 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

 “I was paid N100,000 to bomb worshippers- Maiduguri suicide bomber confesses


A suspected Boko Haram su!cide bomber, Ibrahim Mohammed, captured by troops of Operation HADIM KAI in collaboration with hunters in Yobe state has confessed to being paid N100, 000 to carry out suicide bombings on worshippers in Maiduguri, the state capital.


Security expert, Zagazola, reports that Ibrahim confessed to involvement in the Dec. 24 su!cide bombing at the Gamboru Market Mosque, Maiduguri. He said the operation was planned and executed under the directive of Boko Haram commanders operating between Adamawa State and the Mandara Mountains.


“My name is Ibrahim from Michika in Adamawa. We came to Maiduguri to plant bombs in Izala Mosque. We were sent by our leaders, Adamu and Abubakar, who gave us two IEDs to plant in the mosque,” he said during interrogation


The Gamboru Market Mosque attack claimed five lives and left 32 worshippers injured, plunging  Maiduguri town into confusion during the festive period.


Narrating how the attack was executed, Ibrahim said the operatives exploited periods when mosques were empty to plant the explosive devices.


“We came after Zuhur and Asr prayers when the mosque was empty. We entered pretending to pray. My colleague was digging to plant the IED in the middle of the mosque while I was digging by the side,” he said.


According to him, the devices were coupled and timed ahead of the Maghrib prayers.


“As Muslim faithful gathered to pray Maghrib, after the first raka’at, we detonated the bomb. We set the timing for five minutes. Shortly after, I ran to the market area,” he said


In a disturbing twist, Ibrahim admitted that after the explosion, he returned to the scene and pretended to be a civilian helper.


“When I returned to the mosque, they were evacuating dead bodies. I helped them to convey the corpses and injured people in emergency vehicles. I was paid money ranging from N70,000 to N100,000 per mission.


I regret my action for killing innocent people who did not commit any crime’’ Ibrahim said
