As a high-level strategic military paradigm, the NATO high command's "theory of victory" certainly gives the impression of being a serious bit of warcraft, just by its title. It purports to be a theory that anticipates the measures required to achieve victory in the event of an attack on any of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's 32 member states. Adopted last month, an unclassified version of the elaborate war-gaming formulae was outlined on Monday by the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, at the Warsaw Security Forum. All the generals and the heads of state and defence ministers at the summit would have been well aware that the high command's "theory of victory" might just as well be understood as a work of speculative fiction. For one thing, Russia is not mentioned, although any discussion of the "theory of victory" inevitably turns to Russia and the scenario of an invasion of Poland and the Baltic states via Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. While the Warsaw conference was underway, 20,000 troops were engaged in a 10-day war game simulating a hypothetical invasion of 10,000 troops from the east.

Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.

What researchers uncovered through lab testing and surveillance footage, prosecutors said, was a plot by his fellow graduate student to intentionally poison him.

Omar’s legal team says the search violated safeguards designed to protect constitutional rights of members of Congress. Lawyers for Democratic United States Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota have demanded the return of property seized in a federal raid of her Washington, DC home, accusing the US Department of Justice of conducting a politically motivated investigation and failing to follow judicial instructions during the search. “The political motivations behind this pre-election investigation and search are clear as day,” Omar’s lawyers wrote in a letter sent to federal prosecutors on Friday and obtained by The Associated Press news agency.
