[Breitbart] nullThe unprecedented U.S.-led air campaign against the Taliban’s economic engine, opium and heroin, has destroyed 73 drug labs and deprived the narco-jihadist group of $42 million in proceeds since President Donald Trump authorized the operations in November.
President Trump’s decision to expand the U.S. air campaign to target the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... ’s drug activities came amid the historic production of opium, the main ingredient in heroin.
Following a dramatic drop in counternarcotics activity authorized by former President Barack Obama I inhaled. That was the point... , the cultivation area and overall production of opium skyrocketed, providing the Taliban with more funding to continue waging its terror campaign as the U.S. troops withdrew from Afghanistan.
The dramatic increase in opium cultivation coincided with a Taliban resurgence.
According to the U.S. government, the Taliban generates at least 65 percent of its funding, estimated at $300 million to $500 million annually, from the production and smuggling of opium and heroin.

I hope the heroin is so pure that it is fatal to all addicts that use it. I would like Mexico to allow US drones to hunt cartel members. If not that then allow non-military actors in the US to hunt them on our border. KILL!

that have led to 18 arrests, police said Tuesday.
The rioting in the Mirail area of the southern city, a high-crime neighbourhood
... and yet another hint ...
once home to several jihadists,
...not exactly a hint, that —more like a strong clout upside the head with a cluebat ...
was apparently sparked by the death of a local man in prison and an identity check by police on a veiled woman on Sunday.
In other words, any excuse to show the natives that they no longer own the place.
After nearly four hours of festivities on Sunday night that saw gangs throw stones at the local cop shoppe and set fire to about 10 cars, violence flared again on Monday night.
"Security forces were targeted throughout the night and carried out 18 arrests for violence, arson and insults," a statement from top local security official Pascal Mailhos said.
Anger in the area appeared to have been fuelled by the death of a local man in the nearby Seysses prison on Saturday which led to rumours that guards were responsible.
But any other excuse would have done equally well, and generally does.
A judicial investigation is underway, local prosecutors said, adding that an autopsy had found that suicide was the cause of the death.
Local police chief Arnaud Bavois said that an identity check on a fully veiled woman on Sunday exacerbated the tensions after she refused to show her papers to officers.
As I recall, in France it is now illegal for a woman to be fully veiled in public.
The Mirail area of Toulouse, whose high-rise social housing projects are known areas for drug-dealing and delinquency, is a troublespot that has been designated a priority area by French police.

The Supreme Judicial Council said in a statement that the Central Criminal Court sentenced three Azerbaijanis and one Kergyz to death, while issuing a life sentence for two Russians and a French national.
Earlier news reports quoted AFP identifying the French nationa as 29-year-old Jamila Botoato.
Iraq is holding hundreds of foreign wives and children of Islamic State Lions of Islam who were captured as Iraqi forces gradually seized back territories held by the hard boy group since 2014.
Authorities say they are coordinating with other countries to extradite those held who are not convicted of terrorism.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Jordanian security sources have revealed cooperation with Iraq to enable border troops to follow 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.... members on the borders between the two countries.
Speaking to Emirates News Agency, the sources said Jordan provided Iraq with security information about places where the Lions of Islam gather inside Iraq near the borders.
This came as Iraqi troops launched wide-scale operations on borders with Jordan, Syria and 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... to follow the remnants of Islamic State.
In remarks by Brig. Gen. Yehia Rasool, spokesperson for the Security Media Center, the operations target regions located west of Nineveh, inlcuding Mahlabiya, Sinjar reaching to Um Gereis on the international borders.
"The military operations in Anbar, west of Iraq, on borders with Jordan, began inspecting regions of Akashat-Rutba, north of the highway linking between west of Iraq and borders with Jordan, in addition to operations at the Upper Euphrates, extending between Rawa to Rummana, west of Anbar on borders with Syria," Rasool added.
Jordan’s Interior Minister Ghaleb al-Zaabi met with his Iraqi counterpart Qassim al-Aaraji, two months ago, when they agreed on forming a joint committee to supervise security of the borders and operate patrols alongside the borders.

[IsraelTimes] The Israeli military on Tuesday evening said it fired tank shells at a Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, post in the southern Gazoo Strip, after button menshot up Israeli troops operating near the border.
There were no Israeli casualties in the incident.
A military spokeswoman noted that the incident occurred in an area which has seen recurrent violence during recent weeks’ protests near the border.
The Israeli military regularly strikes Hamas positions in response to attacks emanating from Gazoo, saying it holds the terror group that controls the Strip responsible for any violence.
[IsraelTimes] Blaze breaks out near Kibbutz Be'eri after a container of burning liquid is flown over the border on a kite, in fourth such attack in as many days
The Israel Defense Forces has learned how to protect the country from rockets, attack tunnels and stealthy Iranian drones, but since Friday the military has been stymied by a children’s toy: kites.
For the past five days, Paleostinians in Gazoo have made attempts to fly kites carrying burning cans of fuel into Israeli territory. The first attempt on Friday failed and the kite landed inside Gazoo, but the rest have sparked fires in southern Israel.
On Tuesday, one such kite started a fire in a grassy grove outside Kibbutz Be’eri, an Israeli community located some seven kilometers (4.3 miles) east of Gazoo’s Bureij refugee camp.
As of Tuesday afternoon, four teams of firefighters were working to bring the blaze under control, a front man for the local fire department said. The Kan news broadcaster reported that the fire had spread over almost 100 dunams (25 acres). This could not be immediately confirmed.
Gazooks filmed the kite crossing the border and starting the blaze, in a video shared on social media.
The kites seem to be the latest phase in the ongoing tension on the Gazoo border, as Paleostinians have rioted and protested along the security fence almost daily since March 30.
As this month also marks the beginning of Israel’s dry season, an IDF spokesperson on Friday said the military was prepared for the possibility that fires might break out and had therefore coordinated with local fire departments and put firefighting planes on standby.
However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... when asked specifically about the low-tech threat posed by kites carrying incendiary devices, the army offered scant details about its ability to combat the threat.
"The IDF is prepared and ready for various scenarios during the riots organized along the Gazoo fence," the army said in a statement.
[Bangkok Post] Two people were killed early Monday morning after gunshots were fired at a security vehicle in Pattani province.
Police spokesman Suwat Chaimanee said Muhamad Roree was wounded by gunfire at 2:30am after he had finished providing security at a school. At least six gunmen were waiting in ambush as he drove home. His passenger, Abdulkarim Muesa, and Sabuding Niheng, who was driving on that stretch of road at the same time, died later at the hospital, the investigator said adding that the event was likely to dishearten local residents.
[AnNahar] Three "terrorists" and three members of the Iranian security forces were killed during night-time festivities along Iran's border with Pakistain, state news agency IRNA reported on Tuesday.
"At 0130 this morning (2100 GMT Monday], a terrorist group from Pakistain attacked" a police post in the border area of Mirjaveh, around 75 kilometres southeast of Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Balochistan...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... province, IRNA said.
Three of the attackers were killed along with a police officer and two members of the Revolutionary Guards, it added.
Iran has criticised Pakistain in the past for supporting the Jaish al-Adl jihadist group, which it accuses of ties to al-Qaeda and carrying out numerous attacks in Sistan-Balochistan.
The restive province is poor and home to a population that is predominantly Sunni and ethnic Baluchi, in a country where 90 percent are Shiite and two-thirds are Persian.
From 2005 to 2010, Sistan-Balochistan suffered a prolonged insurgency by the Balochi-Sunni jihadist group Jundallah ..."Soldiers of God," a name used by two separate terror outfits, one active in Iran and the other in Pakistain. Both are Sunni organizations that target Shiites. The Pak version has close relations with al-Qaeda and the Pak Talibs and is probably a false nose and mustache for Lashkar-e-Jhangvi... , meaning "soldiers of Allah", although violence was largely curbed after the killing of its leader in mid-2010.
[ALMASDARNEWS] On the night of Monday to Tuesday, Russian warplanes conducted precision Arclight airstrikes in southern Idlib province against two of Syria’s most powerful Islamist rebel groups.
According to military-affiliated sources, Russian jets bombed weapons and ammunition storage sites as well as military camps and communication bases belonging to al-Qaeda affiliate group Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (better known by its former name, al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front) and Jabhat Tahrir Souriya (comprising fighters and commanders linked to the Moslem Brüderbund).
Russian airstrikes were observed at the towns of Maar Zita, Maar Harmeh and Taarii; here, warplanes orbited the target area for a time and delivered munitions upon clear identification of myrmidon assets.
It is worth noting that, on the ground, both rebel groups targeted by Russian aircraft, Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham and Jabhat Tahrir Souriya, are currently in the midst of a war with one another.

The fewer to bother the rest of us then, my dears.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Since the beginning of March, renewed infighting between rival jihadist militias Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (better known by its former name, al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front) and Jabhat Tahrir Souriya has seen both sides inflict major military losses on one another.
According to Syrian war monitor sources, six weeks of rebel festivities across various towns and villages of Idlib and Aleppo provinces (mostly Aleppo) has now seen about 400 Lion of Islam fighters killed in action.
In addition to this, dozens of military vehicles ‐ mostly technicals but also including main battle tanks and armored personnel carriers ‐ have been destroyed.
These numbers do not include two previous weeks of infighting between Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham and Jabhat Tahrir Souriya during February which saw the death of at least 200 bad boys.
The overall number of maimed can only be guessed at for now. In any case it likely exceeds one thousand fighters.

SANA reports that, so far, Jaish al-Islam fighters in Ad-Dumayr have begun to hand over their heavy equipment to the Syrian Army per an agreement with military negotiation authorities.
There are also reports that a small number of Jaish al-Islam turbans will reconcile with the Syrian government and remain in Ad-Dumayr, however this is unconfirmed.
