[IsraelTimes] 'Stop blaming Gazoo, you failed leaders,' charges Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, chief as Sissi regime points finger at Paleostinians for deadly bombings
Dashing Hamas hopes of a detente with the Egyptian regime of Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, Egypt closed its borders to a high-ranking Hamas delegation to talks with Israel on Sunday, accusing Paleostinians of involvement in a deadly terror attack in Sinai Friday.
Sissi said on Saturday that "foreign hands" were behind a suicide boom-mobileing that killed over 30 soldiers at a checkpoint near the northern Sinai town of el-Arish, declaring a three-month state of emergency in the peninsula. But Egypt's deputy interior minister, Samih Bashadi, was more specific on Sunday, accusing "Paleostinian operatives" of involvement in the attack.
Security in the Sinai can only be achieved through the establishment of a buffer zone between the Gazoo Strip and Sinai, Bashadi told Saudi-owned daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat. He said Egypt would target terror bases in northern Sinai using Apache attack helicopters.
Egyptian civil society, as reflected in mainstream media, seemed ready on Sunday for harsher measures against residents of northern Sinai.
Dalia Ziada, executive director of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Developmental Studies, a Cairo-based research center, told Egyptian daily Al-Masry Al-Youm that Sinai should be declared "an anti-terror zone."
"The military should intervene immediately by removing peaceful civilians from Sinai, and pursue the snuffies until they're eradicated," Ziada said. "On the legal level, the trials of snuffies must be concluded quickly, especially given that all the accused are in fact terrorists."
Before Friday's attack, Hamas was hoping to turn over a new leaf with the Egyptian regime. The movement's deputy political director, Moussa Abu Marzouk, told Egyptian daily A-Shorouk last week that security coordination between Hamas and Egypt has improved following the near-complete elimination of cross-border smuggling tunnels. Abu Marzouk noted that Hamas has completely severed its ties with Egypt's outlawed Moslem Brüderbund, and has even handed over smugglers to the Egyptian authorities.
But Egypt's decision, following the attack, to close the Rafah border crossing -- Gazoo's only gateway to the Arab world -- indicated that Hamas's attempts at placating Egypt were for naught.
Egypt informed Hamas that a high-ranking delegation would not be permitted to cross through Rafah to attend ceasefire talks with Israeli officials scheduled to resume Monday, Hamas official Khalil Haya told his movement's daily Al-Resalah.
Salah Bardawil, a Hamas official in Gazoo, was conciliatory toward Egypt on Sunday, writing on Facebook that "the heart of every Arab, Paleostinian and Moslem bleeds over the death of the Egyptian soldiers." But Abu Marzouk did not mince words in faulting the Sissi regime for unjustly accusing Hamas for the attack.
"Every time a disaster strikes Egypt in the era of the coup instigators, they point their fingers at Gazoo," the Hamas leader wrote on his Facebook page late Saturday night. "It's as though Gazoo is a lightning rod for their ongoing failure. Stop blaming Gazoo, O failed ones!"
Despite killing or arresting many holy warriors, the army has so far been unable to eradicate them in a massive operation involving attack helicopters and tanks.
The military launched fresh air strikes Saturday in northern Sinai, killing eight suspected holy warriors, security officials said.
Sisi, the army chief who toppled Morsi and was later elected head of state, chaired a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces Saturday.
After the meeting, the president said Friday's attack was carried out with "external support" in order to "break the will of the Egyptian people and army."
"A committee comprising senior army officials was formed to examine the latest terrorist attacks in Sinai... in order to reinforce the struggle against terrorism," a statement said.
And the government announced a bill that would bring under the jurisdiction of military tribunals "matters of terrorism... linked to attacks on army and police installations and personnel, as well as vandalism and the blocking of roads."
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... and United States both denounced the latest incident, with the State Department saying "a prosperous and dynamic Egypt requires an environment of security and stability."
In a separate statement, the U.S. defense Department a strongly condemned the suicide kaboom and stressed its support for "Egypt's efforts to counter the threat of terrorism."
So now we know what The Smartest Men In The Room will do about it. Their first reaction, anyway.
[IsraelTimes] Egypt is preparing to set up a buffer zone of between 1.5 and 3 kilometers with the Gazoo Strip, an Egyptian daily reported Saturday, following a deadly attack in Sinai on Friday that left over 30 Egyptian soldiers dead.
Forces were expected to start clearing the zone of structures and vegetation in the coming days, Al-Youm al-Sabaa reported.
Boy howdy, the tunnel rats are going to be busy...
Army patrols were also set to be increased along the coast from El-Arish, in the northern Sinai peninsula, to the Egyptian border town of Rafah, in an effort to thwart the maritime smuggling of supplies to terrorists.
According to a report in the Egyptian al-Ahram cited by Israel Radio, which quotes an anonymous intelligence official, the perpetrators of the attack Friday infiltrated the peninsula via a tunnel leading from the Gazoo Strip. The same source added that although the Egyptian army destroyed over 1,500 tunnels that ran between Gazoo and Sinai, some have been rebuilt and were being used to smuggle weapons, funds and manpower.
Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Saturday that the deadly assault on an army checkpoint in the Sinai Peninsula was a "foreign-funded operation."
Roaring in front of cameras on Saturday, el-Sissi said there were foreign powers that wanted to "break the back of Egypt," without elaborating.
*cough* Iran *cough*
He vowed to take drastic measures to uproot the bandidossnuffies and said Egypt was engaged in an "extensive war" that would last a long time.
Since Morsi's ouster, more than 1,400 of his supporters have been killed in a crackdown by the authorities.
Over 15,000 others have been tossed in the slammer You have the right to remain silent... including Morsi and the top leadership of his Moslem Brüderbund, and more than 200 sentenced to death in speedy trials.
Relations between Egypt and Gazoo's rulers Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, an offshoot of the Moslem Brüderbund, soured considerably after the ouster.
I'll say, if a 3 km buffer zone is being created. What will President B.O. and his Smartest Men do about this?
[ARABNEWS] Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Saturday that an assault on an army checkpoint in the Sinai Peninsula that killed 30 troops was a "foreign-funded operation" and vowed to take drastic action against turbans.
In thundering remarks delivered before cameras ahead of a military funeral for the slain troops, el-Sissi said there are foreign powers that want to "break the back of Egypt," without elaborating. He vowed to take drastic measures to uproot the Lions of Islam and said Egypt is engaged in an "extensive war" that will last a long time.
"There is a big conspiracy against us," he said while standing with army commanders ahead of the funeral.
Militants launched a complex assault on the checkpoint Friday that involved a boom-mobile possibly detonated by a suicide kaboomer, rocket-propelled grenades and roadside kabooms placed to target rescuers.
Egypt declared a state of emergency and imposed a 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew in the restive northern part of the peninsula after Friday's assault, the deadliest against the army in decades.
No one has yet grabbed credit for the attack, but it bore the hallmarks of the bad boy group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, which has carried out several attacks on security forces since the military overthrew Islamist President Muhammad Mursi last year amid massive protests against him.
al-Sissi ...former general under Mubarak, then Defense Minister. Egypt overthrew Mubarak and endured a year of ham-fisted Moslem Brüderbund rule so al-Sissi could run for President-for-Life... said the aim of the attack was to "break the will of Egypt and the Egyptians as well as the will of the Egyptian army, which is considered a pillar of Egypt."
He called on Egyptians "to be aware of what is being hatched against us" and to be "vigilant and steadfast with the army and the police."
"All that is happening to us is known to us and we expected it and talked about it before July 3," he said, referring to the day last year when he overthrew Mursi. At the time el-Sissi was defense minister and army chief.
He claimed some success in the fight against turbans, saying "dozens of Lions of Islam have been killed in the past weeks and months... hundreds of Lions of Islam have been liquidated."

[Libya Herald] The Libyan National Army (LNA) has called on tribes and tribal elders to handover those they know to be hard boyz or face the consequences if they do not.
The message was delivered by Mohammed Al-Hejazi, the front man of Operation Dignity, which has been fighting under the auspices of the LNA.
"You must deliver your children who have participated in terrorist operations agains Libyans and conducted murders and liquidations," he said yesterday. Hejazi explained that tribal leaders could then expect justice for their members. He added that if they did not respond then the elders themselves could be held accountable.
"A special unit has been formed to enter the houses and bunkers using intelligence provided to us" he said, adding that there was nowhere to hide.
Hejazi said those who sought to flee the country would be picked up by authorities in neighbouring nations and handed over. "The world will help us arrest them and with modern techniques we will locate them," he said.
The orders, which the front man said came directly from the army, were the "last call" offered to tribal leaders. He said faith and loyalty demanded hard boyz be handed over.
However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... he said in the future that the armed forces would not take responsibility for any damage that might be caused as raids were carried out on "neighbourhoods and homes of bully boyz and their supporters".

[Ynet] Following deadly attack that killed 30 Egyptian troops, national defense council vows Dire Revenge, decides to close Rafah crossing, enforce a 3-hour curfew.
Consequences.
Egypt's National Defense Council declared a three-month state of emergency in areas near borders with Israel and the Gazoo Strip in the northern part of Sinai Peninsula and ordered a three-hour curfew starting Saturday following a deadly attack Friday that killed 30 Egyptian troops, with the number expected to rise.
State TV also announced closure of the Rafah crossing, Gazoo's only non-Israeli passage to outside world.
A coordinated assault on an army checkpoint in the Sinai Peninsula killed 30 Egyptian troops on Friday, making it the deadliest single attack in decades on the military, which has been struggling to stem a wave of violence by Islamic Death Eaters since the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Officials described it as "well-planned" attack that began with a boom-mobile which may have been set off by a suicide kaboomer. Other Death Eaters then fired rocket-propelled grenades, striking a tank carrying ammunition and igniting a secondary kaboom. Roadside bombs intended to target rescuers struck two army vehicles, seriously wounding a senior officer.
State-run TV said festivities between troops and Death Eaters followed the bombing, without providing further details. The boom-mobilewent kaboom! at the check point at around 3:30pm Cairo time, and took place some 9 miles (15 kilometers) from the northern Sinai city of al-Arish, in an area called Karm al-Qawadees.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but officials said the assault bore the hallmarks of the country's most active bully boy group - named Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, or Champions of Jerusalem - which has claimed a string of past attacks on security forces.
The officials said the corpse count is expected to rise because 28 people were maimed and several were at death's door.
Headed by Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, the National Defense Council vowed that the army would take "Dire Revenge for the shedding of dear blood." It instructed authorities to take measures which it described necessary to protect lives of civilians.
Al-Sisi, the former defense minister and army chief who overthrew Morsi last year, announced a three-day mourning period. He has said in the past that the Death Eaters hide in populated areas, making it difficult for the military to combat them.
The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... Security Council released a statement condemning the attack and reiterated its determination to combat all forms of terrorism.
"The members of the Security Council underlined the need to bring perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of this terrorist attack to justice," the statement said.
An official said the government is considering the eviction of residents living in small northern Sinai villages that are considered the "most dangerous" bully boy bastions, and declaring certain areas to be closed military zones. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media.
The TV presenters dressed in black and displayed a black ribbon at the top of the screen while patriotic songs played.
Egypt's official news agency MENA said military helicopters ferried the dead and maimed to Cairo hospitals. Egypt's top Islamic authority, Grand Mufti Shawki Allam, condemned the attacks and said those who carry out acts of terrorism "deserve God's wrath on Earth and at the end of days."
Islamic Death Eaters have been battling security forces in Sinai for a decade, but the violence spiked after the military overthrew Morsi in July 2013 amid massive protests demanding his resignation. Suicide bombings and liquidations have also spread to other parts of Egypt, with Death Eaters targeting police in Cairo and the Nile Delta.
[Iran Press TV] South African police forces have jugged Please don't kill me! dozens of anti-Israel activists, who were demanding an end to food imports from Israel.
According to police, 57 people who had protested in a department store in Johannesburg were arrested on Saturday and charged with public disturbance.
A Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement member, Tasneem Essop, said some of the arrested campaigners were minors.
"It is completely ridiculous and it goes against the values we wish to uphold," she said.
She also said the demonstration was entirely peaceful and protesters had only walked into the shop and lay on the ground holding their placards.
Essop went on to say that the protesters were not arrested inside the department store and had left the building when the police approached them.
Members of the BDS Movement were demanding the department store halt food imports from Israel.

The BDS is a terrorist org fully endorsed by the ANC. The police probably provided them free transport to their next protest venue.
[Dhaka Tribune] Convicted war criminal Ghulam Azam was buried at his family graveyard in the capitalâs Moghbazar yesterday.
He was laid to rest after namaj-e-janaza at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in the afternoon. Hundreds of leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir took part in the janaza.
Earlier, the leaders and activists of Bangladesh Sammilito Islami Jote, blogger online and Chhatra Mukti staged protests in Paltan area and tried to bar Ghulamâs body from being taken to the national mosque.
At that time, an activist of Gonojagoron Moncho hurled his shoe at the ambulance, carrying the body of Ghulam Azam.
Mahmudul Haque Munshi, one of the key organisers of Gonojagoron Moncho, said he threw his shoe to express his hatred to the convicted war criminal.
Later, Shibir men physically assaulted him, but police and few of his fellows rescued him from them.
Besides, the police barricaded one side of the road as a measure to avoid untoward situation while Jamaat men took position on other side.
The ambulance carrying the body of Ghulam Azam, kept in an air-conditioned room at his home, reached the national mosque around 1:15pm. Scores of Jamaat-Shibir men cordoned the ambulance from his Moghbazar house to the mosque. Later, his son Abdullahil Aman Azmi conducted the janaza around 1:50pm.
Partyâs Nayeb-e-Ameer Mujibur Rahman, Press Secretary Tasnim Alam, central executive committee member Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, BNP chairpersonâs adviser Shawkat Mahmud, Islami Oikya Jote Chairman Abdul Latif Nezami, Islami Andolan Bangladesh Dhaka City Unit President ATM Hemayet Uddin and leaders of the BNP and Islamic parties took part in the janaza.
A number of Jamaat and Shibir leaders, accused in different cases, also took part in the janaza. They include former Shibir president Salim Uddin, incumbent Shibir President Abdul Jabbar, Secretary General Atiqur Rahman, central leaders Yasin Arafat, Shahin Alam and Jamal Uddin.

[SOFREP] The new strategic and tactical needs resulting from this century’s asymmetric warfare have forced several NATO armies to accept new operational realities, especially in the area of special operations. The Italian Army, which for several years actively responded to the fight against terrorism, has created the COMFOSE (Comando Forze Speciali dell’Esercito – Army Special Forces HQ), a centralized command that optimizes the training of special units.
Italy, like other European countries involved in a serious economic crisis, should optimize its resources to address the government’s budget cuts. If each military department had its own training center, this would create an unnecessary dispersion of knowledgeable instructors and personnel, as well as an unjustified waste of public money. COMFOSE circumvents all this, at least on paper. The goal of the army chief of staff is to adopt a unique command able to coordinate various operational capabilities of the regiments as far as possible by standardizing training and creating the necessary interoperability to conduct special operations. For bonus COIN article, klik on Dakotas dropping paras found at the margin.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu reiterated his country's support for the Free Syrian Army and the Iraqi Peshmerga fighting the Islamic State at Kobani, Anadolu Agency reported. Cavusoglu said Free Syrian Army is the only armed group in the region which fights for all Syrians, unlike the Democratic Union Party and IS.
"PYD and IS both have the goal of controlling a specific part of Syria and seizing the region's rich resources," Cavusoglu said.
We'd believe you a bit more if you actually were helping the Kurds and the Free Syrian Army instead of just talking about it...
The Kurdish parliament in Iraq decided Thursday to send peshmerga forces - Iraqi Kurdish fighters - to join in the fight to defend Kobani.
"We want legitimate powers to control the area and fight against IS, therefore we can support the Free Syrian Army and peshmerga," the foreign minister said. "The peshmerga is the security force of Iraq Kurdish Regional Government, established by the constitution of Iraq."
About 1.5 million refugees have fled the Syria conflict into Turkey. About 180,000 of these Syrians came recently from the Syrian border town of Kobani, which has been under a relentless attack by IS since mid-September.
"Kobani is strategic for us, because it is near our border," said Cavusoglu. "We have provided information to U.S. President Barack Obama, to Secretary of State John Kerry, and to our friends in Britain and the EU about IS's acitivites since October 2013, when Turkey acknowledged IS as a terrorist group."
However, Cavusoglu said, there is no real strategy and consistency about the developments in the region; IS cannot be stopped with airstrikes.
Turkey has an army...
Cavusoglu recalled that Turkey is being fair to the Kurdish people through the implementation of the solution process - a long-term peaceful and cooperative solution for the Kurdish people.
As clients or subjects of the Turks...
Cavusoglu also accused the opposition Peoples' Democratic Party, and the Vice-Chairmen of the opposition Republican People's Party, of provoking the latest spate of nationwide Kurdish protests in support of the Kurdish forces at Kobani. About 40 people were killed in those violent demonstrations.
"People who voted against the parliamentary motion authorizing the use of force against IS are now blocking the solution process," he added.

What exactly does this mean? Prayers in the mosques for the downfall of both ISIS and the Peshmerga?
Turkish Interior Minister Efkan Ala and Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus have been attacked in the country's Sanliurfa province, Kanal7 TV channel reported on Oct.25.

[DAWN] The Taliban's Mehsud faction, led by Khan Said alias Sajna, has condemned the attack on Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spends more time running his madrassah.

Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty ... and has said that attacks on Ulema were disgraceful.
Azam Tariq, front man for the Mehsud Taliban, said the group condemned the attack and felt that those involved in similar incidents were against Learned Elders of Islam and Islam.
Tariq, who had previously also served as the TTP front man under former Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud who was killed in a US drone strike on November 1, 2013, said that Khan Said Sajna was still the Ameer of the Taliban's Mehsud faction and that members of the group were united under his command.
Earlier on Thursday, at least two people were killed and dozens had been injured when a suspected jacket wallah detonated his explosives outside a JUI-F rally in Quetta.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman remained unhurt in the attack which targeted his bullet-proof vehicle. The banned krazed killer group Jundallah grabbed credit for the attack.

One of the men suspected of beheading American journalist Daniel Pearl more than a decade ago has been released from a Pakistani jail. Qari Hashim Ali, who had been detained since August 2005, walked free from the Hyderabad central jail on Friday after an anti-terrorist court said there was not enough evidence to hold him.
'It is a great victory for truth and my client,' defense counsel, Sher Muhammad Leghari said, the Indian Express reported. 'We had filed an acquittal plea... arguing that there was no evidence.'
Can we JDAM him?
Pearl, the South Asia bureau chief at the Wall Street Journal, vanished in Karachi in January 2002. A month later authorities received video footage of him being beheaded. His decapitated body was found in a shallow grave in May 2002.
Hashim had been apprehended for arranging a meeting between Pearl and another of the men accused in the killing.
The mastermind behind the killing, British-born Pakistani Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, was sentenced to death in 2002 and remains in the Hyderabad Central jail in Sindh province. His co-accused, Salman Saqib, Fahad Naseem and Sheikh Adil, were given life sentences.
Another suspect, Saud Memon, who was accused of providing the place where Pearl was held before his death, died in mysterious circumstances in May 2007.
Died of a combination of the heartbreak of psoriasis and a Hellfire missile...
Court official Abdul Samih told the BBC that Justice Abdul Ghafoor Memon had ordered for Hashim to be released immediately.
Earlier this year, Sheikh tried to hang himself in prison, AFP reported.
Why did we stop him?

[DAWN] Activists of Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spends more time running his madrassah. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability... -Fazl (JUI-F) on Friday held rallies across Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... to condemn suicide kaboom on the party chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty ... during a public meeting in Quetta on Thursday, and demanded arrest of the perpetrators.
The party activists took out a procession from the Namak Mandi mosque in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), 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. city, which turned into a public meeting at Qissa Khwani after passing through different roads.
The party's provincial general secretary Maulana Shujaul Mulk and former provincial minister Maulana Amanullah Haqqani led the rally. The participants were holding banners and placards inscribed with demands for arrest of the perpetrators of the suicide kaboom.

[DAWN] KARAK: JUI-F workers erupted into the streets against the suicide kaboom on their leader in Quetta, accusing the US of wanting to eliminate those seeking enforcement of Sharia in Pakistain. Honest to God, we don't make this crap up...
The rally was led by JUI-F district president Hafiz Ibne Ameen, general secretary Maulana Zahoor Ahmad and former provincial minister Mian Nisar Gul. Yeah, well they're on the kaboom list, too, you betcha.
They alleged that the US after defeat in Afghanistan was now seeking removal of those striving for protecting Islamic values in the country. They resolved to foil such nefarious designs. I woke up today feeling nefarious.
Of plots I'm involved in various.
It's only because I'm gregarious
And because holy men are hilarious
With a grasp of facts that's precarious.
The JUI-F leaders said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty ... had been targeted third time and blamed the US for that. Occam's sledgehammer strikes again.

Paki propaganda. However, if we would do this, we would probably eliminate a significant amount of the radical Islamic terror in the world.
[Iran Press TV] The US has information about the ISIL terrorists' sale of oil from fields in areas under their control in the Middle East, an anti-war activist says.
Don DeBar made the remarks on Press TV on Saturday after US State Department official Julieta Valis Noyes revealed that Washington was considering attacks against Syria's oil pipelines.
Although it is not exactly clear who controls the oil fields that are outside of the government control in Syria and Iraq, "but it is not easy to hide an oil tanker in the ocean from satellites that can read license plates on the ground," he said.
The American TV host said giant companies, mostly active in the energy sector, are the ones that shape the US foreign policies.
"The United States' foreign policy is driven by multi-national corporations and paramount among those in terms of actual industrial production are energy companies or really the more specifically oil companies," said the activist.
"The United States knows where the oil is going. Somebody that the oil companies here allow the US the permit is getting the oil," DeBar noted.
According to reports earlier in the day, Noyes, the US deputy assistant secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, recently said in London that Washington may target oil-related infrastructure inside Syria.
She said that the attacks would include "kinetic strikes against some of the pipelines" and other "physical action to stop the flow."
DeBar stated that the US "entire history" is replete with wars against the "economic assets of those it deems its enemies," which makes the issue "not controversial at all."
