A new video reportedly recorded in Faryab province shows that a Taliban local commander Sayed Hashim Hashemi accuses Taliban's new leader Mullah Akhter Mansour of having plotted the murder of the group's longtime leader Mullah Omar.
In the video, he warns Mullah Mansour of a severe response.
The Taliban split into several factions after reports emerged that the group's reclusive leader Mullah Omar had died two and half years ago in Pakistan, an announcement which sparked an internal power struggle, allegedly leading to a split.
"We do not have affiliation to the government, but we hear that ISI (Pakistan's military intelligence) is reconciling among them (Mullah Mansour faction plus government). This is a war of politics and the entire people know it. You will soon see the collapse of the entire Faryab province and people will join us.
Because Mullah Rasoul is our elder and their's (rival faction) is Akhter Mansour who works under ISI," Sayed Hashim Hashemi said.
"Akhter Mansour is the killer of Mullah Mohammad Omar. Mullah Rasoul is a Mujahid and the whole world knows this. But Akhter Mansour is the killer of Mullah Mohammad Omar. Akhter Mansour is a branch of Pakistan's ISI. Our elders have announced their disagreements against him. The people maintain rights on us in Islamic perspective and according to Sharia law and human rights," he says in the video.
Despite such contradictions, so far none of the groups have given the green light to negotiate with the government and both have continued their armed attacks against the government.
The new video is the second of its kind after Mansour's rival faction refused to pledge their allegiance to him at a gathering reportedly held in Farah province a few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the Afghan security institutions have reiterated that the security forces will continue to fight any insurgent group including the Taliban.
Always a morning after...
Officials who signed the controversial Dand-e-Ghori deal, on Sunday expressed their regrets over the accord with the Taliban.
They say the deal over Dand-e-Ghori area of Baghlan province could have paved the way for a surge in activities of the Taliban and expanded their influence in the volatile region.
Outraged by the deal, members of the Baghlan provincial council on Sunday said that the deal led the entire area to be out of the control of the government, calling on the prosecution of the elements who made the deal with the hardline group.
Violence increased dramatically in the area following the deal.
"We thought that they (Taliban) will avoid violence, but they exploited the opportunity," said Safdar Mohseni, one if those who signed the deal.
It is believed that the deal paved the way for Taliban insurgents to gain footholds in other areas, a move that has posed serious threats to northern and northeastern provinces.
"It was a poisoned deal," said a member of Baghlan provincial council Mohammad Hanif.
"The accord increased the morale of the enemy and it certified the existence of the enemy in Baghlan."
"Government must launch an investigation into the matter and prosecute those who played a role in signing the accord," another member Mohammad Zarif said.
Led by the minister of borders and tribal affairs Gulab Mangal, a government delegation visited Baghlan six months ago and signed the MoU with the Taliban which many believe was against a presidential order. The deal agreed Afghan security forces would not launch operations in Dand-e-Ghori.
"The enemy recruited fighters here and trained them. Taliban infiltrated from Dand-e-Ghori to Kunduz and other areas," Baghlan MP Muhaiuddin Mahdi said.
Amid a surge in Taliban's insurgency in Baghlan, the Afghan security forces however have launched a military campaign against the insurgents in Dand-e-Ghori and Dand-e-Shahbuddin areas in an attempt to eliminate the Taliban fighters and clear the area of the militants.
"Not only in Dand-e-Ghori, the security forces will continue their operation against them in all areas including Dand-e-Ghori and Dand-e-Shahbuddin," Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the ministry of interior said.
This comes months after a similar accord had been signed with the Taliban in Musa Qala district of Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, a deal which later led to numerious challenges for Afghan troops.
The Deputy Chief of Army Staff, General Murad Ali Murad, said that foreign militants, particularly Pakistani rebels, are fighting alongside the Taliban against Afghan security forces in northern Baghlan province.
"The operations will be conducted in different phases. Some 37 militants have been killed and 21 others wounded in the operations. Foreign militants, particularly Pakistani rebels, are among those killed and injured. This shows that foreign rebels are fighting alongside the Taliban militants against Afghan forces," he said.
Gen Murad, who is on a visit to Baghlan province to monitor fighting between Afghan forces and the Taliban, said some 37 militants have been killed and 21 others wounded in the six-day battle.
Terming bad weather as the main hurdle for Afghan forces to make progress, Murad said that security forces are continuing their operations in Baghlan.
"As you know, air and land operations have been underway in Baghlan over the past few days. Today, I have come to the province to monitor the operations. Unfortunately, the weather was bad in the past couple of days and today it is still rainy and snowing; however, security forces continue their offensives," he said.
The Deputy Chief of Army Staff assured people that the operations will continue until the complete elimination of militants.
Baghlan council deems Murad's trip as effective, but said that the pace of the operation is slow.
Besmillah Batash, a member of Baghlan provincial council, said Murad's trip to the province will strengthen Afghan forces. "However, the pace of the offensive in the province is slow. We urge Murad to intensify the operations," he added.
He said that power pylons should be re-installed soon.
Afghan security forces launched large-scale military operations against militants in Dand-e-Ghori and Dand-e-Shahabuddin areas of Baghlan province last week.
The Taliban on the first day of the operation blew up a power pylon in Baghlan province and stopped electricity supply from Tajikistan to Kabul.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The United States along with its international partners has been fighting with terrorism for over a decade now but it still finds Afghanistan a dangerous country.
“At this point it’s clear that it’s a very difficult situation in Afghanistan right now. It’s a dangerous country,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. Maybe if we were to kill everybody who looks crosswise while wearing a turban and carrying an automatic weapon things would get better. Being a member of the Taliban (Afghan or Pak), the Haqqani Network, IMU, al-Qaeda, or Daesh should be grounds for immediate on the spot execution. Apprehending same should be the start of rounding up all their acquaintances, to include their parents and grandparents, for interrogation.

My pastor's guard unit got called up for Afghanistan tour later this year. So another mini-surge?
While the US Obama administration is considering starting up a new frontier against ISIS in Libya, in efforts of ending the option of terrorists establishing a new center and taking advantage of the state of chaos there, the pentagon began preparing for options of military intervention.
The US Secretary of Defense claimed that action should be taken before Libya is turned into harbor for ISIS extremists, and before complication upturns, in terms of removing them from the country, Agence France-Presse reported.
The US Secretary of Defense revealed that the aftermath of extremists influx into Libya can be compared that with Iraq and Syria, and stated that all efforts should be spent for the situation to be contained in prevention of it escalating like what had happened to the latter mentioned.
Informed sources revealed to Asharq Al-Awsat that the Sarin gas is a compound chemical forbidden by the international law and stated that its a chemical that nerve agent developed into weapons of mass destruction, is present in Libya.
Worth noting that sites rich with Sarin gas storage in Libya are at a majority under control of ISIS extremists.
Furthermore, sources revealed that zones known for holding the highest percentages of Sarin gas storage in Libya like al-Nakhlat compound, located in the Bab al Huriya area, are infested with armed ISIS militants.
Statements came in, on militants stealing large excesses of the nerve agent and sending it to their fellow ISIS militants in the city of Sirte, located halfway between Tripoli and Benghazi, in cargo dispatched under the name of “Al-Rabita merchandise”. Al-Rabita is a mountainous city famous for palm trees and streams of water.

I hope they understand that they need to bleed a little of that stuff out of the storage containers once a week or else it will explode and kill everybody . . . .
This should go well...
RIYADH: The Saudi-led Arab coalition battling Shiite rebels in Yemen announced Sunday the creation of an independent commission of inquiry to examine charges of possible abuses against civilians in the conflict.
In a brief statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the coalition said it formed “an independent team of experts in international humanitarian law and weapons to assess the incidents and investigate the rules of engagement.”
The coalition said the objective was to “develop a clear and comprehensive report on each incident with the conclusions, lessons learned, recommendations and measures that should be taken” to spare civilians.
A panel of United Nations experts in a report obtained by AFP on Tuesday said the coalition has carried out 119 sorties that violated humanitarian law, and it called for an international commission of inquiry.
The coalition command said it regrets civilian deaths in the country, but asserted that these were "unintended," and was investigating the matter and improving its targeting mechanisms.
Yemen descended into chaos when Iran-backed Houthi militias and loyalists of former Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh fought the UN-recognized government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, prompting neighboring Gulf and other Arab countries to intervene.
More than 5,800 people have since been killed and 27,000 wounded, according to UN figures.
About 60 percent of all civilian deaths and injuries were caused by air-launched explosives, the report said.
[Dhaka Tribune] Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif yesterday warned people against making controversial claims on the number of 1971 Liberation War deaders, saying such statements would invite legal actions.
"The number of deaders and the father of the nation are settled issues. Legal action will be taken against anyone making derogatory remarks and trying to stir controversy over them," Hanif told the media at the party chief's Dhanmondi office.
BNP Chairpersons the loathesome Khaleda Zia Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ... last month questioned the number of deaders. Following her lead, Standing Committee member Goyeshwar Chandra Roy dubbed the martyred intellectuals "anti-liberation elements" who "died like fools" and enjoyed pay and perks provided by Pakistain until the end of the war.
At the briefing, organised to protest against the remarks, Hanif alleged that the BNP itself was founded on the spirit of Pakistain and its founder Ziaur Rahman was an agent of that country.
"Zia created the political platform for 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... after independence and BNP chief Khaleda made several Jamaat leaders ministers. This proves that the Zia family believes in the spirit of Pakistain.
"This is why they are repeatedly making the derogatory comments to create controversy about our Liberation War," Hanif added.

The government would soon take legal action against the persons and organizations responsible for funding murderous Moslems in the country, Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu said yesterday.
"We held a series of meetings on bad boy financing and identified a number of financiers. Soon we will take punitive action against some of them based on the proven allegations," Amu, also the chief of the cabinet committee on law and order, told news hounds.
He said that details of the financiers would be made public later.
The minister also said that they were working to address the legal loopholes so that the detained murderous Moslems cannot get bail easily.
"We will also ensure that the identified criminals do not enjoy unauthorised facilities inside the jails. We have learnt that the local civil surgeons favour the criminals and bring them outside the jail in the name of better treatment. Sometime they suggest that the criminals be sent abroad in parole," Amu added.
The rise in drug trafficking and abuse was also discussed in the meeting attended by Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, LGRD Minister Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Rashed Khan Menon, Senior Home Secretary Dr Mozammel Haque, Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Hoque, BGB Director General Maj Gen Aziz Ahmed and high officials of other law enforcement agencies.
Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed expressed frustration for not achieving the desired goal of containing drugs business.
He said that the law enforcers had seized huge consignments of drugs, especially yaba pills, and jugged Book 'im, Mahmoud! some criminals, but they were yet to bring the situation under control. He suggested that stern action be taken against the godfathers to bring a visible change, meeting sources said.
Later, the meeting decided that necessary action would be taken against the persons responsible for drug smuggling disregarding their identities or political affiliations.
Amu claimed that the government was successful in curbing phensidyle smuggling due to stern action by local administrations, Border Guard Bangladesh and Indian government.
"The Indian government is assisting us regarding the issue. They have shutdown a number of phensidyle factories, set up along the border, as per the list provided by us," the minister added.
The meeting also discussed the issue of blogging platforms and religious fanatics instigating attacks on secular activists.
The participants unanimously agreed that action must be taken for hurting religious sentiment through wrtite-ups and for giving false explanation of Islam to incite militancy.
Amu also said that the law enforcers were on high alert to ensure tight security during the Amar Ekushey book fair.

A former leader of South Korea's ruling party demanded Sunday the government re-introduce tactical nuclear weapons in a bid to counter North Korea's nuclear and missile threats. Chung Mong-joon, who led the Saenuri Party from 2009-2010, stressed the need for the South to declare the end of an inter-Korean denuclearization deal and the withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
"(We) should consider and review 'all alternatives' before too late for our survival," he said on his blog.
Chung, once a seven-term lawmaker, has long called for the South to go nuclear amid the North's continued development of its nuclear arsenal.
The U.S. withdrew nuclear weapons from Korea in the early 1990s, when the two Koreas issued a joint declaration to keep the Korean Peninsula nuclear-free. Chung said the denuclearization deal has already become null and void as the North conducted four nuclear tests, most recently on Jan. 6. He stressed that peace can be maintained by countering nuclear threats with nuclear weapons.
"It's a Cold War lesson," he said. "Talks to get rid of nukes are possible only when there is a strong means corresponding to nukes."
Chung said sanctions and pressure on North Korea would have a limited effect and Pyongyang is expected to seek negotiations with Washington, bypassing Seoul, as a nuclear state.
That's a reason why the South needs to withdraw from the NPT, he added, citing the Article X of the treaty. It says, "Each Party shall in exercising its national sovereignty have the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events, related to the subject matter of this Treaty, have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country."
In the wake of the North's latest provocation, calls have grown here for the South to have its own nuclear deterrence. Rep. Won Yoo-cheol, the floor leader of the Saenuri Party, openly said it's time for the South to have nuclear weapons for peace and self-defense.
President Park Geun-hye said she understands such a sentiment but made clear that her administration will stick to the policy of denuclearizing the entire peninsula.

France has issued an ultimatum to Israel, saying it will recognise a Palestinian state if a renewed push for a two-state solution fails.
What's the point of diplomacy then?
The French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, announced on Friday that France was trying to convene an international peace summit to renew diplomatic efforts by Israel and the Palestinians. He said that if diplomacy failed, France would formally recognise a Palestinian state. Speaking at a conference of French diplomats in Paris, Fabius said: “Unfortunately, Israeli settlement construction continues. We must not let the two-state solution unravel. It is our responsibility as a permanent member of the UN security council.”
The Palestinians have welcomed France’s renewed efforts to negotiate a two-state solution at talks that are expected to include leaders from the US, Europe and Arab nations. The chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said any agreement would require full cessation of Israeli settlement activities within a “specified timeframe”.
Israel has rejected the French drive toward a peace initiative. A senior official said Fabius’s threat to recognise a Palestine state was counter-productive. “There is no logic in a deadline for recognition of a Palestinian state, it will only encourage the Palestinians not to negotiate,” he said.
In April 2014, efforts led by the US – particularly the secretary of state, John Kerry – to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinian territories collapsed. No serious plans to resume talks have been made since.
In December 2014, France supported a UN security council resolution creating a framework for a final resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Those efforts failed due to opposition from Israel and the US on one hand, and an unwillingness by the Palestinians on the other to compromise on the wording of the decision.
Last year France suggested creating an international support group for peace talks. The group met on the sidelines of the UN last year, but without Israelis of Palestinians. Since that meeting Fabius has pushed for the UN security council to condemn Israeli settlements, but this also failed.

It will be interesting to see how they deal with the "migrants" as time goes on.

European rulers been using Jews as scapegoat: to distract & redirect their People discontent for 2000 years. Old habits is hard to break---even when it's no longer safe.

Well, Israel could recognize an Arab state in parts of Marseilles and Paris and elsewhere in what once was France. Apparently French police don't enter some such areas.

Sounds like a good idea. Making them stand on their own two flat wonky inbred feet while waging war on a much more civilised neighbour and seeing their subsidies reduced will be a hoot.
A 13-year-old Russian-German girl has admitted making up a story about being kidnapped and raped by migrants in a case that triggered a furore in Germany and briefly embroiled Berlin police in a spat with the Kremlin, state prosecutors said.
The parents of the teenager, named only as Lisa, reported her missing on 11 January after she failed to appear at school in the Marzahn district of the capital. She reappeared 30 hours later with injuries on her face, and told her parents she had been attacked by men of Middle Eastern or north African appearance. News of the incident spread on social media, sparking outrage among Berlin’s Russian-German community.
But when she was questioned by trained specialists three days later “she immediately admitted that the story of the rape was not true”, said the spokesman for the state prosecutor, Martin Steltner. He said the teenager had been scared of going home after the school had contacted her parents over an incident at school.
Yet the allegations caused uproar in Berlin, particularly after reports of mass sexual assaults allegedly carried out by migrants in Cologne. A Russian-German community group staged a protest, supported by the Pegida-related Bärgida movement. The far-right National Democratic party also demonstrated in Marzahn.
The mood was exacerbated by a report on Russian state TV, in which the girl’s relatives claimed her allegations were not being investigated. The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, also weighed in to criticise the Berlin authorities. “The news that she disappeared was kept secret for a very long time,” he told a press conference, blaming “political correctness”.
Analysis of the teenager’s mobile phone records showed she had spent the night with a friend, who is not being treated as a suspect.
Her mother told Der Spiegel magazine on Sunday that Lisa was “doing very badly” and was having treatment in a psychiatric ward.

The federal workforce, already shaken by a massive cybertheft of personal data, now confronts another reality -- ISIS has some of that same information.
Ardit Ferizi, 20, from Kosovo, was in federal court last week on charges he provided the brutal terrorist organization names, email addresses, passwords and locations of federal employees and military members.
It's worth noting up front the number of people whose information was stolen for ISIS is small -- 1,351, compared to the 21.5 million people whose background security clearance data was poached in the cybertheft announced last year.
Also, there is no reported harm -- physical, financial or otherwise -- to the cyber victims from ISIS. The FBI's criminal complaint against Ferizi, however, paints a frightening picture of what the terrorist group, aka ISIL, planned for that information. More broadly, this case, like the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation, is another indication of the particular threat federal government personnel and workplaces face from extremists, foreign and domestic.
"Specifically, the PII (personally identifiable information), stolen by Ferizi was knowingly provided to ISIL to be used by ISIL members and supporters to conduct terrorist attacks against the US government employees whose names and locations were published," according to the document filed in federal district court in Alexandria by FBI Special Agent Kevin M. Gallagher.
It's one thing if a cyber identity thief goes on a Best Buy shopping spree at your expense. It's quite another if your personal information is obtained by those who practice mass murder.
This has to raise concern for public servants who must trust their employer to safeguard their information, despite serious indications that Uncle Sam, as well as many in the private sector, really can't be trusted in that department. No one is safe. In October, a teenager claimed responsibility for hacking the private AOL email account of CIA Director John Brennan. The New York Post said the account held his security clearance information, including family Social Security numbers.
Last month, the White House outlined the measures the Obama administration is taking to strengthen cyber protections, including stronger authentication for computer systems, increasing scans for compromise and tightening practices for privileged users. Also, OPM has created the position of senior cyber adviser to help cut the risk of future intrusions. In October, the White House released its plan to modernize federal cybersecurity.
The complaint by Gallagher, formerly an independent contractor for two intelligence agencies, says Ferizi stole the information from the computer server that hosts the website of an unnamed business, referred to as "Victim Company." Little was revealed about the firm, except it is a retailer "that sells goods via the Internet to customers in multiple states." The server is located in Phoenix, but Gallagher noted that some theft victims live in the Eastern District of Virginia, which includes an area from the District's suburbs to Richmond and the Hampton Roads region. This part of the state probably was cited because it's the jurisdiction of the district court.
Ferizi allegedly stole personal information belonging not to just federal employees and service members, but to about 100,000 people in total, according to Gallagher. But the suspected intended use of the government personnel data is chilling.
Sometime between June 13 and August 11, 2015, Ferizi provided the personal information "to ISIL, intending it to be used by and for ISIL, and knowing that ISIL would use the PII against the US personnel, including to target the US personnel for attacks and violence," the complaint reads.
On August 11, Junaid Hussain, "a known ISIL member" who received stolen information from Ferizi, reposted an Islamic State Hacking Division tweet, according to the FBI. The tweet linked to a 30-page document with a warning to the "Crusaders:"
"We are in your emails and computer systems, watching and recording your every move, we have your names and addresses, we are in your emails and social media accounts, we are extracting confidential data and passing on your personal information to the soldiers of the khilafah, who soon with the permission of Allah will strike at your necks in your own lands!"
The following 27 pages in the document listed the names, email addresses and passwords, locations and phone numbers for U.S. personnel, according to the FBI. The complaint says the Islamic State Hacking Division, which the FBI says is linked to Ferizi, posted a "Kill List" in March that purportedly included the names and addresses of 100 U.S. service members.
Ferizi was arrested in Malaysia last year. Using the handle Th3Dir3ctorY, he led an Internet hacking group of ethnic Albanians called Kosova Hacker's Security (KHS), the FBI said.
KHS has hit government and private websites in Israel, Serbia, Greece and Ukraine. The group claims it has hacked more than 20,000 websites, including Interpol, the international police organization, IBM research and Microsoft's Hotmail, according to the complaint. KHS also claimed responsibility for having posted more than 7,000 Israeli credit card numbers in January 2012.
When five top administration officials announced new measures for background investigations several days ago, they said "we are committed to protecting the security of not only our systems and data, but also the Personally Identifiable Information of the people we entrust with protecting our national security."
Is that a commitment they -- or anyone -- can keep?

This is the same camp which knew about Hillary's email server. I have to wonder about how many other insecure email servers are being used.
however - Looks like Hillary's email server admin has a new job!

Oh nice, a Murphey Brown joke, except damn fools and damn liars.
It's one thing if a cyber identity thief goes on a Best Buy shopping spree at your expense. It's quite another if your personal information is obtained by those who practice mass murder.
That's why all my NIMS work is addressed to Department of State.
"We are in your emails and computer systems, watching and recording your every move, we have your names and addresses, we are in your emails and social media accounts, we are extracting confidential data and passing on your personal information to the soldiers of the khilafah, who soon with the permission of Allah will strike at your necks in your own lands!"
Then you know better Spanky.
That being said, I would like to remind our viewers of the Highlights of Mosul, directed by the ISJV, where they were cross referencing IDs with a database.
It is a bit more than what a lame fifth cocktail joke deserves. What, no catchy OPM rhymes there at the wash post teapot?
NOORIABAD: Sindh Rangers chief Maj Gen Bilal Akbar has expressed satisfaction that thanks to a Rangers operation in Sindh, especially Karachi, citizens feel confident and secure enough to travel long distances for adventure and entertainment.
He was speaking as chief guest at the prize distribution ceremony of the 3rd Hub Rally, Nooriabad, on Sunday afternoon.
About 15,000 people from Karachi, Hyderabad and other areas visited Nooriabad to witness eight races, including a women’s race, on the newly-prepared 32-km rugged track of international standard. The event, dedicated to the people of Tharparkar, was provided ample security by Rangers personnel.
“We Pakistanis are natural lovers of sports. We, especially our youths who make up some 65 per cent of the population, enjoy such exciting competitions. Our youths are our asset. We should engage them in more healthy activities. And Rangers are glad to have assisted in making Sindh safe enough for its people to come out of their homes without any fear of any kind,” Maj Gen Akbar said.
“Sindh Rangers today is one of the most active law enforcement agencies,” he said.
“Some people say the Rangers operation in Sindh has slowed down. It has not.
“You have to understand that we will be more prominent and active when there are more enemies to overpower. You will not see much action when the criminals have been weeded out as we don’t bother law-abiding citizens,” he explained.
[FOXNEWS] Iran's supreme leader awarded medals to members of the Iranian Navy who he said "captured intruding" U.S. Navy sailors during a tense incident this month.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei awarded the Order of Fat'h medal to the head of the navy of the Revolutionary Guards and four commanders who seized the two U.S. Navy vessels, according to Rooters. Iran's state media reported the news on Sunday.
In a tweet sent from his account Sunday, Khamenei misidentified those who were "captured" as being members of the Marines.
On Jan. 12, Iran captured 10 sailors whose boats "misnavigated" into Iranian waters, according to Defense Secretary Ash Carter. Though the sailors were released the following day, Iran released video of the sailors being captured, detained and apologizing for the incursion.
In one of the more enduring images from the video of the capture, the sailors are shown kneeling on the decks of the boats, with their hands on their heads, all while being watched by armed Iranian troops. Though U.S. officials initially sought to downplay the encounter, Carter recently said the images made him "very, very angry." "I'm so vewwy, verwwy angrwy!"
