[Dawn] Security forces in the Afghan capital have defused a truck bomb packed with nearly eight tonnes of explosives, the biggest of its kind discovered in the country, the spy agency said on Friday amid heightened security.
Intelligence forces discovered the explosives in eastern Kabul, wired and ready for detonation, security officials said.
Five Al Qaeda linked Haqqani network insurgents were killed in a resulting firefight.
"This truck bomb could have destroyed an area around 1.5 km (in radius). Now can you imagine that what kind of catastrophe this would be?," Shafiqullah Tahiri, a spokesman for the National Directorate of Security, told a news conference.
It contained sodium chloride, ammonium nitrate, other chemicals and some diesel.
After more than 11 years of war, insurgents are still able to strike strategic military targets and launch high-profile attacks in Kabul and elsewhere.
The truck bomb was discovered on Wednesday two days after US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel left the capital. On the first full day of Hagel's visit, a suicide bomber struck about a kilometre away from his morning meetings at a Nato facility.
Two Haqqani operatives were arrested during the night raid, and Tahiri said the militants had been planning to target a military facility in the capital. There are several foreign and Afghan military bases in Kabul, housing thousands of soldiers.
The Haqqani network is widely regarded as the most dangerous US foe in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is bracing for the start of the spring fighting season, and officials fear that militants will infiltrate the capital as the snow melts in the mountains to the east where they hide.
A number of insurgent groups, including the Taliban, the Haqqani network and Hizb-i-Islami, led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, are known to reside in restive Wardak province just 40 minutes drive from Kabul.
Afghan officials told Reuters this week they were worried that the Afghan capital would be in danger after President Hamid Karzai ordered US special forces tasked with fighting the Taliban to leave Wardak.

[An Nahar] Hundreds of Egyptians demonstrated in Cairo on Friday to press for the army to assume power in a country plagued by unrest and instability two years after a revolution which toppled president Hosni Mubarak.
The protest was held in eastern Cairo in response to a call by retired army officers and groups opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood, the party of President Mohamed Morsi.
"The army must return" to power and "Down with the power of the guide," they chanted, referring to the Brotherhood's spiritual guide Mohamed Badie, as they waved portraits of General Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, the armed forces chief.
Al-Ahram newspaper's website reported that pro-army demonstrations were also held in Damietta in northern Egypt.
In late January, Sissi warned that Egypt's political crisis could lead to the collapse of the state, something which the military which ruled the country between the fall of Mubarak and last June's election of Morsi would not allow.
Opposition groups and disgruntled Egyptians accuse Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists of monopolizing power, and say the revolution failed to reach its goals of social justice.

Show a Moslem Democracy and they all grow a big moustache and put on their boots.
It has something to do with how Mohammed used to do things. You didn't get more democratic than ol' Mohammed. Spit in your face maybe but you don't get to vote.
Camels, ditches and Donkeys and the smell of Islamic everywhere.
It's an historical cycle, usually following a record of successive corrupt and inept civilian leadership. [see - Rome, numerous Chinese dynasties, Saladin, Cromwell, Napoleon, etc]

[Guardian Ng] THERE seems to be no end yet to the orgy of violence in Borno State as gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect members attacked a prison in Gwoza with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and petrol bombs, setting all the unspecified number of inmates free at about 6.30pm on Thursday..
Gwoza, a border town with the Republic of Cameroun, is 135 kilometres southeast of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
According to an eyewitness and resident, Yahaya Inusa, the gunmen took the police and other security agents unawares. They came in three vehicles, chanting, 'God is great, God is great,' in Arabic language, before detonating IEDs and throwing of petrol bombs at the prison building, located near the emir's.
He said the gunmen operated unhindered. Residents and passersby, he added, had to scamper for safety, as one person was hit by a stray bullet in the chest and taken to hospital for treatment.
He said: "The attack on and bombing of the prison building lasted for only half an hour before the gunmen fled to unknown destination on the Gadamayo and Market roads of Gwoza town.
Spokesman of Borno State Police Command, Gideon Jibrin, Friday in Maiduguri confirmed the incident, adding that no arrest was made by either the JTF or police.

His mother admitted Imran Mahmood was a problem child who was often in trouble with the police. Nighat Sultana said he became such a problem as he grew older that he mainly lived with his grandmother until she died in 2007, when he returned to live with her.
Mahmood spent a year in Pakistan between July 2010 and August 2011 during which time, police and security services think he undertook terror training. He was detained for overstaying by the Pakistani authorities in July 2011 and deported a month later.
On his return to the UK traces of explosive materials were found inside his bag at Heathrow airport suggesting the backpack had been used to carry them previously. He was not arrested but permitted to go through and put under surveillance.
He first met Dart two months later and is said to have given him advice on who to seek in Pakistan for terror training.
Mrs Sultana said she had believed her son had first met Dart at a local job centre and the latter was helping him find a wife. She said, It was a complete shock to later hear he had been accused of terrorism. As far as I knew he was in Pakistan to see family.
When he was young he was always in trouble with the police and I could not cope with him. It was never anything serious though.
Mrs Sultana said when he returned from Pakistan he was looking for employment and job centre staff later suggested he train to be a security guard. She said, He did a course and has just passed it when he was arrested. I dont know if it had anything to do with that because the Olympics were coming up. I dont even know if he was planning to try and get a job working there.

Even as Mexican federal security forces seized drugs, guns and cars following last weekend's bloody gun battles in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, a total of five unidentified individuals were found dead Friday night in Reynosa and in or near Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas state, according to press accounts and official government news releases.
A late report which appeared on the website of Durango based Yancuic.com said that a joint Mexican Army and Tamaulipas state police patrol located the body of a man left aboard a Ford pickup truck near the intersection of calles Occidental and Praxedis Balboa following an exchange of gunfire.
The government does not make it clear if the victim, identified as Édgar José Zertuche Botello, was killed as part of the gunfight with Mexican Army and local security forces. The report does say, however, that weapons and tactical gear were found in the truck.
The report also says that Mexican Army units have been involved in fighting at several points in Reynosa.
According to a news release posted on the Tamaulipas state Procuraduria General de Justicia del Estado (PGJE), or attorney general the victims in Ciudad Victoria were located Thursday evening and early Friday morning.
Two men were found shot to death near the intersection of Calle Felipe Arredondo Vega and a private drive in Las Cumbres colony. Both victims were in their 20s and both were shot once in the head with a .40 caliber weapon.
Meanwhile Thursday evening two unidentified men in their 30s were found tortured and shot to death in Ciudad Victoria. The victims were found on Libremento (Bypass) Unidos Nacionales between the Matamoros and Monterrey exits.
The PGJE in its news release makes mention that the victims were the victims of a local gang rivalry, which one gang won. The mention probably means a message was left at the scene. No gang was identified as the culprit in the shooting.
In Reynosa Thursday local drug gangs were involved in gunfights and pursuits with local police. According to a news account which appeared on the website of El Diario de Coahuila news daily, the fighting began on Bulevar Morelos, where state police agents were involved in a pursuit of armed suspects. Blockades were put up by local gangs in Longoria and Rodriguez colonies.
Tamaulipas governor Egidio Torre Cantu was apparently visiting the area when the gunfights and pursuits took place.
Wednesday, more than four metric tons of drugs were seized by Mexican federal security forces in Reynosa. A news account which appeared on the website of El Sol de Mexico said that a Policia Federal road patrol discovered two wine cellars at a location known as El Berrendo which is on the Reynosa to Monterrey-Nuevo Leon Highway, where the drugs were being stored.
Almost four metric tons of marijuana, 100 kilograms of powder cocaine and 60 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine were seized.
The news report also said that weapons were also found at the location but the number and type were not disclosed.
On Tuesday a news release by the Mexican Secretaria de Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) said that 30 vehicles, guns and drugs were seized in the aftermath of the bloody confrontation in Reynosa. The seizures took place between 1130 hrs Sunday and 2100 hrs Monday.
Tamaulipas government sources have claimed that only two individuals were found dead following a three hour gun battle in the city, while local residents through Twitter and other social media have claimed as many as 50 men were killed.
Both the Los Zetas and Gulf cartel local gangs are known to take the bodies of their dead and remove them from the field of battle to prevent their rivals and the government from gaining intelligence on their activities.
According to a report which also appeared on Borderland Beat, Sunday's gun battles were an internal struggle within the Gulf Cartel.
According to the news report about the vehicle and guns seizures, 30 vehicles were seized, ten of them custom armored civilian vehicles, along with 13 rifles, 5.092 rounds of ammunition, 235 weapons magazines, 13 grenades (presumably 40mm launchable), two grenade launchers, one rocket launcher, one rocket, 11.595 kilograms of marijuana, and personal quantities of powder and crack cocaine.
A total of nine unidentified suspects were also detained.

North Korea has fallen victim to a massive cyber attack since Wednesday morning, a senior South Korean government official said. He added Seoul is trying to find out who is behind it.
I wouldn't look too hard...
"Internet resources of the country have come under a powerful hacker attack from abroad," Russia's ITAR-TASS news agency, which has a branch in Pyongyang, reported on Wednesday night. The country's websites apparently all went offline until late Thursday afternoon.
They included propaganda outlets like the Rodong Sinmun, the KCNA news agency and Naenara, which are blocked in South Korea.
An expert at a government-funded think tank in Seoul said it is unlikely that an attack on this scale was launched by an individual hacker since all websites with North Korea-based servers were affected and the attack lasted for two days.
The official insisted the South Korean government has nothing to do with it.
"It's inconceivable that the Internet network of the North has been under hacker attack for such a long period of time," said Ryu Dong-ryeol at the Police Science Institute. "It's likely that the regime has staged the incident itself as a way out of its current international impasse."

Alternatively, its a good way to propagate bulletproofing, flush DNS, activate Day 0 IP logging on the webservers and possibly plant a worm in the ACK scripts. They may not have been hacked. They may be 'uparmored'.

[Dawn] Rangers shot dead a motorcyclist in a Lyari locality during a snap check on Thursday evening, police said.
They said that the paramilitary troops were carrying out a snap check near the Dhobi Ghat area, a junction between Lyari and Pak Colony. They signalled a man riding a motorcycle to stop and fired at him when he allegedly tried to speed away, the police added.
The victim was identified as Shaukat, 40. He was a resident of the Nayabad area in Lyari.
It was not clear whether the victim had any criminal record or if he was associated with any political party or group.
However, Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... a Rangers official claimed that two men riding a motorcycle emerged at the Dhobi Ghat Chowk and opened fire on the Rangers personnel who were carrying out snap checking.
The official said that the Rangers returned fire and the bullets hit one of the motorcyclists.
He was arrested and taken to the Civil Hospital Karachi, where he died during treatment.
However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... his accomplice managed to escape, the official added.

[Dawn] A suspected militant, said to be involved in the Wednesday killing of the city's leading social worker Parween Rahman, was killed in a police encounter in the Manghopir locality on Thursday, police said.
A police team signalled a Toyota Platz car in the Manghopir area to stop, police said, adding that the occupants of the vehicle opened fire on the police and tried to speed away. However, the police returned fire and the bullets hit one of the men in the car, the police said.
They said that in the meantime some aides of the suspects opened fire on the police from the Manghopir hillocks and one man in the vehicle managed to escape on foot. However, the wounded suspect died before he could be shifted to hospital.
The police said that the deceased was identified through a police informer as Qari Bilal. He was the deputy chief of the proscribed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan's Manghopir chapter, they added.
SSP-West Asif Ajaz Shaikh told Dawn that some evidence recovered from the possession of the suspect suggested that he could have been involved in the killing of Ms Rahman, the director of the Orangi Pilot Project.
He said that the Platz car had been snatched from Mohammad Asif on Wednesday night before the attack on Ms Rahman and the same car was also spotted at the place where Ms Rahman was targeted.
"We have recovered a 9mm pistol from the possession of Qari Bilal. A similar pistol was also used in the killing of Ms Rahman," he said. "The recovered pistol has been sent for a forensic examination along with the spent bullet casings collected from the crime scene."
The body of suspect Bilal, whose CNIC was also recovered, was taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities.
Speaking to reporters at the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital in the early hours of Thursday, DIG Javed Odho said that the police had reason to believe that the same group was also involved in the attacks on polio teams.

A spokesman for the Majlis Wehdat-i-Muslimeen said that the victim was a member of the Shia community and was targeted for sectarian reasons. He said that the victim was not associated with any political party.
However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... police quoting some area people said that the victim was associated with the Mohajir Qaumi Movement, better known as MQM-Haqiqi.

They were brothers and in their mid and late twenties.
The police said that the victims had been kidnapped late on Wednesday night near the P-1 route bus terminal in Khokhrapar.

What is this thing with Moslems killing cripples and the disabled. Is it because its EASY to kill a Cripple.?
I seem to remember the old gentleman in the wheelchair on the Achille Lauro who was killed in his wheelchair too. But he was a Jew...an OLD and CRIPPLED Jew. Allahu AKBAR.
Allah eats that up maybe. Lets hum along with the religion of Peace.
Lions of Islam. Mother of all battles. Baghdad Bob.... That sort of thing...and Mecca too.
[Dawn] The Punjab government on Thursday removed Capital City Police Officer Amjad Javed Saleemi in connection with the Joseph Colony arson attack and appointed Sargodha RPO Muhammad Amlish as new city police chief.
However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the government didn't appoint new Sargodha police chief as police sources claimed the new posting would be made by the interim government.
Sources told Dawn that Mr Saleemi had to face 'abrupt' transfer only after 35 days of his posting as Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif's government had been feeling embarrassment in the Supreme Court that took suo motu notice of the arson attack on Christians. The court blamed both the provincial government as well as city police managers for poor handling of the issue.
Sources said the government would try to get a bit relief from pressure exerted by the SC in March 18 hearing of the case by mentioning removal of top police chief, four others and arrests of accused attackers. They said blasphemy complainant Imran Shahid was still at large.
Earlier, the chief minister had made SSP (Operations) Sohail Akhtar Sukhera and City SP (Operations) Multan Khan OSDs and suspended the Badami Bagh circle DSP as well as the SHO from service.
Mr Saleemi, who had got two key postings -- Sahiwal and Sargodha RPOs -- before being appointed as CCPO in the current PML-N tenure in Punjab, has been posted DIG (Establishment) at the Central Police Office (Punjab), Lahore, against an existing vacancy.
According to police record, Mr Saleemi has been removed 'unceremoniously' from field position for third time. Earlier, he was removed from Sialkot DPO slot in connection with Sialkot district jail killings of judges and prisoners in 2003 and later from DIG (Operations) Lahore office after the terror attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in 2009.
Mr Amlish was too posted Sargodha RPO the day Mr Saleemi was appointed Lahore CCPO on Feb 7.
Police circles are considering the new posting temporary because of the interim set-up.
A Lahore police officer, who wished not to be named, said the chief minister had once again made a senior police officer 'scapegoat' in order to save the government's skin.
He wondered if things would improve on part of the police by changing only police officers.
He said the government had to appoint new CCPO suddenly to avoid SC 'wrath' because the bench also took notice of the non-appointment of a regular IGP in Punjab.
Meanwhile, ...back at the mall, Clarissa suddenly spied Mr. Bartlett at the checkout counter. He was buying Grecian Formula!... a good number of field officers heaved a sigh of relief after the transfer of the CCPO who launched aggressive policing by engaging officers in special field assignment from 6am to 9am and launched campaigns against non-registered motorcycles and beggars.
According to divisional SP, Mr Saleemi engaged all SSPs and SPs in field duties starting from 6am during his tenure which irked officers.

[An Nahar] Gunmen shot dead eight Iraqi soldiers as they were on their way to report to their unit in a town north of Baghdad on Friday evening, security and medical officials said.
At least one soldier survived the gun attack in which a minibus the troops were travelling in overturned, but he was badly wounded, an Iraqi army colonel and a police colonel said. A doctor at the nearest hospital confirmed the toll.
All three spoke on condition of anonymity.
The soldiers had set off from the town of Qaiyarah in the northern province of Nineveh, and were headed for a military camp in Taji 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the capital.
The gunmen opened fire on the minibus near the town of Baiji, about half way between the two towns, causing the vehicle to overturn, at which point they opened fire on the soldiers.
The attackers fled the scene before emergency services arrived.

A roadside bomb in Narathiwat's Rusoh district Friday killed three policemen, including a much-decorated senior officer, and seriously injured three others when it detonated as their vehicle was passing.
The massive bomb, consisting of 90 kilograms of explosives, left a three-meter-wide, two-meter-deep crater in the bridge where it was planted and sent the officers' vehicle flying several meters away. The six occupants were traveling in their jurisdiction in Rusoh district on administrative duty.
The three fallen officers were Pol Lt-Colonel Jakkrit Wongphrommes, Pol Sergeant Piya Phoophanwer and Pol Corporal Suwes Jantharangsee. Jakkrit, 49, was known to have devoted himself to peace building and was instrumental in the suppression of terrorists' insurgents' activities, foiling several attacks.
[An Nahar] State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged on Friday ten people with belonging to an armed group and al-Nusra Front.
The state-run National News Agency reported that the 10 men include Shadi al-Mawlawi, who was released on bail upon his arrest in the northern city of Tripoli in May last year, and another detained man.
Mawlawi was charged then with belonging to a terrorist group.
Later, LBCI reported that the detainee was identified as Amine Khaled who admitted during interrogations that the group coordinates with Fatah al-Islam leader Osama al-Shahabi.
Al-Shahabi is currently present at the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon, the channel said.
Saqr accused the men of belonging to an armed group and al-Nusra Front to carry out terrorist acts and transfer arms between Lebanon and Syria.
Mawlawi told LBCI that the judicial system is corrupt and he doesn't "trust it," considering that the charges are "invalid" and "useless."
He called on the judiciary to issue arrest warrants against Hizbullah first, warning against any attempts to arrest him.
"All security agencies know my movements," Mawlawi told the channel.
The al-Nusra Front, completely unknown before the rebellion in Syria that began two years ago, has been a rebel standard-bearer since mid-2012 when it became the spearhead of the insurgency ahead of the Free Syrian Army.
The organization has been blacklisted in December by the United States as a "terrorist" organization and makes no secret of its aim for Syria to become an Islamist state.
Saqr referred the suspects to the First Military Magistrate.

And if you can't trust a guy named Sucker Suckoff who can you trust? Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ...hey, I don't make this stuff up. A MILITARY judge too...that makes it even better.
[An Nahar] Several Lebanese citizens were wounded on Friday when Syrian "anti-aircraft" guns targeted several towns in the border region of Akkar.
LBCI television said "shells fired from Syria fell on Lebanese border towns."
It later reported clashes between gunmen and the Syrian army opposite the Lebanese towns of al-Noura and Hakr Janine.
"Two people were wounded in Akkar's al-Qashlaq as anti-aircraft gunfire from Syria targeted the town," LBCI added.
Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, Cynthia backed into the galley, the barbecue fork held in front of her. Jack! she called. Where the hell are you?... al-Jadeed television said "heavy gunfire from Syria is targeting the Akkar towns of al-Abboudiyeh, Hakr Janine and al-Qashlaq."
MTV reported that Lebanese citizen Zuheir al-Mustafa was wounded by Syrian shelling on al-Qashlaq.
The escalation comes one day after Syria warned that its forces would fire into Lebanon if "terrorist gangs" continued to infiltrate its territory.
"Syrian forces are showing restraint by not striking these gangs inside Lebanese territory to prevent them from crossing into Syria, but this will not go on indefinitely," Syria's foreign ministry said in a letter of protest, urging Lebanon to take action.
But LBCI quotes Lebanese security and military sources as saying that the Syrian letter "is not justified as there's nothing new on the border and the situation has not changed since a year."
"Trafficking is focused in Arsal's barren mountains, al-Qaa and Wadi Khaled and gunmen do not have permanent positions," the sources said.
But the sources did not deny that gunmen are inflitrating Syria from Lebanon.
Quoting residents of the Syrian border town of Joussiyeh, LBCI said "the reason behind the Syrian letter might be the advances achieved by rebels."
Residents of the Lebanese area of Wadi Khaled told LBCI that "Syrian intelligence agents are sending their loyalists to stir incidents on the border and create an excuse for shelling."
The U.N. Security Council expressed "grave concern" Thursday over cross-border attacks between Syria and Lebanon in a rare united declaration on the Syrian conflict.
Council members "underscored their grave concern over repeated incidents of cross-border fire which caused death and injury among the Lebanese population, incursions, abductions and arms trafficking across the Lebanese-Syrian border, as well as other border violations."
