[Iran Press TV] The World Health Organization (WHO) says cholera claimed the lives of 25 people in 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... last week, several months after the outbreak of the infectious disease was declared in the war-torn Arab country.
"(This) is extremely alarming. We are facing a reactivation of the cholera epidemic," further said Nevio Zagaria, WHO's acting representative in Yemen, on Monday.
Back in October last year, the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... agency reported that the number of suspected cholera cases in Yemen had soared to 1,410, some three weeks after it announced the grim news of the cholera outbreak in country.
Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It is a fast-developing infection that causes diarrhea, which can quickly lead to severe dehydration and death in up to 15 percent of untreated cases.

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.... movement salute in front of a human body hanging from a cross somewhere in the Middle East is entitled to return to Australia with his siblings, the prime minister said Monday.
But such children who return from the battlefields of Syria and Iraq will be subject to "the closest attention" to ensure Australians are safe, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said.
"We will be utterly resolute in keeping Australians safe, and that applies to anyone who returns from the conflict zone, whether they are an adult or a child," Turnbull told news hounds.
Australian media on Sunday published a photograph posted on social media by Sydney-born convicted terrorist Khaled Sharrouf of his youngest child. The smiling boy holds up his right index finger in a salute in front of an apparently lifeless body suspended from a cross with plastic cable ties. A sign hanging from the body said the capital crime was collaborating with Christians.
Sharrouf’s Moslem-convert wife Tara Nettleton took their five children from Sydney to Syria to join their father in February 2014.
Nettleton died of surgery complications last September, but her mother, Karen Nettleton, continues to lobby governments for help to bring the children home.
Turnbull criticized Sharrouf, 35, over the picture, saying such behavior demonstrates why Australia is committed to destroying the Islamic State movement.
"The despicable conduct of Khaled Sharrouf in using his child to promote the barbaric, terrorist activities of the organization of which he is part, is almost beyond belief," Turnbull said.
"All of the children that are being exploited in this way, if they are Australian citizens, of course, would be able to return to Australia. But under the closest possible supervision," he added.

[WFMZ] Defense attorneys for Bryant Neal Vinas, an American al Qaeda recruit who rubbed shoulders with senior figures in the terror group in Pakistain, have called for him to be sentenced to time served when he appears Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, citing their client's exceptional cooperation with the U.S. government.
"Mr. Vinas was, during the darkest period of his life, a terrorist," attorneys Michael Bachrach and Steve Zissou wrote in a court filing Friday that CNN obtained.

The foreign affairs adviser maintained that that Pakistain has always used the diplomatic channels to resolve issues with its neighbours. "Afghanistan has been asked to use diplomatic channels instead of bullets," he added.
"I feel sorry for what happened in Chaman," said Aziz.
Commenting on the statement made by Afghanistan's top envoy to Pakistain Omar Zakhilwal on Monday, where he rejected claims that Pak security forces had killed 50 Afghan soldiers in retaliation to the Chaman cross-border attack, Aziz said, "It is great if the Afghans suffered less damage, as claimed by the Afghan ambassador."
Earlier, the head of the Iranian armed forces had warned Islamabad that Tehran would hit bases inside Pakistain if the government does not confront bandidossnuffies who carry out cross-border attacks.
Commenting on this, Aziz said that the government has "asked Iran to provide information regarding terrorists".

That happened after the second world war as well, I've read -- orphanages in various conquered countries filled with unwanted Nazi-fathered children. One can't blame the mothers for refusing the burden, but it's very hard on the children.
[RUDAW.NET] The Kurdish Peshmerga ministry says a meeting that was held between them and a delegation from the coalition forces on Saturday was to lay the foundation of a professional and reformed Peshmerga army through a project that would last ten years.
Chief of Staff of the Peshmerga Ministry who attended the meeting told Rudaw that the plan of the coalition forces includes unifying all Peshmerga forces under the ministry and that that is only one part of their overall agenda.
Yawar said that reforming the Peshmerga forces and its structure is on the agenda as well. He added the idea for these reforms and restructuring of the Peshmerga forces first came about during the visits of German and British defense ministers to Erbil.
"The coalition forces have through working with the Peshmerga seen some weaknesses and have therefore proposed reforms," he said, adding that the Peshmerga ministry also proposed some changes.
The proposed plan contains 35 points, Yawar explained, and it will be put into practice by a special committee set up for this purpose inside the Peshmerga ministry.
According to Yawar the council of ministers has thrown its weight behind the proposals and asked the ministry to embark on the plan.
The delegation that met the Kurdish prime minister and Peshmerga officials was led by US, British and German military advisers.
Yawar said that the outcome of Saturday’s meeting would be studied by the prime minister’s office, then discussed at the cabinet and sent on to Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani as commander of all armed forces for his consideration.
"The Americans, German and British have promised us that not only do they make recommendations for change, they will also stay with us and help us implement every point of the plan," Yawar revealed.
"They don’t mean something temporary, it is long term and strategic." Yawar said of the coalition project.
He added that these countries told the Kurdish officials that they "are prepared for a period of five to ten years to support the Peshmerga ministry implementing this reform."

Going by past history, these plans include a knife in the back.
[Al Jazeera] Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has compared Israel's policies against the Paleostinians to the racism of the early days of the United States and the apartheid-era in South Africa.
"What's the difference between the present acts of the Israeli administration and the racist and discriminatory politics that were practised against black people in the past in America - and up until a short time ago in South Africa," Erdogan said on Monday.
Whatever, dude. Let us know when you say something worth hearing.
Erdogan - speaking at an event in Istanbul that focused on the Middle East conflict - also cautioned the US not to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Such a move is "extremely wrong" and such talk should be abandoned, he said.
Al Jazeera chose not to report the name of the event in Istanbul at which Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan the First spoke, but The Times of Israel was not so reticent:
Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... on Monday urged Moslems to throng to the Temple Mount in a show of solidarity with Paleostinians as he issued a string of challenges to Israel, which he called "racist and discriminatory."
"We, as Moslems, should be visiting al-Quds more often," he said, referring to Jerusalem by its Arabic name.
"Each day that Jerusalem is under occupation is an insult to us," he added, at the opening ceremony of the International Forum on al-Quds Waqf in Istanbul, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s Hurriyet news reported.
Erdogan said increased Moslem visits to the Jerusalem holy site "would be the greatest support to our brothers there."
"Both in terms of our religion and historical responsibility, al-Quds and the fight of our Paleostinian brothers for rights and justice is of great importance to us. We will keep making efforts for Quds to turn into a city of peace," Erdogan said.
In the blistering speech, which also criticized Israeli legislation and US plans to move their embassy to Jerusalem, Erdogan also called Israel’s treatment of the Paleostinians "racist and discriminatory" and said the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gazoo Strip "has no place in humanity."
Israel reacted quickly and angrily to Erdogan ’s comments, calling them "baseless slander."
"Anyone who systemically violates human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. in their own country, should not preach about morality to the only democracy in the region," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"Israel strictly adheres to protecting full freedom of worship for Jews, Moslems and Christians -- and will continue to do so despite this baseless slander," the statement said.
Erdogan also warned Israel against the planned Muezzin Bill meant to limit the volume on Moslem calls to prayer, saying he would not allow mosque loudspeakers to be silenced.
"The fact that such an issue is even coming to the agenda is shameful," he said. "The fact that those who talk about freedom of thought and faith at every opportunity actually approve this step by remaining silent is noteworthy. Inshallah, we will not allow the silencing of prayers from the heavens of Jerusalem," Erdogan said.

[Al Jazeera] Indonesia has announced that it will ban the group Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... . It says the organization's ideology calling for an Islamic state is against the constitution.
The move comes just a day before the verdict in the blasphemy trial of a Christian governor, known as Ahok. For months conservative religious groups have protested against him and demanded the Christian governor be put in prison for blasphemy.

[Iran Press TV] The United States must end its "covert and overt" involvement in war on Syria, and stop providing "any kind" of support for Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorists, like ISIS and al-Qaeda, if it truly aims to "bring this one to an end," as US Defense Secretary James Mattis claimed, says a political analyst.
Former US Senate candidate Mark Dankof made the comment in an interview with Press TV on Monday, while discussing remarks by General Mattis in regard to four de-escalation zones, recently negotiated by Russia, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and Iran to reduce violence in Syria.
A deal to set up de-escalation zones was signed by Turkey, Iran and Russia, during the fourth round of the Syria peace talks in the Kazakh capital Astana on Thursday and took effect at the stroke of midnight local time on Saturday (2100 GMT on Friday).
The US will "look at the proposal and see if it can work," the Pentagon chief told news hounds as he traveled to Copenhagen for talks with US allies, toning down a previous criticism the deal by the US State Department.
"General Mattis seems not to notice that the United States’ covert and overt involvement in Syria is a major reason for all of this violence," Dankof said.
Since crisis began in Syria in 2011, the US has been implicated in providing direct and indirect support for terrorists, wreaking havoc in Syria and later in its Moslem neighbor, Iraq.

The part missing is the US search for the 'right' round.
When the highest bidder is selected, after the contest, and the 100000 arms are distributed to the units that don't need them, the RoE will prevent their use.
Ooooohhhh, a potential war between Iran and Pakistan -- what a wonderful idea!
[DAWN] The head of the Iranian armed forces warned Islamabad on Monday that Tehran would hit bases inside Pakistain if the government does not confront holy warriors who carry out cross-border attacks.
Ten Iranian border guards were killed by holy warriors last month. Iran said Jaish-al-Adl, a myrmidon group, had shot the guards with long-range guns, fired from inside Pakistain.
The border area has long been plagued by unrest from both drug smuggling gangs and separatist myrmidons.
"We cannot accept the continuation of this situation," Major General Mohammad Baqeri, the head of the Iranian armed forces, was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.
"We expect the Pak officials to control the borders, arrest the hard boyz and shut down their bases."
"If the terrorist attacks continue, we will hit their safe havens and cells, wherever they are," he said.

[WASHINGTONPOST] President Trump’s revised travel ban faces two major legal tests this month when federal appeals courts on opposite coasts take up challenges to an executive order that the administration says is urgently needed for national security and that opponents say discriminates against Moslems.
The first hearing comes today in Richmond before a panel of more than a dozen judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit.
Federal immigration law gives the president broad authority to bar foreign travelers from entering the United States. The Trump administration’s new policy temporarily suspends the U.S. refugee program and blocks new visas to citizens of six majority Moslem countries.
Before the order could take effect in March, a judge in Maryland and one in Hawaii halted enforcement of critical sections, pointing to comments by Trump and top advisers indicating that they wanted to bar Moslems from entry.
The 4th Circuit will consider whether to leave in place the Maryland decision siding with challengers who say the order violates First Amendment prohibitions on government denigration of a particular religion.
