Knife-wielding maniac breaks into Andrew Tate's Romania home and attacks construction worker — as influencer rips police
A knife-wielding maniac broke into influencer Andrew Tate's Romania home Wednesday and attacked a worker as the alleged sex trafficker ripped into the country's police force for not responding fast enough.
'A violent psychopath has been lurking the vicinity of my house recently,' Tate wrote on X Wednesday afternoon.
The controversial influencer said one of his construction workers was slashed in the arm by the attacker armed with a blade.

'The police are finally getting involved but it took him trying to kill a man before they took action,' he added.
The unidentified worker, who was near the compound's garage at the time of the home invasion, received medical attention.

The unidentified knife-wielder was questioned by police but released after giving a vague statement about 'noise' and a 'trivial conflict,' Romanian outlet Gândul reported.
Hours later, the alleged attacker returned to the compound where Tate resides with his younger brother Tristan, but was stopped by security guards.
The older Tate, 38, returned to social media to call out the local police, claiming that there was a lack of urgency to confront the 'men with machetes' at his home.

'The Romanian police will show up to my house fully armed to arrest my brother and I when the British foreign office told them to 'get us off the internet.' But they dont show up when men with machetes arrive with murderous intent,' Tate wrote on X.
Police arrested the attacker, who is believed to be a Ukrainian national, the outlet reported.

Tristan Tate confirmed the break-in and the attacker's nationality.
'He came back to my house. I now can confirm this Ukranian national is not a neighbour of mine but his 'loud construction noises' excuse worked and he was still free until 5 minutes ago. He made a second attempt at whatever he was trying and was violently arrested,' the younger Tate wrote on X.
The Tate brothers face a slew of charges including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking in both Romania and the United Kingdom.

Kenyan court sentences men for aiding al-Shabab militants in 2019 hotel attack
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A court in Kenya on Thursday sentenced two men to 30 years in prison for facilitating the 2019 attack on a Nairobi luxury hotel complex that left 21 people dead. The court heard that Hussein Mohamed Abdille Ali and Mohamed Abdi Ali, both Kenyans, sent money and helped acquire fake identification documents for the militants, who died during the attack on the DusitD2 complex. Al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab, based in neighboring Somalia, claimed responsibility for the daytime attack, one of its deadliest inside Kenya. It occurred six years after an attack killed 67 people at Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Mall and four years after an attack killed 147 students at Garissa University in northern Kenya. Al-Shabab has vowed retribution against Kenya for sending troops to Somalia to fight it since 2011, and continue to stage attacks in Somalia and Kenya. Judge Diana Kavedza during her sentencing said the judgement spoke for the survivors who deserve closure. She noted 'one of the most comprehensive counterterrorism investigations in Kenya's history, as law enforcement agencies pursued not only the attackers' immediate associates but also financiers, facilitators and logistical coordinators who enabled the attack.'

NATO summit brings tight security and disrupts life in The Hague
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Locals, art lovers and diplomats like to meet over a meal and a drink in the historic Gastrobar Berlage behind a landmark art museum in The Hague. But the usual stream of visitors turned into a trickle when fences started rising outside as part of super-tight security around a meeting of NATO leaders that is smothering the Dutch city in a major military and police operation called Orange Shield. Parts of the usually laid-back city — where NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte used to ride his bicycle to work while munching on an apple when he was prime minister of the Netherlands — are turning into a military fortress. 'It's dead,' Berlage owner Bianca Veenhof said as she looked at an almost empty terrace at the start of what should have been Wednesday's lunchtime rush. Parking spots have been blocked off by newly installed security fencing, workers in nearby offices have been told to stay home and public transit lines near the grounds have been diverted. The city that markets itself as the global hub of peace and justice, because of the international courts it hosts, is turning into a city of security and inconvenience for the June 24-25 meeting that is scheduled to feature leaders of the 32-nation alliance, including U.S. President Donald Trump. The summit comes as global geopolitical tensions soar and conflict escalates in the Middle East. Nearly half of Dutch police on duty In what they are calling the biggest security operation ever staged in the Netherlands, authorities are locking down parts of the city, closing off roads, and shutting down airspace. Temporary barricades and metal mesh fences surrounding the World Forum summit venue are just a fraction of the measures that radiate out from The Hague. About 27,000 police officers — about half of the country's entire force — will be on duty around the summit along with more than 10,000 defense personnel. Military police will protect delegations. Frigates will patrol the North Sea, F-35 fighter jets and Apache helicopters will take to the skies and air defense systems will be on alert. Bomb squads will comb the venue for explosives. Convoys carrying leaders will be whisked around with military police escorts along closed-off highways from airports to their accommodations. While civilian drones are banned from the airspace around the summit and other key locations, police and military drones will buzz around the skies over the summit venue and other locations where leaders gather. Regular police and riot officers also will be on hand for several protests that have already been announced, including an effort by demonstrators to shut down a major highway into the city. NATO forces are already watching the area, armed and alert from military helicopters overhead and from naval ships offshore, and with F-35 warplanes ready to deploy as needed, officers told an Associated Press journalist accompanying a security mission on Thursday. They're notably looking out for drones or other small aircraft. Then there are the less visible but no less important measures being taken to provide cybersecurity. The country's top counterterrorism official declined to go into details. NATO spending and Ukraine on agenda The leaders are scheduled to have dinner with Dutch King Willem-Alexander at his palace in a forest in the city Tuesday night before a meeting the next day where they are expected to agree upon a new defense spending target. While the leaders are dining with the Dutch royals, foreign and defense ministers from NATO nations will hold meetings at the summit venue to discuss issues including Russia's war in Ukraine. When the government heads meet Wednesday, they will seek agreement on ramping up military spending as Trump insists Europe must look after its own security, while Washington focuses on China and its own borders. The Hague known for its courts The summit venue is a conference center and theater close to the building that once housed the U.N. tribunal for the former Yugoslavia where Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, his military chief Ratko Mladic, and others were convicted of war crimes. The venue also is close to the headquarters of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the European Union's law enforcement and judicial cooperation agencies. Just down the road is the International Criminal Court, whose chief prosecutor and four judges have been slapped with sanctions by Trump. Closer still is the top U.N. court, the International Court of Justice, whose judges settle disputes between nations. Getting away from it all Many residents near the summit aren't sticking around to watch the event unfold. At the end of the week, Berlage will close its doors and sunny terrace for a week, only reopening when the NATO bandwagon has moved on. Veenhof estimates the enforced closure and weeks of plummeting bookings will cost the bistro up to 150,000 euros ($173,000) in lost earnings. Veenhof and her partner Bauke van Schaik, who is the chef at Berlage, have had enough of the summit already and are fleeing the city for the duration. 'Good friends of ours live in Portugal, so we going there for a few days,' she said. 'We'll be a bit further away from all the misery and frustration.'

Investigators reveal disturbing details surrounding private jet crash that killed The Devil Wears Prada drummer, 5 others
The runway lights that would have helped guide a doomed private jet carrying The Devil Wears Prada drummer Daniel Williams and music industry big shot Dave Shapiro before it crashed in San Diego hadn't been working since 2022, federal investigators revealed. The jet was also coming in too low in foggy weather and struck power lines as it attempted to descend into the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, according to the investigators. The details on the May 22 crash that killed all six passengers were laid bare in the National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report published Wednesday. 4 Williams performs at the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival at San Manuel Amphitheater on June 30, 2012, in San Bernardino, California. Getty Images In addition to the lower-than-average descent and non-existent runway lights, the NTSB determined several other factors also led up to the tragedy — including the pilot not discussing alternate airport weather conditions with the air traffic controller. The pilot had acknowledged that weather conditions weren't ideal and debated diverting to a different airport while discussing the visibility with the controller, according to audio. 4 Debris covers the ground after a small plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood. AP 4 Authorities work the scene where a small plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood, setting several homes on fire and forcing evacuations along several blocks early Thursday, May 22, 2025. AP But the pilot declared 'I think we'll be alright' before going ahead with the landing attempt. The FAA had posted an official notice for pilots that the runway alignment lights were out of service, but NTSB investigators noted that had been the case since 2022 due to delayed repairs. It wasn't immediately clear if the pilot, who had been based at the airport, knew the lights were out of service at the time. The NTSB added, too, that the plane was only about 60 feet above the ground — almost 200 feet lower than required — when it struck the power lines. 4 Former The Devil Wears Prada drummer Daniel Williams shared haunting photos to his Instagram story of the plane he was taking to California hours before it crashed. @xcadaverx/Instagram An official cause of the crash hasn't yet been determined. The NTSB's final report will be issued later this year. With Post wires
