[An Nahar] Thirty-one migrants colonists who survived when their boat sank off Crete last week arrived in Egypt on Monday along with the bodies of nine people who died, police told AFP. Two helicopters, three ships and a coastguard vessel scrambled after the makeshift boat sank off the Greek island on Friday with hundreds of people on board.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said the vessel was "believed to have left Africa with at least 700 migrants colonists on board."
The Greek coastguard said on Friday night it had rescued 340 people and recovered nine bodies. The survivors arriving in Egypt Monday were 26 Egyptians, two Sudanese, two Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name.

Friday's shipwreck suggests that people-traffickers are trying to open alternative sea routes to Europe that avoid a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... naval force in the eastern waters between the Turkish coast and the nearby Greek islands of Lesbos and Chios.

[Libya Herald] The governors of Libya’s rival Central Banks agreed last night to work together as a team to design a "unity plan" for the whole economy.
Boss of the Beida-based CBL Ali Hebri and Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... CBL’s Saddek Elkaber met in Tunis along with unnamed members of the House of Representatives’ Finance Committee. A source close to the encounter told this newspaper said the participants described it as a CBL board meeting.
Both governors confirmed that their banks would accept all imported currency for either side. It has been reported elsewhere that LD 50 million of the new "Russian" Libyan dinars is being sent immediately from Beida to Tripoli.
Frustrated crowds gathered outside banks in the capital today seeking to withdraw cash on the eve of Ramadan. It would appear that last Tuesday’s arrival of LD 112.5 million of bank notes, printed in the UK by De La Rue for the Tripoli CBL, has not had a sufficient impact on the cash shortage.
Last night in Tunis, both CBLs also agreed not to attack each other in the media. They said that they were working together as of their meeting.
It is unclear if Hebri’s initiative along with members of the HoR’s finance committee was endorsed by the parliament in Tobruk and backed by the government of prime minister Abdullah Thinni. There has been no reaction yet to the news from the Tunis meeting.
Elkaber was sacked by the HoR in September 2014 after he refused to go to Tobruk to speak to the parliament. He replaced on a temporary basis by Hebri who was then his deputy.
After initially agreeing to step down while his sacking was reviewed, Elkaber decided that his ouster was unconstitutional and that he should serve out his five-year term of office which ends next year.
As the internationally-recognised parliament, the HoR felt that it had the power to fire Elkaber. However since all the main offices and officials were in Tripoli and the Benghazi branch of the CBL was shot to pieces in the early stages of last year’s Operation Dignity, the Tripoli CBL remained the de facto central bank. Hebri’s CBL in overcrowded Beida has never had access to the majority of the bank’s levers.

[An Nahar] A new rebel group on Monday vowed to attack strategic targets across Nigeria, despite calls for a united front but no "life-threatening actions" from other gunnies who have claimed recent strikes on oil facilities.
The group, calling itself the Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force (JNDLF), said it would hit "all those infrastructures that were built with our oil and gas monies in this country".
The list of targets included the presidential villa, government ministries, parliament, the state-run oil firm and the central bank in Abuja, plus the offices of oil majors and the military.
"We will make (the) federal government and oil companies suffer as they have made the people of the Niger Delta region suffer over the years from environmental degradation and environmental pollution," the JNDLF's "Joint Revolutionary Council" said.
Most of the recent attacks on oil facilities in the oil-rich south have been claimed by the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), who want a fairer share of revenue from the sector for local people.
The NDA's sabotage of pipelines and attacks on installations have hit crude production, forcing output down to about 1.4 million barrels day, instead of a budgeted-for 2.2 million bpd.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Saudi 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.... on Sunday greeted Moslems all over the world on the occasion of the start of the holy month of Ramadan, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Moslems begin their month-long dawn to dusk fast at the sighting of the Ramadan crescent.
In his speech read out by Minister of Culture and Information Adel Al-Turaifi and addressed to Moslems everywhere, the Saudi King emphasized the urgent need to realize Islamic unity at a time when the whole world reels under the scourge of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
He reiterated 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... ’s determination to close Moslems ranks and forge better ties with all countries of the world. He said Islam is the religion of peace and mercy, which calls for moderation and renunciation of violence and extremism.
The Saudi King asked Moslems everywhere to use the occasion of the holy month to stay united and devote their worship entirely to God alone.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... on Monday said it would remove the Saudi-led Arab coalition from a blacklist over the deaths of hundreds of children 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... pending a review of the facts.
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... had reacted angrily to a UN decision to add the coalition to a list of children's rights violators after determining that it was responsible for 60 percent of the 785 children killed in Yemen last year.
UN Secretary-General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon agreed to a Saudi proposal to review the facts and cases cited in the report jointly with the coalition, his front man Stephan Dujarric said.
"Pending the conclusions of the joint review, the secretary-general removes the listing of the coalition in the report's annex," he added.
Saudi’s UN envoy Abdullah al-Mualami told news hounds that the coalition felt "vindicated" and declared that the change to the list was "final and unconditional."
Earlier on Monday Mualami criticized a recent report by the international body on the Yemeni conflict, and claimed that the findings were "misleading" and "incorrect."
Mualami said Saudi Arabia does not accept for the kingdom or any of its Arab coalition allies to be placed on a "bad list."
Mualami’s statement, made during a presser at the UN headquarters, comes after the Saudi-led Arab coalition’s military front man on Sunday dubbed the report as "imbalanced" and not reliant on "credible statistics." The report also gave "misleading" and "incorrect numbers," the military front man added.
The Saudi envoy said that the report contained double standards, citing Israel’s exclusion from a UN list. Last year, the UN released a list of children’s rights violators and did not include Israel, despite an outcry over the death of more than 500 children during the Gazoo war the year before.
He also said the report overlooked Saudi’s role in reinstating "legitimacy" in Yemen.
The report was released on Thursday by the office of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. It slammed both the Arab coalition and militia forces for a "very large number of violations" including "attacks on schools and hospitals."

[Dhaka Tribune] State Minister of Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal yesterday suggested an Israeli link to the recent killings spate of secular bloggers and minorities.
While talking to the BBC, the minister highlighted a recent meeting between a BNP politician and a self-proclaimed Israeli politician as his sole evidence of an ongoing cross-border plotting, terming the rendezvous an "international conspiracy" against Bangladesh.
Israel dismissed the suggestion.
Kamal’s comments came a day after the wife of a police brass hat was rubbed out in broad daylight in Chittagong. Another Christian small trader was hacked to death by unknown assailants in NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization.... re.
"Bangladesh has become the target of an international conspiracy. And a foreign intelligence agency has joined the conspiracy," Kamal said while talking to the BBC.
When Kamal was to elaborate, he said: "You must have noticed that an Israeli intelligence agent had a meeting with a politician, it does not need to be verified further, all Bangladeshi know about it."
BNP leader Aslam Chowdhury was recently jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! and charged with sedition after he was pictured meeting Israeli government adviser Mendi Safadi in India. Aslam said he was in India on a business trip and has denied meeting any Israeli intelligence agent.
Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon told the BBC the suggestion of Israeli involvement was "utter drivel."
That was the most diplomatic response that professional diplomatic spokesman could come up with. Back in the office oxygen had to be sent for, they were laughing so hard.
Bangladesh has no diplomatic relations with Israel and supports the Palestanians.
More than 40 people have been killed since January last year in the wave of attacks on those seen by murderous Moslems as offensive to Islam.
The government insists that 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.... or al-Qaeda do not have a presence in Bangladesh and has tended to blame the opposition and local bad boy groups.
Critics have accused the government of failing to properly address the violence in Bangladesh.

[An Nahar] Kazakhstan's security service accused a tossed in the slammer ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... pro-Russian beer magnate Monday of orchestrating recent anti-government protests to allow him to violently seize power in the Central Asian nation.
Police tossed in the clink Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! dozens at small rallies held across the ex-Soviet country on May 21 to protest controversial changes to land ownership laws proposed by the government.
"We have obtained evidence that the so-called land reform protests... were inspired and financed by (Tokhtar) Tuleshov back in December 2015," said National Security Committee (KNB) front man Ruslan Karasev.
He added that several of the businessman's allies in government had also been arrested.
The oligarch is already being held by authorities after he was arrested in an operation in January this year, reportedly on drugs and organized crime allegations.
He previously headed the Kazakh office of a Russian think-tank, the Center for the Analysis of Terrorist Threats (CATT) as well leading Shymkent Beer, one of Kazakhstan's largest breweries.
Tuleshov has in the past acted as an advisor to the Russian parliament and worked to strengthen ties between the two countries.
Kazakhstan remains one of Russia's closest allies although relations soured in the aftermath of Russia's annexation of Crimea and its continued support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Beer magnate eh? Probably was fomenting violence. Just a hop ahead of the police.
[Iran Press TV] Authorities in La Belle France have evacuated 1,850 refugees from a makeshift camp in the north of the country’s capital, Gay Paree.
Local officials said on Monday that the refugees and asylum-seekers were living in tent camps put up at Jardin d'Eole Park, which had also been evacuated a month ago.
Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of the French capital city, said there had been 1,300 people at the camp on Sunday, but the numbers surged as word spread that they would be re-accommodated.
The refugees - mostly Afghans, Sudanese and Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... ns - were taken by bus to about 60 different reception centers in the Gay Paree region, Hidalgo said, adding that it was the 23rd operation of its kind in the capital since June last year.

Use google map to check out your old barracks* back in Europe and now find it filled with 'relocated' immigrants.
[An Nahar] EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini asked the U.N. Security Council Monday to authorize the EU naval force in the Mediterranean to enforce the arms embargo on Libya.
The appeal came as the 15-member council was considering a draft resolution that would allow Operation Sophia to intercept vessels suspected of transporting weapons to Libya.
"We ask this council to adopt a resolution on authorizing Operation Sophia to enforce the U.N. arms embargo on the high seas off the coast of Libya," Mogherini told the council.
Operation Sophia's enforcement of the arms embargo would help shore up the U.N.-backed national unity government by cutting off the flow of weapons to the various militias.

On December 2, 2015, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, dressed in tactical gear and armed with .223 assault rifles, semiautomatic handguns, and body armor, opened fire during a holiday party at Farook's place of employment and killed 14 people and injured 22. The pair fled the scene in a black SUV, but left behind three different explosive devices. It took authorities several hours to render the scene safe and account for the dead and wounded. The attack, and the fact that the couple had not yet been apprehended, paralyzed the surrounding area. Residents were advised to stay indoors and at least one school was placed in lockdown. Later that day, police responded to a tip and, in a shootout in which hundreds of rounds were fired, killed the couple. Police discovered over 1,600 unused rounds of ammunition in their vehicle. A broad federal terrorism investigation ensued, which is continuing. Immediately after the attack, authorities did not know the full identity of those involved or whether further attacks were planned. It is in this context that the following events occurred.

So if I understand correctly, the immigration person said you coppers can't come into my facility without my permission, and I don't have to give you any files pertaining to the San Bernardino shooting, since these files are protected?
And that both of these assertions were later found to be, shall we say, bogus?
Wasn't interagency cooperation supposed to happen after 9/11?

the report last week faulted [Martin] for making agents wait more than 90 minutes before she gave them access to related files on the suspected terrorist, and then she dismissively ordered them to hand copy files, according to the federal report.
[DAWN] Indian prosecutors sought the death penalty on Monday for 24 Hindus convicted over a massacre in Gujarat ...where rioting seems to be a traditional passtime... during religious riots in 2002, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was chief minister of the state.
Judge P.B Desai heard submissions from the prosecution as well as lawyers representing the 24 convicted over the killings, before adjourning final sentencing until Thursday.
The 24 were found guilty last week of playing a role in the massacre of 69 Moslems who were hacked and burnt to death as they sheltered at a residential complex in the city of Ahmedabad, in Gujarat state.
Celebrations had erupted in the court room in Ahmedabad after the verdicts were read out, with victims and their families clapping and thanking the judge.
"I am happy 24 accused were convicted but sad that 36 others have been acquitted. This is incomplete justice and I will fight till the end," Zakia Jafri, whose husband was killed in the massacre, had said.
It was one of the single worst massacres of the week-long violence that left more than 1,000 people dead in total.
Public prosecutor R.C Kodekar told the court on Monday some of the victims were women and kiddies. "The crime is rarest of the rare as the victims were hacked to death and then burnt by the accused," Kodekar told the court.
"The victims were killed only because they belonged to the minority community.
"The accused had targeted innocent people, so they must get the maximum punishment prescribed in law," Kodekar said.

[An Nahar] Former Maldives vice president Ahmed Adeeb was tossed in the slammer Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! for 10 years on on a terrorism charge, his lawyer said Monday, weeks after ex-leader Mohammed Nasheed was granted asylum in Britannia.
With Adeeb's sentencing, almost all of President Abdulla Yameen's key rivals are either in jail or living in exile.
The tiny nation of 340,000 Sunni Moslems has been gripped by political turmoil since Nasheed -- its first democratically-elected president -- was toppled four years ago in what he claimed was a coup led by mutinous police and troops.
Nasheed -- whose legal team includes high-profile human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... lawyer Amal Clooney -- was sentenced to 13 years on controversial terrorism charges last year but was allowed to travel to Britannia for surgery last month and was granted political asylum.
Adeeb's lawyer Moosa Siraj told news hounds that his client was convicted on Sunday night following a closed-door trial based on witness testimony that Adeeb brandished a handgun at an opposition rally in May last year.
"It is an unfair trial and we will appeal against the verdict at the High Court," Siraj told news hounds in Male.
A court official said the case record will not be released to the public as it was considered a matter affecting national security.

[Iran Press TV] Russia has vowed to provide Syrian government troops with the "the most active" air support around Aleppo following the death of scores of people during fierce clashes with terrorists over the weekend.
During a press conference held in Moscow on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov added that the so-called moderate opposition groups had been given enough time to leave the city. Washington recently asked Moscow to stop conducting airstrikes against the al-Nusra Front terrorists in Syria over fears of hitting the US-backed groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A US-backed offensive to retake ISIS-held northern Syrian city of Manbij has displaced some 20,000 civilians and could uproot about 216,000 more if it continues, a UN humanitarian agency said on Monday.
Syrian fighters have surrounded Manbij from three sides as they press the onslaught against the Lions of Islam near the Turkish border, a front man for the fighters said on Monday.
The report by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said it was possible people would "face impediments" to moving out of ISIS-controlled areas and they had a critical need for shelter, drinking water, food and health care.
Civilians were mainly moving north towards nearby towns and to the Jarablous border crossing with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... or west towards areas held by other rebel groups, while lesser numbers had gone south to villages along the Euphrates River.
OCHA said newly uprooted people might try to head towards Al-Bab or Azaz, two towns west of Manbij, or south to the Maskanah plain close to Lake Assad.
Offensives aimed at rolling back ISIS gunnies around Tabqa could also trigger displacement, OCHA said. Tabqa, close to the Euphrates Dam at the other end of Lake Assad from Manbij, is the apparent target of a Russian-backed offensive by Syrian pro-government forces.

"Wudn't us. Musta been the Ruritaneans. Have you seen any brilliantly white ostrich feathers lying about?"
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Russian warplanes did not hit the Syrian town of Ashara in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor on Monday where at least 17 people were reportedly killed in an air raid, Russia’s Defence Ministry said in a statement.
Russia’s air forces did not carry out any combat missions in the area, Russian news agencies quoted Defence Ministry front man Igor Konashenkov as saying.
Syrian and Russian warplanes killed at least 17 people in an air raid on a market in Ashara, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported. Eight children were among those killed and the toll was expected to rise, it said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes on Al-Asharah, a town held by ISIS in Deir Ezzor province, were suspected to have been carried out by either Russian or Syrian government planes.
"The market was overcrowded on Monday because people were shopping for Ramadan," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said.
He said many of those killed were from the same family, and that the corpse count was likely to rise because of the serious condition of some of the maimed.
Residents of nearby villages typically flock to Al-Asharah market to do their shopping, Abdel Rahman said.
Heavy air strikes hit IS-held areas in and outside the divided city of Deir Ezzor from early Monday, he said.
ISIS controls more than 60 percent of the city, besieging an estimated 200,000 people there.
The krazed killer group also controls most of the surrounding oil-rich province by the same name.

[An Nahar] U.S. President Barack Obama That’s just how white folks will do you.... will visit Poland and Spain in July, in what will likely be his final trip to Europe, a continent that has often presented more problems than opportunities during his presidency.
The White House said that Obama will travel to Warsaw on July 7-9 for "his fifth and final summit with NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... leaders," before going on his first trip to Spain.
During his nearly eight years in office, Obama has at times had difficult relationships with America's oldest allies.
For most of his first term, Europe was frustratingly slow to contain sovereign debt crises that were fed by and prolonged the Great Recession.
Relations with Europe were further tested by Obama's "pivot to Asia" -- which was widely perceived as capping a decades-long strategic shift from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Obama has publicly said that it was a mistake to depend on European allies to manage Libya's emergence from decades of Muammar Qadaffy ...whose instability was an inspiration to dictators everywhere, but whose end couldn't possibly happen to them... 's dictatorial rule.
Five years after Qadaffy was killed, the country is still in turmoil and is now a base for the 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.... group.
