[An Nahar] Taliban hard boyz have launched a prolonged attack on a major Afghan army base that was handed over by NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... forces last month, officials said Friday, in another sign the Lions of Islam are on the offensive as foreign troops leave.
Camp Bastion, now know as Shorabak, was Britannia's biggest military base in Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province and was a key airfield for U.S.-led NATO operations in the Taliban heartlands of southern Afghanistan.

[ToloNews] The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) on Friday reported that the Haqqani network's primary base of operations for assembling boom jackets and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) inside Kabul had been discovered. The officials added that the terrorist group is too weak to confront the Afghan cops on the battlefield and so has resorted increasingly to attacks in cities aimed at causing high civilian casualties and instilling fear among the general public.
According to sources at the intelligence directorate, the explosives assembly center discovered in Kabul was located in PD8. In addition, several foreign nationals were said to have been tossed in the slammer Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! in connection to the recent spate of suicide kabooms around the country over the past three days.
One of the men arrested is reportedly named Sifatullah, who was ordered by Sher Khan Mangal to oversee the construction of suicide jackets and magnetic mines in Kabul. Sher Khan Mangal is thought to be the head of the intelligence wing of the Haqqani network, based in Pakistain, but operating inside Afghanistan.
"The covert soldiers of the National Directorate of Security during their targeted and special operations succeeded in dismantling several terrorist networks including Haqqani network's suicide jacket and mine-making center," NDS front man Haseeb Sediqi said on Friday.
A recent wave of attacks in various cities around the country have raised concerns about deteriorating security. However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... the NDS maintains that 97 percent of planned attacks have been thwarted. "On average, out of 100 operations and attacks of the enemies only three of them are implemented and the remaining 97 percent are foiled," Sediqi said.
According to Sediqi, the explosives cache dissevered in Kabul was located in the Takrakhail area of the Deh Sabz district. Two men were arrested in connection two it.
The NDS made a point of highlighting that the tactics of the Haqqani network, which claims to be fighting Jihad yet targets innocent civilians in order to foment fear, are fundamentally against human values, Afghan culture and most importantly Islamic teachings.
[ToloNews] During Friday prayers in Khogyani district of eastern Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province explosives detonated inside a mosque injuring 34 civilians, according to local officials.
Security officials said that the explosives were placed inside the mosque, leaving six of the 34 injured at death's door.
This is not the first time that a mosque was the sight of a bombing. Months ago in the province of Pashtun-infested Logar, provincial Governor Arsala Jamla was killed in a mosque where the explosive was hidden inside the Holy Koran.
The Taliban in a statement denied responsibility for the attack on the mosque in Nangarhar.
[An Nahar] A French-Moroccan youth has been locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! for two years for "advocating terrorism" by flying what looked liked the black flag of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... jihadist group, a news website said Friday
Abdelmalik el-Makrini, 18, was on holiday in Morocco when he was incarcerated I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! in August for flying a flag on which is written "There is no god but God, and Mohammed is his prophet," the Tel Quel site said.
The IS banner carries the first half of what is the Moslem testament of faith, written in white, and a white circle with the words "God, Messenger, Mohammed" said to have been the Prophet Mohammed's seal.
The youth, who normally lives in northern La Belle France, disputed the claim that this flag was being used to rally people to the jihadist group, which has proclaimed an Islamic "caliphate" in territory it controls in Iraq and Syria.
His family pointed out that these flags are freely sold in La Belle France and carried during marches and sit-ins.
Tel Quel quoted Makrini's lawyer, Mohammed Kotaya, as saying he would appeal the verdict, handed down Thursday in Sale, near Rabat.
Moroccan news agency MAP said another 12 people had also been tried on terrorism-related charges in Sale.
One of them, accused of joining IS to take part in jihad, was locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! for four years for having formed a group to carry out terrorist acts.
Rabat is deeply concerned about the more than 2,000 Moroccans, including those with dual nationality, that have joined such groups as IS.
In September, the government approved a draft law to tighten anti-terrorist legislation, aimed particularly at stopping people from joining jihadist groups.
Last month, it beefed up security measures against what it called the "serious terrorist threat."
Earlier this month, police arrested five people in the southern city of Marrakesh on suspicion of seeking to join jihadists in Iraq and Syria and of aiding terrorist activities.

[An Nahar] A Libyan commander in the forces of prominent anti-Islamist general Khalifa Haftar ... served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... has been assassinated in the eastern city of Ajdabiya, military sources said Friday.
"General Abdelmajid al-Zwei was killed on Thursday night by three gunnies," Colonel Ahmed al-Mesmari, front man for Haftar's forces, told AFP.
He said that Zwei, who was also a relative of retired general Haftar, had shot up his assailants, one of whom was maimed and later died of his injuries.
A medical source confirmed the two deaths.
Islamist turbans frequently target army officers in restive eastern Libya, where Haftar has been waging a government-backed campaign against militias to wrest back control of Libya's second city of Benghazi.
At least 356 people have been killed since the offensive was launched in October, according to medical and security sources.

Gunmen in a car shot dead an Egyptian army colonel and wounded two soldiers outside a hotel in eastern Cairo on Friday, security officials said, Al Arabia reported.
The identity of the assailants was not clear, but militants have killed scores of policemen and soldiers since the army overthrew Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July last year.
The group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, has also carried out attacks in Cairo and the Nile Valley, including an attempted assassination of the interior minister last year with a car bomb.

Muzzie Brotherhood started it all off with Sadat. Ergo, no love lost between the military and MB.
[An Nahar] At least 120 people were killed and 270 others maimed on Friday when two jacket wallahs blew themselves up and gunnies opened fire during weekly prayers at the mosque of one of Nigeria's top Islamic leaders.
The attack at the Grand Mosque in Kano, the biggest city in the mainly Moslem north of the country, came just as Friday prayers had started.
The mosque is attached to the palace of the Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II, Nigeria's second most senior Moslemholy man, who last week urged civilians to take up arms against Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
The blasts came after a kaboom was foiled against a mosque in the northeastern city of Maiduguri earlier on Friday, five days after two female suicide bombers killed over 45 people in the city.
National police front man Emmanuel Ojukwu told AFP that the bombers blew themselves up in quick succession then "gunnies opened fire on those who were trying to escape".
Ojukwu said he did not know whether the suicide bombers were male or female, after a spate of attacks by women in recent months, and did not give an exact figure on the number of gunnies.
But he said an angry mob killed four of the shooters in the chaotic aftermath. Witnesses in the city said they were set on fire.
An AFP news hound at the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital morgue counted 92 bodies, most of them men and boys with blast injuries and severe burns.
As night fell, hundreds of people were desperately trying to use the lights on their mobile phones to identify loved ones.
But a senior rescue official said later that there were at least 120 dead and 270 maimed. Emergency workers were still trying to visit all hospitals, he added.
The Emir of Kano last week told worshipers at the same mosque that northerners should take up arms against Boko Haram, which has been fighting for a hardline Islamic state since 2009.
He also cast doubt on Nigerian troops' ability to protect civilians and end the insurgency, in rare public comments by a holy man on political and military affairs.
The emir, who is currently thought to be out of the country, is a hugely influential figure in Nigeria, which is home to more than 80 million Moslems, most of whom live in the north.
Officially the emir is the country's number two holy man, behind the Sultan of Sokoto, and any attack could inflame tensions in Nigeria's second city, which is an ancient seat of Islamic learning.
Sanusi was named emir earlier this year and is a prominent figure in his own right, having previously served as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
During his time in charge of the CBN, he spoke out against massive government fraud and was suspended from his post in February just as his term of office was drawing to a close.

Not sure how Allah will treat someone who suicide bombed a mosque during Friday night prayers. He probably has some exaining to do and at best will end up with some virgins virgins that look like Dick Butkus. If he is lucky, his growling virgin won't be wearing old spice and trade the misguided knuckle-head to another virgin that resembles Deacon Jones in exchange for a celestial carton of smokes.

Katsina, Nigeria -- At least 64 people were killed and 126 injured when two bombs exploded during prayers at a mosque in Nigeria on Friday. The blasts happened at the Grand Mosque in Kano, the biggest city in the Muslim north of the country, just as Friday prayers had got under way at about 2:00 pm (1300 GMT).
The blasts came after a bomb attack was foiled against a mosque in the northeastern city of Maiduguri on Friday morning, five days after two female suicide bombers killed over 45 people in the city.
"Two bombs exploded, one after the other, in the premises of the Grand Mosque seconds after the prayers had started," worshipper Aminu Abdullahi told AFP.
"A third one went off in a nearby road. The blasts were followed by gunshots by the police to scare off potential attacks."
His account was backed up by another witness, Hajara Tukur, who said she lives nearby.
A senior rescue official said 64 bodies had been brought to just one Kano area hospital, while 126 people had been admitted with injuries at three facilities.
"Those figures are going to climb," he told AFP.

[An Nahar] Yemen's Shiite Ansarullah militia is advancing in Taez province towards the main southern city of Aden as it seeks to expand its influence after taking the capital, officials said Friday.
Overnight, a 16-vehicle convoy of Death Eaters entered an eastern suburb of Taez, the country's third city, and deployed near its airport and a local radio station, the local officials said.
Ansarullah militiamen, also called Huthis, have captured many communities in western and central Yemen since taking Sanaa on September 21.
However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... they had not entered Taez, a city of around half a million people some 250 kilometers (155 miles) southwest of Sanaa, under an accord struck with local authorities.
"This agreement no longer stands because the local authorities have not honoured their commitment to arrest 14 turbans in Taez province," a source close to Ansarullah told Agence La Belle France Presse.
The group's deployment in the eponymous city's Al-Janad suburb follows "their capture this week of al-Qaeda", a region of neighbouring Ibb province, an official in the area said.
"Supporters of ex-president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... helped the Huthis get into Al-Janad," he added.
The suburb houses a barracks of the Republican Guard, a unit in which several officers remained loyal to Saleh's eldest son who commanded the elite corps.
In July, the Huthis rebel fighters swept south from their rugged northern bastion of Saada, first taking Amran province before conquering Sanaa the following month.

[Ynet] Austrian police detained 13 people in a dragnet on Friday aimed at suspected jihadis working to radicalise young people and encourage them to join bully boy forces in Syria, prosecutors in Graz said.
Media said nearly 500 police searched mosques and prayer rooms in Vienna, Graz and Linz on Friday as part of the investigation, which comes amid a European crackdown on fighters who have joined up with radical forces in Syria and Iraq.
Prosecutors said in a statement that they had questioned 16 people in the investigation of suspected members of a terrorist organization. Authorities seized "terrorist propaganda material", cash and illegal iron knuckles in the raids.
[Ynet] A state prosecutor on Friday demanded a prison term of over four years for a 20-year-old German man accused of fighting with Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

The defendant, identified only as Kreshnik B,, has shown no remorse about his actions, prosecutor Dieter Killmer told the court.
Kreshnik B. is charged with being a member of Islamic State between July and December 2013. Prosecutors said he had received military training and participated in battles.
Defense attorney Mutlu Gunal argued that his client had gone to Syria because he wanted to help people and that his sentence should not be more than three years and three months. "It's pure speculation what he did in Syria," Gunal told the court.

[DAWN] Police tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! three men for beating up two polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set... vaccinators in Lahore, officials said Friday, the latest case of violence against health workers seeking to immunise children against the crippling disease.
A scuffle broke out when two polio vaccinators visited the family's home for a second time Thursday to double check that they hadn't missed any children out of the polio immunisation campaign. The health workers and the men of the house got into a fight after the family said there were no children at home, a local police official said.
Police officer Mohammad Kamran said that police arrested three men on the complaint of the polio vaccinators after about 60 health workers held a protest outside the cop shoppe.
The three men ‐ from the low-income Siddique Colony neighbourhood of Lahore ‐ were arrested but later released on bail.
"Since beating someone is a bailable offence, the trio was released on bail later," Kamran told AFP.
Mohammad Usman, the supervisor of the vaccination team, told AFP that the men became irritated because the health workers knocked on their door twice in the same day when there weren't any children in the house.
The vaccinators always visit homes a second time to be sure they haven't missed children who need to be immunised, Usam added.

Since when does killing 9 people in Iraq make the news these days?
Reporting out of Iraq appears to be awfully spotty these days, jpal. As far as I can tell, vast swathes of events in the IS territory will never get out to the open sources we use as civilians until after the forces of good reconquer it, if then. Even masses of dead bodies tell few tales beyond the fact and kind of their killing. And on the other side, we only seem to get a few sentences every now and again of what the Shiite militias are doing in turn to the Sunnis they happen across, though it seems they are not much kinder. Finally, there are the Iranian generals and now Hizb'allah wandering the landscape, doing heaven knows what.
So when we see an item in a news source we trust, we publish it, as being better than nothing.

Ebbomosh Hupemp2664 has found a wonderful source for the happenings in Kobani, just as badanov has for the Ukraine (which he is translating himself, in many cases). If anyone finds something similar for Iraq, that would be marvelous -- I am not looking forward to what we will discover when the information finally gets out to the normal channels.

[IsraelTimes] 17-year-old Paleostinian girl carrying a knife was tossed in the slammer Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! Friday morning at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in the West Bank city of Hebron after admitting she planned to stab Israeli security personnel at the site.
The girl arrived at a security checkpoint at the entrance to the holy site, sacred to both Jews and Moslems, at around 8 a.m., but refused to be searched. Police at the site told her she must either agree to be searched or leave the premises.
After a few minutes of arguing, the girl pulled a knife out of her bag and threw it on the floor. She was then detained and told officials she had intended to carry out a stabbing attack at the site.
Bulldoze her house...
Overnight Thursday a shooting incident was reported near Kiryat Arba, a settlement adjacent to Hebron. Shots were fired at a car driving near the Kiryat Arba junction from an unknown source. Two bullets penetrated the vehicle but did not hit its occupants, who sped away unharmed.
Security forces were searching the area Friday morning for the assailants.
In another incident on Thursday evening, shots were fired at an Israeli car near the settlement of Na'ale, northwest of Ramallah. The driver was unhurt and expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. The assailants remain on the lam.
On Tuesday police said a stabbing in Jerusalem's Old City Monday evening was nationalistically motivated, rejecting earlier reports the violence had been the result of a brawl.
In that incident, two Jewish men who had left the Shuvu Achim yeshiva in the Old City and headed toward Jaffa Gate were assaulted by four Paleostinians. One of the victims, 45, was stabbed in the abdomen and moderately maimed, while the other, 32, was hit with a blunt object.
The men escaped and managed to reach a cop shoppe, from which they were taken to Shaare Zedek hospital.
Border Police later arrested four Paleostinian teenagers in connection with the attack.
[IsraelTimes] An indictment was filed Thursday against a Paleostinian man who planned to assassinate Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman during the summer war with Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,.
According to the indictment, filed in the Judea Military Court, Ibrahim Salim Mahmoud Zir, 37, a former convict who served time in Israeli prison for terror-related activities, âplanned to buy an RPG with his own money and fire at the convoy, in order to make Israel stop its fighting in Gazoo.â
Three days later, he measured travel times between points that Libermanâs convoy would have to pass through. He then met a man named Yusef a-Sheikh, and asked him to help buy the RPG.
A-Sheikh responded that he would look into it and get back to Zir.
Zir recruited his brother Ziad Salim Mahmoud Zir, 35, for the plot, as well as a local Paleostinian man named Adnan Amin Mahmoud Zabih, 31.
The IDF, police and Shin Bet were involved in stymieing the plan, according to an official statement.
Zir is a resident of the village of Harmala, which sits several kilometers from the settlement of Nokdim, where Liberman lives.
Israeli officials said they also uncovered during the interrogations Hamas plans to fire weapons and carry out hit-and-run attacks against settlers and Israeli troops in the area.

[Ynet] At least 30 fighters killed in Kobani attacks, 21 of them belong to the Islamic State, 9 from Kurdish forces; festivities break out following bombings.
The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group launched an attack Saturday on the Syrian border town of Kobani from Turkey, a Kurdish official and activists said, although Turkey denied that the fighters had used its territory for the raid.
Islamic State group fighters have taken positions in the grain silos on the Turkish side of the border and from there are launching attacks toward the border crossing point.
The assault began when a jacket wallah driving an armored vehicle detonated his explosives on the border crossing between Kobani and Turkey, said the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Nawaf Khalil, a front man for Syria's powerful Kurdish Democratic Union Party.
A second suicide bomber with an explosive vest later went kaboom! in the same area, the Observatory said.
The Islamic State group "used to attack the town from three sides," Khalil said. "Today, they are attacking from four sides."
At least 30 fighters from the two sides were killed in the attacks and subsequent festivities, said Rami Abdulrahman, the Observatory's director. Twenty-one of those were Islamic State fighters, including four suicide bombers. The remaining nine were from the Kurdish forces.
Turkey, while previously backing the Syrian rebels fighting to topple Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Horror of Homs... in that country's civil war, has been hesitant to aid them in Kobani because it fears that could stoke Kurdish ambitions for an independent state.
A Turkish government statement on Saturday confirmed that one of the suicide kabooms involved a bomb-loaded vehicle that detonated on the Syrian side of the border. But it denied that the vehicle had crossed into Kobani through Turkey, which would be a first for the turban fighters.
"Claims that the vehicle reached the border gate by crossing through Turkish soil are a lie," read the statement released from the government press office at the border town of Suruc. "Contrary to certain claims, no Turkish official has made any statement claiming that the bomb-loaded vehicle had crossed in from Turkey."
... a statement that would have done credit to the Byzantines who preceded the current rulers of Turkey...
"The security forces who are on alert in the border region have ... taken all necessary measures," the statement continued.
They didn't smile and wish they'd have a nice day as they waved them through the secure crossing through the mine field.
News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalists saw thick black smoke rise over Kobani during the attack. The sound of heavy gunfire echoed through the surrounding hills as armored vehicles took up positions on the border. The Observatory said heavy fighting also took place southwest of the town where the Islamic State group brought in tanks to reinforce their fighters.
Mustafa Bali, a Kobani-based activist, said by telephone that Islamic State group fighters have taken positions in the grain silos on the Turkish side of the border and from there are launching attacks toward the border crossing point. He added that the US-led coalition launched an Arclight airstrike Saturday morning on the eastern side of the town.
"It is now clear that Turkey is openly cooperating with Daesh," Bali said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State.
The Islamic State group began its Kobani offensive in mid-September, capturing parts of the town as well as dozens of nearby villages. The town later became the focus of Arclight airstrikes by the US-led coalition against the myrmidons.
Kurdish fighters slowly have been advancing in Kobani since late October, when dozens of well-armed Iraqi peshmerga fighters joined fellow Syrian Kurds in the battles. The fighting has killed hundreds of fighters on both sides over the past two months.
The Islamic State group has declared a self-styled Islamic caliphate in areas under its control in Iraq and Syria, governing it according to its violent interpretation of Shariah law. The group has carried out mass killings targeting government security forces, ethnic minorities and others against it.
On Friday, activists said IS militants withdrew from large parts of the so-called Kurdish security quarter, an eastern district where Kurdish militiamen maintain security buildings and offices. Militants had seized the area last month.

Video showing Kurdish fighters crossing through the Turkish border crossing gate into Turkey to push ISIS away from the gate. Kurdish forces have appealed to Turkey to cease allowing ISIS to attack Kobane from Turkish soil or Kurdish forces will attack ISIS on Turkish soil and will take control of those areas on Turkish soil without hesitation as they did this morning in this video.

With Kurdish forces pouring through the border gate into Turkey to repel an ISIS attack on Kobane from Turkish soil, Syrian Foreign Misnister enters into the fray accusing Turkey of aiding ISIS in its attack on Kobane, Syria. This is significant, as it now pits Damascus on the side of the YPG and agianst Turkish government in regards to Kobane, which until now Syrias Assad regime has been silent.
Kurdish forces counter attack entering from Kobanee, Syria have pushed ISIS back into the town of Atmanc, Turkey away from the Tukish/Syrian border crossing gate at Kobane, Syria.

Time to cut aid and military sells to Turkey. They are clearly supporting a terrorist organization . I'm betting Nobama would never do it though.

Thank you Steve White.
It is being reported that Turkey fired artillery into Kobane city center after ISIS was driven away from the border crossing, claiming to be stopping and ISIS attack.

I'm sure that Turkey would like all the IS crazies to ruin someone else's neighborhood - preferably a Khurdish, Syrian or Persian locale. I don't think they'll be successful in harnassing crazy. Standby for a flood of secular Turkish immigrants in the West. I expect they'll be bringing quality carpets a couscous recipes.

Kobane, Syria today while under attack possibly from all sides of the city, even from the Turkish side.
After ISIS was defeated, all is quite at the moment.
[An Nahar] Conflicting reports emerged Friday evening on whether or not al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front had backed down from its threat to execute captive soldier Ali al-Bazzal, as the General Security announced that the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... i mediator will return to Leb "in the coming hours."
"The General Security communicated with the Qatari side, which informed General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim that the Qatari mediator will return again to Leb in the coming hours," state-run National News Agency reported.
"Following contacts and efforts by Maj. Gen. Ibrahim, al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front backed down from its threat to behead captive soldier Ali al-Bazzal," NNA added.
For its part NBN television said al-Nusra backed down from its threat "following efforts and indirect contacts by the Lebanese General Security."
But the upbeat reports were dismissed later on Friday by al-Bazzal's wife, who said she was informed by Sheikh Mustafa al-Hujeiri ‐ who has several times mediated with al-Nusra -- that the Qaeda-linked group is "determined" to execute her husband.
"It has not backed down from the deadline it had given to the government," the wife added.
She was referring to an eight-hour deadline announced by al-Nusra on Friday afternoon.
"We have not backed down from the decision to execute the captive soldier and we have not extended the deadline. The equation is clear: freeing a female prisoner in Leb in return for halting the execution," a Nusra source, meanwhile, told Turkey's Anatolia news agency.
As the group announced its new threat, the families of the captive troops and coppers took to the street and blocked the vital Saifi road in the capital Beirut.
The road was later reopened after the families were told that al-Nusra had decided to reverse its decision.
Bazzal is one of around 27 soldiers and police who were taken hostage in August when al-Nusra and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

A few of them have since been released, three were executed, while the rest are still kidnapped.
Al-Nusra had on Thursday threatened to execute Bazzal within 24 hours if the Lebanese government did not start what it called "serious negotiations."
It also called on the Lebanese authorities to release Jumana Hmayyed, who was jugged Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! near Arsal in February while driving a booby-trapped car that entered Leb from Syria's Yabrud region.

[An Nahar] The army detained a Lebanese and a Paleostinian on Friday in a large-scale raid in Beirut's southern suburbs, the military command said in a communique.
"An army unit raided at dawn the homes of wanted suspects on the airport road and nearby areas," the army said in its statement.
It identified the Lebanese suspect as Hisham Monzer and the Paleostinian detainee as Hassan Azmour.
They are both charged with opening fire in the area and carrying out disturbing acts.
The army unit seized arms, ammunition, binoculars and military equipment.
The detainees were referred to the competent judicial authority.

[IsraelTimes] A recently uncovered internal document of Students for Justice in Paleostine (SJP) at Binghamton University SUNY sheds new light on the anti-Semitic bigotry of SJP groups across the country, as well as SJP's ties to international campaigns to harm the Jewish state and the Jewish people.
Entitled "Declaration of Principles and Strategies," the document specifically outlines strategies for targeting, ostracizing, harassing, and silencing students on campus who oppose the boycott of Israel or who simply attend a pro-Israel event. In a lengthy section on "Tactics and Strategies Used to Counter Zionist Normalization," the document gives detailed instructions for when and how to disrupt "Zionist" events and activities on campus. Disrupting an event is a direct violation of others' right to freedom of expression and assembly, and a blatant violation of New York law.
The internal Binghamton-SJP Declaration is a window into "anti-Zionist normalization" campaigns being waged by SJP groups across the country, whose explicit purpose is to delegitimize all pro-Israel perspectives and actively suppress their expression on college campuses. These campaigns have resulted in dozens of Jewish and pro-Israel students' events being disrupted, and Jewish and pro-Israel students feeling harassed, intimidated, and stripped of their constitutionally-protected freedom of expression and association. For example:
• Feb 27, 2012 at University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Davis, SJP and other groups staged a planned disruption of a Jewish student event consisting of two Israelis ‐a Jewish man and a Druze woman. In a video taken at a meeting of SJP, MSA and MeChA students preparing to disrupt the Jewish student event, the leader of the protesters said, "Events like these are not welcome on our campus anymore," and his statement was met with a large round of cheers and applause. During the Jewish student event, protestors staged a walk-out along with verbal assaults shouted at the speaker, such as, "How many women have you raped? How many children have you raped? You are a child molester," and claiming that Israel has "turned the land of Paleostine into a land of hookers and rapists and child molesters." One of the hecklers admitted, "My only purpose here today is that this event be shut down."
• On March 12th, 2013 at DePaul University, SJP members and other protesters disrupted a talk by Assistant U.S. Attorney Barry Jonas sponsored by Center for Jewish Law & Judaic Studies. Angry that Jonas had helped to shut down organizations which had raised money for the terrorist group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, DePaul SJP members hurled verbal insults at the speaker, such as chants of "Hey DePaul, let's be clear -- racists are not welcome here," and heckled the audience with questions about how the university could have allowed such an Islamophobic and racist event to take place. As a result of the disruptions, the event was ended early.
• On September 9, 2014 at Loyola University-Chicago, SJP members verbally assaulted their Jewish peers, yelling insults at them and created a human wall to block Hillel members' from sharing information with fellow students about Birthright trips to Israel.
Make no mistake about it. SJP's BDS and "anti-Zionist normalization" campaigns are a front for the larger international coordinated effort to demonize, delegitimize, and ultimately destroy the Jewish state, an effort which has been spearheaded by the Paleostinian BDS National Committee, whose member organizations include the terrorist groups Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine ... Paleostinian Marxist movement, founded in 1967. It is considered a terrorist organization by more than 30 countries including the U.S., European Union, Australia, Canada, and Antarctica. The PFLP's stated goal is the establishment of a socialist State in Paleostine. They pioneered armed aircraft hijackings in the late 60s and early 70s... . Having launched the "Paleostinian Call for BDS" in 2005, the Committee's mission has been to coordinate global BDS efforts and to be the "reference point" for "anti-normalization campaigns" intended to ensure the delegitimization and silencing of any individual or group that accepts the legitimacy of the Jewish state.
The "Paleostinian Call for BDS" was formally adopted as a "point of unity" at the first National SJP Conference in 2011, and virtually every SJP chapter in the country has responded to the Paleostinian Call by establishing the promotion of BDS as an essential part of their group's mission. In addition, the National SJP Conference at Tufts University last month boasted a workshop on "Countering Normalization of Israeli Oppression on Campus," and many chapters, such as the SJP group at Binghamton University, have incorporated the Paleostinian BDS National Committee's "anti-normalization" tactics into their own rejection of Jewish and pro-Israel student groups and their events. To all of us monitoring this closely, it is crystal clear what is really happening: SJP students are serving as the foot soldiers for the Paleostinian BDS National Committee's campaign to destroy the Jewish state.
The Paleostinian BDS National Committee has actively cultivated student allies on U.S. campuses and has found a willing partner in SJP, with one Committee member group crowing: "Internationally, we are heartened by the increased coordination and growth of Students for Justice in Paleostine on campuses across the United States."
It is understandable why the Paleostinian BDS National Committee would be delighted that SJP is establishing a beachhead for promoting the Committee's own BDS and "anti-normalization" campaigns on U.S. campuses. What is more difficult to understand is why university administrators would allow a group like SJP to become an officially recognized and funded student organization.

There is going to come a time, in the not-too-distant future, where these kinds of activities will HAVE to be met with brute, bloody force in order to put an end to them. Until these people suffer substantial PERSONAL PAIN AND AGONY for their stupid behavior, it will continue and grow. The people behind the idiots on the "front lines" also need to be dealt with. Permanent and irrevocable loss of position and retirement should be the minimum. This kind of behavior has no place in the United States, and needs to be stopped.
