Ein Schüler mit Messer verletzt – 13-Jähriger nach Bedrohungslage an Schule in Bretten festgenommen – #terror

An der Pestalozzischule in Bretten hat ein 13-jähriger Schüler einen anderen mit einem Messer verletzt. Den Behörden war er bereits Wochen vorher durch Äußerungen im Internet aufgefallen. An der Pestalozzischule in Bretten (Kreis Karlsruhe) hat es am Montagvormittag einen Großeinsatz gegeben. Laut Polizei hat ein 13 Jahre alter Schüler gegen 8 Uhr einen anderen Jungen mit einem Messer leicht verletzt. (…) Vor wenigen Wochen waren die Behörden bereits auf den 13-Jährigen aufmerksam geworden, da er rechtsextremistische Äußerungen im Internet von sich gab, wie das Landeskriminalamt (LKA) Baden-Württemberg mitteilte, das nun die Ermittlungen übernommen hat. Das Kompetenzzentrum gegen Extremismus beim Staatsschutz sowie das Anti-Terrorismuszentrum des LKA seien involviert. Man habe bereits Kontakt zur Familie des Jungen sowie zum örtlichen Jugendamt hergestellt. Nach Messerangriff an Schule in Bretten ermittelt das LKA Da der 13-Jährige noch nicht strafmündig ist, wird es auch kein strafrechtliches Verfahren geben, wie das LKA weiter mitteilt. Dennoch wolle man die Hintergründe der Tat aufklären und das Jugendamt dabei unterstützen, dem Jungen und seiner Familie die notwendige Hilfe zukommen zu lassen.

Teen guilty of belonging to banned neo-Nazi group – #terror

A 16-year-old boy from Northumberland has been found guilty of being part of a banned neo-Nazi organisation. A jury at Leeds Crown Court unanimously convicted him of membership of the paramilitary group The Base, as well as possessing and sharing terror publications. They were unable to reach a decision on the most serious allegation he faced – that he was preparing acts of terrorism – and the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed it would not seek a retrial. The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, will be sentenced on 27 March. Counter terror police raided the teenager’s home last February and said it discovered an “arsenal” of weapons, including a crossbow, knives and a gas-powered air pistol. The jury were shown images of the boy’s bedroom where police found a replica Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS)-style cap, a full-sized skeleton with a mask, and posters relating to The Base. The defence had told jurors the boy denied “he ever actually intended to carry out any act of terrorism” and they needed to consider his life experience. Police said the teenager, who was 15 at the time he was arrested, was part of extreme right-wing online chat groups on platforms such as Telegram, Snapchat, TikTok and Wire. Det Ch Supt James Dunkerley, head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said: “This case provides a stark reminder around the dangers of extreme content online that is accessible to the public and how individuals can be drawn into serious offending.” The defendant told the court he created an online persona to escape reality and his use of online platforms and social media escalated through his childhood.

AfD-Familienbande zwischen Rheinland-Pfalz und Hessen

Vorwürfe der Vetternwirtschaft: Auch zwischen den AfD-Landtagsfraktionen in Mainz und Wiesbaden gibt es familiäre Verbindungen. Nur wegen der Fachkompetenz, betont die Partei  23.02.2026 15:51 Uhr Nicht nur die Mutter, sondern auch die Schwester und der Stiefvater des rheinland-pfälzischen AfD-Fraktionsgeschäftsführers Damian Lohr arbeiten im parlamentarischen Raum der Alternative für Deutschland. Die Familienbande reichen über den Rhein. So ist Lohrs Schwester Assistentin des hessischen AfD-Fraktionschefs Robert Lambrou. Das bestätigte die größte Oppositionsfraktion im Landtag von Hessen. Lohrs Stiefvater arbeitet seit Januar 2022 für die AfD-Stadtfraktion im Wiesbadener Rathaus, wie Fraktionschef Denis Seldenreich der Deutschen Presse-Agentur mitteilte. »Zunächst als politischer Referent und inzwischen als Büroleiter. Er wurde ausschließlich aufgrund seiner Kompetenz eingestellt«, ergänzte Seldenreich. Zuvor hatten die Zeitungen der VRM-Gruppe über beide Verbindungen berichtet. Kürzlich war zudem bekanntgeworden, dass die AfD-Landtagsfraktion im benachbarten Rheinland-Pfalz seit zehn Jahren Lohrs Mutter, Ulrike Beckmann, beschäftigt. Bundesweit ziehen Vorwürfe von Vetternwirtschaft in der AfD immer weitere Kreise.

Russian Gen. Demurchiev detailed the torture and execution of Ukrainian POWs in his personal correspondence, Schemes and Systema report

The investigative projects Schemes and Systema published an investigation based on the archived personal correspondence of Russian military officer Roman Demurchiev. Messages the general sent to his colleagues and relatives in 2022–2024 contain detailed descriptions of torture and extrajudicial killings, as well as photos and videos documenting Russian soldiers’ perpetration of these war crimes. According to information from the examined correspondence and from the journalists’ sources, as of late December 2024 Demurchiev held the position of deputy commander of Russia’s 20th Combined Arms Army. There is no publicly available information on his current place of service. Journalists verified the authenticity of the correspondence, identified several of the people the general was messaging, and reconstructed the context of the events described. The resulting publication includes excerpts of messages in which Demurchiev describes the shooting of prisoners, discusses their “disposal,” and shares photos and videos showing the brutal treatment of captives. In one episode, the general writes about former Russian convicts using entrenching shovels to kill Ukrainian soldiers after the latter had surrendered. Demurchiev reported the massacre to his immediate superior — Oleg Mityaev, the commander of the 20th Army. In his response, Mityaev praised the actions of his subordinates and suggested nominating them for an award: “The convicts who took the position and hacked them with entrenching shovels — if they survive, God willing, they must be nominated for an award. Keep pressing forward, well done… Well done, crush, crush the f*cking bastards.” In one of the messages, Demurchiev sent his wife a photo of severed human ears strung on a thread. “And then what do you plan to do with them?” his wife asks. “I’ll make a garland and give it as a gift.” “Like pig ears to have with beer.” “Uh-huh.” The investigators were unable to determine whose severed ears were on the string, but the context of the correspondence indicates that Demurchiev obtained them in 2022. A separate section of the investigation focuses on Demurchiev’s correspondence with a contact saved in his phone as “The Greek.” Based on the context of their communication and journalists’ findings, The Greek appears to be a military counterintelligence officer named Roman. In the messages, Demurchiev regularly refers to captured Ukrainian soldiers as “gifts” that he suggests sending to this contact.

A “Goofy” DJ’s Secret Life at the Center of an Online Terrorism Network – #terror

Early last year, Matthew Allison could be found at the Space Banana dance club, awkwardly swaying to his own beat. Clutching the cheapest house beer, he’d greet people with a bear hug, a broad grin and his familiar, “Yo, bro!” salutations. Allison, then a 37-year-old convenience store worker and Saturday-night DJ, seemed to like everyone he met in Boise, Idaho’s small electronic dance music scene. And most people seemed to like him back. He was so gentle, former friends remember, that for a time he eschewed honey so as not to cause harm to bees. He was “a little goofy,” a former friend, Tyler Whitt, recalled. “But bro goofy.” But that lovable persona hid a more sinister core. When he was behind his computer screen, Allison used the handle BTC, short for BanThisChannel, he told ProPublica and FRONTLINE. On the social media and messaging platform Telegram, authorities say, Allison was a key figure in a network of white supremacist and neo-Nazi chat groups and channels known as Terrorgram. There, Allison held court, promoting himself as “the most infamous and prolific propagandist of our time.” Hyperbole aside, BTC was infamous. Extremism researchers in the U.S. and in Europe studied his posts but did not know who he was. Leftist activists sought to expose him. And law enforcement authorities tried to identify and jail him. Last September, he was finally arrested. Prosecutors allege that Allison was one of the leaders in the Terrorgram Collective, a secretive group that produced propaganda and instructions for terrorists, and disseminated that information through the Terrorgram ecosystem. They say Allison used the Telegram platform to solicit “attacks on government infrastructure, such as government buildings and energy facilities,” to encourage the assassination of “‘high-value targets’ — like politicians and government officials” with a “hit list,” and to help produce and distribute a Terrorgram Collective publication that featured instructions for making “Napalm, thermite, chlorine gas, pipe bombs, and dirty bombs.” Authorities also contend in court filings that Allison had fantasies about committing gruesome violence and sexual assault, and that he may have been planning to act on them. Allison has pleaded not guilty. For about five years, the Terrorgram network operated largely unchallenged on Telegram, which has nearly one billion users. The Dubai-based company did little to prevent influencers like Allison from circulating their propaganda and encouraging isolated young men to kill, a ProPublica and FRONTLINE investigation found. The news organizations obtained a trove of now-deleted Telegram chats and channel logs and used them to trace Allison’s activity and influence in the Terrorgram network.

ADF member who trained with neo-Nazis allegedly caught with child abuse and extremist material

A member of the Australian Defence Force who attended training sessions with the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network was allegedly found with child abuse and right-wing extremist material on devices stored at his Holsworthy Barracks accommodation. Jonathan Salter, 25, was refused bail in the NSW Supreme Court this week, facing a series of charges over accessing and possessing child abuse and far-right extremist material after investigators allegedly found “extensive messages and files” showing his support for “white supremacy, Nazi ideology and violent extremism”. Prosecutors also allege Salter possessed multiple “exceptionally serious examples” of child abuse material, including children as young as one being horrifically abused. According to court files obtained by this masthead, police allege Salter repeatedly visited sites hosting the video of the Christchurch massacre, in which 51 worshippers were murdered at two mosques in New Zealand by an Australian white supremacist. Investigators allegedly found a series of edited videos of the massacre – which the gunman, Australian Brenton Tarrant, live-streamed – as well as the manifesto of Norwegian neo-Nazi terrorist Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in a bomb attack and shooting spree in 2011. Much of the content investigators allegedly found on Salter’s devices is too explicit to publish. In one, prosecutors allege segments of the Christchurch massacre are overlaid with a Rolling Stones song and references to the first-person shooter video game Call of Duty. A voice-over states: “What happens when the soldier becomes the weapon.“ The extremist content allegedly found on Salter’s devices was ultra-violent in nature and depicted people being violently attacked alongside neo-Nazi slogans. One 13-second video depicted an explosion at a protest “followed by images of a Nazi swastika and partial footage from the Christchurch massacre”, prosecutors allege. Salter, who was an apprentice carpenter in the ADF before his arrest, came to the attention of NSW Police when he attended a gathering of the Australian neo-Nazi group the National Socialist Network in November 2024

Über 80 rechtsextreme Konzerte – Thüringen bundesweiter Hotspot

Die Bundesregierung registriert Thüringen als Hauptstandort rechter Musik-Events. Die Linke fordert nun ein entschiedeneres Vorgehen der Behörden. Thüringen hat im vergangenen Jahr bundesweit die meisten offen angekündigten rechtsextremen Musikveranstaltungen verzeichnet. Das geht aus der Antwort der Bundesregierung auf eine Kleine Anfrage der Linke-Bundestagsabgeordneten Mandy Eißing hervor. Demnach wurden von 193 deutschlandweit angekündigten Veranstaltungen mit Musikbeiträgen mehr als 80 in Thüringen durchgeführt. Laut Bundesregierung lag der Schwerpunkt in einem Ort in Südthüringen. Auch im benachbarten Sachsen fanden zahlreiche Konzerte statt. Insgesamt erfasste die Polizei bundesweit 345 Konzerte, Liederabende oder ähnliche Veranstaltungen. In dieser Zahl seien auch sonstige Musikdarbietungen etwa im Rahmen von Demonstrationen enthalten
