  • Dutch ATM Bomb Gang Members Blow Themselves Up During Test Run

    The Hague:
    Dutch and German police have busted a criminal gang who made video tutorials on how to bomb cash machines, only to blow themselves up in the process, officials said Thursday.
    One suspect was killed and another badly hurt in the Dutch city of Utrecht when a trial run went wrong at an illegal “training centre” for explosives attacks on ATMs, the EU’s police agency Europol said.
    Police eventually made nine arrests during an 18-month operation targeting the gang, which is linked to at least 15 bombings on ATMs in Germany resulting in losses of 2.15 million euros ($2.5 million), it said.
    “The criminals were making video tutorials which were given in person to other criminals,” a Europol spokeswoman told AFP.
    “The main suspect — a 29-year-old — blew himself up when filming a tutorial video. His accomplice — a 24-year-old — was seriously injured and taken into custody,” she said.
    The explosion happened in September 2020.
    The police hunt began after officers in Osnabruck, Germany, identified “suspicious orders” of ATM machines from a German company, said Europol and its sister judicial agency Eurojust in a joint statement.
    “The cash machines were blown open using homemade explosive devices, posing a serious risk for residents and bystanders,” they added.
    The two men were blown up “during one of the test runs of an explosion”.
    Dutch police aided by Europol arrested three people during raids in the area around Utrecht, Amsterdam and The Hague on Tuesday, during which seven properties were also searched.
    Those three suspects will be extradited to Germany. The other six people were arrested in the Netherlands during the past year.
    Europol said that bomb attacks against ATMs were a “growing concern” in Europe.

  • Fumio Kishida is the new Prime Minister of Japan

    Mr Kishida will succeed Yoshihide Suga, who decided to step down after just one year in office.

    His first mission as prime minister will be to lead the LDP to victory in an upcoming general election.

    The party’s popularity fell after it pushed to host the Tokyo Olympics despite public opposition.

    Mr Kishida, a former foreign minister, beat out Taro Kono, who was widely regarded as the most popular candidate.

    Given the LDP’s majority in parliament, Mr Kishida’s position as prime minister has been all but cemented.

    Japan’s 100th prime minister

    by Mariko Oi, BBC News, Japan

    High-profile minister Taro Kono, known for his frank replies to his 2.5 million Twitter followers, was seen by Japanese voters as the frontrunner.

    But he lost, and instead former foreign minister Fumio Kishida was chosen by the party. He will become the country’s 100th prime minister when parliament holds an extraordinary session on 4 October.

    Mr Kishida comes from a family of politicians.

    He is known as a moderate-liberal politician so he’s expected to steer the ruling conservative party slightly to the left.

    While his critics describe him as bland and boring, he’s long been seen within the party as its future leader.

    And most crucially, unlike Mr Kono, he had the backing of the party’s veteran politicians.

    He’s promised to spend billions of dollars to help the world’s third-biggest economy recover from Covid restrictions.

    Unlike another rival, Sanae Takaichi, he has been more critical of the economic policy of former prime minister Shinzo Abe, known as Abenomics, saying that only the rich got richer.

    With China also high on the agenda for the leadership election, Mr Kishida has accused Beijing of wanting to export “its authoritarian system”.

    Ahead of Japan’s general election, voters will be watching how he aims to balance relations with the US and China.
