A person born in the United States to a foreign diplomatic officer accredited to the United States is not subject to the jurisdiction of United States law. Therefore, that person cannot be considered a U.S. citizen at birth under the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. This person may, however, be considered a permanent resident at birth and able to receive a Green Card through creation of record.
To determine whether your parent is a foreign diplomatic officer, your parent’s accredited title must be listed in the State Department Diplomatic List, also known as the Blue List. This list includes:
Ambassadors
Ministers
Charges d’affaires
Counselors
Secretaries and attaches of embassies and legations
Members of the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities
It also includes those with comparable diplomatic status and immunities assigned to the United Nations or to the Organization of American States and other persons who have comparable diplomatic status.

[ToloNews] Officials of the Directorate of Prisons Affairs said Tuesday that more than twelve thousand people are imprisoned across the country. Prob can't count'em here.
Attending a ceremony to introduce the new uniform for military personnel, officials said that that there are 2000 to 2,500 prisoners in Pole-e-Charkhi prison.
They were arrested and imprisoned for various crimes, said officials.
"In all prisons, there is no place for torture, and you will not find even a case that a prisoner is being tortured, said Mohammad Yusuf Mistari, the director of the prison's affairs at the ceremony. Unless they're pedos, or Patriots.
"We have also provided vocational training for the prisoners, schools and madrasas have been provided and their trainings continue now," said Habibullah Bader, the military deputy of the directorate of prisons affairs.
There is a recent tradition worldwide of converting imprisoned criminals to Islam. Yep, here too. Natural proclivity I guess.
Why not in Afghanistan?
Meanwhile, ...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him.... Khalil Rajman Haqqani, the acting minister of refugees and repatriation, who attended the ceremony, urged officials to treat prisoners well and pay attention to their education.
"Treat the prisoners well, train them and teach them Islamic faith and religious issues," said Khalil Rahman Haqani.
"This time, uniforms are distributed to us, and in this way, military and common people will be recognized, said Zakarya, a military guard of the Pul-e-Charkhi prison.
The directorate of prisons affairs further said that at least 60 people have been arrested on charges of taking drugs into the prisons and were introduced to legal offices.
[ToloNews] The Ministry of Finance said that in the past fifteen months more than one million tons of humanitarian aid worth 164 billion Afghanis has arrived in Afghanistan.
This aid, according to the ministry's front man Ahmad Wali Haqmal, included food, clothing, and other items.
"Over 1 million tons of food and non-food items from these organizations entered Afghanistan; this amounted to 41,000 shipments with a customs value of 164 billion Afghanis. All these goods went through the customs process and entered Afghanistan without any customs taxes," Haqmal said.
According to figures from the Ministry of Finance, more than 41,000 packages of humanitarian relief entered the nation between August 2021 and January 2023, of which 23.3 billion Afghanis in customs taxes were exempted.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again... some economists believe that foreign assistance is crucial to preventing the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
"Even humanitarian aid has been distributed to Afghans in the form of cash, and it has not been able to improve the economic situation in Afghanistan, and we are witnessing increasing poverty in Afghanistan," said Mir Shekaib Mir, an economist.
Some residents of Kabul said that the aid of the international community should be distributed transparently to poor people.
"In 15 months, they have paid us one or two times, and that was to help us for only one month and they have not paid after that," said Khuda Bakhsh, a resident of Kabul.
"They provided us with 4100 or 4300 once, or they provided us with flour, and it was sufficient for our one month. It will be helpful if they assist us," said Adil, another resident of Kabul.
Earlier, the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) reported that in 2022, aid organizations helped more than 25 million people in Afghanistan.
[OutlookIndia] The suicide kaboom at a mosque in Pakistain's Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... killed 101 and injured over 200. The Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) grabbed credit for the bombing.
The suicide kaboom in Pakistain's Peshawar was planned in Afghanistan and the terror plot was funded by a foreign intelligence agency, according to Pak Sherlocks on the case.
A suide bomber struck a mosque in high-security Police Lines area of Peshawar in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province on January 30. A total of 101 were killed and over 200 were maimed. The terrorist group Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) grabbed credit for the bombing.
Most of the victims were police personnel. At least a deputy superintendent of police, five sub-inspectors and the mosque's prayer leader Maulana Sahibzada Noorul Amin were among the dead.
The security agencies have so far arrested 17 persons. The suspected bomber was earlier identified as 37-year-old Mohammed Ayaz from Mohmand district in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
WHAT HAVE OFFICIALS SAID?
The Counter Terrorism Department Peshawar has announced a bounty of PKR 10 million for the controllers of the jacket wallah.
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province Police Chief Moazzam Jah Ansari said the suicide bomber's identity has been identified through his DNA samples.
"The controllers behind this heinous attack will be arrested soon," he said.
Earlier, officials said the bomber disguised himself in a police uniform to sneak into the high-security zone and was riding a cycle of violence with a helmet and mask on. The cycle of violence used in the blast was sold twice in Sarki Gate, Peshawar's bustling market, officials said. Police said they have arrested the sellers of the cycle of violence.
The bomber left his helmet at the gate before entering the highly-secured mosque which was captured in the CCTV footage.

[Rudaw] British author Salman Rushdie said he finds it "very difficult" to write after being stabbed last year, in an interview published Monday ahead of the release of his new novel "Victory City."
Hadi Matar, a 24-year-old from New Jersey with roots in Lebanon, was arrested immediately after the attack and pleaded not guilty to assault charges.
Rushdie, whose "epic tale" of a 14th-century woman who defies a patriarchal world to rule a city hits US shelves on Tuesday, said the attack had scarred him mentally.
"There is such a thing as PTSD you know," the 75-year-old told the New Yorker magazine in his first interview since the August 12 stabbing at a conference in Chautauqua in upstate New York.

[Dawn] President Dr Arif Alvi on Tuesday claimed that phosphorus, a highly lethal chemical, was used in the Police Lines mosque blast.
On Jan 30, a powerful suicide explosion destroyed the mosque in the Red Zone area where between 300 and 400 people — mostly coppers — had gathered for prayers.
The blast caused the roof to cave, killing 84 people, according to police.
Speaking to the media after visiting the injured at Lady Reading
Hospital, the president said phosphorus, a lethal and incendiary material, was added to the bomb which created a large shock wave.

[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the elite Duvdevan undercover unit operating in the West Bank, telling them that Israel can’t count on the Paleostinian Authority to stop terror attacks.
"We are struggling in a region where there is a constant struggle between those who want to go forward with us, and radical-Islamist forces, who want to return us to Medieval times," Netanyahu says, speaking to the soldiers.
"It’s a big fight. On the external level, of course, led by Iran, which is our greatest enemy, and we are fighting it. On the local level, there are forces that also want to strangle us in various places," Netanyahu says.
The prime minister says Israel cannot count on the Paleostinian Authority to stop terror attacks.
"Of course, we would be happy if the Paleostinian Authority did its part, but we see that it is not. In most cases, it does not confront those who need to be confronted," he says. "There is no substitute in any future scenario for our security control over the territory."
[IsraelTimes] Around five times as many weapons allowances than usual granted in past month as Nation Security Ministry fast-tracks applications
The issuing of new gun permits has spiked since a devastating terror attack in Jerusalem late last month and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s subsequent order to fast-track the permit process.
In the past month, around five times as many gun permits have been granted than usual, the Walla news site reported on Tuesday.
The ministry has granted up to 408 permits in a day, and aims to raise the number of permits from around 2,000 per month to 10,000.
The National Security Ministry’s Firearms Licensing Department is working through around 9,000 permit applications.
Ben Gvir has instructed the ministry to work according to emergency procedures to speed the process through May of this year, including by working longer hours and enlisting more staff.
The minister also decided to nullify the requirement of interviews for security officials seeking a personal license. That would mean IDF officers, coppers, Shin Bet officials, Mossad officials, Prison Service wardens, and firefighters would no longer need to wait for an interview to get their license.
Permits are set to be issued, on average, about 75% faster with a wait time of around 45 days, the report said.
"Civilians’ personal sense of security has fallen in recent years so I acted to accelerate the number of weapons in the streets, so that it will be possible to save lives in real time," Ben Gvir said.
Critics warned more firearms will come with significant risks, including suicides, violence against women, road rage incidents and murders.
"The calls that come up after terror attacks and other incidents to give weapons permits are dangerous and don’t look at the bigger picture, and only deal with the benefits of more weapons," lawyer Ann Suciu of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel told Walla.
Gun control in Israel is relatively strict, and weapons are generally only granted to those who can show a need for extra security in their line of work or daily life. Citizens in nearly all cases can only own one gun and only 50 bullets at a given time.
Ben Gvir announced a planned overhaul of the ministry’s firearm licensing department last week.
According to data released by the National Security Ministry last week, there were 147,248 issued gun licenses, compared to a high of 185,399 in 2009.
According to the ministry, 42,236 applications were submitted in 2022, an all-time record. Before 2021, gun ownership had been on the downswing, with an average of 13,000 applications a year between 2016 and 2020.
The rise in applications has been attributed to the May 2021 Jewish-Arab race riots in many cities during a war with the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip.
Of the applications last year, 10,986 licenses were issued, and 4,404 were given conditional approval.
According to data from the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, of 32 women murdered with firearms between 2019 and 2021, nine were killed by people with licensed guns.
ACRI said some 200 licensed guns are stolen each year, and around 11% of suicides per year are committed with firearms.
Most of the recent terror incidents have occurred in the West Bank, where civilians can already apply for a license. Currently, some 13% of gun licenses are based on home or work location criteria.
[IsraelTimes] Bill Burns says his meetings with leaders during last week’s trip to the region left him more concerned about prospect of increased violence
The director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency expressed his concern last week that the current period of tensions between Israel and the Paleostinians is beginning to resemble the violence of the Second Intifada.
"I was a senior US diplomat 20 years ago during the Second Intifada, and I’m concerned — as are my colleagues in the intelligence community — that a lot of what we’re seeing today has a very unhappy resemblance to some of those realities that we saw then too," Bill Burns said during a live interview at the Georgetown School of Foreign Service in Washington on Thursday.
The Second Intifada lasted from 2000 to 2005 and for Israelis became synonymous with the suicide kabooms and bus bombings that led to the deaths of over 1,000 civilians and soldiers. The uprising that followed the Camp David peace negotiations also saw intense festivities with Israelis troops that left over 3,000 Paleostinians dead.
Burns made the remarks days after returning from the region, where he met with senior Israeli and Paleostinian leaders, as the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... has intensified its efforts to calm tensions between the sides.
But Burns said he did not leave the trip feeling optimistic. "The conversations I’ve had with Israeli and Paleostinian leaders left me quite concerned about the prospects for even greater fragility and even greater violence between Israelis and Paleostinians.
"Part of the responsibility of my agency is to work as closely as we can with both the Paleostinian security services and the Israeli security services to prevent the kind of explosions of violence that we’ve seen in recent weeks. That’s going to be a big challenge, and I’m concerned about that dimension of the landscape in the Middle East as well," he added.
Ties between Jerusalem and Ramallah have been strained for months. The previous Israeli government took some steps to bolster the PA, but still refused to engage in diplomatic negotiations. Tensions have soared since the swearing-in of a new coalition in late December led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Widely seen as the most right-wing government in Israel’s history, it slapped a series of sanctions against the Paleostinian Authority in early January in response to the latter’s successful initiative at the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... to have the International Court of Justice weigh in on Israel’s conduct in the territories.
Then on January 26, the IDF conducted a raid in the northern West Bank city of Jenin during which nine Paleostinians were killed, including one civilian. Israel has defended the operation as a necessary anti-terror measure. The PA responded by announcing the severing of its security coordination with the IDF (though Abbas later told Burns ties were only partially cut).
A day later, a Paleostinian gunman opened fire outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem, killing seven Israelis.
The IDF has pressed on with an anti-terror campaign to deal with a series of attacks that left 31 people in Israel dead in 2022, and seven more in an attack last month.
The IDF’s operation has netted more than 2,500 arrests in near-nightly raids. It also left 171 Paleostinians dead in 2022, and another 41 since the beginning of the year — many of them carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces, though some were uninvolved civilians.
The US has pressed the PA to walk back its announcement cutting security ties with the IDF, which the Israel security establishment has long touted as crucial for maintaining stability and preventing terror in the West Bank. The PA’s supporters have warned, however, that it will be harder to sustain in the long term in the absence of diplomatic negotiations that boost its image in the Paleostinian street.
Abbas told Burns on Sunday that intelligence sharing with Israel — a key component of the sensitive security ties — has continued, an official familiar with the details of their meeting told The Times of Israel.
Among other elements, the security coordination includes regular communication between Israeli and PA security forces to prevent entanglements when the IDF enters Paleostinian towns. The PA also assists in extracting Israelis who mistakenly enter Paleostinian areas and carries out arrests of terror suspects on Israel’s behalf.
The official, who requested anonymity, said the PA president also assured Burns that PA security forces will continue arresting terror suspects and that the security coordination would be fully reinstated once calm is restored.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Abbas two days later, during which he encouraged Ramallah to adopt a plan aimed at boosting the PA’s security presence in the northern West Bank, where fighting between Israeli forces and local gangs has grown increasingly deadly, two US and Paleostinian officials told The Times of Israel.
In recent months, the PA has seen its control over growing swaths of the West Bank slip away, particularly in northern West Bank cities such as Jenin and Nablus. Israel says that as a result, it has been forced to send its own troops into those areas — which under the Oslo Accords are supposed to be under full PA control — to carry out arrests of security suspects.
In the past, similar raids may have been carried out by the PA.
Many of the Israeli raids have sparked increasingly violent mostly peacefulfestivities with armed Paleostinians frustrated over the Israeli incursions and the PA’s willingness to cooperate.
The US plan would see the establishment of PA Civil Police SWAT teams in Jenin and Nablus in order to re-establish the PA’s control in the area. It would seek to reduce friction between PA police and Paleostinian civilians by deploying civil police to operate and carry out arrests instead of paramilitary forces normally used, according to a source familiar with the matter.
While Abbas did not provide Blinken with a final answer regarding the proposal, PA officials have given a chilly response to it thus far, lamenting its lack of inclusion of an Israeli commitment to cease raids into PA-controlled Area A of the West Bank, a Paleostinian official said.
The official added that recruitment for such a force would also be difficult amid growing public frustration with the PA. Israel, meanwhile, supports the US plan, according to Axios.
Commenting Monday on Burns’ remarks, State Department front man Ned Price said the CIA director’s concern "is precisely the reason Secretary Blinken from Israel, from the West Bank, from Egypt, encouraged Israelis, Paleostinians to take urgent steps themselves that would de-escalate this situation and lead to greater degrees of security and stability for Israelis and Paleostinians alike."

[Jpost] This is one of several Iranian underground air force bases to have been built in recent years throughout the country.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... on Tuesday unveiled its first underground air force base, called "Eagle 44," according to the official IRNA news agency.
"It is one of the army's most important air force bases, with fighters equipped with long-range cruise missiles and built in the depths of the Earth," IRNA added.
The Iranian news outlet also said that this is one of several underground air force bases to have been built in recent years throughout the country.
In addition, the air force base will allow the Iranian military to carry out surprise airborne operations far from the expectations of the country's enemies, according to Tasnim News.
Don’t we have ground-penetrating radar? Wouldn’t that allow us to see the kinds of things that would indicate underground preparations? Not to mention Israel’s spy squirrels and storks... and Mahmoud the Weasel, who for a variety of reasons types a line of code or makes a quick phone call or forgets to lock a door...
The base was visited by a number of high-ranking Iranian military officials ahead of its official unveiling in Iran's state media outlets.
Iran's army on Tuesday unveiled its first underground base for fighter jets designed to withstand possible strikes by U.S. bunker-busting bombs, state media reported.
The base -- named Oghab 44 ("Eagle" in Persian) -- can accommodate "all types of fighter jets and bombers, in addition to drones", the official news agency IRNA said, releasing images and videos from inside the base.
The exact location of the base was not revealed, but state media said it was "at the depth of hundreds of meters under the mountains", and capable of withstanding "bombs by strategic U.S. bombers".
In May last year, Iran's army revealed an air force base for drones under the Zagros mountain range in the west of the country.
The latest unveiling comes the day before Iran ...The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both... marks Air Force Day, part of the build-up to the 44th anniversary on Saturday of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
It can prepare fighter jets to "counter possible offensives" such as those practiced by the US and Israel in their recent military drill, according to state media.
Iran has mostly Russian MiG and Sukhoi fighter jets that date back to the Soviet era, as well as some Chinese aircraft, including the F-7. Some American F-4 and F-5 fighter jets dating back to before the revolution are also part of its fleet.
On the sidelines of the unveiling ceremony, the long-range air-launched cruise missile ’Asef’ was also showcased, Press TV reported.
The missile is equipped with a warhead that features a high destructive and explosive power and can destroy heavy fortifications.
The Asef missile, which is manufactured by Iranian experts, is mounted on the Sukhoi 24 fighter jet.
Similarly, in May last year, the Iranian army had shared some details of an underground base for its military drones. Iran’s state media had reported that 100 drones were being kept in the heart of the Zagros mountains, including Ababil-5.

...No matter how far underground it may be, it's gotta have two things aboveground: the electrical connections and a door.
In the late 50s and early 60s, the US had designs for shelters (including one nearly 500 feet beneath the White House) that were - at least on paper - proof against even a direct hit from the weapons of the time. But all those things came up against one unsolvable problem: it was child's play to turn those things into the world's most luxurious tombs.
And they should perhaps talk to any surviving members of Saddam Hussein's military, whose aircraft hard shelters were guaranteed by their German builders as survivable against tactical nuclear weapons. They probably were - but we didn't use nukes, and an appreciable fraction of the Iraqi Air Force died in its shelters as our conventional guided bombs came through the roof.
Saw the results when I was part of SOUTHERN WATCH in 1995. Not at all pretty.

The mountain is defunct, or repurposed.
Command has moved to Peterson AFB near the CO Springs. The strategy of hardening a single point of failure has evolved into survivable distribution of function.
#7
I take it those where the so-called "bunker busters"?
Regular 2000lb bombs. The fuses had a few milliseconds delay so they penetrated before detonating. The 5,000lb bunker buster came later when going after Saddam's personal underground bunkers.
Some shelters had 3 layers: reinforced concrete dome, dirt and reinforced concrete shelter. In that case, the bomb penetrated the dome and detonated in the dirt layer and the shockwave ruining everything in the shelter w/o penetrating it.

DDM,
Yes, sir - in the early part of the war, we had to drop two bombs on each shelter to insure a breakthrough because the bombs were marginal in that respect. But the USAF Armament Labs at Eglin AFB, FL, came up with the idea of using repurposed naval gun barrels...and they went through them like hot knives through butter. They were created so quickly that the first bombs arrived in theater still warm from the HE filler pours. Later new-build variants have a much harder case and do the job just fine.

Posted by: Angstrom 2023-02-08 10:04
Ang,
When the Mountain was built, no Soviet missile was accurate enough to lay a big enough warhead down to take it out. That changed in the late 70s/early 80s, and after that the Mountain's main job was to warn us that an attack was inbound.
