An explosion kills the head of Russia's nuclear defense forces in Moscow

https://text.npr.org/g-s1-38555

KYIV — A top Russian military leader accused of using banned chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow on Tuesday. A source from Ukraine's security service confirmed to NPR that the security service was behind the killing.\
\
Lt. Col. Igor Kirillov had been in charge of the Russian military's nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces since 2017. Kirillov and one of his aides were killed after an explosive device planted in a scooter detonated.\
\
The killing took place near the entrance of a residential building in southeastern Moscow, where Russian state media said Kirillov lived. Video shared on Russian social media, which NPR could not independently verify, shows blasted windows and burned buildings at the site.

Moscow & Tehran are behind spike in terror plots, #MI5 spy chief says

The #UK is facing an uptick of #assassination attempts on its soil by #Russia and #Iran, the head of the domestic intelligence agency Ken McCallum said in a rare public speech given on Tuesday.

McCallum called the increase in assassination attempts "staggering," saying that the number of state-threat investigations undertaken by the MI5 had risen by 48% in the past year.

He added that Russia and Iran often recruited #criminals, from international drug traffickers to "low-level crooks," to carry out attacks on their behalf.

#Iran: The #assassination attempt against Afshin Ghasemi, an active human rights lawyer in #Tehran

Sina Yousefi, a lawyer, announced the assassination attempt of a lawyer by publishing pictures on social media and wrote:

Afshin Ghasemi, who is a prominent human rights lawyer and a member of the Central Bar Association, was attacked today at around five in the evening by armed and unknown people.

He had previously been threatened by unknown agents related to the case party for taking charge of a case in which there were accusations of #rape against women.

It is said that the assailants were three people armed with firearms and cold weapons, who rode in a "Persia" car (without license plate) in an almost busy area and assaulted this lawyer.

At the same time as the international day of lawyers at risk (2024) is dedicated to Iranian lawyers, the government of Iran does not take any security and legal measures to prevent the murder and assassination of lawyers, but puts their lives under threat with propaganda measures against lawyers.

سوقصد به جان افشین قاسمی، وکیل دادگستری

سینا یوسفی، وکیل دادگستری با انتشار تصاویری در شبکه اجتماعی از سوءقصد به جان یک وکیل خبر داد و نوشت:

افشین قاسمی وکیل دادگستری و عضو کانون وکلای مرکز امروز در حدود ساعت پنج عصر مورد سوقصد افراد مسلح و ناشناس قرار گرفت.

ایشان قبلاً بخاطر بر عهده گرفتن پرونده‌ای که در آن اتهامات #تجاوز به زنان وجود داشت، مورد تهدید از سوی عوامل ناشناس و مرتبط با طرف پرونده قرار گرفته بود.

گفته می‌شود ضاربین سه نفر فرد مسلح به سلاح گرم و سرد بودند که سوار بر خودروی پرشیا (بدون پلاک) در یک منطقه تقریبا پر رفت و آمد اقدام به ضرب و جرح این وکیل دادگستری نموده‌اند.

همزمان با اختصاص روز جهانی وکلای در معرض خطر (۲۰۲۴) به وکلای ایران، حکومت ایران هیچ اقدام تامینی و قانونی در راستای جلوگیری از قتل و سوقصد به وکلا انجام نمی‌دهد بلکه با اقدامات تبلیغی علیه وکلا، جان آنها را در معرض تهدید قرار می‌دهد.

2 Russians running GRU safe house in Greece outed as spies

Two Russian-born #Czech citizens ran a #hotel in northern #Greece that doubled as a #SafeHouse for an infamous unit of Russia's military intelligence agency (GRU) as it carried out #bombings and #poisonings across Europe, an investigation by The Insider has found.

Husband and wife Nikolay and Elena #Saposnikov ran the Villa Elena, a three-story hotel in #Frama, Halkidiki, which, according to the report, hosted members of the #Kremlin's "most grimly accomplished #assassination and #sabotage squad," Unit #29155, on a regular basis for the last 15 years.

NYT: Murder of Russian pilot in Spain bears similarities to earlier Moscow-linked killings

The pilot was shot six times in a parking garage in the city of #Villajoyosa on Feb. 13, according to the NYT. At the crime scene, law enforcement officers found shell casings from 9 mm #Makarov rounds, a weapon widely used in former Soviet countries, the newspaper reported.

Two men waited for Kuzminov in a car under the apartment building for several hours and ran over his body after shooting him, police officials said. They called the killers "clearly professionals," who quickly disappeared. The car was reportedly found burned miles away from the attack site.

It was a clear message. I will find you, I will kill you, I will run you over and humiliate you

Boeing Promotes Mysterious Employee Known Only As ‘The Panther’

ARLINGTON, VA—Lauding the grizzled figure who has a large scar running down his left cheek, Boeing has promoted a mysterious employee known only as “The Panther,” sources confirmed Thursday. “The entire Boeing family would like to extend a big congratulations to The Panther, who has recently proven that his loyalty to this company truly knows no bounds,” said Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun, who described The Panther’s role as “a little bit operations, a little bit corporate security, a little bit human resources.” “I understand that many Boeing employees may be surprised by the promotion of The Panther, given that they perhaps haven’t heard of or seen him before. Not being seen or heard is, in fact, part of The Panther’s job. But I assure you The Panther has been and will continue to be a significant presence at all of our offices and plants.” At press time, sources reported that a LinkedIn summary for The Panther simply read “I solve problems.”
