Pakistani news channels hacked with pro-Mossad messages

Several Pakistani news channels were reportedly hacked on Sunday evening, with unauthorised broadcasts airing messages supporting Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad and targeting the Pakistan Armed Forces.

Hillary Clinton tells congressional panel she has no information on Epstein

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a congressional committee on Thursday that she did not recall ever meeting the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and had no information to share about his criminal activities. "I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes or offices. I have nothing to add to that," Clinton said in a statement to the House of Representatives Oversight Committee. Clinton's statement came as she was due to deliver a closed-door deposition to the committee in Chappaqua, New York. Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, also accused the Republican-led panel of trying to shift focus away from Trump's ties to Epstein, who died by suicide in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. She said Trump's administration has "gutted" a State Department office focused on international sex trafficking. She and her husband, Democratic former Pre...
