[Ynet] Army launches 'Operation Desert Storm' to eradicate terror in Sinai peninsula; minister warns sit-in protests in Cairo by Morsi supporters will be 'brought to an end soon' as corpse count in weekend festivities rises to 72
Egyptian security forces killed 10 gunnies and captured 20 in an operation in the Sinai Peninsula over the past 48 hours, state news agency MENA reported Sunday.
"Security operations carried out by the armed forces and police in north Sinai to hunt down armed terrorists... (resulted) in the liquidation of 10 of these armed terrorist elements," the agency said, citing a security source.
"The forces also managed to capture 20 of these elements," it added.
State-run news website Al-Ahram quoted a security bigshot as saying that the army has launched "Operation Desert Storm" in the Suez District to eradicate terror and violence in Sinai. According to the official, the army plans to besiege terror hubs, particularly in north and central Sinai.
According to the same source, the army will closely monitor the roads connecting Sinai to the Suez and Cairo districts. According to estimates, the number of gunnies in this area does not exceed 500.
Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, which borders Israel, has been the scene of increasing violence since a coup that overthrew Islamist president Mohamed Morsi on July 3.
Terrorists have conducted almost daily attacks on security forces in the area, where security had already deteriorated since the 2011 uprising that overthrew then-president Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach... interim Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim was quoted as saying by Al-Ahram that sit-in protests in Cairo by supporters of Morsi will be "brought to an end soon and in a legal manner."
Ibrahim said the protests would be cleared in line with complaints filed by residents in the area. Supporters of Morsi's Moslem Brüderbund have been manning two main vigils in the capital for a month, demanding Morsi be reinstated after his July 3 overthrow by the army.
"I assure the people of Egypt that the police are determined to maintain security and safety to their nation and are capable of doing so," Ibrahim told a graduation ceremony at the national police academy. "We will very decisively deal with any attempt to undermine stability," said Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police.
A Health Ministry official said Sunday the corpse count in weekend festivities in Cairo between supporters of Egypt's ousted president and security forces backed by armed civilians has risen to 72.
Khaled el-Khateeb, head of the ministry's emergency and intensive care department, says another eight died in festivities in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. In a Sunday statement, he said 792 people were maimed in both incidents, which spanned Friday and early Saturday.
The Cairo violence took place when pro-Morsi protesters sought to expand their sit-in camp by moving onto a nearby main boulevard, only to be confronted by police and armed civilians.
It was the deadliest single outbreak of violence since the military ousted Morsi in a July 3 coup that followed protests in which millions demanded he step down.
Police fired tear gas at protesters on Sunday as opponents and supporters of Tunisias government clashed outside parliament after the burial of the second opposition figure slain this year.
Mohamed Brahmis cold-blooded murder on Thursday outside his home has stoked tensions in the North African nation where the Arab Spring began.
Many Tunisians blame the government for not reining in radical Islamists accused of a wave of attacks since strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was toppled in a popular uprising in 2011.
Opposition figures are calling for the government to resign and the powerful General Union of Tunisian Labour (UGTT) was due to convene Monday to decide the fate of the country, its secretary-general Sami Tahri said.
Radical Salafists close to the Al Qaeda-linked group Ansar Al Sharia, blamed by the authorities for Brahmis murder, denied any involvement in an online statement on Sunday.
"Wudn't us! Why would you think it was us?"
Brahmi was gunned down in the Ariana suburb of Tunis, his body riddled with 14 bullets, almost six months after the murder of opposition politician Chokri Belaid. Authorities say the same gun was used in both killings, and blamed jihadists close to Ansar Al Sharia.
But in a Facebook statement, the group denied responsibility for what it called a political assassination, part of attempts to push the country toward chaos.
"Lies! All lies!"
Brahmis murder only profits remnants of the former regime and lackeys of the Zionists and Crusaders, it said.
Hundreds of thousands of mourners thronged the streets of Tunis on Saturday in an emotionally charged funeral to El-Jellaz cemetery where Brahmi was buried next to Belaid. Slogans vowing to avenge Brahmi and Belaid rose from the sea of mourners.
After the burial, protesters calling for the fall of the government marched on the Constituent Assembly and clashed with riot police who fired tear-gas to disperse them, an AFP reporter said. The demonstrations later tapered off but erupted again overnight when thousands of supporters and opponents of the government led by the Ennahda party squared off outside.
An AFP reporter said rival protesters camped outside parliament until dawn, separated by security barricades and anti-riot police.
Enough with Ghannouchi, the opposition crowd chanted, referring to Ennahda chief Rached Ghannouchi. The people want the fall of the assassins.
Ennahda supporters retorted that the parliament was a legitimate body and warned there was no room in Tunisia for the likes of Egyptian armed forces chief General Abdel Fattah Al Sisi.
In Tunis before dawn, police fired tear gas when protesters began hurling rocks at each other. Security forces also dismantled tents that anti-government protesters had erected outside parliament.
Interior Minister Lotfi Ben Jeddou on Sunday pledged to guarantee the safety of anti-government demonstrators, leftist MP Samir Taieb said.
The minister told us that he has clearly given orders for (security) agents not to use force against demonstrators and those who take part in the sit-in before the National Constituent Assembly, he said after a meeting with Ben Jeddou.

[Al Ahram] Unidentified assailants shot up several security sites in the Sinai Peninsula late on Sunday near Egypt's border with Israel and the Gazoo Strip. No injuries or deaths have been reported.
Security forces and gunnies exchanged gunfire at three security checkpoints as well as the security directorate headquarters in North Sinai's Arish, Ahram Arabic news website reported.
The deserted province is a hotbed for hard-line Islamist snuffies who have intensified their attacks on security and military checkpoints since the army's popularly-backed overthrow of Egypt's Islamist leader early in July.
Dozens of security personnel and civilians have been killed and around a hundred injured in drive-by shootings and rocket attacks since Morsi's ouster. The army has killed tens of alleged jihadi fighters in its latest crackdown in the peninsula.

[FOXNEWS] Two large kabooms hit courthouses in the city of Benghazi late Sunday, leaving part of one of the buildings a pile of rubble, two security officials said.
An official in Benghazi said 10 people were maimed, two seriously, in the kaboom outside one courthouse. Video posted by residents online showed several vehicles destroyed by that kaboom. The video also showed residents standing in a crater in the ground outside the building.
Another courthouse in the eastern part of the city was also hit, said a security official in the capital, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
The courthouse in the north of Benghazi was the site of the first protests against dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest... in early 2011 that led to his ouster. It continues to be a hub for protests.
The kaboom erupted just before a planned protest outside one of the buildings to mark the second anniversary of the death of Gen. Abdul Fattah Younis, a former Qadaffy security minister who defected from the regime to join the rebels fighting him. He was killed in July 2011 by his comrades while in jug after he was incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on suspicion of treason.

[FOXNEWS] A vigilante group says 25 people have been killed during an attack by the vigilantes and a reprisal by Islamic snuffies in Nigeria's northeast.

[Al Ahram] A Yemeni military official says a suspected US drone strike has killed six alleged Al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons in the group's southern strongholds.
The official said Sunday the attack took place late Saturday in the town of Mahfad in Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... province and targeted a car carrying the suspected krazed killers. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said security forces have identified three of the slain men. He gave no further details.
Washington considers Al-Qaeda's Yemeni branch, known as the Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as one of the world's most dangerous terrorist groups.

Profiling done by the prez is OK, as is collateral damage.
[Dawn] A suspected US drone strike has killed seven people and injured three others in the Shawal area of North Wazoo.
Intelligence officials say two missiles hit the Shawal area of North Waziristan Sunday evening.
The missile strike was carried out in the Shinkai Narai village in North Waziristan. The drone strike targeted a compound and destroyed it completely.
Intelligence officials have told Dawn.com that among the suspected bully boyz killed in the strikes, four included foreigners of Arab origin who were preparing for Iftar when the drone struck the compound.
Officials have said there is a possibility that a high profile figure was killed in the attack.
North Waziristan is home to a mix of Pak, Afghan and al-Qaeda-linked foreign Death Eaters.
The US drone program is a source of extreme tension between the two countries.
Washington says it needs to send drones after dangerous bully boyz because the Pak government refuses to engage them militarily.

Seventeen car bombs exploded in Iraq on Monday, killing at least 55 people. The attacks, which appeared to be coordinated, were concentrated on towns and cities in Iraq's predominantly Shi'ite south, and districts of the capital where Shi'ites reside.
At least 10 people were killed when two car bombs blew up near a bus station in the city of Kut, 95 miles southeast of the capital. Four more were killed in a blast in the town of Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, and two bombs in Samawa, further south, killed two.
The rest of the bombings took place in regions of Baghdad, in Sadr city, Habibiya, Hurriya, Bayaa, Ur, Shurta, Kadhimiya, Risala, Tobchi and Abu Dsheer neighborhoods.
[Al Ahram] A jacket wallah killed nine Kurdish police in northern Iraq on Sunday, a district official and a doctor said. The bomber detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle near a police convoy in the town of Tuz Khurmatu in Salaheddin province, also wounding nine officers, district official Shalal Abdul Baban told AFP.
A doctor and police confirmed the toll.
The town is part of a swathe of northern territory that Iraqi Kurds want to incorporate into their three-province autonomous region over the strong objections of the federal government in Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
Diplomats say the dispute is one of the main threats to Iraq's long-term stability.
Security forces, meanwhile, began a major operation on Sunday in Diyala, Salaheddin and Kirkuk provinces, aimed at tracking down those behind bombings and liquidations during the Moslem holy month of Ramadan, Lieutenant General Abdulamir al-Zaidi said.
All three provinces have been hit by frequent attacks, including in recent weeks.
In Storied Baghdad, a magnetic "sticky bomb" on a bus killed two people and maimed eight on Sunday, while an employee of the Southern Oil Company was rubbed out in Basra province in the country's south, officials said.
With the latest unrest, more than 730 people have been killed in July, making it the deadliest month in a year marked by spiralling violence that Iraqi authorities have failed to stem.

[Ynet] Netanyahu delays decision on Arab-Israeli prisoners' release; their family members warn they will protest, foil peace talks
Why in the name of all that's holy is the American Secretary of State demanding that Israeli criminals be released in order to get the Palestinian Authority closer to the negotiating table?
Following the decision of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to separate the votes for the release of prisoners in general from the release of Arab-Israeli prisoners, latter's families warn that if their family members remain in prison, they will act to prevent the resumption of peace talks.
The Younis family was hoping to see Karim Younis, an Arab Israeli who was convicted of the murder of IDF soldier Avraham Brumberg in 1981, freed as part of the Shalit deal, yet he remained in jail. His brother Nadim was certain that as part of the gesture to the Paleostinian Authority, Karim would be freed now, but the protest within the cabinet against the release of Arab-Israeli prisoners led to another delay.
"Everyone needs to understand that the deal will not pass without the release of Israeli citizens as well," the brother said. "If the Israeli government insists, we will insist as well. We have our ways to cancel and delay the deal."
Nadim Younis claimed that "the government must be braver on the matter of releasing prisoners and not give in to those who oppose the release. They are only delaying the grinding of the peace processor. If it is difficult for the government to release prisoners, then we will wait for a new administration that would know how to make decisions that would promote the grinding of the peace processor. Prisoners will be released eventually, if not in this deal, then in a year."
Walid Daka is also serving a lengthy prison sentence. Daka was sentenced in 1987 to life imprisonment after his involvement in the kidnapping and murdering of IDF soldier Moshe Tamam. His brother As'ad Daka told Ynet: "I'll say again, there is no deal without the release of prisoners who are Israeli citizens. They would have to return to the negotiations table and vote on their release."
However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... As'ad Daka still believes that his brother will be out of jail soon: "We are all optimistic that they indeed will be released; we won't take no for an answer. Otherwise we will take to the streets, and we will continue to fight for all prisoners."
In regards to the rally of the bereaved families, calling to oppose the release of prisoners, Daka said: "Every side has its price. My brother Walid paid the price and suffered a lot, he's been in prison for 27 years and he is in deep pain. We also feel for him."
The mother of a security prisoner added: "The Israeli government must approve the release of my son and release of all Arab Israelis. We thought we would get good news on Sunday about their release, but unfortunately the release is being delayed and I am very disappointed. It is time to release them in a new deal. I want to see my son with the family."
Netanyahu said to Likud ministers Sunday morning: "Any decision on the release of Arab Israelis, if such a decision will be reached, will be sent for reapproval by the government." The prime minister said the special ministerial committee would determine which Arab-Israeli prisoners would be released. The Paleostinians demanded that the Arab Israelis be released immediately as a precondition for the resumption of peace talks.
During the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said: "There is a very heavy price, but not entering the (peace) process will also exact a price. Entering the process will advance Israel's strategic interests. Any provocation on the part of the Paleostinians will stop the release (of prisoners).
"No one has to explain to me what the war on terror is. I lost a brother who commanded over an operation (in Entebbe) that was aimed at preventing the release of terrorists. During Operation Pillar of Defense the public's opinion was that I should continue the operation and enter Gazoo. I thought otherwise, and now the residents of the south are enjoying calm that has not prevailed (in the region) for more than a decade," he said.
The matter of prisoners' release divided the cabinet into camps. Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who expressed his support of the decision to release prisoners, said it was "one of the most difficult days for all of us. The heart rebels against the release of terrorists. Regardless of when they committed their crimes, no one could say, 'I'm all for it.'"
Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz said that he intended to "vote against the decision to release murderous terrorists. The decision on the release of prisoners is meant to allow talks with Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... , and I think this precedent is not good for the State of Israel."
The cabinet approved on Sunday a new Basic Law requiring a referendum on peace agreements that affect sovereign land. Basic Law: Referendum is expected to be brought to the Knesset for a first reading on Wednesday. Because the bill only relates to sovereign land, the government will not have to hold a referendum to sign a treaty giving parts of the West Bank to the Paleostinians. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... if a peace deal includes land swaps or parts of Jerusalem, it would require a popular vote.
#1
Why in the name of all that's holy is the American Secretary of State demanding that Israeli criminals be released in order to get the Palestinian Authority closer to the negotiating table?
#3
So, if Israel releases the prisoners to start the peace process, and the peace process fails, as it always has, does Israel get to take the prisoners back?
I didn't think so. The negotiations will go like they always do: the Palestinians will make demands. The Israelis will make concessions. The Palestinians will make new demands. The Israelis will balk and ultimately walk away. Everyone will blame the Israelis for being unreasonable.

... and to become famous. If it costs Israeli security or our money what does it matter to Kerry.
Philippine security forces Sunday captured a woman who is one of the country's most wanted communist guerrillas. Police said Maria Loida Magpatoc is the secretary of the New People's Army's Far South Mindanao Regional Committee, and has oustanding arrest warrants for homicide and destruction of property.
She sounds like quite a secretary.
She an executive secretary, so she does the higher level executioning.
She was arrested in a joint military-police operation in the city of Digos on Mindanao.
The national police described Magpatoc as one of the country's "most wanted" insurgents with a reward of $130,000 offered for her capture.s
Debka: Three months after winning the strategic town of Al Qusayr, the combined Syrian and Hizballah armies have captured the historic Muslim Brotherhood city of Homs, 162 kilometers northeast of the capital Damascus.
Sunday, July 28, jeeps with recoilless guns, pick-up trucks with anti air guns - all loaded with defeated rebel Farouq Brigades fighters were to be seen fleeing the city. As they fled, Syrian and Hizballah army tanks facing no resistance rolled into the center of Homs, the old city and the Khladiyeh district and hoisted images of President Bashar Assad.
The fall of Homs, which the rebels designated from the start of the uprising capital of the revolution, opens the way for Syrian-Hizballah forces to move north on Aleppo, Syrias largest city.
Early Monday, Syrian ground-to-ground missiles were pounding rebel fortifications Aleppo to soften their resistance, while Syrian air force helicopters struck Kurdish PYG units ranged along the Syrian-Turkish border. Although the helicopters flew over the frontier, they did not run into any interference from the Turkish air force, its artillery emplacements or the NATO Patriot anti-missile batteries deployed there.
The Kurdish units were targeted to prevent them moving into Aleppo in defense of the citys Kurdish quarters against the Syrian army-Hizballah advance.
After the fall of Homs and the fast approaching Syrian assault on Aleppo, Washington, Jerusalem and Ankara have run out of time for quibbling whether to step into the Syrian conflict. The critical decision facing them now is whether to save Aleppo from a savage Syrian army-Hizballah onslaught that will determine the final fate of the war, or continue to stand aside.

Israeli air force jets bombed trucks carrying Syrian missiles bound for Hizbullah's warehouses in Lebanon, according to Syrian opposition sources. The sources, were cited Sunday by Voice of Israel radio's Arabic-language service, which was quoted by i24 News.
The Friday night bombing reportedly targeted a Syrian military base near the town of Quneitra, not far from the Golan Heights cease-fire line.
This was the fifth known Israeli attack this year on Syrian weapons bound for Hizbullah. Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad reportedly wants to send the weapons to Hizbullah for safekeeping, out of fears they will fall into the hands of the rebels forces fighting him inside Syria, whilst the Iranian-backed terrorist group seeks "game changing weapons" - such as anti-aircraft missiles - in exchange for its costly intervention in the Syrian civil war on behalf of the Syrian regime.
