other devices,” said Detective Inspector Andy McWilliams, of Police Scotland.

Police say abusers have clear tactics.

“They will identify those that they think may be vulnerable for one reason or another, they will seek personal information which they will exploit, they will suggest the exchange of images and images that they send may not always be of themselves. And that may lead to a suggestion and an arrangement of a meeting where children can be abused,” explained Malcolm Graham, Assistant Chief Constable of Police Scotland.

>Voting rights activists scored legal victories in key presidential election states Friday, with the most important being a federal appeals court ruling that North Carolina’s Republican-led legislature enacted new voting restrictions in 2013 to intentionally blunt the growing clout of African American voters.

>The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit was an overwhelming victory for the Justice Department and civil rights groups. Election law experts consider North Carolina’s voter law one of the nation’s most far-reaching.

>“The new provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision” and “impose cures for problems that did not exist,” Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote for the panel. “Thus the asserted justifications cannot and do not conceal the State’s true motivation.”

>The svelte and snub nosed Dream Chaser will soon be shipped to the Mojave desert in California where it would begin a series of ground tests that would eventually culminate with a flight from an altitude of 2.5 miles high.

>To get to this point, however, has been a long road for its manufacturer, the Sierra Nevada Corp. The company had originally pursued a NASA contract to fly astronauts to the International Space Station. But it lost out to SpaceX and Boeing, and so it then turned its attention to another contract—one to fly cargo and supplies to the station.NASA’s next cargo delivery vehicle—a spunky little space plane that looks like it could be an offspring of the space shuttle—is getting ready to fly.

>A man wore a fairly memorable mask — a white and black one known for its use by the Anonymous group — when he robbed a 7-Eleven store in Montgomery County, as seen on surveillance video, police said.

>The convenience store is on Liberty Mill Road near Clopper Road in Germantown. Police this week put out a surveillance video and photo of the man in an attempt to identify him.

>The armed robbery happened around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. Police said a clerk was working in the store when a man came in. The man was armed with a handgun.

>He pointed it at the clerk and then “motioned with the gun toward the cash register,” according to police.

>In the video, the man is seen — dressed in all black and wearing the mask over his face — holding a gun as a clerk pulls out a register drawer of cash. The man grabs money and leaves the store. The amount he took is undisclosed.

>The mask has been seen in different settings, mostly protests, including by a group called Anonymous’s Project Chanology, which protests the Church of Scientology. Originally, the mask was meant to represent Guy Fawkes, who was part of the Gunpowder Plot — an effort to blow up the House of Lords in London in the 1600s.

>The robber in the Montgomery case is described as being in his mid-20s and standing about 5-feet-11-inches tall with a medium build, according to police. His race is not known.
