  1. Thousands flee Thailand-Cambodia border after deadly clashes and air strikes Cambodia's Ministry of National Defence spokeswoman, Lieutenant General Maly Socheata has reiterated Cambodia's assertion that Thailand struck first – claiming they attacked Cambodian troops on Sunday afternoon and then again in the early hours of Monday. Shortly before 0700 on Monday, Thailand moved on to the use of tanks, toxic gas and artillery fire – attacking both Cambodian forces and civilian locations – Socheata alleged. The allegations of toxic gas has been made by Cambodia before but these have been proven to be unfounded. Thailand, which said it launched air strikes on Cambodian military targets has not responded to the allegations and say it was Cambodia who attacked first. "Throughout the entire course of the attacks, the Cambodian forces did not retaliate at all, as our forces remain strictly committed to respecting and implementing the terms of the Ceasefire Agreement," Socheata said, calling on the international community to condemn Thailand's actions and demanding that they take "full responsibility for such brazen acts of aggression". Thousands of civilians along the Thailand-Cambodia border are fleeing after an escalation of violence between the two countries A Thai military spokesman said air force jets bombed Cambodian military positions after a Thai soldier was killed in an exchange of fire along the disputed border Clashes have been reported in Thailand's north-eastern Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani provinces, as well as Cambodia's northern border provinces of Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey Both sides have accused each other of starting the violence , which is the most serious confrontation between the two countries since they agreed to a ceasefire in July Malaysian prime minister Anwar Ibrahim, who helped broker that deal, has warned the renewed clashes risk "unravelling the careful work that has gone into stabilising relations between the two neighbours"

  16. BREAKING NEWS The FBI has made an arrest in its nearly 5-year-old investigation into who placed pipe bombs in Washington on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday. The arrest marks the first time investigators have settled on a suspect in an act that had long vexed law enforcement, spawned a multitude of conspiracy theories and remained an enduring mystery in the shadow of the dark chapter of American history that is the violent Capitol siege. The official who described the arrest spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss a case that hasn’t yet been made public. The arrest took place Thursday morning and the suspect is a man, the official said. No other details were immediately available, including the charges the person might face. The pipe bombs were placed on the evening of Jan. 5, 2021, near the offices of the Democratic and Republican national committees in the District of Columbia. Nobody was hurt before the bombs were rendered safe, but the FBI has said both devices could have been lethal. Anyone seen Marge? She shouldn't have pissed him off.
