FBI has seized a rare 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR roadster from a drug ring with alleged ties to Ryan Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder who is now one of the FBI’s 10 most-wanted fugitives.
One of just six CLK GTR roadsters ever built, FBI estimate this sought-after hypercar to be worth $13 million today’s marketplace – nearly two years after one of these impressive CLK GTRs sold for $10.2 million at RM Sotheby’s auction in Las Vegas on 17 November 2023.
“Once a Canadian Olympic snowboarder, Wedding turned to a life of crime as a transnational narcotics trafficker. According to a new indictment announced last week, Wedding is accused of ordering the murder of a federal witness before he could testify against Wedding,” FBI said in a statement.
This announcement comes weeks after the U.S. Government upped the reward for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Ryan James Wedding to $15 million.

Excluding two prototypes, just twenty-six (26) versions of the roadgoing CLK GTR were produced between 1998 and 2006, including 20 coupés and 6 of these GTR roadsters.
The CLK GTR is powered by 6.9-litre V12 which makes just over 600 horses and 572 torque. Thanks to its aerodynamically adapted race car-like silhoutte, the CLK GTR needs only 3.8 seconds to dart to 62 mph from rest onto a top speed of 214mph.

War: Your missiles can’t stop mass Iranian drones – Zelenskyy warns Trump
President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that large numbers of Iranian drones cannot be effectively countered with Patriot missile systems alone.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
According to him, the cost and production time of the missiles make it difficult to compete with mass-produced drones.
In an interview with the New York Post, Zelenskyy explained that a single Iranian “Shahed” drone is significantly cheaper than a Patriot interceptor missile, making it impractical to rely solely on such systems against large-scale drone attacks.
According to him, even thousands of Patriot missiles would not be enough to stop tens of thousands of drones, as the drones are far cheaper and easier to produce.
“Thousands of Patriot missiles cannot stop tens of thousands of Iranian “shaheds.” One such drone is forty times cheaper than a single Patriot missile. Therefore, in terms of production time and the cost of missiles, it is impossible to compete with drones. There simply will not be enough capacity,” Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy added that Ukraine has developed extensive air defense experience during the war with Russia, noting that the country now possesses most components of a comprehensive air defense system, except anti-ballistic capabilities.
He stated that the United States has strong anti-ballistic systems and suggested that combining Ukraine’s air defense experience with US capabilities could help create a more effective system capable of protecting countries facing large-scale aerial threats.
Zelenskyy also warned that drone technology is evolving rapidly and that their operational range could expand significantly in the future.
The Ukrainian leader proposed a partnership between the United States and Ukraine focused on exchanging technology, experience and security cooperation to counter emerging threats.

Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries – OPEC+ raises oil quotas amid Middle East tension
Key members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, jointly known as OPEC+, on Sunday announced a higher-than-expected increase in production quotas following United States and Israeli strikes on Iran, which triggered retaliation by Tehran across the Middle East.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The eight-member V8 (Voluntary Eight) group within the alliance, which includes major oil producers Saudi Arabia and Russia, as well as several Gulf states affected by Tehran’s missile strikes, said it had agreed to a “production adjustment” of 206,000 barrels per day.
“This adjustment will be implemented in April,” the group said in a statement, according to a report by AFP. Nigeria is also a strong member of OPEC.
The statement did not directly reference the outbreak of conflict involving Iran, instead citing “a steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals” as justification for the increase.
Before the weekend meeting, analysts had projected a more modest rise of 137,000 barrels per day. However, Jorge Leon, an analyst at Rystad Energy, cautioned that the agreed increase might not be sufficient to prevent the Iran conflict from triggering a spike in oil prices when trading resumes on Monday.
Leon pointed to the possibility of Iran targeting the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which nearly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil supply passes, in retaliation.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have reportedly contacted vessels to announce that the strait is closed. On Sunday, Iranian state television reported that an oil tanker in the strait was struck while allegedly attempting to “illegally” pass through and was sinking. Footage aired by the broadcaster showed a tanker ablaze at sea.
“If oil cannot move through Hormuz, an extra 206,000 barrels per day does very little to ease the market,” Leon said, adding that “logistics and transit risk matter more than production targets right now.”
He said the OPEC+ decision “is unlikely to calm markets.”
“Prices will respond to developments in the Gulf and the status of shipping flows, not to a relatively small increase in output,” he added.
Apart from Russia and Saudi Arabia, the V8 group within OPEC+ comprises Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, all of which were targeted by Iranian attacks for a second consecutive day on Sunday. Algeria and Kazakhstan are also members of the group.

BREAKING: Has Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Been Killed in Drone Airstrike? Fact Emerges
On February 28, an X account named ReversingTrend posted: “Initial reports indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was killed by an Iranian drone strike inside his residence in Tel Aviv.”....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The post quickly gained traction, recording 954,000 views, 1,100 retweets, and 7,700 likes.
Factcheck Africa tool confirmed that the claim was false. Multiple reliable sources confirmed that Benjamin Netanyahu was alive and continued to serve as the Prime Minister of Israel.
See the X post
below:
Further checks by Legit Nigeria showed that his profile entry on Israel’s official website listed his birthdate and current position with no mention of his death. The International Criminal Court (ICC) page also confirmed his status, noting that an arrest warrant was issued against him on November 21, 2024. The existence of this warrant implied that he was alive and subject to ongoing legal proceedings.
The evidence showed that Benjamin Netanyahu had not been killed in a drone strike. He remained in office as Prime Minister of Israel, and no credible reports supported the claim of his death. The viral post was therefore misleading, spreading false information about a sitting world leader.
Verdict
: False – Benjamin Netanyahu was not killed in a drone strike. He was alive and serving as Prime Minister of Israel at the time of the claim.
Who is Benjamin Netanyahu?
According to Israel government, Benjamin Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv and grew up in Jerusalem. His high school years were spent in the United States, where his father, the historian Benzion Netanyahu, taught and conducted historical research. Returning to Israel in 1967, Mr. Netanyahu enlisted in the IDF and served as a soldier and officer in Sayeret Matkal, a special unit of the Israeli army. He took part in several operations, including the rescue of hostages in a hijacked Sabena airplane in 1972. In the same year, he was cited for outstanding operational command by General Mordechai Gur, Chief of Israel’s Northern Command. After his discharge from the IDF in 1972, Mr. Netanyahu served in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and was promoted after the war to the rank of captain in the Reserves.
Netanyahu received a B.Sc. degree in Architecture and an M.Sc. in Business Management from MIT. He also studied political science at MIT and at Harvard University.
Business
Experience Between 1976 and 1982 Mr. Netanyahu worked in the private sector, first with the Boston Consulting Group, an international business consultancy, and then as Marketing Director of Rim Industries in Jerusalem, an industrialized furniture manufacturer.
According to IndiaTimes, Trump described Khamenei as “one of the most evil people in history” and said he was tracked using “highly sophisticated tracking systems.” He called the strike “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country.”
