​NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. A disgruntled Inland Empire employe accused of causing $500 million in damage invoked Luigi Mangione as he filmed himself torching a warehouse as he railed against wages, authorities said.. Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, of Highland, California, is charged with deliberately setting the April 7 inferno that destroyed a 1.2 million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark distribution center in Ontario. He pleaded not guilty Monday to federal and state charges, authorities said.. According to a Department of Justice criminal complaint, Abdulkarim, who worked at the facility through a third-party logistics provider, filmed himself setting multiple pallets of paper goods on fire in the early morning hours.. In the video, he allegedly complained about wages, saying, “If you’re not going to pay us enough to [expletive] live… at least pay us enough not to do this,” according to the DOJ affidavit.. MAN IN CUSTODY FOR ALLEGEDLY THROWING MOLOTOV COCKTAILS INTO LA FEDERAL BUILDING, DOCS SHOW. Federal prosecutors say the flames quickly spread, collapsing the roof and leveling the entire facility, which stored household products like Kleenex and Cottonelle.. Investigators allege Abdulkarim later bragged about the destruction in texts and phone calls, including one message that read, “I just cost these [expletive] billions,” while railing against corporate profits and shareholders.. In a separate call, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Abdulkarim compared himself to Mangione — the suspect accused in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.. “Luigi popped that muther——,” Abdulkarim said, according to the federal complaint, adding “a lot of people are going to understand.”. Fox News contributor and former FBI special agent Nicole Parker told Fox News Digital that Abdulkarim seems to have used similar tactics as Mangione, calling it the “Luigi effect.”. “Luigi garnered a substantial amount of attention and empathy from many because of his ‘cause’ as a justification for his grievance,” she said. “Several are now copying him to one degree or another in an effort to gain that same level of attention and hero status.”. Abdulkarim “believes he was speaking and acting out on behalf of the American people” as he ranted about workers being paid enough to live.. “Chamel was proud to have cost over $1 billion to the company,” Parker said. “It is a troubling time in our society when offenders will go to all lengths no matter how destructive or evil to prove a point for their cause.. “I refer to it as the ‘Luigi effect’ where offenders have learned to focus attention on their grievance through violence due to the sensationalization from online platforms and social media. Law enforcement and specifically the FBI will be digging into his behaviors and what led him down the path to violence. Turning to violence to settle a grievance is never the answer. He chose to carry out these awful crimes but he will not choose the conseque  

​The suspect in a string of random attacks in DeKalb County, Georgia, Olaolukitan Adon Abel, 26, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in the United Kingdom, was arrested Monday after the violence left two people dead and another wounded. He faces two counts of murder, aggravated assault, and weapons charges in connection with the attacks, which the Department of Homeland Security says also included the killing of a DHS employee.

DHS identified Abel as a U.K. national who was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2022 during the Biden administration. One of the victims was 40-year-old Lauren Bullis, who worked in the DHS Office of the Inspector General. She was found dead after being shot and stabbed while walking her dog on Battle Forest Drive, with witnesses describing a man standing over her before he fled the scene.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement that Bullis’s death underscores the toll of the alleged attacker, stressing that Abel “has a prior criminal record that includes convictions for sexual battery, battery against a police officer, obstruction, and assault with a deadly weapon, and vandalism,” and is now accused of murdering a DHS employee. Mullin also noted that Abel was previously arrested for the murder of another woman outside a Checkers and for shooting a homeless man outside a Kroger, while highlighting the agency’s safeguarding measures intended to prevent citizenship for individuals with criminal histories or lacking good moral character.

Before Bullis’s killing, police found a woman shot multiple times outside a Checkers on Wesley Chapel Road; she later died from her injuries. In Brookhaven, a homeless man sleeping outside a shopping center on Peachtree Road was ambushed and shot several times and remains in critical condition. Abel was later taken into custody in Troup County after law enforcement used license-plate recognition to track his silver Volkswagen Jetta.

Abel’s prior history reportedly includes an arrest for sexual battery in Chatham County last fall, for which he served jail time and was placed on probation, a probation that included a mental health evaluation. Mullin said the department is devastated by these acts and pledged ongoing efforts to pursue justice for the victims and their families.

Vincent Kompany achieved so much as a player at Manchester City that he has a statue outside Etihad Stadium. With Bayern Munich, he is striving for greatness all over again.. His appointment as Bayern boss in May 2024 raised eyebrows. He had, after all, just taken Burnley down to the Championship.. But the move appears to have been a masterstroke. Under his guidance, Bayern won the Bundesliga last season. They are on course to retain their title, sitting 12 points clear at the top. And they hold a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid going into the home leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday.. As speculation continues over Pep Guardiola’s future, Kompany’s ties to Manchester City make him a potential future option for that job.. In the meantime, he is imposing his own style at Bayern, on and off the pitch.. Image source, Getty Images. There have been concerns among fans this season that the game’s top teams, faced with stubborn man-to-man defensive set-ups, are taking a less risky approach in attack.. But Kompany’s Bayern lean into that risk, playing freely both in and out of possession. They often dominate, and are exciting to watch – an approach that involves all 11 players and starts right from the back.. In the Champions League last 16, Bayern faced an Atalanta side who opted to man-mark across the pitch. So Kompany rotated his players around, dragging opposition defenders out of position.. For instance, attacking midfielder Serge Gnabry frequently dropped into centre-back positions to get on the ball. His Atalanta marker followed him. That opened up space for Gnabry’s team-mates. As a result, Atalanta ended up with attackers in defence and defenders in attack. Bayern Munich won 10-2 on aggregate.. Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti was particularly impressed, noting Bayern’s fluidity. In his words: “They showed us a whole encyclopedia of movement and positioning in football.”. If there is one idea that epitomises Kompany’s Bayern, it is arguably movement off the ball.. As Bayern got into settled possession against Real Madrid in the first leg of their quarter-final, the back four in their 4-2-3-1 formation changed positions in a way that troubled their opponents.. Against Madrid’s front two of Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe, midfielder Joshua Kimmich dropped deep, forming a back three with the two centre-backs. This gave Munich a three-against-two overload.. Full-backs Josip Stanisic and Konrad Laimer then moved into narrower positions high up the pitch. Madrid defended in a narrow 4-4-2 and their wide midfielders, Arda Guler and Federico Valverde, were dragged to the centre of the pitch when marking Bayern’s full-backs.. This opened up a direct passing lane for Bayern from the centre-backs to the wingers. Michael Olise often burst towards the ball, receiving it under minimal pressure, able to turn and drive at the heart of the d  

 Ukraine’s military to get biggest-ever shipment of UK drones. 32 minutes ago. Ottilie Mitchell. EPA. The UK is providing 120,000 drones to Ukraine in what the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said is the largest delivery of its kind.. Drones have increasingly come to dominate both sides of the war in Ukraine, which entered its fifth year in February.. UK Defence Secretary John Healey said “with eyes on the Middle East in recent weeks, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin wants us to be distracted”, as he announced the “big boost” before co-chairing a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Berlin later on Wednesday.. On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine had captured a Russian position using ground-based and aerial drones alone for the first time.. The UK drones announcement follows Zelensky’s suggestion that US peace negotiators “have no time for Ukraine” because of the war with Iran, AFP reports.. The package will include long-range strike drones, reconnaissance drones, logistics drones and those with maritime capabilities, with many produced by UK-based companies.. Delivery of the “cutting-edge battlefield technology” started this month, the MoD said.. “Ukrainians continue to fight with huge courage and nothing will distract us from continuing to stand with them for as long as it takes to secure peace,” Healey said in a statement.. He is set to co-chair a meeting of the 50-nation Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Berlin later alongside Nato Secretary General Rutte and the Ukrainian and German defence ministers.. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is also expected to announce further support measures for Ukraine later at a meeting of international finance ministers in Washington DC.. This will consist of a £752m payment to Kyiv, which is part of a wider £3.36bn loan.. “This funding will help deliver the military equipment Ukraine needs as it defends itself against Russia’s unprovoked war,” Reeves said.. State Emergency Service of Ukraine/Reuters. There have been further Russian attacks on Ukraine, after the expiry at the end of Sunday of a supposed ceasefire to mark Orthodox Easter.. Overnight, Ukraine’s northern Sumy region saw three separate strikes on an industrial zone of the city including while rescuers worked there, the country’s emergency services said.. Russian strikes also hit the south of Odesa, causing fires in the vicinity of its port.. There have been several rounds of peace talks, with the US acting as a mediator, but the process has been on hold since Donald Trump shifted his focus to the Middle East.. What Kyiv wants – and has proposed, repeatedly – is a full, stable ceasefire as a first step towards negotiating a lasting end to Russia’s invasion.. But Moscow insists on agreeing the peace deal first, prompting accusations from Kyiv that Russia is not serious about ending the fighting.. In Ukraine’s ‘kill-zone’, robots are a lifeline to troops trapped on perilous eastern front. From florist to drone maker:

Real Madrid visit Bayern Munich on Wednesday knowing they must produce something special to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit and keep their Champions League dream alive.. They were second best for long periods at the Bernabeu, with the German champions in control before a late push from the Spanish giants shifted the momentum.. Much of that improvement – and Kylian Mbappe’s goal – followed the introduction of Jude Bellingham in the 62nd minute.. For the remainder of the encounter, the England midfielder drove Los Blancos with his trademark surging runs, and played a central role in their resurgence after going two goals down.. So can Bellingham prove the catalyst to carry Real into a 17th Champions League semi-final and lift Alvaro Arbeloa’s side in La Liga, where they are nine points behind leaders Barcelona with seven games left.. Finding his rhythm after injury frustration. Bellingham has made 32 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions this season with six goals and four assists.. Since recovering from a left hamstring injury sustained in February that sidelined him for 10 games, he has featured four times, only returning to Real’s starting line-up on Friday in the La Liga draw against Girona.. “I feel good,” said Bellingham before the return tie in Munich. “It’s frustrating to be injured.. “I missed the start of the season because of my shoulder, and these last two months have been frustrating.. “The hardest part is coming back from an injury and preparing mentally for matches. The more minutes you play, the better, and that increases your confidence and helps you improve little by little.”. Arbeloa has been pleased with the 22-year-old following his return.. “It was very good for him to regain his rhythm and feel for the game. Understandably, he’s quite tired after being sidelined for so long. We have to be very happy with his performance.”. Bellingham has remained involved in Real’s set-up during his recovery, valued as much for his influence off the pitch as for his contribution on it.. That included travelling to Manchester for their last-16 second-leg tie against Pep Guardiola’s City.. “Bellingham wanted to come with his team-mates. I’m very happy to see him getting closer to the team,” added Arbeloa on why Bellingham was part of that squad.. “It’s important for him to be around his team-mates. In the team talk and at half-time, he’ll be one of the leaders, as he always is.”. Bellingham was also included in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for March’s international friendlies, although he did not play any minutes.. Tuchel, however, has also stressed the value of his presence in camp, saying: “We have all gained from him being part of it. He was excellent in training.”. Bellingham will also come up against his Three Lions captain and team-mate Harry Kane, who will lead the Bayern attack in Munich and scored the second of his side’s goals in the fir
