[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Over 50 Taliban Lions of Islam have died and as much others have sustained injuries as festivities have intensified among the supporters of Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar Mansoor and dissident Taliban leader MULLAH Rasool.
According to local government officials the incident took place in Zer Koh area of Shindand district and festivities still continue between the two sides.
Provincial governor front man Ehsanullah Hayat said festivities erupted early on Monday morning but intensified on Tuesday.
Hayat confirmed over 50 gunnies have been killed so far and around 50 others have been maimed.
Another security official said scores of gunnies from the neighbouring provinces have poured into Shindand to support gunnies engaged in the ongoing fight.
According to reports Raz Mohammad Nangialy is leading the war in favor of Mullah Rasool while Mullah Abdul Samad is fighting in favour of Mullah Mansoor'.
The Taliban group has not commented regarding the ongoing clash so far.
Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... is among the relatively peaceful provinces in Western Afghanistan however the anti-government armed murderous Moslem groups have recently increased their ins urgency activities in a number of its districts, specifically those located in remote parts of it.
Mullah Mansoor assumed charge of the Taliban group in July this year following the announcement of Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar's death.
His controversial appointment as new Taliban supreme leader led to widening rift among the Taliban leaders who are often entering into deadly clash.
In the latest incident, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor was reportedly maimed after a shootout among Taliban fighters in Pakistain with reports even suggesting Mullah Mansoor has died.

This is one way in which killing leaders is more productive than killing low-level fighters. The deaths of low-level fighters don't trigger succession battles.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least eleven Taliban bandidos Death Eaters were killed in an Arclight airstrike in 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 of Afghanistan, local officials said Tuesday.
The Arclight airstrike was carried out by coalition forces in Khogyani district of Nangarhar, provincial police front man Hazrat Hussain Mashriqwal said, adding that the air raid did not incur any casualties to the local residents.
The Talibs group has not commented regarding the loss of their fighters so far.
Nangarhar is among the relatively volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed bandidosbandidos Death Eaters are actively operating in a number of its districts, including the restive Khogyani.
Extremists loyal to the newly emerged 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.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are also actively operating in a number of Nangarhar districts where periodic terrorist related activities are reported along with festivities between ISIS affiliates and Talibs.
This comes as at least fifteen civilians and seven coppers sustained injuries in an kaboom in Surkh Rud district of Nangarhar province earlier on Monday morning.
The incident took place after a jacket wallah detonated a truck packed with explosives near the district administrative compound.

MOGADISHU -- The defections of two fighters, an American and a U.S. resident, from Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels highlight tensions within al-Shabab over whether it should remain affiliated to al-Qaida or switch allegiance to the Islamic State group, according to an al-Shabab commander.
Foreign fighters are being alienated and feel trapped in Somalia over suspicions that they are plotting to switch allegiance to the Islamic State group fighting in Syria and Iraq, Abu Mohammed, a military commander with Al-Shabab told The Associated Press Tuesday. The “ambitions” by some foreign fighters in al-Shabab to join the Islamic State group had led to them to be isolated within the Somali group and even face death at the hands of their erstwhile comrades-in-arms.
An American who had been fighting with al-Shabab left the rebels and was arrested by Somalia’s security forces on Monday. Abdimalik Jones, who said he is from San Diego, was arrested in the southern port of Barawe, said African Union spokesman Col. Paul Njuguna.
Jones claimed he fled al-Shabab because of rifts within the group, said an official with Somali security forces who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press. Jones is missing the index finger of his right hand, said the official.
Separately an American resident, a Minnesota man named Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan, who joined al-Shabab in Somalia more than seven years ago, surrendered to Somalia’s federal government on Nov. 6, the U.S. State Department said in an email to The Associated Press. It’s not immediately clear why his arrest wasn’t announced earlier. Hassan was a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. but not an American citizen.
Hassan had been fighting with al-Shabab but recently went online to urge others to carry out violence on behalf of IS. State Department spokeswoman Pooja Jhunjhunwala said Hassan is in the custody of the Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency in Mogadishu. She said the U.S. is discussing the case with the Somali Federal Government, but noted that Washington does not have an extradition agreement with Somalia.
The two defections show tensions within al-Shabab, according to Mohammed.
“Some mujahedeen fighters are now preferring to fall into the enemy’s hands instead of meeting death in the hands of brothers,” said Mohammed, adding that the friction over IS “is messing everything up here.”
Al-Shabab’s leadership declared that fighters acting in contravention with the mainstream stand to be aligned with al-Qaida would represent “Bid’ah,” or misguidance, which would lead to them being killed.
Foreign fighters with al-Shabab would have to give up their desire to join IS to escape death, said Mohammed.
“They have no choice,” he said by phone from southern Somalia.
The defections by the two foreign fighters would not have much impact on al-Shabab militarily, but it may make it more difficult for al-Shabab to recruit more foreign fighters, said a senior Somali intelligence official.
“At this point, the group is gambling on its drive to attract foreign volunteers — it gives the impression that foreigners are unwelcome,” said the official, who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press.
He said the defections of the two Americans appear to be separate.
“They have no time to coordinate for their defections,” he said. “Everyone is on his own way to escape an imminent death.”

Leave these fighters over in Somalia and don't let them ever come back. Maybe someday, they and others like them will come to realize how special their U.S. citizenship is.
[AlAhram] Four security personnel were killed on Tuesday and four others maimed in a kaboom in the restive North Sinai town of Rafah, security sources said.
A roadside kaboom was remotely detonated by suspected Islamist holy warriors as an armoured vehicle carrying the forces passed by the town's center, near the border with the Gazoo Strip and Israel.
Security forces have been scanning the area searching for the perpetrators.
[Ynet] Weapons that survived an Egyptian strike on an arms convoy heading to Islamic State's Sinai affiliate and used in a massive operation against Egyptian forces.
Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, believes a shipment of arms to Gazoo that was interdicted by Egypt could have fallen into the hands 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.... , Ynet has learned.
A recent major-scale Egyptian operation to thwart the smuggling of weapons into the Gazoo Strip may have had an unintended consequence.
A few days after the operation against a convoy of Gazoo-bound arms, fighters in Sinai from Ansar Beit al Maqdis, a group that pledged allegiance to the Islamic State nearly a year ago, mounted a large scale attack against Egyptian security forces in the peninsula using weapons similar to those seen in the shipment.
The Hamas leadership believes that ISIS seized the weapons that remained intact after the Egyptian strike on the weapons convoy, having told Hamas that the weapons were destroyed.
The Sinai branch of the radical terror organization has seemingly become independent of Hamas, despite basic logistical ties that were formed between the organizations.
These ties included the transfer of ISIS fighters maimed in the fighting with Egyptian forces to Gazoo's Shifa hospital for medical treatment and the transfer of hundreds of thousands of dollars from Hamas to ISIS in Sinai in exchange for the smuggling of raw materials used in the strip's domestic weapons manufacturing.
In order to facilitate the flow of weapons shipments, the ISIS affiliate, which took over the Sinai side of the Gazoo smuggling tunnels, demands a "tax" in the form of a small number of the weapons.
[AnNahar] 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... gunnies have torched almost an entire village near the northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... n town of Chibok from where over 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped, a resident who fled and a local elder said Tuesday.
The raid in Takulashi village happened on Sunday and saw the Islamists loot food supplies, two days after fighters stole more than 200 cattle from the same location.
Recent months have seen a reduction in such hit-and-run raids in rural northeast Nigeria, in an indication the rebels' ability to strike has been reduced by an army counter-offensive.
But sporadic raids still occur and there is concern about an increase in suicide and kabooms in urban centers.
A group of snuffies on bicycles and on foot invaded the farming and herding community at about 6:00 am (0500 GMT) on Sunday, shooting indiscriminately and setting fire to homes.
"They burnt more than 100 homes in the village. Only five houses were spared the inferno," said a resident who gave his name as David, after fleeing to the nearby town of Askira Uba.
The attackers loaded food supplies onto four vehicles they took from the village and burnt four more they were unable to take with them. The rest of the supplies were set on fire.
"We will have to wait till everybody is back to know if there were any fatalities in the attack," Ayuba Chibok, a community leader in Chibok, told AFP.
"We are making contacts with the residents who fled to locations where there is a phone network.
"We thought the worst had happened after Boko Haram rustled over 200 cattle in the village on Friday."
In April last year 12 people were killed when gunnies attacked Takulashi in the wake of the abduction of 276 schoolgirls from their school in Chibok by Boko Haram.
Fifty-seven girls escaped soon afterwards but nothing has been seen or heard from the remaining 219 in captivity since a video in May 2014.

Don't forgettum w/de rigueur Stage Left Head Tilt.
[Dhaka Tribune] Police say they have placed in durance vile Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! the prime suspect in Japanese citizen Hoshi Kunio's murder, adding that the arrested JMB man also killed a mazar khadem last month in Rangpur.
Masud Rana, 38, is a regional leader of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh The JMB is said to be the youth front of Al Mujahideen, the parent organization that began working toward establishing Bangladesh as an Islamic state in the mid 1990s which remains obscure even today. Other organizations, such as Jama'atul Jihad, JMB, Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI), Hizbut Tawhid, Tawhidi Janata, Islami Jubo Shangha, Islami Shangha, Al Falah A'am Unnayan Shanstha and Shahadat-e al Hiqma are believed to be part of the Al Mujahideen network. The JMB at its peak was reported to contain at least 100,000 members, and an alleged 2,000-man suicide brigade, few of whom actually exploded. JMB allegedly received financial assistance from individual donors in Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Libya. Reports have claimed that funding of JMB by international NGOs like Kuwait based Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage (RIHS) and Doulatul Kuwait, Saudi Arabia based Al Haramaine Islamic Institute and Rabita Al Alam Al Islami, Qatar Charitable Society and UAE-based Al Fuzaira and Khairul Ansar Al Khairia. The top leadership of JMB was captured in 2005 and hung in 2007, which pretty much shot their bolt. , said Humayun Kabir, the acting deputy inspector general (DIG) for Rangpur Range.
Rana was arrested from his house, the acting DIG said without disclosing the time of arrest.
Police sources, however, said Rana had been arrested sometime before last Thursday. News of his arrest had not been announced to the media earlier for the sake of ongoing investigation, the acting DIG said yesterday.
Rana had previously been in jail for two years, but secured bail and started to reorganise JMB activities in the district following his release.
"Masud Rana is the JMB regional commander of the region and was one the shooters [of Kunio]. He confessed in the court of Senior Judge Shafiul Alam that he shot at Hoshi Kunio," acting DIG Kabir said.
The same person killed Khadem Rahmat Ali on November 10 at Choita intersection in Kaunia upazila and also tried to kill Bahai community leader Ruhul Amin two days earlier.
Following Rana's confession, the police recovered three knives including one that Rana admitted of using to hack khadem Rahmat to death. They also searched the vicinity of his home and found fifty empty cans that were supposed to be used for making crude bombs.
However, corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... police are yet to recover the firearm and the bike that were used to kill Kunio.
The 65-year-old Kunio was killed by three unidentified cycle of violence-riding men in Kachu Alutari village on October 3.
Earlier, the police detained five suspects in the Kunio murder case including Rashidunnabi Khan Biplob, the younger brother of BNP leader Habib Un Nabi Sohel, and the victim's business partner Humayun Kabir Hira.
At the time, law enforcers also claimed that all three of Kunio's attackers have been arrested.
But yesterday, the police did not say whether the latest arrest had any links with the previous detainments.

[Rooters] PARIS, Dec 9 - A third man who attacked the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on Nov. 13 has been identified as a 23-year-old from Strasbourg who went to Syria with a group of other young people at the end of 2013, a judicial source and other officials said on Wednesday.
Sources close to the situation named the attacker, who died in the assault, as Foued Mohamed-Aggad. Prime Minister Manuel Valls confirmed on BFMTV that the man had finally been identified.
Other members of the group that went to Syria were arrested and imprisoned in May 2014 after their return, the sources said. Mohammed-Aggad's older brother Karim, who also visited Syria, is in jail in France, the judicial source said.
The Bataclan shootings were part of a co-ordinated attack around Paris that killed 130 people. Islamic State, the militant group that now controls large parts of Syria and Iraq, claimed responsibility.
The other two attackers at the Bataclan, among seven in all who died in the assaults around the city, have been named as Samy Amimour, 28, from Drancy, north east of Paris, and Ismail Omar Mostefai, 29, who lived in Chartres, south west of Paris.
Amimour also spent time in Syria, as did the presumed ringleader of the Nov. 13 attackers, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 28, a Belgian of Moroccan origin who was killed the following week in a police raid near Paris.
Another attacker, Salah Abdeslam, 26, French and born in Brussels, is still on the run.
[AlAhram] Spanish police on Tuesday incarcerated Please don't kill me! a man and a woman suspected of recruiting Islamist holy warriors and launching terror threats against Spain and La Belle France, the country's interior ministry said. The pair pledged allegiance to Daesh [Islamic State] and its leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

[Examiner] FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that the pair of suspects in last week's San Bernardino shooting were radicalized at least two years ago.
"San Bernardino involved two killers who were radicalized for quite a long time before their attack," he told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "In fact, our investigation to date, which I can only say so much about at this point, indicates that they were actually radicalized before they started dating each other online."
"As early as the end of 2013, they were talking to each other about jihad and martyrdom before they became engaged and married and lived together in the United States," he said.
Comey also said investigators are struggling to gather information about domestic terrorists because of restrictive privacy policies. Comey said encryption has become part of the "statecraft" of the Islamic State.
San Bernardino terror couple Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik spent at least a year preparing for their terror attack, NBC News has learned, practicing at a local gun range and making financial plans for their family after their deaths.
So not sudden jihadis. Makes the trip to the Middle East to procure a 'wife' look more and more like an ingenious method to bring in a co-conspirator and fellow shooter.
And the husband may have discussed an attack as many as three years ago, law enforcement sources said Tuesday.
Two sources said Farook and Malik had practiced their shooting skills at a Riverside, California-area gun range for a year or more before last Wednesday's attack on a holiday office party. They killed 14 people and wounded 21 more with firearms at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino.
Counterterrorism officials also told NBC News that Farook and Malik were making preparations for some time to "take care of both grandma and the baby." The couple lived in a Redlands, California residence with their 6-month-old daughter and Farook's 62-year-old mother, Rafia Farook. They left their daughter with Rafia Farook on the morning of the attack.
Investigators are examining a $28,500 deposit made to Farook's bank account in the weeks before the Dec. 2 rampage. A U.S. counterterrorism official said that he didn't have details on the transfer, but that it "would be consistent with them making preparations for grandma and the kid."
You may now bet your last dollar that our government will 1) let grandma keep the cash and 2) give her welfare benefits 'for the sake of the child'...
"They had purposely thought through that problem," said the official. "There were other indications of preparations."
Reuters reported that the loan to Farook was made by the online lender Prosper. In a statement, Prosper said that the company is "prohibited by law from disclosing any non-public, personally identifiable information regarding any loan originated through our platform."
"All loans originated through the Prosper platform are subject to all identity verification and screening procedures required by law, including U.S. anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws," the spokesperson said. "Like all Americans, Prosper is shocked and saddened by recent events in San Bernardino."
Shocked enough to help law enforcement?
And a senior law enforcement official told NBC News Tuesday that FBI investigators have been told that Farook discussed staging an attack in California as early as 2012.
The official said investigators don't yet know what to make of the claim, although they say it may bolster their growing suspicion that Farook was radicalized long before he returned from Saudi Arabia last year with his wife.
He went to Soddy-controlled Arabia to get someone who would help him with the job. We're going to discover, as time goes on, that this was an operation that was both opportunistic -- Farook fell into the hands of ISIS -- and at the same time well planned.
The latest revelations come after NBC News reported Monday that federal investigators are interviewing a neighbor of Farook and Malik who bought two of the four guns that were used in the massacre. That man, Enrique Marquez — who NBC News has learned is an in-law of Farook — had converted to Islam about three or four years ago, according to the son of the imam at the Islamic Center of Riverside.
And went to the same armory mosque, where introductions were made and instructions passed down...
Marquez, along with Farook and Malik, attended the mosque, officials have said. In 2014, records show, Marquez married a woman named Mariya Chernykh — the sister of Tatiana Farook, who is married to Syed Rizwan Farook's brother, Syed Raheel Farook.
Are the sisters from Chechnya?
Both Tatiana and Syed Raheel Farook were witnesses at the ceremony, according to public records.
Enrique Marquez and Mariya Chernykh also listed their home address as the same one belonging to Syed Raheel Farook and his father.
Muhammed Kuko, the son of the imam at the Islamic Center of Riverside, told NBC News that Marquez went to Friday prayers there in addition to working at its bookstore. He said he heard Marquez was a gun hobbyist, and he came across as mild-mannered, smiling and helpful — and Kuko never heard him express any extreme or conservative views. He said he would be shocked if Marquez was knowingly an accomplice to the massacre.
Shocked, shocked indeed. And deep down, pleased...
Kuko added that Farook was also reserved and mild-mannered, and sometimes liked to play on the mosque's basketball court.
Marquez has not been named as suspect in the case, and investigators say he has been cooperative. Law enforcement sources said he bought the two semiautomatic rifles used in last week's attack in 2011 and 2012. All four guns were purchased legally, officials have said.
And then given illegally to Farook. Marquez is going to be doing some time in a federal prison when this is over.

Given the results, I wouldn't say they "practiced."
It would appear in this article [dated Dec 5] that Malik's extended family had strong ties to Islamic Radical elements in Pakistan, yet the State Dept. Investigation for her K-1 fiance visa found no such issues and allowed her to enter the US to marry Farook and establish permanent residence.
Sort of begs the question regarding gov't "vetting" of refugees or anyone else for that matter. That of course assumes there ever was a question regarding governmental abilities.
#2
In the U.S., immigration officials and politicos act as if there is some entitlement that requires we accept the Muslims from places that are our enemy into our country. That is insanity.
[Breitbart] San Bernardino school officials have revealed that due to his job as a San Bernardino County health inspector, terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook inspected eleven school sites in the county for months before he massacred 14 people and wounded 21 others last week.
Less than 24 hours before the massacre, San Bernardino City Unified School District officials discovered that Farook visited one site only two months before the shootings. Appears some potential primary targets may have been identified. The number of schools visited also closely parallels the pipes or pipe bombs found at the terrorist residence. At a minimum, 'placement and access' along with the ability to conduct pre-attack surveillance has been established.
#2
Having spent some time in that part of the world, the hiring of a 'Muslim health inspector' here in the States, seems just a bit odd. But I suppose anything is possible in the gov't hiring process.

Imagine a Beslan butchery here. It probably would finally be enough to break the leash of constraint. I wouldn't want it to happen but I'd enjoy the total melt down of the MSM remaining cred trying to cover for the enemy. It would be the point where you could openly call the anti-American Left for what they are.
#7
Well, first it was 12 pipe bombs found at the residence, with one multiple charge bomb at the workplace that failed to ignite or be set off. Now it's 19 pieces of pipe, with no further mention of 'hobby car' firing devices or bomb contents.
I remain skeptical of the Bureau's evolving story, as always.

I remain skeptical of the Bureau's evolving story, as always.
It's really too early to say there's valid data. What we're getting is the media scrambling to put together "news," while the Bureau, LE, WH, various interest groups, etc. try to massage information to suit their ends. At this point it's mostly noise.
#10
I suspect that he seemed very American when he got the job. He was born in the US and his brother was in the military. I think something happened later in his life, by then, even if anyone noticed, firing someone of color can get complicated.
#11
How explosive is a pipe bomb? If you planted one in a caffeteria and blew it up at the busiest time of day would you even get all the kitchen staff? Lots of metal equipment that could block an explosion. I'd be searching for poison at the fellow's residence on the off chance he wanted to kill large numbers.
#12
If he poisoned the ketchup at every cafeteria for example we might have taken a long time to figure out why kids were dropping off here and there around the county.
Mommy and Daddy were already jihadis-in-waiting. He spent his life with a chip on his shoulder; all it took was for him to decide to "defend his religion".

Remember Beslan.
The irony is even iff there was "total" gun control, e.g. pre- and post-1991 Commie-Soviet Bloc incidents IT LIKELY WOULD NOT HAD PREVENTED ANY DEDICATED CRIMINAL(S) FROM KILLING EN MASSE WID BLACK MARKET ANDOR NON-GUN WEAPONS.
The slaughter would've been more violent, more bloodier, + on a much larger overt or covert scale than anything in the US.
Riverside County marriage licenses confirm that Enrique Marquez, the man authorities said bought the assault rifles used in the San Bernardino shootings and Syed Raheel Farook, brother of shooter Syed Rizwan Farook, were both married to sisters.
The women are both from Russia.
Suspected terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook and Marquez were both witnesses at the June 2013 wedding of Syed Raheel Farook, the documents show.
Marquez was married in November 2014.

[DAWN] Chief Of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif ..Pak chief of army staff, meaning he pulls the strings on the Nawaz Sharif puppet to make it dance and sing and not do much at all.... on Tuesday signed the death warrants of four "hardcore terrorists" nearly one week after four men were hanged through a military court order for involvement in the 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. Army Public School attack.
An ISPR statement issued Tuesday evening said the men were convicted for "slaughtering, suicide kaboom, abduction for ransom and funding Lions of Islam organizations".
The ISPR statement said four men, namely Noor Saeed alias Hafiz Sahib, Murad Khan, Inayatullah, Khakay Khan and Israruddin alias Abu Lais will be hanged, but did not provide further details on the cases against them.
Last week, the warrants of Maulvi Abdus Salam, Hazrat Ali, Mujeebur Rehman and Sabeel alias Yahya were signed by the army chief, and they were hanged days later in a Kohat jail. The men were convicted by a military court and hanged just days ahead of the first anniversary of the APS attack on December 16.

[ARABNEWS] Iraqi security forces on Tuesday recaptured a large area on the southwestern side of Ramadi from the Daesh [Islamic State] group, which overran the city in May, officials said.
Retaking the Al-Tameem area from Daesh [Islamic State] is a significant breakthrough for Iraqi forces, which have been fighting for months to secure territory around Ramadi, a major city west of Baghdad and the capital of the vast Anbar province.
"Today, our forces completely cleared the Al-Tameem area after a fierce battle against Daesh [Islamic State]gunnies," Sabah Al-Noman, the front man for Iraq's counter-terrorism service, said.
Daesh [Islamic State]Death Eaters "had no choice except to surrender or fight and they were completely destroyed," Noman said.
Maj. Gen. Hadi Irzayij, the police chief for Anbar, confirmed that Al-Tameem had been retaken as did Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasool, the front man for the Joint Operations Command.
"The liberation of Al-Tameem will greatly help in speeding up the liberation of the city of Ramadi," Rasool said. "Iraqi forces are ready and close to entering the center of the city," Irzayij said.
Iraqi forces were working to clear bombs planted by Daesh [Islamic State] in Al-Tameem, which is bordered by a branch of the Euphrates River that divides it from the next bad boy-held area.
Daesh [Islamic State] overran large parts of Iraq in June 2014, including major territory in Anbar, which stretches from the borders with Syria, Jordan and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... to the western approach to Baghdad.
Shifting parts of Ramadi, located 100 km from Baghdad, had been held by anti-government fighters since the beginning of 2014. But Daesh [Islamic State] did not succeeded in completely overrunning it until May of this year.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has halted a deployment of troops to northern Iraq but will not obey Iraq's request to withdraw those already there, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, insisting they had been sent with Iraq's knowledge to help fight Daesh [Islamic State].
The arrival of a heavily armed Turkish contingent at a camp near the frontline close to the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... has added yet another controversial deployment to a war against Daesh [Islamic State] that has drawn in most of the world's major powers.
Ankara says its troops are in Iraq to train Iraqi forces. "Training at this camp began with the knowledge of the Iraqi Defence Ministry and police," Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said.

[IS Times] Some 4,000 plush toys of rock-throwing men dressed in Palestinian garb were intercepted Tuesday at the Haifa port by Israeli authorities, who said the dolls were headed for the Palestinian Authority and were part of an incitement campaign. Methods of radicalization, actually no mystery at all.
[IsraelTimes] Nazareth family members purchased guns, trained for attacks in Israel, after becoming more religious, security service says
Israel has jugged Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! five Israeli Arabs from Nazareth on suspicion of supporting 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.... and preparing to carry out terror attacks, the Shin Bet security service announced Tuesday.
The cell's members, all reportedly members of the same family, were arrested in October and November in a joint operation of the Shin Bet and Israel Police, according to officials.
The men were named as Abd al Karim Ihab Abdel Rahman Suleiman, 22; Mohammed Ihab Abdel Rahman Suleiman, 18; Abdel Karim Jamal Ali Suleiman, 23; Mohammed Salah Mohammed Suleiman, 19 and Murad Mohammed Salim Suleiman, 27.
The five relatives held secret meetings and trained in the use of weapons ahead of planned attacks in Israel, according to the Shin Bet. Over the past year, the suspects became more religious and expressed support of the Islamic State and the so-called jihad against apostates.
Earlier this year, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon declared the Islamic State an illegal organization, making support for the pseudo-caliphate a crime in Israel.
Two rifles, a Russian SKS and a Swedish Carl Gustav were also confiscated in the arrests, after the suspects revealed the weapons' whereabouts. According to the security service, they practiced using the guns in a grove not far from Nazareth.
The police's Northern District filed indictments against all five men at the Nazareth District Court on counts of illegal possession of weapons, supporting an illegal terror group and meetings held in support of an illegal organization.
At least 40 Israelis are believed to have joined the Islamic State in recent years, according to Shin Bet assessments.

Essentially two stories in one:
[StrategyPage] After the November 13 ISIL attacks in Paris France decided to greatly increase its aerial bombing in Syria. Since France had worked with the United States before in fighting ISIL and both were NATO members, the Americans were asked to help with finding targets to hit.
The French quickly discovered that the Americans had discovered many valuable ISIL targets that they had not hit because there was some risk of hurting civilians. French intelligence officers (in charge of identifying targets) were surprised as it was understood that there was always some risk of hitting civilians but believed that the risk had been vastly reduced with the widespread introduction of precision bombs and missiles.
The French soon discovered that since 2008 American aerial bombing efforts had been continually ordered to reduce civilian casualties more and more. The French discovered that over Syria about 75 percent of American warplanes sent out to attack ISIL targets returned without attacking anything because there had been some risk of civilian casualties. American staff officers told their French counterparts, off-the-record, that there were plenty of critical (to ISIL) targets the U.S. could hit but have not been able to because ISIL keeps civilians in the vicinity.
The Russians, who do not coordinate attacks on ISIL with the Americans, had found many of the same key targets the Americans knew about and bombed them. This caused more damage to ISIL in a few weeks than the Americans had in over a year. The French were free to hit those targets and the French proceeded to do just that. The U.S. government has not interfered with this, at least not yet.
One unpublicized achievement of the American led air campaign against Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Syria has been the remarkably small number of civilian casualties. This bombing campaign began in August 2014 and despite over 8,200 targets hit (with smart bombs or missiles) since then there were only a few incidents of civilians being killed. Pilots and troops on the ground have complained how this was accomplished by putting priority on not hurting civilians rather than on doing the greatest damage to ISIL.
While the Islamic terrorists were hoping for civilian casualties, to use for mobilizing international media criticism of the air attacks in general, they could only muster about 60 seemingly real accusations of civilians being killed. Only ten percent of those survived close examination and the number of civilians killed was miniscule compared to the number of Islamic terrorist deaths and historically extremely low. But the Islamic terrorists were quietly pleased that they had been able to protect their most valuable targets by using civilians as human shields.
For ISIL even the threat of civilian losses to air strikes had proved a valuable asset in Syria and Iraq. In this respect ISIL is benefitting from pioneering work done by the Afghan Taliban to make it more difficult for Western air forces to use their smart bombs and superior sensors to find and cripple Islamic terrorists on the ground. American, Iraqi and other Arab leaders are complaining that the restrictive American ROE (Rules Of Engagement) are and how these rules severely limits the number of targets that can be hit.
As a result ISIL can move around more freely despite the constant presence of coalition aircraft overhead. That is no longer the case now that the French, Russians and most Arab air forces are ignoring the American ROE to go after things ISIL cannot afford to lose. In response the American ROE has been loosened up a bit.

..cause the AF insists only pilots run drones? There are only so many available who are not working their careers up through the fighter mafia ranks.

Yup. That's the reason there haven't been any ARCLIGHT strikes in the Muddled East, even though the Vietnam War proved how effective they are in destroying the will of an enemy to fight. One ARCLIGHT strike over Raqqa or Mosul would have more effect than all the precision strikes since 9/11. Our "leadership" isn't just incompetent, it's on the other side.

[AlAhram] A commander and a child soldier were among 11 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 fighters killed Tuesday in air strikes on Raqa, the bad boys' de facto capital in Syria, a monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights was unable to specify the nationality of the aircraft that carried out the raids nor the identity of the slain commander.
The man was killed in a strike on the Ferdaos district, while raids elsewhere in and around the city killed 10, including a child soldier from the ranks of the "Cubs of the Caliphate", said the Observatory.
Raqa is frequently the target of air strikes by the US-led coalition, as well as the Syrian air force and Russian warplanes that began an air campaign in Syria in late September.
The US-led coalition has expanded its operations in recent days, partly in response to the deadly attacks in Gay Paree claimed by ISIS. Britannia voted on Wednesday to join the coalition's strikes in the war-torn country.
Russia stepped up strikes against ISIS after the group claimed to have downed a Russian passenger plane over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in October.
At least 32 ISIS fighters were killed Sunday in apparent US-led air strikes on Raqa province, said the Britannia-based Observatory.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday that Russia had for the first time struck 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.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) targets in Syria with missiles fired from a submarine in the Mediterranean.
"The targets were two large terrorist positions in the territory of Raqqa," Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... in a televised meeting, adding that the Calibre missiles had been fired from the submarine Rostov-on-Don.
"We can say with complete confidence that fairly serious damage was done to weapons stores and a factory for preparing mines and, naturally, oil infrastructure."
Shoigu said Russia had informed Israel and the United States in advance of its plan to launch missiles from a submarine.
He said that, over the previous three days, Russia's air force had flown more than 300 sorties over Syria and struck more than 600 targets of various types.
Russian bombers flying over Syria were being accompanied by fighter jets, as Putin had ordered, he added.
Russia began intervening directly in Syria's civil war at the end of September with air strikes in support of its ally, Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... But the intervention has had unintended consequences, notably when The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... shot down a Russian fighter jet that it said had strayed into Turkish airspace, an allegation that Russia denies.
Putin told Shoigu that Russian Sherlocks should open the flight recorder of the Russian plane only in the presence of international experts, "to carefully document everything."

Lest we fergit, wid the USDOD about to open any + all combat jobs to women, nothing in my post is in-feasible in this Age or Era of US-led Anti-US OWG-NWO + Globalism.
UN "PEACE-KEEPING"/POLICE ACTIONS = SYNONYMOUS WID "LOW-INTENSITY" WAR OR WORLD WAR, ERGO WOMEN IN COMBAT INCLUDING SENDING WOMEN ON ATTACK MISSIONS FORMERLY OR HISTORICALLY CARRIED OUT BY MEN.
FYI 'tis also a old childhood dream or vision of mine from childhood, like Chinese "white" ships off Guam.
* FYI also from WORLD NEWS > [HuffPo] WILL GUAM [ [+ US Forward Bases in Pacific] BE AMERICA'S NEXT "PEARL HARBOR"?, or "Pearl Harbor(s)" given China's long histoire' wid conducting sudden military surprise attacks on its enemies.
As for Darth Vlad, RUSSIA'S MILITARY BADLY NEEDS THE REAL-TIME PRACTICE; + RUSSIA ALSO NEEDS BOTH THE MEDIA + MILPOL CREDIBILITY, + "SPHERE(S) OF INFLUENCE" AS WELL BEFITTING A OWG "CO-SUPERPOWER" ON PAR WID AMERIKA.
Russia, China, + Iran must Geopol expand as Amerika unilaterally or self retreats Geopol.
As for Darth Vlad, since the Bammer isn't going to do anything or much to stop His + Co-Superpower Russia's rise, THE ONLY THING THE BAMMER MAY BE WILLING TO DO IS HIT PUTIN = RUSSIA IN SOME BENIGN, ALTERNATIVE OR DIVERSIONARY WAY.
Prolly safe to say the Bammer = USA is helping Russia's struggling econ by allowing Russia to openly promote its weapons vee Russia's mauling of the ISIS in comparison to Obama's much-criticized drone program.
