Members of the Baghlan provincial council on Tuesday raised concerns over ongoing threats by the Taliban against some strategic highways in the northern Baghlan province.
Amid rising violence by the Taliban in the area, council members have said there is an urgent need for government to take more comprehensive security measures to curb the problem.
"The lack of government concentration and in general the negligence of local government have paved the way for the Taliban to launch attacks on Kabul-Baghlan, Kunduz-Baghlan and Mazar-e-Sharif-Kunduz highways. So far up to ten civilians have been wounded as a result of these violent incidents," said Mohamamd Zarif Zarif, a member of the Baghlan provincial council.
In addition, council members accused the local administration of withholding information from the people. They said despite the fact the Taliban is threatening the lives of motorists and passengers, the local administration is reluctant to stop them from traveling on the roads when clashes are underway between security forces and insurgents.
"We live like hostages; roads towards Kunduz are blocked and there is no security on the route toward Mazar-e-Sharif. War also going on towards Kabul. If they (government officials) cannot secure the people, then they must step down," said Nadira Nahrinwal, a civil society activist.
Reports from the volatile region indicate that hardliners associated with the Taliban have been disrupting life for people in the town of Kela Gali in Doshi district - where at least one civilian was killed amid the recent spate of violent acts by the Taliban.
"We were working as daily laborers here. Now, neither the Taliban nor government let us work, Taliban shoot from one side and the government from the other," said a resident of Kela Gai, Sher Ahmad.
Amid widespread clashes by the Taliban, some motorists and passengers from Baghlan have asked government to take steps to improve the security.
"People are faced with enormous problems. The government is really weak at addressing the issue, we call on officials to take steps and reopen the highway so that the Taliban can no longer pose threats to the people," said Abdullah, a Baghlan resident.
Meanwhile, Baghlan provincial council officials have asked the local administration and security forces to stop motorists from using the highways while clashes are underway.
The provincial council warned that the Taliban has managed to advance close to the provincial capital of Pul-e-Khumri. It called on government in Kabul to break its silence and improve security.
The new development takes place just a few months after the hardline movement made a fresh attempt to gain swathes of territory across Afghanistan's northern regions.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] North African countries should be cooperating more to stop ISIS fighters who are fleeing their Libyan stronghold of Sirte from returning to their homelands and causing trouble there, Tunisia’s defense minister said on Tuesday.
Libyan forces aligned with the UN-backed government in 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... launched their campaign to recapture Sirte in May and are advancing on the last areas under its control.
But Tunisia, which estimates that about 4,000 of its nationals left to fight for holy warrior groups, is concerned that many are returning to the country and could turn their focus on home soil.
"The danger is real. Those who leave Sirte are heading south to eventually join Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , but some are also going west," the Tunisian minister, Farhat Hachani, told journalists on the sidelines of a gathering of defense and military officials in Gay Paree.
"There isn’t a regional strategy. Neighboring countries are managing the day to day security and military question ... but while there are terror laws, you need proof that a young person was in a camp or fighting in holy warrior ranks," he said.
International cooperation is "not up to the level of the danger," he added. "We are in a decisive moment. The threats endanger all the region. We have to cooperate before the boat sinks."
His French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian said the spread of faceless myrmidons beyond Libya had to be dealt with and a plan put in place.
"They don’t just disappear so there’s a new risk there and only a real cooperation between all neighboring countries will enable us to face that threat," Le Drian said.

[Siasat] 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 top holy man is revving up the kingdom’s rhetoric against Iran, saying in comments published today that Tehran’s leaders are "not Moslems," in response to rancorous remarks from Iran’s supreme leader.
The remarks by Grand Mufti Abdulaziz Al Sheikh came a day after Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused Saudi authorities of killing Moslems injured during last year’s crush of crowds at the hajj pilgrimage. Their confrontational comments mark a sharp escalation in the countries’ faceoff as their spat plays out across the region.
Khamenei, in remarks published on his website yesterday, said the "heartless and murderous Saudis locked up the injured with the dead in containers ‐ instead of providing medical treatment and helping them or at least quenching their thirst. They murdered them."
Mostly Sunni Saudi Arabia and majority Shiite Iran back opposite sides of the wars in Syria and Yemen, and support opposing political groups in Iraq, Bahrain and Leb.
In comments to the Makkah newspaper, the top Saudi holy man was quoted as saying that Khamenei’s remarks are "not surprising" because Iranians are descendants of "Majuws" ‐ a term that refers to Zoroastrians and those who worship fire.
Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion predating Christianity and Islam and was the dominant religion in Persia before the Arab conquest. "We must understand they are not Moslems, for they are the descendants of Majuws, and their enmity toward Moslems, especially the Sunnis, is very old," the Saudi holy man said.
The September 2015 stampede and crush of pilgrims killed at least 2,426 people, according to an News Agency that Dare Not be Named count. Iran had the highest of corpse count of any country, with 464 Iranian pilgrims killed.
Saudi authorities have not released any findings of their investigation into the hajj disaster. Preliminary statements suggested the crush was caused when at least two large crowds intersected.
Khamenei also blamed Saudi Arabia for an earlier crane collapse in Mecca that killed 111 people, and urged Moslems around the world to reconsider Saudi Arabia’s custodianship and management of Islam’s holiest sites in Mecca and Medina where the hajj is performed. He also said Saudi rulers promote sectarian strife and arm "wicked takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... groups" ‐ a reference to bully boy Sunni murderous Moslems who denounce other Moslems as heretics and non-believers.
The two countries severed diplomatic relations in January after Saudi Arabia executed a prominent Saudi Shiite holy man and angry Iranian crowds overran Saudi diplomatic missions.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Brazilian prosecutors said on Tuesday they had charged Forjas Taurus SA, Latin America's largest gunmaker, in May for allegedly dealing with a known Yemeni arms trafficker in violation of international sanctions.
Prosecutors in the southern city of Porto Alegre, near Taurus headquarters, said a judge had opened a confidential case against the company. Taurus confirmed on Monday a Rooters report that two former executives had been charged over the deal that allegedly sent arms to Yemen's civil war, but the company said it was only a concerned party in the case.
Brazil’s Forjas Taurus SA, the largest weapons manufacturer in Latin America, sold guns to a known Yemeni arms trafficker who funneled them into his nation’s civil war in violation of international sanctions, according to charges in court documents reviewed by Rooters.
Federal prosecutors in southern Brazil charged two former executives of Forjas Taurus in May with shipping 8,000 handguns in 2013 to Fares Mohammed Hassan Manaa, an arms smuggler active around the Horn of Africa for over a decade according to the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... The handguns were allegedly shipped by Taurus to Djibouti and redirected to 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... by Manaa, according to court documents.
Alexandre Wunderlich, a lawyer for the two former Taurus export executives, Eduardo Pezzuol and Leonardo Sperry, said the accusations in the sealed indictment "do not reflect the facts of the matter."
Yemen has been consumed since early last year by a brutal civil war killing thousands of people as Iran-backed Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... hard boyz challenge the Saudi-allied legitimate government.
Manaa, who served from 2011 to 2014 as governor of Sadah could not be reached for comment.
It is believed that Manaa is a top Yemeni arms-dealer and businessman. In October 2009, the Yemeni government released a blacklist of arms dealers with Manaa top of the list, as part of an effort to stem the flood of weapons in the country.

A Japanese command to "destroy" incoming North Korea missiles on Monday repeatedly failed, according to local press.
Tokyo's self-defense forces were unable to recognize North Korea preparations for Monday's missile test because Pyongyang used a road mobile launcher, also known as a transporter erector launcher, Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai reported Tuesday.
On Aug. 3, the SDF was also unable to identify a ballistic missile North Korea launched into Japan's territorial waters. Tokyo subsequently issued a new order to destroy all incoming projectiles entering Japanese airspace.
Japan's "destroy command" would lead to a sequence of events, including the deployment of SM3 interceptor missiles and Patriot missiles. The PAC system would be deployed near the site of Tokyo's defense agency, according to the report.
On Monday, the defense ministry could not detect the three ballistic missiles North Korea fired until they landed west of Hokkaido in Japan's exclusive economic zone.
That sounds rather inexcusable, if true. This is technology that's supposed to work, though I grant that the Japanese haven't had the practical experience the Israelis have recently had.
Tokyo also could not immediately confirm the results of the launch even after Seoul's joint chiefs notified the public of the tests.
Japan press also reported the missiles have increased in strike accuracy. Each of the three missiles launched Monday traveled about 620 miles before falling into Japanese waters, according to the Nihon Keizai. The defense ministry estimates the missiles fell between 125 and 155 miles from Japan's northern island of Hokkaido.
Pyongyang launched the missiles to test out the missile defense systems of Japan, the United States and South Korea, local newspaper Sankei Shimbun stated Tuesday, and the Mainichi Shimbun stated North Korea launched multiple projectiles to make interception more difficult.
No wonder Fat Boy is pleased -- see the other article today. The Japanese are going to need to prepare for multiple launches, decoys and other counter-measures. They'll eventually figure it out but there's going to be a learning curve.
On Tuesday, North Korea state media focused heavily on the Monday launches. Pyongyang's Rodong Sinmun stated all three missiles flew more than 600 miles, and KCNA reported the tests "this time" confirmed the "accuracy" and "flight safety" of the rockets. All three missiles are the midrange Rodong missiles, North Korea stated.

[DeutscheWelle] Islamist preacher Sven Lau's trial has begun in the regional court in Dusseldorf on charges of supporting a terror organization in Syria. The court will also debate on whether Lau himself can be branded a terrorist.
Lau's trial began Tuesday afternoon at the regional court in the western German city of Dusseldorf.
Judges have scheduled 30 trial days, with the entire trial to run until January 18, 2017.
The first day of the trial was broken off soon after the charges against the accused were read out, with proceedings postponed until next week.
The delay was ordered because Lau initially refused to respond to the charges, according to his lawyer.
Leading figure in Salafist scene
Prosecutors have accused the 35-year-old of supporting the terror group Jamwa, (roughly translated as an army of emigrants colonists and helpers),
..."Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar" (JMA), which Germany lists as a terrorist organization. They pledged allegiance to Al Nusra, except those splitters who pledged to ISIS. Herr Lau belongs to the ISIS bunch...
which is active in Syria. The Dusseldorf court's judges have also hinted that they could brand Lau a terrorist himself.
Complaints against Lau go back to the year 2013, when the Islamist preacher ferried two Salafists ...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them... from Germany to join the Jamwa in Syria. One of these men was an Islamist who had been sentenced to four and a half years in prison. Lau allegedly also gathered monetary support and supplied night vision aids to the terrorists.
The Islamist's lawyer, Mutlu Gunal has claimed his client is innocent, accusing the main witness of being a "notorious liar."
Widely regarded as a leading figure in the German Salafist scene, Lau is reported to have initiated the "Sharia police" in Wuppertal in Germany's western industrial Ruhr region. Together with his accomplices, all aged between 24 and 35, he patrolled the streets in September 2014 in an attempt to enforce a strict interpretation of Islam.
Wearing orange vests, emblazoned with the words "Shariah police," the defendants allegedly demanded people at nightclubs stop drinking alcohol and listening to music. The bearded fundamentalists were also observed calling for an end to gambling as they carried signs in English, declaring a "Sharia Controlled Zone."
[DeutscheWelle] The huge influx of refugees has taken its toll on the justice system.
Asylum-seekers almost always enter the country illegally, which means the public prosecutor inevitably has to start proceedings in every single case, even if they are dropped again just as inevitably. The result: 672,000 preliminary proceedings for illegal entry and other crimes from January 2015 to March 2016. Courts in Bavaria, the main entry point into Germany for most refugees, bore the brunt of these cases.
Nationwide, other courts are just as overtaxed: administrative courts are involved in the procedure to grant the right of asylum, while family courts are responsible for the many unaccompanied minors.
Trials take longer - at the expense of the citizens, since tasks are prioritized. There is much more pressure to shorten proceedings by "cutting deals, terminating proceedings and entering into pre-trial settlement negotiations," the DRB director said.
What's needed now, Rebehn said, is a political change of course. "As a first step, the states must fully comply with their obligations to the judiciary - 100 percent, not just 80 or 90 percent." If 2,000 extra judges and prosecutors were hired, "many of the current problems could be drastically resolved."
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s government is under "huge pressure" from its people to abandon its decades-old drive to join the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... because they see it applying double standards towards their country, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a forum in the Slovene mountain resort of Bled, Cavusoglu also warned that Europe could be heading towards instability and could succumb to extremism due to the strains of its twin economic and migration crises.
Cavusoglu also repeated his previous criticism of EU leaders for not showing sufficient solidarity with Turkey after a botched military coup in July in which President Tayyip Erdogan narrowly avoided capture and possible death.
"Turkish people see the double standard," Cavusoglu said. "We are under huge pressure to stop the negotiating process."
Ankara, which has been seeking EU membership for decades and began formal accession talks in 2005, has long accused the bloc of treating it differently to other candidate nations.
Some European politicians have spoken out against admitting Turkey, a large, mainly Moslem nation of nearly 80 million people that borders Iraq and Syria and has had a patchy record on democracy and human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... over the decades.
Relations have become especially strained after EU governments criticised the scale of Erdogan’s crackdown on those he accused of organising or backing the failed coup on July 15.

[DAWN] Army Chief General Raheel Sharif ..Pak chief of army staff, meaning he pulls the strings on the Nawaz Sharif puppet to make it dance and sing and not do much at all.... on Tuesday reiterated the military's resolve to not let the "sacrifices of deaders go to waste" and asserted that "the defence of Pakistain is invincible".
Just like the punishment of East Pakistan, back in the day. Do remind us, Chief General, what happened to those provinces?
Gen Raheel was addressing the ceremony held at General Headquarters to mark the country's Defence Day.
The army chief also paid tribute to people of the tribal area for the sacrifices they rendered, including leaving their generational abodes, for the sake of Pakistain.
General Raheel said that Pakistain will pursue for peace in Afghanistan with sincerity.
"It is also necessary for the elimination of terror to strengthen our laws," reiterated the army chief.
"I want to make it clear to all the enemies that the defence of Pakistain already strong but now it has become invincible," said the chief of army staff.
He added that North Wazoo had become a safe haven for terrorists, but the army has successfully achieved the goals of Zarb-e-Azb ..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)... .
"In the battle for our survival, we will take every step according to the teaching of Allah and His Prophet (PTUI!)."
"We know how to make friends, but we also know how to payback our enemies," maintained General Raheel. "There are elements which are trying to create misunderstandings."
He said that the military "will go to any length for the sake of national security".

Left unsaid: "The military "will go to any length for the sake of its senior officers' economic well-being to protect the opium trade from Afghanistan."
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] La Belle France said on Tuesday it was deploying artillery to Iraq and readying its aircraft carrier for deployment to reinforce foreign military support for the Iraqi army’s expected push to recapture djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the de facto capital of ISIS in Iraq.
The Iraqi army and its elite units have gradually taken up positions around the city 400 km (248 miles) north of Baghdad, with international coalition forces keen to capitalize on the holy warrior group’s loss of territory in both Iraq and Syria.
"We decided to bolster our support of the Iraqi forces this Autumn with the aim of recapturing Mosul," French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told a gathering of defense and military officials in Gay Paree.
"At this very moment, artillery is arriving close to the front line," Le Drian said, adding that the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier would soon leave for the Middle East.
French defense officials declined to give details on the nature of the artillery.
It was from Mosul’s Grand Mosque in 2014 that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdad declared a caliphate spanning regions of Iraq and Syria.

[Dhaka Tribune] US President Barack Obama If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon... cancelled his first meeting with Philippines counterpart Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday after the blunt-spoken Duterte described him as a "son of a bitch", casting a shadow over a gathering of Asian leaders in Laos.
Duterte, who has been roundly criticised abroad for a ’war on drugs’ that has killed about 2,400 people since he took office two months ago, said hours later that he regretted his comments "came across as a personal attack" on the US president.
"President Duterte explained that the press reports that President B.O. would ’lecture’ him on extrajudicial killings led to his strong comments, which in turn elicited concern," the Philippines government said.
"He regrets that his remarks to the press have caused much controversy," it added in a statement released at the summit in Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
The White House had earlier said Obama would not pull any punches on his concerns about human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... abuses in the Philippines, its treaty ally, when meeting Duterte.

Mr. Duterte has issues.
The Philippines does have a drug problem. Meth is flowing into the country. Most, if not all of it, is financed, produced and delivered by gangs with ties to China, particularly Chinese officials. The Philippines has serious law enforcement and border control deficiencies in dealing with it.
The Philippines also has the obvious problem with Chinese aggression, both territorial and its backing of insurgency in the Philippines. The Philippines has serious military and intel deficiencies in dealing with this as well.
