Trump Kill Bid: How a Series of Security Lapses, Failures Led to Near Fatal Shooting | Details

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection. This event recalls the assassination of Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of security measures for political candidates. #DonaldTrump #TrumpWeapon #AR15 #USGunLaws #USSecurityService #SecurityServiceChief #KimberlyCheatle #TrumpAssassinationAttempt #TrumpShot #DonaldTrumpShot #DonaldTrumpAssassination #AssassinationDonaldTrump #DonaldTrumpShotCampaign #DonaldTrumpEar #DonaldTrumpBullet #USNews #BreakingNews #InternationalNews #DonaldTrumpAssassination #biden #Trump #PoliticalViolence #NationalUnity #USPresident #breakingNews #Rehobothbeach #DonaldTrump #SecretService #StateAgencies ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~

ISIL’s Hidden Bombs Discovered in Mosul's Historic al-Nuri Mosque During Restoration Efforts

In a startling discovery, five large bombs were found concealed within the walls of the historic al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, a relic of ISIL’s (ISIS’s) brutal reign over the region. This finding highlights the ongoing challenges faced in clearing explosives and rebuilding war-torn areas of Iraq. The al-Nuri Mosque, renowned for its 12th-century leaning minaret, was devastated by ISIL in 2017 during the battle to liberate Mosul. The mosque has been a key focus of the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO’s restoration efforts since 2020. On Tuesday, UNESCO announced the discovery of five large-scale explosive devices hidden inside the southern wall of the Prayer Hall. #ISIL #Mosul #alNuriMosque #BombDiscovery #UNESCO #Restoration #Iraq #HistoricSite #ExplosiveDevices #ISILLegacy #MosulRecovery #MineClearance #WarTornAreas #CulturalHeritage #Reconstructionefforts ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~
