Politics / Presecutor: Mom Says She Killed Sons To Help Daughter by kingofpool: 12:02pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (AP) — A woman calmly called 911 to report her baby son wasn't breathing on Tuesday and then hours later confessed to killing him and her two other young sons over the past several months because her husband ignored their daughter, authorities said. Brittany Pilkington was charged with three counts of murder and was jailed, said police in Bellefontaine, about 60 miles northwest of Columbus. Pilkington is accused in Tuesday's death of 3-month-old Noah and in the deaths of 4-year-old Gavin, who died in April, and 3- month-old Niall, who died in July 2014. No working telephone number for the family's home could be found, and no attorney information was available for the mother. Police said officers went to the family's apartment on Tuesday morning after an emergency call from the mother saying Noah wasn't breathing. They said she calmly answered a dispatcher's questions while the baby's sleep apnea alarm beeped in the background. The baby was pronounced dead at a hospital. Logan County prosecutor William Goslee told The Columbus Dispatch he interviewed Brittany Pilkington and she confessed to killing each of her sons by placing a blanket over his head and suffocating him. "In her mind," Goslee said, "she was protecting her daughter from being not as loved as the boys were by their father." The daughter, 3-year-old Hailey, was taken into custody by a county child welfare agency. Authorities already were investigating what happened to Niall and Gavin, whose causes of death haven't been determined. In each of those cases, their father, Joseph Pilkington, found them unresponsive when he got home from work. "Our son's not breathing," Brittany Pilkington said meekly to a dispatcher when she called police on April 6 as her husband frantically gave Gavin chest compressions. "He's turning white." Joseph and Brittany Pilkington were cooperative on Tuesday, police said. She eventually told detectives that she killed all three boys, police said. "The tragic deaths of Niall, Gavin and Noah leave a pit in our stomachs today," police Chief Brandon K. Standley said in a statement. "Our condolences go out to the remaining family members who have supported this family through a very difficult 13 months." Brittany Pilkington's uncle Joe Skaggs said Hailey and Noah had been with Logan County Children's Services after Gavin's death and were returned to their parents this month. "Why would you give them back after a little boy just died and when you're in the middle of an investigation?" Skaggs, standing in front of his niece's apartment, told the Dispatch. A voicemail system at the agency wouldn't accept messages after hours Tuesday. But Goslee, the prosecutor, said Hailey and Noah were given back to their parents after a coroner determined Gavin's and Niall's deaths weren't suspicious. The Pilkingtons' neighbor James Breaston was home, across the hall from the family, when Gavin died in April. He remembered consoling a distraught Joseph Pilkington but finding Brittany Pilkington unperturbed. "He was crying, the tears were rolling, and she was just cold," Breaston told the Dispatch. "She just stared like nothing happened." He said that when saw police arrive on Tuesday morning he thought, "Oh, there's another baby dead."

Politics / ISIS Beheads Leading Syrian Antiquities Scholar In Palmyra by kingofpool: 11:53am On Aug 19, 2015 |
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Islamic State militants beheaded one of Syria's most prominent antiquities scholars in the ancient town of Palmyra, then hung his body from one of the town's Roman columns, Syrian state media and an activist group said Wednesday. The killing of 81-year-old Khaled al-Asaad was the latest atrocity perpetrated by the militant group, which has captured a third of both Syria and neighboring Iraq and declared a self-styled "caliphate" on the territory it controls.Since IS overran Palmyra in May, there have been fears the extremists, who have destroyed famed archaeological sites in Iraq, would demolish the 2,000- year-old Roman-era city at the edge of the town — a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the Mideast's most spectacular archaeological sites. The Sunni extremist group, which has imposed a violent interpretation of Islamic law, or Shariah, believes ancient relics promote idolatry. IS militants claim they are destroying ancient artifacts and archaeological treasures as part of their purge of paganism. The destruction IS has wreaked adds to the wider, extensive damage it has inflicted on ancient sites, including mosques and churches across Syria and Iraq. According to Syrian state news agency SANA and the Britain- based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, al-Assad was beheaded on Tuesday in a square outside the town's museum. The Observatory, which has a network of activists on the ground in Syria, said dozens of people gathered to witness the killing. Al-Asaad had been held by the IS for about a month, it added. His body was then taken to Palmyra's archaeological site and hung from one of the Roman columns, Maamoun Abdulkarim, the head of the Antiquities and Museums Department in Damascus, told SANA. Al-Asaad was "one of the most important pioneers in Syrian archaeology in the 20th century," Abdulkarim said. IS had tried to extract information from him about where some of the town's treasures had been hidden to save them from the militants, the antiquities chief also said. SANA said al-Asaad had been in charge of Palmyra's archaeological site for four decades until 2003, when he retired. After retiring, al-Asaad worked as an expert with the Antiquities and Museums Department. Al-Asaad, who held a diploma in history and education from the University of Damascus, wrote many books and scientific texts either individually or in cooperation with other Syrian or foreign archeologists, SANA said. Among his titles are "The Palmyra sculptures," and "Zenobia, the Queen of Palmyra and the Orient." He also discovered several ancient cemeteries, caves and the Byzantine cemetery in the garden of the Museum of Palmyra, the agency added. "Al-Asaad was a treasure for Syria and the world," Khalil Hariri, al-Asaad's son-in-law who works at the Palmyra's archaeological department told The Associated Press, speaking over the phone from the central Syrian city of Homs. "Why did they kill him?" "Their systematic campaign seeks to take us back into pre- history," he added. "But they will not succeed." Hariri, who is married to al- Asaad's daughter, Zenobia, said his father-in-law had been a member of President Bashar Assad's ruling Baath party since 1954. Hariri added that al-Asaad is survived by six sons and five daughters. Since falling to IS, Palmyra's ancient site has remained intact but the militants destroyed a lion statue in the town dating back to the 2nd century. The statue, discovered in 1975, had stood at the gates of the town museum, and had been placed inside a metal box to protect it from damage. In early July, IS released a video showing the killing of some 20 captured government soldiers in Palmyra's amphitheater. They were shot dead by young IS members, armed with pistols. Hundreds of people were seen watching the killings. Also Wednesday, an IS suicide bomber targeted a predominantly Kurdish town in northeastern Syria, killing at least 11 people, an activist group said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the explosion happened outside a local Kurdish police station in the town of Qamishli. It also said more than 40 people were wounded in the blast. Syria's state news agency SANA also reported the explosion, saying it killed 13 and wounded about 50. The Islamic State group has been fighting Kurdish fighters in Syria since last year and the extremists have carried out dozens of suicide attacks against the Kurds. The Kurdish fighters, aided by U.S.-led airstrikes, have also captured significant territory from IS in northern Syria. https://uk.m.yahoo.com/w/legobpengine/frontpage/uk.news/beheads-leading-syrian-antiquities-scholar-palmyra-061925887.html?.b=%2Findex&.intl=gb&.lang=en-gb |
Politics / ISIS Jihadist Who Wants To Behead Christians Lived On Church Aid by kingofpool: 11:42am On Aug 19, 2015 |
ISIS jihadist dubbed 'Mrs Terror' who wants to BEHEAD Christians lived on church aid in UK BRITISH terror recruiter Sally Jones - who once told of her desire to BEHEAD Christians - lived on church handouts in the UK before she fled Britain to join the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) . By REBECCA PERRING 01:09, Wed, Aug 19, 2015 | UPDATED: 09:03, Wed, Aug 19, 2015 2K 95 TIM STEWART Sally Jones was still receiving church handouts when she converted to Islam The mother-of-two, from Chatham in Kent, was handed grocery parcels from a church- run food bank in Borough Green, near Sevenoaks - just weeks before joining the bloodthirsty terror group with her 10-year- old son Jojo. The 45-year-old is married to fellow ISIS recruiter and computer hacker Junaid Hussain, 21, from Birmingham, with the pair dubbed 'Mr and Mrs Terror'. Jones once told of her desire to behead Christians with a "blunt knife" after arriving in war-torn Syria in 2013 at the same time as Hussain, with the pair having fled Britain to join the depraved ISIS terror group. But it has now emerged that the former punk was receiving hand- outs at the Church of the Good Shepherd in early 2013 and continued to receive support even when she converted to Islam in around May of that year, according to the Sunday Times. Jones once told of her desire to behead Christians with a "blunt knife" Earlier this week it was revealed Jones had told undercover reporters she had recruited a female terrorist who is currently in Glasgow and primed to launch a terror catastrophic attack. During online conversations, Jones – who has changed her name to 'Umm Hussain al-Britani' after marrying – encouraged undercover investigators, who were posing as jihadists, to conduct atrocities in the UK and sent them guidebooks on how to make bombs. Her husband helps runs the ISIS recruitment arm in the brutal terror group's stronghold of Raqqa, Syria. Jones soon gained infamy for leading the all-female al- Khanssaa Brigade, a militia set up by ISIS in their self-declared capital. The religious police force punishes other women in the region for 'un-Islamic' behaviour. Last week Special Branch officers were on full alert after she was allegedly spotted in Birmingham with two other suspected jihadists |
