[An Nahar] Sudan appears to be providing shelter to Joseph Kony, one of the world's most wanted warlords, according to a report released on Friday by the Washington-based Resolve group.
Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army ... The Lord's Resistance Army is a religious and military group formed in 1987. It is led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the spokesperson of God and a spirit medium, and who is periodically possessed by demons, Beelzebub and Legion prominent among them. Kony advises his soldiers to draw crosses on their chests as a protection against bullets. This does't work, but nobody outside the LRA minds. The group is based on a hodge podge of apocalyptic Christianity, mysticism, and traditional Acholi religion, and claims to be establishing a theocratic state based on an odd interpretation of the Ten Commandments. The LRA is famous for systematic criminal conduct, including murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement of women and children, forcing children to participate in hostilities, and occasional cannibalism. The LRA operates mainly in northern Uganda and also in parts of Sudan, Central African Republic and DR Congo... , which is infamous for mutilating its victims and abducting children for use as fighters and sex slaves. It has waged an insurgency against the Ugandan government for over 25 years.
A self-proclaimed prophet who claims his rebels are fighting to establish a government based on the Biblical Ten Commandments, Kony and other LRA leaders face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court ... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...
According to Friday's report, "eyewitnesses testify that elements from Sudan's military actively provided Kony and other LRA leaders with periodic safe haven in Sudanese-controlled territory from 2009 until at least February 2013."

[An Nahar] French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Friday that Mali "cannot have two armies" in the rebel-held city of Kidal, calling for talks with armed Tuareg Orcs and similar vermin in the war-torn north.
The Tuaregs' National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), which runs Kidal, has refused to give up its weapons or take part in elections planned for July until negotiations have taken place with the Mali government.
"It is obvious that there cannot be two Malian armies. But in this specific case, to recover the territorial integrity of Kidal, we need dialogue. There will be no partition," Le Drian told a media conference in Gao, northen Mali's biggest city.
"It is therefore necessary to resume dialogue, dialogue that allows Mali recover its illusory sovereignty in a climate of mutual respect."
The MNLA launched a rebellion for independence of the north in January last year which plunged the west African nation into crisis.
Its insurgency sparked a coup in Bamako by soldiers in March 2012, and the crisis deepened when the rebellion was hijacked by its Islamist allies, leaving the north of the country in the hands of hardline Death Eaters.

SEOUL, April 27 -- South Korean workers at a jointly run industrial complex in North Korea are scheduled to return home later Saturday, Seoul officials said, a day after deciding to withdraw them following Pyongyang's rejection of an offer for dialogue.
According to officials, 11 workers will come home from the Kaesong industrial complex at 2 p.m. Saturday, followed by 116 more at 2:30 p.m. As of Friday, there were 175 South Koreans at the factory zone. After 127 return Saturday, the remaining employees could be home by Monday.
Good idea. Kaesong has always been a human rights disaster -- nothing more than exploitation of ordinary North Koreans who never saw the benefits that were touted. It was just another way to keep Kim (and now Pudgy) in cognac, blondes and blow. Close it and continue to find ways to remove hard currency from the Norks.
Seoul announced Friday that it will order all remaining workers home from Kaesong, after Pyongyang spurned a proposal for talks to resolve disputes over the factory park, which is considered the last remnant of inter-Korean rapprochement. In turning down the offer for dialogue, North Korea warned of "grave action" of its own, without giving specifics.
A government official here said North Korea, as of Saturday morning, has yet to authorize the remaining South Korean workers to cross the border, but noted that the North's National Defense Commission has said it would ensure the safety of the South Koreans.
"We notified the North of our plans to pull (out) our workers and held working-level discussions late into the night," the official said. "The North hasn't yet given full authorization, but since it has publicly guaranteed the safety (of the South Korean workers), I don't foresee any major problem."

[Al Ahram] North Korea Friday rejected South Korea's "fraudulent" proposal for talks on restarting operations at a joint industrial zone and challenged Seoul to withdraw all remaining staff from the area.
South Korea on Thursday had given the North 24 hours to agree to formal negotiations on the future of the Kaesong complex, warning of "significant measures" if Pyongyang declined.
The Unification Ministry said it would announce its next step at 0900 GMT, with Yonhap news agency reporting that it would call on the 175 South Koreans still in Kaesong to leave immediately.
Dismissing what it called the South's "fraudulent" ultimatum, the North's top military body issued a statement insisting that any decisive move on Kaesong would come from its side.
"If the South Korean puppet regime keeps aggravating the situation, it will be (North Korea), not South Korea, that will be forced to take the final decisive and crucial measure first," the National Defence Commission (NDC) said.
Insisting that South Korean government officials were responsible for the standoff over Kaesong, the NDC said resorting to "ultimatum-like announcements... would only advance their final destruction".

[An Nahar] Bulgarian Sherlocks on Friday re-enacted a July 2012 kaboom blamed by Sofia on Hizbullah that killed five Israelis, blowing up two old buses and 11 silicon mannequins in a controlled kaboom.
The aim was "to provide information and important evidence on the type and quantity of explosive used" in the attack at Burgas airport on the Black Sea, chief investigator Boyko Naydenov said.
As in the real blast, which also killed one Bulgarian, the kaboom tore apart a mannequin representing the bomber, spreading body parts over the test area in Ihtiman, 70 kilometers southeast of Sofia.
This confirmed the hypothesis that he was standing next to one of the bus' luggage compartments when the device went off, Naydenov said.
"The results are more than satisfactory," he said. The silicon head of the bomber was found "practically at the same distance and direction from the bus." Silicon is similar to human tissue.
Investigators believe that the bomber, who has not been identified despite police having his DNA and fingerprints, did not intend to die in the attack but planned to detonate the bomb from afar.
In July Israel immediately blamed Iran and Hizbullah, but it took until February for the Bulgarian government to also point the finger at the Lebanese group.

[Jpost] Suspects charged with plotting to blow up railroad carrying passenger trains recieved "guidance" in Iran from al-Qaeda.
Investigators believe one of two suspects charged in Canada with plotting to blow up a railroad track carrying passenger trains traveled to Iran within the past two years, US law enforcement and national security officials said on Thursday.
Chiheb Esseghaier, a Tunisian-born doctoral student, traveled to Iran on a trip that was directly relevant to the investigation of the alleged plot, the officials said.
They declined to say precisely when Esseghaier, who appeared in court on Wednesday in Toronto, had traveled to Iran, whether he had gone there more than once, or whom he was in contact with while there.
When they announced the arrest of Esseghaier and his alleged co-conspirator, Raed Jaser, this week, Canadian police said the two men had received "direction and guidance" in the plot from "al-Qaeda elements in Iran."
U.S. national security sources close to the investigation said that was a reference to a network of low- to middle-level al Qaeda fixers and "controllers" based in the town of Zahedan, close to Iran's borders with Afghanistan and Pakistain, that moves money and fighters through Iran to support its activities in South Asia.
Canadian police say there is no sign of Iranian government involvement with the suspects.
The pair are charged with plotting to derail a passenger train. US officials said the suspects discussed blowing up a trestle on the railway line carrying daily Amtrak trains between Toronto and New York City shortly before the train was scheduled to pass over the track, thus derailing it.
U.S. law enforcement and national security officials said U.S. and Canadian agencies were investigating whether the suspects had accomplices in the United States or Canada.
One official said there was "another shoe to drop" in the case. Canada's National Post newspaper reported on Thursday that the FBI was holding a third man in New York.

Remember all the LLL that tried to convince us that Iran couldn't possibly be involved with AlQ (circa 2002 etc.) because Iran is Shia and AQ is Sunni?
Hearing nothing but crickets from them for a while now.
Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials said Saturday, days after the U.S. government finally received details about the call.
In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, officials said.
The conversations are significant because, had they been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family.
As it was, Russian authorities told the FBI only that they had concerns that Tamerlan and his mother were religious extremists. With no additional information, the FBI conducted a limited inquiry and closed the case in June 2011.
Two years later, authorities say Tamerlan and his brother, Dzhohkar, detonated two homemade bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring more than 260. Tamerlan was killed in a police shootout and Dzhohkar is under arrest.
In the past week, Russian authorities turned over to the United States information it had on Tamerlan and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva. The Tsarnaevs are ethnic Chechens who emigrated from southern Russia to the Boston area over the past 11 years.
Even had the FBI received the information from the Russian wiretaps earlier, it's not clear that the government could have prevented the attack.

New York prosecutors are urging a judge not to ban the use of Osama bin Laden's name at the terrorism trial of an Egyptian Islamic preacher.
Federal prosecutors said in court papers Friday that references to the deceased founder of al-Qaida will not be prejudicial. Mustafa Kamel Mustafa is scheduled for trial next March. He has pleaded not guilty.
He was extradited to the United States from Great Britain in October to face charges that he conspired with Seattle men to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon. He's also accused of helping abduct two American tourists and 14 other people in Yemen in 1998.
Defense lawyers had asked the trial judge to exclude bin Laden's name, saying it would be "irrelevant and prejudicial" to Mustafa.

This extreme hate is commmn in the Middle East. Unfortunately these people have been allowed to walk right in and start blowing off peoples limbs and killing spectators with IEDs at sports events that have until now (at least for 230 years) been safe to go to in America.
Multiculturalism in all of its gory glory. The glory of Godless humanism.
Wasn't it obvious? There had to be at least 3 if not more involved.
Megyn Kelly reported Friday that the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks had to be detonated via a 'line of sight' trigger mechanism. According to federal officials this could mean there was a 3rd bomber or accomplice who may have been involved in the attacks. The range of remote control parts is within at least 250 yards or less. The remote control parts are also NOT a part of Al Qaeda's Inspire magazine instructions.
Federal investigators now believe a third terrorist could have been involved in the attacks.

detonated via a 'line of sight' trigger mechanism.
You mean like the man on the rooftop? What do the cell phones tell you? What was the actual detonator? [The fourth terrorist would be Katherine Russell] Again, check the phones, both here and in Russia, along with the computers.
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhohkar Tsarnaev was moved from a hospital to a federal prison medical center while FBI agents shifted the focus of their investigation to how the deadly plot was pulled off and searched for evidence Friday in a landfill near the college he attended.
Tsarnaev, 19, was taken from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was recovering from a throat wound and other injuries suffered during an attempt to elude police last week, and he was transferred to the Federal Medical Center Devens, about 40 miles from Boston, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The facility, at a former Army base, treats federal prisoners.
"It's where he should be; he doesn't need to be here anymore," said Beth Israel patient Linda Zamansky, who thought his absence could reduce stress on bombing victims who have been recovering at the hospital under tight security.

With that, Mr. Hunter, who has received new information on the common ground systems failures.
You mean like.... DCGS will not ingest Palantir Link Analysis Investigations and make them available in their "data storage brains" for user requests ?
The Army has spent gazzilions on DCGS and it is little more than a cumbersome, proprietary piece of crap that requires constant contractor mentoring to operate and Rep. Hunter knows it. On the other hand, Odierno believes female soldier should be RANGERS.

I would bet a month's retirement that as we speak the FBI is using Palantir to build a highly detailed network investigation of the Boston bombers and their network of contacts.
Providing a time-phased visual link analysis of all available reporting, people, photographs, cell phone numbers, physical locations, travel, and kinetic event reporting would be quite impressive to see.

[Jpost] A man was sentenced on Friday to five years in prison for plotting to blow up synagogues in New York City, only the third conviction under a state terror statute passed in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks.
Mohamed Mamdouh, 22, a Moroccan-born US citizen, appeared in a state court in Manhattan after previously pleading guilty to conspiracy as a crime of terrorism and two related weapons charges.
Prosecutors accused him of planning to bomb various synagogues with a co-conspirator, Ahmed Ferhani, in retaliation for what they believed to be shoddy treatment of Moslems throughout the world.
Ferhani, 28, an Algerian, was considered the driving force behind the plot and was sentenced to 10 years in prison in March.
Prosecutors, who joined Mamdouh's defense lawyer in recommending the five-year sentence, said Mamdouh's role was less significant. He had faced a maximum of 25 years in prison for his most serious charge.

It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... from Dubai and was scheduled to address party rallies through video conferencing due to security threats, top party sources told Dawn.com on Friday. "Bilawal travels frequently between Dubai and Karachi and we do not share his travel plans", chief of staff to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Hisham Sheikh told Dawn.com.
Hisham added that "Federal Intelligence Agency (FIA) had informed us in writing about serious security threats posed to the life of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and we have taken measures accordingly.
"Presidential front man Farhatullah Babar also admitted that there were serious security threats to the party's top leadership and candidates but made it clear that the PPP did not want any delay in the polls.

[An Nahar] United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... envoy Martin Kobler warned on Friday that Iraq is at a "crossroads," calling for restraint as a wave of violence killed more than 190 people in four days.
"I call on the conscience of all religious and politicians not to let anger win over peace, and to use their wisdom, because the country is at a crossroads," Kobler said in a statement.
Kobler spoke a day after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ... Prime Minister of Iraq and the secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party.... warned that the country was in danger of returning to "sectarian civil war."
Maliki, from Iraq's Shiite Moslem majority, called on people "to take the initiative, and not be silent about those who want to take the country back to sectarian civil war."
The country was torn by Sunni-Shiite fighting in 2007-2008 in which thousands of people were killed each month.
The latest trouble began on Tuesday when security forces moved in against anti-government protesters near the northern Sunni Arab town of Hawijah, sparking festivities that left 53 people dead.
Dozens more were killed in subsequent unrest, much of it linked to Tuesday's festivities, and the corpse count had reached 195 by Friday.

[An Nahar] U.S. President Barack Obama We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us... on Friday promised a "vigorous investigation" into reports Syrian forces fired chemical weapons and renewed his warning that proof of their use would be a "game changer." My guess is that he'll talk about it until his lips go numb, then we won't hear about it again until the Halabja-style pictures come out. By then his lips will have had a rest.
Obama delivered the warning during talks at the White House with King Abdullah II of Jordan, as he faced rising political pressure for a military intervention in the vicious Syrian civil war.
He told news hounds that U.S. authorities had "some evidence that chemical weapons have been used on the population in Syria, these are preliminary assessments, they're based on our intelligence gathering."
"We have varying degrees of confidence about the actual use, there's a range of questions about how, when, where these weapons have been used," he said.
The president said that Washington would pursue a "very vigorous investigation and would work with its partners towards a definitive answer on the chemical weapons issues as soon as possible.
He said that as horrific as it was that civilians face mortar fire and other attacks, the use of chemical weapons "crosses another line."
"That is going to be a game changer ... we have to make assessments deliberately but I think all of us, not just the United States, but around the world, have to recognize how we cannot stand by and permit the systematic of weapons like chemical weapons on civilian populations.

He will ask for a vigorous investigation, hopefully, lasting long enough for the rebellion to end and Assad hang. By that time, taking action and being a game change are not necessary.

[An Nahar] The Israeli army increased its security alert along the border with Leb a day after it accused Hizbullah of sending a drone that it shot down several miles off the coast of the northern city of Haifa.
According to the state-run National News Agency, the Lebanese army and 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... Interim Force in Leb (UNIFIL) deployed heavily along the border "to prevent any military escalation."
Several reconnaissance jets also flew over several parts of south Leb.
On Thursday, Hizbullah denied sending the unmanned aircraft into Israel's airspace. It was probably Guatamalans. They're shifty little devils.

[An Nahar] U.S. President Barack Obama If you have a small business, you didn't build that... on Friday will host Jordan's King Abdullah II for White House talks that are sure to focus on Syria, after Washington said Damascus ...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world... had likely used chemical weapons.
Just over a month after the king welcomed Obama to Amman, the U.S. president wants to discuss "Jordan's political and economic reforms, the crisis in Syria, and additional regional issues of mutual concern," the White House said.
The two leaders were expected to make brief comments to news hounds before their closed-doors talks at about 1:55 pm (1755 GMT) in the Oval Office.
The United States said Thursday for the first time that it believed Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Supressor of the Damascenes... 's regime had likely used chemical weapons against rebel fighters, though cautioned spy agencies were not 100 percent sure.
Washington has repeatedly said the use of such weapons would cross a "red line," triggering possible military action. Last month during a visit to Israel, Obama said the use of chemical weapons would be a "game changer."
"Our intelligence community does assess with varying degrees of confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria," U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.

[An Nahar] Syria's opposition on Friday urged the U.N. Security Council to take immediate action after the United States said for the first time the regime probably used chemical weapons.
"It is time for the U.N. Security Council to act" on Syria, an official from the main opposition National Coalition told Agence La Belle France Presse.
The U.N. Security Council has been stalled over Syria for more than two years, with members Russia and China backing Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Terror of Aleppo ... and vetoing several draft resolutions that would have imposed sanctions on the regime.
"This is a massive issue, and the Security Council's paralysis over Syria is no excuse," the Coalition official said.
"The U.N. needs to immediately investigate the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Should it find the regime used such weapons, it must act immediately, at least by imposing a no-fly zone," he added.
"If the Security Council cannot break its paralysis, proof of the use of chemical weapons by the regime would open the way for others, such as NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization.... , to act."
The National Coalition has accused the regime of using chemical weapons in the northern province of Aleppo, in Homs in the center of Syria and in rebel-held areas near Damascus ...The capital of Iran's Syrian satrapy... .
On Thursday, the United States said for the first time that Syria had likely used chemical weapons against rebel forces, but emphasized spy agencies were still not 100 percent sure of the assessment.
