Coalition and Afghan security forces have captured a "key" financier for a little-known, radical wing of the Taliban known as the Mullah Dadullah Front, which is led by a former Guantanamo Bay detainee. Guess he wasn't all innocent or rehabilitated after all.
The Taliban financier, who was not identified, was captured along with an undisclosed number of fighters yesterday by a combined special operations force during a raid in the district of Kandahar in the province of the same name. Does it seem like there are a lot of raids like this lately?
ISAF said the Taliban financier "worked directly for the Mullah Dadullah Lang Allegiance leader" and "was heavily involved in financing and the transferring of funds for Helmand province-based insurgents." Hope he kept good account ledgers - and that we have them now. Maybe they can go on Wikileaks? Roggio has much more at link.
[ADN Kronos] The Taliban's former ambassador to Pakistain "will not mediate any talks between the United States and the Taliban", he said on Friday in an interview with Arab-language satellite news channel al-Arabiya.
Abdul Salam Zaif also said prior to the United States' invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, he warned Washington that American forces would have a quick victory but in the long run would lose if they stayed on as occupiers.
"I said they would have won quickly but that they would lose if they decided to stay," he said.
Before the terrorist attacks on 11 Sept. 2001, Zaif represented the Taliban during the US' failed efforts for Afghanistan to extradite Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
Zaeef was held at Guantanamo Bay. he lives in Kabul and denies involvement with the Taliban insurgency.

[Iran Press TV] At least 35 people have been killed and many others injured when heavy festivities broke out between African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) troops and al-Shaboobs.
The fighting took place in Mogadishu on Thursday after African Union troops blocked Industry Road, which connects various quarters in the Somali capital. Twenty civilians bit the dust and at least eight al-Shabaab members were also killed, Radio Garowe reported late on Friday.
Several others were killed as intense violence continued in Mogadishu's Bondhere, Shibis, Hodan, and Daynile districts, according to witnesses and medical workers.
"The operations to extend our area of control have been successful," AMISOM front man Major Barigye Bahoku said.
Somali ambulance workers transported 17 maimed civilians to local hospitals for treatment, according to the head of Mogadishu's ambulance service, Ali Muse.
The International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC) has reported that hundreds of civilians were maimed in fighting in Somalia in recent months.
The Geneva-based humanitarian institution said that a total of 5,000 patients with war injuries, including 1,900 women and kiddies, were admitted to Mogadishu's Keysaney and Medina hospitals from January through September.
Compared to last year, it is an increase of 25 percent in the total number of war casualties and 72 percent in the number of war-maimedwomen and kiddies admitted to the hospitals.
Boilerplate follows...
Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991, when warlords overthrew former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.
Over the past two decades, up to one million people have bit the dust in fighting between rival factions and due to famine and disease.
There are more than 1.4 million internally displaced people (IDPs) in Somalia. Over 300,000 of the IDPs are sheltered in Mogadishu.
The United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society High Commissioner for Refugees reported that most of the displaced live in poor and degrading conditions on makeshift sites in southern and central Somalia.

Admittedly, the AU troops are a bit "rough" and they lack assets and training. Then again, it's a home-grown operation and they aren't restricted with the ROEs of public-relations-sensitive 'civilized' Western armies.
And remember that if this were a UN operation, the area of control would still be the two-block area where the rump Somali government is.

"Somalia has not had a functioning government since...". Ever? Can you call a dictatorship a 'functioning government' with a straight face (and not be a minion of the UN)?

Whiskey Mike - It functioned far better than anything that's been in place since then. In fact, Somalia had a halfway-decent government in place up until the late 1980's, when various warlords began causing problems for the central government. Puntland and Somaliland both have functioning governments - it's just the lower half of Somalia that's in turmoil.

Well, then there's this, just scroll down to the subject line Chicago's 2010 homicide toll surpasses 400. I wouldn't sweat the Mog.
At least 150 civilians have been killed in fighting between the Nigerian military and armed tough guyz in the oil-producing Niger Delta.
The incident took place as Nigerian warplanes bombed a village near a krazed killer camp and soldiers opened fire with machine guns, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named quoted human rights ... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you... activists and witnesses as saying on Friday.
Dozens of villagers took refuge in a nearby city after a military taskforce -- comprising the army, navy and air force -- began raiding three camps believed to belong to a krazed killer leader in Delta state on Thursday.
"We've seen about 30 evacuated made up of mainly women, children and new born babies in the barracks. Six are receiving treatment in the military hospital. (Their) immediate needs are food and water," a Red Thingy official said.
While, the country's armed forces deny targeting civilian communities in raids on krazed killer camps lying deep in the creeks, activists and witnesses assert that civilians get killed in the attacks.
The attacks on a village in the Niger Delta continued on Friday as the military tried to kill or capture John Togo, the most wanted krazed killer leader of the Niger Delta Liberation Force, who runs the attacked camps.
A campaign of pipeline bombings and high-profile kidnappings has been ongoing in the region since 2006.

Al Qaeda gunnies now in detention planned to kill Saudi government and security officials and media workers by sending poisoned gifts to their offices, an Interior Ministry official said on Saturday.
The group "planned to rob banks and companies to finance their operations", the official, who declined to be named, said. "Using poisoned perfume which they planned to send as gifts is one of the ways the jugged people planned to carry out their liquidations," the Interior Ministry official said.
Last month Soddy Arabia said it captured 149 al Qaeda gunnies in recent months who were raising money and recruiting members to carry out attacks inside the kingdom, targeting government facilities, security officials and the media. The Islamic myrmidons, who revealed the information to Saudi security forces, belonged to 19 al Qaeda cells and included 124 Saudis and 25 foreigners. The groups had links to gunnies in Somalia and Yemen, the Interior Ministry said last month.
Soddy Arabia has been fighting al Qaeda militancy for years and quelled a three-year al Qaeda campaign of violence in 2006. Al Qaeda's Yemeni and Saudi wings merged in 2009 into a new group, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), based in Yemen. In August 2009, a jacket wallah posing as a repentant Islamic myrmidon tried to assassinate Soddy Arabia's top anti-terrorism official, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, but inflicted only minor injuries. In October, a plot to send two parcel bombs from Yemen to the United States was foiled after a tip off from Soddy Arabia.
"Changes from explosives to chemicals is significant because it demonstrates resolve and the ability to try to trick the security services," said Theodore Karasik, a security analyst at Dubai-based group INEGMA. "This is a change in tactics. It means they are trying every possible way to spread chaos... The security services are very lucky that they discovered this," he said.

[Yemen Post] Houthis jugged a student participating in a conference for Islah Party that took part in Saada province.
Local sources said that Ahmed Ali Alhamati, a student in Saada University, was jugged at a Houthi checkpoint in Aned town and taken to Houthis Headquarters in Thahian district.
Tribal sources told Yemen Post that Houthis confirmed the detention of the student, denying any effort to release him.
On the other hand, the General Union of Yemeni Students denounced the detention, asking Houthis to free him, and calling to keep away students from conflict with the authorities.
At least 26 people have been killed and several maimed in two suicide kaboom attacks against Houthis in northern Yemen two weeks ago. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has claimed its responsibility for the attacks.
The country has witnessed sporadic battles since 2004 between governmental troops and Houthi rebels.

[Yemen Post] Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula grabbed credit for killing the Houthi spiritual leader Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi who was reported dead a day after a car boom targeted a Houthi convoy in Saada last month.
The group said in a statement posted on Al-Fajr Media Center the leader was assassinated in the car boom attack against the convoy that was on its way to mark Day of Al-Ghadir.
The attack was carried out by Al-Qaeda member Abi Aisha Al-Sana'ani, the statement said.
"The Houthi Group tried to hide he was among the victims of the operation, saying he naturally died, but the fact is that the attack already killed him."
Commenting on the information, the Houthi information bureau denied the leader died in the blast that reports said killed Houthi leaders.
Over the last two weeks, Islamic preachers are starting to believe that Al-Qaeda is really sponsored by international powers after reports confirmed that Badr Al-Din never left Sa'ada over the last two years.
Spokesman at the bureau Dhaif Allah Al-Shami said the leader died from asthma in Matara district on Thursday and the information was untrue.
Last month, two car booms targeted Houthi convoys in Jawf and Saada killing about 27 and injuring almost a dozen others.
AQAP grabbed credit for the blasts, saying they were carried out by newly-formed special units responsible for defending the Sunnis and eradicating the malice planted by Shiites in the north.

[El Universal] Andrés is Venezuela and José is Cuba. Or they used to be. This was the coded message in a paper seized by Spanish authorities, annexed to the dossier which has consolidated Venezuela's image as a training ground for terrorists, members of Basque nationalist and separatist organization ETA.
Based on the paper, ETA members purported to test sort of grenade launchers that two ETA members had devised in Cuba. For such purpose, they had requested the authorization and cooperation of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC).
This was disclosed in March 1999, following the detention in Gay Paree of three ETA members in possession of a letter where José Ignacio Echarte Urbieta -a refugee in Cuba- made the request.

[Ennahar] The address in Switzerland of the site Wikileaks, which began publishing Sunday U.S. secret diplomatic telegrams, was active again on Saturday after a brief hiatus, said the Pirates Party of Switzerland, who argued for freedom on the Internet.
Stripped of its website on Friday by its American supplier of domain names EveryDNS.net, the site of revelation of secret documents had found refuge in the morning in Switzerland, under the address wikileaks.ch, no longer operational in the evening.
The owner of the domain name "wikileaks.ch" is "the party of the pirates in Switzerland", which claims to support the legalization of file sharing on the Internet and protecting the privacy of Internet users.
"Two hours after disabling wikileaks.ch by EveryDNS.net, we acquired a lot of DNS (domain name system) available," says on its website the Pirates' Party of Switzerland, founded in 2009 on the model of Swedish Pirate Party.
He has drawn on its website (http://www.pirateparty.ch/wikileaks_ch_blocked) a list of 21 sites where you can see Wikileaks, many located in Europe (wikileaks.nl, wikileaks.de, wikileaks.fi. ..)
Denis Simonet, the leader of the Pirate Party of Switzerland, told AFP he registered the domain name wikileaks.ch six months ago.
"We did it to support Wikileaks," he said, adding that it was not at the request of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks.
The U.S. supplier of domain names EveryDNS.net had ceased in the night from Thursday to Friday after its service to wikileaks.org after massive cyber attacks against the site that created the spot in the U.S. and in many capitals publishing secret diplomatic cables.
Companies like EveryDNS.net provide domain names and turn them into IP addresses. When service is interrupted, the site is down.

[Geo News] An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Saturday issued warrants for the arrest of two coppers for their "failure" to protect slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, a prosecutor said.
The court had issued non-bailable warrants for the arrest of Rawalpindi's police chief at the time, Saud Aziz, and another senior police officer, Khurram Shahzad, special prosecutor Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali said.
"I filed an application that the two coppers be summoned as accused in the case for their abetment in the crime and the court has accepted my request today," Ali told AFP.
"The officers failed to provide adequate security to BB, denied her a post-mortem and were also responsible for hosing down the scene of the killing immediately after the crime," the prosecutor said.
The court will resume the hearing on December 11, he said.
Police said they had jugged five men in the weeks following BB's slaying and five other suspects were on the lam, of whom three had been killed, including Taliban capo Baitullah Mehsud.

These will be remembered as the good old days. I have enjoyed the access to so much information and people. Access denial will be the norm for the least bit of information someone finds offensive. Political correctness, information control, damage control, fairness doctrine, equal time, or a new tax and then blackout for unapproved speak. I guess I'll just have to fire up the old SW till they block the signal. This Cyber attack business will have consequences(TSA).
[Tolo News] A total of 13 people were killed and around 80 others were maimed in a series of car boom blasts in the Iraqi capital on Saturday, Iraqi security officials say
Five people were killed and 18 others hurt after Orcs and similar vermin detonated a car crammed with explosives in front of a house used by Iranians as rest stop.
There are reports claiming explosives were also planted in a house adjacent to the rest stop. The two houses were totally destroyed.
A car boom struck a bus carrying Iranians to Shula, a district in northern Storied Baghdad, sources said.
The bombing left two people killed and 28 others maimed.
A third car boom targeted a market in Storied Baghdad's southwestern Bayaa district, killing six people and wounding 41 others, sources said.
Since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's government by a US-led invasion in 2003, hundreds of thousands of Iranian pilgrims have visited Shiite holy sites in Iraq.
Most often Iranian pilgrims are targeted by al-Qaeda linked Orcs and similar vermin and they oftentimes use religious ceremonies as the best time to carry out their attacks in Iraq.

[An Nahar] Leb filed a complaint with the U.N. Security Council on Saturday over an Israeli device found in south Leb to spy on Hizbullah's private telecommunications network.
Hizbullah said Friday that it discovered the device which went kaboom! after apparently being detonated remotely by the Israelis near the village of Majdel Selem, about 8 kilometers from the border with Israel.
The Lebanese foreign ministry said it filed the complaint through its mission in New York.
In its letter, it said planting such devices is a clear violation of Lebanese illusory sovereignty, international law and Security Council resolution 1701.
The move stresses again that Israel disregards international resolutions, continues its aggressive campaign against Leb and threatens peace, the letter added.

The political murders of the Revolution are now over a quarter of a century ago. That's more than a generation, unless Taheri's arguing that retail assassinations are being planned and executed by the same old bulls as back then. Anyways, motorcycle-riding assassination is popular across the jihadi spectrum. I still say it's more likely Saudi or Gulf funded freelancers than Israelis, Westerners, or internal Iranian strife.
Hell, it might even be Iraqi Sunnis starting to return the pain the Iranian mullahs have been pouring into Mesopotamia for the last seven years. Although I doubt it - doesn't seem the Iraqi style, they would have planted roadside bombs.
