A major attack in America was averted. The US Justice Department said on Friday (January 2) that they arrested an accused associated with the Islamic State (ISIS) in North Carolina for planning an attack on New Year’s Eve.

According to news agency AFP, US federal agents on Wednesday arrested 18-year-old Christian Sturdivant on charges of planning the attack. FBI Director Kash Patel said Friday that authorities had foiled the attack.

What did FBI Director Kash Patel say?
Patel wrote on his Facebook handle, “The FBI and its partners have foiled another possible New Year’s Eve attack by an ISIS-inspired individual. The FBI will give more information about this in a press conference soon.” A North Carolina judge has ordered him to be kept in custody until his next hearing on January 7.

How FBI agents caught the accused
FBI agents led Sturdivant to believe he was a member of the Islamic State group. The accused swore his allegiance to ISIS and revealed that he was planning to wage jihad soon. According to the US Attorney’s Office, he (the accused) described himself as a soldier of the state, which meant ISIS.

The accused was in contact with ISIS
The FBI was familiar with Sturdivant since 2022, when he was a minor. News agency AFP quoted Special Agent James Barnacle as saying that at that time he was in contact with an unidentified ISIS member through social media. However, no charges were filed at that time. Rather he was given psychological treatment. Police later got information again about his online activities.

At the beginning of the new year, Pakistan has once again shown aggressive behavior. Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir, without naming India, has issued a stern warning saying that if Pakistan’s territorial integrity is directly or indirectly violated, a ‘concrete and decisive’ response will be given. This statement has come at a time when Pakistan itself is struggling with the serious problem of internal unrest and terrorism.

Statement given in GHQ
According to a statement issued by the Pak Army, General Asim Munir made this comment while talking to the participants of the 18th National Workshop on Balochistan organized at General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. He said that Pakistan can go to any extent to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Talk of regional peace, but the tone is threatening
On the one hand, Asim Munir reiterated Pakistan’s commitment towards regional peace and stability, while on the other hand, in a warning manner, he said that if there is any direct or indirect violation of Pakistan’s territorial integrity, a firm and decisive response will be given.

India-backed groups blamed for Balochistan violence
The Pak Army Chief, without presenting any evidence, alleged that ‘India-backed groups’ are engaged in spreading violence and disrupting development work in Balochistan. He said that the security forces will continue to take strict action to free the province from terrorism and unrest.

India’s counterattack
Amidst this rhetoric of Pakistan, Director General of Police (DGP) of Punjab in India Gaurav Yadav has made a big allegation exposing the reality of Pakistan. He said that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI is sending arms and ammunition to Punjab through drones.

Conspiracy to disturb Punjab
In a press conference on Wednesday, DGP Yadav said that Pakistan is trying to show Punjab as a ‘highly disturbed’ state by promoting incidents like grenade attacks. He called it a part of the proxy war waged against India. DGP said that Pakistan’s aim is to spread unrest in Punjab, that is why weapons are being sent through drones. He said that the architects of this network are sitting in North America, Europe, South-East Asia and Gulf countries.

Punjab Police is foiling every conspiracy
Gaurav Yadav clearly said that Punjab Police is foiling every conspiracy being hatched by ISI from across the border. Regarding the grenade attacks targeting police stations in Punjab, the DGP said that Pakistan wants to disturb peace in the border state, but the security agencies are fully alert and every attempt is being foiled.

America has attacked ISIS fighters in north-west Nigeria on the occasion of Christmas. US President Donald Trump gave this information through social media and the Nigerian government has also confirmed the attack in a press release. Former Ambassador Mahesh Sachdeva had a special conversation with IANS regarding America’s attack on Nigeria.

Former Ambassador Mahesh Sachdeva said, ‘There can be a debate on what impact the US missile attack will have on Nigeria’s security and it can further increase anti-Christian tensions. ‘Most of the violence is perpetrated by Boko Haram and ISIS targeting government officials, and civilians are often caught in the crossfire.’

“In central Nigeria, the conflicts are not based on religion, but over herders’ land between the migrating Fulani group and Christian villages,” he said. At home, America’s action may appeal to its largely Christian MAGA base, and it could be portrayed as protecting Christians in Africa’s most populous country.

Regarding Trump’s statement about the US strike in north-west Nigeria, former diplomat Mahesh Sachdeva said, ‘As a former High Commissioner to Nigeria, I pay attention to this very important development. This is the first time the US has intervened militarily in Nigeria’s security, and launched long-range missiles over Nigerian territory to target the ISIS base in Sokoto, north-western Nigeria. This action taken on Christmas Day sends a clear message to ISIS that America will intervene to protect Christians from attacks.

The US President had already warned about the continuous attacks on Christians in Nigeria. He had said that if this does not stop, America will attack. “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorists in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said in a post on his Truth social platform on Thursday. The terrorists mainly targeted innocent Christians and killed them with brutality, which was not seen in many years and centuries. I had already warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the massacre of Christians, they would have to face the consequences and that is what happened tonight.”

The US Army’s Africa Command said in a post on the social media platform ‘X’ that the airstrike was carried out at the request of Nigerian authorities. ‘Many terrorists’ were killed in this. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote, ‘I am grateful for the support and cooperation of the Nigerian government.’

Airstrikes in Nigeria: America has conducted several deadly air strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria. US President Donald Trump has given this information. Trump alleges that these terrorist groups were targeting and killing Christians in the area.

Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump said that these air strikes were carried out on his orders. He wrote that the hideouts of ISIS terrorists operating in northwestern Nigeria were targeted. Trump said, ‘Tonight the Commander in Chief, on my instructions, targeted ISIS terrorists in northwest Nigeria.

Accused of targeting Christians

President Trump alleged that these terrorists were targeting and brutally killing innocent Christians. He said that such level of violence has not been seen in many years or even centuries. According to Trump, he had already warned these terrorists that if the killing of Christians did not stop, they would have to face serious consequences.

‘Warned’

Trump wrote in his message, ‘I had already warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the massacre of Christians, they would have to pay a heavy price and the same happened tonight.’

American army did a perfect strike

According to the President, America carried out many precise air strikes in this military operation. He said that the US Defense Department carried out this action. Trump wrote, ‘The Department of War delivered many perfect strikes, something only the United States can do.’

Strict stance against terrorism

Trump said that this action reflects his tough stance against terrorism. He wrote, ‘Under my leadership our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to flourish.’ Along with this, he praised the American Army and while wishing a Merry Christmas, he said, ‘God bless our army and Merry Christmas to everyone, even the dead terrorists, Merry Christmas.’ At the same time, the US Africa Command (US AFRICOM) has said that the action taken against ISIS in Sokoto, Nigeria (called ‘Soboto’ in the AFRICOM statement) was taken at the request of the Nigerian authorities.

Australian PM Anthony Albanese has apologized to the Jewish community regarding the Bondi Beach attack. He said he felt deep responsibility for the incident and promised that his government would never allow terrorists to divide Australian society. On December 14, two father-son duo opened fire on the Jewish community celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach, killing 15 people and injuring many.

According to IANS report, Albanese has also responded to the allegations of Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. He said that there is no link to this incident with recognition of Palestine. Netanyahu said in a statement on December 15 that the Australian government did nothing to stop anti-Semitism and rewarded terrorism by recognizing Palestine, which led to the attack.

Australia recognized Palestine as a state in September, as part of an international effort to achieve a two-state solution, a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages by Hamas. Netanyahu said that Australia’s policies are weakness instead of weakness and appeasement instead of appeasement. On Monday (December 22, 2025), Albanese responded to these allegations, while talking to journalists on the Bondi Beach attack, saying that he did not agree with any such thing. There is no link to this attack with recognition of Palestine.

Albanese said, ‘This attack had the imprint of ISIS. We know that ISIS is an ideology, a distorted form of Islam that fundamentally has nothing to do with the recognition of any nation, it wants a caliphate. He said he was now able to provide a more comprehensive response after the court released more details on Monday morning.

PM Albanese further said, ‘This is an extremist ideology that wants a caliphate as its goal. Now there is evidence… some of which, of course, is not public yet, and I don’t want to interfere with those investigations, but it is very clear that this is anti-Semitism. It is clear that this is an extremist position of a distorted form of Islam, close to ISIS. These people are not even shy about their inspiration. According to Albanese, people will have to keep an eye on those facts.

On 16 December, Albanese announced that the government would criminalize hate speech and incitement to violence, ban Nazi salutes, increase funding to protect Jewish sites and tighten gun laws.

It is noteworthy that Al-Sharaa had earlier been associated with Al-Qaeda and was also once in American custody. Trump had removed his global terrorist status before meeting him.
