WW3 alert as Iran launches advanced ballistic
missile in terrifying show of military might
IRAN unveiled a new advanced ballistic missile
on Sunday highlighting a new feature that could
make it more versatile and deadly in a menacing
display of sabre-rattling as tensions with the
West soar.
Iraqi Nujaba militia: Countdown to attacks on
US forces has begun
Iraq’s pro-Iranian Harakat Hezbollah threatened
the US. In a tweet showing a US armored vehicle
at night the group claimed that “we are closer
than you think.” The leader of Nujaba, Akram
al-Kaabi has said that the countdown to
achieve Iraq’s “sovereignty” had begun,
a reference to removing US forces. He
showed an image of US Reaper and
Predator drone flight paths.
Blasts hit U.S. coalition base in Baghdad,
damage unknown
Several blasts hit a U.S.-led coalition military
base in Baghdad early on Sunday from an
apparent rocket attack, a U.S. military official
said. The official did not immediately say if
the attack caused any casualties or significant
damage.
More than 64,000 infected, GDP cuts, and
SARS parallels: Here's how bad the global
economy could get as the coronavirus
outbreak rages
Amid dire health concerns, there are also
economic ones. The outbreak has already
started a slowdown in China, the world's
second biggest economy. And since the
nation is the focal point of many crucially
important global supply chains, the strife
has quickly spread to other regions, including
the US. The situation has all put industries,
markets, and policymakers across the world
on edge as they scramble to gauge how big
of a slowdown the coronavirus could
ultimately cause for the global economy.
After Easter church bombings, a new threat
is rising for Sri Lanka's Christians
For many Christians, most of the persecution
comes from the local community and is led by
the Buddhist priest. Many women who come
to know the Lord are afraid to admit to their
husbands that they are going to church.
Some husbands, if they find out that their
wives have been to church or that the pastor
has visited their home for prayer, will beat
up their wives. Most of the women do not
open up about this. Even buying land for
church is difficult so some Christians have to
hold church gatherings in a rented house.
Islamist terror groups are set on 'destroying
Christianity', says Nigerian bishop
Bishop Kukah called on Christians to respond
to the violence with peace. He said: "Are we
angry? Yes, we are. Are we sad? Of course,
we are. Are we tempted to vengeance?
Indeed, we are. Do we feel betrayed? You
bet. Do we know what to do? Definitely. Are
we in a war? Yes. "But what would Christ have
us do? The only way He has pointed out to us
is the non-violent way. It is the road less
travelled, but it is the only way."
This Ohio county may need a second morgue
to handle the number of fentanyl overdoses
If overdose deaths don't slow down in Franklin
County, Ohio, a temporary morgue may be
needed to store the bodies. The county has
seen 23 overdose deaths from January 31 to
February 7, Dr. Anahi Ortiz, the county's
coroner, said in a statement on her Facebook
page. The next day, the county had five more.
Most of the deaths were likely due to fentanyl,
Ortiz said. Morgue techs are "constantly
working [and] don't take lunch" to keep up
with the overdose deaths, the county coroner
told CNN affiliate WSYX. If the overdose rate
stays at the same pace or worsens, the county
may have to bring in a temporary morgue for
storage of bodies, Ortiz said.
