Amsterdam knife attacker who injured 2 Americans suspected of having ‘terrorist motive,’ prosecutors say

A man who stabbed five people in Amsterdam last week, including two Americans, likely had a «terrorist motive,» Dutch prosecutors announced Tuesday.
The suspect, identified by police as a 30-year-old Ukrainian from the Donetsk region, according to Reuters, was taken into custody Thursday after a bystander reportedly overpowered him.
«The man is suspected of five counts of attempted murder or manslaughter with a terrorist motive,» the news agency quoted prosecutors as saying Tuesday.
Authorities identified the victims of the shopping district stabbing spree as a 69-year-old man and 67-year-old woman from the U.S.; a 73-year-old woman from Belgium; a 26-year-old man from Poland; and a 19-year-old woman from Amsterdam.

Una fórmula simple para combatir la nostalgia (la descubrí en una mudanza)

No dejé que nadie se llevara el marco que habia quedado de aquel cuadro en la casa de mi abuelos que casi no podía recordar. ¿Era este, dorado y con una madera terciada detrás, el que alguna vez había tenido una pintura de algo así como unos pajes de una corte de, no sé, el siglo XVIII? ¿El que nos habíamos llevado y convertido en un espejo que le dio un toque de formalidad al comedor hasta que se rompió y ahí quedó?
Sí, creo que sí. No dejé que nadie lo tirara, pero primero casi lo tiro yo. Traté. En plena mudanza, la mudanza en que dejábamos una casa donde habíamos vivido 30 años, dije “esto ya fue” y lo llevé al container. No lo tiré adentro: lo puse suavemente a un costado. Por si alguien apreciaba el trabajo del marco e, incluso, la madera de atrás con su formita.
Lo dejé, entré, caminé todo el largo pasillo, agarré otra caja. Y mmm… no. Salí, fui al container, me alivié porque nadie había descubierto esa joya todavía, lo tomé y me fui para adentro, de lo más satisfecha. Ahí estaba mi vida, la casa de mis abuelos, aquel cumpleaños del que todavía tengo fotos, en el que bailábmos “lento” con los brazos estirados con varones que eran más petisos que nosotras. ¿Te acordás?

No sé si le pasa a todos, pero yo extraño. A medida que corren -vuelan- los años, a medida que la gente que formó el paisaje de nuestra vida va desapareciendo, cuando la abuela que no se iba a morir nunca -tenía 97- un día se fue, cuando tantos amigos se enfermaron y se murieron, cuando todo el mundo alrededor es joven, extraño. ME extraño, me siento extraña. Crecí en la convicción de que todo se podía solucionar: la muerte no estaba en el menú y no sé bien con qué se traga. La muerte, que sea tan definitiva, me da como una desesperación seca. Uno sabe que es así pero algo en el pecho oprime. Se rebela.
Sin embargo, creo que le encontré la vuelta. Bah, creo que la vida me trajo una vuelta sin que yo hubiera hecho nada en especial: mérito de ella.
Y para contar qué pasó me remito a algo que me dijo una amiga hace unos años. Hablábamos de una mujer muy querida, que parecía no poder desprenderse de su mamá. En los últimos años, la mamá había vivido con ella y su marido, en el cuarto de al lado. Cuando la mamá murió, la hija no logró desarmar el cuarto. Se habían ido a vivir muy lejos, y los hijos de la hija estaban cada uno en otro país: nietos de temporada, con muchísima suerte dos veces por año, mucha videollamda y regalitos por Internet.
Yo señalaba eso: “No puede soltar a la madre”. Le ofrecí mil maneras de regalar la cama, las mesitas de luz “de estilo”, el dressoir. Pero nada, ella siempre tenía una excusa para no moverlos de ahí.
Mi amiga, entonces, entendió algo: “Es que en otra situación ese cuarto hubiera sido reemplazado por uno para los nenes, con juguetes, otros muebles, pero con nietos lejos…”
Sin nietos “abajo” ella seguía pegada a su mamá, “arriba”. Pegada a lo que fue, pegada al pasado. No está bien ni mal, pero no ayuda a que se pase la nostalgia.

Esto que cuento estaba como background, como algo escuchado y olvidado. Pasaron los años: siete, ocho. Murió mi papá, de repente, sin aviso. Sin entender que tenía algo que ver con lo que había dicho mi amiga, me llevé sus remeras para mi nieto, que es grande como era mi papá. Y me llevé para él un buzo rojo que decía “Estambul” que mi papá se había comprado, como una ironía, çuando, a fin de pandemia, se quedó varado en Turquía y la pasó muy mal: estaba solo, tenía 78 años, hablaba un inglés precario y no sabía cuándo ni para dónde iba a poder arrancar. El día que vi aparecer a mi nieto, hermoso y alegre, con ese buzo, algo se acomodó. Pero no lo supe hasta ahora.
Entonces vino la mudanza, ese juez cruel que te pone a decidir qué sigue con vos y qué se queda. Me traje el marco a la casa nueva, ya lo dije.
¿Dónde lo iba a meter? Di unas vueltas por el patio.. colgué el marco solo detrás de una planta, dándole a la planta, en ese acto, el carácter de obra de arte… ¿o no?
Eso ya mejoró las cosas. El marco de mis abuelos era completamente otra cosa y, a la vez, seguía ahí: uno tiene historia, no cae de un árbol, y esas pequeñas marcas de alguna manera lo sostienen.

Pero lo mejor vino después. A mi nieta de 7 le gusta pintar. Así que un día le mostré la madera terciada y le pregunté si le parecía un buen soporte para sus cuadros. Desplegó sus acrílicos, sus colores. Lo vio de otra manera y lo colocó al revés: yo hubiera dicho que estaba patas para arriba pero me callé la boca, la que pintaba, la que miraba, era ella. Que nunca había visto a los pajes.
Mi nieta hizo de la madera una mariposa de colores. Le llevó un rato, no terminó, dijo “sigo después” y por ahora no siguió, pero ya le da alegría a mi escritorio. Lo veo y veo sus manos, su gesto a la vez concentrado y feliz cuando agarra el pincel y va sobre el tarrito de pintura. Y, a la vez, esa casa, ese living, los gorditos que nos abrazaban de lejos en los lentos, gotitas de una vida que se fue haciendo hasta llegar hasta acá… y sigue.

Ese es mi remedio contra la nostalgia: el futuro. El amor, claro, y ese futuro que no empuja a lo que fue, a lo que fui, a los que amé, ni queda aplastado bajo su peso, sino que se toma de todo eso para cambiar, para seguir, para hacerse.
Porque no nos hacemos desde la nada. Puede ser que, como decía el Flaco Spinetta, mañana es mejor, pero mañana está hecho de mucho ayer y mucho hoy. Y así sigo extrañando, pero es más dulce.
Recuerdos,Marco,Nostalgia

Why an unverified Iran drone tip prompted FBI alerts to California law enforcement

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An FBI advisory referencing an unverified tip about a potential Iranian drone concept off the California coast circulated to multiple California law enforcement agencies — only to be forcefully downplayed by the White House hours later.
The advisory, distributed through federal security channels, referenced intelligence suggesting Iran had «aspired» to launch unmanned aerial systems from a vessel offshore. The email did not identify specific targets, dates or operational details.
The advisory was shared with California state officials and forwarded to local law enforcement agencies, according to reporting by the San Francisco Chronicle, including police departments in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and Berkeley. Local officials emphasized there was no indication of a specific or imminent threat but confirmed they were coordinating with federal partners.
DHS SHUTDOWN MAY DELAY US TERROR RESPONSE AMID IRAN CONFLICT, EXPERT WARNS
FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson posted the alert to X Thursday, which he said went to joint terrorism task force partners.
«We recently acquired unverified information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event of U.S. strikes on Iran,» the alert said, according to Williamson. «We have no additional information.»
After reports about the advisory surfaced publicly, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized the coverage.

«This post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people,» Leavitt wrote.
She said the reporting was based on «one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip,» adding: «No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did.»
California Gov. Gavin Newsom similarly said there was no verified threat to the state and that officials remained in communication with federal authorities as a precaution.
Former Department of Homeland Security official Tom Warrick said the wording of the advisory suggests the intelligence likely reflected aspirational discussion rather than operational planning.
FBI RAISES COUNTERTERROR TEAMS TO HIGH ALERT AMID IRAN TENSIONS
«When you see the word ‘unverified,’ that generally means this is aspirational,» Warrick said.
He emphasized that advisories of this kind are not routine occurrences, but during periods of heightened tensions — particularly involving Iran — federal authorities may err on the side of caution.
«It’s not a regular occurrence,» Warrick said. «But given the war with Iran, and given Iran’s known tendencies, it’s only prudent for the FBI to put out a notice to local law enforcement to be aware that this is what we know — but this is all we know.»

Warrick said such reporting often stems from intercepted communications in which foreign actors discuss potential attack concepts without evidence of capability or follow-through.
«Somehow the United States picked up information of Iranians talking to each other — who probably have some affiliation to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Quds Force — talking about, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to launch a drone attack on California?’» Warrick said, describing what he believes likely triggered the alert. «That’s where we are.»
He stressed that distributing such intelligence allows local authorities to connect suspicious activity — such as unusual drone purchases or maritime behavior — with broader federal reporting.
NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT URGES DHS TO RAISE TERROR THREAT LEVEL, WARNS OF SLEEPER CELL RISKS IN US
At the same time, Warrick drew a distinction between large-scale military drone strikes and smaller improvised threats.
«We’re not talking about launching Shaheds at California. That’s not feasible,» he said.
«Using small-scale hobby drones to carry out a terrorist attack has always been a concern of homeland security,» he added. «That threat already exists.»
Current federal law limits the authority to actively disable or intercept drones to specific federal agencies, including the Department of War and Department of Homeland Security. State and local law enforcement agencies generally lack independent authority to jam or seize unmanned aerial systems without federal coordination.
Some state and local officials have in recent years pushed Congress to expand counter-drone authority beyond federal agencies, arguing that the proliferation of small drones has outpaced existing legal frameworks.
IRAN’S DRONE SWARMS CHALLENGE US AIR DEFENSES AS TROOPS IN MIDDLE EAST FACE RISING THREATS
While Warrick framed the advisory as precautionary, Iran specialists say the broader concept referenced in the alert is not entirely imaginary — though executing such an operation would be complex.
Michael Eisenstadt, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said Iran has experimented with sea-based launch concepts in the past, including containerized missile systems deployed from modified merchant vessels.
«The idea is something they’ve clearly thought about,» Eisenstadt said. «They’ve demonstrated elements of this concept before.»
However, he cautioned that projecting such capability across the globe and positioning assets close enough to the U.S. coastline to make an operational difference would be difficult.
«To get it across the globe and close enough off the coast of California to make a difference — I’m pretty sure we track pretty closely ships coming out of Iran,» he said, adding that such an operation would likely be «a little too complicated for them to do at this point.»
Eisenstadt agreed that describing the advisory as aspirational was likely accurate.
«I think that’s probably correct,» he said.
He also questioned whether a direct drone strike on U.S. territory would align with Iran’s historical escalation patterns.

«If they were to retaliate on the homeland, it would more likely involve inspired or commissioned attacks,» he said, rather than a complex maritime drone launch.
California drones
Drone-related activity has drawn scrutiny along the West Coast in recent years, though analysts caution against drawing a direct connection between prior incidents and the unverified tip referenced in the advisory.
In 2019, multiple U.S. Navy destroyers operating near the Channel Islands off the coast of California reported encounters with groups of unidentified unmanned aerial systems during training operations.
Navy documents later released through the Freedom of Information Act showed that some incidents were assessed as potential surveillance activity, while others were attributed to commercial or hobbyist operators. In several cases, the operator was never definitively identified.
More recently, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, confirmed multiple instances of unmanned aerial systems entering restricted airspace in late 2024, though officials said those incursions did not impact operations and were not assessed to pose an immediate threat.

Security analysts say the proliferation of inexpensive drone technology has complicated airspace monitoring near both civilian and military facilities, a broader backdrop against which even low-confidence intelligence may prompt precautionary alerts.
The FBI and Coast Guard could not immediately be reached for additional comment.
