Nashville Police arrest two after one killed, two injured in shooting outside hookah bar
Nashville police arrested two men after one man was killed and two others were injured in a Monday shooting as they left a Nolensville Pike hookah bar.
Sadiq Al-Sahaf, 23, and 22-year-old Mohammed Al-Rabiey were each charged Tuesday evening with criminal homicide and three counts of attempted criminal homicide in connection with the shooting, Metro Nashville Police said in a statement on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
Ahmed Amran, 22, died just before 3 a.m. Monday after someone shot into his car as he left the hookah bar. As he tried to flee, Amran crashed the car into the front of a vape shop in a small strip mall in the 2600 block of Nolensville Pike, a block from the hookah bar.
Two passengers were also injured. One, with a gunshot to the back, was taken from the scene to Vanderbilt University Medical Center by paramedics, Nashville Police said. The second was shot in the leg and was taken to Southern Hills Medical Center by private car before he was transferred to Vanderblt.
A third passenger was uninjured in the shooting.
Video footage showed Al-Sahaf following Amran from inside the hookah bar to their cars, according to his arrest affidavit. Video also showed Al-Rabiey then retrieve what police believe to be an AK-style firearm from Al-Sahaf's car.
Al-Sahaf rushed Amran's car, and then gunfire began, the affidavit said. Amran fled in his car and both Al-Sahaf and Al-Rabiey got in the car and fled the scene as well, the court record said.
Al-Sahaf and Al-Rabiey were being held without bond Wednesday in the Downtown Detention Center.

3 teenage ‘auto theft/burglary suspects' arrested after pursuit, Metro police say
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Three teenagers — two of whom were previously charged in connection with a 2023 shooting — were taken into custody and a gun was recovered as a result of an investigation by Nashville detectives Saturday afternoon. According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, detectives initially saw a stolen gray Acura MDX speed out of the 7-Eleven in the 300 block of White Bridge Road, so they followed the SUV until additional units arrived. Officials said the vehicle traveled north on Briley Parkway and exited onto Ashland City Highway, which is where the suspects became aware of the law enforcement presence. They reportedly started driving recklessly at excessive speeds while a police helicopter passed information on to the ground units. Wanted man arrested for reckless driving, other charges in Mt. Juliet after making DoorDash delivery Authorities said the suspects briefly stopped at an apartment complex in the 3900 block of Clarksville Pike and then drove off, but officers successfully deployed spike strips. The stolen SUV eventually stopped on E Fairview Drive, where all three teens allegedly ran off, sparking a brief pursuit before the 'auto theft/burglary suspects' were taken into custody. According to law enforcement, the 17-year-old driver tossed a 9mm handgun on the ground as he fled. In addition, detectives found a wallet in the SUV that had been reported stolen after an auto burglary in the 3000 block of Charlotte Avenue on Thursday, June 5. As for the Acura, police said it had been reported stolen between the late night hours on Wednesday, June 4 and the following morning from a Rice Road apartment complex in South Nashville. Child helps Sumner County authorities find burglary suspect Officials said both 17-year-old boys are charged in Juvenile Court with vehicle theft and evading arrest, but the driver is also charged with juvenile handgun possession. Authorities said that both of these teens were previously arrested for their involvement in an August 2023 shooting inside the Bordeaux Branch of the Nashville Public Library, which left a 14-year-old boy injured. One boy was reportedly charged with aggravated assault and the other was charged with attempted homicide. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Donald King is being held on a $25,000 bond at the Downtown Detention Center, charged with felony vehicle theft (worth at least $2,500 but less than $10,000), misdemeanor evading arrest, and misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.

Yemen's Al Qaeda branch leader threatens Trump, Musk, and others
Advertisement 'There are no red lines after what happened and is happening to our people in Gaza,' al-Awlaki said. 'Reciprocity is legitimate.' Though believed to be weakened in recent years due to infighting and suspected US drone strikes killing its leaders, the group known by the acronym AQAP had been considered the most dangerous branch of Al Qaeda still operating after the 2011 killing by US Navy SEALs of founder Osama bin Laden, who masterminded the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. In 2022, a US drone strike in Afghanistan killed bin Laden's successor, Ayman al-Zawahri, who also helped plot 9/11. The Sept. 11 attacks then began decades of war by the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq, and fomented the rise of the Islamic State group. Al-Awlaki already has a $6 million US bounty on his head, as Washington says al-Awlaki 'has publicly called for attacks against the United States and its allies.' He replaced AQAP leader Khalid al-Batarfi, whose death was announced by the group in 2024. Advertisement AQAP seizing on the Israel-Hamas war follows the efforts of Yemen's Houthi rebels to do the same. The Iranian-backed group has launched missile attacks on Israel and targeted commercial vessels moving through the Red Sea corridor, as well as American warships. The US Navy has described its campaign against the Houthis as the most intense combat it has faced since World War II. The Trump administration also launched its own intense campaign of strikes on the Houthis, which only ended before the president's recent trip to the Middle East. The Houthis' international profile rose as the group remains mired in Yemen's long-stalemated war. Al-Awlaki may be betting on the same for his group, which UN experts have estimated has between 3,000 and 4,000 active fighters and passive members. The group raises money by robbing banks and money exchange shops, as well as smuggling weapons, counterfeiting currencies, and ransom operations, according to the UN. The Shiite Zaydi Houthis have previously denied working with AQAP, a Sunni extremist group. However, AQAP targeting of the Houthis has dropped in recent years, while the militants keep attacking Saudi-led coalition forces who have battled the Houthis. 'As the Houthis gain popularity as leaders of the 'Arab and Muslim world's resistance' against Israel, al-Awlaki seeks to challenge their dominance by presenting himself as equally concerned about the situation in Gaza,' said Mohammed al-Basha, a Yemen specialist of the Basha Report risk advisory firm. 'For a national security and foreign policy community increasingly disengaged from Yemen, this video is a clear reminder: Yemen still matters.' Advertisement
