The March of more mayhem and magic

AS observers in your solar system, we note with consternation:

- BERNARD KARGANILLA

1. Philippine operatives arrested 11 Chinese in Barangay Dela Paz, San Simon, Pampanga, for alleged violation of Republic Act 6969 (Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990) and seized P6.36 million worth of smuggled cigarettes at a storage facility in Barangay Santa Barbara, Zamboanga City. PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr.: "There is no room for illegal activities that endanger our economy, environment, and community."

2. Tehran, Iran. In its 27th statement, the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran: "In memory of the brave and martyred commanders of Iran (Generals Mousavi, Mohammad Pakpour, Nassirzadeh), the Aman intelligence organization, Unit 8200 cyber operations and data processing units, and depot of Israeli fighter jets were targeted by drone attacks. Aman is part of the intelligence structure of the Israeli regime, and Unit 8200 is responsible for collecting intelligence signals, intercepting digital communications, and conducting offensive cyber operations."
