A teenage boy suspected of stabbing two pupils at a school in north London was arrested after he was seen inside a mosque, police have said.
Two boys, aged 12 and 13, are in a serious condition after the attack at Kingsbury High School, on Bacon Lane in Brent, at Tuesday lunchtime.
Later that day, a 13-year-old boy believed to be a suspended or former student was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
The predominantly Muslim child rape grooming gangs likely trafficked “countless” British women and girls to their native Pakistan to serve as sex slaves, the head of the independent rape gang inquiry has said.

Hundreds of residents in Nieuw-Lekkerland, a Dutch town of around 10,000, demonstrated on Monday evening against the potential establishment of an asylum seekers’ housing center in their community.
The march culminated at the town’s community center, where a residents’ meeting was held and locals were given the opportunity to ask questions regarding the proposed shelter. The protesters presented the results of an online petition to Mayor Theo Segers—a petition that had garnered over 10,000 signatures from people opposing the center.
Western and other intelligence agencies last week told the United Nations that Al-Qaeda now has 25,000 members globally. Much of the ensuing press coverage has seized on the contrast: on 11 September 2001, the organisation was thought to have numbered just 500. The not-so-subtle implication here — that the Global War on Terror was worse than useless — must be resisted.
The figures themselves should be treated with scepticism. Assessing the size of militant groups, even non-clandestine ones, is fraught. Intelligence agencies presumably have sources researchers do not. Reliable or not, though, visibility is not the main issue.
A boy of 13 launched a stabbing rampage in a school on Tuesday, leaving two children fighting for their lives in a suspected terror attack.
In the middle of a classroom just before lunch, a teenager pulled out a knife and stabbed a 13-year-old boy in the neck and back while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, witnesses said.
Seconds later, a second boy aged 12 was knifed in front of screaming children at Kingsbury High School in Brent, north-west London.
Famed for its openness and slower pace of life, Sweden is one of the last places you might expect to see children being pulled off the streets and searched without a warrant, or having their phones spied on by detectives.
But after four years of gang violence that has seen children as young as 12 recruited on social media to carry out hit jobs against rival gangsters, police say it has become a grim but necessary reality.
In April 2024, Swedish police were handed sweeping new powers to tackle the rise of Middle Eastern drug syndicates who groom boys and girls into being “foot soldiers” by offering them up to 150,000 kroner (£12,500) per job.
A couple of years ago, in my book, A Heretic’s Manifesto, I envisioned a situation where Iran’s female warriors against theocracy might one day come to the West only to find themselves branded ‘Islamophobic’. In my dystopic foretelling, these valiant hijab-burners would be accused by the pious pricks of the woke of such blasphemous sins as ‘hijabophobia’ – a real word, meaning ‘hostility to the hijab’. They might look to the West for refuge and wind up not being celebrated but being shouted down, charged with the thoughtcrime of Islamophobia.
Jihadist groups are increasingly carrying out drone strikes in West Africa, raising alarm that they are building the capacity to wage a “war from the skies”.
A leading violence monitoring organisation, Acled, has recorded at least 69 drone strikes by an al-Qaeda affiliate in Burkina Faso and Mali since 2023, while two Islamic State (IS) affiliates have carried out around 20 – mostly in Nigeria, which has been battling numerous insurgent groups for almost 25 years.
The latest drone attack took place in Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno state on 29 January, when jihadists carried out a two-pronged assault – with multiple armed drones and ground fighters – on a military base.
The rapid changes sweeping northeastern Syria have produced a troubling result: the escape of hardened Islamic State (ISIS) fighters from detention facilities previously secured by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This development, unfolding amid a fragile ceasefire, poses a serious security threat, including to Canada.
A scout is supposed to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent and able to behead infidels.
A DEFRA (Dept. for Environment Food & Rural Affairs) commissioned report published in 2022 has begun circulating again and is clearly less about protected landscapes than about protecting one belief system [1].
The focus is almost entirely on reshaping public space to accommodate Islamic religious practice. Food, prayer, toilets, fear of racism and dogs are a constant source of complaint – all of it entirely consistent with sharia.
The traditional chief of a village in western Nigeria where jihadists massacred residents earlier this week has recounted a night of terror during which the attackers killed two of his sons and kidnapped his wife and three daughters.
Umar Bio Salihu, the 53-year-old chief of Woro, a small, Muslim-majority village in Kwara state, said that at about 5pm on Tuesday the gunmen “just came in and started shooting”.
“All those shops that are within the road, they burnt them … Some people have been burned inside their houses,” he told the Agence France-Presse news agency. “They killed two of (my sons) standing at the front of my house. They took away my second wife with some three (daughters). They are with them presently in the bush.”
Prosecutors are betraying grooming victims by failing to treat rape gang offences against white working-class girls as hate crimes, it has been claimed.
Fiona Goddard, who was repeatedly raped from the age of 14 during her time in children’s homes in Bradford in the 2000s, said it was “deeply frustrating” that the crimes were not deemed to have a racial element.
Ms Goddard, now 32, said her abusers “spoke about ‘white girls’ as people they could use, saying they needed to keep Pakistani girls ‘pure’”.
Victims have been referred to by Pakistani-Muslim abusers as “white b—h” and “trash”.
🇬🇧 Rupert Lowe's Rape Gang Enquiry is utterly harrowing.
The abuse of White working class girls by Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs was ignored, minimised, and buried by institutions meant to protect them.

Brexit marked the point at which the real political cleavage in the country could no longer be denied. The UK was split not by left and right but between what author David Goodhart described as the ‘Somewheres’ – the predominantly Leave-voting cohort whose identity is rooted in place – and ‘Anywheres’ – the largely urban, mobile, socially liberal and university-educated class who voted Remain.
A Bradford NHS Trust sought to recruit a nurse to help relatives who are having children together.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust released an advertisement for ‘Close Relative Marriage Nurse/Midwife’ for its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The role explained the successful candidate would provide ‘comprehensive care and support to families who have recently had a baby and are close relatives’.
