European Refugee Crises Worsens at Greece-Macedonia Border

As of yesterday, an estimated 10,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees were left stranded at the Greece-Macedonia border while it was shut down.

The border was officially closed for a 24 hour period after migrant protests led to clashes with the police. This backlog of migrants has left some families stranded for over a week in harsh conditions, caused by food, water, and sanitation shortages.

The UN has since declared Europe as being “on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis.”


 

Osama bin Laden’s Will Revealed

On Tuesday, former jihadist, Osama bin Laden’s will, along with over 100 letters and documents were released to the American media.

Among the letters, he expresses paranoid concerns that himself and his family were being tracked by various spy organizations. It is currently unknown where or who this money is with.

Since his assassination in 2011, the former second-in-command member, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has led al-Qaeda.
