Tunisian terrorist who killed people at French church sent selfie to friends and family in same outfit he used in carrying out attack

Dressed to kill, this is Nice knifeman Brahim Aouissaoui just hours before he launched his vicious attack on worshippers at the Notre Dame Cathedral, beheading one of his victims.

The 21-year-old migrant sent this selfie picture to friends back in Tunisia to show off his new clothes, bought with money working illegally in Europe. 

The image was taken at a shop in France the day before he walked into the church in the centre of Nice armed with two knives and intent on murder.

And he was wearing the same clothes – a red puffa jacket, white t-shirt, distressed blue jeans and trainers – when he was shot by armed police who brought his murderous attack to an end.

The photos is one of a series of pictures that Aouissaoui sent to friends and relatives in Tunisia chronicling his journey across the Mediterranean Sea, through Italy and to France.

The killer is pictured wearing a white t-shirt claiming to 'love life' outside his family's humble home near Sfax and in a cabin of the Italian quarantine ship where he spent 14 days after arriving in Europe on a migrant ship.

However the Islamist extremist gave no hint that he planned to carry out his deadly assault on innocent Christian worshippers, his family and friends said. 

His older brother Yassin, 38, said: 'He bought new clothes and a mobile phone in France with the money he had earned working harvesting olives in Italy.

'He was very proud of his new clothes and wanted to show us he was doing well.

'Brahim said he wanted to go to Europe to earn money to buy a car.'

He added: 'He made a lot of phone calls the night before the attack. He called us, the family and his friends. He spent hours on the phone reassuring us that everything was fine. He said he had met an Arab man who was helping him to get on his feet in France.'

Struggling to make ends meet, Brahim Aouissaoui, is the eighth of ten children who grew up in the dusty streets on the outskirts of Sfax, an industrial town on the coast.

He could not find regular employment but worked as a bicycle mechanic and in an olive press before turning his hand to selling contraband untaxed petrol to passing motorists.

On 25 September he boarded an illegal migrant boat to the Italian island of Lampedusa – one of tens of thousands of poverty-stricken Africans who make the dangerous crossing into Europe every year.

It comes as it emerged that Aouissaoui spent up to two days in the city plotting his murderous attack at the city's Notre Dame cathedral.

Anti-terrorist police made two further arrests in and around the port city on Saturday, bringing the total number of Islamist suspects in custody to four.

Two sisters allegedly stab security guard 27 times because he asked them to wear a mask at a sho

Two sisters allegedly stabbed a security guard 27 times after he asked them to wear a face mask at a shop.

Jessica Hill, 21, and her 18-year-old sister Jayla entered a retail store in Chicago on Sunday and got into a verbal confrontation with the male security guard, 32.

According to police, the sisters were told by the man that they had to wear a face mask and use hand sanitiser to enter the Snipes shore store.

Reports claim Jayla began filming the security guard, and allegedly said she was calling someone to “kick his ass", prompting him to reach out and try to grab the phone, prosecutors said.

But the argument became physical when Jessica pulled out a bladed comb and stabbed him 27 times in the back, neck and arms, according to the criminal complaint.

It is also alleged that Jayla held the victim down by his hair during the attack. He did not need surgery and is in a stable condition. 

The security guard and an assistant store manager pleaded for the sisters to stop, and when the victim finally broke free, the women allegedly kicked him in the head and body, prosecutors said.

Jessica allegedly taunted the man following the attack, calling him "b***h" and telling him he had gotten "f****d up" by her and Jayla.

Jessica and Jayla were taken to hospital following the attack after suffering minor lacerations.

The pair's defense attorney claimed the women were acting in self-defense and argued that they were "overcharged".

Both were later charged with attempted first-degree murder, according to police. Jail records show they are currently being held without bond.

Donald Trump's niece warns America could be an authoritarian state if her uncle is reelected

Mary Trump has warned that if her uncle, President Donald Trump – who she called 'vile' is reelected on Tuesday, the U.S. could be at risk of becoming an 'authoritarian state.'

According to a 'panel of experts' the president's niece said she put together last week, 'The message is... Donald has [apparently] done everything in his power to dismantle every institution that comprises the U.S.'

'We're looking at an authoritarian state if we allow him to continue unimpeded,' she told MSNBC's Joy Reid during an interview on 'AM Joy' Sunday morning.

Mary also told The New Yorker in an interview published as part of a report Sunday that if Trump is defeated, he and his associates will spend the weeks between now and inauguration 'breaking as much stuff on the way out as they can—he'll steal as much of the taxpayers' money as he can.'

'As if my blood pressure weren't high enough,' Mary told Reid in her television interview. 'He is vile. He is actively calling on American citizens to commit violence against other American citizens simply for voicing their opinions.'

'This is so dangerous,' she added. 'He is doing the same thing with his armed supporters to go watch the polls. And we know which neighborhoods he's sending these people to. So, it can't be clearer what he is doing. Please understand that he will allow violence to be committed in his name in order to take this election because he knows he can't win it legitimately.'

Protesters confront military men as #EndSARS protest returns to Abuja

16-year old Russian boy is shot dead after stabbing and attacking police officers while shouting 'Allahu Akbar'

A knifeman shouting 'Allahu Akbar' was shot dead by police after stabbing an officer and trying to set fire to a police station in a Muslim-majority region of Russia.

The 16-year-old was armed with a knife and a Molotov cocktail and inflicted multiple wounds on a police officer before being shot dead in Kukmor.

Local media named the teenage attacker as Russian Vitaly Antopov.

In a chilling video before the attack, Antipov told how he intended to destroy a cafe which he saw as sinful and 'devilish'.

It is unclear why he instead targeted a police station.

Filmed as he walked in darkness to the scene, the 16 year old - whose mother is reportedly a devout Muslim - said: 'May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you.

'I'm now going, to blow up... or I mean to burn a cafe, where they… listen to music… A club where they sell alcohol... Such a vile, devilish place. Inshallah, it will be destroyed.'

The video was revealed by BAZA media which said it was withholding the full footage because it included calls to attack police.

Russia's Investigative Committee said it was treating the incident as an attempted act of terrorism and had opened a criminal case.

Russian news agency Interfax said the teenager had shouted 'Allahu Akbar' and called police 'infidels' during his assault in the region of Tatarstan.

Investigators said the teenager had tried to set fire to a district police building and stabbed the police officer while being arrested.

He is said to have screamed 'I am going to kill you all' as he stabbed an officer three times in the hip and arm.

Another police officer had fired warning shots into the air before being forced to open fire, officials said, saying the teenager had died of his wounds before medics could arrive on the scene.  

Investigators have opened a case into an 'attempted terrorist act' and 'encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer', the committee said. 

Antipov was reported to be from the Altai region in Siberia and had a job working in a halal cafe named Barakat.

Its owner Marat Zamaleev had served 14 years for sabotage and the Illegal manufacture of weapons.

13-year old Pakistani Christian girl is kidnapped by 44-year old Muslim man who 'forced into marriage' upheld by court

A 13-year-old Christian girl was kidnapped in Pakistan and forced to marry a 44-year-old man who made her convert to Islam, campaigners say. 

Arzoo Raja was abducted from her home in Karachi on October 13, and two days later her 'husband' produced a marriage certificate saying she was 18 and had converted to Islam. 

The case has led to protests in Karachi and Lahore but a Pakistani court has upheld the marriage after her husband claimed she had converted of her own free will. 

Arzoo tried to run to her mother during the court hearing but her husband held her in a tight grip to stop her from leaving, it is alleged. 

Arzoo's father Raja said that his daughter had been abducted from the family home in Karachi's Railway Colony after her parents went to work. 

When police contacted the family two days later they said that the 'husband' had already obtained a marriage certificate, according to a Christian group called the Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS). 

'Very often young girls are threatened into giving statements to the court saying they have married and converted to Islam of their own free will,' said CLAAS UK director Nasir Saeed.

It is a very sensitive matter for Pakistani Christians but sadly it is all falling on the deaf ears of the politicians and the authorities. 

'It is sad as the Pakistani police and courts have failed to respect their own laws, as well international standards, which are continuing to be ignored especially in forced conversion and forced marriage cases even in the higher courts.' 

Arzoo allegedly had her name changed to Arzoo Fatima and a judge claimed that she had converted to Islam of her own free will. 

At a court hearing, the husband allegedly 'held on tightly to her arm' to stop her reaching her mother, who was not allowed to meet her daughter.  

The certificate said she was 18, but the family has a birth certificate showing she is 13, according to a Catholic organisation called Aid to the Church in Need. 

The charity says that Arzoo's parents have lost their jobs and been threatened by kidnappers since their daughter disappeared.   

According to figures from the campaign group Girls Not Brides, around 21 per cent of girls in Pakistan are married before the age of 18. 

The group says that traditionalist customs and religious views mean some families believe they should 'marry off their daughters once they reach puberty'.

Low levels of education are also described as 'both a cause and a consequence' of child marriage,' it says.  

In 2017, Pakistan's government tried to crack down on child marriage by imposing prison sentences up to 10 years for offenders.

Travis Scott deleted his Instagram account after fans BASHED his brown Batman costume for Halloween

Rapper Travis Scott pulled out all the stops on Halloween, dressing up in an elaborate Batman costume, though the reaction to his outfit lead to the rapper deleting his Instagram altogether.

The 29-year-old rapper (real name Jacques Berman Webster II) went all out in a custom chocolate-brown Batman suit, posing next to his two vehicles of matching color in several Instagram posts and Instagram story videos.

The Sicko Mode Grammy nominee was compared to a cockroach by several commenters on Saturday, and by Sunday morning, his Instagram account was deactivated.

Scott's Twitter account is still active, though, as of Sunday afternoon, he has yet to comment about deactivating his Instagram.

The deactivated account was seemingly first noticed by Rap Alert, who posted some of Scott's last Halloween pictures and a snap of his now-blank IG page. 

Since Scott hasn't commented as to why he deleted his Instagram, it's not 100% confirmed that he did so due to the comments left by his costume haters.

Prince William 'secretly battled coronavirus in April'

Prince William secretly battled coronavirus in April - days after his father Prince Charles contracted it - and was left 'struggling to breathe,' according to a report.

The Duke of Cambridge, 38, did not reveal he was sick because he didn't want to alarm the public.

He caught the virus in the darkest days of the pandemic after the Prince of Wales and Boris Johnson fell ill. At the time up to a thousand Britons were dying of Covid-19 each day and there had been more than 50,000 cases.

The Duke was treated by palace physicians and quarantined at the family home of Anmer Hall in Norfolk. His wife did not fall ill or test positive for the virus, it is understood.

'There were important things going on and I didn't want to worry anyone,' the Duke said at an engagement, according to The Sun. 

That month, William continued working and made 14 telephone and video calls despite sources revealing he was rocked by the disease. 

A source told The Sun: 'William was hit pretty hard by the virus - it really knocked him for six.

'At one stage he was struggling to breathe, so obviously everyone around him was pretty panicked.

'After seeing medics and testing positive - which was obviously quite a shock given how fit and healthy he is - William was determined it should be business as usual though.

'He was determined to fulfil his engagements.'

Following the news that his father and the Prime Minister had both fallen ill, William believed that going public with his sickness would only add to the nation's anxieties.

As the Queen gave her impassioned 'We Will Meet Again' address, the Duke decided it would be better not to add to Britain's strain, sources said.

And despite the impact the virus had on him, the father-of-three continued to contact frontline NHS workers to tell them how 'proud' he was of their commitment.

Indeed, his having caught coronavirus brought home just how terrible the contagion is and that it can strike anybody down, a source told The Sun.

Group seeks immediate recall of lawmaker, Mojisola Alli-Macaulay who said youths are high on drugs

A group, Amuwo Odofin Stakeholders Consultative Forum (AOSCF), has called for immediate recall of the lawmaker representing the constituency in Lagos State House of Assembly.

In a statement on Sunday in Lagos, the group demanded the recall of Mrs Mojisola Alli-Macaulay over alleged “gross misrepresentation” of her constituency at the assembly.

The statement was jointly signed by Mr Kingsley Nwanze, Convener, Amuwo Odofin Intelligentsia, and Mr Gbenga Akinbinu, National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Amuwo Odofin Chapter.

It said that Alli-Macaulay made unguided statements which were inciting and callously targeted at Nigerian youths during plenary sessions.

The group, therefore, vowed to commence legal proceedings for the recall of Alli-Macaulay over her comments alleging that most Nigerian youths on social media are always high on drugs.

Alli-Macaulay, in a video of her address at an Oct. 26 plenary of the House on the looting and violence that trailed the #EndSARS protests, had said, “We need to begin to orientate our young people. They are high on drugs all the time, most of them.”

The group said: “It is on record that Amuwo Odofin youths protected all business premises within the local government and they were highly commended by well-meaning Nigerians, including the council chairman.

“We would like to state emphatically, that we are not in support of destruction of property by hoodlums.

“It is unfortunate that our representative at the LSHA did not have a good grasp of the positive contributions of Amuwo Odofin youths during the crisis that ravaged other parts of Lagos State.”

The group listed six reasons as grounds for the commencement of legal proceedings to recall Alli-Macaulay from the assembly.

“She does not have functional constituency office as required by law within the constituency for almost two years in office.

“She has not prepared any bill aimed at improving the lives of her constituents and by extension, Lagos State.

“Her continuous representation is totally against the well-being of her constituents.

“It was widely circulated on major social media platforms that she used COVID-19 palliative items as gifts at her last birthday party.

“She has refused to give her account of stewardship at the Lagos State House of Assembly since she assumed office.

“She has also religiously remained inaccessible since she assumed office.”

Motorbike rider stages fake crash to propose to his girlfriend in elaborate event

A motorcycle rider entered his first race and then faked a crash so he could propose to his girlfriend in front of watching crowds, including her family.  

Jeremy Durst, 30, from Miami, Florida, signed up for the Motorama racing event, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and enlisted officials in his proposal to Sara Frank, 30.  

Footage shows Jeremy apparently losing control of his bike on a bend and it sliding away into a barrier.

The keen biker went down as if he was injured, rising to his feet and then turning around so that his back was to the crowd.

An official ran towards him, sneaking him the ring in the process, before worried Sara rushed from the stands towards her boyfriend.

When she bent down to check on her partner, he was on one knee holding up the ring.

The rider was also handed a microphone to pop the question, which Sara nodded to in delight and then said 'Yes'.

Asked if she had any idea of the proposal, she said: 'No I had no idea, I thought he just crashed.'

He came up with the unique way of proposing because it would make sure his girlfriend's family and friends would be in attendance, he said.

Jeremy bought a new Kawaski KX450 bike and entered the race, which he thought would mean that his girlfriend, and their family, would not suspect a thing. 

With thousands set to be in attendance, he contacted the race organizers to pitch his idea, saying he would pass one of them the ring before the race.

During the race he would ride around in last place, and then fake a wreck on his last lap. 

Donning a GoPro, Jeremy did just that – but during the race, he unsuspectingly happened to pass another racer, meaning he would need to slow down to let that rider past. 

This meant Jeremy actually overshot the safe crash zone he had identified, and so he had to opt for a fake crash on a separate turn instead. 

The elaborate proposal place on February 16, and the couple are expecting a baby in November. They plan to get married next year.

Jeremy said: 'I didn't get slapped as hard as I expected for scaring her, so it was all good.

'Honestly, it was an indescribable feeling – like I hit the lottery.'

Sara said: 'I had a range of emotions throughout each stage of the surprise.

'At first, I was confused. I was not sure what was wrong with the bike to cause him the crash that way.

'Then I was told to go check on him and then my confusion turned to worry as I saw him kneeling on the ground. I was hoping he wasn't hurt.

After he pulled out the ring, I think it is obvious from the video that I was in complete and total shock – I did not see this coming at all.

Once the shock of what was happening wore off and I realized he was not hurt I was overjoyed.
