[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Commander of Kabul Garrison Command General Murad Ali has urged the international community to increase pressures on countries which are supporting terrorism.
Speaking during a presser in Kabul, Gen. Murad said terrorism is a regional and international phenomenon, emphasizing that the international community should unite in the fight against terrorism and increase pressures on countries supporting the terror groups.
Gen. Murad further added that the ongoing conflict has been imposed on Afghanistan and the Afghans are in the frontline of the fight against terrorism.
This comes as the Afghan and U.S. officials have long been claiming that the Death Eater and terrorist groups, particularly the Taliban ...Arabic for students... and the notorious Haqqani terrorist network, use their safe havens in Pakistain to plan and coordinate attacks in Afghanistan.
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... the Pak officials have repeatedly rejected the claims of the Afghan and U.S. officials.
In the meantime, Gen. Murad hailed the national defense and security forces for their efforts in maintaining better security during the Day of Ashura.

How about cleaning up your own mess?
Oh, and keep your polio at home!
At least 349 civilians have been killed in Yemen's Houthi-held city of Hodeidah since June 13 when Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Yemeni government forces launched an offensive to retake the strategic seaport.
Citing numbers collated by the monitoring group, ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Event Data), Save the Children said on Monday that Hodeidah accounted for 51 percent of all civilian casualties between June and the end of August.
At least 685 civilians had been killed across the country during that period, the organization added.
Fighting in Hodeidah - the main gateway for imports of relief supplies and commercial goods into the country - escalated on June 13 when the Saudi-UAE alliance launched a wide-ranging operation to retake the city from the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... rebels.
Riyadh and Abu Dhabi see Hodeidah as the main entry point for weapons for the Houthis and have accused their regional rival Iran of sending missiles to the rebels, a charge Tehran has denied.
In the first five months of this year, there were an average 44 civilian casualties every month in Hodeidah.

They're civilians if their bodies are found without a weapon.
[AlMasdar] A German court sentenced a Syrian national to life in prison on Monday after he was found to have committed war crimes in his native country.
According to the official website of the Dusseldorf Court, the judge sentenced the Syrian national, Ibrahim A., 43, to life in prison for the war crimes he committed during his stint as a militia commander in northern Syria.
"As a commander he used lawlessness resulting from chaos of the civil war and his de facto control of parts of Aleppo for criminal gains, plundering and kidnapping people whom he tortured or allowed to be tortured by his militiamen," the statement read.
Sputnik News reported that the convict amassed a fortune by claiming ransom, Sherlocks found. He was enjugged Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! in Germany after a survivor recognized him.
Ibrahim denies the charges. The court said the sentence can be appealed.
Bless their dear little hearts! May they all have much joy from it.
[IsraelTimes] EU to set up legal entity allowing European businesses to continue trading with Tehran while avoiding penalties from US aimed at pressuring Islamic Theocratic Republic
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... said Monday its members would set up a payment system to allow oil companies and businesses to continue trading with Iran in a bid to evade sanctions after the US withdrew from a nuclear agreement.

I'm aware that 'bless their hearts' is a cute Southern coquilism meant to diplomatically couch disagreement with one's opinions. It's always irritated me, for some reason; haughty, perhaps, as if John Kerry grew up sucking on mint juleps or something. I'm a proponent of more direct and unambiguous speech, like 'suck on my big hairy donkey balls, you're about to get nailed in the ass and love it like the French philosophers you are, and hope you love the bill for NATO I'm gonna shove up your ass next month', cuz that's what's gonna happen. Granted it's crude, but unmistakable in intent, though probably more Philly than Boston...

I wonder what blackmail fodder the Iranians have on the EUSSR politburo?
The same question should be asked about the US political class. The Iran Review Act passed with an overwhelming majority in Congress; only one Senator voted nay.
This vote was the a de facto ratification of the Iran deal with not really plausible deniability.
The only material disadvantage compared to real ratification was the President's prerogative to withdraw from the deal without Congressional approval.
But then, Trump wasn't supposed to happen.
The US political class played a charade, knowing that their political consensus was unpopular among the electorate.

The US Department of the Treasury is the most sophisticated intelligence operation we have. To think that somehow European companies can avoid its overview and trade with Iran without consequence is absurd. The big European companies know it, and have already left Iran.
[ARABNEWS] French state-owned bank Bpifrance has abandoned its plan to set up a mechanism to aid French companies trading with Iran, in the face of US sanctions against Tehran.
Earlier this year, the bank had said it was working on a project to finance French companies that wished to export goods to Iran despite US sanctions.
"It’s put on hold," said Nicolas Dufourcq, Bpifrance’s chief executive. "Conditions are not met (...) Sanctions are punitive for companies."
Bpifrance was working on establishing euro-denominated export guarantees to Iranian buyers of French goods and services. By structuring the financing through vehicles without any US link, Bpifrance thought it was possible to avoid the extraterritorial reach of US legislation.
Dufourcq’s latest comments show how the scope of the sanctions is making trade with Iran increasingly difficult for European companies.

[PRESSTV] In a highly controversial move, Italia’s government has issued a hard-line security decree that will make it easier to expel refugees and strip them of Italian citizenship.
Italia’s far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said on his Facebook page that the Italian council of ministers had unanimously approved of the plan on Monday.
The new bill is "a step forward to make Italia safer," he said, adding that it would help Italia "be stronger in the fight against the mafia and [people] smugglers, reduce the costs of excessive immigration ... and give the police greater powers."
The so-called "Salvini Decree" also stipulates six criteria based on which asylum seekers can be awarded humanitarian protection, a provisional status and a lower level of asylum based on Italian rather than international law.
Among the criteria was urgent medical need or whether the applicant was the victim of a natural disaster, according to Salvini.
The Italian minister further said those seeking refugee status would have their requests suspended if they were "considered socially dangerous or convicted in the first instance" of crimes, while their applications were processed.
Salvini claimed that the decree streamlined the rules for processing asylum requests and brought Italia into line with other EU countries.
Italia’s parliament has 60 days to vote the bill into law.
The controversial bill has been heavily criticized in recent weeks, including by members of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement which governs in coalition with Salvini's far-right League.
Salvini, who is also deputy prime minister, has adopted a hard-line stance on immigration and refugees since the coalition came to power in June, refusing to allow ships carrying refugees and asylum seekers rescued in the Mediterranean to dock at Italian ports.
Last month, Rome refrained from letting a group of refugees disembark from a coastguard ship, until other EU states agreed to accept some of them.
Salvini, known for his tough stance on immigration, has said that Italia "cannot take one more" asylum seeker.

[DAWN] When some 146 world leaders gather at the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... General Assembly in New York this week, they are expected to discuss issues of international peace and security as several conflicts from Syria to Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... rage on, defying any resolution.
The Pak delegation will be led by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi who arrives in New York, which houses the UN headquarters, from Washington on Sunday night. It will be the new Pak government’s first senior level interaction with the United Nations.
However, women are made to be loved, not understood... the much-heralded India-Pakistain foreign ministers’ meeting was called off by New Delhi citing an incident in occupied Kashmire.
According to Pak officials, a busy programme awaits the foreign minister who will attend at least 40 events and hold about two dozen bilateral meetings.
The highlight of his visit will, of course, be his speech in the General Assembly on Sept 29 in which he will set out the new government’s priorities and its position and policy on key international and regional issues including the situation in occupied Jammu and Kashmire, particularly in the light of UN Human Rights Council’s report which has cited India of violations. New Delhi bristles at the mention of Indian Kashmiree and human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... violations there.
Pakistain’s foreign minister is expected to deliver his speech in Urdu language.

[DAWN] The Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. High Court (PHC) on Monday granted bail to two men suspected to be involved in the murder of Charnjeet Singh, a social activist and prominent member of the Sikh community in Peshawar.
Singh had been on his way home from his shop when faceless myrmidonsshot up him, killing him on the spot. The attackers immediately fled after having committed the crime.
The incident had occurred in the Scheme Chowk area on Kohat Road within the limits of Inquilab cop shoppe.
The Sikh activist had been murdered on May 29, subsequently, two men ‐ Shehryar and Tariq ‐ were tossed in the clink Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! on June 14 and 21, respectively. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... police have not been able to prove the charges levelled against the suspects.
While speaking to media following the Monday's hearing, the defendants' lawyer said Singh's family did not record any statement against them and thus the court has given the orders for Tariq and Shehryar on bail.

[DAWN] Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, while commenting on recent inflammatory remarks made by the Indian army chief, on Monday said that Pakistain and India can either "infiltrate and weaken each other" or "try to convince each other".
He asserted that no discussion between Pakistain and India would be carried out without the mention of Kashmire, "which has always been the bone of contention between India and Pakistain".
"One way to go about this issue is to infiltrate each other's country and weaken it. But a better way to do this is to try and convince each other [towards peace]," the information minister said while pointing out that the two countries have been fighting fruitlessly for the past 70 years.
"Prime Minister Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... 's vision is to provide better living opportunities for the people of Pakistain and India, and bring them above the poverty line. Everyone knows that countries do not succeed, it's the regions which do," Chaudhry said.
"The China-Pakistain Economic Corridor will bring an economic boom [in the region]. Pakistain finds itself between two big markets ‐ India and China," the minister observed.
"However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... if India continues with this behaviour, we know how to respond in kind," the information minister said while commenting on the recent rise in hostility from the Indian government, which started with the cancellation of a meeting between Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi and his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj.

[PRESSTV] Staff members at the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees (UNRWA) have gone on strike in the besieged Gazoo Strip to protest against job losses and US funding cuts.
Schools, clinics, and food distributions were halted on Monday as UNRWA's 13,000 Paleostinian employees in Gazoo went on a one-day strike.
The strike closed more than 250 UNRWA schools in Gazoo. More than 200,000 Paleostinians attend its schools in the coastal enclave.
Amal al-Batsh, deputy head of the UNRWA Employees Union, said in a statement that a protest took place outside the agency's Gazoo headquarters.
"The strike comes in light of the (UNRWA) administration's lack of responsiveness to the demands of the employees' union and their insistence on not solving their problems," the statement read.
Separately, UNRWA's front man Chris Gunness said the agency regretted the strike. "We regret any action that negatively impacts the services we provide to refugees, particularly in a place like Gazoo where after a more than decade of blockade they have suffered enough."
The UN agency has been suffering from a financial crisis which was exacerbated after the administration of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... decided to cut all support.
UNRWA says the funding deficit caused by the Trump administration's withdrawal of support is so severe cuts are unavoidable. More than 250 jobs have been cut in Gazoo and the West Bank so far, while hundreds of full-time roles have become part-time.

[DAWN] The Kremlin on Monday accused Israeli pilots of "premeditated actions" over the downing of a Russian plane in Syria last week, warning it will harm relations between the two countries.
"According to information of our military experts, the reason (behind the downing) were premeditated actions by Israeli pilots which certainly cannot but harm our relations," Kremlin front man Dmitry Peskov told journalists.
Peskov's remarks followed an announcement by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu that Moscow will be sending an advanced S-300 air defence system to the Syrian military as well as jamming communications of any military planes that attack Syria from over the Mediterranean.
On September 17, a Russian Il-20 plane was hit by a Syrian S-200 air defence missile when it was landing following strikes by Israeli F-16 planes of western Syria. Moscow blamed the friendly fire incident on Israeli pilots using the larger Russian plane as "cover". Peskov said the new measures were decided on to boost the security of its troops in Syria.
"Russia, in this case, is acting in its interests only, these actions are not directed against third countries, but towards defending our own military," he said.
Can’t let their clients take the blame for abject stupidity, so they’ll blame the Jews for drinking the ocean dry. Image of a radar screen at the link with circles and arrows...
[AlMasdar] The Russian Defence Ministry blamed the Israeli Air Force for using a Russia Il-20 plane as cover, spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said at a briefing in Moscow on Monday.
Data captured by Russia’s S-400 system in Syria proves Israeli jets were responsible for the downing the Russian plane, the Defense Ministry said, adding that the Syrian missile changed its course shortly before hitting the Il-20.
Data gleaned from the S-400 air defense system deployed at the Russian Khmeimim air base in Syria’s Latakia province has revealed that the Syrian anti-air missile was, in fact, targeting an Israeli F-16 jet before it abruptly altered its course and eventually hit the Russian aircraft.
This, and the position of all the aircraft at the moment of the September 17 incident, proves that an Israeli jet was de facto using the larger Il-20 as a cover, the Russian Defense Ministry front man, Major General Igor Konashenkov told journalists at Monday’s news briefing.
The radar images revealed at the briefing "clearly showed the direction of the flight of the S-200 missile launched by the Syrian air defense system, as well as the locations of the Russian and Israeli aircraft," Konashenkov said, adding that "it is quite clear that the missile was targeting the Israeli jet."
However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... the missile then suddenly changed its course and "locked on a target with a larger radar cross-section and slower speed," which was the Russian reconnaissance plane coming in for landing.
The Israeli jet, which effectively used the Il-20 as a cover from the attack, then also abruptly changed its altitude and the flight direction, Konashenkov said.

Russians hate to be m-bare-assed and when you have the world's premier scapegoat in the neighborhood, the ass-covering story writes itself.
[ARABNEWS] Swedish truck maker AB Volvo has stopped assembling trucks in Iran because US sanctions are preventing it from being paid, a front man for the company said on Monday.
The sanctions against Iran, reimposed on Aug. 6 by US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... after his decision to pull out of a nuclear deal with Tehran, have forced companies across Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... to reconsider their investments there.
Volvo front man Fredrik Ivarsson said the trucks group could no longer get paid for any parts it shipped and had therefore decided not to operate in Iran in another blow to the country’s car industry, which unlike the energy and banking sectors, had managed to sign contracts with top European firms.
"With all these sanctions and everything that the United States put (in place) ... the bank system doesn’t work in Iran. We can’t get paid ... So for now we don’t have any business (in Iran)," Ivarsson told Rooters by telephone.
Before the sanctions were reimposed, Volvo had expressed an ambition for Iran to become its main export hub for the Gulf region and North Africa markets.
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... has implemented a law to shield its companies, but the sanctions have deterred banks from doing business with Iranian firms as Washington can cut any that facilitate such transactions off from the US financial system.
Volvo was working with Saipa Diesel, part of Iran’s second-largest automaker SAIPA, which was assembling the Swedish firm’s heavy-duty trucks from kits shipped to Iran.

[PRESSTV] Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani says terrorism and its root causes are to blame for the existing crisis across the Middle East and are hindering progress of Moslem countries.
"The threat of terrorism and its root causes such as the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... ideology, which is promoted by certain countries, have caused crisis for the entire region and are a big obstacle in the path of Moslem countries' growth and progress," Shamkhani said in a meeting with Azerbaijan's Interior Minister Ramil Usubov and his accompanying delegation in Tehran on Monday.
He lashed out at the United States and the Israeli regime for pursuing policies aimed at sowing discord among neighboring countries.
"It is necessary to maintain vigilance and increase interactions and constructive dialogues to neutralize destructive efforts by ill-wishers who aim to create skepticism and rift among regional countries," the senior Iranian security official said.
Shamkhani added that illegal sanctions imposed by the United States have been turned into a tool in the hands of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... to take Dire Revenge on opposing countries.
"However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... the past experience has showed that such actions are not effective but only lead to further isolation of the US among the international community," Shamkhani pointed out.
The Azerbaijani minister, for his part, condemned a recent terrorist attack in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz and expressed his sympathy with the Iranian government and people over the bitter incident.
Usubov said Iran and Azerbaijan are facing common threats emanating from the creation of Takfiri terrorist groups and their measures.

[PRESSTV] Lebanese President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... ... says the Tel Aviv regime is attempting to create division in the Middle East, and split the region along social and religious fault lines.
"In the Middle East Israel is trying to carve up the region into a patchwork of secular and religious entities, quasi-states, in a bid to put together a sectarian puzzle," Aoun said in an exclusive interview with French daily newspaper Le Figaro published on Monday.
He then described the Israeli regime as a threat to his country’s illusory sovereignty and blamed it for continuously violating Paleostinian rights.
The Lebanese president also urged Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... to "support Leb’s effort to ensure the safe return of Syrian refugees to their homes," and to "contribute more to the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)."
Aoun further noted that the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has weapons in its possession due to the ongoing Syrian crisis and the status quo of the Middle East region.
"Hezbollah doesn’t play any military role inside Leb, and doesn’t carry out any act of provocation along the border with occupied lands. The party’s arms ownership is linked to the situation in the Middle East and the Syrian conflict," he pointed out.
Aoun also dismissed allegations that Hezbollah had a veto on strategic decisions on the national Lebanese level.

[PRESSTV] Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution ...Iran's doddering head theocrat... Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ...the successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the actual dictator of Iran... says Iran will severely punish those "cowardly" elements who were behind a recent terrorist attack in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting in Tehran on Monday with a group of athletes and medal winners of the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Terrorists on Saturday shot up a crowd of people during a military parade in Ahvaz, killing 25 military personnel and civilians ‐ including women and kiddies ‐ and wounding at least 68 others.
Masses of Iranian people and government officials on Monday participated in a funeral procession for the victims of the terrorist attack in Ahvaz.
Crowds of people and government officials take part in a funeral procession for victims of the recent act of terror in the southwestern city of Ahvaz.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the bitter incident "once again showed that the land of the Medes and the Persians is faced with many enemies on its honorable path to progress and excellence."
Describing the attack on defenseless people as an act of cowardice, the Leader noted, "According to [available] reports, this cowardly act has been perpetrated by the same people who are saved by Americans whenever they face a difficult situation in Iraq and Syria" and whose operations are being financed by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the United Arab Emirates.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei noted that every medal won by Iranian sportsmen and sportswomen makes freedom-seeking nations of the world happy while vexing the arrogant front.
"The arrogant [powers] are angered by victory of the land of the Medes and the Persians in any field. Therefore, your victory is indeed a victory for the [Iranian] nation and a defeat for the extended front of Iran's enemies," the Leader added.

[MEMRI] Abu Abdullah Brittani: "The first time I went into battle, I remember it was shocking, really, because I hadn't seen rockets getting smacked at me and my people before. The force of it, the kabooms, the lights, the sound... But then you get used to it, and it's what you came for, so it's just an internal battle after that, and this is when the famous saying of Jihad of the soul being the greater Jihad... This I when the Jihad of the soul starts, because you not only have to make sure that you're sincere, and keep renewing your intentions, you have to make sure also that you don't have the feeling of too much pride, and too much feeling of being like a superhero, and actually remember there's a reality where you could die. What state are you going to die in? Your friends, your brothers with you could die... Are you going to have to have the cool head to help them out, or are you going to panic? There are other things that need to come to the forefront, not just excitement. But yeah, it was quite exciting at the same time, I'm not going to lie to you. It was enjoyable because we're young men, and we came to fight and this is what we see as our path to Paradise.
"We want to go to Paradise, and when you go to the frontline, you see the bombs and everything, it doesn't really scare you. It makes you happy in a way. There's a mixture of the natural fear, and the happiness to maybe meet Allah, and the black-eyed virgins...
"I cover my face because I'm a cowardly butt weasel at the end of the day, they don't treat mujahideen today... The global community and the media, they don't treat mujahideen today like they used to. They used to say the mujahideen are freedom fighters, whereas today we are considered to be criminals, terrorists, whatever suits their agenda. For me, I know fully well that a lot of oppression is happening against my people and I have to take part in the defense of my people, but the rest of the world isn't going to understand that, so that means I'm going to be limited in my travels, my family may be put under scrutiny, so there's no need to take the risk. I may as well try to stay anonymous, and live as comfortably as possible in all circumstances.
"I feel like in general, Moslems are treated unfairly, so I don't have so much worry about me as an individual, how the system is going to have a stigma against me, and is going to be set up to my disadvantage. But at the end of the day, it's just part of the path. You're fighting a war, and Allah tells us that they are our enemies, the disbelievers, so they're going to always try to make our lives as difficult as possible. We just do what we can. Yeah, I know I'm treated unfairly, but that's life, everyone at some point in their life is treated unfairly."
