    choice quotes

    German prosecutors on Tuesday said police had arrested an employee of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party on suspicion of espionage.

    In January, the accused is said to have repeatedly passed on information about negotiations and decisions in the European Parliament to his intelligence client.

    ...

    Investigators think the suspect may have passed information on parliamentary operations to China's Ministry of State Security.

    ...

    He has adopted a China-friendly stance, describing reports of human rights violations such as internment camps for Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang as "anti-China propaganda."

    He has also insisted that Taiwan belongs to Beijing under international law and that Tibet is also China's rightful territory.

    Can't find where I read that they were also accused of spying against the "exile opposition" falun gong lol

  • French military has determined that Ukraine used a US-made Patriot missile on plane carrying Ukrainian POWs – AP
  • They dont link it directly

    Some Western intelligence assessments have suggested the plane was shot down by a missile from Ukraine, although they could not confirm the presence of POWs on board.

    A French military official told The Associated Press that the country’s military concluded that Ukrainian forces used a battery of Patriot surface-to-air missiles to shoot down the Il-76, firing from about 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) away.

    The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to divulge the intelligence findings, said the Ukrainian battery apparently managed to stay hidden while getting closer to the target and then switched on its radar “just long enough to hit them.”

    Another Western official also said the plane was downed by “a missile strike rather than any kind of mechanical failure,” and it’s almost certain the missile was fired from Ukrainian territory. The official said “it’s not yet clear” whether it was carrying Ukrainian POWs.
