@akhbar

I shook hands with fake Trump and Kim, I ate the peace burger and I toured Sentosa Island where the #TrumpKimSummit will happen.

Will history be made in Singapore?

Watch my report from the ground for @akhbar:

@akhbar

Also good morning everyone. It's 0630 am here in Singapore. The #TrumpKimSummit starts in two & a half hours.

The 2 leaders will move towards Sentosa Island in about an hour and a half. I'll keep you posted during this historic day.

@akhbar

@akhbar

Police everywhere. I am already waiting at the only road that leads to Sentosa Island. Convey of both #TrumpKim will pass here on their way to Capella hotel. Regular traffic still allowed. @akhbar

I just did a live Facebook in Arabic. Here a short video impression from Singapore in English as I wait for convoy of Trump & Kim Jong-un to pass. First time in English.

@akhbar

A smart colleague with a ladder for a higher view and a civilian with a chair to sit next to highway & make a picture of the #TrumpKim convoy. "For the history books," he says.

@akhbar

@akhbar

I was live @akhbar when convoys of both Trump and Kim passed less than ten meters from me.

Trump passed behind me at 08.06 am. Kim passed at 08.26 am.

I am talking in Arabic but watch the video to get an idea. Link:

@akhbar

This is what I just saw with my own eyes.

Cars of both Trump &Kim Jong-un passing less than ten meters from me.

I just witnessed history.

Our photos.

@HaraldDoornbos

And of course the media team of Kim Jong-un are filming him through the sun roof. Grateful that @HaraldDoornbos caught this moment.

#TrumpKimSummit

@akhbar

@akhbar

What a photo.

@akhbar

@akhbar

"We will have a terrific relationship".

Read full script of what both Trump & Kim said to each other in #TrumpKimSummit.

@akhbar

@akhbar

They look like they get along.

#TrumpKimSummit

@akhbar

@akhbar

Journalists in media center here in Singapore glued to their screens as news comes in that Trump & Kim go for signing ceremony.

The question on everyone's mind: What is the deal?

#TrumpKimSummit @akhbar

@akhbar

"We have developed a very special bond," Trump says about Kim Jong-un.

@akhbar #TrumpKimSummit

Mood right now

@akhbar

The deal.

#TrumpKimSummit @akhbar

@javierespinosa2

That's it from me in #Singapore. Thank u all for following.

I am happy that by coincidence, I ran into @javierespinosa2 in the media center. We spoke about his time as a prisoner in an ISIS jail, how much he misses "Beirut, hummus & tabouleh."

Massive explosion rocks Beirut. I checked on my family there before posting. Our house was shaking but everyone is okay.

This is insane!

@akhbar

@akhbar

This is a video filmed by someone who was standing on his balcony close to the port of #Beirut.

First you see big plumes of smoke followed by small explosions on ground level and finally an enormous explosion.

I hope the person who filmed this is safe.

@akhbar

@akhbar

Lebanon Health minister just said that hundreds of Lebanese were injured in this massive blast in #Beirut today.

Reasons still unknown.

Number of dead not clear.

And the destruction in property and shops is enormous.

Today six years ago, the Yazidi genocide began.

As I travelled through Iraq and Syria, I saw with my own eyes the result of this ISIS terror.

Engraved in my memory is the eight yr old Yazidi girl who had been enslaved by ISIS since she was five. 😢

@akhbar

يتذكر العالم اليوم الإبادة الجماعية التي حصلت قبل 6 سنوات ضد الأيزيديين.

رأيت بأم عيني ما فعله ارهاب داعش بالأيزيديين أثناء تواجدي في العراق وسوريا.

محفورة في ذاكرتي قصة الفتاة الأيزيدية البالغة من العمر 8 سنوات التي استعبدها
داعش منذ كانت في الخامسة.

3 yrs ago, I interviewed ISIS women in Syria who just got out of Raqqa.

Back then I posted this long thread in English about what ISIS women told me about slavery, Yazdis etc.

I think it's useful to read this thread today - 6 yrs after Yazidi genocide.

1/ Big news from Egypt.

After 100+ women came out via social media accusing a 22-year old man of having raped/sexually abused them, authorities just now arrested the suspect.

I spoke to one of the women accusing him of sexual assault.

In this thread her story.

@akhbar

@assaultpolice

2/ Let me 1st explain this:

Stories about the alleged rapist went viral after account @assaultpolice received testimonies about the suspect, whose initials are #ABZ.

Then more &more Egyptian women posted their horror stories about him.

Lili is one of them. Her story:

@akhbar

3/ "I was 18 yrs old when I was sexually assaulted by this guy," Lili tells me.

Lili isn't her real name. She explains: "I'm scared he will try to find and hurt me again. I want to speak out but please don't mention my name. I haven't even told my family anything."

@atyanibaker

1/ Fascinating. In June 2001 journalist Baker Atyani was last reporter to meet Osama Bin Laden before 9/11.

In this interview @atyanibaker tells me the backstage story of this remarkable meeting.

Part I:

- First contact with OBL
- Trip to Afghanistan

@atyanibaker

2/ Second part of my interview with @atyanibaker, last reporter to meet OBL before 9/11:

He tells me backstage story:

- I met OBL+Zawahiri near Kandahar.
- OBL aid said: "We're preparing to hit US+Israel".
- They wanted me to tell the world this message.

@atyanibaker

3/ This is 3rd part of my long interview with @atyanibaker, the last journalist who met OBL before 9/11:

Bin Laden's chef prepared mansaf (Jordanian rice dish) for me," Atyani remembers, "that mansaf was pretty good. Maybe chef was Jordanian.

@akhbar

In this short video, I look back at the first week of the trial in Hamburg against ISIS woman Omaima Abdi, whose phone content I obtained in Syria.

Some of her claims in court don't really add up.

Watch this:

@akhbar

During 1st week of her trial in Hamburg, ISIS woman Omaima Abdi blamed her husband. He wanted to go to Syria &was abusive, she claims.

These stories I often hear from ISIS wives. Very convenient. Especially when husband is dead and you can't verify story.

During her trial in Hamburg, Omaima Abdi also claimed in statement she was scared not to wear the niqab when she went out in Raqqa, suggesting niqab was forced upon her.

But long before Omaima went to Syria she already -voluntarily- wore niqab in Germany.

@akhbar

Big day.

Today in Hamburg the trial starts against German/Tunisian ISIS woman Omaima Abdi. She joined ISIS in Syria &returned to Hamburg as if nothing had happened.

Then we found her Syria phone with 1000s of pics on it.

She got arrested &now faces multiple charges.

@akhbar

@sternde

I was planning to be today in the courtroom in Hamburg to report on the trial against ISIS woman Omaima Abdi. But due to coronacrisis, I cannot travel to Germany.

So I gave this long interview to @sternde and spoke in details about the case.

@akhbar

If you forgot the details of the case of Omaima Abdi and her lost phone in Syria, please find below the full 20 minutes report on it (including English subtitles).
