Police announced a breakthrough Tuesday in the killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque, New Mexico, charging a man from Afghanistan — himself a Muslim — with two of the slayings and identifying him as a prime suspect in the other killings that put the entire community on edge.

Muhammad Syed, 51, was taken into custody a day earlier after a traffic stop more than 100 miles away, authorities said.

Three of the four ambush shootings happened in the last two weeks. Police Chief Harold Medina said it was not clear yet whether the deaths should be classified as hate crimes or serial killings or both.

Investigators received a tip from the city’s Muslim community that pointed toward Syed, who has lived in the U.S. for about five years, police said.

Police were looking into possible motives, including an unspecified “interpersonal conflict.”

When asked specifically if Syed, a Sunni Muslim, was angry that his daughter married a Shiite Muslim, Deputy Police Cmdr. Kyle Hartsock did not respond directly. He said “motives are still being explored fully to understand what they are.”

Ahmad Assed, president of the Islamic Center of New Mexico, acknowledged that “there was a marriage,” but he cautioned against coming to any conclusions about the motivation of the suspect, who he said attended the center’s mosque “from time to time.”

Twitter confirms zero-day used to expose data of 5.4 million accounts

Twitter has confirmed a recent data breach was caused by a now-patched zero-day vulnerability used to link email addresses and phone numbers to users' accounts, allowing a threat actor to compile a list of 5.4 million user account profiles.

Last month, BleepingComputer spoke to a threat actor who said that they were able to create a list of 5.4 million Twitter account profiles using a vulnerability on the social media site.

This vulnerability allowed anyone to submit an email address or phone number, verify if it was associated with a Twitter account, and retrieve the associated account ID. The threat actor then used this ID to scrape the public information for the account.

This allowed the threat actor to create profiles of 5.4 million Twitter users in December 2021, including a verified phone number or email address, and scraped public information, such as follower counts, screen name, login name, location, profile picture URL, and other information.

Twitter was reportedly down in the late hours of Tuesday, with several users reporting service outages. Based on data from Downdetector. com, almost 33,000 users reported outage of Twitter around 11:38 PM IST from around the world, and a substantial number of people also experienced service outages in India as well. Twitter acknowledged the error later and fixed it quickly. The company later made a social media post regarding the same.

?Twitter may not be loading for some of you ?? we're working on a fix to get you back to your timelines ASAP,? said Twitter on its official support channel at around 12 PM IST. Almost 30 minutes later, the company fixed the issue and put out the following statement, ?We fixed it! We made an internal systems change that didn't go as planned and have rolled it back. Twitter should now be loading as expected. Sorry about that!?

Twitter was down for thousands of users
Twitter keeps experiencing frequent outages lately but most of these are fixed easily. However, note that the outage was not widespread in India and we were able to access Twitter during the late hours of Tuesday.

Prior to this, it was Google that experienced outages earlier in the morning on Tuesday. Several users across the world were unable to access Google Search, YouTube, Photos, Maps and all other Google services. Google did not release any statement on this front but it had fixed the outage within a brief moment.

Armed man who was at Capitol on Jan. 6 is fatally shot after firing into an FBI field office in Cincinnati

The suspect was armed with an AR-15 style rifle when he fired into the FBI office building with a nail gun. He fled and a standoff followed.

Could this be any worse reporting?
