'Terror Has No Place In Our Countries': Shashi Tharoor Says 'Concerned' Over Colorado Attack
Last Updated: Shashi Tharoor condemned the terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, expressing concern but relief that no lives were lost. He stated that "terror has no place" in our countries. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is leading an all-party delegation to world capitals to put forth India's stance against terrorism, on Monday condemned the Colorado incident, which the local police termed as a 'targeted terror attack". In an X post, Tharoor mentioned that he and the other members of the other Indian delegations were concerned about the attack in Boulder, but were relieved that there was no loss of lives. Tharoor said that the MPs share the Secretary of State Marco Rubio's view that 'terror has no place' in our countries. 'Members of the Indian MPs' delegation learned with concern about the terror attack in Boulder, Colorado today. We are relieved there was no loss of life," Thraoor's X post read. 'We all share Secy of State Marco Rubio's view that 'terror has no place" in our countries," he added.

The Indian delegations are visiting world capitals, meeting several leaders and addressing briefings, as part of India's ongoing efforts to foster international cooperation in the global fight against terrorism, particularly in the wake of 'Operation Sindoor' against Pakistan-backed terror attack in Kashmir's iconic Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists. The delegations are conveying India's strong national consensus and resolute stance in the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, reaffirming the country's policy of zero tolerance towards cross-border terrorism. THE COLORADO ATTACK Eight people were injured on Sunday (local time) when a 45-year-old man yelled 'Free Palestine" and threw incendiary devices into a crowd in Boulder, where a demonstration to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza was taking place. Four women and four men between 52 and 88 years old were transported to hospitals. The suspect in the attack was named as Mohamed Soliman, who was hospitalised shortly after the incident. Other than the local police, FBI Director Kash Patel described the incident as a 'targeted terror attack," and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be 'a hate crime given the group that was targeted."

Israel Accuses Hamas Of Firing At Aid Centre In Gaza That Killed Over 30
Gaza: The Israeli military has denied its involvement in the attack near an aid delivery centre in Southern Gaza's Rafah, where at least 31 people were killed and over 170 were wounded on Sunday after gunmen opened fire at large crowds on their way to receive food. Releasing purported drone footage of the attack, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) accused Hamas gunmen of firing shots, saying the armed group is doing "everything in its power" to stop Palestinians from getting food in Gaza. "Drone footage shows gunmen in Gaza shooting at civilians going to collect aid. Hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent the successful distribution of food in Gaza," the IDF said in a post on X, adding purported footage of the attack. The footage shows armed, masked men firing at civilians trying to collect aid. NDTV could not independently verify the video, and it was not clear who the gunmen were and who was being targeted. Οι Γαζαίοι πεινάνε τώρα, αλλά όταν περιέφεραν τα τομάρια των νεκρών Ισραηλινών μέσα στη Γάζα ούρλιαζαν σαν ουρακοτάγκοι & κερνούσαν τον κόσμο μπακλαβά. Τώρα τρώνε σφαίρες από Χαμάς αν αρπάξουν κανα ψωμί. @Urfurslaag: Έφτιαξα νέο αντισημιτικό πίνακα ✊ — Δον Κιχώτης 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🇪🇺 (@tengo_69) June 1, 2025 Israel's military denied its forces fired at civilians near or within the site in the southern city of Rafah. However, an Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Associated Press that troops did fire warning shots at several suspects advancing toward them overnight. Meanwhile, quoting witnesses, Associated Press reported that it was the Israeli forces who fired toward the crowds just before dawn around a kilometre from an aid site run by an Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). GHS, in a statement, also claimed that it delivered aid "without incident," and released a separate video on Sunday, which it claimed was at the site that appeared to show people collecting aid. The foundation has denied previous accounts of chaos and gunfire around its sites, which are in Israeli military zones where independent media have no access. Mass Casualties The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement that its field hospital in Rafah received 179 casualties, including women and children. It said that 21 of them were declared dead upon arrival, the majority with gunshot or shrapnel wounds. It was unclear if any of the dead were Hamas operatives. "All patients said they had been trying to reach an aid distribution site," the ICRC said, calling it the highest number of "weapon-wounded" people in a single incident since the hospital was set up over a year ago. Mohammed Abu Teaima, a Gaza resident, told AP that he saw Israeli forces open fire and kill his cousin and a woman as they headed toward the distribution site. He said his cousin was shot in his chest, and his brother-in-law was among the wounded. 'They opened heavy fire directly toward us,' he said. Ibrahim Abu Saoud, another witness, said the military fired from about 300 meters (yards) away. He said he saw many people with gunshot wounds, including a young man who died at the scene. The head of the World Food Program, Cindy McCain, told ABC News that staffers on the ground were reporting people killed and called it a "tragedy." "Aid distribution has become a death trap," the head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, said in a statement. The United Nations has struggled to bring in aid after Israel slightly eased its nearly three-month blockade of the territory last month. The bloc said Israeli restrictions, the breakdown of law and order and widespread looting make it extremely difficult to deliver aid to Gaza's roughly 2 million Palestinians.

Pakistan's kharif crop under threat as key dams dry up amid India's tightened control on Chenab flow
Pakistan faces a tough summer crop season due to low water storage in key dams. A sudden drop in Chenab river flow, regulated by India after the Pahalgam attack, worsens the crisis. Pakistan anticipates a 21% overall water shortage. Live storage in Mangla and Tarbela dams has dropped by about 50%. The country urges careful water use, awaiting monsoon rains. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Pakistan's Kharif Crop Sowing Threatened by Water Shortage Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Punjab and Sindh Dependent on Western Rivers for Irrigation Pakistan is facing a tough kharif (summer crop) sowing season due to a sharp drop in water storage at its two main dams, Mangla on the Jhelum river and Tarbela on the Indus river. The crisis has worsened because of a sudden reduction in water flow from the Chenab river, which India has regulated following the Pakistan-backed Pahalgam terror worrying situation may get worse in the coming weeks during the early kharif sowing period. It was a key reason why Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently spoke at a glacier preservation conference in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, urging the world to pay attention to India's decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).According to a Times of India (TOI) report, Pakistan's Indus River System Authority (IRSA) estimates that the country is already facing an overall 21% shortage in water flow. Live water storage in the two critical dams, which supply irrigation water to Punjab and Sindh provinces and help generate hydropower, has dropped by about 50%.The IRSA expressed concern over the 'sudden decrease' in Chenab river inflows at Marala, caused by reduced water supply from India. This drop is expected to cause further water shortages in the early kharif season. The authority has asked dam managers and irrigation officials to use water carefully, keeping in mind the crisis caused by India's reduced water supply from the situation might improve once the monsoon rains arrive next month, but Pakistan's farming still heavily depends on how India manages water flow through its own dams, Baglihar and Salal, on the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir. So far, India has only cleared sediments in these reservoirs to increase water storage and has stopped sharing water flow data with Pakistan after putting the Indus Waters Treaty on hold following the Pahalgam data shows that Mangla dam currently holds less than 50% of its total capacity (2.7 million acre-feet out of 5.9 MAF), while Tarbela dam is just above 50% (6 MAF out of 11.6 MAF).Officials say India is not legally required to share water flow data after suspending the treaty, making it hard for Pakistan to manage floods during the peak monsoon season, since much of the Indus river catchment lies within and Sindh provinces in Pakistan rely fully on irrigation canals linked to the Indus river system, which depends on the western rivers, Indus, Jhelum, and India controls the eastern rivers (Ravi, Sutlej, and Beas) under the treaty, it has not developed enough infrastructure to fully use this water, indirectly benefiting is allowed to build water storage facilities on the western rivers up to 3.6 million acre-feet but has not yet fully used this option, which works to Pakistan's advantage by from TOI
