[ToloNews] At least 10 civilians were allegedly killed in a foreign forces operation in Tagab district of Kapisa province on Sunday night, local officials said Monday.
Mahfoz Safi, the provincial council’s deputy chief, said the incident occurred on Sunday night in the Badrab village during a foreign forces operation against Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... and as a result non-combatants were killed.
According to Safi, children and women were also among the victims and three others were maimed in the incident.
Safi said that all the victims were residents of the area.
However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... Resolute Support rejected the claims of civilian casualties and in a statement to TOLOnews said: "During an Afghan army operation in Kapisa, the Afghan forces came under fire from a local mobilization militia. The Afghan army requested air support. US helicopters were present to provide the support and immediately came under fire from the local militia and returned fire in self-defense, resulting in the wounding of six militia. As the fog of war lifted and it became clear the militia had fired in error, the maimed militia members were airlifted and they are currently receiving treatment in a US hospital. We have no indication of non-combatant casualties," said Commander Grant Neeley, a US Forces ‐ Afghanistan front man.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella went down under the weight of the custard... the Kapisa provincial governor’s front man confirmed an operation was carried out in the Tagab district but did not confirm the killing of civilians.

"During this operation, eight members of a family were killed in just an Arclight airstrike," Sharif Hotak, a member of the provincial council said.
Maidan Wardak officials rejected the claims of civilian casualties and said that the operation was launched against a Taliban prison in which eight security forces were freed from the jail.
Ministry of Defense also said the Afghan National Army launched the operation against Taliban in which the group suffered heavy fatalities.
Security forces said they destroyed a Taliban prison and released a number of soldiers who had been held in the illegal prison for the last two months.
"800 Taliban fighters had attacked us. In that attack, I was injured and then tossed in the clink Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! by Taliban," Fazl Subhan, a freed soldier said.
"We were seven soldiers, I was maimed and then the enemy arrested me," Moalem Khan, another freed soldier said.

The blast took place in Shortepa district of the province after a police vehicle hit a roadside mine, the district governor, Mohammad Karim said.
"The condition of the maimed people is good, and they were taken to the hospital quickly," he said.

But who cares who blows up with those bombs, right?
[AlAhram] Egypt’s Court of Cassation upheld the life imprisonment and death penalty sentences Monday handed to 135 people over the assaults on security forces in the town of Kerdasa in 2013.
The court rejected the appeals presented by the defendants over a criminal court sentence from July 2017, which saw 20 defendants sentenced to death, life sentences handed out to 80 defendants.
The attack on the Kerdasa cop shoppe, which saw 12 coppers and two civilians killed and their bodies mutilated, followed the forced and dispersal of sit-ins in support of ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in Cairo in August 2013 that left hundreds dead and sparked nationwide unrest.
The case has been making its rounds in the court system since 2014, with a criminal court initially sentencing 188 defendants, some in absentia, to death.

Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... military source said Yemeni air defense forces and their allies shot down the drone as it was on a reconnaissance mission north of the al-Durayhimi district on Monday afternoon.

[AnNahar] Two migrants colonists, a Syrian and an Algerian national found in possession of firearms were locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! in the Bosnian capital at the weekend, police said Monday.
It was the first time that police found weapons with migrants colonists who have been passing through the Balkan country in growing numbers since the start of the year as they head towards western Europe.
"For the time being we do not know what they were planning to do with (the weapons)," a police spokeswoman told AFP.
"The two men tried to flee when police asked them for documents but they were quickly arrested," spokeswoman Suvada Kuldija said.
The arrests were carried out on Sunday evening.
Police searched several locations linked to the two where they found and seized a "rifle, four guns, a silencer and more than 100 bullets of different calibres," the spokeswoman added.
The 34-year-old Syrian national was officially registered with the authorities in charge of migrants colonists, while police were verifying the status of the 23-year-old Algerian.
Since the start of the year, 15,000 migrants colonists trying to reach western Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... have been registered in Bosnia, a minister said Sunday.
So far the influx does not compare with the hundreds of thousands who arrived in Europe via the 'Balkans Route' in 2015 and 2016, fleeing war and poverty across Africa and the Middle East.
The route was effectively closed in March 2016.
Now, most of the migrants colonists, who enter Bosnia from Serbia or Montenegro, stay for a few days in Sarajevo before heading towards the northwestern town of Bihac.
Bihac is on the border with Europan Union member Croatia, where they try to sneak into the bloc.
Since the 1990s wars that marked the collapse of Yugoslavia, the Balkans have been considered a centre for arms trafficking.
Jihadists who have carried out attacks in western Europe in recent years are also believed to have passed through.
[KTLA] A Salinas man was charged with four felony counts after being found with two homemade bombs in his vehicle at a traffic stop in Brea on Tuesday night, authorities said.
Saleh Ali, 47, was charged Thursday with intent to unlawfully make a destructive device, two counts of possession of a destructive device, and the sale and transportation of a destructive device, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office announced Friday. But they were Peace IEDs. Made with Love Shrapnel.
The DA’s office described the bombs as “improvised explosive devices,” and said they were “containers covered in shrapnel.”
The devices were taken by an Orange County sheriff’s bomb squad and Ali was arrested and put in Orange County Jail. Police said Thursday his bail was set at $500,000.
If convicted as charged, Ali will receive a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison.
He is due in court for a pre-trial hearing on Friday, Sept. 28.

To whom was it to have been sold?
Nothing about the "T" word?

No evidence they are willing to tell us, or no evidence they are willing to see?
Name not found in the ISIS table of organization seems to have become the meaning of that. All troubled Muslims who self-radicalize via the internet, or simply give in to the voices in their heads and run amok now fall into that category.

Salinas is several hundred miles north of Orange County - this is reminiscent of the Bataclan theatre attack in Paris, where weapons supply came from operatives in Belgium, and the operatives then returned to Belgium after the attack. What are the muslim demographics of Salinas?
[DAWN] GWADAR: Two bullet-riddled bodies were found in the Hoshab Thal area of the Kech district.

The dead were identified as Ghous Bakhsh and Sahil. Both were handed over to the family after autopsy. According to sources, the two were targeted from close range with injuries to the head and chest area.
Locals claimed that both victims were kidnapped by gunnies five day ago from the Hoshab area of Kech district.
MISSING PERSON
Amir Muhammad, a resident of the area, returned home on Sunday after he went missing four years ago from a bazaar in the Kech district. "We are delighted to see him alive after four long years," family members said.

[PRESSTV] A total of five suspected Death Eaters and one Indian soldier have been killed in fierce fighting in Kashmire over the past two days, the Indian army says, amid an escalation of violence in the disputed territory following the cancelation of high-level talks between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an Indian army front man said three Death Eaters and one Indian soldier were killed in a shootout along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmire on Monday.
The front man also said two other Death Eaters had earlier been killed in a shootout which began on Sunday after government troops noticed suspicious movement near the LoC ‐ the de facto border that separates the disputed Kashmire region between nuclear-armed rivals Pakistain and India.
The Indian army announced that the operation was still in progress.
The fatalities took place days after New Delhi pulled the plug on a meeting between its foreign minister and her Pak counterpart set for next week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, just 24 hours after saying it would go ahead.

[PRESSTV] Israeli soldiers have rubbed out a Paleostinian and maimed some 50 others who had held a protesting rally along the northern coast of the besieged Gazoo Strip in a bid to break the decade-long blockade on the impoverished sliver.
According to a brief statement by Gazoo Health Ministry, the protester, whose identity has not been disclosed yet, lost his life after Israeli troops began shooting live rounds and tear gas canisters at crowds of Gazooks, who had held a rally against the prolonged siege along the coast of al-Wahe district in the northwestern borders of the enclave.
Hundreds of Gazook demonstrators had gathered in the area on Monday afternoon to participate in a boat protest setting off from the Gazoo seaport against the siege, but Israeli navy obstructed the protest’s way off the shore by shooting at them.
The International Committee for Breaking the Siege, which organized the march, called upon the "free world to save the Gazoo Strip," whose fishermen are under crippling fishing limits.
Since inhabitants of Gazoo began staging weekly border protest rallies on March 30, the Israeli regime’s forces have killed more than 180 people and maimed thousands of others.
Paleostinian Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) member taking part in the violent "March of Return" protests on the northern Gazoo border fence near Kibbutz Zikim was rubbed out by IDF fire Monday, Gazoo health officials said.
The IDF said thousands had taken part in the demonstration, throwing burning tires, rocks and bombs at the troops on the other side of the border fence. Soldiers responded with riot dispersal measures according to rules of engagement, a military front man said.
In addition, around 10 Paleostinian boats sailed off the coast to challenge the blockade over the strip, drawing warning shots from the Israeli navy. There were no reports of Paleostinian casualties.

[PhilStar] More security personnel have been deployed in parts of central Mindanao after charges were filed against two Islamic militants implicated in recent bomb attacks.
Police spokesman Graciano Mijares said police in Maguindanao have also asked village leaders to help stop attacks by sympathizers. He said, "We are not taking chances. Our personnel on the ground have also been maximizing their anti-terror intelligence gathering initiatives."
Police have filed multiple murder and multiple frustrated murder charges against more than a dozen Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters for the fatal August 28 and September 2 bombings in Isulan town in Sultan Kudarat. Among those named in the complaint are Esmael Abdulmalik, most known as Abu Toraife, and bomb-maker Salahuddin Hassan.
Abu Toraife is leader of one of three factions in the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters. Hassan, meanwhile, was trained in making improvised explosive devices by slain Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir, better known as Marwan. The two were last spotted holding out in Shariff Saidona town in Maguindanao.
Other than Abu Toraife's faction, the BIFF also has two other factions, one led by Imam Karialan and the other by Imam Bongos.
Local government units in central Mindanao have stepped up efforts against the BIFF, prompted by the bombings in Isulan, in General Santos City and in Midsayap town in North Cotabato in the past three weeks. The IED attack in Barangay Apopong, General Santos City on September 16 hurt eight people, one of them a three-year-old child.
[Ynet] Iran has locked away ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... 22 people in connection with a deadly attack on a military parade in the southern city of Ahvaz last week that Tehran blamed on the United States and its regional allies, the Intelligence Ministry was quoted as saying on Monday.
"Some 22 people involved in the attack in Ahvaz have been identified and arrested ... weapons, exclusive material and communication equipment were seized in the house that belonged to the five-member terrorist group that carried out the attack," a ministry statement said, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Gunmen fired on a viewing stand where Iranian officials had gathered on Saturday to watch an annual parade marking the start of Iran's 1980-88 war with Iraq. Twelve members of Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were among the 25 dead.
