[RADIOSHABELLE] Somali prisoners serving various jail terms in Seychelles will be released December to serve the rest of their terms in Somali prisons, Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf Garaad had said.
In a statement from Seychelles, Garaad said among them is one prisoner who has completed his sentence in December.
"One of the convicted prisoners who completed his imprisonment term will be released in December 2017. The others prisoners have some years to go and the Seychelles authorities are ready to hand them over to the government of Somalia in December 2017," said Garaad.
The prisoners, 15 in total were tossed in the slammer Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! off the coast of Somalia on piracy charges and sentenced in Seychelles.
The minister noted he also visited the six suspected pirates arrested last week by EU naval mission in southern Somalia basin. The mission said the suspected pirated fire at a container ship before they were arrested.
"During the incidents a number of rocket propelled grenades were fired against the container ship," EU NAVFOR said. "The suspected pirates were apprehended by the Italian Marines from ITS Virginio Fasan after their vessels were located using Fasan’s SH-90 helicopter, following initial searches by the Spanish Maritime Patrol Aircraft Cisne."

[AnNahar] The button men who massacred more than 300 worshipers in an Egyptian mosque made no effort to conceal their identity -- they showed up raising the black banner of the self-styled "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.... ", authorities and witnesses said.
IS supporters on social media were livid when a purported audio recording of wireless communications between an IS member boasting about the attack, and another noting down details, spread on pro-Qaeda Telegram channels.
The group's murderous Moslems had previously warned the North Sinai mosque associated with Sufis to end the mystical practices IS calls heretical, even visiting the mosque in person a few weeks before the attack, a Sufi sheikh said.

This was a military action by asstards with Daesh flags.
Do you think this who-dunnit will continue?
Show them videos of Daesh in Syria, Iraq too - not only Sinai. Show them videos we all watched as they consumed the Yazidi?
They are GODLESS.
Make that known and stop being thugs with the Bedouin and Christian.

Everyone belongs to God, newc, even unto ISIS. But it is important to remember that Sufism is not a mystical, gentle, and loving form of Islam that rejects jihad and dhimmitude, but rather a mystical form of Islam that has historically demanded jihad and abuse of dhimmis just like the rest of the religion. This Andrew Bostum essay from 2005 lays out in detail how harsh Sufis have been across the breadth and history of Islam.

More like a trickle compared to the rest of you, dear Skidmark. But I came across that piece many years ago, and it struck me as important as histories laying out how ungolden for the dhimmis was Spain’s Muslim “Gooden Age”, so I saved the link. Both the peaceful mysticism of the Sufis and the magnanimous behaviour of the conquerers of Spain are frequently and wrongly held up as reasons not to fuss about the current colonization — and both are dangerously wrong.
[ARABNEWS] Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has given the army and the Interior Ministry three months to restore security in the Sinai Peninsula with freedom to use "all brute force."
This comes a week after 311 Egyptian worshippers were killed and 128 others injured in a terrorist attack on a mosque in North Sinai during Friday prayers; it was the deadliest terror attack in Egypt’s modern history.
El-Sisi has promised massive development for the Bir al-Abd area in North Sinai where the attack took place. "We will make Bir al-Abd a city that is referred to as a model of prosperity and development; we can never allow anyone to do such a thing again to our people," El-Sisi said on Wednesday morning.
El-Sisi issued his orders in public, addressing the Army Chief of Staff, Mohammed Farid Hegazy, who led the military salute to the president.
The Egyptian president repeated the phrase "brute force" in what appeared to be a response to criticism in a number of foreign newspapers and on social networking sites after the phrase was used last Friday to describe the response to any future terrorist acts.
The uproar prompted presidential front man Bassam Radhi to explain that what El-Sisi meant by "brute force" was "the ferocious force that mercilessly oppresses the aggressor, pursues the terrorists, and kills them all."
Radhi said on Saturday that the incident underscored the despair of the forces of extremism and revealed their ugly face. "The more their strength weakens, the more they want to inflict greater losses because they have been completely routed."
He stressed that Egypt would avenge the victims of the mosque attack and that the perpetrators of the atrocity would not escape punishment.
No group has grabbed credit for the al-Rawdah mosque attack in Bir al-Abd. The Egyptian public prosecutor’s office, however, said that gunnies carrying flags of ISIS opened fire on worshippers inside the mosque and on those who tried to escape after an bombexploded.

[Al Jazeera] A former Egyptian prime minister says he is not being allowed to leave the United Arab Emirates, the country where he has resided since 2012 after losing the Egyptian elections to Mohammed Morsi.
The reason for his travel ban is unknown, Ahmed Shafiq said in an exclusive video statement to Al Jazeera on Wednesday.
"I was surprised to know that I am prevented from leaving the UAE for reasons that I don’t understand and I am not willing to understand," he said.
Earlier in the day, Shafiq had announced that he intended to run in the 2018 presidential elections against current President Abdel Fateh el-Sisi.
Shafiq, who also participated in the 2012 Egyptian elections, said he wanted to head back to Egypt in the coming days.

[PRESSTV] The White House is defending 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 anti-Islam retweets, which have drawn rebuke in the UK, reviving calls for revoking his planned visit to Britannia.
The widely condemned retweets of videos, posted by leader of the far-right organization Britannia First Jayda Fransen, purportedly showed violence committed by Moslems.
"@realDonaldTrump you are not welcome in my country and my city," said Labour Party politician David Lammy in a tweet on Wednesday, while another Labour politician, Chuka Umunna, said directly that Trump's invitation to visit Britannia "should be withdrawn."
The office of British Prime Minister Theresa May also described Trump’s move as "wrong" but announced that the visit is not cancelled.
"British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right, which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents ‐ decency, tolerance and respect," read a statement by May’s office. "It is wrong for the president to have done this."

was dramatically arrested on Monday and charged with trying to obtain a semi-automatic rifle to gun down revellers in Melbourne's Federation Square.
Ali, 20, was reportedly targeted by ASIO because of his links to a radicalised 15-year-old boy who killed Curtis Cheng.
He was well-connected to Australian jihadist circles including multiple other terror suspects and bad boy preacher Junaid Thorne.
Ali was also friends with Farhad Jabar, 15, who rubbed out NSW police accountant Curtis Cheng outside the police centre in Parramatta in 2015.
He once boasted to a group of Islamic gunnies about how he had refused to speak to ASIO agents who offered him money for information about his links to Jabar.
Ali claimed agents offered him $200 for every tip he gave them about bad boy activity in his community, but he refused to dob in Moslems because it was 'haram'.
'I know their tricks and whatever you say to them they will use as evidence against you,' Ali said.
'They start to get to the real questions, like who are your friends with, what do you think about ISIS, what are your thoughts about those groups.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to tell the 28 EU Foreign Minister at a meeting next month in Brussels that they should ask their people whether they want all that Israel has to offer ‐ anti-terror expertise and technology ‐ or Ramallah.
Netanyahu, who over the last year has raised with every visiting EU foreign minister his desire to address all 28 foreign ministers at one of their monthly meetings, received a formal invitation on Tuesday to do just that.
According to a senior diplomatic official, Netanyahu is expected to tell the European leaders that their obsessive focus on the settlements is "ridiculous," remind them that the Arab-Israeli conflict predated the settlements by 50 years, and say that 85 percent of the settlements are in the settlement blocks that "everyone knows will be part of Israel."
In addition, the official said, he will go on record saying that "we in Israel are the future, we will bring you water, technology and security against terrorists ‐ we have blocked 30 to 40 major attacks in Europe. You ask your people whether they would rather have that, or Ramallah." The People may want a lot of things, but the leaders want Israel gone - it's a bad example to their people, showing that Islam can be resisted.
The deliberate trade of operational effectiveness for ideological purity continues.
[AnNahar] Ottoman Turkish police have launched raids in 49 cities to detain over 300 soldiers accused of links to the group blamed for last year's attempted coup, state media reported Wednesday.

[ARABNEWS] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s top security body, the National Security Council (MGK), on Tuesday recommended that the government deploy forces around Syria’s Kurdish-held Afrin canton and in western Aleppo.
The MGK emphasized Turkey’s determination to secure its borders against terrorist groups. Afrin is controlled by the US-backed Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), which Ankara views as the Syrian affiliate of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
On Monday, Ottoman Turkish Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli hinted at a possible operation in Afrin, saying such an operation "may be tomorrow or... sooner than tomorrow."
Last week, he said the PKK/YPG presence in Afrin poses a "serious danger and threat that should be removed in line with Turkey’s rights arising from international law."
The Ottoman Turkish military recently completed the formation of its third observation post in Syria’s northwest Idlib province, as part of a cease-fire co-guaranteed with Russia and Iran.
Earlier this month, Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... said his country needed to clear Afrin of the YPG after accomplishing its military operation in Idlib.
But Serhat Erkmen, a Middle East expert at the Ankara-based 21st Century Turkey Institute, told Arab News: "Following the agreement reached in Sochi last week between Moscow, Tehran and Ankara, a comprehensive military operation that would escalate regional tension is unlikely."

In time for Christmas chilled monkey brains and cranberry pork stuffing for your turkey!
[DAWN] The government on Monday gave in to the demands of Tehreek-i-Labaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLY) in order to end the Faizabad sit-in.
The agreement document — bearing signatures of Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal, TLY chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi, and Maj Gen Faiz Hameed, among others — lists the following demands put forward by TLY:
Remove Federal Law Minister Zahid Hamid from his position immediately. "Tehreek-i-Labaik will issue no fatwa [religious decree] of any kind against him."
The report prepared by Raja Zafarul Haq-led committee will be made public within 30 days and whoever is named in the report for being responsible for the change in the election oath will be acted against under the law.
All protesters arrested between November 6 until the end of the sit-in from across the country will be released within one to three days according to legal requirements. The cases registered against them and the house arrests imposed on them will be ended.
An inquiry board will be established to probe and decide what action to take against the government and administration officials over the operation conducted by security forces against protesters on Saturday, November 25. The inquiry should be completed within 30 days and action will be taken against those found responsible.
The federal and provincial governments will determine and compensate for the loss of government and private assets incurred from November 6 until the end of the sit-in.
The points already agreed to concerning the Government of Punjab will be fully implemented.
The document ends by crediting Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and his representative team for their "special efforts" that led to the agreement being signed.
"We are thankful to him [Gen Bajwa] for saving the nation from a big catastrophe," the document concludes.
The agreement was also produced before the Islamabad High Court on Monday. Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, raising a number of "alarming objections", asked the government to satisfy the court on the "role of armed forces as an arbitrator" in the agreement with the protesters.
'More demands have been accepted'
According to Rizvi, in addition to the demands mentioned on the document, the following conditions of TLY have also been accepted by the government:
A board of clerics led by Pir Muhammad Afzal Qadri will be set up to probe remarks made by Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah against the persecution of Ahmedis. Sanaullah will have to accept the decision made by the board.
No difficulty will be faced in registering cases under clause 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code (blasphemy law).
No leniency will be given to those convicted by courts for blasphemy.
No ban will be imposed on the use of loudspeakers.
The foreign and interior ministries will take steps for the release of Dr Aafia Siddiqui after taking her mother and sister in confidence.
The holiday of Iqbal Day on November 9 will be revived.
Two representatives of Tehreek-i-Labaik will be included in the panel assigned to decide changes in the textbook board. The officials will push for inclusion of translation of the Holy Quran and chapters about Seerat-un-Nabi (PBUH) and Muslim leaders.
The chehlum of martyrs will be held on January 4 at Rawalpindi's Liaquat Bagh.
Every year, November 25 will be observed as "Martyrs of Prophet's honour day".
There has been no official confirmation or denial of agreeing to these demands from the government's side as yet.

[IsraelTimes] Fatah and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", announce postponement of key step in reconciliation until December 10, amid mutual recriminations.
Rival Paleostinian factions agreed Wednesday to postpone the handover of control over Gazoo from Hamas to Fatah, less than 48 hours before a deadline as part of an Egyptian-brokered reconciliation deal.
The announcement came at the last minute as the landmark Paleostinian unity deal faltered dangerously, with Fatah and Hamas accusing each other of not respecting the accord.
"Hamas and Fatah are asking Egypt to postpone the transfer of the government roles from December 1 to December 10 in order to finalize arrangements to ensure the completion of national reconciliation steps," said a statement from Hamas, the Islamist terror group that rules the Gazoo Strip.
Fayez Abu Eita, a front man for Fatah in Gazoo, said the same in remarks after the factions met in Gazoo City, noting it was in the interest of "achieving the goals of our people, achieving reconciliation and ending the division."
In previous days the two sides had traded accusations of failing to respect the October 12 agreement which was supposed to see Hamas hand over all governing duties in the enclave to the Fatah-dominated Paleostinian Authority by December 1.
Sharp disagreements remained between Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ’s Fatah, based in the West Bank, and Hamas, particularly over the fate of public employees in Gazoo and security control of the enclave.
Earlier on Wednesday, Fatah’s top negotiator, Azzam al-Ahmad, told AFP that Hamas was "not committed to the agreement it signed in Cairo."
"Until this moment, the problems and obstacles from Hamas are still there and are increasing," he said.
In response, senior Hamas official Bassem Naim accused Fatah of "maneuvers" to avoid going through with the deal.
Multiple previous reconciliation attempts have failed since Hamas seized control of Gazoo from Fatah in a violent coup in 2007.
Also Wednesday, in another sign of tension ahead of the deadline, PA employees were prevented by union delegates close to Hamas from returning to work at a number of ministries in the Gazoo Strip.
Fatah and Hamas traded accusations over the incident.
As tensions built, Abbas ordered an immediate stop to public statements on reconciliation "for the sake of the Paleostinian national interest and our relationship with our Egyptian brothers," official news agency WAFA said.
[IsraelTimes] Pilot program providing shuttle service for Gazooks to US Consulate in Jerusalem suffers setback on first day
Israel on Wednesday launched a program to provide shuttle service for Gazooks who need to travel to the US Consulate in Jerusalem ‐ an operation that could ease one of the many restrictions it places on Paleostinians who want to exit the blockaded territory.
Israel allows only a small number of Gazooks to travel through Israel, mostly for medical care or other humanitarian grounds. It cites security considerations for the tight restrictions.
In recent months, it has barred Gazooks from entering Israel for visa interviews at the US Consulate after some applicants fled into hiding in Israel or the West Bank to seek work. The restrictions have prevented several hundred people from applying at the consulate for visas to travel or study in the US.
About 100 Paleostinians were allowed Wednesday to cross into Israel and board two buses bound for Jerusalem. They were accompanied by officials from the Paleostinian Civil Affairs Committee, an office that coordinates cross-border movement with the Israelis.
Ahmed Ouda, who went to the interview with his wife and teenage son, came home disappointed. Hoping to visit his brother, a US citizen who lives in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Ouda said the entire family, including younger children who remained behind in Gazoo, were turned down for visas after his interview.
"We spent 12 hours, mostly without access to water and services, and we were rejected at the end," he said. "It’s an exhausting process; thank God my young children did not need to come and experience it."
Mohammed al-Maqadma, front man for the civil affairs committee, said Israel is expected to run similar shuttles in the future, though no schedule has been set.
"It could be two days a month, one day every two months," he said. "I think this is part of the Israeli policies that we don’t know their goals."
Wednesday’s pilot program suffered a setback on its first day, however, with the apparent disappearance of two Gazooks. Travelers on the shuttle said one man fled into a taxi at the border crossing, while a second person did not return on the bus. The travelers requested anonymity, fearing trouble with Israeli authorities.
COGAT, the Israeli defense agency that coordinates cross-border movement, said Wednesday’s shuttle came after months of work with both the American Consulate and Paleostinian officials. It said the program, meant to balance the needs of Paleostinian civilians with Israeli security concerns, would continue.
"In the near future, additional shuttles will be scheduled on dates to be determined by the American Consulate in coordination" with Israel, it said.
A US State Department official said, "We seek to facilitate travel to the United States for all legitimate and bona fide travelers, including residents of Gazoo." The official, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... under department regulations, referred questions about exit permits to Israel.
The State Department requires people to schedule visa appointments online. The website advises Gazooks to schedule an appointment over 60 days in advance to allow time to apply for a permit from Israel. It says the shuttle will take applicants directly to the consulate for their interviews.
The application process is arduous, requiring an Israeli security check and sometimes an interview with Israeli security agents. Israel says the checks are needed because Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", tries to exploit the system to smuggle cash or goods across the border.
The new system is a far cry from a previous arrangement in which Israel granted Gazooks full one-day permits, allowing them to go on their own. People would take advantage of the coveted permit to visit the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, but in some cases, they went into hiding while searching for work. Gazoo’s unemployment rate is well over 40 percent.
The new mechanism will strain the liaison committee staff who will accompany the interviewees back and forth, according to al-Maqadma. Over 400 applicants are still waiting for their permits to be cleared.
No Jordan River project until an Israeli ambassador is in residence, but y’all keep posturing, guys.
[ARABNEWS] Jordanians have rejected Israel’s attempt to improve relations with their country by changing its ambassador and paying compensation for the killing in July of two Jordanians at the Israeli Embassy in Amman.
Israeli media reported Wednesday that Israel has agreed to send a different ambassador to Amman than Einat Schlein, who left Jordan hurriedly in July with the Israeli security guard who killed the Jordanians.
"Jordan made two clear demands: That the security guard is seriously questioned and put on trial, and that Schlein not return," Jordanian MP Nabil Gheishan told Arab News.
Gheishan comes from the town of Madaba, as did Bashar Hamarneh, an elderly doctor who was killed at the embassy.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army’s elite Tiger Forces division will be redeployed to the northern countryside of the Hama Governorate once they complete their operation in southeast Deir Ezzor, a military source told al-Masdar News this evening.
According to the source, the Tiger Forces will specifically be deployed to the Abu Dali axis in northern Hama, where they will head the operation to enter the southeastern part of the Idlib Governorate.
With the 3rd and 5th legions already pushing towards the Abu Dhuhour Military Airport from the southern Aleppo axis, the Tiger Forces should be able to help speed up this assault with a major assault from the Abu Dali axis.
Abu Dali is an important town in northern Hama that was captured by the al-Qaeda linked Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group in late September of this year.
