[ALMASDARNEWS] The so-called 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) released video footage on Thursday of their previous attack on the al-Arish Military Airport in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
The terrorist group’s attack targeted the Egyptian Interior and Defense ministers, who were visiting the airbase that day.
While they were unable to harm either minister, the terrorist group did kill two soldiers during this attack that took place on Tuesday.

Muzzy terrorists getting pissy bout Egypt not laundering their oil to Jihad money fast enough?
[DAWN] The propaganda chief of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... (AQAP)was among six murderous Moslems killed in two separate US dronezaps in Yemen, tribal sources said on Thursday.
The Wednesday evening strikes came as Washington revealed that US forces have carried out more than 120 air strikes against murderous Moslems 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... this year as part of a long-running campaign that has intensified since United States President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... took office.
Saudi-born Abu Hajar al-Makki and three other AQAP murderous Moslems were killed when a drone blew up their vehicle in the Wadi Obeida district of Marib province, east of the capital Sanaa, tribal sources said. A separate strike on a second vehicle killed two other AQAP murderous Moslems in the same area, they added.
Washington says its strikes have killed a number of senior AQAP figures in recent months, including Mujahid al-Adani, who was killed on November 20.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Salman al-Faraj, one of six bully boyz from the Faraj family, was killed by Saudi security forces on Tuesday during an exchange of gunfire. He was on the Saudi Interior Ministry’s list of the 23 most-desperados.
Salman is the fourth member of the al-Faraj terrorist group to be killed by Saudi security forces while Hussein al-Faraj remains in jug and authorities are in strong pursuit of the last member of the terrorist group, Majed al-Faraj.
He is wanted for his involvement in terrorist crimes with his brother Abdulraheem, who was killed during a gunfire exchange while security forces searched his house in Awamiyah. Majed’s crimes include shooting at a number of coppers, killing one, and armed robbery.
All six men were tracked down in al-Awamiyah in Qatif, east of 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... , where they reside.
The other two, Ali bin Ahmad al-Faraj and his cousin Hussein Modon al-Faraj, were killed alongside each other in a security operation.
The al-Faraj family lives in the al-Masura neighborhood in Awamiyah. Authorities in the eastern province have announced an eventual dismantling of the neighborhood.
They intend to execute a project as part of the development plans they are carrying out in Qatif as buildings in the Awamiyah neighborhood are more than 100 years old, and are randomly constructed in narrow alleys that are less than 1.5 meters wide. There is also a number of abandoned and destroyed houses in the neighborhood, all of which are factors that threaten the residents’ lives.

Hunting down family members. Something that worked well for the Soviets in Beirut.
[IsraelTimes] German national, 29, placed in durance vile Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! ; authorities say he is an Islamic State supporter who tried to get a delivery driver job in preparation for attack
German police said they arrested Wednesday a man planning to carry out a ramming attack in the name of the Islamic State group on the crowds outside a skating rink.
The 29-year-old suspect, a German national, was believed to have scouted the target in the southern German city of Karlsruhe in August and allegedly tried to get a delivery driver job in preparation.
"The accused, Dasbar W., is strongly suspected of having supported IS and being a member of IS," German anti-terror prosecutors said in a statement. He is "strongly suspected of plotting a violent action."
The prosecutors said that between April and July 2015 he disseminated IS propaganda videos online. That same year he left Germany for the first time to travel to Iraq, returning home in March 2016.
He made a second trip in June 2016 during which he pledged allegiance to IS and underwent weapons training before coming back to Germany in July 2017.
Not merely a supporter, then, but a full-fledged, out-of-uniform soldier, which makes him a spy.
His arrest came the day after the first anniversary of the Christmas market attack in Berlin that killed 12 people and maimed hundreds. Rejected asylum seeker Anis Amri, a Tunisian, ploughed a truck into the market on December 19, 2016 before being rubbed out while on the run days later in Italia.
In a recent interview, German domestic intelligence chief Hans-Georg Maassen said the country was not immune from a new attack, with some 1,900 individuals in Germany suspected of having ties with jihadists.
Prior to the suspect’s arrest on Wednesday over alleged plans to carry out an Isis-style ramming attack on the crowds outside a skating rink in the southern German city, security authorities had kept a close eye on the man for some time.
He is a German national born in Freiburg.
A convert or the descendant of Turkish guest workers?

I think I saw this one. Did they use a Zamboni machine?
According to the Badische Zeitung, the parents are Kurds from northern Iraq, and after working for many years in Germany, they returned there — perhaps after the 2003 invasion? — to live. I have to run, so I didn’t register to read the rest of the article.
[DW] A young Afghan man who is "strongly suspected" of being a member of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... has been extradited to Germany by French authorities. He reportedly arrived in Germany as an asylum seeker in 2015.
Federal prosecutors in Karlsruhe on Wednesday announced the arrest of a 21-year-old Afghan man who is believed to be a member of the Taliban.
Officials accuse the man, identified as Jabar N. in line with German privacy rules, of having joined the "terrorist group" in 2011.
How is Germany dealing with threat of terrorism?
In their statement, prosecutors said the suspect reportedly took part in at least 30 festivities with Afghan cops and fought against bandidosholy warriors associated with the so-called "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.

In the summer of 2015, Jabar N. arrived in Germany from Afghanistan via Iran, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and Greece, through the refugee asylum process. As he was being sought, the man fled to La Belle France, where he was later apprehended and extradited back to Germany.
The suspect will remain in jug while his case is being processed.
Wednesday's arrest is the latest in a series of detentions that have been carried out in Germany due to increased security concerns. Since German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslems .. opened the country's doors to hundreds of thousands of refugees in September 2015, authorities have prosecuted several individuals suspected of having ties to the Taliban and IS.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi security forces have cleared a section an oil pipeline stretching to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... from booby-traps left behind by 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.... bad boys, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior said on Thursday.
Interior Ministry spokesperson Saad Maan said "bomb squads from the energy security directorate have finished the dismantling and clearing of the Iraq-Turkey pipeline which stretches from Kirkuk province, passing by al-Riyad, Baiji and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... to Turkey".
That pipeline had been under Islamic State control during the bad boys’ presence, according to Maan.
"After works that lasted for more than one month, the energy security directorate has manage to clear that line from Kirkuk to Baiji...and to lift and dismantle the bombs along the line," Maan said.
He said that more than 900 devices have either been defused or detonated.
Islamic State hard boyz have reportedly both set fire to oil wells and illegally traded in Iraqi oil during their occupation of several Iraqi areas since 2014 before the government declared the group’s defeat earlier this month.
Last Monday, the oil ministry said it plans to use drones to monitor and protect its oil export and production pipelines starting early 2018.
It unveiled, a week earlier, plans to install a network of pipelines to pump crude oil and refined products across all its territory, as a replacement to more costly and insecure tanker trucks.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham have once again refused the terms offered by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) to surrender the Beit Jinn pocket of west Damascus.
According to a report from the 42nd Brigade of the 4th Division, the Syrian Army offered the jihadist rebels safe passage from the Beit Jinn pocket to the Idlib Governorate; however, the latter refused the destination.
The report added that negotiations have completely failed and that the Syrian Army will continue their operation until the entire jihadist pocket is cleared.
Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham currently has no supply lines available and no way to leave this pocket, so they will likely have no choice but to negotiate a settlement once the Syrian Army captured Tal Marwan near Mughar al-Mir.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Aerospace Forces launched a large number of Arclight airstrikes over the southern countryside of the Idlib Governorate, tonight, targeting the positions of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham around the town of Abu Dali.
Russian jets flying out of the Hmaymim Military Airbase began their attack by launching airstrikes over the towns of Abu Dali and Musharifah.
These Russian airstrikes were followed by a big attack on the northern Hama towns of al-Lataminah and Kafr Zita, which are the future targets of the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) offensive.
In the coming days, the Syrian Army is expected to begin this long-awaited offensive to retake the Hama-Idlib axis from the jihadist rebels.

So Trump gave syria to the Russians in exchange for Israel and first round picks in Africa?
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) laid a successful ambush on a group of rebel reinforcements that were making their way from the Israeli border to the besieged Beit Jinn pocket in west Damascus today.
According to a military report, the rebel reinforcements were navigating through Mount Hermon from the occupied territories, when army scouts spotted the group.
Once the rebel reinforcements attempted to cross into the government areas, the Syrian Army opened fire with a barrage of missiles and artillery shells, killing several bully boyz in the process.
The rebels that were not killed by the ambush had managed to slip back across the border to the occupied territories, a military source added.
