[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The acting Afghan intelligence chief Massoud Andarabi has said the Taliban group will pursue violence with the full support of Pak military intelligence, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).
Briefing the Afghan politicians in the Lower House of the Parliament, Andarabi said the Taliban group will pursue violence in the summer as they are being supported by ISI and encouraged to increase violence and bring more areas under their control.
Andarabi further added that the enemies of the country were more hopeful last year considering the situation of the country as they eyed to capture more areas with persistent violence and increase their political legitimacy.
However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... Andarabi said the offensive by the Talibs group was repulsed as they failed to have strategic gains.
This is not the first time top Afghan security officials are criticizing Pakistain for interfering in internal affairs of the country.
The Afghan officials have long been slamming Pakistain, specifically the country’s military intelligence for supporting the anti-government gangs in Afghanistan.
The officials also criticize the Pak military intelligence for providing shelters to Afghan Death Eater groups, specifically the Taliban group and the notorious Haqqani network who are blamed for deadly attacks in the country.

Seven suspected Somali pirates are due in court in Paris on Tuesday over the hijacking of a French yacht that left the owner dead and his wife facing a hellish kidnapping ordeal.
Christian and Evelyne Colombo had sold everything to make their dream voyage around the world. But around lunchtime on Sept. 8, 2011, naval authorities received a distress signal from their “Tribal Kat” catamaran.
They had left the port of Aden in Yemen five days earlier and were heading for Oman, a journey that took them through notoriously pirate-infested waters. A German frigate found the boat several hours later. There were bullet holes in the deck and a pool of blood with a pair of glasses floating in it. No one was onboard.
Two days later, a Spanish warship located the skiff suspected to belong to the pirates. They tried to approach but turned away when the attackers dragged Evelyne Colombo into view, a gun to her head. The Spanish military prepared a raid and attacked a few hours later, leaving two pirates dead and the remaining seven arrested.
Evelyne Colombo told her rescuers that her husband’s body had been dumped into the sea. It was never found. She had spent a nightmarish 48 hours in the hands of the pirates, kept under a tarpaulin, drenched by waves and in constant fear of death.
The trial of the seven men, aged between 25 and 32, is due to run for a fortnight from March 29. They have given their professions as policeman, taxi driver, fisherman or even “coolie” — a old colonial-era term meaning “porter.” They face possible life imprisonment if convicted.
In France or in Somalia?
At least one may not face trial, having reportedly developed psychological problems in prison — a result not just of the isolated detention they currently face, but also of the miserable lives they experienced before.
“War… hunger… for these men to properly judged, the court must understand the hell from which they have come,” said one of their lawyers, Martin Reynaud.
How about the hell they put the Colombos through?
He added that this could only explain rather than excuse their actions, and said he was conscious of the ongoing pain experienced by the widow and two daughters left behind by Christian and Evelyne Colombo.
The accused have claimed the two men killed during the assault — identified as “Shine” and “Abdullahi Yare” — were the leaders of the operation, according to a police source.
Of course they were. And try to get them to deny it...
The investigators believe Yare was most likely the killer, but that all members of the gang were motivated by the desire to attack boats and claim ransoms through kidnapping.

That's why yard arms were so useful in the days when pirates were not pitied but hunted down.
[VANGUARDNGR] Borno State Chief Hunter, Mallam Maigana Maidurma, yesterday, renewed his appeal to the military to allow hunters in the state join the fight against Boko Haram in Sambisa Forest.
He said that the hunters were not afraid of any danger because most of them have supernatural powers, which will come in handy in the fight.
Maidurma, who made the call in Maiduguri, said they were eager to join the fight, as they are familiar with the terrain at the terrorists’ Sambisa hideout.
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side”
Han Solo
He said: “We are renewing our call on the military authorities to allow us join the search for Boko Haram elements in their Sambisa forest hideout. We are ready to pursue the terrorists because we know the terrain.”
He faulted claims in some quarters that the military was cautious of allowing the hunters join the fight due to suspected landmine buried by the terrorists around their hideout.
Maidurma said: “We know that it is true that the Boko Haram terrorists are in the habit of burying landmines to prevent encroachment into their hideout. But we believe that we can work in collaboration with local vigilantes, called Civilian JTF, to overrun them.
“Hunters from all 27 Borno local governments are all in Maiduguri with our leaders, doing nothing at present because of Boko Haram. Rather than idling away, we will want to assist the military in crushing Boko Haram terrorists.”
It will be recalled that the hunters had, last January, appealed to the military to allow them join the Boko Haram fight, without response.

[AITONLINE.TV] Following the recent video footage released by the 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... leader, Abubakar Shekau announcing and enjoining his fighters to surrender, a group, the Coalition for Women Advancement in Africa (COWAA) has described the development as a major breakthrough by the military in the war against the Boko Haram insurgency.
In a presser on Sunday, Executive Vice President of the group, Mrs Jummai Samuel Pukat said the group in its quest to authenticate the video, has recruited the services of forensic experts and can ascertain the veracity of the video by Shekau.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemen’s Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... militias, who control the capital Sanaa, have released nine Saudis in exchange for 109 Yemenis, the Saudi-led coalition said on Monday.
The move comes ahead of planned peace talks next month.
"Nine Saudi prisoners have been recovered and 109 Yemenis who were placed in durance vile Please don't kill me! in the military operations zone" near the border have been handed over, the coalition said in a statement.
The prisoner swap is the latest confidence-building measure in the lead-up to a planned ceasefire and peace negotiations next month.
Last week, UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed announced that the combatants have agreed to a ceasefire from midnight on April 10, to be followed by peace talks in Kuwait on April 18.

[Dhaka Tribune] Condemned war criminal and Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... Ameer Matiur Rahman Nizami will file a petition seeking review of the Appellate Division verdict that upheld his death sentence. "The review petition will be filed today with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court against his death sentences, upheld by the apex court, as all preparations have already been completed," Nizami’s son Barrister Nazib Momin was quoted as saying by BSS.
The apex court on March 15 released the 153-page judgement after its four judges concerned signed the verdict that upheld the Jamaat chief’s death penalty for war crimes.
International Crimes Tribunal issued a death warrant against the war criminal on the same day.
There is a provision of filing a review petition within 15 days after releasing the full verdict.
Nizami was given the death sentence on October 29, 2014 on four charges and life imprisonment on four other charges. He challenged the verdict at the apex court.
On January 6, the Appellate Division upheld the tribunal’s sentence for the al-Badr chief for criminal masterminding the killing of intellectuals and his involvement in two incidents of mass murders of over 500 people in Pabna in 1971.
He is the third former minister after Jamaat leader Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid and BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury to get the death penalty for his notorious role during the war.

[LI] Great Britain’s Foreign Office and Department for International Development ("DFID") have funneled million of Pounds, at least, to terrorists. The report from the Daily Mail details how the UK’s policy of spending .7% of revenue on foreign aid distorts priorities and leads it to fund terror. The Daily Mail report builds on a broader investigation from Palestinian Media Watch ("PMW") evidencing the Palestinian Authority’s ("PA") attempts to hide banned payments to terrorists from Western donors.
Palestinian Media Watch blows the whistle
In its expose', The Daily Mail cites PMW’s recent report discussing the PA’s deception of Western donors. According to the Daily Mail, "a devastating new report to be released this week by Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli NGO, suggests that Western donors have been duped by assertions that the Authority no longer funds terrorists."
Drawing on original Palestinian media, PMW documents the PA’s fraud on international donors. In 2011, PMW exposed that the PA was funneling foreign donations to terrorists and their families. Following international outcry, in 2014, the PA formally placed funding for convicted terrorists in the hands of the Palestine Liberation Organization -- the parent of Fatah and the PA itself.

From the Daily Mail article Legal Insurrection links to:
Despite claims of astonishing waste, the Government maintains a dogged adherence to the commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of the nationâs income on foreign aid â the highest proportion of any of the worldâs major economies â
[Dhaka Tribune] When Brussels police caught Salah Abdeslam, suspected sole survivor of November’s suicide assault on Gay Paree, they knew they were in a race against time to stop a new Dae’sh attack.
It was the afternoon of Friday, March 18, and one of Prime Minister Charles Michel’s cabinet ministers tweeted "We got him!" after Europe’s most wanted man was seized at a house in the capital’s Molenbeek neighbourhood.
But Michel was worried, according to a government official who was present at the time. The premier raced to his crisis command centre from a European summit nearby.

OTOH see LUCIANNE > [Daily Express.UK] EU [Socialists] ADMIT PLOT FOR FEDERAL SUPER-STATE [Federalized EU] AND DESCRIBE BRUSSLES ATTACKS AS AN "OPPORTUNITY", for closer Inter-EU Coop + ultimately Universal = Pan-EU Integration.
* WORLD NEWS, TOPIX, BIGNEWSNETWORK > ISIS SHIFTS ITS ATTENTION FROM MIDDLE EAST + AFRICA TO EUROPE WID BRUSSELS ATTACKS/TERROR STRIKES.
[CNN] The men dance to their favorite rapper, Lacrim, in a nightclub on Brussels' chic Avenue Louise.
Brahim Abdeslam, clearly visible, with a cigarette in his hand, flirts with a blond girl, while his younger brother Salah, dressed in an orange sweatshirt, whoops along with the group in the background.
This is a side of the Gay Paree attackers that has never been seen before.
The date is February 8, 2015.
Just over eight months later, Brahim would blow himself up at a cafe in Gay Paree's 11th arrondissement. His suicide was part of a deadly ISIS mission that would kill 130 people and injure hundreds more. Salah would become the only known member of that cell to survive and go on the run.
Fast forward another year to March 2016 and Salah is captured in the Belgian capital, which itself is rocked by its own twin attacks, bringing the effects of the Abdeslams' terror network right to the heart of their home city -- a city where those who knew the brothers reflect on how so many of their inner circle could have been radicalized so quickly.
Inside the story of the Gay Paree attack
Two friends, who filmed the video as they partied with Salah and Brahim that February night, agreed to share their stories with CNN, under the condition we hide their identities and speak far away from their neighborhood of Molenbeek.
So we meet in a park downtown, moments from the scene of the atrocity at Maelbeek metro station.
'A ladies' man'
Assuming false names, Karim and Rachid say they remember Brahim being the more serious one, while Salah was fun-loving.
"They were nice people," said Rachid. "I suppose you could say they lived life to the full."
"I saw Salah joke, smoke, drink and play cards," says Karim.
"If anything, he liked women. He was something of a ladies' man and I heard he had a girlfriend at one point."
Looking back, after that memorable night in February, Rachid says the brothers started to change.
"That was the last time I saw them drink," he says.
"Brahim started to become more religious. He would attend Friday prayers at the mosque but otherwise pray at home."
At least 8 suspects are on the lam with links to attacks in Brussels, Gay Paree
At the time, the friends said they had no idea that the two had embarked upon their journey toward radicalism.
"They must have been changing bit by bit."
Karim and Rachid say they do not espouse such views themselves, though a family member of Karim's was recently prevented by authorities from trying to join ISIS in Syria.
He was just 15 years old.
"It happened so quickly our family barely noticed," Karim says. "Also so much of it goes on behind closed doors, on line, in their rooms."
'Like family'
Unemployed, with eight months' jail time under his belt, Karim would spend his afternoons at the cafe Les Beguines, not far from his home, where he became close to its new owners -- the Abdeslams -- in 2011.
He says he and Rachid would smoke cannabis.
They'd play poker for money, peddle soft drugs, and watch the brothers' beloved football team, Real Madrid, on the TV, Brahim cheering on its star player Cristiano Ronaldo.
"It was a fun place. It felt like family," says Rachid.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Federal, state and local law enforcement officials in Minnesota met with more than three dozen local Muslims to let them know that authorities are here to protect them, and to urge community members to report incidents of hate crimes.
Thursday's meeting was held in response to this week's deadly attacks in Brussels. Several community members told authorities that after high-profile events like that, they feel scared.

Last week, it was reported that the FBI had figured out how to unlock the iPhone belonging to one of the shooters who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, CA, on Dec. 2, 2015. Now, it’s official, as the government has dropped its attempt to compel Apple to aid the FBI in bypassing the device’s security -- but this is just the first of likely many fights over this issue.
This morning, the Department of Justice filed a status report [PDF] with the U.S. District Court that had first ordered Apple to assist the FBI, disclosing that the agency’s efforts to unlock the iPhone belonging to Syed Farook had been fruitful. US gets info, Apple maintains market share. Win/win, right?
#1
Likely story. A convenient excuse to get out of a losing test case. As they say, discovery is a cast iron B!tC#, and the federal judges are getting less impressed by the magic "National Security" invocation.
FBI has been lying from the start. This was all about using a terrorism case to get a court to force Apple to do the FBI's work for them. With that precedent set, 'law enforcement' would have routinely used it to get phones unlocked in child support and parking ticket cases. When the case started going against them, the FBI ran like frightened girls.
[Dhaka Tribune] Pakistain will launch a paramilitary crackdown on Islamist faceless myrmidons in Punjab, the country’s richest and most populous province, after an Easter Day bombing killed 70 people in the historic provincial capital Lahore, officials said yesterday.
Sunday’s suicide kaboom on a public park was claimed by the Pak Taliban’s Jamaat-ur-Ahrar faction, which once declared loyalty to 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.... . The group said it was targeting Christians.
The brutality of the attack, Jamaat-ur-Ahrar’s fifth bombing since December, reflects the movement’s attempts to raise its profile among Pakistain’s increasingly fractured Islamist Lion of Islams.
At least 29 children enjoying an Easter weekend outing were among those killed when the jacket wallah struck in a busy park in the eastern city of Lahore, the power base of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... . Pakistain is a majority-Muslim state but has a Christian population of more than two million.
At the Vatican in Rome, Pope Francis condemned the attack as "hideous" and demanded that Pak authorities protect religious minorities. It was Pakistain’s deadliest attack since the December 2014 massacre of 134 school children at a military-run academy in the city of 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. that prompted a government crackdown on Islamist militancy.
Security and government officials told Rooters that the decision had been made to launch a full-scale paramilitary Rangers operation, giving them powers to conduct raids and interrogate suspects in the same way as they have been in the southern city of 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... for more than two years.
The move, which has not yet been formally announced, represents the civilian government once again granting special powers to the military in order to fight Islamist Lion of Islams.
"The technicalities are yet to be worked out. There are some legal issues also with bringing in Rangers, but the military and government are on the same page," said one security bigshot, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... as he was not authorised to share details of the plan.
One other military official and two government officials confirmed the decision on condition of anonymity.
Soft Targets
Military front man Gen Asim Bajwa said intelligence agencies, the army and Rangers had already launched several raids around Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... following the attack, arresting an unspecified number of suspects and recovering arms caches.
Prime Minister Sharif toured hospitals full of victims, promising to bring justice.
"Our resolve as a nation and as a government is getting stronger and (the) coward enemy is trying for soft targets," Sharif said, according to a statement from his office.
Jamaat-ur-Ahrar grabbed credit for the attack late on Sunday night and issued a direct challenge to the government.
"The target was Christians," a faction front man, Ehsanullah Ehsan ...formerly the front man for the Pak Taliban, now the lips and tongue of the Jamaatul Ahrar splinter group in Mohmand Agency... , said. "We want to send this message to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that we have entered Lahore."
Rescue services spokeswoman Deeba Shahnaz said at least 29 children, seven women and 34 men were killed and about 340 were maimed, with 25 at death's door.
Jamaat-ur-Ahrar has grabbed credit for several big attacks since it split from the main Pak Taliban in 2014.

[DAWN] The district government has ruled out that Christians were the target in the Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park attack. "It wasn't You-Know-Who!"
"Christians were not the specific target in the blast. It was not the park meant for Christians only. It was for all Paks. Today was Easter Day and a holiday. People visited public parks in large numbers," District Coordination Officer retired Capt Muhammad Usman told news hounds here on Sunday. He said the law enforcement agencies were investigating the incident from all aspects.
Just a bunch of random people at the park. All of whom were wearing crosses...
As the news of the blast at Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park broke the people in other parks started evacuating in panic. There had been a sense of fear among them.
"I received a call from my brother who asked me to return home immediately as a blast took place in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park," said Azeem Rafique who had gone to Minar-e-Pakistain along with his wife and three children.
Traffic jams were witnessed on the roads outside the city parks soon after the blast in Iqbal Town as the people rushed out of the parks. Even those visiting the Joyland at Fortress where the security was better than the other public places preferred to leave for their homes.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Alamo, Davy was counting their remaining cannon balls and not liking the results... the government has announced cancellation of Jashn-e-Baharan which was taking place in Jilani Park (Racecourse). The Canal Mela has also been cancelled.
On the other hand, the grieved relatives of the victims and injured did not let some PTI leaders, including Shafqat Mahmood, enter a hospital who reached there to inquire after the injured. ‘Go Nawaz Go’ slogans were chanted there.

(Apologies to Professor Lehrer)
Spring is here, spring is here
Life is skittles and life is fear
I think the loveliest time of the year
Is the spring, I do, don't you? Course you do
All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon
When we're purging pagans in the park
Every Sunday you'll see my sweetheart and me
As we purge pagans in the park
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pagan
So if Sunday you're free
Why don't you come with me
And we'll purge the pagans in the park
And maybe we'll do in a Muslim or two
While we're purging pagans in the park
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Syria is willing to take part in an international coalition against terrorism but only if the United States will work with Damascus in a way it has not done so far, the Syrian envoy to Geneva peace talks said on Monday.
"The (U.S.-led) international coalition did not succeed in Syria because it did not coordinate with the regime. Russia was successful because it coordinated with us," Bashar Ja’afari said in an interview with Leb-based al-Mayadeen TV.
"We are for the creation of an international coalition against terrorism, but in coordination with the Syrian government. We have no objection to working with America as long as it is done in coordination with Syria," Ja’afari said.
In response, the United States on Monday welcomed the victory by Syrian leader Bashir al-Assad’s Russian-backed forces over ISIS in the historic city of Palmyra, despite concerns over his brutal record.
"We do think that it’s a good thing that Daesh [Islamic State] no longer controls it," State Department front man John Kirby said, using his preferred term for ISIS.
"That said, we’re also mindful, of course, that the best hope for Syria and the Syrian people is not an expansion of Bashir al-Assad’s ability to tyrannize the Syrian people."
