[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A top leader of 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.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group in Afghanistan has declared his opposition regarding the appointment of a Pak national, Sheikh Aslam Farooqi, as the new leader of the terror group in Afghanistan.
He has called the appointment of Farooqi as an attempt by the Pak military intelligence, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).
"Even if this information is true, then it’s the ISI of Pakistain behind this function and we don’t accept it, because we all fight for Allah and his religion," the ISIS leader Moawiya Uzbekistani has said in a letter which has been obtained by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
He has also warned regarding against "infidels, intelligence services and the deceitful" acting from "behind the scenes."
The rift among the ISIS leaders in Afghanistan has reportedly widened after a meeting was organized in Orakzai Agency ... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers... of Pakistain which was attended by 40 senior ISIS leaders, informed sources have told the paper.
The Afghan government confirmed last month that head of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group’s offshoot in Afghanistan was killed during an operation in eastern Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province of Afghanistan.
The Office of the President, ARG Palace, in a statement said the leader of ISIS Khurasan Abdul Hasib was killed during an operation of the Afghan Special Forces in Nangarhar province.
Hasib was the main criminal mastermind and had ordered the deadly attack on Kabul’s main military hospital, Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan hospital, the statement added.

ISIS and the ISI are not exactly kindred souls but someday the Afghans will be minus the American presence and Pakistain may need something in the bag to stall India and its efforts to put their own stamp on the future with pressure for Paki from two sides.
And besides directorate S in ISI likes ISIS way of doing things.
![PJ] ISIS vowed that the Manchester attack is a harbinger of what's to come as Islamic State territory falls in Iraq and Syria and the terror group continues to "shift its focus towards carrying out attacks on Crusader soil."
The terror group didn't publish any new attack tactic tips in today's new issue of their Rumiyah magazine, but teased to a special forthcoming publication about how their followers should observe the last 10 days of Ramadan, which ends the evening of June 24.
"Just one week before the blessed month of Ramadan, the world’s attention was focused on the British city of Manchester. A soldier of the Khilafah had carried out a Just Terror operation, striking Manchester Arena at the conclusion of a concert by an American singer," said the foreword of the magazine, which was distributed in several languages online; "Just Terror" is the ISIS name for lone jihadist operations.
"The explosion rocked the city and filled its residents with terror as many of them scrambled to try to contact their loved ones and ensure that they were safe. Then, the casualty figures started emerging: More than 20 had been killed and dozens more had been wounded. The total would later climb to nearly 100 dead and wounded," the article continued. "In the wake of the bombing, the panic-ridden friends and relatives took to social media to enlist the help of strangers in the search for their loved ones, local pubs began offering free booze to emergency personnel in need of clearing their minds of the traumatic scenes they had witnessed, British 'Muslims' came out and offered their token denunciations out of fear of retaliation, massive numbers of police and military personnel were deployed on the streets, the UK threat level was raised to 'Critical,' politicians brought their campaigning for the upcoming general elections to a halt, the distraught and 'broken' American singer placed her European tour on hold and went home, and the Chelsea FC football team cancelled their victory parade in London."
And the next attack was handled so efficiently that football fans fought knife-wielding Lions of Islam to a standstill, tourists attacked them with skateboards, and the police shot them dead eight minutes after they started their bloody work. Oh, and Mayor Khan's veiled soft jihad of the law was brusquely unveiled, which will make things more interesting for him going forward.

'No go' areas and the Parallel Government:
In military terms, this establishment of a parallel government, is called establishing a “Competitive system of control”.
Lt. Col. David Kilcullen, the world renowned expert on modern insurgencies and counter insurgencies, talks extensively about this in his book, “Out of the Mountains: The Coming Age of the Urban Guerrilla”.
In fact it is the central theme of his book and what he reckons is the key to the success of an insurgency as well as how to fight the insurgency.
Kilcullen is of the opinion, backed up by extensive research and experience, that in the old days people were more rural and therefore you found insurgents in the mountains, jungles and bush, but times are changing fast and people are urbanizing into Littoral Zones (areas by the sea) so insurgencies will be fought there in the future…Cape Town is a perfect example.
Kilcullen also mentions various other examples of the criminal, mafia like theory of competitive control that one sees in all insurgencies, but also in townships and communities all over the world…from the “Dons” in the Jamaican Garrison districts to the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
[IsraelTimes] Racist incidents targeting Moslems jump from 3.5 per day on average to 20 on Tuesday alone.
Anti-Moslem crimes in the British capital have increased five-fold since the London Bridge terror attack, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Wednesday, warning that police would take a "zero-tolerance approach."
"Provisional statistics for 6 June show a 40 percent increase in racist incidents, compared to the daily average this year, and a five-fold increase in the number of Islamophobic incidents," the mayor’s office said in a statement.
It said 54 racist incidents were recorded on Tuesday, compared to a daily average of 38 so far in 2017.
Twenty of them were anti-Moslem incidents, well above the 2017 daily average of 3.5.
"This is the highest daily level of Islamophobic incidents in 2017 to date," the statement said, adding it was higher than levels reached after the November 2015 attacks in Gay Paree in which 130 people were killed.
On his Facebook page, Khan called on Londoners "to pull together, and send a clear message around the world that our city will never be divided by these hideous individuals who seek to harm us and destroy our way of life."
He also warned that "just as the police will do everything possible to root out extremism from our city, so we will take a zero-tolerance approach to hate crime."
About those three Muslim girls who beat up a nursery school assistant yesterday while chanting "Allah, Allah," milord Mayor -- is that attack included in your statistics?

So you Muslims killed 30+ of them, and responded with a few incidents (mostly imaginary) - in which none of you actually got hurt. Must be your version of Haven, Sadiq.
[FriaTider] It was the award-winning SR journalist Farid Ikken, 40, who was shot by police on Tuesday after attacking a policeman with a hammer in Paris, Free Times can reveal today. As a journalist in Sweden, Iken received the EU Commission's journalist award for a crash report on illegal immigrants.
The iken, who came from Algeria, came to France in 2014. Before that he had lived for several years in Sweden, where he took his master's degree and also freed for several Swedish media in 2009 and 2010. It states 40-year-old supervisor, Professor Arnaud Mercier At Université Panthéon-Assas, in an interview with French LCI.
- He worked as a journalist in Stockholm and Algeria, says Mercier to the TV channel.
A person who called himself "Massip Farid Ikken" and claimed to be berber from Algeria worked during the current period as a journalist on, among others, Sweden's Radio, UNT and the contributed-financed magazine magazine Fria Tidningen.
In 2009 , he won "The EU Commission's National Journalist Prize Against Discrimination" for an article on illegal immigrants in the People in Bild.
"Massip Farid's article deals with asylum seekers who are not entitled to medical care and who are therefore forced to seek medical care, as well as the healthcare staff and others who still provide healthcare to asylum seekers," the European Commission wrote in the statement.
According to information in the French media, Farid Ikken is married to a Swedish woman.

A man who attacked a policeman with a hammer outside Notre Dame cathedral in Gay Paree had pledged allegiance to 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 in a video, it emerged Wednesday.
The video in which the man pledges allegiance to IS was found by police who searched the apartment he was renting in Cergy outside the French capital, the source said.
Documents found on the attacker identified him as a 40-year-old Algerian student doing a doctorate on the media at a university in eastern La Belle France.
The suspect's thesis director at the University of Lorraine, where he enrolled in 2014, said he had showed "no outward sign of an excessive adherence to Islam."
"When I knew him, he had a pro-Western, pro-democratic outlook," Arnaud Mercier, who said he had not heard from the suspect since November, told the French television channel BFMTV.

He had no criminal record, but had regularly expressed his interest in jihad on the Internet, and had covered terrorism while working for various news outlets in his native Algeria.
[Iran Press TV] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's parliament approves a measure to deploy troops to a Turkish military base in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... amid a widening rift between the Arab country and neighbors in the Persian Gulf region. Brother Moslem Brotherhood states...
The parliament approved the deployment on Wednesday with 240 politicians in favor, most of them from the ruling party of President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... The deployment had been drafted before a spat surfaced between Qatar and three main allies in the Persian Gulf, namely 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... , the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. The three countries, plus Egypt and the Maldives, have cut ties with Doha over what they call Qatar’s support for terrorism. Qatar has denied the allegation.
However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... the debate on the legislation was moved up the agenda of the Turkish parliament while a separate bill was introduced to the chamber on increased military cooperation between Turkey and Qatar.
Turkey, which initially moved to mediate between the Arab countries, has declared its support for Qatar, rejecting claims that the country is financing terrorism.
Erdogan said on Tuesday that Qatar was a leading force in the regional fight against terror and criticized others for pursuing the policy of isolating the oil-rich country. He even hailed Qatar for a "cool-headed and constructive" stance in dealing with regional issues.
The vote in the Turkish parliament on Wednesday would be a fresh sign that Turkey is supporting Qatar in the dispute with the Saudis and allies.
Erdogan and other Turkish officials have said that they will continue efforts to resolve the dispute.
The agreement does not contain any specific number of troops to be stationed in the base, or when.
Turkish ambassador to Qatar Ahmet Demirok told AFP last year the base would eventually be home to up to 3,000 troops or possibly more "depending on the needs."

[AnNahar] The head of Amnesia Amnesty International in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... was placed in durance vile Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! Tuesday over suspected links to the movement of holy manFethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... , whom Ankara blames for last year's failed coup, the human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... organization said.
Police arrested lawyer Taner Kilic along with 22 others in the western city of Izmir, all on suspicion of ties to the US-based Moslemholy man's movement, according to a statement on Amnesty's website.
"We are calling on the Turkish authorities to immediately release Taner Kilic along with the other 22 lawyers, and drop all charges against them," Amnesia Amnesty International's secretary general Salil Shetty said.
"Taner Kilic has a long and distinguished record of defending exactly the kind of freedoms that the Turkish authorities are now intent on trampling," he said.
The arrests proved how "arbitrary" Ankara's post-coup crackdown had become, Shetty added.
The organization said it did not believe Kilic's arrest was connected to his work for Amnesia Amnesty International, which he has directed in the country since 2014.

[DW] The announcement comes after US President Donald Trump demanded other NATO countries increase military spending. While the US and NATO welcomed the budget increase, it will still be short of the desired goal.
Canadian Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan announced Wednesday that the country's military spending would increase by 70 percent over the next decade.
Sajjan said the increased spending would create "a Canada that is strong at home, secure in North America and engaged in the world."
The plan envisages raising military spending to 1.4 percent of GDP in 10 years.
The plan envisages raising military spending to 1.4 percent of GDP in 10 years.
Golly. Still, their version of the National Health Service doesn't come cheap, and oil prices have fallen sharply since their peak. Savings must be found somewhere.
Canada currently spends 18.9 billion Canadian dollars ($14 billion, 12.4 billion euros) on military spending, but that amount would increase to 32.7 billion Canadian dollars by 2026.
The announcement comes less than two weeks after US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... demanded fellow 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... nations increase their defensive spending. The US accounts for more than 70 percent of NATO military spending. Only the UK, Estonia, Greece and Poland currently meet the NATO goal of spending at least 2 percent of their GDP on defense.
"If we're serious about our role in the world, we must be serious about funding our military. And we are," said Sajjan.
Ottawa's announcement was well received in the US.
[Fox5Vegas] Being a tourist destination can be great for the economy, but it's also a big responsibility for the Metro police.
Safety is one reason the department said it came to the Clark County Commissioners to ask for bollards to be installed on the sidewalk of Las Vegas Boulevard.
"In the last 12 months, there have been a total of eight incidents around the world," Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said. "All have used vehicles."
Police said gunnies have used cars as weapons of mass destruction.
Officials identified six key areas on the strip that are highly crowded and do not have any separation between the street and the pedestrian walkway. Clark County Commissioners directed staff to purchase and install bollards on the sidewalk.

[DAWN] The Supreme Court on Wednesday exonerated a blasphemy accused facing life imprisonment on allegations of desecrating the Holy Koran.
A three-member bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and comprising Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Qazi Faez Isa issued the order after hearing the prosecution and defendant's lawyer.
The defendant's lawyer told the court that her client had been accused of burning pages of the holy book.
The lawyer also informed the bench that the defendant was a drug addict residing in Multan in 2006, when the incident allegedly took place.
The counsel explained that police had found no trace of burnt pages of the Holy Koran at the site of the incident.
The lawyer also argued that while the incident allegedly took place inside the accused's house, the accused had unlawfully been booked under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, besides Sections 342 and 395-B of the Pakistain Penal Code (PPC).
After examining the record and hearing the defendant's arguments, the court ruled that the prosecution's version, prima facie, appeared to be false.
It noted that the complainant may even have brought previously burnt pages of the Holy Koran to the accused's house in a bid to influence the case.
Police itself did not collect evidence from the site, the court observed, adding that a matchbox was instead provided to the police by the complainant. The prosecution did not check whether the matchbox was new or used, the court said.
The apex court also stated that the lower courts appeared to have not conducted a fair trial of the case.
"Why were sections pertaining to terrorism added [to the charges against the accused]"? the bench wondered.
The court subsequently issued the order to absolve the defendant of all charges, citing a lack of substantial and credible evidence.

[Iran Press TV] Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says those who have aided and abetted the ISIS terror group are accomplices in twin attacks claimed by the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group in the Iranian capital.
In a Wednesday statement, the IRGC condemned the twin terror attacks in Tehran and blamed sponsors of the Takfiri group for the attacks.
The IRGC said the fact that the terrorist attacks were carried out by ISIS just days after US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's meeting with "the rulers of a regional reactionary regime," which has been supporting Takfiri terrorists, indicates that "they have a hand in the bestial attacks."
The IRGC said it would retaliate for innocent bloodshed in the attacks and pledged to strongly safeguard the country’s national security.
Earlier on Wednesday, gunnies stormed Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) and the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Theocratic Republic Imam Khomeini in two coordinated attacks.
Twelve people were killed and over 40 others maimed in the assaults.
Separately, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the IRGC's second-in-command, vowed that the IRGC would avenge the attacks.
"We will remain steadfast in fighting murderous Moslems and we will surely take Dire Revenge on terrorists, their affiliates and their supporters for the blood of the deaders of today’s two terrorist attacks," Salami said.
After the attacks ended, the Interior Ministry issued a statement, elaborating on the terror incidents. According to the statement, the first terror group, comprised of two people, entered the mausoleum at around 10:30 a.m. local time (0600 GMT). The first terrorist blew up his explosives, but the second was killed during firefight with security forces.
Concurrently with the attack at the mausoleum, the second terror team made up of four murderous Moslems sought to enter the administrative building of the parliament but were confronted by security forces, the statement said.
The ministry added that one terrorist blew his explosives up while the three others were killed in shootouts during festivities with security forces as they were seeking to reach upper floors of the parliament building.

[Iran Press TV] US Senator Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... has urged the Senate to delay voting on an anti-Iran sanctions bill to protect the 2015 nuclear deal and show solidarity with Iranians in the wake of Wednesday's terror attacks in Tehran.
Senators were preparing to vote for a bill that introduces more sanctions against Iran over its development of ballistic missiles for defensive purposes.
Speaking on Senate floor, Sanders advised politicians against extending sanctions against Iran while the Islamic Theocratic Republic mourned the victims of two terror attacks that killed 12 people and injured dozens more in the capital Tehran earlier.
"Let us be aware and cognizant that earlier today the people of Iran suffered a horrific terror attack in their capital Tehran, in which 12 people were killed and many more were maimed," the Vermont senator told his colleagues, referring to two terror attacks at Iran’s parliament and Imam Khomeini’s Mausoleum.
"In a time when tensions are extremely high in that part of the world, our goal must be to find ways to bring people together to reduce tensions rather than to exacerbate this very painful and dangerous situation," Sanders said.

[Iran Press TV] Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution ...Iran's doddering head theocrat... Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ...the successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the actual dictator of Iran... says Wednesday’s terror attacks in Tehran will fail to undermine the Iranian nation's resolve in the face of threats.
"The Iranian nation is moving forward. These fireworks that happened today will have no impact on the people’s resolve. They are too weak to affect the will of the land of the Medes and the Persians and that of the officials," the Leader said in a meeting with university students in Tehran on Wednesday, several hours after two ISIS terrorist attacks were carried out in the capital.
The Leader said had Iran not stood against the hotspot of terrorism in the region, the country would have faced more severe problems.
Ayatollah Khamenei also expressed optimism that bandidosforces of Evil "will be uprooted, God willing."

So they're going to expel all the Muslims from Iran?
[IsraelTimes] IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot says that up to 25 percent of Hezbollah fighters have been killed fighting in Syria and Iraq in the last three years.
Eisenkot says 1,700 murderous Moslems of the Leb-based terrorist group’s total of 7,000 fighters have been killed, calling the high number a "severe blow" to the organization.
[IsraelTimes] Day after US bombs pro-Assad troops approaching opposition groups, Lebanese terror group says it can strike at any time.
The Syrian government’s allies will strike at American positions inside Syria if it crosses any "red lines," Hezbollah warned on Wednesday. Hezbollah’s military media said it was only "self-restraint" keeping pro-government forces from attacking American units.
The Lebanese terror group, a close ally of the Syrian government, issued the threat via its military media arm one day after American forces bombed pro-government forces in eastern Syria.
The Pentagon said Tuesday the pro-government forces were infringing on a "de-confliction" zone established to protect US-backed local opposition forces, who are engaged in fighting 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.
On its TV station al-Manar, Hezbollah broadcast footage it said was of an Iranian drone tailing an American one over eastern Syria. It said the video was proof the Syrian government’s backers could strike American units at will.
The threat marks an escalation of tensions between the United States and the Syrian government and its backers over control of Syria's southeastern frontier with Iraq, where Washington has been training Syrian rebels at a base inside Syrian territory as part of its campaign against Islamic State murderous Moslems .
The area is seen as crucial to Assad's Iranian allies and could open an overland supply route from Tehran to Iraq, Syria and Leb - the "Shia crescent" of Iranian influence that is a major concern to U.S.-allies in the region.
[Ynet] The al-Manar TV releases a video showing an American Predator drone flying over Syria, with an Iranian aircraft following it undetected; 'we can hit it at any moment, but we feel sorry for it'
The Hezbollah affiliated al-Manar Lebanese television network has published a video showing an American drone in the skies of southeastern Syria--with an Iranian aircraft tracking it.
The grainy film showed what looked like a Predator drone, a type the US military uses for reconnaissance and attack missions, flying high above unidentifiable territory.
The video apparently features an Iranian source speaking in Farsi and following an American UAV on his screen.
"This is an American airplane observed by our aircraft and we can hit it at any moment, but we feel sorry for it," he said. "Our aircraft is following him right now, we can strike it and he cannot see us."
It is not clear when the video was filmed, and its authenticity could not be verified.
The footage emerged as tensions grow between Washington and the military alliance that backs the Syrian government, including Iranian-backed forces such as Hezbollah.
The alliance threatened on Wednesday to hit US positions in Syria, in response to a US strike on Tuesday against what Washington said were pro-government forces.
