Special Forces spearheading 'secret war' against ISIS in Libya

Secret war: British Special Forces are spearheading the action against ISIS in Libya

Special Forces forces are spearheading a multi-national ‘secret war’ against ISIS in Libya as Coalition forces prepare a major drive against the extremist network.

ISIS has 5,000 fighters in Libya and has threatened to turn the war-torn North African country into part of their brutal Caliphate beyond Iraq and Syria.

It comes as western forces position themselves in North Africa or a major war alongside the Libyan government to stop the spread of Islamic State.

Now SAS troops who first deployed to Libya last month at the Gamal Abdel Nasser military base, south of Tobruk are operating with French and US special operations teams against Islamic State.

They have escorted MI6 teams in meeting Libyan officials to discuss supplying weapons and training to the regime army and militias to be used against ISIS.

Three female 'sperm collectors' are being hunted by police after they picked up a hitchhicker and raped him in order to 'harvest' his sperm, police said.

The women, believed to be driving a white Toyota Cresta, offered their target a lift along a main road in the city of Bulawayo, in the southwest of Zimbabwe.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango told The Chronicle they picked up the man at an illegal hiking point on 6th Avenue in the city.

Stripper Leaves Her 2-Year-Old Alone At Home To Die In NY Fire

Yesterday, the internet blew up as soon as this extremely disturbing story broke.

A stripper by the name of Leila Aquino left her two-year-old daughter home alone during the middle of the night to go “work” an afties spot in New York. At around 7AM, a fire started in her building and her daughter, Kaleenah Muldrow, unfortunately lost her life. The fire department found the little girl under the bed, as it appears she was trying to hide from the flames of the burning fire.

Leila came home at around 9AM to realize there was a fire in her building along with the fact her toddler was no longer alive. She had told authorities (and her baby father) that she had a sitter watching her daughter. However, police questioned the baby sitter about it, and she had informed them that she stopped working for Aquino months prior due to the fact she wouldn’t pay her.

Charges Against Brooklyn Gang Rape Suspects Dropped After Victim Admits Having Sex With Her Father

Earlier this year we reported five Brooklyn teens were arrested and charged with the gang rape of an 18 year-old girl at a Brownsville Park. The victim reported that while out for a walk with her father; Denzel Murray, 14; Shaquell Cooper, 15; Ethan Phillip, 15; Onandi Brown, 17, and Travis Beckford, 17, held them at gunpoint and raped her. The teens were charged, as adults, with one count of rape and sex abuse, and two counts of committing a criminal sex act. The victim has since recanted her story and now claims that not only did the group of teens not have a gun, they walked upon her while she was having sexual relations with her father.

According to Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson, “The complainant has recanted her allegations of forcible sexual assault and the existence of a gun, and she does not wish to pursue criminal charges against any of the defendants. She also refuses to cooperate with any prosecution against her father, who was engaging in sexual conduct with her.”

32 things you should never say to your boss

Honesty is the best policy in the workplace — but like any rule, this one has a few exceptions.

"It's important to be cautious with what you say to your boss, as even the slightest slip up could make or break your career," says Ryan Kahn, a career coach, founder ofThe Hired Group, and author of "Hired! The Guide for the Recent Grad."

"There are the obvious things to hold back from saying to your boss, but the key is to dissect the little things in your interactions."

Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job," agrees. "There are certain comments and questions based on negative perspectives that can set you back with your boss," she says. "If they continue unabated, these phrases can sabotage an otherwise great job."

A good practice is to first pause before blurting out something you might regret and examine what you're trying to achieve, and the likely reaction you'll get from your boss.

94-year-old who served behind Nazi lines reveals the most terrifying thing he experienced

A 94-year-old World War II veteran held a Reddit AMA, with the help of his grandson, in which he provides a startling look at his time serving behind Nazi lines as an intelligence staff sergeant.

John Cardinalli, who was sworn to secrecy for 65 years following the end of World War II, has taken to Reddit to explain his time with the US Office of Strategic Services. The OSS was the forerunner of the CIA, and it was dedicated to coordinating espionage and intelligence gathering behind enemy lines during WWII.

Cardinalli was unable to tell his story until the FBI and CIA declassified his mission in 2008. Now, realizing the historical importance of his role, Cardinalli has written the book "65 Years of Secrecy" about his roles during the war.

Pregnant secretary of Pope Francis found dead in her Rome apartment

The Pope's pregnant receptionist has been found dead in her apartment on the outskirts of the city.

Miriam Wuolou, a 34-year-old of Eritrean origin, was seven-months pregnant when her body was discovered.

She had worked at Pope Francis' home and a priests' guesthouse called Santa Marta for years.

The Italian press reports she worked as a kind of gatekeeper for the Pontiff, as well as for the bishops and cardinals who stay there.

The Pope opted to live at the Santa Marta guesthouse after his appointment in 2013, rejecting the grand papal apartments because he found them too sumptuous and he feared isolation.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER 'MONEY TEAM' IN SERIOUS CAR WRECK

Floyd Mayweather's entourage, The Money Team, got into a major accident on an L.A. freeway ... critically injuring one member of Floyd's crew ... 3m360 has learned.

The crash happened Tuesday night on the 10 freeway -- 3 TMT vans were rolling eastbound when one of them smashed into an 18-wheeler. Sources on the scene tell us one passenger in the van, not the driver, was hurt so badly he could lose an eye.

You can see in the video, the front left side of the van sustained major damage.

We're told Floyd was in the second vehicle in the caravan which was not involved in the accident. It's unclear if the driver of the truck was injured. 

Today is Floyd's 39th birthday. He'd flown into LAX Tuesday, and was rolling back to Las Vegas when the accident happened.

Jose Mourinho vs Ryan Giggs: Manchester United fans vote for who they want as their next manager

Candidates: Mourinho and Giggs are in the running to replace Louis van Gaal

Manchester United's supporters have voted overwhelmingly in favour of Jose Mourinho becoming the club's next manager ahead of Ryan Giggs, the Manchester Evening News report.

Louis van Gaal is expected to leave the club at the end of the season - 12 months before his three-year contract at Old Trafford ends.

Mourinho and Giggs are the two most likely candidates to replace him, with Ed Woodward keen on appointing Mourinho, and Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Alex Ferguson in favour of Giggs.

The knights, though, are in the minority. On the Red Issue, United We Stand and Red News fanzine websites, Giggs has scored incredibly low with supporters in 'next manager' polls.

Robotic third arm turns musician into cyborg drummer

After an accident fused a quartet of robotic limbs to his body, nuclear physicist Dr. Otto Octavius devoted himself to a life of crime and fighting Spider-Man. However, villainy isn't the only option for people either blessed or cured with extra mechanical appendages—they can also choose to rock.

Researchers at Georgia Tech's Center for Music Technology have created a robotic arm that attaches to a drummer's body and improvises drum parts based on what the human drummer is playing.

Gil Weinberg, the director of the Center for Music Technology, says in a video about the project that music is an ideal challenge for researchers working in the area of integrating robotic limbs into human movement. “Music is something that is very timely," said Weinberg, who also led the project. "You really need to do things on the right millisecond. It's also very spacial. You need to go to the right places.
