[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The United States government has designated the Khorasan branch 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) as a terrorist organization.
The Khorasan branch dubbed as 'Khorasan province -- Wilayah Khorasan' is the territorial scope of the terror group covering parts of Afghanistan and Pakistain but the loyalists of the terror group is mainly operational in some remote regions of Afghanistan bordering the Durand Line located between Afghanistan and Pakistain.
"The Department of State has announced the designation of ISIL-K as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act," a statement by the Department of State said.
The statement further added that the consequences of the FTO designation include a prohibition against knowingly providing, or attempting or conspiring to provide, material support or resources to this organization. The Department of State took this action in consultation with the Departments of Justice and the Treasury.
ISIL-K announced its formation on January 10, 2015, the State Department said, adding that the group is based in the Afghanistan/Pakistain region and is composed primarily of former members of Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistain and the Afghan Taliban. The big shotship of ISIL-K has pledged allegiance to His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... , the leader of ISIL.
This pledge was accepted in late January 2015 and since then ISIL-K has carried out suicide kabooms, small arms attacks and kidnappings in eastern Afghanistan against civilians and Afghan National Security and Defense Forces, and grabbed credit for May 2015 attacks on civilians in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , Pakistain, according to State Department.
The step by the State Department comes as there have been growing concerns that the terror group is gaining foothold in Afghanistan with the loyalists of the group attempting to consolidate their activities with the leadership of the group based in Syria and Iraq.
The officials have voiced concerns that the loyalists of the terror group is also attempting to create a regional base in Jalalabad city, the bustling provincial capital of 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.

[AlAhram] An attack on a security checkpoint in North Sinai resulted in the death of 4 army personnel and the destruction of three army vehicles by IEDs
The Egyptian Armed Forces killed 30 holy warriors and injured 10 on Thursday in North Sinai, said Egypt's army spokesperson Bridger General Mohammed Samir.
Samir announced on Thursday that a bad boy attack on a security checkpoint near the North Sinai city of Sheikh Zuweid resulted in the death of four army personnel. Eight more army personnel were maimed in the attack and three armed forces vehicles were destroyed by IEDs.
It is unclear whether the 30 holy warriors were all killed during the assault on the checkpoint or in retaliatory attacks by the army.
Samir added that military forces destroyed eight bad boy hideouts.
[IsraelTimes] IDF closes Kerem Shalom gateway as Egyptian army conducts operations against terrorists, reportedly killing 13
Israel closed the Kerem Shalom border crossing into the Gazoo Strip and pulled out operating crews on Thursday as the Egyptian Army engaged terrorist forces in the adjacent Sinai Peninsula.
Egyptian soldiers, backed with Arclight airstrikes, were reportedly operating in the area of Rafah, Sheikh Zuweid, and el-Arish which lie just seven kilometers (4.2 miles) from the Kerem Shalom gateway.
Thirteen jihadis were killed in the fighting, reports said.
The IDF said it closed the crossing, through which goods are transported into the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-run Gazoo Strip, as a precautionary measure, and that there was no imminent security threat in the area.
The measure was due to ongoing violence in the Sinai between 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.... Death Eaters and Egyptian forces, the military said.
The Kerem Shalom crossing is located on the southern tip of the Strip, next to the Egyptian border.
Hundreds of trucks delivering food, aid and other goods pass through the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Gazoo every day.
Ten Yemeni former inmates at the US detention centre in Guantanamo Bay arrived in Oman on Thursday for a "temporary stay" as Washington moves to close the notorious prison, Muscat's foreign ministry said.
"Hey! This ain't Aden!"
Mohammed Abd Al Rahman Al Shamrani was among the first prisoners taken to the US base in Cuba.
Oman has received the men "in response to a request by the US administration for help to resolve the issue of detainees at Guantanamo Bay," the ministry said in a statement carried by state news agency ONA.
More than 40 of the remaining inmates have been approved for transfer, and the Pentagon is trying to find countries to take them. Many are from Yemen and cannot go back given the country's collapse into civil war.
I think it's the perfect place for them...
Four of the detainees were captured by Pakistani forces after fleeing from Afghanistan in late 2001. Inmates were called "enemy combatants" and denied standard US legal rights,
Since they were 'enemy combatants', they weren't entitled to standard US legal rights, but the progs work their lies in wherever they can...
meaning many were held for years without charge or trial.
Some figures have estimated that up to 30 per cent of released detainees return to militant groups with the aim of carrying out attacks on Western targets.
Not that that fact bothers Champ...

[ALMANAR.LB] Bangladesh police on Thursday shot and killed two suspected commanders from a banned terrorist Death Eater group blamed for a deadly kaboom on a Shiite shrine in Dhaka, officers said.
Detectives raided a Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) hideout in the capital around midnight following a tip-off, triggering a shootout with police.
"Two hard boyz were maimed as police fired back after the hard boyz hurled a grenade and started shooting indiscriminately. They were declared dead after they were brought to Dhaka Medical College Hospital," a police statement said.
One of the commanders named as Kamal, alias Hiron, was a suspect in the attack on Dhaka's packed shrine in October that left two dead and dozens injured.
Deputy commissioner Sanwar Hossain said commanders Abdullah al Noman and Kamal, who used one name, were both prime suspects in the murder of a police constable at a check-post in November.
Three JMB hard boyz were also jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... during the overnight raid, police said.
Police have stepped up a crackdown on local terrorist hard boyz after the Muslim-majority country was left reeling from an upsurge in deadly violence last year blamed on religious Death Eaters.

[NRTTV] Turkish land forces have fired nearly 500 times on 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.... (IS) targets in Syria and Iraq, killing almost 200 Death Eaters in response to a suicide kaboom in Istanbul which killed 10 German tourists, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Thursday (Jan. 14).
"After it was understood that this heinous attack was carried out by Daesh [Islamic State], Turkish armed forces fired close to 500 artillery and tank shells on Daesh [Islamic State] positions in Syria and Iraq," Davutoglu told a conference of Turkish ambassadors in the capital Ankara, using an Arabic name for Islamic State (IS).
"Shelters of Daesh [Islamic State] in Bashiqa, Iraq as well as Syria, along our border, were hit with all our efforts. Close to 200 Daesh [Islamic State] members including so-called regional leaders were neutralized in the last 48 hours," he added.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... will also carry out air strikes against the radical Sunni group if necessary and will maintain its "determined stance" until IS fighters leave its border areas, Davutoglu said.
"From now on, every hand raised to harm Turkey, every threat against our guests will be retaliated in kind. Our struggle will continue until the terrorist organization Daesh [Islamic State] is completely wiped out from our borders in the short term, as long as they continue to defame the dignity of Islam in the region and in the world," he said.
"If they attempt to carry out terrorist attacks against our people and our guests, they should know that we will take every measure and we will retaliate against it. Even now, we continue to punish them with land strikes. Our air forces will also strike if deemed necessary," Davutoglu continued to say.

SARGODHA: The law enforcement agencies (LEAs) personnel arrested five suspected terrorists during a search operation on Thursday.
The police and agencies personnel responding to an actionable intelligence tip-off regarding presence of anti-state elements conducted a joint search operation in Istaqlal Colony Chungi no 12 Tariqabad and Chak 78 Northern of Sargodha.
During the operation that continued for more than three hours, the law enforcers searched more than 100 houses and arrested five suspected terrorists who were shifted to undisclosed location for interrogation.
GWADAR: Three suspected militants were killed in a gunbattle with security forces in Turbat area of Kech district on Thursday.
Official sources said that the personnel of Frontier Corps and an intelligence agency were searching Tabjan and Semi areas near Turbat on information about the presence of militants involved in a recent attack on the employees of Frontier Works Organisation.
During the search, a gunfight with suspects erupted which continued for hours resulting in the death of three suspected members of a banned militant organisation.
“Three militants have been killed and a large quantity of arms and ammunition was recovered from their hideout,” an FC spokesman said.
NEW DELHI: Members of a right-wing Hindu extremist group vandalised the office of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) near Barakhamba Road in New Delhi on Thursday, following which one person was arrested.
The Indian Express said four activists of the Hindu Sena went to all the three rooms in the office, vandalising furniture and computers. They also scattered some pamphlets while they dismantled a miniature replica of an aeroplane installed near the reception desk.
The outfit blamed Pakistan in connection with the attacks at Pathankot and the Indian consulate in Afghanistan.
“There should be no talks with Pakistan unless they take stern action against people who have caused damage to India and hand over people like Dawood Ibrahim and Hafiz Saeed to India,” it said.
“The arrested person has been identified as Lalit Singh, who is a member of Hindu Sena. Efforts are on to nab his associates,” DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal told reporters.
According to the police, the incident took place around 3.15pm when four Hindu Sena members entered the premises of PIA’s city office on the fifth floor of Narayan Manzil in the outer fringes of Connaught Palace.
By the time police teams reached the spot, three of them had fled and Singh was nabbed. Security was stepped up near the PIA office after the incident. A central security force team was also rushed there later, police said.
Owning responsibility for the incident, Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta said, “Through this act, the members of our Delhi unit have expressed their anger and sent a message to Pakistan that they should respect our sentiments and keep in mind that we are not weak.”
Gupta himself was arrested last October, days after he called up the police alleging that beef was being served at Kerala house canteen here.
Police intervention in the case, which Delhi top cop B.S. Bassi refrained from calling a raid, attracted severe criticism from several quarters, including the office of Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
The PIA office here was vandalised in August 2013 too allegedly by a right wing group in the wake of the death of an Indian soldier in a ceasefire violation by Pakistan forces along the LoC.

[IsraelTimes] Attacker shot and killed while stabbing soldier following assault on military vehicle
An IDF officer was lightly injured Thursday in a stabbing attack near Mount Ebal outside the West Bank city of Nablus, the military said.
Initial reports indicated that the victim, a company commander in the army's officers' training school, was injured in the hand during the attack.
The army said the assailant initially attacked a military vehicle patrolling the area, north of Nablus.
"When the forces exited the vehicle, in order to assess the situation, an assailant drew a knife and stabbed and maimed an IDF officer," a statement from the military said.
The attacker was shot and killed, the army said.
The officer was treated at the scene by army medics.
Initial reports indicated that a Molotov cocktail had been hurled at the army vehicle, but an IDF spokesperson said that was false, without elaborating.
Earlier Thursday a Paleostinian man attempting to stab a soldier was shot and killed by Israeli forces, the army said. The incident took place at Beit Anun junction, north of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
"A Paleostinian assailant, armed with a knife, attempted to stab an IDF soldier. Forces on site responded and fired toward the attacker, resulting in his death," the army said in a statement regarding the Thursday morning attack. There were no Israeli injuries.
On Tuesday, another Paleostinian man was shot and killed as he attempted to stab a soldier at the junction.

Both the Indonesian government and the White House are calling it a terrorist attack
So is it a "terrorist attack" to the White House because it happened outside the US, or because it happened in an Islamic state, or because it was so bloody obvious that even they couldn't explain it away?

[Bangkok Post] Three members of a village security team were injured, one seriously, by a bomb blast in Pattani province on Wednesday. The security team was patrolling a road passing a village in Mae Lan district, providing security for teachers and students. A home-made bomb planted under a coconut tree was set off as they passed.
[ARA News] KOBANE – Militants of the extremist group of Islamic State (ISIS) bombed residential neighborhoods in the Kurdish city of Kobane and its suburbs, northern Syria, causing a state of panic among civilians, local sources reported on Thursday.
The western part of Kobane city and several nearby villages were exposed to heavy shelling by ISIS militants based in Jarablus on the border with Turkey.
“Dozens of mortar shells fired by ISIS terrorists hit civilian’s houses in Kobane and its western countryside on Thursday,” local media activist Sleman Hosho told ARA News.
“The bombardment caused dozens of civilian casualties and mass displacement among the residents towards the eastern countryside of Kobane,” the source reported.
The ISIS-led attack also caused mass destruction in civilians’ houses in the area.
Hosho added that hundreds of families remained in their neighborhoods and villages despite the shelling.
“The horrific memories of ISIS atrocities against the Kurdish civilians in Kobane in the past are still remembered, and people are still afraid of similar scenarios to take place in case ISIS returns to the area. But the majority of Kobane residents insist to not leave their hometown again,” he said.
Speaking to ARA News in Kobane, one of the residents said: “The terrorist group is trying to send a massage to the people of Kobane that the war is not over yet and they will return to the area soon.”
“However, after the liberation of Kobane at the hands of the Kurdish forces, people are determined to stay in their homes despite the mounting risks. We won’t submit our land to those barbarians,” he said.
Over the past few months, dozens of civilians were reportedly killed in ISIS mortar attacks in Kobane.
Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Peshmerga, backed by allied Syrian rebels and the U.S.-led coalition’s air cover, liberated the city of Kobane and large parts of its countryside in January 2015, after nearly four months of battles against ISIS militants. Later on, the radical group tried to infiltrate into the area. Hit-and-run clashes continued between ISIS and the Kurdish forces until the formation of the western-backed alliance of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) that has recently pushed ISIS back in the southern and western countryside of Kobane.

[ARA News] DARAA – Top commander of al-Qaeda branch in Syria, the Nusra Front, was found dead after gunmen raided his office in Syria’s southern city of Daraa on Thursday.
Anas Abu Nabbut, aka Abu Abdullah, was killed by gunmen in the Balad district in central Daraa.
Nusra Front confirmed in a statement the death of its commander in Daraa, without providing further details on the incident.
“An anonymous group of gunmen shot Abu Abdullah dead and escaped Daraa after committing their crime,” leadership of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front said on Thursday.
Abu Abdullah, a prominent Jordanian member of al-Qaeda, was known for his opposition to the Islamic State group (ISIS).
He led several battles against ISIS in southern Syria over the past few months.
Pro-Nusra activists accused ISIS of ‘assassinating Abu Abdullah’ in a bid to impede Nusra’s progress in Syria’s southern province of Daraa.
However, none of the armed groups in Syria has claimed responsibility for the killing of Abu Abdullah so far.
[ARA News] HASAKAH – The Islamic State group (ISIS) released on Thursday a new batch of Assyrian Christian hostages who have been captured by the group in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah in February.
The Assyrian Network for Human Rights (ANHR) reported the release of 16 Christian hostages after nearly eleven months of being kept by ISIS militants.
The released hostages included eight children, three women and five men. They arrived in Tel Temir town of Hasakah province on Thursday afternoon.
The hostages were released after intensive negotiations between Assyrian figures, including archbishop Afram Ithnael, and ISIS leadership in northeastern Syria. The negotiations were reportedly facilitated by Arab tribal mediators.
This is the fourth batch of Assyrian hostages to be released by ISIS in two months.
“ISIS has so far freed 164 hostages out of 230 Christian civilians who have been taken during the group’s invasion into the Assyrian villages in Tel Temir area of Hasakah province last February,” the Assyrian Network for Human Rights said.
In February, militants of the Islamic State stormed a number of Christian villages in the area. Subsequent to fierce clashes with Kurdish forces and allied Assyrian fighters, the radical group took some 230 civilians as hostages before its withdrawal.
ISIS has earlier released several batches of Christian hostages after negotiations with Assyrian figures, supported by Arab tribal mediators in Hasakah province.

I'd bet on ransoms, Bobby. ISIS makes an awful lot of money on the sale of captives, whether as slaves or ransoms.
I'd equally bet the men and women were old, while the children were below the age of nine.
