[ARABNEWS] Libyan forces fighting in Benghazi have lost four men and seen 10 maimed so far in December, five months after declaring victory in a campaign to control the eastern city, a medical source said on Monday.
Three of the dead from the Libyan National Army (LNA) were killed by snipers and one by a land mine as it faces resistance from a group of fighters in the Benghazi district of Khreibish.
There have been daily festivities in the area and occasional air strikes.
LNA commander Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, 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... declared victory in a three-year military campaign against an array of forces of Evil and other fighters in Benghazi in early July.
The fighting is part of a broader conflict that developed following the 2011 fall of strongman Muammar Qadaffy ...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest... . Haftar has opposed a UN-backed government based in the capital, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , as he has gradually strengthened his position on the ground.
Also on Monday, he UN urgently appealed for countries to take in 1,300 "extremely vulnerable" refugees stranded in Libya, following revelations of horrific abuse of migrants colonists in the country.
The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said there was a dire need for 1,300 resettlement places by the end of March 2018.
"This is a desperate call for solidarity and humanity," Volker Turk, UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, said in a statement.
"We need to get extremely vulnerable refugees out of Libya as soon as possible," he said. The chaos-ridden country has long been a major transit hub for migrants colonists trying to reach Europe. Many refugees and migrants colonists have fallen prey to serious abuse there at the hands of human traffickers and others.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Following the progress that the Yemeni army made supported by popular resistance in Hodeidah, navigational sources in the port of Hodeidah revealed that Tehran vacated 40 military advisers from the area along with UN workers in Yemen.
Prior to this, Tehran had evacuated its embassy employees from Sanaa following the intense battles between 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 ... militias and the General People’s Congress Party (GPC) forces in the Yemeni capital last week.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!... Houthi militias are still being clamped down in the west coast of Yemen, with national army and coalition forces fast approaching the city of Hodeidah.
The evacuation of Iranian advisers along with UN workers took place three days ago through the Hodeidah port which is controlled by the militia.
Sources at the port confirmed that the operation was done very discretely so as not to attract any attention.
More notably, the decision to evacuate the Iranian advisers closely followed the killing of Iranian missile expert Hussein Khasrawy, who was killed on Saturday in a coalition raid in Sanaa.
Media sources said that the embassy employees were evacuated from Sanaa to Muscat, after the embassy building was exposed to an air raid during a battle between the Houthis and GPC forces last week.

[IsraelTimes] Molotov cocktails thrown at chapel in Malmo cemetery, two days after synagogue in Gothenburg hit; on Friday, marchers in Malmo vowed to 'shoot the Jews'
Swedish police on Monday said they were probing an attempted arson against a Jewish chapel after a similar attack against a synagogue, which came in the wake of the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Two burning objects were thrown at the chapel, located at a Jewish cemetery, in Sweden’s third largest city of Malmo, the Jewish assembly said in a statement on Monday.
The Local news website said Molotov cocktails had been thrown at the building.
Malmo police front man Lars Forstell told AFP that the incident is being investigated "as an attempted arson" and that the motive is unclear.
No serious damage was done to the building and no one was hurt.
But the Jewish assembly in Malmo said it sees the incident as "extremely serious."
"We strongly emphasize that we can never accept being subjected to threats and attacks," it said in the statement.
The chapel was the target of a previous arson attack in 2009, the Local website reported at the time. A small fire started causing a little damage to the building.
In 2015 Swedish police posted officers at the cemetery after a Jewish man reported he was intimidated by passersby at the site.
Swedish police have tightened security near Jewish sites across the nation following a fire attack on a synagogue in the second largest city of Gothenburg on late Saturday.
More than a dozen men hurled Molotov cocktails at the synagogue in the southern Sweden city, hours after locals marched there against 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... ’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The synagogue did not catch fire and no one was hurt. Police have detained three men on suspicion of attempted arson.
In Malmo on Friday, around 200 protesters gathered, threatening and calling for violence against Jews, according to the Swedish daily Sydsvenskan.
Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom on Sunday condemned the synagogue Molotov cocktailing and the calls in Malmo for violence against Jews, saying anti-Semitism had no place in Swedish society.
Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has also condemned "calls for violence against Jews."
This was a reference, in part, to chants about shooting Jews heard at the Malmo rally.
"We have announced the intifada from Malmö. We want our freedom back, and we will shoot the Jews," some in the rally of 200 demonstrators shouted, according to the public radio station. Intifada is the Arabic-language word for a violent uprising.
"There is no place for anti-Semitism in Swedish society," Lofven said in a statement.

[YAHOO] French police jugged Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! a man on Monday in connection with the jihadist murder of a police couple after his DNA was allegedly matched to traces found in their home near Gay Paree, legal sources said.
It also claimed that the 24-year-old has been linked to Larossi Aballa,
...whose name is more commonly given as Larossi Abballa in our archives...
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.

The suspect, who was not on a terrorism watchlist, was arrested in the western Gay Paree suburb of Les Mureaux.
His brother, Charaf-Din Aberouz, 29,
...who was jailed earlier in the decade for some Al Qaeda nonsense, then got up to more nonsense after being released...
has already been charged with providing logistical assistance to Aballa, whose chilling attack - one in a string of assaults in La Belle France since January 2015 - caused shock in police ranks.
Aballa stabbed police captain Jean-Baptiste Salvaing to death outside his home in Magnanville, 60 kilometres west of Gay Paree, and then slit the throat of his lover companion Jessica Schneider in front of the couple's three-year-old son.
In a Facebook Live video from the scene, he called for further terror attacks.
The man arrested Monday was already investigated over a foiled attack by a group of female jihadists who tried to set set fire to a car containing gas canisters near Notre-Dame Cathedral in Gay Paree in September 2016.
The ladies in question being Ornella Gilligman, Sarah Hervouet, Amel Sakaou and Ines Madani.
Charged with failing to report that plot, he spent four months in preventive custody before being released in January.
He is still under formal investigation in that case and faces charges of "failing to denounce a terrorist crime".
Investigators believe that a notorious French IS member, Rachid Kassim, directed both attacks from the Middle East, using the encrypted Telegram app.
...and many others during his meteoric career as a seducer of French youth...
Kassim is believed to have been killed in a coalition air strike near the Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... in February.

[FOXNEWS] A U.S. Coast Guard cutter intercepted a self-propelled semi-submersible vessel engaged in smuggling more than 3,800 pounds of cocaine, federal officials said Sunday.
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), on November 13, CBP and Marine Operations (AMO) tossed in the clink ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... the crew during operations in international waters, and all three suspects will face charges in the U.S.
"The narco mobs are relentless and extremely innovative," National Air Security Operations Center ‐ Corpus Christi Director Allen Durham said.
"Interdicting self-propelled semi-submersible vessels requires expertise and the right aircraft. Air and Marine Operations will continue to beat the cartels at their own game to protect our borders."
The multi-day operation from surveillance to interception, according to CBP, involved several interagency partners including the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy.
AMO operates maritime patrol aircraft from Corpus Christi, Texas, and Jacksonville, Florida, to conduct long-range aerial patrols and surveillance missions along the U.S. borders and in drug transit zones in Central and South America, according to CBP.

Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) Iraqi security forces have seized 18 mortar shells and defused seven bombs in Baghdad on Monday, a military command said.
“The troops found 18 mortar shells and nabbed a number of outlaws who are wanted on different charges south of the Iraqi capital,” the Baghdad Operations Command said in a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Alghad Press on Monday.
Also, the forces seized one kilogram of the highly explosive TNT material and a detonator north of Baghdad, the statement read, adding that seven bombs were defused at al-Halabsa area west of the capital city.
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Residents of an area in northern Baghdad are decrying what they describe as unbearable security restrictions and sectarian discrimination that turn the area into an actual prison.
London-based al-Quds Alarabi quoted residents of Mashahda, Tarimiya, saying they are always undergoing stringent vetting and ID checks at checkpoints in the neighborhood. The army “maintains the closure of vital pathways, and has imposed “weeks-long curfews, trapped citizens inside and outside, and carried out random arrests”.
“The area has turned into both a big prison and a military barrack that is difficult to live in,” Omar Abu Kamel, a resident of the area, told the paper. “Many people are feeling rage, injustice and sectarian discrimination due to provocative practices by the Iraqi army and humiliating measures”.
Even residents with documents proving they belong to the area cannot escape the lockup, according Abu Kamel. “Many people have now no other choice but to relocate”, he said. “The security policy in Mashahda has emptied the area of men who had to migrate for fear of kidnapping or detention”.
Abu Kamel accused army troops of carrying out home raids, assaulting dwellers and getting ransoms in return for the release of arrested family members. He said unknown, masked gunmen also usually pass through the army checkpoints unquestioned before making detentions.
Baraa al-Mashadani, a blacksmith, recalls how soldiers blocked his way to home in central Tarimiya and ordered him to turn back or, otherwise, get arrested for “collaborating with terrorists”. He said he, however, holds an ID that verifies he is a local of the area.
In June, in response to wide complaints of mass detentions in Tarimiya, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the campaigns were targeting Islamic State hideouts.
Throughout Iraq’s three-year campaign to eliminate Islamic State militancy, local and international human rights groups, and international agencies, have occasionally warned against vengeful violations by government and paramilitary troops against civilians from opposite sects. They urged the government to ensure civilians are not abused for unbased accusations of affiliation with the militant group.

[IsraelTimes] Two rounds of rocket fire and Israeli responses, a day after Israel blew up Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, terror tunnel dug under the border.
Israeli forces attacked Hamas targets in the northern Gazoo Strip early Tuesday after Paleostinians fired a rocket toward the southern city of Ashkelon, the army said. The rocket was intercepted by an Iron Dome anti-missile battery.
After the rocket fire, Israeli aircraft and a tank attacked Hamas sites in the Strip, the army said, noting that it holds the terror group, which runs Gazoo, responsible for all rocket attacks.
This was the second round of Paleostinian rocket fire and Israeli responses in the day.
The rocket, fired at about 11:30 p.m., triggered early warning sirens in Ashkelon, the Lachish region and in the area around the Gazoo Strip.
The IDF said the Iron Dome successfully intercepted the rocket. No injuries were reported.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket fire, which came hours after Israel shelled a Hamas position in Gazoo in response to a missile shot from Gazoo.
No impact site was identified from the rocket fired earlier Monday, the army said, but reports indicated at least one missile landed in an open area near the border fence in the Eshkol region, opposite the southern Strip.
"The IDF hold Hamas responsible for these aggressive acts originating from the Gazoo Strip," the IDF said.
[Inquirer] Four commanders of military task forces in Western Mindanao reported more than 350 neutralized Abu Sayyaf terrorists since January this year. Lieutenant General Carlito Galvez Jr., commander Western Mindanao said a total of 353 members of the Abu Sayyaf were neutralized, “five times higher than the number of neutralized members in 2016 that only recorded 75.”
Of the total, 136 Abus surrendered: 72 in Basilan, 43 in Sulu and 21 in Tawi-tawi, Galvez said in his 2017 operations report. He said 127 were killed and 90 were caught within their jurisdiction. Galvez attributed this to the military’s “intensified combat and law enforcement support operations.
He said kidnapping incidents this year went down to 12 from 23 in 2016. The insurgents attacked civilians 77 times, which is was also down from 123 incidents in 2016.

[BENARNEWS.ORG] Abu Sayyaf ...also known as al-Harakat al-Islamiyya, an Islamist terror group based in Jolo, Basilan and Zamboanga. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings, murders, head choppings, and extortion in their uniquely Islamic attempt to set up an independent Moslem province in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf forces probably number less than 300 cadres. The group is closely allied with remnants of Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiya and has loose ties with MILF and MNLF who sometimes provide cannon fodder... kidnapers executed a Vietnamese hostage after holding him captive for more than a year in the southern Philippines, the military said Monday.
The body of Pham Minh Tuan, the captain of the M/V Royal 16 vessel who was taken hostage along with five crew members by Abu Sayyaf hard boyz in November 2016, was recovered in a coastal village on Jolo island at the weekend, military officials said.
"Tuan’s remains were airlifted to Manila and turned over to the Vietnamese Embassy," said Chief Superintendent Graciano Mijares, head of the regional police.
M/V Royal 16 was carrying cement from northeastern Vietnam to the Philippines when it was attacked off the island of Basilan ...Basilan is a rugged, jungle-covered island in the southern Philippines. It is a known stronghold of the Abu Sayyaf, bandidos, and maybe even orcs. Most people with any sense travel with armed escorts... in the south.
The boat had 19 crew members aboard, according to the Vietnamese embassy in the Philippines, but the attackers took six, including the captain, as hostages and let the rest go.
Tuan and his five crewmen apparently were taken to the jungles of Jolo island farther south, military officials said. One of the five escaped in June, while two had their heads chopped off a month later.
Mijares said the button men initially thought the boat captain could be ransomed for a big amount, but they were mistaken. He did not elaborate.
Last month, troops rescued four Vietnamese hostages from the Abu Sayyaf but found a fifth dead. This group was taken from another ship button men boarded in February.
At least six foreigners are believed to be held captive by Abu Sayyaf, officials said. The bandidos last year had beheaded two Canadians and a German national held separately, after ransom payments demanded by the captors were not met.
