Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee condemn Nagaland killings
Hours after news of the killing of civilians by security forces came from Nagaland, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee requested a thorough investigation of the incident in the border area of Myanmar.
Late Saturday, at least six daily-paid workers were shot and killed by security forces during a counter-insurgency operation between Otin and Tiru villages in Meng County, causing tensions in Nagaland to increase. Allegedly, the vehicle was shot by military personnel who launched operations against the Yongang faction militants of the banned organization NSCN (K) in the area. After the shooting, angry villagers arrived at the scene and reportedly set up two vehicles belonging to the security forces on fire. The troops fired at the villagers to “control the situation”, killing at least 7 people and 1 security guard.
According to local residents, 9 villagers were injured in the second shooting. “#Nagaland comes with worrying news. I express my deep condolences to the families of the victims. I pray that the injured will recover soon. We must ensure that the incident is thoroughly investigated and that all victims receive justice!” Banerjee tweeted.
Before Mamata Banerjee tweeted, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the center because they killed these civilians in the Mon district of Nagaland. “This is heartbreaking. The Indian government must give a real answer. When civilians and security personnel are not safe on our own land, what is the Ministry of Interior doing?” Gandhi tweeted.

The Indian Army issued a statement saying it “deeply regretted” the killing of civilians and clarified that this was a counter-insurgency operation based on credible intelligence on the presence of militants in the Tiru area.
A statement issued by the Army’s 3rd Army Command said: “The highest level is investigating the cause of the unfortunate casualties and will take appropriate actions in accordance with the law.”
Federal Minister of the Interior Amit Shah expressed his grief over the “unfortunate incident” and stated that “the high-level SIT composed of the state governments will thoroughly investigate the incident to ensure justice for the families of the deceased.” Nagaran State Chief Minister Nefiu Rio also condemned the incident and promised to conduct a high-level investigation of the incident while calling for peace.

Who is Harun Abdul-Malik Yener? Florida man arrested over bomb threat to New York Stock Exchange
FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener for allegedly planning a bombing at the NYSE to “reset” the US government.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as part of a plan to “reset” or “reboot” the U.S. government. According to unsealed court documents, Yener faces charges of attempting to use an improvised explosive device (IED) against a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”
The investigation into Yener began in February when the FBI received a tip about his possession of bomb-making plans stored in a locked Coral Springs storage unit. Upon executing a search warrant, agents discovered “bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics” that could be used to construct explosives, per the criminal complaint.
Court documents reveal that Yener was not only active on YouTube, posting videos on making explosives and fireworks, but also had a history of making threats.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener wanted to ‘reset’ US government
Back in March, Yener admitted to undercover federal agents that he had experience in creating “rockets” and “bombs” and had previously sought to join a “domestic extremist group.” He also revealed that in 2015, he had considered travelling to Iraq to join ISIS but ultimately decided against it, doubting the group’s ability to accomplish “their objectives.”
Yener also attempted to join extremist groups such as the Boogaloo Bois and the Proud Boys but was reportedly denied membership due to his stated desire to “pursue martyrdom.”
Yener allegedly shared his plot to attack the NYSE with an undercover FBI agent, identifying November 18 as his intended date for the bombing. He wanted to “reboot” or “reset” US government through the “bombing”.
“There is one place that would be hella easy… the stock exchange, that would be a great hit. Tons of people would support it. They would see it and think, dude, this guy makes sense, they are [profanity] robbing us. So that’s perfect,” he told the undercover agent.
On November 12, Yener reportedly made several audio recordings he planned to send to NBC News following the attack. He expressed his vision of the explosion as being comparable to a nuclear event, saying, “I feel like Bin Laden.” He allegedly added that the detonation would ensure “[a]nything outside” the building “will be wiped out” and “anything inside there would be killed.”
Following his arrest, Yener made his first court appearance and remains in custody as he awaits trial.
