Afghanistan
Over 200 Suspected Insurgents Arrested In Parwan
In less than a week 210 suspected insurgents have been arrested in Parwan province while on their way to northern Afghanistan, officials confirmed.

According to Parwan Governor Mohammad Asem, 16 of the arrested men have been found to have links with terrorist groups. In addition, 150 of the group claim to not know why they are traveling to the north.

Asem said that most of the arrested people are from southern and southeastern provinces of Afghanistan, and were on their way to Kunduz, Takhar and Faryab provinces.

"This thing happened last year as well. I myself heard that a large number of people went to northern parts of the country in convoys of vehicles and there were two, three to four people in every vehicle and when the vehicles returned there were only the drivers in them and no one else. It is not clear which part of northern Afghanistan those people went to," he added.

He said however a full investigation is being conducted into the situation.

Bahauddin Jailani, the chairman of Parwan provincial council, meanwhile said that if government failed to take action against the influx of suspected fighters in northern Afghanistan, a repeat of last year's Kunduz crisis could happen in other provinces.

"Definitely, these people wanted to join militants' ranks in northern parts of the country. I have clearly said that if they were not restrained, these suspected people, with the help of the circles who are trying to mount insecurity in Afghanistan, could become a threat for all the people of Afghanistan," he added.

It is said that most of the arrested people are youth.

"They are telling us they want to go to the north, but don't know who they are going to meet. Today (on Sunday) we also arrested ten people who wanted to go to Kunduz and Takhar provinces," said Ziaur Rahman Fayez Sayedkhili, the security chief of Parwan police headquarters.

Although there are a large number of check posts on the highway to northern Afghanistan, these people are believed to be trying to get to the battleground to join the Taliban militants.

During the fall of the Kunduz last year, it is believed the most of the militants had come from other provinces.

28 militants killed, 30 wounded as major Taliban attack repulsed in Kunar
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 28 Talibs were killed and 30 others were maimed as the Afghan cops repulsed a major offensive by the Taliban group in eastern Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
According to the local officials, scores of Taliban murderous Moslems launched the attack in the early hours of Saturday to take control of security posts in Ghaziabad district.

The provincial governor Wahidullah Kalimzai however said the attack was launched late on Friday night and continued for several hours.

He said a member of the Afghan National Army lost his life and three others were maimed in the attack.

The Taliban group front man Zabiullah Mujahid has claimed that two Talibs were killed and five others were maimed during the shootout with the Afghan forces.

Mujahid also claimed that eleven soldiers of the Afghan National Army were killed and several others were maimed during the clash.

Kunar is among the volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed forces of Evil are actively operating in its various districts.

The province is also home of various foreign murderous Moslems as they are routinely crossing the Durand Line from the tribal regions of Pakistain to stage attacks.

The coordinated attack on security posts in Kunar comes as the Taliban group announced its summer offensive earlier last month and vowed to carry out more attacks across the country.

Horrific video shows Taliban publicly killing woman over adultery
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A horrific video has emerged online which purportedly shows the execution of a woman by the Talibs in northern Jawzjan province.

The woman was reportedly executed in Khanqa village in Aqcha district with the footage showing the woman is forced to kneel in a dessert before she is rubbed out.

The execution is carried out by a Taliban bully boy who has covered his face with a scarf and shooting the woman with an Ak-47 rifle from behind.
O brave, brave Lion of Islam!
The local officials have not commented regarding the report so far to confirm the exact date and location of the incident.

The brutal killing of the woman refreshes the savagery of the group while they were ruling the country in early 90s.

The group executed a woman in a stadium in capital Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
in a similar way which sparked international condemnation.

The group still continues to try convicts in desert courts in areas where they have influence and publicly execute the convicts after they are awarded death sentence.

The latest video is followed amid concerns by the rights organizations that the condition of the women in northern parts of the country is rapidly getting worse amid deteriorating security situation.

The family that terrorizes together...
[AnNahar] A Moroccan court has sentenced the younger brother of suspected Gay Paree attacks ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud to two years in prison on charges including justifying terrorism, state media reported.

According to his lawyer, Yassine Abaaoud was unaware of the activities of his brother, who was killed in a French police raid just days after the November 13 attacks that killed 130 people in Gay Paree.

Benghazi demonstrators killed as militants shell pro-LNA rally
Benghazi, 6 May 2016:

Five people, including a woman and a child, were killed this afternoon when shells were fired into demonstration in Benghazi’s Kish Square late this afternoon. Some 40 people were injured, with conditions varying from critical to mild.

The attack is being blamed on the so-called Islamic State and is seen as linked to the Libyan National Army’s advance towards Sirte to liberate it and crush IS.

The demonstrators – numbers are put at no more than a few dozen – had gathered in Kish Square this afternoon in support of the LNA and to protest against both the Government of National Accord in Tripoli and any foreign interference in Libya. Four mortars were then fired into the demonstration.

According to a spokesperson for the city’s Jalaa Hospital, it received five bodies, including those of a woman and a young boy. These were then sent to the Benghazi Medical Centre.

Meanwhile, security sources say that the building from which the mortars were fired was pinpointed and aircraft sent to attack it. These, however, then came under anti-aircraft fire although none was hit.

The head of Benghazi Security Directorate, Mustafa Al-Ragig, who went to Kish Square after the attack has hailed the dead and wounded as “martyrs and heroes”, saying that the LNA would not be deterred from attacking IS. “We are at the gate of Sirte,” he said. “Nothing will stop us. We will continue,” he declared.

Arabia
Suspected bombers die in Soddy security operation
The Saudi Ministry of Interior revealed yesterday that an operation carried out by security forces in the Makkah region resulted in two terrorists being killed and two others blowing themselves up. It has become clear that the four terrorists were part of a cell involved in the bombing of five mosques in eastern and southern Arabia.

Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman Major General Mansour Al-Turki explained that the security services swooped on and besieged the terrorist cell’s hideout which was located in Wadi Noman between the holy city of Makkah and the city of Taif in the Makkah province. This led to two terrorists being killed and two others blowing themselves up with suicide belts. After searching the cell’s hideout, special security forces defused 15 explosive devices that were found there, and seized four guns, two pistols, safes and a wide range of ammunition.

Informed sources that Asharq Al-Awsat spoke to suggested that previous operations carried out by security forces revealed the existence of a cluster of cells that ISIS is preparing. This is contrary to the “lone wolves” who have previously operated in the region.

Meanwhile, the Makkah Region Police announced the “martyrdom” of one of its employees who used to work at the Al-Qaree police station in the province of Taif. Corporal Khalaf bin Lafi Al-Harithi was killed whilst he was working at the police station on Thursday night, and police said that he was shot at by an unknown source which resulted in his “martyrdom”. Police did not disclose whether the murder was a criminal act or a terrorist one that targeted security officials after they swooped on the terrorist cell hideout in Wadi Noman.

He last went to Singapore in December last year as he worked there on and off as a draftsman in a local construction company, on an S Pass, which allows mid-level skilled staff to work in Singapore.

In the meantime, the 31-year-old had also become deeply radicalised, The Straits Times reported.

A month after he arrived in Singapore, he began recruiting followers among his countrymen working here, with the help of material linked to terror groups Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and al-Qaeda.

By March, he had set up a clandestine group called Islamic State in Bangladesh (ISB). The group had an organization structure with specific roles for its members: leader, deputy leader, and persons in charge of duties like finance, the Home Affairs Ministry said Wednesday.

The Grand Turk
PKK bomb-maker captured in Istanbul
An outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militant who was captured on May 3 at a bus station in Istanbul with a fake ID appears to be the militant who made the bomb used in the group’s deadly attack in the Silvan district of the southeastern province of Diyarbakır late last year, police have said.

Police said the militant, identified as Y.A., was detained after he arrived at the Harem bus station in Istanbul. The suspect, who was carrying a fake ID with a name “Diyar Doğan” at the time of his capture, was reportedly wanted for 11 different counts and was the militant who made the bomb used in the Dec. 15, 2015, Silvan attack.

In the attack, which took place while an armored vehicle was passing on the Diyarbakır-Silvan motorway, police chief Ahmet Kabukçu, Mustafa Nohut, a special police force member, and official Nuri Yazaner were killed and two other officers were wounded.

The suspect was also allegedly preparing bomb set-ups in the Sur district of Diyarbakır and allegedly came to Istanbul from Diyarbakır to assist the preparations of a potential large-scale attack.

Prime suspect in Parveen Rehman murder case arrested
[DAWN] KARACHI: The prime suspect in Parveen Rehman's murder, Raheem Swati, has been locked away
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
by Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
police, said a statement released Saturday.

Following the Supreme Court of Pakistain's directives, a special police team was formed under orders from DIG West Feroz Shah. Under the supervision of SSP West, SP Orangi was selected to lead the operation to nab Swati, added the statement.

Swati had eight cell phone SIM cards registered under his name, which he had used at different times, although all were non-operational, claim police.

The police party received an intelligence tip-off regarding Swati's presence in the Manghopir area of the metropolis.

A raid was conducted at the given location, and Swati was arrested. Police claim to have recovered a 9mm pistol and a hand grenade from his possession.

Swati has been booked under Section 353, 324 and 34 of the Pakistain Penal Code (PPC) and also under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (7-ATA).

Hunt for Parveen's murderers
Parveen Rehman, a media-shy social worker who devoted her life to the development of the impoverished neighbourhoods across the country, was bumped off near her office in Orangi Town on March 13, 2013. The very next day, police potted a Taliban operative named Qari Bilal in an encounter and claimed that he was the murderer, resulting in closure of the case.

The Supreme Court of Pakistain on April 15, 2014 ordered the authorities to conduct a fresh probe into the murder after a judicial inquiry revealed that coppers had manipulated the investigation.

One of the two prime suspects in her murder, Rahim Swati, was described by police in the Supreme Court last year as "a very shrewd character" who "keeps on changing his cell numbers as well as IMEIs [international mobile equipment identity]." His son, Imran, was already arrested in the case.

The other prime suspect in the case, Ahmed Khan alias Pappu Kashmiri was arrested from Mansehra
...a city and an eponymous district in eastern Khyber-Pakthunwa, nestled snug up against Pak Kashmir, with Kohistan and Diamir to the north and Abbottabad to the south...
in March 2015.

The police report last year said Rahim was associated with turbans and the Taliban and during the past insurgency, he along with his family moved to some unknown place, while his house was demolished by the security forces.

#2  You won't find out because the SAS is so black no one knows much of anything about who they are or what they do. I think they brief the PM AFTER they've pulled a raid rather than before.

Their security is about as tight as it gets.

And you can bet that they are interrogating the piss out of these clowns...waterboarding is NOT off the table for the SAS.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel strikes Hamas targets in Gaza after rocket fire on south
[IsraelTimes] Terror group claims IAF raid hit brickworks in Khan Younis, but witnesses say Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, military wing struck, causing significant damage

Israeli fighter jets struck Hamas targets in the southern Gazoo Strip early Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces said, following rocket fire from the Paleostinian enclave at an Israeli population center close to the border.

"Earlier today... a rocket was fired from the Gazoo Strip at southern Israel," an IDF statement read. "In response... aircraft targeted two Hamas terror infrastructures in the southern Gazoo Strip."

It was Israel’s fifth series of Arclight airstrikes since Wednesday, when tensions spiraled over IDF efforts to locate attack tunnels dug by Hamas from Gazoo into Israeli territory.
The one reported yesterday was the fourth -- I double checked to make sure this story was not a duplicate.
One of the two rockets fired from Gazoo landed in an open area of the Eshkol regional council overnight Friday-Saturday. The second fell close to the border fence, Army Radio said. There were no injuries or damage reported in either strike. Air raid sirens sounded across the region as the rockets were fired.

Hamas security sources said the IAF raid hit two brickworks in the southern city of Khan Younis, causing damage but no casualties. But witnesses said two missiles hit a base of Hamas’s military wing east of the city, causing significant damage.

The incident comes after the IAF carried out raids on Hamas targets in the Strip on Friday, following mortar fire directed at IDF soldiers earlier in the day, in tit-for-tat exchanges of fire between Hamas and Israel. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
8 Iranian troops die in fighting against Kurds
[ARA News] ERBIL ــ The Peshmerga of Iranian Kurdistan [a Kurdish rebel group active in Iran’s northwest] started on Wednesday an armed campaign against key positions for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in several villages in the vicinity of the mainly Kurdish city of Sardasht north-west of the country, informed sources reported.
Why? Do they not have enough existential fights on their hands already?
These are the Iranian Kurds, not the Iraqi or Syrian or Turkish or Azerbaijani Kurds. Completely different thing.
The Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Iran attacked headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in the villages of Hamran, Myouni, and Sartaja [administratively linked to the township of Sardasht]. The Iranian forces received additional military reinforcements to the region in a bid to face the unexpected fierce offensive by the Kurdish rebel group.

Speaking to ARA News in Sardasht, Kurdish journalist Saman Sardashti said that the recent fighting between the Kurdish rebels and the Iranian forces left dozens of dead and wounded in the ranks of the latter.

The clashes were focused in the area of Ribad near the city of Sardasht [southwest of Lake Urmia] in the Urmia province, a mainly Kurdish area in north-western Iran.

The Kurdish journalist revealed that at least eight Iranian troops were killed and 60 more were wounded during the Peshmerga-led attack. “Three of the dead militants were Iranian Kurds who were fighting alongside Iranian government forces,” he told ARA News.

“Members of the Peshmerga forces had returned to their bases, without reports of casualties in their ranks despite Iranian use of various kinds of weapons, including tanks, guns, helicopters, armors,” according to Sardashti.

The commander of the military wing of the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) in Iran, Hossein Yazdan Banna, had announced earlier that the Kurdish force will soon resume its military operations against the Iranian government forces, pointing out that “Iran is to face a wide armed uprising”.

“After a break of ten years, our armed cells in the Iranian Kurdistan, namely the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK), began their military operations against Iranian forces,” Banna said in a statement two weeks ago.

Speaking to ARA News in Tehran, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Kermanshah said: “Resuming the fight against Iran has come late but it was inevitable; the situation in eastern Kurdistan [Iranian Kurdistan] has become unbearable, especially with the daily arbitrary executions against the Kurds.”

“Iranian authorities continue their campaign of arrests and harassment against our people in the eastern part of Kurdistan,” he said.

Kermanshah expressed his fear that “the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) may hinder the PAK-led operations against Iranian authorities due to the PKK’s good relations with Tehran which provides the group [PKK] with remarkable support.”

Kurdish organizations and political parties say that the Iranian authorities are cracking down on the Kurds in Iran and prevent them from practicing their legitimate national rituals and cultural rights.

ISIS executes 1 in Aleppo
[ARA News] ERBIL ــ The extremist group of Islamic State (ISIS) threw a young man off the top of a building in Manbij city in Syria’s northern province of Aleppo for being gay, accusing him of “sodomy”, local sources reported on Saturday.

Local activists confirmed that the man was arrested by the group’s Hisba police on charges of homosexuality and was barbarically thrown from the top of a building in central Manbij.

Speaking to ARA News in Manbij, media activist Nasser Taljbini said that ISIS extremists have sentenced the man to death by throwing him from the top of a building in the city [Manbij], after accusing him of sodomy.

“The man was thrown brutally by ISIS masked members from the top of the building in the city,” Taljbini reported, pointing out “the corpse of the victim was transferred to an unknown destination.”

“The barbaric execution took place in front of hundreds of people,” Taljbini told ARA News.

Before the execution, ISIS called on the residents in Manbij to gather near a building under construction on the road to Aleppo west of the city. An ISIS Sharia member read the verdict against the “unidentified” victim, according to eyewitnesses, who spoke to ARA News on condition of anonymity.

“Throwing gays this way will cleanse their sins” according to ISIS Sharia Court.

“The young man was taken by the masked militants to the top of the building and threw him blindfolded,” an eyewitness said.

Under the banner “Do not reach Allah’s boundaries”, the ISIS-linked Media Center in Aleppo released a new propaganda footage for the execution of the Syrian man, showing pictures of the execution’s stages.

Last October, the terror group had executed two Iraqi civilians in the northwestern Iraqi city of Mosul for being gay. The ISIS militants brutally threw the two young men off a building’s roof under the pretext they were a “gay couple”.

The ISIS-linked Sharia Court had issued a decision to execute every gay man by throwing him from the top of a building, according to eyewitnesses.

The extremist group has executed dozens of allegedly gay men in its areas of control in Syria and Iraq.

Coalition airstrikes neutralize 48 Daesh terrorists
[AA.TR] The Turkish Armed Forces said 48 members of the ISIS terrorist organization were neutralized in Arclight airstrikes in Syria by the international coalition Saturday morning.

F-16 and A-10 coalition warplanes killed 44 ISIS members and injured numerous others in areas including Harjalah, Hawar Kilis, Delha, and Baragitah at 5.47 a.m. (0247GMT), 6.13 a.m., and 7.41 a.m. local time Saturday morning, the Turkish Armed Forces said on the same day.

In separate Arclight airstrikes in the Karakopru region by F-15 warplanes on Saturday, four ISIS members died at 11.45 local time, raising the total corpse count to 48. Gun emplacements and accommodation areas belonging to ISIS were also destroyed.

According to information from national security sources speaking anonymously due to restrictions on talking with the media, the coalition Arclight airstrikes were in response to increasing ISIS attacks against Syrian opposition forces in the northern part of the war-torn country. The coalition Arclight airstrikes forced ISIS to retreat in the region, officials said.

Saturday’s Arclight airstrikes came the same week as Turkish artillery shelled targets in Syria in retaliation for ISIS cross-border rocket attacks on the southeastern city of Kilis.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

has been under indiscriminate rocket attacks from neighboring Syria since mid-January. In the Kilis province alone, the local governor has confirmed that a total of 20 people have been killed and almost 70 others maimed by rockets which have fallen inside Turkish territory.

Syrian regime forces open fire on Hama jail inmates
[AA.TR] Anadolu Agency has obtained video footage from local activists that purportedly shows Assad regime forces firing on prison inmates at Hama’s main prison facility.

In the video, regime forces are shown shooting and hurling gas bombs at inmates and setting fire to parts of the prison.

Inmates, who were able to record the events on mobile phones, have called on the Red Thingy and the international community to intervene on their behalf.

Chaos erupted at the prison earlier this week when inmates refused to hand over five political detainees that the regime was intending to execute.

In the ensuing riot, regime forces besieged the facility, using teargas against prisoners.

During the melee, inmates managed to capture a brigadier general and two other officers, along with other security personnel.

The two officers were later released following negotiations in which the prison authorities promised to free 200 political detainees.

Hama’s central prison facility, which is operated by Syria’s Assad regime, currently houses an estimated 1,000 political prisoners.

Last year, inmates of the same prison staged a similar riot, citing mistreatment by the prison authorities.

Security forces responded with teargas before eventually deescalating the situation.
