Bhadreshkumar Patel, a 34-year-old man from Gujarat, has been placed on the FBI's ten most-wanted list for the alleged murder of his wife, Palak Patel, in Maryland in 2015. The couple was working at a donut shop when Patel reportedly attacked Palak, striking her multiple times with an object. Following the incident on April 12, a federal arrest warrant was issued just eight days later, but Patel has remained elusive, with authorities suspecting he may have fled to India. Investigators believe the motive was linked to Palak's desire to return to India, which Patel opposed. The FBI has increased the bounty for information leading to his capture from $100,000 to $250,000, urging the public to assist in locating him. Police Chief Amal E. Awad emphasized the ongoing threat Patel poses, stating that as long as he remains at large, no intimate partner is safe.

While expressing a desire for collaboration, he also pointed out that the traditional integration with the US is evolving, reflecting a more cautious approach to defense partnerships.
Published: May 22 2025, 8 ameznews.inBitcoin surged to a new all-time high of $109,857 on Wednesday, continuing its upward momentum with a recent trading value of $108,955, marking a nearly 2% increase. This rally is attributed to improved market sentiment, particularly in technology stocks, with the Nasdaq index rising 30% since April. A weakening US dollar has further bolstered Bitcoin's appeal in global markets. Notably, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon's recent acknowledgment of client interest in Bitcoin signals growing acceptance among traditional financial institutions. Additionally, Coinbase's inclusion in the S&P 500 index highlights the cryptocurrency's mainstream recognition, despite the company facing a probe by the US Department of Justice over a data breach. As Bitcoin's popularity rises, experts emphasize the need for clearer regulatory frameworks in the US and beyond, amid ongoing volatility and scrutiny in the crypto space.

Published: May 22 2025, 9 ameznews.inA significant accident marred the launch of a new North Korean warship on Wednesday, attended by leader Kim Jong Un, who condemned the incident as a "criminal act" that undermined the nation's dignity, according to state media KCNA. The 5,000-ton destroyer, which was launched at Chongjin, reportedly tipped during the process, resulting in damage to its hull, though the report did not confirm any casualties. Kim criticized the mishap as stemming from "absolute carelessness" and demanded the ship be restored before an important ruling party meeting in June. South Korea's military noted the warship was left lying sideways in the water following the failed launch. This incident follows a similar launch in April and reflects North Korea's history of using such events to bolster the leadership's image. Analysts suggest the swift acknowledgment of the accident indicates Kim's intent to manage narratives and reinforce control over officials.
Published: May 22 2025, 9 ameznews.inIn Dimapur, Nagaland, life may seem ordinary, but underlying issues reveal decades of decay and conflict, exacerbated by China's strategic maneuvers in the region. The Chinese government employs a 'Three Warfares' strategy—psychological, public opinion, and legal warfare—aimed at destabilizing India through proxies, including armed groups in northeastern India like the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM) and the Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA). These groups, funded and armed by China, engage in drug smuggling and violence, contributing to rampant addiction and societal decay. China's influence extends to neighboring countries, notably Pakistan and Myanmar, where it supports military juntas and insurgent factions, further complicating India's security landscape. As the narcotics trade flourishes, local populations suffer the consequences, caught in a cycle of addiction and extortion, illustrating the dire ramifications of this non-conventional warfare.
Published: May 22 2025, 9 ameznews.inSean "Diddy" Combs' former personal assistant, George Kaplan, testified at Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, revealing his role in concealing the hip-hop mogul's alleged misconduct. Kaplan, who worked for Combs from 2013 to 2015, described cleaning hotel rooms after Combs' parties, disposing of alcohol, baby oil, and drugs, while also delivering a "medicine kit" filled with prescription medications. He claimed Combs threatened his job regularly to maintain control over employees and silence allegations of abuse. The trial follows a lawsuit filed by Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie, who accused him of years of abuse and coercion, which Combs has denied. Testimony also included a federal agent presenting evidence from a raid on Combs' Miami home, where drugs and firearms were discovered. The trial continues with the expected testimony of rapper Kid Cudi, who has connections to the case.
Published: May 22 2025, 7 ameznews.inIn a tense meeting at the White House, US President Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with a video alleging genocide against white people in South Africa, a claim Ramaphosa strongly disputed. The encounter, intended to "reset" US-South Africa relations, quickly escalated when Trump showcased a four-minute video featuring incendiary remarks from opposition politician Julius Malema, who was shown singing a controversial apartheid-era chant. Ramaphosa, maintaining composure, insisted that the majority of crime victims in South Africa are black and that land expropriation efforts are aimed at redressing historical injustices, not targeting white farmers. Despite the heated exchange, Ramaphosa later described the meeting as a "great success" and expressed hope for Trump’s attendance at the upcoming G20 summit in Johannesburg. The meeting comes amid ongoing tensions over Trump's unfounded claims of "white genocide," which have been amplified by billionaire Elon Musk.
Published: May 22 2025, 7 ameznews.inThe US Air Force successfully conducted a routine test of the nuclear-capable Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Wednesday, launching it from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California to the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Defence test site in the Marshall Islands. The unarmed missile, which flew approximately 4,200 miles at speeds exceeding 15,000 miles per hour, underscores the nation's nuclear deterrent capabilities, according to General Thomas Bussiere, commander of the US Global Strike Command. This test coincides with President Donald Trump's announcement of a $25 billion initiative for a nationwide missile defense system, dubbed 'Golden Dome,' aimed at countering various threats, including ICBMs and hypersonic missiles. However, experts warn that the plan faces significant technical and political hurdles, with an estimated total cost of $175 billion and a projected timeline of three years for implementation. The military emphasized that the test was routine and not a reaction to global events.
Published: May 22 2025, 8 ameznews.inIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed speculation of a rift with the U.S. following President Donald Trump's recent visit to the Gulf, which notably excluded Israel. Trump's trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE resulted in significant business deals but sparked media commentary regarding Israel's absence, despite it being a key U.S. ally in the region. This visit coincided with Trump's decision to halt U.S. airstrikes against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, who continue to threaten Israel. Netanyahu revealed he spoke with Trump about ten days prior, during which the president reaffirmed his commitment to Israel. Amid increasing international calls for a resolution to the conflict in Gaza, Trump has highlighted the humanitarian crisis resulting from an ongoing Israeli blockade. Netanyahu also noted that U.S. Vice President JD Vance urged him to disregard "fake news" about any supposed discord between the two nations.
Published: May 22 2025, 6 ameznews.inUS President Donald Trump's ambitious "Golden Dome" missile defense initiative faces substantial technical and political hurdles, with costs likely exceeding initial estimates. Aiming to shield against a range of threats, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and drones, Trump seeks to have the system operational within three years. However, four months post-initiative launch, details remain sparse. Experts like Melanie Marlowe from the Center for Strategic and International Studies highlight challenges in funding and the need for advancements in defense technology. Trump has proposed an initial $25 billion budget, estimating total costs at around $175 billion, a figure some analysts deem unrealistic. The Congressional Budget Office has projected costs for space-based interceptors could soar between $161 billion and $542 billion over two decades. As geopolitical tensions rise, particularly with China and Russia, the complexities of implementing such a comprehensive defense system are becoming increasingly evident.
