[Libya Herald] The head of the Libyan National Army, His Enormity Field Marshal Lord Khalifa Hafter, has called on officers and soldiers to be ready for the offensive to free Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... . He was speaking to members of the LNA. A top LNA official confirmed to the Libya Herald this evening that Hafter had made the call.
Exactly what sort of offensive Hafter intends was not stated. He has previously stated that he would never go to Tripoli if it involved a fight. However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... although there are reports of him being in contact with some forces in the capital, it is generally thought that any attempt by LNA forces to take Tripoli will unite the currently divided militia forces there against them.
For the past two and a half years Hafter has been regularly predicting the liberation of Benghazi.
Hafter also spoke about the rape case in Tripoli, saying that he had been deeply upset by it, as if it had affected him personally.

[Libya Observer] Military commanders of al-Bunyan al-Marsoos Operation have agreed to name Brig. Ahmed Abu Shahma as a military governor of Sirte.
The nomination came in response to the election of Mukhtar al-Maadani as a new mayor of Sirte. al-Maadani is accused of being a loyalist to Khalifa Haftar ... served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... and Dignity Operation.
Sirte was announced fully liberated from ISIS last week after seven months of fierce festivities in the city and its suburbs, but Dignity Operation claimed that Misrata-led forces' victory over ISIS was only a handover of the city from ISIS to al-Qaeda.
"Sirte war was not for the sake of the nation, it was intended to raise al-Qaeda over ISIS," spokesperson of Dignity Operation said last week.
Members of Sirte municipality elected Mukhtar al-Maadani as a mayor for the city in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... on Monday. His election has sparked anger among al-Bunyan al-Marsoos brigades and social media activists.
Misrata-led forces fear that the election of al-Maadani would hand over the city to Dignity Operation in spite of the high numbers of casualties during the seven-month fighting against ISIS.
Last April, Mukhtar al-Maadani appeared in a video showing support to Khalifa Haftar and Dignity Operation. The video was filmed in Almarj, the stronghold town of Dignity Operation in east Libya where he received military vehicles and weapons for Sirte Police Department, which was established by the Interim Government of al-Thanni government.

[THENATIONONLINENG.NET] The Federal Government has said it will prosecute 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... Death Eaters and anyone engaging in terrorism.
National Security Adviser (NSA) Maj-Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd) spoke yesterday in Abuja during consultations on how to prosecute, rehabilitate, and re-integrate former murderous Moslems.
Monguno said Nigeria would win the war against terrorism through its core values, including respect for human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... , as guaranteed by Chapter 4 of the 1999 Constitution, and relevant international rights conventions.
Monguno said: "Whereas, violence does not respect human rights and share no such values, we are committed to ensuring that every suspect charged with terrorism has a day in court."
The NSA said Nigeria would partner the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... (EU), United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC), Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and other agencies to find the best "approach to prosecute, rehabilitate and re-integrate former members of Boko Haram".
"We are, therefore, looking beyond the counter-insurgency campaigns in Northeast to the next phase where Violent Extremist Offenders (VEOs), who had either repented or passed through the criminal justice process, are rehabilitated and re-integrated into society," he added.
Representative of EU delegation Mr. Richard Young noted that there are those believe terrorists, who surrender and are captured, be sent to prison, de-radicalised and re-integrated into society, and others who think Death Eaters should be prosecuted and made to face the law.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Some of those who have received counselling and participated in training courses at the Prince Mohammed bin Nayef Counseling and Care Center in Riyadh shared their past experiences while being involved in terrorism, during a seminar during the second session of the intellectual awareness forum entitled ’Extremism: Between misleading theory and ominous reality’ at the Imam University
Juhani: I had not found the right counseling and Fatwa
Khalid al-Juhani, one of those who benefited from Prince Mohammed bin Nayef Center, spoke about his 10-year experience where he was lost and got involved in al-Qaeda as an electronics and remote detonation instructor. He used to provide training at that time, before the collapse of Afghanistan, under the leadership of the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse... at Tora Bora. Later he and some others fled to Pakistain where they were incarcerated Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! and handed over to the US authorities. He was held for five years in Guantanamo and came out psychologically broken due to what he had endured. When he got back to 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... , he was afraid because he did not know how the Saudi society and his family would welcome him. But he was well received and relieved of those concerns.
At that moment, he regretted what he had been through. In prison, counseling sessions began. "Things got clearer and it is not as they had said for the victory of Islam. They brainwashed us to be a weapon against one’s own country, so don’t be fooled by these fantasies," he said.
Life in Afghanistan is not beautiful and it is not true that they are very happy to have us there. They hate us and are surprised that we are engaged with them in their wars and the discord they fell into," he added.
Al-Anzi: The instigators isolated us from our society
Badr al-Anzi said that he initially was a young man who was excited for the victory of Islam. He was moved by scenes he was shown of massacre and despotism against Moslems in Afghanistan and many other neighboring countries. There were also some newspaper reports that mocked the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), so he was brainwashed and incited through speeches that dragged him to unbridled ideology.
Yahya: My advice for young people is not to be influenced by emotional scenes
Yahya bin Hassan spoke about his experience, saying that following up the news and seeing photos of the violations and abuses happening to Moslems drew him to those areas of conflict. Indeed, he went to those areas and found that all of the wars were purely political, where they are using innocent young people to achieve their ends.
Hani: Openness to knowledge and cultures is the stronghold of the youth
As for Hani al-Mulla’s experience with joining the fronts of combat, he said labeling the conflict zones as angelic societies would be a misnomer. He said that if it wasn’t for God, he wouldn’t have been aware of what he was going through. He described the openness to knowledge and diverse cultures as one of the most important things that would make young people immunized against bad boy groups.

[DAWN] Chaos ruled the National Assembly (NA) on Wednesday with the return of the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) to parliament as NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq rejected the opposition's privilege motions on Panamagate.
Footage of the NA showed incensed members of opposition ripping up copies of the session's agenda and the privilege motions as both PML-N and opposition politicians yelled slogans accusing each others' leaders of corruption.
The PTI and PPP submitted privilege motions in the NA claiming that 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... had misguided politicians in a speech regarding his assets delivered earlier this year.
The PPP in its privilege motion said the PM, through his lawyers, told the Supreme Court that his speech in the Parliament on May 16 was a ""political statement" and was not [meant] to be taken seriously. This implies that all his previous policy statements are also to be taken likewise."
In a similarly privilege motion, the PTI said the PM had told the House that he had "documents to prove his case." But his lawyers said no records were kept as business was conducted via ""parchis" (chits)", it stated.
The NA speaker clarified his decision to reject the motions, saying the matter is subjudice.
Having failed to win a verdict from the Supreme Court against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over the Panamagate case last week, PTI on Tuesday decided to end its boycott of the NA and return to parliament. The SC last week deferred the hearing of the case till the first week of January.
Pandemonium broke out in the PTI benches when the NA speaker opened the floor to the PML-N's Saad Rafique on a point of order following PPP leader Khursheed Shah's speech instead of allowing PTI leader Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi to speak.
Amid chants of 'thief, thief', Rafique lashed out at the members of opposition clustered before the speaker's bench who were throwing papers in the air, and accused PTI politicians of 'only wanting to fight'.
"The PTI is scheming against democracy," he said. "PTI workers are hooligans, that's all they do in politics... They are only attending the session so they can collect their salaries," he claimed.
Talking to the media outside the parliament, he strongly criticised the opposition parties in general and PTI in particular.
"The parliament is a political space, hence each and every word uttered on the floor is political. In the court one gives a legal statement which requires detailed elaboration as well as proofs," said the PML-N stalwart.

[IsraelTimes] Istanbul-based Kanadil Institute said to be funneling money to terror organization, Moslem Brüderbund for projects in Jerusalem.
I'd give high odds the Kanadil Institute is quietly supported by President Erdogan's government...
An order outlawing a Turkish aid group accused of funneling money to Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and the Moslem Brüderbund was signed by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman Wednesday.
The Istanbul-based International Kanadil Institute for Humanitarian Aid and Development is accused by Israeli authorities of sending money to organizations listed as terror groups by Jerusalem.
"The Kanadil foundation is identified with Hamas and with the Moslem Brüderbund and in recent years had been used as a main pipeline for funding projects by Hamas in Jerusalem," Liberman’s spokesperson said in a statement.
The front man said the organization’s director and numerous employees are closely associated with Hamas and the Moslem Brüderbund.
The move comes days after Israel and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... re-established full diplomatic ties after a several-year freeze. Israel has criticized Turkey and its ruling AKP party for its continued support of Hamas, though the detente between the countries has moved forward despite Ankara’s backing of the group.
There was no immediate reaction from Kanadil or Turkey to the move.
The ministry had blacklisted Kanadil in October, according to the Israel Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority, but the order was only signed Wednesday.
The Defense Ministry did not specify what projects in Jerusalem the group was helping Hamas fund.
On its website, Kanadil lists a number of projects in Jerusalem it is involved with, including social programs, job training, education, loans to small business and farmers and procurement of raw materials for small manufacturers.
Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, while the Jerusalem branch of the Moslem Brüderbund was outlawed in 2007. Hamas was originally founded as an offshoot of the Moslem Brüderbund.
The terror group has grabbed credit for numerous terrorist attacks in Jerusalem over the past year, including a recent shooting in October at the city’s Ammunition Hill light rail station in which two Israelis were killed.
[AlAhram] A female would-be jacket wallahplaced in durance vile Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! last week one day before her planned attack in Indonesia's capital said she took orders from Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian with 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.... group in Syria accused of orchestrating several attacks in the past year.
Dian Yulia Novi and her husband Nur Solihin were among four suspected Lions of Islam arrested Saturday after police detected their plot to bomb a guard-changing ceremony at the presidential palace. A neighborhood on the outskirts of Jakarta was evacuated after a bomb was found.
Police suspect the four were part of a bad boy network responsible for a bomb-making lab in West Java province that was operating under the direction of Naim.
Novi, a former migrant worker in Singapore and Taiwan, said in a TVOne interview broadcast Wednesday that she learned about jihad on social media such as Facebook. She said she was influenced by articles from an Islamic website on upholding monotheism and defending the caliphate and Aman Abdurrahman, a radical holy man serving a nine-year prison sentence in Indonesia.
The active involvement of a woman in the plot is a new development for violent radicalism in socially conservative Indonesia, where women married to or associated with Lions of Islam have typically stayed in the background.
The 3-kilogram bomb that Novi was to detonate would have went kaboom! as crowds of people gathered to watch the presidential guard changing ceremony, a popular family attraction in Jakarta. In the interview, she revealed a chilling disregard for her fellow Indonesians.
"The target is not ordinary people, not hawkers, not babies. The target is the enforcers of man-made laws," Novi said.
How noble.
Naim "himself has explained that there are spectators," she said. "I would mingle with them ... then I would run toward the presidential guard and explode myself. That will be far from the spectators so they would not be hit directly."
'Tis rumoured that last year she spent her savings buying the Brooklyn Bridge. Her profits from the tolls were to pay for the current project, so we can be grateful she is such a gullible fool.
Naim has been linked by police to several attacks in Indonesia this year including a January attack in Jakarta that killed eight people including the attackers.
Moslem-majority Indonesia has carried out a sustained crackdown on Lions of Islam since the 2002 bombings on the tourist island of Bali by al-Qaeda-affiliated Lions of Islam that killed 202 people. But a new threat has emerged in the past several years from IS sympathizers. Several hundred Indonesians have traveled to Syria to join IS.
Novi said she communicated with Naim on three occasions through the encrypted chat app Telegram and said it was he who decided the target of the attack.
Her husband, Solihin, also interviewed by the TV station, said he married Novi to facilitate her desire to be a suicide bomber.
So much for vows to love, honour, and cherish...
Solihin said he was ordered by Naim to drop his wife at Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, where she would walk for about 500 meters (yards) to the target.
"I did not know what the target was. Only after police revealed the bomb plot, then I realized that the target was the presidential palace," he said.

[Ynet] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....

Turkey launched "Operation Euphrates Shield" four months ago in a bid to push Islamic State bandidosmurderous Moslems away from its border in northern Syria and prevent Kurdish militia groups from seizing territory in their wake.
It seems safe to assume that most of the dead are Kurds, and that the real number is less than the announced one.

In an interview with the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency on 8 December, Syria President Bashar Assad said that "as long as the Turkish policy is run by an "abnormal" and "psychologically-disturbed person" like Erdogan, we have to expect all possibilities."

In a 21 October report from Jarabulus, the Financial Times assessed Turkish aims towards the SDF and as a conclusion quoted that "Mr Erdoğan is very good at perceptions. It is not important what reality is: people [in Turkey] love hearing Mr Erdoğan’s ambitions on the eight o’clock news when they come home."
[AnNahar] 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.... fighters possibly seized air-defense weapons when they recaptured the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, a U.S. general said Wednesday, adding a potential complication to the coalition's air war.
Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend, who commands the US-led coalition bombing IS in Iraq and Syria, said jihadists seized a trove of gear when they retook the desert city from Russia-backed Syrian regime troops on Sunday.
"We believe that includes some armored vehicles and various guns and other heavy weapons, possibly some air-defense equipment," Townsend said in a video briefing from Baghdad.
The U.S.-coalition that has been bombing IS since 2014 has enjoyed near-total air superiority across Iraq and Syria, sustaining only limited small-arms damage to a couple of aircraft.
"Basically, anything they (IS) seize poses a threat to the coalition, but we can manage those threats and we will," Townsend said. "I anticipate that we'll have opportunities to strike that equipment and kill the ISIS that's operating it soon."
Townsend did not describe whether the air-defense weapons were anti-aircraft guns or missiles.
Townsend said the coalition would, at least initially, defer to the Russians to try to retake Palmyra.
"If they don't, we will do what we need to do to defend ourselves and we'll de-conflict those actions with the Russians."
The Pentagon and coalition partners have accused Moscow and Damascus of taking their eyes off Palmyra to focus on bombing the former rebel bastion of Aleppo.
The U.S.-led coalition, which is narrowly focused on fighting the IS group, has not had an active role in Aleppo, and Townsend said the regime's recapture of the city would have only a "relatively moderate" effect on coalition actions in Syria.
"Because I think the regime and the opposition forces that are fighting their war adjacent to ours will take their fight elsewhere," he said without giving details.

This presumes they have the IQ to operate the equipment, if it isn't already shit equipment.
[KhaleejTimes] Deadly clashes erupted in Syria's Aleppo on Wednesday as a deal for the evacuation of rebel areas was put on hold, leaving thousands of cold and hungry civilians uncertain of their future.
Qatar announced that it will call off its National Day celebrations next week out of solidarity with the people Aleppo.
Aleppo families had gathered in the streets before dawn hoping to leave the ravaged city after an agreement announced the night before to evacuate civilians and rebels. The first departures had been expected around 5am but there was no movement, and a few hours later, fierce fighting shook the city.
The landmark evacuation deal, brokered by Russia and Turkey, came after the army seized more than 90 per cent of east Aleppo from the rebels. It would have marked the end of opposition resistance in Syria's second city after years of fighting and dealt the op-position their worst blow since the conflict began in March 2011. But it appeared increasingly fragile by Wednesday afternoon as the government and the rebels, as well as their foreign allies, traded accusations.
Iran, one of President Bashar Al Assad's main backers in the battle, imposed new conditions, saying it wanted the simultaneous evacuation of wounded from two villages besieged by rebel fighters, according to rebel and UN sources.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would speak with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later in bid to rescue the deal. "The situation on the ground is very fragile and complicated," he said.

IRBIL: Daesh has been producing weapons on a scale and sophistication which matches national military forces and has standardized production across their self-styled caliphate, an arms monitoring group says.
Conflict Armament Research (CAR) said the terror group had a “robust supply chain” of raw materials from Turkey,
From Turkey? How expected.
and the technical precision of its work meant that it could not be described as “improvised” weapons production.
“Although production facilities employ a range of non-standard materials and chemical explosive precursors, the degree of organization, quality control, and inventory management indicates a complex, centrally controlled industrial production system,” it said in a report following visits last month to six facilities once operated by Daesh in eastern Mosul.
CAR, which identifies and tracks weapons and ammunitions in conflicts, said the facilities it visited were part of a system producing weapons according to precise guidelines issued by a central authority.
Production included a monitoring system with regular, detailed reports on production rates and quality that helped ensure standardization — usually to the tenth of a millimeter — across the terrorists’ once sprawling territory in Iraq and neighboring Syria.
“Mortar rounds manufactured in one part of Daesh forces’ territory are calibrated to fit mortar tubes produced in facilities located elsewhere,” the report said.
Standardization required consistency in the supply of source materials, the report said, achieved through a major acquisition network in neighboring Turkey and a supply chain extending from that country, through Syria, to Mosul.
In addition to technical advantages of standardization, CAR said Islamic State sought to mirror the functions of a national military force in a bid to “legitimize the group’s capacity and coherence in the eyes of its fighters.”
The monitor also said documents it had seen in Mosul suggested Daesh had provided its fighters with sophisticated instructions on making and planting improvised explosive devices as well as the operation of complex weapons systems, such as anti-tank guided missiles.
