[IsraelTimes] In other changes to curriculum, Mubarak's role in Yom Kippur War is played down, content added during Moslem Brüderbund's rule is removed
The peace treaty signed between Israel and Egypt in 1979 will for the first time be taught in Egyptian schools, Army Radio reported Tuesday.
The station said a news hound had read the new schoolbook on Egypt's modern history, which includes a chapter dealing with the Camp David agreement.
The peace deal is described in a matter-of-fact way, without bias or any attempt to present Israel in a negative light, the report said.
The authors of the Egyptian schoolbook, intended for the ninth grade, detail eight clauses from the agreement, which are reproduced in the book verbatim. These include phrases on Israel and Egypt"ending the state of war" and on "each side respecting the illusory sovereignty and independence of the other side."
The paragraphs describing the subsequent murder of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, who signed the treaty and made a historic speech at the Israeli Knesset, do not mention that he was murdered by activists who objected to the peace accord.
The authors note that Sadat and then-Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin won the Nobel Peace Prize for signing the treaty. "The reason they won was the great effort they invested in reaching peace in the Middle East," the book says.
According to Army Radio, the new inclusion of the peace treaty is part of an overarching change in the contents of schoolbooks for all grades announced by the Egyptian Education Ministry two years ago. Content in some 1,300 different books was changed and in some instances the changes were decisively political, said Army Radio.
Among the changes, Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... 's role in the Yom Kippur War, in which he served as commander of the Egyptian air force, was marginalized when compared to its portrayal during his tenure as the country's president. Mubarak was removed from power in the Arab Spring demonstrations of 2011, following 30 years of rule.
Additionally, some content added to books during the short presidency of the Moslem Brüderbund's Mohammed Morsi (2012-2013) was removed. These additions preached a return to Islamic values in line with the Brotherhood's Islamic ideology. Morsi was deposed in 2013 by then-army chief and current President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, and his movement was banned.

It may not mean much to you, but THAT is a significant move.
Egypt is on the right track, which is more than I can say about most Nations in the region.
Sisi is really serious about getting some Real stability there. But it will take many more reformers after him to get it even close to a normal, peaceful, Prosperous Country.
But I want to say, I do see his Heart is true. He really is kind of alone out there right now. I was hoping he would have more help from US.
Murder squad detectives have released a man arrested after a Muslim religious leader was left for dead from a brutal attack while walking home from a mosque.
Jalal Uddin died in hospital from serious head injuries after being assaulted in a children's playground in Rochdale on Thursday night.
A 31-year-old man arrested yesterday on suspicion of murder has now been released without charge and eliminated from police inquiries. Detectives say a racist motive for the murder has not been ruled out but they are keeping an "open mind".
It is now believed he was assaulted sometime between 8:41pm and 8:48pm after he was walking home from a friend's house on South Street.
Detective Chief Inspector Terry Crompton of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We have carried out a significant number of inquiries since Thursday evening to establish what happened to Jalal that led to his tragic death, and we are providing support to his family.
"Following extensive analysis of CCTV in the area, we now know that Jalal walked into the park from the South Street entrance at 8.41pm. He was then found injured seven minutes later by a passing member of the public.
"We are keen to hear from anyone who saw anything in the South Street area around that time, and from people who were using the park that evening. You may think your information is trivial but it could be crucial to our investigation.
"We are still working to establish the exact circumstances surrounding how Jalal came to suffer his injuries and we are keeping an open mind as to the motivation behind this attack, with a number of lines of inquiry currently being investigated."

Anybody checked with Halliburton Meteorite Division?
[ALMANAR.LB] Russia has sent several fighter planes including fourth-generation jets and a transport helicopter to reinforce its air base in Armenia near the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , the defense ministry said Saturday.
Four fourth-generation Mikoyan MiG-29 jets as well as a number of modernized MiG-29S bombers and a Mil Mi-8MT helicopter have been dispatched to the base, a statement said.
Russia's base at Erebuni airport just outside the capital Yerevan already has nine fourth-generation MiG-29 planes designed to carry a payload of up to 4,000 kilograms of weapons and with larger fuel tanks, allowing them to spend more time on missions.
Russia also has a base for ground troops at Gyumri, some 55 miles (90 kilometers) from the capital of the ex-Soviet republic.
Yerevan is around 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Armenia's border with Turkey, which has been closed since 1993 due to the countries' long-running feud.

North Korea now has the capability to conduct nuclear tests without displaying any signs of test preparations to prying eyes. The website 38 North said Pyongyang appears to have altered test preparation practices to make them more difficult to detect, as demonstrated by its latest nuclear test last month.
The site said previous images suggest Pyongyang may already have finished digging several underground tunnels at its main nuclear test site in Punggye-ri, which would allow them to conduct another test "with little or no warning."

North Korea fired artillery rounds during an apparent military drill near a frontline island on Saturday, a military spokesman from South Korea said, as tensions run high following nuclear and missile tests by Pyongyang.
The incident comes days after the South said it would conduct its largest ever annual joint military exercises with the United States in March. The exercises usually cause a spike in cross-border friction.
“The North Korean army fired a few artillery rounds” at around 7.20am from an artillery battery at Jangsangot promontory on its southern coast near the disputed sea border between the two Koreas, a defence ministry statement said.
“North Korea is believed to have conducted a military drill” north of the sea border, it said.
As a precautionary measure the South urged residents on Baengnyeongdo island to prepare to go into shelters and fishing vessels at sea to return to nearby ports, it said.
In 2010 the North shelled Yeonpyeong island near Baengnyeongdo, killing four people, in response to a live-fire drill conducted by the South near the disputed sea border.

[Ynet] An expulsion order has been issued for hundreds of migrants living in a huge swath of the Calais camp known locally as "the jungle," demanding that they remove their makeshift homes and possessions within four days.
The order, published Friday by the regional prefecture, says residents of the camp's southern sector must clear out by 8 p.m. Tuesday so it can be razed. Authorities estimate that 800-1,000 migrants live in that sector, crammed with shops, cafes, mosques and churches. Humanitarian groups say there are many more.

Started looking at the comments on that article. Reminded me of the flamewars in the late 80s early 90s on the USENET side of the Internet that almost got Turkey and Greece cut off the Internet. Turkey's secret police believe in fame wars.
I feel the same way about them as I do about a raccoon in my garbage can. Flame wars are no different and their retarded intel folk don't understand that.

Recip has alienated everyone, and pi$$ed off the Russian bear. He has supported ISIS and their criminal oil trade. He has enabled dumping of hundreds of thousands of migrant jihadis in Europe. He is as much of an enemy as ISIS. He will bring death and destruction to Turkey until he is removed from office.

The government screws up and blames a private corporation. Typical...
The San Bernardino County government on Friday night said the FBI told its staff to tamper with the Apple account of Syed Farook, who with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the December shooting in which 14 people were killed.
The development matters because the change made to the account – a reset of Farook’s iCloud password – made it impossible to see if there was another way to get access to data on the shooter’s iPhone without taking Apple to court.
“The county was working cooperatively with the FBI when it reset the iCloud password at the FBI’s request,” read a post on San Bernardino County’s official Twitter account.

If you see these two fellas, give your local FBI office a call. They're up to no good. Virtually anything could happen.

Besoeker. I think somebody already did. It was, iirc, Russian intel.
But...The FBI figured "You're not the boss of me," and dismissed any evidence they found, which, apparently, was zilch anyway.

From the same bureaucrats like the EPA who dump tons of toxic waste into the water supply of CO and NM. Blame the other guy. Not to be confused with the Forest Service people who actually burned down Los Alamos, cause their schedule was more important than drought and weather conditions. No one will get fired. Repeal the Civil Service Act. At least then we can hold your elected officials personally responsible.
FAISALABAD: The Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the killing of three police personnel in Faisalabad, police said on Saturday.
On Friday, two men riding a motorcycle opened fire on three personnel, including an assistant sub-inspector (ASI), of the Punjab Highway Patrol near Merawala Bangla. As a result, three policemen were killed.
A police investigator said they had seized 40 pamphlets of the IS from the crime scene, claiming responsibility for the attack. He said the militant group also threatened more attacks on the law enforcement agencies.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan reiterated on February 13 that IS had no presence in Pakistan. He said that some terrorist organisations functioning in the country were using IS’s name. Besides police, other law enforcement agencies have also initiated investigations to find clues to IS’s involvement in the recent terrorist attacks. Another investigator said that security officials were trying to find out if IS or some local religious group was involved in the recent terrorist attacks.

[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: This year's first polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set... case from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... has been confirmed, with Polio Virology Laboratory of the National Institute of Health reporting onset of paralysis in a 19-month-old child of Nowshera district.
With the new case, the total number of polio cases to be reported this year in the country has reached two.
An official of the Ministry of National Health Services (NHS) said sample from the child had been collected in January.
"The child, Abdullah son of Jehad Khan, is 19 months old and is resident of Shireen Khotey village, in tehsil and district Nowshera," he said.
He said the child belonged to an Afghan family and was administered at least 10 doses of polio vaccine during different vaccination campaigns.
The country's first polio case for the year was reported on Feb 5 from Gadap Town, 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... . The affected child, Ijaz Khan, was 34 months old and belonged to a Pakhtun family.
"Malnutrition is emerging as a major reason for the disease because the immunity of the affected child from Karachi was very low," said the NHS official.
Last year, 54 cases of polio were reported in the country.
"We are still hopeful that polio will be eradicated from the country this year," he said. "We are not going to miss any child during the vaccination campaigns," he added.

[DAWN] LAHORE: In what appeared to be a surprising move, Pakistain lodged on Friday an FIR against the four alleged attackers of the Pathankot airbase in India and their accomplices.
India has alleged that Pakistain's territory was used for the Jan 2 terrorist attack and has been pressurising Pakistain to act against the people involved in it.
The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) of Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... police lodged the FIR in Gujranwala cop shoppe against the alleged attackers under sections 302, 324 and 109 of the Pakistain Penal Code and sections 7 and 21-I of the Anti-Terrorism Act.
"It has been informed by the National Security Adviser (NSA), India, Ajit Doval, that on Jan 2 four persons entered the premises of Pathankot airbase and resorted to heavy firing, resulting in the death of seven personnel. The attackers also were killed in the ensuing gunbattle. It has been further reported by the Indian NSA that these attackers had probably crossed the border from adjacent to Pathankot general area," the FIR read.
It stated that while inside India they had been making phone calls to Pakistain from phone numbers used for the communication. The NSA claimed that these persons belonged to a proscribed organization, said the FIR lodged by Aizazuddin, deputy secretary of the Ministry of Interior.
"In order to investigate this high-profile case afresh, the government will soon form a new joint investigation team (JIT) comprising security and military officials," an official privy to the development told Dawn.
The previously notified JIT headed by CTD Punjab's Additional IG Rai Tahir, he said, would stand dissolved after the formation of the new investigation team.

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The U.S. Lt. Gen. Charles Brown Jr. revealed, that the U.S. Air Force pulled its Lancer B-1 bombers from the operations carried out by Washington against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
Brown told reporters at the Pentagon via a video link obtained by IraqiNews.com, “The fleet of B-1 Lancer bombers had been sent back to the United States from their deployment in the Mideast,” adding that, “The four-engine bombers are due for upgrades to their cockpits, a process that will keep the jets stateside for an undetermined amount of time.”
Brown also pointed out, “The air campaign against ISIS will continue and the B-1s will likely be part of it again,” indicating that, “Other U.S. and coalition aircraft would pick up the B-1s’ missions during the upgrades.”
Speaking at the Air Force Association's Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition last September, Lt. Gen. John W. Hesterman III, the Air Force's assistant vice chief of staff said, "Last Tuesday, we emptied three B-1s over Iraq and Syria -- 80 targets in 20 minutes -- that's significant."
B-1s from the 28th Bomb Wing out of Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, home to 27 of the bombers, flew 490 sorties against ISIS in a six-month deployment that ended in January, according to a release from the bomb wing. They dropped 3,800 munitions on 3,700 targets, a base release says.

Would it be more cost-effective to build a bunch of new B-52s, considering how the bomber fleet is being used? Could even contract it out to Brazil or India & really save money. Or maybe modify 747s for bomb delivery. Don't need all the expensive high tech stuff in the B-1 (& B-2).

Glenmore,
Believe it or not, it's not impossible to new-build BUFFs - the dies and tooling are still in storage, but only for the H model. What might be problematic would be the wing spars, which were made in an ALCOA factory a couple miles from where I grew up in Cleveland. The stamping press is a one-of-a-kind piece of machinery, and may not be usable, though officially the USAF keeps it in 'standby'. (If they ever need more cupholders on the F-35 though, it's probably outta here)

Sounds like a perfect time for a bomber based drone mothership and hundreds of little bomb drones to be built.
The perfect way to say, "Fuck you and your C&C, tanks, bunkers, bridges, electrical grid and pretty much anything else we think you need to be without."
[Ynet] Improvised firearms used in some recent terror attacks are reaching level of military-made arms, firing like an AK47 or M-16.
The gun that killed Hadar Cohen was not carried into the Paleostinian territories through tunnels or smuggled past guards at a checkpoint. It was an improvised firearm, probably home made in a basement or kitchen somewhere in the West Bank.
The 19-year old Border Policewoman was killed and a colleague maimed in a combined stabbing and shooting attack at Jerusalem's Damascus Gate at the beginning of the month. The three attackers, Paleostinians in their early 20s from the northern communities in the West Bank, had been approached and questioned because they were acting suspiciously, prompting their deadly reply.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Lebanese politician Samir Geagea ... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ... urged his government on Saturday to punish "armed parties" in Leb involved in insulting "brotherly" Arab states, in remarks seen as an indirect reference to the powerful bad boy group Hezbollah.
Geagea, leader of the Christian party Lebanese Forces A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb... , urged 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 reconsider its suspension of a $3 billion aid package to the Lebanese army.
In a televised speech, he indirectly called for punishing Hezbollah over a stance that expressed a deepening hostility towards Saudi Arabia.
"The Lebanese law forbids any internal party of offending brotherly Arab states," said Geagea in a reference to Hezbollah, adding that the group should be punished per the law.
Geagea's statements followed a Saudi decision on Friday to halt an aid package to the Lebanese military to buy French arms.
The surprise move prompted Leb's Prime Minister Tammam Salam to call on Saudi leaders to reconsider the decision.
"We express our deep appreciation for King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Cutodian of the Two Holy Mosquesand Lord of Most of the Arabians.... bin Abdulaziz and his brothers in the Saudi leadership ... and we hope for a reconsideration of the decision to halt the aid for our army and security forces," he said in a statement.
The Saudi state news agency said earlier on Friday that Riyadh was suspending the package pledged in 2013, with an official saying it was a response to Beirut's failure to condemn attacks on the kingdom's missions in Iran.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Syria's opposition has agreed to a two- to three-week truce on condition that Russia stops its air strikes, sieges are ended and access for aid allowed across the country, a source close to peace talks said on Saturday.
Russian air strikes began last September and turned the tide in Syria's five-year civil war in Bashir al-Assad's favour, to the frustration of the United States and its allies who have supported rebels trying to topple the president.
Several attempts to agree a truce have failed in recent months.
"The message has been conveyed very clearly now that the opposition is willing to enter into a two- to three-week truce, and that's open to renewal if the conditions are right and both sides are willing to renew it," the source said.
The opposition also wants vulnerable prisoners, including women and kiddies, to be released, the source said.
Russia and the U.S. are jointly chairing a United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... meeting in Geneva aimed at trying to secure a cessation of hostilities in Syria.
U.S. and Russian military officials met ahead of the wider meeting, diplomats said on Friday.
A truce would be renewable and supported by all parties except 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.... , the source said. It would also be conditional on the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front no longer being targeted, at least to start with, the source said.
The Nusra Front is considered a terrorist organization by the U.N. Security Council and banned.
Asked if the opposition's insistence on the Nusra Front no longer being targeted was the main stumbling block, he described it as "the elephant in the room".
"They have to deal with this very delicately or they are going to end up with a civil war in Idlib on their hands," the4 source said.
Nusra fighters are fighting alongside other rebel groups in some areas, including Idlib.

Iran has increased oil exports by 400,000 barrels per day at the first month following the removal of international sanctions against Tehran, Mohsen Ghamsari, director of International Affairs of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), said, Mehr news agency reported Feb. 20.
Iran’s crude export in February has reached 1.4 million barrels per day (mbpd), Ghamsari said, forecasting that the figure will stand at 1.5-1.56 mbpd by March. He further said that the European markets were the main destination for the Iran’s increased export.
Ghamsari added that east European countries will be new markets of Iran’s crude oil in post-sanctions period. In the near future further oil shipments will be exported to the European countries, he said.
Earlier Rokneddin Javadi, the Managing Director of National Iranian Oil Company said Iran will be sending the second oil cargo to European Union before the end of February.
In mid-February Iran loaded its first cargo of oil to Europe since international sanctions ended, as three oil tankers including one of Total, sailed from Iran's Kharg Island to Europe.
