On Wednesday, a man with a criminal history who had converted to Islam plowed through a crowd of people walking along Westminster Bridge, sprinted through a gate into the New Palace Yard, and stabbed an unarmed police officer to death outside the entrance to the Palace of Westminster, home of the Houses of Parliament, before being shot and killed by a government official’s bodyguard. The day before, the German government announced that it would take the unprecedented step of deporting two German-born individuals who may be terrorist threats, a sign that the government is responding to pressure from Germans to get tougher on terror. Much of the other news of the week revolved around terror and radical Islam, but some important other events and reports also emerged.

Here are the five most important news stories this week, as well as relevant links to the full articles and videos here on theTrumpet.com.

Terrorist attack in London

On Wednesday, 52-year-old Khalid Masood weaponized a Hyundai suv and a pocket knife and killed four people and injured 50 others in Westminster, London.

London, like many cities in America and Europe, is home to thousands of individuals who have a deep hatred for their host country and seek to terrorize its citizens. Yet the general mood in Britain following the ghastly attack was that Britain needs to keep calm and carry on as normal.

Such apathy is destructive, and it denies Britain the opportunities to begin to solve such problems.

Iran increasing support for Yemen’s Houthis

According to a Reuters exclusive report released on Wednesday, Iran is deeply engaged in training, arming and funding Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who currently control the western third of Yemeni territory, including the capital Sana’a.

Reuters’s sources indicated that in recent months Iran has increased its long-standing support, including providing special attention from its foreign fighting force, the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Germany deports two German-born terror suspects

Germany will for the first time in its history deport German-born individuals suspected of plotting terrorist attacks.

The Federal Administrative Court of Germany ruled on Tuesday that a 22-year-old Nigerian and 27-year-old Algerian posed a dangerous threat to the nation that warranted deportation.

The mood in Germany is hardening, and the nation is taking unprecedented actions to attempt to combat terrorism. Last week, for example, Germany reinterpreted its Basic Law to permit the German Army to train with police on German streets, a first since World War ii.

Trump administration attacks free trade at G-20 meeting

G-20 members last weekend agreed to exclude free trade from the joint policy declaration that came out of the meeting.

This backing down from the international organization’s long-standing strong support for free trade marked a dramatic change for the G-20. Geopolitical Futures founder George Friedman said the agreement “must be regarded as a historical moment.”

It was a change entirely precipitated by the Trump administration, and it is likely to trigger new trade partnerships, new trade wars, and with them, new hot wars.

Mosul: What happens next?

What happens after the Islamic State is driven from Mosul, Iraq?

The offensive to retake Iraq’s second-largest city—and the Islamic State’s Iraqi stronghold—began in mid-October 2016 and is now in its final bloody stages. However, as Al-Monitor noted this week, “[M]ilitary victory in Mosul is just the beginning of a more complicated phase for Iraq.”

Iran and the Iranian-backed militias operating in Iraq under the banner of the Popular Mobilization Units (pmu) will be the major source of complications. Ultimately, they will ensure Iraq’s fall to Iran.
