Benjamin Hall of Fox News injured in Ukraine

Fox News journalist Benjamin Hall has been injured in Ukraine covering the Russian invasion. His condition, that is, the extent of his injuries, is currently unknown. The attack reportedly took place in a non-military area, but the Russians apparently are not differentiating between military areas and civilian areas.

The attack took place just prior to 2 p.m. Eastern time. 

'Ben is hospitalized and our teams on the ground are working to gather additional information as the situation quickly unfolds,' Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement.

"Earlier today, our correspondent Benjamin Hall was injured while news-gathering outside of Kyiv in Ukraine," Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. "We have a minimal level of details right now, but Ben is hospitalized and our teams on the ground are working to gather additional information as the situation quickly unfolds."

Hall was in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine that is currently surrounded by Russian troops in an attempt to capture the city. 

Hall has three young daughters, according to Fox News.

Other journalists from Fox News remain in Ukraine to report on the war.

"The safety of our entire team of journalists in Ukraine and the surrounding regions is our top priority and of the utmost importance," Scott continued. "This is a stark reminder for all journalists who are putting their lives on the line every day to deliver the news from a war zone."

On Sunday, Brett Renaud, a former New York Times contributor, was killed on the outskirts of Kyiv in Irpin and two other journalists riding with him in a vehicle were wounded.

"We will update everyone as we know more," Scott said. "Please keep Ben and his family in your prayers."

Fox News host John Roberts broke the news. “A Fox News journalist has been injured while news-gathering outside of Kyiv. Very few details, but teams on the ground are working as hard as they can to try to gather more information,” he said. “A reminder, of course, this is in a war zone, that information changes very quickly and we are working as hard as possible to get the best information we that we possibly can and get all the details on what has happened.”

Roberts was clearly emotional and it could be heard in his voice.

Following a commercial break, co-anchor Sandra Smith returned with Roberts and told viewers, “We’re all praying for Ben.” And Roberts noted, “we don't know the extent of his injuries yet, but we are all praying for him and for his family that he comes back to us.”

The injuries appear to be damage to both his legs, but this is all the information the network could provide.

ISIS bride and 3 time loser wants to come to America

Would vote for Ilhan Omar

Syria -- She called for the death of Americans and when asked about it she said, "No comment." She married a total of 3 ISIS jihadis; all were killed by U.S.-led forces. Her name is  Hoda Muthana,  she was born in New Jersey, lived in Alabama, joined ISIS and now she wants to return to the United States. Except her father was a diplomat which means she isn't a U.S. citizen.

She is now living in a crap hole camp in Northern Syria – and Benjamin Hall of Fox News tracked her down.

“I just want to go back home,” the cute terrorist said and laughed inappropriately. “I want my son to see my family, I want him to be safe in Syria. It’s not safe here, no matter what my government tells me.”

It isn't your government.

But Muthana is not and has never been a U.S. citizen. Her father was a Yemeni diplomat at the time of her birth which means that she doesn't have to answer to the U.S. Constitution because under the law, she's Yemini.

Her lawyer is fighting this fact.

President Trump and secretary of State Mike Pompeo have each said she isn't welcome. In February, Trump tweeted that he instructed Pompeo to not “allow Hoda Muthana back into the country.” Screw her and the camel she tried to run in on.

While she was with ISIS,  she was a spokesterrorist for the group, calling for Americans to be killed.

“Americans wake up! Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping! Go on drive-bys and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriot, Memorial etc Day parades..go on drive by’s + spill all of their blood or rent a big truck n drive all over them. Kill them,” she tweeted last month in a post that has since been taken down.

She now claims ISIS took over her Twitter account, and with therapy, she could put aside her blatant hatred for Americans and all other infidels, 'especially those Joooze,' and become a model citizen.

“Before I came, I’ve never done any crime and I’m sure I’m not going to be doing any crimes in the future,” she claimed, “and I know I’ve come to Syria and look like I am a supporter of the worst terror group in history.”

Because she is a supporter.

Muthana  claims she was radicalized online. A shy unassuming, sweet young terrorist, she began living a double life on social media after being given a smart phone at 18.

In 2014, ISIS was ascendant, committing horrible atrocities, enslaving, raping women, beheading and stoning people, conquering vast areas of territory. It eventually ruled over 8 million people. Muthana, then 19, was was seduced by the beheadings and stonings and went to join them.

“I didn’t hate America” she laughed as she lied to Fox News. “I didn’t hate anything. I just thought it was obligatory – when I started practicing I was very scared of the concept of hellfire. The Qu'ran told me to go.”

Books don't talk. She decided on her own that killing infidels was her ticket into Jannah, or paradise.

She took some money earmarked for college, and got on a plane to Turkey, from where she was smuggled across the border to Syria. It was only then that she turned on a phone and called home – telling her mother she was with the terror group.

They have always condemned her move. She said she was ‘brainwashed.”

The thing is, if you're brainwashed, you don't know you're brainwashed.

Once in the ISIS capital of Raqqa – she was held in a locked house for women until marrying. Her first husband, Suhan Rahman, was a well-known Australian fighter who was killed in battle.

She went on to marry two more scumcrumpets – both who were also killed in battle. Turns out they were lousy jihadis.

Muthana had a little jihadi boy who’s now 19 months old. In the early days of the caliphate, life was a terrorist's dream: she was able get food, and fully embrace the ideology of a world caliphate with its carnage, raping, burning and beheading.

But as the U.S.-led coalition began to tighten the noose, ISIS began to lose the fight and even food started to become scarce.

When President Trump took office, he told the U.S. military to take the gloves off and kick some terrorist butt. Soon the airstrikes picked up and the poor ISIS families were moved from one town to another. They eventually ended up in the town of Baghouz, where they made their last stand and got their butts kicked even more.

Hall writes that every ISIS member he speaks to regrets their decision, but acknowledges the reason--they lost, we won.
