Hippie Is Planning a Peace Concert in ISIS-Controlled Syria
The world's latest Darwin Award candidate
[DailyBeast] James Twyman, ‘Peace Troubadour,’ is embarking on ‘the most important and dangerous peace mission’ of his life—to the Israel-Syria border and beyond, wielding his classical guitar.
No, not El Kabong, but I suspect this may involve a bong...
ISIS generally doesn’t respond well to music.

But that isn’t stopping James Twyman, an author and musician based in Portland, Oregon, from planning a trip to ISIS-held territory in Syria later this month to help bring peace to the region through the power of a musical-prayer concert.
Peace, power. Anyone seeing what's wrong with this picture?
“Performing the peace prayers in ISIS Controlled Syria will be the most important and dangerous peace mission of my life,” the self-described “Peace Troubadour” blogged last month.
And the last mission, I suspect...
“Every peace mission I’ve been on has been dangerous, but this journey is without question the most perilous, and in my opinion—the most important,” Twyman wrote. “People everywhere are concerned about the escalating violence in the Middle East, especially with the rise of ISIS, but they don’t feel empowered to be part of the solution. That is what we are about to change.”
About two generations too late with regard to noticing Middle East violence, aren't you? About the same in what to do about it, as well, doncha think?
Twyman, slinging his Cordoba classical guitar, is scheduled to fly out Jan. 20. He’ll first spend a weekend in Italy getting ready for the show, then will hop a flight to Tel Aviv to meet a handful of supporters and organizers. From there they’ll travel to the Israel-Syria border and set up their musical-prayer homebase in Majdal Shams, an Israeli-occupied Druze town in Syrian territory. (Twyman traveled to the same town in 2013 for a previous peace vigil for Syria.)
All under the careful protection of Israeli forces. They should send him a bill when he is done...
“The people there are very anti-ISIS and anti-terrorism—it’s where we’ll set up our base of operations,” he told The Daily Beast.

Twyman is aware of the kidnappings, the high-profile beheadings, the whole war, the State Department Syria travel warning, and all that jazz. He says that, despite his website’s bold phrasing, he is taking all necessary precautions for his potential ISIS-land gig.

"Give me one falafel."

Says the pieman to Simple Twyman,
"Show me first your karma."
Sang Simple Twyman to the pieman,
"Make me a shawarma."

Simple Twyman sang to ISIS
As he crossed the border,
"How your peaceful faith entices...
Ouch... besides the torture."

Simple Twyman lies in pieces
Somewhere in the desert;
All you'll find's a spot of grease
And tie-dyed hempen hairshirt.

Arabia
Saudi Arabia to try 4 Iranians for spying, terrorism
[DAWN] Four Iranians including an alleged spy will stand trial in 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...
, local media reported Friday, as a diplomatic crisis festers between the regional rivals.

The Arab News daily reported that three of the suspects are alleged "terrorists" while another is accused of espionage. It gave no details of the accusations.

The Saudi Gazette said they were nabbed
Please don't kill me!
in 2013 and 2014, but did not identify them.

A fifth Iranian is already serving a 13-year jail term following his conviction for recruiting young Saudis to fight in neighbouring countries, the newspapers said.

Europe
It doesn't happen in other advanced countries.

Yet, despite the impression that President Obama has been creating, France suffered more casualties (murders and injuries) from mass public shootings in 2015 than the US has suffered during Obama's entire presidency (Updated 532 to 396). Note that these numbers don't adjust for the fact that the US has 4.98 times the population of France. The per capita rate of casualties in France is thus 8.19 per million and for the US it is 1.22 -- France's per capita rate of casualties is thus 6.68 times higher than the rate in the US.
The diff couldn't be due to armed citizenry---could it?
Chicago could look at this as a challenge...

Paris Fake Suicide Vest Attacker Identified by Family
[AnNahar] The man rubbed out by police after trying to storm a Gay Paree cop shoppe brandishing a meat cleaver appears to have been identified by his family, a source close to the investigation said Friday.

The man, who attacked the cop shoppe on Thursday wearing a fake boom jacket, was said to be a Tunisian named Tarek Belgacem.

He was killed by officers as he ran towards the entrance of the cop shoppe shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest"), exactly a year to the day since the massacre of journalists at the Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...

Based on his fingerprints, police initially identified him as Sallah Ali, born in 1995 in Casablanca, a homeless man who was incarcerated
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
for theft in 2013.

But Gay Paree prosecutor Francois Molins said Friday that the identity he gave was "not at all certain" since he was carrying no documents at the time of his arrest.

"This identity (he gave in 2013) is contradicted by a hand-written note that we found in his clothes," Molins told La Belle France Inter radio. "He is not known to the intelligence services under this name."

Investigation sources told AFP that individuals claiming to be the parents and cousin of Belgacem have identified him from his photo.

"There is therefore a very strong indication that it is him, but it is still to early to speak of a formal identification," the source said.

Molins said the man was carrying a mobile phone with a German SIM card, with French media saying it contained several messages in Arabic, some of which were sent from Germany.

His note was written in Arabic with a hand-drawn flag of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

group (IS).

The cop shoppe is in the 18th district of Gay Paree, an area with a mainly North African population close to the tourist hotspot of Montmartre.

Sexual assaults row leads to dismissal of police chief in Germany
[DAWN] Cologne's police chief was dismissed on Friday amid mounting criticism of his force's handling of a string of New Year's Eve sexual assaults and robberies.

Wolfgang Abers had faced mounting criticism for the police's handling of the alleged New Year's Eve attacks on women by groups of men who were part of a larger crowd of some 1,000 described as being of "Arab or North African origin."

Police initially failed to mention the attacks around Cologne's main station in their report the following morning, describing the New Year festivities as "largely peaceful".

Albers acknowledged the mistake earlier this week, but dismissed widespread criticism that officers were overwhelmed and reacted too slowly in protecting the women.

"When the situation became tense in front of the train station - there were a thousand men who were completely out of control - the police cleared the square," he had told public broadcaster ARD. "It was a difficult operation and the police did an exemplary job."

Witnesses, however, told a different story. German media quoted dozens of women who said they were followed by groups of men who groped them, tried to pull off their clothes and stole valuables.

An internal police report also widely published in German media on Thursday indicated strongly that police were overwhelmed and described how women had to run through mobs of drunken men outside Cologne's main train station.

The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia on Friday said it was sending 60-year-old Wolfgang Albers into early retirement.

The state's interior minister, Ralf Jaeger, said the move was "necessary to restore public trust and the Cologne police's ability to act, with a view to upcoming major events."

It is pertinent to mention that Cologne's annual carnival is next month, and the government is on its toes to ensure such a situation may not arise again.

Home Front: WoT
Kuwaiti Detainee Repatriated from Guantanamo Bay
[AnNahar] A Guantanamo Bay inmate has been transferred from the U.S. military prison back to his home country of Kuwait, the Pentagon announced Friday, bringing the prison's remaining population down to 104.

"The Department of Defense announced today the repatriation of Faez Mohammed Ahmed al-Kandari from the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to the government of the state of Kuwait," the Pentagon said in a statement.

The U.S. military and intelligence agencies had "determined continued law of war detention of al-Kandari does not remain necessary," and that al-Kandari was no longer considered a significant threat to U.S. security.

According to his leaked prison file, published by the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, 40-year-old Al-Kandari was a "committed member" of al-Qaeda and was an influential religious figure for the group's fighters in Afghanistan.

He was initially captured in December 2001, and sent to Guantanamo in May the following year.

President Barack Obama
The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person...
pledged to shut Guantanamo when he took office in 2009, but his efforts have been repeatedly thwarted by Congress.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter last month approved the transfer of 17 low-risk detainees from Guantanamo, and two of these were released Wednesday.

In all, 45 inmates have been approved for transfer and the Pentagon is trying to find countries to take them. Many are from Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
and cannot go back there given the country's collapse into civil war.

Generally, an inmate is subject to monitoring and rehabilitation once he arrives in a host country.

Since 2002, a total of 779 detainees have been held at Guantanamo in connection with America's "war on terror."

Inmates are kept without recourse to regular U.S. legal processes and some likely will die in prison without ever being convicted of a crime.

#2  He was met by a welcoming committee, according to An Nahar today:

The last Kuwaiti prisoner in the U.S. Guantanamo Bay prison returned home Saturday to a family reception after 14 years of detention, the head of a detainee group said.

Faez Mohammed Ahmed Al-Kandari became the last of 12 Kuwaitis held for long terms in the prison as the United States prepares to close the facility.

"He looked tired but his morale was very high. He was welcomed at the airport by his father, two brothers and uncle," Khalid al-Oudah, head of the society of families of Kuwaiti prisoners in Guantanamo, who was also present, told Agence France Presse.

Kandari was immediately taken to a military hospital for medical examination where dozens of relatives led by his mother were allowed to greet and talk to him freely, Oudah said.

The former prisoner was brought back to the Gulf state aboard a private jet which flew from Guantanamo to the emirate via Casablanca, Morocco.

Oudah said Kandari will remain in hospital for some time and only his close family members will be allowed to visit him.

He will then be taken to a rehabilitation centre for more than six months after which prosecutors will interrogate him and decide whether to pursue legal action, Oudah said.

Oudah thanked the efforts of Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and other authorities in securing the return of Kandari.

India-Pakistan
Two suspects confess in Imran Farooq murder case
[DAWN] Two men suspected of being involved in the murder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement
...English: United National Movement, generally known as MQM, is the 3rd largest political party and the largest secular political party in Pakistain with particular strength in Sindh. From 1992 to 1999, the MQM was the target of the Pak Army's Operation Cleanup leaving thousands of urdu speaking civilians dead...
's self-exiled leader Dr Imran Farooq recorded their confessional statements before the Islamabad deputy commissioner on Thursday, sources said.

The FIA had enjugged
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
three suspects -- Khalid Shamim, Mohsin Ali Syed and Moazzam Ali -- for their alleged role in Dr Farooq's murder.

While Shamim and Mohsin Ali confessed to their involvement, Moazzam Ali, said to be the prime suspect, was unwilling to come up with a confession, sources in the prosecution told Dawn.

In his statement recorded under Section 164 of the criminal procedure code, Mohsin said that Moazzam had handled the travel documents to live in the United Kingdom.

According to private news channel Geo News, Mohsin in his statement gave graphic details of the murder.

He said that at a university hostel in London he and his accomplice Kashif Khan Kamran, whose whereabouts are not known and may have died, prepared a plot to kill Dr Farooq.

He said they monitored the movement of Dr Farooq in London to know about his routine.

On the day of the murder, he said, he grabbed Dr Farooq while Kashif stabbed him and then bludgeoned him with a brick to ensure his death.

Shamim said that he had consented to join the murder plot because he was a diehard MQM activist, sources said.

Shamim claimed that senior MQM leader Muhammad Anwar gave the order to assassinate Dr Farooq.

The JIT constituted to investigate the murder had suggested that MQM chief the increasingly enormousAltaf Hussain
..The head of MQM in Pakistain, who has lived in London and hasn't laid eyes on Pakistain since Caesar made corporal. Judging from the size of him,he may be a Hutt...
regarded Dr Farooq as a threat and wanted him eliminated.

The JIT report also noted that all three suspects were members of the All Pakistain Muttahida Students Organisation, the MQM's student wing.

The suspects were sent to Adiyala jail on 14-day judicial remand by an Islamabad anti-terrorism court.

The gruesome murder took place on Sept 16, 2010, near Dr Farooq's London home.

The London police had named Mohsin Ali Syed and Mohammad Kashif Khan Kamran as desperados in connection with the murder as they were in the UK when Dr Farooq was murdered. They arrested the three men during the last five years but released them later without filing any charges.

However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
it was widely reported that both Mohsin and Kamran had been taken into custody by Pak intelligence agents the moment they landed at Bloody Karachi

airport in 2010.

The third suspect, Khalid Shamim, was allegedly taken into custody in January 2011 and a petition regarding his 'illegal detention and going missing' was filed by his wife in the Sindh High Court.

Pakistan reiterates support to India on Pathankot incident
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: A high-level meeting on Friday, presided over by Prime Minister Nawaz 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....
, reviewed the regional situation and reiterated Pakistain's commitment to cooperate with India on Pathankot incident.

The country's top civil and military leadership re-affirmed Pakistain's strong condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, Radio Pakistain reported.

It reviewed the progress made on the information provided by India. Furthermore, it was decided to remain in touch with the Indian government in this regard.

During the meeting, it was reaffirmed that Pakistain is committed to eradicate the menace of terrorism from the region.

The participants of the meeting made it clear that the people of Pakistain have evolved a political consensus for action against all murderous Moslems and terrorist organizations without any distinction.

"They have resolved that no terrorist would be allowed to use Pakistain's soil for committing terrorism anywhere in the world," said a statement issued by PM House.

The meeting expressed the confidence that building on the goodwill generated by the recent high level contacts, the two countries would remain committed to a sustained, meaningful and comprehensive dialogue process.

India on Thursday said it is awaiting Pakistain's response on the information provided related to the Pathankot incident, following which it will decide on the resumption of bilateral peace talks scheduled for later this month.

India's foreign ministry said Islamabad has been given actionable intelligence that those who planned the assault came from Pakistain.

Seven Indian coppers and four suspected gunnies were killed during an assault, on Indian air base near the Pakistain border, which threatened to undermine the two countries' fragile grinding of the peace processor.

"Neither the Pakistain army nor the nation is for rent, we will oppose any attempts to sell the army to the house of Saud for a few billion riyals," said Shia activist Gul-e-Zahra, addressing the Friday's rally.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Left-wing Israeli says he helps kill Palestinians who sell land to Jews
[IsraelTimes] Netanyahu says TV documentary 'unmasked murderous non-Moslems among us, whose hatred for settlements has pushed them over the edge'

A prominent Israeli campaigner for Paleostinian rights was recorded saying that he helps Paleostinian authorities find and kill Paleostinians who sell land to Jews.

The recording was aired Thursday by the television program Uvda of Israel's Channel 2. In it, Ezra Nawi, a Jewish far-left activist from the Ta'ayush group, is heard speaking about four Paleostinian real estate sellers, whom Nawi said mistook him for a Jew interested in buying their property.

"Straight away I give their pictures and phone numbers to the Preventive Security Force," Nawi is heard saying in reference to the Paleostinian Authority's counterintelligence arm. "The Paleostinian Authority catches them and kills them. But before it kills them, they get beat up a lot."

In the Paleostinian Authority, the penal code reserves capital punishment for anyone convicted of selling land to Jews. This law, which Paleostinian officials defended as designed to prevent takeovers by settlers, has not been implemented in Paleostinian courts, where sellers of land to Jews are usually sentenced to several years in prison. However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
in recent years several Paleostinian have been murdered for selling land. Their murders have remained unsolved.

Nawi was also documented obtaining information from a Paleostinian who believed Nawi was a Jew interested in purchasing land. Nawi is seen saying he intends to give that information to Paleostinian security officials as well. According to Uvda, an activist with the human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
group B'Tselem helped Nawi set up the would-be seller in a sting operation in which the seller would be tossed in the calaboose
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
The recordings and footage were collected by right-wing activists who secretly recorded Nawi.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Facebook Friday that the report "unmasked murderous Moslems among us, whose hatred for settlements has pushed them over the edge to the point of delivering innocents for torture and execution. Those who encourage murder cannot continue to hide behind the hypocritical pretense of caring for human rights."

IDF, Shin Bet note decrease in violence in December
[IsraelTimes] Though situation can quickly change, defense officials see reduction of 25% in attacks, 31% in casualties from previous month

Though Israelis remain on edge as the hunt for the prime suspect in the Tel Aviv shooting continues, the country's security forces released data with potentially good indications for the future on Thursday, showing that the number of Paleostinian attacks in December dropped considerably in comparison to previous months.

The current round of violence hit its peak in October, with some 620 attacks, according to the Shin Bet. The vast majority of these were incidents of Molotov cocktails being thrown at cars and during violent protests. In November that figure came down to 326, and last month it went down even further, to 246, a 24.5 percent reduction, the Shin Bet revealed in a statement.

's future, a point of contention between states on either side of the war.

Friday's statement by prominent rebel groups that support the idea of a political solution follows a meeting this week between a new opposition council and U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura, who aims to start negotiations on Jan. 25 in Geneva.

Opposition leaders told de Mistura the government must take goodwill steps before any negotiations, by halting bombardments of civilian areas, lifting blockades of rebel-held territory and releasing detainees. They are waiting to hear back from him.

The opposition council, set up to steer negotiations on the opposition side, was facing "international and U.N. pressure ... to offer concessions that will prolong the suffering of our people and the spilling of their blood", the rebels said.
