At least three people killed after train derails in southern Germany

Ammon News - Three people were killed and several others injured when a regional passenger train derailed in a wooded area in southwestern Germany on Sunday, police said. About 100 passengers were onboard the train when the accident occurred at about 6.10 pm local time near the town of Riedlingen in Baden-Wüerttemberg state. Contacted by AFP, police initially said four people had been killed before correcting their statement to three victims. Authorities declined to elaborate on the number of injured or how seriously hurt they were. The German rail operator Deutsche Bahn confirmed several deaths and numerous injured. Two train carriages had derailed 'for reasons yet unknown', it added. Authorities were currently investigating the circumstances of the accident, the operator said, and traffic had been suspended over a 40km (25-mile) stretch of the route. German media reported that a landslide might have caused the accident as severe storms swept through the region, according to weather services. The Guardian

US man who killed 6-year-old Palestinian boy dies in prison

Joseph Czuba, the 73-year-old Illinois man convicted of the hate crime murder of six-year-old Palestinian-American Wadea al-Fayoume and the attempted murder of his mother, Hanaan Shahin, died in prison on Thursday. His death occurred less than three months after he was sentenced to 53 years behind bars. The horrific attack unfolded on October 14, 2023, in Plainfield Township, Illinois, when Czuba, the family's landlord, stabbed Wadea 26 times with a military knife. His mother, Hanaan Shahin, also sustained critical injuries. Authorities swiftly classified the murder as a hate crime, stating it was motivated by anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian extremism, directly linked to the escalation of the war on Gaza. Prosecutors revealed Czuba's agitation was fueled by his consumption of conservative talk radio, leading him to believe his tenants posed a threat. Czuba was found guilty on all charges, including first-degree murder and hate crimes, on February 28, 2025, after less than 90 minutes of jury deliberation. He was sentenced on May 2, 2025. While the official cause of Czuba's death was not immediately released by authorities, it was known he had been battling stage 4 cancer. Ahmed Rehab, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago), stated, "this depraved killer has died, but the hate is still alive and well". The case deeply affected the Chicago area's large Palestinian community and highlighted rising hostility against Muslims and Palestinians in the US. Plainfield officials have since dedicated a park playground in Wadea's honor, serving as a lasting memorial.

6 civilians killed in Israeli occupation's bombing of west Gaza City

Ammon News - Six citizens were killed and others injured early Saturday morning in an Israeli airstrike west of Gaza City. Medical sources reported that four citizens were killed and others were injured as a result of the Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the Rimal neighborhood. The same sources announced the killing of Mohammed Riyad Foura and his wife, Jumana Aref Foura, when debris from a building collapsed on their tent after it was targeted in Gaza. They indicated that a number of those injured, waiting for aid, arrived at Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City after being directly shot in the Al-Waha area. Meanwhile, Israeli fighter jets are launching a series of airstrikes targeting various areas of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City. Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched an assault on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the killing of 59,676 civilians, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 143,965 others. The occupation also commits horrific massacres against those waiting for aid, who are exposed daily to the risk of death due to indiscriminate fire and direct targeting. The number of Palestinians who have been killed since the implementation of the aid distribution points mechanism on May 27, 2005, has exceeded 1,000, with hundreds more injured. Thus, the aid distribution centers of the Israeli-American "Gaza Humanitarian Relief Foundation," a UN-rejected organization, have become traps for mass killings, in addition to the deliberate violation of citizens' dignity and their forced displacement amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
