Italy's Sikh Slaves

We investigate the exploitation of Sikh agricultural workers in Italy by organised crime amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The vast agricultural plains of the Agro-Pontino in central Italy is now one of the country's main areas of food production.

Yet it was not always the case.

This 100 mile-long stretch of land facing the Tyrrhenian Sea was marshland until a century ago when fascist dictator Benito Mussolini organised a mass migration from northern Italy to drain the swamps and turn them into fertile farmland.

Al-Qaida leader announces formation of Indian branch

Ayman al-Zawahiri calls on Muslims across Indian subcontinent to join 'caravan of jihad'

A "caravan of jihad"? Does this mean they'll be advancing on the field of jihai battle to the song Convoy?

Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaida, has announced the formation of an Indian branch of the extremist organisation, calling on Muslims across the subcontinent to join the "caravan of jihad".
In a 56-minute video posted online on Wednesday, Zawahiri also renewed a longstanding vow of loyalty to Mullah Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, and sniped at the Islamic State (Isis), the Syria- and Iraq-based group which has challenged al-Qaida's increasingly shaky leadership of transnational Islamic militancy in recent months.
Zawahiri, who has led al-Qaida since the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011, said the new "Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent" would be "the standard bearer" of Bin Laden's "global message which aimed to unite the [world's Muslims] in jihad against enemy, liberate occupied lands and establish the caliphate".

The internal battles within Al-Qaida over who gets to create the Muslim caliphate has just verved into the wierd.  What are ISIS and Al-Qaida going to do have a West Story knife fight or will be more like the Warriors.

The video calls for the establishment of an "Islamic state in the Indian Subcontinent" and emphasises al-Qaida's traditional role of unifying disparate militant groups. The reference to the caliphate, in an edited speech by Bin Laden, also appears in part directed at the group's new rivals.
"This new group has not come into formation in a single day, but attempts to unite the jihadi groups of subcontinent were going on for nearly past two years. This group will work under the central al-Qaida, which is an army among the armies … led by Mullah Omar," it says.

So, the untold millions of Hindus and Sikh's are just going let this happen? Some how I think Zawahiri suffering deluisions of granjure.
