Colorado grocery store shooter named as Syrian American Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa
Mar. 24 - BOULDER, United States: The suspect accused of opening fire inside a crowded Colorado supermarket was a 21-year-old man who purchased an assault weapon less than a week earlier, authorities said Tuesday, a day after the attack that killed 10 people, including a police officer.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa bought the weapon on March 16, just six days before the attack at a King Soopers store in Boulder, according to an arrest affidavit. It was not immediately known where the gun was purchased.
Alissa, who is from the Denver suburb of Arvada, was booked into the county jail Tuesday on murder charges after being treated at a hospital. He was due to make a first court appearance Thursday.
Investigators have not established a motive, but they believe Alissa was the only shooter, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said.
A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting said the suspect’s family told investigators they believed Alissa was suffering some type of mental illness, including delusions. Relatives described times when Alissa told them people were following or chasing him, which they said may have contributed to the violence, the official said. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. more to learn

China, Russia, North Korea, Iran Build Ties as U.N. Friends Feud with U.S.
Mar. 23 - hina, Russia, North Korea and Iran have set out to build on their strategic partnerships as they pool efforts to counter what they see as an increasingly aggressive United States attempting to thwart their interests.
At the center of the push appears to be Washington's top strategic competitor, Beijing, whose delegation held its first face-to-face talks with officials from U.S. President Joe Biden's administration, resulting in a rare flare-up that may only serve to enflame their feud.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who was present alongside Chinese Communist Party Foreign Affairs Commission Director Yang Jiechi at the tense Alaska talks last Thursday, was set this Friday to head to Tehran to meet with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif, and President Hassan Rouhani.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said Tuesday that China and Iran planned to review plans to "strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries and exchange views on international and regional developments."
The two nations are part of the 2015 multilateral nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an arrangement that offered Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbing its nuclear program. Former-President Donald Trump's 2018 decision to exit the accord and implement unilateral restrictions against Tehran pushed the nation to ignore some of the treaty's caps on uranium enrichment, putting the deal in danger.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters Tuesday that the JCPOA was "at a critical juncture," but blamed Washington for not moving first to lift sanctions, an action Tehran has said it would answer by reinstituting the nuclear limits.
"The urgent task is for the United States to return to the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue and lift the relevant sanctions as soon as possible," Hua said, "while Iran will resume compliance with the agreement, so as to jointly push the comprehensive agreement back on track."
She said Beijing would remain engaged in attempting to bring all sides to a consensus. continue to read

The Shadow Commander: Soleimani, the US, and Iran’s Global Ambitions
‘An excellent contribution to our knowledge of Iran and Soleimani.’ Kim Ghattas, author of Black Wave
When the US assassinated Qassem Soleimani in January 2020, he was one of the most powerful men in Iran. The military spearhead for Iranian foreign policy, he enacted the wishes of the country’s Supreme Leader, establishing the Islamic Republic as a major force in the Middle East. He masterminded interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, supporting Iran’s allies and campaigning against the Taliban, US forces, Israel and ISIS. But all this was a long way from where he began – on the margins of a country whose ruler was regarded as a friend of the West.
In this gripping account, Arash Azizi examines Soleimani’s life, regional influence and future ambitions. He breaks new ground through interviews with Iranians, Afghans, Iraqis and Syrians who knew Soleimani for years, including his personal driver, the aides who accompanied him to his Moscow meeting with Vladimir Putin, and his brother. Through Soleimani, Azizi reveals the true nature of Iran’s global ambitions, providing a rare insight into a country whose actions are much talked about but seldom understood. source from
