Afghanistan
Suicide Bomber Kills ALP Chief in Badakhshan
Sadly, nothing to do with skiing, chocolates, or cheese fondue. But surely it's a good sign when they start developing their own dialect of English...
[TOLOnews] - A jacket wallah detonated his body-borne explosives outside a girl's school in northeastern Badkahshan province on Thursday, killing an Afghan local police (ALP) chief and one other person.

Sixteen others were maimed in the attack which took place in the Kishim district in the afternoon.

ALP chief Nazok Mir, an area elder who commanded Afghan fighters against the Soviets in the 1960s, was killed by the kaboom, according to the head of the 303 Pamir corps in northern Afghanistan, Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai.

Most of the casualties were civilians, Ahmadzai added.

No group, including the Taliban, has yet grabbed credit for the attack.

The attack comes as eight ALP personnel were killed in a Taliban attack late Wednesday in western Farah province, and nine other ALP men were killed in Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
on Friday by a fellow policeman who, according to Taliban, returned to join the thug group.

Gromky, small craft with pirates approaches vessel from the starboard side, Security personnel open fire, small craft impacts hull of larger vessel, (probably because driver is dead) security continues to fire at pirates in the water.

The second engagement, pirates seemed to veer away as they started taking fire. Couldn't really tell because the production values were poor. :-)

Some denizens of the deep got to eat well!

If they would start a TV reality show with this sort of fare, I'd start watching TV again.

Africa North
Mali rebels declare cease-fire after seizing north
Long story but more detail, including another rebel faction run by al-Qaeda sympathizers.
BAMAKO, Mali: The rebel group that recently seized control of Mali's remote north in a maneuver that effectively partitioned the country in two announced a cease-fire Thursday, saying they had reached their military goal.

Moussa Ag Assarid, a spokesman for the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, said the group was declaring the cease-fire to allow humanitarian aid to resume in the north, where shops were looted.

In Ivory Coast, the military chiefs of the nations bordering Mali met Thursday to hash out their plan for a military intervention. Deputy Ivorian Defense Minister Paul Koffi Koffi said military action is being considered both to reverse the coup that deposed Mali's president last month, as well as to preserve Mali's territorial integrity after the rebel advance in the north. He instructed the army chiefs of the 15 nations in West Africa to draft a detailed plan, including how many troops each intends to send, how quickly they could ready them and what logistical means they plan to contribute.
There's a plan that will die quietly...
In Paris, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said France is ready to help African forces on a logistical level. The chief of staff of the French army, Adm. Edouard Guillaud, traveled Thursday to Burkina Faso to discuss details with the president.

The rebels launched their insurgency in January, saying they wanted to establish an independent Tuareg homeland in the north, known as the Azawad.
You boys definitely need a new name for your homeland...
They only succeeded in taking small towns until March 21, when disgruntled soldiers stormed the presidential palace in the distant capital of Bamako, overthrowing the democratically elected president. In the confusion that followed the coup, the rebels launched a new offensive and succeeded in taking the capitals of the three main northern provinces, including Kidal, which fell last Friday, Gao on Saturday and Timbuktu on Sunday.

"The NMLA has reached the end of its military operations for the liberation of the territory of the Azawad," said Assarid, speaking by telephone from Paris.

"Since the day before yesterday when our units reached Douentza which we consider to be the frontier of the Azawad," he said, referring to a town some 600 kilometers (375 miles) from Bamako, "the military offensive is declared over."

Assarid's group is the largest rebel group involved in the offensive, but it is not the only one, and in the three main towns in the north, local officials say they cannot be sure which of the rebel armies has the upper hand. Western observers have expressed concern over the presence of an Islamist faction called Ansar Dine, which planted its ominous black flag in all three of the provincial capitals. This week, the group announced it was imposing Sharia law in the ancient city of Timbuktu.

The mayor of Timbuktu said nearly all of the estimated 300 Christians based in the city fled after Ansar Dine's spiritual chief Iyad Ag Ghali gave an interview on local radio outlining the tenets of Sharia law: Women are to be covered at all times, thieves will have their hands cut off and adulterers will be stoned.

"The problem for us is that we don't know who is the master of our town," said the mayor, Ousmane Halle, who explained that the Islamist faction had taken over the city's military camp, while the secular rebels were stationed at the airport.

"What I deplore is the departure of the Christian community," he said. The city has been honored as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its collection of ancient Islamic manuscripts, propagating a moderate interpretation of the religion.

"Many said to me that they are obliged to leave," he said. "And they are right. I cannot guarantee their safety. And these are people that have lived side by side with us for centuries."

Once a diplomat assigned to Mali's consulate in Saudi Arabia,
ah-ha...
the Islamist leader Ag Ghali used to be in regular contact with the United States Embassy in Bamako, according to diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks. For years, he was a Tuareg rebel leader and acted as a go-between when foreigners were kidnapped by a branch of Al-Qaeda based in the north of Mali. Although he is believed to be in touch with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, there is no evidence that he himself has taken part in terrorist activities.

The imposition of Sharia has worried analysts and country watchers. Besides Timbuktu, the Ansar Dine faction is accused of destroying bars in Gao and Kidal, and of forcing shopkeepers there to take down pictures of unveiled women.

On Thursday, gunmen seized seven workers from Algeria's consulate in Gao. Algerian Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci told the state news agency Thursday the group was forced to leave the consulate and taken to an unknown location. He added that the government was mobilized to ensure their release as soon as possible.

In Abidjan, where the military chiefs were meeting, the head of Ivory Coast's army said that the possible link between the rebels and terrorism is reason enough for a possible military intervention.

"The advance of the National Liberation Movement of Azawad, associated with terrorist groups like AQIM and Ansar Dine and others, gives sufficient reason to the entire region to be put on notice," said Gen. Soumaila Bakayoko.

Arabia
Two suicide bombers blow selves to bits in Yemen
Yemen's defense ministry reports that two suspected suicide bombers have died in an explosion outside an intelligence building in the southern city of Aden. The men killed in Friday's blast in the al-Mansoura district were believed to have links to al Qaeda.

"Two suicide bombers belonging to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network were killed when their motorbike exploded... early on Friday in al-Mansoura," the defense ministry website said, adding that the intended target of the attack was a branch of the political security services.

A security official was quoted as saying, "The bomb-laden motorbike exploded with the two suicide bombers whose bodies were left in pieces before they managed to carry out their suicide attack that targetted a branch of the political security services in Mansura."

Security services had identified one of the two bombers as Fawaz al-Subaihi, who lived in the neighborhood where the attack took place. An investigation is currently working to identify the body of the second attacker, which was said to have been ripped to shreds.

A witness said Subaihi owned an area shop and "has no links to Al-Qaeda". The witness, who identified Subaihi by his remains, said the second attacker's body had been "torn to pieces".

Karachi Korpse Kount
KARACHI: Terrorists carried the day as seven policemen were killed in suicide and gun attacks in the city on Thursday.

In one of the incidents, a suicide bomber struck the convoy of Malir SSP Rao Anwar, killing four people and wounding 16 others. The SSP, who was in an armoured personnel carrier (APC), remained unhurt. Anwar claimed he was the target of the blast, which tore through a busy area lined with market stalls at around 10:30am.

The officer said agencies had warned him against such an attack a month ago.

“[Following the warning], I had reduced my squad to avert a major loss of life,” the SSP said, blaming the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) for the strike.

Earlier, there were reports that the bomber, riding a motorbike, had hit the APC. Authorities, however, later said the attacker was standing by a road stall near Malir Halt intersection and jumped in front of the APC as the SSP’s convoy passed by.

Officials of Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) and other rescue teams reached the site after the bombing and moved the bodies and injured to hospital. According to BDS, five kilogrammes of explosives had been used in the blast.

The day started with the target killing of three police officials in PIB Colony – an area that has been in the grip of violence for the last week or so. Police said armed men, riding nearly half-a-dozen motorbikes and two cars, ambushed a Ferozabad police car and opened fire. Assistant sub-inspector Dhani Bukhsh and constables Ramzan Brohi and Muhammad Nisar were killed in the attack near Mina Bazaar, Aata Chakki bus stop.

“The attack took place little before 5am,” said Inspector Shahrukh, who is also PIB SHO. “It occurred very early in the morning and there are multiple witness accounts that led us to determine that the attackers were on motorbikes and cars,” the SHO added.

“The attackers used 9mm and 30-bore pistols as well as sub-machine guns,” said an investigator, adding, “They attacked the police car from a very close range.”

Sindh Home Minister Sindh Manzoor Wassan said that a conspiracy had been hatched to disturb order in the city. Speaking to reporters, he said some forces were trying to stir ethnic riots in Karachi.

DIG (East) Tahir Naveed blamed “anti-state” elements for the bombing of the SSP’s convoy. He, however, ruled out any link between the bomb attack and ambush in PIB Colony.

An officer tasked with probing the attack on Rao Anwar said he had found leads about involvement of TTP and the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in the bombing.

“The Lashkar-e-Jhangvi’s Qari Attaur Rehman is seemed to be behind this attack,” the officer told Daily Times on condition of anonymity.

SSP Rao Anwar has no history of being in a direct combat with terrorists from TTP. He has, however, been in association with CID SSP Chaudhry Aslam for operations against anti-state elements. Aslam is a frontline officer in the war against terrorism and his Defence residence was blown up in a terrorist bombing last year.

Southeast Asia
Thai terrorists plan new strike in Songkhla
A security source says the Barisan Revolusi Nasional Coordinate insurgent group plans to infiltrate Songkhla's Hat Yai district in preparation for a possible fresh strike.

Intelligence reports indicate that Masae Useng, a suspected leader of the group, had sent terrorists insurgents from Narathiwat and Yala provinces to pose as businessmen to gather information in Hat Yai to prepare for another attack. They will work with another group of terrorists insurgents based in Songkhla led by Jema Wani and Pado Kongkhwai.

Songkhla's internal security operations office has ordered all vehicles and motorcycles traveling in the commercial area of Hat Yai to leave open their backs and pillions as part of security precautions.

The Police Operating Center for the Southern Border Provinces has issued a warning to watch out for five stolen pickup trucks that could be used as car bombs. The warning said eight pickup trucks and sedans were stolen in eight incidents between July 19, 2006, and March 29 this year in the deep south, and six of the owners were killed. Three of those vehicles were used as car bombs last weekend _ two in Yala municipality and one at the Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel.

In Pattani, Pol Maj Gen Pichet Pititseth, the provincial police chief, has told plain-clothes officers to investigate garages suspected of modifying vehicles used by terrorists insurgents in car bombings.

In Panare district, Ha Masalae, the owner of a car care shop, was gunned down and Masukree Masalae, his son, was injured when they were attacked yesterday.

Four survivors of Bali bombings testify at trial
JAKARTA, Indonesia: Four foreign victims of the 2002 Bali bombings testified Thursday in the trial of an Indonesian militant accused of helping to build the massive car bomb used in the terrorist attack.

Australians Jason McCartney, Peter Hughes and Stuart Anstee and American Steven William Cabler told an Indonesian court how explosives carried in a backpack and a van destroyed two packed nightclubs. The attack was Asia’s most deadly terror strike and killed 202 people, including 88 Australians and seven Americans.

Umar Patek, 45, a leading member of the Al-Qaeda-linked network Jemaah Islamiyah, was arrested last year in Pakistan. He is the last key suspect to be tried in the Bali bombings and faces a possible death penalty if found guilty of various terror-related and criminal charges.

Prosecutors plan to use the testimonies of the foreign victims to support their sentencing demand.
Their specific stories are at the link.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Chinese freighter hijacked by pirates off Iran
A Chinese freighter has been hijacked by pirates off southern Iran, the Chinese Embassy in Tehran reported on Friday. The cargo ship, the Xianghuamen, belongs to Nanjing Ocean Shipping Co Ltd in Nanjing, eastern China, the embassy said in a posting on its website.

The ship was commandeered Friday morning in the Gulf of Oman near the south Iranian port of Chabahar, the embassy said.

The embassy is in touch with Iranian authorities and has asked the government to take all necessary steps to recover the vessel and its crew safely, according to the statement.

There were no other details, including the number of pirates or crew members.

#3  Some interesting points here: Not clear if this was in international waters or the territorial waters of Iran. It looks like it might be within waters. If so, NOT a good pirate move. Plus with China -- they need to step up their pirate game a bit. Again, not a good idea for the Pirates -plus they picked on a "friend " of Iran. My bet - pirates will lose this one.
