A French Woman Has Her Head Shaved As A Public Punishment For Collaborating With - Foreign Affairs A French woman has her head shaved as a public punishment for collaborating with German soldiers, 1944. This was a common punishment for 'collaborating' with or having more intimate encounters with a German soldier. During World War II, women in France who had had dealings with German soldiers were shaved bald so that everyone could see that they had betrayed their country. The women were often paraded around once their heads were shaved to publicly shame them. Sounds like whoever came up with this punishment read The Scarlett Letter one too many times! Given the circumstances of the war, what would the french society rather have the women do when the German soldiers made advances at them.  The Germans had the guns, the food, and ultimately, the power. In a war situation, people sought measures to survive. The French women having romantic/sexual relationships with the German soldi...

Children in Douma re-enact shocking ISIS execution in anti-Assad protest The shocking images show children in a cage, in among the rubble of bombed streets of the Syrian town of Douma Syrian children - some apparently as young as three - have been pictured in orange jumpsuits, shut in a cage while a man holds a flaming torch, in scenes reminiscent of the recent ISIS execution of Jordanian pilot Lt Moaz Elisabeth. But this was not another killing by ISIS militants - instead it was a demonstration by Syrian activists calling for President Bashar al-Assad's alleged atrocities to be likened to that of the militants – British newspaper The Daily Mail reported. The shocking images show children in a cage, in among the rubble of bombed streets of the Syrian town of Douma, near Damascus, some holding banners that read: “Stop the killing of children.” The protesters are raising awareness of Syrians living under siege - dying in airstrikes carried out by forces loyal to Assad.  And they also...

Depraved new video shows ISIS killing prisoners in new, sick ways The Islamic State has once again displayed the depths of its brutality by releasing a video showing the executions of prisoners by drowning in a cage, wearing exploding necklaces and being locked in a car and shot with a rocket. According to the Site Intelligence Group, that monitors online jihadist propaganda, the video shows five prisoners locked in a metal cage suspended over a swimming pool. The cage is then submerged and an underwater camera records their final frantic moments. The video is believed to have been shot in the city of Mosul, an ISIS stronghold in Iraq. In another section of the video, seven prisoners in orange jumpsuits are seen kneeling in a field, an exploding cable wrapped around their necks tying them all together. The camera captures the moment the explosives are detonated. In another section of the video, four prisoners are locked in car before a masked jihadist fires a rocket at it. The footage ...

Inside a prison full of alleged ISIS fighters Dozens of accused ISIS militants sit in a crowded cell at a prison run by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia in northeast Syria.  The SDF guards told CBS News they face regular escape attempts, and they need help managing the burden. CBS News' Holly Williams was surprised to find prisoners who said they are Americans. CBS News saw prisoners from their early teens to men whose hair and beards were fully grey.  Dozens of the prisoners bear scars, missing limbs and disfigurements from the battlefield. ISIS was hammered for months in Syria by SDF forces and U.S. and allied airstrikes.  The SDF told CBS News that it runs multiple prisons like this one across northern Syria, housing a total of 12,000 accused ISIS militants.  Nearly all of them want to return to their home countries, even knowing they could face long prison sentences there, but so far their home countries have resisted taking them back. An SD...

The remains of a 23-year-old killed during a bombing mission in World War II have been identified The remains of a 23-year-old from Utah who was killed during a bombing mission in World War II have been identified, a federal agency said Thursday. Elvin L. Phillips, who was a sergeant for the US Army Air Forces, was a gunner on board an aircraft that crashed north of Bucharest, Romania, in the summer of 1943, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said in a news release. "To identify Phillips's remains, scientists from DPAA used anthropological analysis," the agency explained, adding that scientists also used mitochondrial DNA during their examination. Now, Phillip's remains are set to be buried in Bluffdale, Utah. His name had been recorded on the Tablets of the Missing at the Florence American Cemetery, which is an American Battle Monuments Commission site in Impruneta, Italy.  "A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for,...

Iraq says war against ISIS is over Iraq announced Saturday that the country’s war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is over after more than three years of fighting. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the country’s forces were in full control of Iraq’s border with Syria, according to The Associated Press, while a spokesman said it marked the end of the military fight. “All Iraqi lands are liberated from terrorist Daesh gangs and our forces completely control the international Iraqi-Syrian border,” a top Iraqi general said after al-Abadi’s remarks, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS, the AP reported. President Trump’s special envoy to the U.S.-led coalition forces celebrated the announcement in a statement on Twitter, congratulating Iraq’s government on the military achievement. “PM Abadi announces that today, for the first time in four long years, #ISIS controls no significant territory in #Iraq.  We congratulate the Prime Minister and all the Iraqi people on ...

Mystery of young WWII soldier's remains finally solved A young Second World War British Army soldier, whose remains took five years to forensically identify after being discovered in an unmarked field grave, has finally been laid to rest in Oosterbeek today, close to where he was killed in action nearly 70 years ago.

Women of Ravensbrück The site of the concentration camp near Berlin remains little known. The question of how we should commemorate the concentration camps is a live one.  On a bitterly cold day in November I took the train from Berlin to Fürstenburg, a village to the north, where women destined for Ravensbrück were let out of their overcrowded cattle trucks to be marched to the camp itself. Some French resisters, sent there as late as summer 1944, had endured months in other prisons and thought the new camp might at least offer them a chance to work outside, a hope they grasped on arrival as they smelled the salty Baltic air.  But, as Jacqueline d’Alincourt wrote, they were soon disabused of this notion: ‘We were forced to step out amid the yelling of guards accompanied by their dogs, tugging at their leashes, showing their fangs. Fists rained down upon us.’ The camp location, amid forests and lakes, was chosen by Heinrich Himmler because it was far enough away for people not...

Islamic State Celebrates Eid al-Adha with Video of Prisoners Hanging from Meat Hooks The Islamic State commemorated the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha this week with a video of jumpsuit-clad prisoners hung from meat hooks and slaughtered like cattle. International Business Times notes the treatment of the Islamic State’s Syrian victims in the video is similar to how sheep and goats are sacrificed during the Eid al-Adha holiday: The video, titled “The Making of Illusion,” shows people purportedly from the Der Ezzor province of Syria, a stronghold of the Islamic State group, which is also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) or Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). All the men are shown dressed in orange jumpsuits, a common trait among people in videos who Isis says are its prisoners. Many of them are blindfolded, and their hands tied behind them.  The video depicts them in what could be either a factory or a prison, while some are saying it could also be an abattoir...

Family Members Cover Lightning Strike Victim With Cow Dung, Mud Dumka: In an act of superstition, family members of an 18-year-old girl, who died after a lightning strike on Monday, kept her body covered with mud and cow dung for hours believing that she would come back to life. The incident happened at Daldali village under Gopikandar police station when Alijabeth Murmu was struck by lightning on Monday evening while returning from the field after sowing paddy.  The police had a tough time convincing the family members to allow post mortem of the body.  It was only on Tuesday that the post mortem was conducted and the body was handed over to the family for the last rites.

Man survives being struck by lightning only to suffocate to death after being covered in cow dung The man survived the lightning strike but what came next was worse Being struck by lightning is often thought to be one of the most unlucky things that could happen to you. It's such a rare freak occurrence - hence why people often say 'you're more likely to get struck by lightning' when trying to dissuade you of something improbable. Well, one man had the misfortune to get struck by lightning. Only to have a more improbable death, if you can believe it. Here's the full story. Binod and Gokula Podh, who lived in Pamara village in the Sundargarh district of Odisha state, India, had been to the market on Sunday evening. On the way back, the pair were hit by lightning. Fellow villagers rushed in to help them and decided to do so with a helping of cow dung. They covered Binod in the animal waste, to the point where only his head was poking out. This action was taken based o...

Frenchman ID’d among ISIS terrorists in beheading video PARIS — The cold-eyed militants lined up behind their victims in the latest Islamic State video appear to come from outside the Middle East, including one from France and possibly two from Britain, as the extremist group tries to show a global reach. The grisly video — clearly aimed at a Western audience — lingers as much on the faces of the camouflaged extremists as the men who are beheaded. The victims include American aid worker Peter Kassig and more than a dozen Syrian soldiers. The images of the Islamic State militants, who are shown one by one in close-up, allowed authorities to identify one of them Monday as a 22-year-old Frenchman who converted to radical Islam. Maxime Hauchard has been on the radar of French authorities since 2011 when he took two trips to Mauritania to attend a Quranic school, said Paris prosecutor Francois Molins.  The prosecutor said investigators were trying to determine if another Frenchman also ...

Mexico's Drug Cartels: Who's Fighting Who? Responsible for tens of thousands of deaths while amassing billions of dollars, Mexico's criminal groups are diverse and varied. Mexico's drug cartels have existed for several decades, but saw their power increase dramatically following the decline of Colombia's dominant Cali and Medellin cartels in the 1990s. Their growing influence in the region has been matched by an escalation in the brutal battles between the various and diverse groups. But who are the main cartels, how long have they been operating, who are they led by - and which of them are locked in violent struggles with rival criminal organisations? Considered "the most technologically advanced, sophisticated and dangerous cartel"  by the US government. Mexico's largest drug cartel in terms of geographical presence - dominating vast swathes of the country's east - but drug trafficking makes up only half of the group's revenues. Leader: Luis ...

Boy, 7, was tortured to death and fed to pigs. State agencies failed him, says lawsuit. Adrian Jones’s short, tortured life was spent isolated from outsiders, confined in filthy, move-in rested houses where he was “home-schooled” by the parents who ultimately killed him, according to court documents. But the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father and stepmother was meticulously documented, through dozens of surveillance cameras.  As his family moved from place to place across Kansas and Missouri, his stepmother captured photos of the horrors, images stored online and later recovered by authorities. His was a brief life of great suffering, as described by police and prosecutors. The story has been extensively reported by the Kansas City Star and other local media, including KSHB. In several instances, Adrian was shown strapped to a table and blindfolded, or standing in neck-deep water in the family’s dirty swimming pool overnight.  In other photographs, his mouth looks bl...

Photo of man carrying lifeless body of young child becomes a symbol of Europe’s migrant crisis A policeman carrying the lifeless body of a young child from a beach in Turkey has become one of the most visual symbols of Europe’s refugee crisis so far. That photo and others taken at the scene have sparked outcry throughout the world, bringing the severity of the migrant crisis to the forefront.  They’ve been widely shared on social media – Twitter users have adopted the hashtags #KiyiyaVuranInsanlik (humanity washes ashore) and #AylanKurdi – and through international media channels. Another 13 refugees, believed to be from Syria, washed ashore Wednesday while apparently trying to reach the Greek island of Kos from Turkey.  They sacrificed their lives in the vain hope of reaching the relative safety of the European Union. More than double the population of Toronto has either died or fled their homes since the Syrian conflict began in 2011. In the past 24 hours alone, around 1,000...

Butt-Naked Man Caught Hiding From 'Lover's Husband' On Roof In Painful Video Well, it looks like someone's either playing an intense game of nude hide-and-seek or trying to avoid the wrath of his lover's husband. I'm going to assume the latter. A man living in France looked out his window on Wednesday and saw a man hiding underneath a window on the ledge of an apartment building -- and he was butt-naked. Naturally, he whipped out his phone, took a Snapchat and posted the cringeworthy footage on Facebook. In the footage, captioned "But I live where?" in French, a nude man can be seen squatting below a window on the ledge of a (very high) apartment building. We aren't sure exactly where the video was taken or what happened after the clip ended, but the internet is jumping to its own conclusions about what he was hiding from. Really, this looks like it could be a scene from a Hollywood movie. I can see it now: The husband unexpectedly walks into the a...

While the details remain uncertain, it is clear, said the UNHCR in a statement, that the circumstances that led to the tragic death of Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez and his daughter Valeria are "unacceptable. The UNHCR noted that "less than four years after the world witnessed the lifeless body of a Syrian refugee toddler, Alan Kurdi, washed up on the shores of the Medi...

Execution of Yemeni child killer captured on camera A Yemeni man was executed by firing squad in a public square after being convicted of raping and murdering a boy last year.
