[NATION.PK] LAHORE: Hizb-i-Islami Afghanistan chief Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has proposed intra-Afghan talks, “without mediation from any foreign power”.
In a written interview to The Nation, he also gave a formula for peace in his war-ravaged country, an end to war across the country being an important component of it. If any group tries to continue war on being incited, all other parties should try to address its reservations and persuade it to bury the hatchet. But if it doesn’t, the entire nation should fight against it, said the former prime minister of Afghanistan.
Mr Hekmatyar's peace plan, ostensibly, leaves no mediatory role for Pakistain although it has been doing its best to bring the Afghan government and the Taliban to the negotiating table. The two sides have already held a round of talks and the second was due to be held in Murree some weeks ago when the belated news of Mullah Omar ... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality... 's death a few years ago led to an indefinite postponement. After that the fighting in Afghanistan has intensified, with the Afghan president alleging that "message of war is coming from Pakistain", which leaves little hope for resumption of talks in the near future.
The HIA chief said talks should be comprehensive and their agenda be decided keeping in sight the ground realities. He did not identify the parties that should take part in the negotiations. He said all parties should agree that foreign troops leave Afghanistan by the end of the current year; all security agencies should continue to function as usual, and a powerful commission be set up to bring all institutions into the mainstream. Anybody who had supported the Soviet Union or NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization.... forces or wants the foreign forces to stay on in Afghanistan should be removed as head of any security institution.
Such changes should be brought about in the government as are acceptable to all and the governor, police chief or head of any security agency should not be from their native provinces, said Mr Hekmatyar. He said election for the president, national and provincial assemblies should be held in 2016. These elections should be free and fair, held on the basis of proportional representation. Only the national level parties should contest the elections, he said, highlighting the divisive role of the smaller parties. Every Afghan national should serve the army for at least a year to strengthen national defence with a smaller army. The country cannot afford to have a 350,000 strong army, he maintained.
In response to a question, Hekmatyar said there would be no difference in the policies of former president Hamid Karzai and incumbent Ashraf Ghani in the presence of foreign troops.

[AlAhram] Egyptian authorities have closed the Rafah border crossing following a three-day opening to allow Paleostinian pilgrims arriving from 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 return to their homeland, an official at the border told MENA on Friday.
The total number of pilgrims who crossed the border during those two days was 2258, along with 29 Paleostinians who were being deported to the Gazoo strip.
Egyptian authorities have, for the most part, kept the Rafah crossing closed since October 2014, following attacks by Islamist snuffies in Egypt's governorate of North Sinai, which left over 30 security personnel dead.
The authorities have, on occasion, opened the crossing for an average of three-day periods, allowing those in need of medical care to travel to Egypt, and permitting other Paleostinians to travel in either direction.
Cairo has accused the Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, the de facto rulers of the Israeli-besieged Gazoo Strip, of aiding turban groups in northern Sinai. Hamas has repeatedly denied the accusations.
Since Hamas controls the smuggling tunnels, whether they are doing it or allowing it to be done is a distinction without a difference. But how is that smuggling thing going now that Egypt has completed its water-filled moat/fish pond along the Gazan border?
[ALMANAR.LB] Data from 29 countries, mostly from official sources, give a total of 1,358 people died in the September 24 hajj stampede.
The toll is far in excess of the Saudi toll which said that 769 people were killed.
The stampede occurred during a hajj stoning ritual at Mina, near Mecca.Hajj stampede
The corpse count given below by foreign officials and media is now 1,358, well in excess of the Saudi figure.

Still more of the missing to be "found", so the number might still go up into most-devastating-ever territory. A bad omen for the new king, but the do-not-stampede lesson clearly has to be relearnt at regular intervals.
[ALMANAR.LB] The top United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... aid official called for a swift investigation Thursday of a Saudi-US air strike that killed dozens of people at a wedding in Yemen.
Stephen O'Brien, the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said he was "deeply disturbed" by the news that civilians had been killed in Wednesday evening's bombing.
"I call for a swift, transparent and impartial investigation into this incident," O'Brien said in a statement.
"Real accountability for parties to conflict, whether they are states or non-state groups, is urgently needed, to ensure that the commitment under international law to protect civilians is meaningful," he added.
O'Brien quoted Yemen's ministry of public health as saying that at least 47 people were killed and 35 were maimed, among them many women and kiddies, in the strike.
Medical sources confirmed at least 28 deaths to AFP.
The raid hit a house where dozens of people were celebrating in the town of Sanban in Dhamar province, 60 miles (100 kilometers) south of the capital Sanaa, residents said.
It was the second air strike by the Saudi-led coalition on a Yemeni wedding party in just over a week.
O'Brien said that 4,500 civilians have been killed or injured since the Saudi-led coalition began air strikes against rebels 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... in March.
"That is more than in any country or crisis in the world during the same period," he noted.
The strongly-worded statement underscored that the sides have a responsibility under international law to avoid damage to homes and other civilian structures.
"With modern weapons technology, there is little excuse for error," he added.
A Western-backed resolution calling for a UN investigation into rights abuses committed during the Saudi-US aggression on Yemen was withdrawn last week at the UN rights council due to protests from 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... .

No more deposits to your numbered Swiss bank account, Stephen.
[ALMANAR.LB] Yemeni army front man Col. Sharaf Luqman vows that more surprises are awaiting the Saudi aggressors and their allies.
In an interview with al-Manar Website, Luqman called on the aggressors to lay out the women and the children out of the battle, stressing that the Yemeni army and the popular committees welcome man-to-man fight.
Yemeni army front man Sharaf Luqman"We have defense systems which they had not experienced," The Yemeni colonel said, stressing that the army and the committees will use such systems in the coming days.
Asked about the situation in Mareb, Luqman dismissed the "fake victories" announced by the Saudi-led media.
"They said they will enter Mareb and then will move to Sanaa within 48 hours. Up till now 40 days have passed and they did not control but a town near their camp there," the Yemeni colonel said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed his guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread... Luqman noted that the Saudi-led coalition have been using internationally banned weapons in last days, stressing that such weapons are war crimes against the Yemeni people.
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... has been since March 26 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to runaway president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to 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... .
However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... Yemeni army, backed by popular committees and tribal fighter has been responding to the aggression by targeting several Saudi border military posts and cleansing several areas across the country, especially the country's south, from Hadi and al-Qaeda-linked militias.

[Dhaka Tribune] Claiming that the Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... leader's sentence was unfair, the wife of condemned war criminal Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mujahid, Tamanna-e-Jahan, has urged the government to ensure fair trial.
Tamanna made the appeal to President Abdul Hamid, Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums.. , Chief Justice SK Sinha and authorities concerned after meeting her husband at the Dhaka Central Jail yesterday.
"I expect a fair trial...and nothing else. My husband has been sentenced unfairly and I hope it will not happen during the review petition hearing," she said.
The family members met Mujahid in the morning.
A top al-Badr commander during the 1971 Liberation War, Mujahid, 69, has a week to seek a review of the final death verdict handed down by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. He decided to file the petition on October 3, two days after the jail authorities read out the death warrant to Mujahid.
If his review petition is scrapped, Mujahid can seek presidential clemency admitting the crimes he had committed during the war.
"It was a regular meeting. Five members of the family entered the jail at 10:50am and left the place after 30 minutes," Senior Jail Superintendent Jahangir Kabir told the Dhaka Tribune.
Tamanna was accompanied by Mujahid's sons Ali Ahmed Mabrur, Tazdid and Takrir, and daughter Tamrin.
Mujahid's lawyer Shishir Monir told news hounds that his client had directed the counsels to take preparation for filing of the review petition.

[Hurriyet Daily News] The U.S. has started to pull its Patriot missiles stationed in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , despite a recent appeal from Ankara to its NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... allies to keep the air and missile defense units at a delicate time on the border with Syria.
Patriot missiles were initially deployed at the Gaziantep 5th Armored Brigade Command in southeastern Turkey after the country appealed to its NATO allies to guard against rockets from Syria.
On Aug. 15, German Federal Ministry of Defense announced that it would end its contribution to the anti-missile mission in Turkey. The announcement was followed by a statement from the U.S. on Aug. 16 saying it had informed the Turkish government that the mission, due to end in October, would not be renewed.
Did the Rooshuns demand that we withdraw them?
The U.S.'s withdrawal of the anti-missile systems started as the Patriots were brought to the Port of Iskenderun awaiting ships that would return them to U.S. soil. The pull out was initiated despite a recent appeal by Turkey to its NATO allies on Oct. 8, days after Russian jets violated Turkey's airspace near Syria.
I thought NATO was supporting the Turks...

I'm still unhappy with the Turks, but actually, the US State Department put out that canard. Turns out the "blackmail" was already agreed-upon funds for something else. Somebody at State released it and the media ran with it. The Turks got pissed and canc'ed the agreement for the 4th ID.
I'll leave it for the intelligent reader to figure out the motivation on all sides.

No doubt all the drones Turkey bought from Israel before the break up have been flown into the ground by now. It turned out that the Turks aren't nearly as good at flying and maintaining the things.
[Hurriyet Daily News] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... accession process will "advance rapidly" if main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) will come to the government after the Nov. 1 snap election, CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu said in an interview Oct. 9.
"The [EU accession] process will advance rapidly. We won't wait for the EU to open a new chapter. Whatever standards the member countries have for democracy, law, gender equality, judicial independence etc., we will carry them out," Kilicdaroglu said in an interview with Euronews Channel.
"So, we will surprise the union. The union will see that without opening a new chapter, Turkey will have already fulfilled all of the criteria," he added.
Kilicdaroglu also accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... of "sabotaging" the June 7 general elections for not giving the mandate to the CHP after Justice and Development Party (AKP) leader Ahmet Davutoglu failed to form a coalition government.
"The one who sabotaged the elections in a way is the one who lives in the palace, Mr. Erdogan," said Kilicdaroglu, upon a question asking why his party wasn't chosen to form a new government.
"Regarding the constitution, he [Erdogan] needed to be impartial, he neglected impartiality. He was present at the election campaigning rallies. And he asked for votes openly, for the party that he used to be the leader of. He didn't want a coalition; he was really worried about this," said the CHP leader.
"Even he said it would be suicide if Davutoglu had formed a coalition... Now we are heading for another election," he added.

[Hurriyet Daily News] An Istanbul prosecutor has unearthed files which show that Trabzon police intelligence had known about Ogun Samast, the hitman in Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink's murder, before the incident took place.
Gökalp Kökcu, the chief public prosecutor heading the investigation, believes that the Trabzon police intelligence unit was told by Erhan Tuncel, a police informant at the time, that a person named Ogun had been chosen as the hitman for Dink's murder before the incident took place in Istanbul in January 2007.
Samast assassinated Dink in broad daylight on a busy street outside of the office of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos in Istanbul's Sisli district. Samast is serving a sentence of 22 years and 10 months in a high-security prison. Yasin Hayal and Tuncel were accused of encouraging Samast to kill Dink in the Black Sea province of Trabzon.

[Hurriyet Daily News] The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has said it expects the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) to soon cease attacks following a breakdown in a two-year truce.
"I believe a statement about ceasing the attacks will come. We do not know this for sure; there is no information that has been officially conveyed to us," HDP Deputy Group Chair Pervin Buldan said Oct. 9.
"If a positive atmosphere is created and we enter the election environment like this, this sensibility will be taken into consideration by all," said Buldan.
Asked about the PKK's possible ceasing of attacks, HDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtas also said they hoped to soon see an end to violence.
"I hope that we get a result in the near future. We do not have solid information or data in our hands but the place we have brought our works forces us to be hopeful," said Demirtas on Oct. 9, during a meeting with shopkeepers in Istanbul. "Nobody should lose their hope for peace."
Bese Hozat, the co-chair of the Kurdish Communities Union's (KCK) General Presidency Council, penned an article to the pro-Kurdish daily Özgur Gundem on Oct. 8, stating that the PKK would "once again take a historical stance that would contribute more to the big victory the HDP will get in the Nov. 1 polls" and thus "frustrate the AKP's disgusting plans once again and also call [them] to account."
But Deputy Prime Minister Yalcin Akdogan dismissed Oct. 9 talk of a possible PKK cease-fire ahead of the Nov. 1 general election as a "ploy" and pledged that the government would continue to fight "until it gets a result."

As Russian warships rain down cruise missiles as part of its military strike in Syria, there's now a glaring absence in the region: For the first time since 2007, the U.S. Navy has no aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf.
[DAWN] KARACHI: The law enforcement agencies in Sindh have found a "nexus between sectarian snuffies and anti-state elements", posing a threat to peace during Muharram, and the intelligence agencies have been told to keep an eye on the Indian intelligence agency RAW during the month, it emerged on Thursday.
The facts emerged during a meeting held under the chairmanship of Sindh chief minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah here at CM House to review security arrangements for Muharram across the province. The meeting was attended by senior minister for education and information Nisar Khuhro, home minister Sohail Siyal, chief secretary Siddique Memon, Rangers DG Major General Bilal Akbar, principal secretary to the CM Alamuddin Bullo, home secretary Mukhtiar Soomro, additional IG Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. 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... Mushtaq Maher and others.
"The Sindh government has declared 1,229 majalis, 384 matmi processions and 188 tazia processions as most sensitive all over the province. Therefore, there would be three-layer security cordons for processions and majalis," said a CM House statement issued after the meeting.

[NATION.PK] The civil and military leadership is unanimous that Kashmire cannot be excluded from the agenda for any talks with India, officials said today.
This comes after India said it was ready to hold talks with Pakistain but only on the terms that were agreed between Prime Ministers Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... and Narendra Modi in Ufa.
At Ufa this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pak counterpart Nawaz Sharif had agreed to work together to rein in regional militancy, scheduling rare meetings between national security advisers and heads of border security.
The security talks between Pakistain and India scheduled for August 24 this year were called off after New Delhi opposed a planned meeting between Pak envoy in India and Kashmiri leaders. New Delhi insisted to discuss only terror issues.
India's foreign ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said India was committed to Ufa understandings and if Pakistain was ready to talk accordingly "India is ready for it."
Earlier today, Prime Minister's Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi said peace was essential for progress and prosperity in the region.
Yesterday Foreign Office Qazi Khalilullah said Pakistain was ready for talks with India but "pre-conditions are not acceptable."
"We have insisted for negotiations on all issues including the core dispute of Jammu and Kashmire," he added.
A foreign ministry official said Pakistain's civil and military leadership were not ready to hold talks with India without Kashmire on the agenda.
"India wants to exclude Kashmire from the agenda to make Kashmire irrelevant. We can't betray Kashmiris. No talks with India can be complete without Kashmire," he said.
Another official said the Ufa meeting did not prohibit meeting with Kashmiris and New Delhi had unnecessarily raised the issue in August.

[WarIsBoring] When it comes to wars, nations like to have insurance policies in case things go bad. Russia isn't an exception. The Kremlin's ground-attack planes in Syria are not there by themselves, but have cover from high-tech fighter jets in case anyone, namely the United States, tries to challenge the Russian air force.
But Russia has another and far more shadowy insurance policy in Syria. To enact that policy, Russia can call on agents with Zaslon, or "Screen," an ultra-secret group of special operatives long rumored to operate in the country.
Like their American counterparts, the public glamorizes Russia's various "Spetsnaz" units, which are often willing to play along with the portrayals. But Zaslon doesn't do that, as it doesn't officially exist.
But evidence for Zaslon's presence in Syria grew stronger with the recent publication of a new (paywalled) article by authors Mark Galeotti and Jonathan Spyer in Jane's Intelligence Review. Galoetti, a professor at New York University and an expert on Russian special operations forces, wrote the section on Zaslon and excerpted it on his blog.
Zaslon, which operates under the Kremlin's Foreign Intelligence Service, conduct its affairs in Syria separately from the Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU. While GRU agents work in the Syrian defense ministry in Damascus, Zaslon is a "small special forces team ... reporting neither to the GRU or to regular military cells, but instead to the Russian embassy on Omar Ben Al Khattab Street," Galeotti wrote.
What does Zaslon do? It could be serving in an advisory role to Syrian military and government officials, in addition to feeding intelligence back to Moscow. But another job could be -- in the event of a regime breakdown -- to protect, rescue or seize Russian nationals, assets and intelligence documents in the country.
Or whatever else needs doing.
Galeotti added:
The last time I heard with any confidence of Zaslon being deployed (other than a few individuals in extreme diplomatic protection missions) was to Baghdad in the final days of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship. Then, their role was to secure (retrieve or destroy) particular documents, military tech and whatever else Moscow wanted to ensure did not end up in American hands. It could be that, as higher tech Russian kit begins to bolster the regime's capabilities, Zaslon is being deployed again as a precautionary measure.
The $500 million Pentagon program to train "secular" anti-ISIS rebels, which was supposed to be the cornerstone of our policy in Syria has been terminated.
To say that our policy in Syria now is in "disarray" is incorrect. In truth, we have no policy in Syria except aimlessly bombing a few vehicles and buildings every day.
Meanwhile, the administration is bragging that Russia's intervention in Syria is a sign of our "success."
The man is whacked.
Refund? Oh, the money is already gone? Well, where did it go? Please tell me what $500 million USD ACTUALLY DID BUY !

[BusinessInsider] Originating in the IS-run Syrian province of Deir Ezzor, they indicate that IS doesn't tax the people living under its rule so much as it steals from them in order to pay its fighters' salaries and other operating costs.
It all belongs to the conquering Master Religion by right; they simply hold their hand from taking some of it for a while, as they may freely choose to do.
