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.

Julian Assange , Reaches Plea Deal With , US Government.
'The Independent' reports that Wikileaks
founder Julian Assange has been released
from Belmarsh prison as part of a plea deal
with the United States Justice Department.
Assange will be flown out of the U.K. as part
of the deal before he makes a guilty plea deal
that could end the years-long legal battle.
On June 24, Assange boarded a flight at Stansted airport
ahead of a scheduled appearance later this week in the
Mariana Islands, a Western Pacific U.S. commonwealth.
The U.S. government has charged the
Wikileaks founder with conspiracy to obtain
and disclose national defense secrets.
The charges stem from one of the largest leaks of
classified information in U.S. history, disclosing tens of
thousands of reports regarding the war in Afghanistan.
The disclosure, which occurred between 2009 and
2011, included unfiltered diplomatic cables that
potentially endangered the safety of confidential sources. .
The leak also included significant
activity reports related to the war in Iraq
and information regarding Guantanamo Bay.
According to the latest DOJ filing, Assange is expected
to plead guilty and be sentenced to 62 months of time
already served, thus avoiding U.S. imprisonment. .
This is the result of a global campaign
that spanned grass-roots organizers,
press freedom campaigners,
legislators and leaders from
across the political spectrum,
all the way to the United Nations, Wikileaks statement, via X.
After more than five years in
a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours
a day, he will soon reunite with his
wife Stella Assange, and their children,
who have only known their
father from behind bars, Wikileaks statement, via X

Reports suggest Russia plans to arm Yemen's Houthi rebels with advanced anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles, potentially shifting Middle East power dynamics. This move could threaten Western interests, especially commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have increased attacks on vessels recently. Russia's closer ties with Iran and anti-Western alliances drive this cooperation. U.S. officials worry about escalating conflicts, particularly between Israel and Hezbollah, potentially deepening Iran-Russia military collaboration.
