Taliban making Improvised Explosive Devices in a mosque?
[Hurriyet Daily News] Several senior 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 (ISIS) members in Afghanistan -- including a provincial leader -- have been killed in a United States air strike, an official said on Aug. 13.
General John Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said Aug. 10’s strike killed Abdul Rahman, who he claimed was a provincial leader in ISIS’s Afghanistan branch, known as ISIS-Khorasan Province (IS-K).
Rahman’s death comes a month after U.S. forces killed Abu Sayed, the head of IS-K. That marked the third time in a year that the affiliate had lost its leader. "The death of Abdul Rahman deals yet another blow to the big shotship of ISIS-K," Nicholson said in a statement.
"He found out just like those before him that there are no safe havens in Afghanistan. We will hunt them down until they are no longer a threat to the Afghan people and the region," he added.
Nicholson said that three other senior IS-K members had been killed in the strike in Darah-Ye Pech district in the northeastern province of Kunar.
He identified Rahman as IS-K’s provincial emir in Kunar and said he had been a "primary candidate" to succeed Sayed as the affiliate’s leader following the latter’s death, also in an air strike in Kunar, on July 11.
U.S. forces have regularly been targeting ISIS fighters in Afghanistan since the hard boyz gained a foothold in the east of the country in 2015.

[Hurriyet Daily News] The German aid group Sea Eye on Aug. 13 said it was suspending its migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean, citing security concerns after Libya barred foreign vessels from a stretch of water off its coast.
The announcement comes a day after Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said it was halting the use of its largest boat in the area because of an "increasingly hostile environment for lifesaving rescue operations."
In a statement, Sea Eye said it was with "a heavy heart" that it had decided to follow suit following the Libyan government’s "explicit threat against the private NGOs."
Tensions have been on the rise since the Libyan navy on Aug. 10 ordered foreign vessels to stay out of a coastal search and rescue zone, a measure it said was specifically aimed at non-governmental groups.

[IsraelTimes] Suspected Islamic gunnies open fire on Ottoman Turkish eatery popular with foreigners in capital of Ouagadougou
Suspected Islamic gunnies shot up a Ottoman Turkish restaurant late Sunday in the capital of Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... , killing at least 17 people in the second such attack on a restaurant popular with foreigners in the last two years.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the violence, which continued into the early hours Monday with yet another heavy exchange of gunfire overheard by witnesses.
Communication Minister Remi Dandjinou told journalists that at least 17 people were dead and eight others maimed, according to a provisional toll. The victims came from several different nationalities, he said. Among the dead was at least one French national.
Security forces arrived at the scene with armored vehicles after reports of shots fired near Aziz Istanbul, an upscale restaurant in Ouagadougou. The attack brought back painful memories of the January 2016 attack at another cafe that left 30 people dead.
Burkina Faso, a landlocked nation in West Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. It shares a northern border with Mali, which has long battled Islamic holy warriors.
The three attackers in the 2016 massacre were of foreign origin, according to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, which grabbed credit in the aftermath along with the jihadist group known as Al Mourabitoun. But the terror threat in Burkina Faso is increasingly homegrown, experts say.
The northern border region is now the home of a local preacher, Ibrahim Malam Dicko, who radicalized and has claimed recent deadly attacks against troops and civilians. His association, Ansarul Islam, is now considered a terrorist group by Burkina Faso’s government.
So at this point it's probably either Al Qaeda in the Maghreb or Ansar ul Islam... or Ansar ul Islam has sworn alleigiance to either ISIS or AQIM. Hopefully the day will bring further information. An earlier Times of Israel article adds:
Witnesses said that three gunnies arrived in a 4×4 at around 9:30 pm and opened fire on customers seated outside the cafe.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Police front man Capt. Guy Ye told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named the target of the attack was a Ottoman Turkish restaurant known as Aziz Istanbul.
[IsraelTimes] Security forces kill 2 gunmen behind deadly assault on Turkish restaurant in Burkinabe capital Ouagadougou.
Security forces in Burkina Faso’s capital ended an assault Monday against suspected jihadists who opened fire on a restaurant in a “terrorist attack” that left at least 18 people dead, the government said.
The attack that began Sunday night in a Turkish restaurant popular with foreigners also left a dozen people injured, while two assailants were later killed, Communications Minister Remis Dandjinou said. It was not clear how many gunmen were involved.
“The operation has ended” but searches are continuing in the Ouagadougou neighborhood around the restaurant, Dandjinou told a press briefing carried on social media.
The Istanbul restaurant is just 200 meters from a hotel and cafe targeted in an assault in January 2016 that left 30 people dead and 71 wounded, many of them foreigners. That attack was claimed by the Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) group.
“According to witnesses, at least two assailants arrived on a motorcycle around 9 p.m. armed with Kalashnikovs, opened fire on the Istanbul restaurant,” a police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.
A waiter in the restaurant said he saw “three men arrive on a 4X4 vehicle around 9:30 p.m., get off the vehicle and open fire on customers seated on the terrace.”
Shooting ended around 5 a.m., according to an AFP journalist who was near the restaurant.
The prosecutors’ anti-terrorism unit has opened an investigation, they said.
Dandjinou had earlier said that "some people were held" by the assailants and that "some were released," but gave no further details.
He said the 18 victims were of various nationalities, both Burkinabes and foreigners.
Security forces launched a counter-assault at around 10:15 p.m. against the assailants who were hiding in the building, the police officer said.
Local authorities say foreigners killed include two Canadians, two Kuwaitis and one person each from La Belle France, Senegal ... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees... , Nigeria, Leb and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... Seven Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... citizens were also killed and authorities said three other victims had not yet been identified.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the violence.

Police shot and tossed in the clink Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! a Paleostinian man suspected of planning to carry out a terror attack in Jerusalem on Sunday, officials said.

The suspect was taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center in moderate condition, a hospital spokesperson said.
Neither police nor the Shin Bet would specify what type of attack the man was suspected of planning. However, some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go... pictures from the scene showed officers tackling the suspect to the ground on Berl Locker Street in the south of the city, something they would not likely do if the man was suspected of carrying explosives.
According to Channel 2 news, the suspect was approximately 50 years old. An eyewitness told the television channel that the man had a pacemaker installed recently and was released from the hospital earlier in the day on Sunday.
The Beit Safafa incident came a day after a man was lightly injured in a Jerusalem stabbing attack.
On Saturday afternoon, a female Paleostinian assailant tried to stab an ultra-Orthodox man and, failing to do that, stabbed another person, reportedly an East Jerusalem resident, injuring him lightly, according to security footage released by police.
In the clip, the attacker, a 29-year-old mother of five from East Jerusalem, can be seen crossing a street before pulling out a knife and taking a few swipes at the ultra-Orthodox man, who dodges the weapon and manages to get away. The footage does not show the stabbing of the victim, who according to some reports in the Hebrew-language media was a resident of East Jerusalem wearing a shirt with Hebrew writing, whom she mistook for a Jew.
The man, who was lightly maimed in the arm as a result of the attack, was taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus for treatment before being released.
Police said the attacker was overpowered and arrested by coppers at the scene after stabbing the man. She was then taken for questioning.
Hebrew-language media reported that the woman’s husband was arrested following the attack and that police raided the couple’s home in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher.
[IsraelTimes] Police search for second man in vehicle that was driven at officer standing in parking lot of station near Beersheba
A man was tossed in the slammer You have the right to remain silent... on Sunday after allegedly trying to run over a police officer in a cop shoppe parking lot and then driving off, as cops shot up the vehicle.
Police launched a manhunt for a second suspect who was also in the car when it sped away from the Ayarot Police Station near Beersheba.
An officer at the station shot at the tires of the car.
There were no injuries reported in the incident, apparently because an officer stepped out of the car’s way in time.
The motive for the apparent attack was not immediately clear.
Police gave chase after the vehicle, which stopped minutes later. Two men jumped and tried to make their escape on foot. One of the men, apparently the driver, was caught and arrested. The second man evaded the cops and fled.

[AlMasdar] Overnight, fresh festivities erupted between the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces, backed by Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... and Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) factions, and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
According to a Kurdish source close to al-Masdar News, Ottoman Turkish troops and aligned Syrian rebels launched a brief assault on the SDF-held town of Maranaz under the cover of darkness. Clashes continued throughout the night, but the Ottoman Turkish-led attack proved largely fruitless with zero ground gained in Aleppo province as daylight broke on Sunday.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo drew a bead on his old enemy and squeezed the trigger... Ottoman Turkish artillery units opened fire on the villages of Ayn Daknah, al-Biloniyah, Sheikh Issa, al-Samuqah and Tall Rifaat today, targeting positions controlled by SDF fighters.
Sporadic firefights are also taking place across Efrin’s eastern frontline. al-Masdar News was unable to obtain information regarding casualties due to the renewed fighting.

[AlMasdar] 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.... (ISIS) launched a desperate offensive on the strategic city of al-Shaddadi, Sunday, targeting the defenses of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the area.
ISIS began the assault by pushing north from the Deir Ezzor provincial border, striking the SDF’s positions just south of al-Shaddadi in the hopes of catching the Kurdish-led forces off-guard.
While festivities are still ongoing, it appears that the SDF have mostly repelled the Islamic State’s attack after killing several of the terrorist combatants that were attempting to reach the city.
Al-Shaddadi is located near the Hasakah-Deir Ezzor provincial border in the southern part of the al-Hasakah Governorate; it was the Islamic State’s former stronghold in northeastern Syria.

"The Lebanese Security Forces began Sunday the implementation for departing 400 armed snuffies from Saraya Ahl Sham with their families," News Agency (NNA) Correspondent said on Sunday.
NNA added that the fighters would leave Arsal heading for Ruhaiba in Syria with their light weapons.

[AlMasdar] The Salafist tough guys of Faylaq al-Rahman launched a powerful counter-assault in the eastern suburbs of Damascus this morning, targeting the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions at ’Ayn Tarma.
Faylaq al-Rahman turbans stormed the Syrian Army’s defenses earlier this morning after losing a large amount of territory to the latter near the ’Ayn Tarma Meat Market.
However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... the Faylaq al-Rahman assault would not last long, as the Syrian Arab Army’s 105th Brigade drove back the turbans and secured the areas they recently captured in ’Ayn Tarma.
The Syrian Arab Army launched their east Damascus offensive in July, following their successful operations in the nearby suburbs of al-Qaboun and Tishreen.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] US-backed fighters fought pitched battles Sunday with ISIS hard boyz inside their Syria bastion Raqqa, an AFP correspondent said.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, the Arab-Kurd alliance, first entered Raqqa two months ago and have since captured more than half of the northern city, but their progress has met fierce resistance from ISIS.
On Sunday, the two sides battled inside Raqqa’s Old City, trading volleys of mortar rounds and heavy machinegun fire, said the correspondent who was on the outskirts of the historic center.
A warplane from the US-led coalition provided air cover and bombed ISIS positions in the Old City, with plumes of smoke billowing into the sky.
"There is heavy fighting. Our forces are trying to surround more and more ISIS," said Nuri Mahmud, a front man for the Kurdish YPG militia that dominates the SDF.
He said ISIS hard boyz were "using every means at their disposal to survive".
Near the ancient wall surrounding the Old City, the AFP correspondent saw SDF fighters help five maimed comrades to safety after they were hit by shrapnel from a landmine kaboom.
ISIS fighters have heavily mined the city to slow the SDF advance, and are also using booby-trapped cars, drones and jacket wallahs.
Nevertheless the US-backed alliance has seized nine districts in the city’s west and east since first entering Raqqa on June 6 after a months-long campaign.
The fight for Raqqa has prompted tens of thousands of civilians to flee, with many maimed by crossfire or ISIS-planted bombs during their escape.
The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... has estimated that between 20,000 and 50,000 people remain in the city, though others have given lower estimates.

In details, ISF police apprehended a Lebanese national who was identified by the initials R.K, (born in 2003), as he was trying to enter the mosque. After searching him, two hand grenades were found inside his bag.
The detainee was referred to the Information branch for interrogation, and he admitted his affiliation to the terrorist IS organization.
He confessed he was planning to enter the Grand Mansouri Mosque during the afternoon prayers and toss the two hand grenades at worshippers. He also planned to snatch a gun from one of the police on guard and open fire at worshippers.

[Hurriyet Daily News] A commando operation backed by Russian warplanes and helicopters has killed 25 members 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 (ISIS) in central Syria, a monitor said on Aug. 13.
Supported by regime ally Russia, Syria’s army has waged a months-long offensive to recapture the vast desert region that stretches from the country’s center to the Iraqi and Jordanian borders.
On Aug. 12, "25 ISIS members were killed and others maimed in a commando operation by Syrian regime forces with air support from Russian warplanes and helicopters" in the northeast of Homs province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
Six members of the regime forces were also killed, it said.
A military source said the operation occurred "20 kilometers inside ISIS [ISIS] terrorist lines".
The raid allowed regime forces to seize control of three villages in the area, official news agency SANA reported the source as saying.
The army has captured swathes of territory from the jihadists in the province. According to the Observatory, ISIS now controls just dozens of villages in the east of Homs.
The Syrian "Badiya" is a large stretch of desert that extends over around 90,000 square kilometers of territory.
Since 2015, much of the Badiya has been held by IS, but Syria’s army has been chipping away at it since May.
Last week, the Observatory said regime forces had ousted ISIS from al-Sukhna, the last jihadist-held town in Homs province.
Syria’s army and Russia this weekend confirmed its full recapture.
"The liberation of al-Sukhna from ISISturbans opens up possibilities for Syrian government forces to launch an assault and free the city of Deir Ezzor," a Russian army statement said.
The jihadists hold the majority of the vast desert province of Deir Ezzor including most of its picturesque provincial capital.
The recapture of Deir Ezzor "would largely -- if not completely -- mark the end of the fight against ISIS," Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Aug. 13 told the Russia 24 television channel.
Regime forces have more than doubled the territory they control in Syria over the past two months, he said.
Forces loyal to Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Light of the Alawites... are also fighting the jihadists in the south of neighboring Raqqa province.
A U.S.-backed Kurdish-Arab alliance meanwhile is battling to retake the picturesque provincial capital, Raqqa city, from ISIS.
The jihadists also hold the majority of the vast desert province of Deir Ezzor including most of its picturesque provincial capital.
[AlMasdar] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) wasted no time after the announcement of al-Sukhnah’s liberation yesterday, liberating new areas from the remaining Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Backed by heavy Russian Arclight airstrikes, the Syrian Arab Army’s Qalamoun Shield unit of the 3rd Division attacked the Islamic State’s positions near the town of Salba, scoring a new advance after an intense battle this afternoon.
According to a government source in Salamiyah City, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies seized several points, including the large hilltop of Tal Hikmat, from the Islamic State Death Eaters, killing and wounding scores of gunnies in the process.
The Syrian military is now gearing up for a major assault on the strategic town of ’Uqayrbat, which is considered the Islamic State’s last stronghold in central Syria.
