[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Abdul Rashid Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... , political figure and leader of Uzbek community in Afghanistan accuses Mohammad Karim Khalili, a Hazara ...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets... leader for having secret ties with Pakistain.
In an online meeting among the anti-Taliban ...Arabic for students... figures, Abdul Rashid Dostum criticized the absence of Mohammad Karim Khalili in the meeting and accused him for having secret ties with Pakistain.
Mohammad Karim Khalili has received money from Pakistain to stay ’silent’ against the Taliban, Abdul Rashid Dostum said in the meeting which was held on the death anniversary of former Afghanistan's Caped President, Burhanuddin Rabbani ... the gentlemanly murdered legitimate president of Afghanistan... Mohammad Karim Khalili has shown reactions to Dostum’s statement and has asked the Uzbek leader to apologize for his words.
Khalili has written on his Facebook page that his political party believes that war and violence is not the solution of Afghanistan’s crisis and the country needs to switch from a centralized system to a fully decentralized administration system through negotiations.
This comes as the majority of political figures in Afghanistan are living outside after the intra-Afghan peace negotiations failed and the country fell in the hands of Taliban last August.
The world did not recognize the Taliban’s government which was taken by force and asked the Taliban to form an inclusive administration having all other ethnic and religious groups in the circle, but the Taliban has not showed any positive intention to include others in the government.
The political parties and figures who are not included in the Taliban’s administration and the majority of them live outside Afghanistan are trying to form an anti-Taliban alliance with the presence of the National Resistance® Front led by Ahmad Massoud, the son of the former Jihadi leader Ahmad Shah Massoud.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Deputy Foreign Minister of the National Salvation Government of Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... , Hussein al-Ezzi, has on Wednesday said that "the foreign ambitions around Yemen are great and dangerous, which requires us building a striking military force."
Al-Ezzi indicated that "The honourable numbers that have completed their training are not enough," referring to the troops participating in the recent military parade.
He called for continuing to build "a military force equal in strength to the population of at least three Gulf countries."

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] The lawyer of Daud Mamilov, a native of Ingushetia, who was found guilty of involvement in the activities of the Islamic State and sentenced to eight years, in addition to the appeal, said that there was no evidence of her client's guilt, and the sentence was unfounded.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in August 2020, the Court of Appeal in Moscow agreed with the arguments of the lawyers of Daud Mamilov, a native of Ingushetia, recognizing the inaction of the investigation in his case. After that, the case of Mamilov, accused of involvement in the terrorist organization "Islamic State," was transferred to a new investigator. In September 2020, Mamilov announced that he was forced to confess. On July 19, Mamilov was found guilty of involvement in the activities of ISIS* and sentenced to eight years in a penal colony. Lawyer Lyudmila Tolstonogova filed an appeal.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] Two minor children of Azerbaijani citizens killed in Syria were handed over to relatives. The children lived in an orphanage in Turkey for a year and a half, said a representative of the Turkish Humanitarian Aid Fund.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on September 10, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported that 12 Azerbaijani citizens were repatriated from Syria , including children left without parents. All of them were held in the Amerna camp in the Syrian city of Jerablus. On 28 May, two adults and nine children were also repatriated from the Jarabulus refugee camp.
The juvenile brother and sister, who were placed in an orphanage in Turkey after their parents were killed in Syria, were handed over to their relatives, haqqin.az reports today.
An 11-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl lived in an orphanage for a year and a half, before which they were noticed by employees of the Turkish Humanitarian Aid Fund during the distribution of aid in the Jerablus region.
"These children were placed in our orphanage. We contacted officials in Azerbaijan on this issue. The necessary information was provided regarding the children and an investigation was launched. As a result, we managed to contact the uncles and aunts of the children," Mehmet Altintash, an employee of the foundation, quoted the agency as saying. .
The Azerbaijani authorities are repatriating from Iraq and Syria children and women from the families of people who once went to fight in these countries as part of various armed formations, Tofig Turkel, a columnist for the Turan agency, said earlier. "After the return of children without parents, they are usually given to close relatives - on the paternal or maternal side. Usually such children are taken away by uncles, aunts or grandparents. If there are none, then the children are given to orphanages," he said.

[AlAhram] Gun battles in central Nablus, with young Paleostinians fighting police and setting blazes that shut the city down, signal growing chaos in the northern West Bank that could spiral out of control.
The city centre's transformation into a combat zone happened with little overt warning. On Saturday, shoppers darted peacefully through bustling downtown markets.
But early on Tuesday the Paleostinian Authority's security forces carried out a rare operation to arrest a prominent member of the Islamist group Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, Moussab Shtayyeh, enraging many in Nablus, who accuse the PA of being Israeli pawns and tacitly accepting the occupation of the West Bank.
Shortly after the arrest, central Nablus was a no-go zone. Youths hurled stones at PA armoured trucks and lit fires on the streets as the sound of gunfire rang through the city.
AFP spoke to several people in Nablus, most of whom requested anonymity, fearing retribution if they criticised the PA and its 87-year-old president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... , whose popularity in the West Bank has slumped to historic lows.
"There is tension because of Moussab Shtayyeh's arrest by the Paleostinian forces and we are targeting them because they are coordinating with the Israeli occupation forces," said Hamza, a young man in his 20s.
A young Paleostinian journalist, who declined to give his name, said that beyond Shtayyeh's arrest, "deeper" factors had fuelled Tuesday's violence.
He said the young people fighting the PA were not linked to the Islamist groups Hamas or Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , nor were they disenchanted members of Abbas's secular Fatah movement.
"They are young Paleostinians, part of a new generation that isn't under anyone's thumb who are angry at both Israel and the Paleostinian Authority."
'THE LION OF NABLUS'
The northern West Bank has seen near daily unrest in recent months but that has typically involved Israeli occupation army and Paleostinian fighters.
Israel has conducted hundreds of raids in the occupied West Bank since March, pursuing Death Eaters it accuses of involvement in a spate of deadly attacks on Israelis.
Dozens of Paleostinians have been killed in the Israeli raids that have hit several towns and cities, including Nablus and especially nearby Jenin, a historic Death Eater stronghold.
Among those killed was an 18-year-old fighter named Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, who since his death in August has become a social media folk hero, nicknamed the "Lion of Nablus".
An image of him -- with his square jaw, black beard and assault rifle in his hand -- adorns pendants on sale at Nablus markets, and his picture is pasted on the windshields of scooters buzzing through the city.
His mother Huda, her head wrapped in a pure white scarf surrounded by pictures of her late son, said "when he was younger, Ibrahim was gentle."
"He loved design," she said. "But the injustice that surrounded him brought him to the other side."
His father Alaa said the relentless Israeli raids on their communities made young Paleostinians feel abandoned by the PA.
"The young generation is not crazy but they grew up under the occupation, all they know is raids and injustice and it has left them deeply angry," he said.
"The increase in Israeli raids in Jenin and Nablus weakens the Paleostinian Authority and creates further distance between the PA and the population," he told AFP, avoiding direct criticism of the Paleostinian president.
AFTER ABBAS
It was not immediately clear why the PA moved to arrest Shtayyeh and Amid Tbaileh, another Hamas member detained with him.
But Israel regularly calls on the PA to take firmer action in areas of the West Bank nominally under its control, notably cities like Nablus.
Last week, after two Paleostinians and an Israeli soldier were killed in festivities near Jenin, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said he would "not hesitate to act in any place that the Paleostinian Authority does not maintain order".
Writing in the Israeli newspaper Maariv, leading security commentator Alon Ben David said the flurry of army raids had "further eroded the challenged status of the Paleostinian Authority", with conditions ripe for a new intifada, or uprising, like those of 1987 to 1991 and 2000 to 2005.
"Israeli officials have been talking for years about the need to prepare for the day after Abu Mazen (Abbas)... but practically speaking that day is already here," he said, arguing that the president's authority is minimal and succession battles are already brewing.
The mix of intra-Paleostinian violence and anti-Israeli resentment "is liable to turn into a new Paleostinian intifada that is growing before our eyes, Intifada 3.0," he said.
Uh huh. Suuuuuure it will. They keep trying, but the yoots know they can’t win.
[An Nahar] A Higher Judicial Council meeting to name an alternate judge in the Beirut port blast case witnessed heated disputes that reached the extent of the withdrawal of Council chief Judge Suheil Abboud from the session, a media report said on Wednesday.
The session was adjourned to September 27 in order to take a decision on six candidates proposed for the task, including Judge Samaranda Nassar, al-Liwaa newspaper reported, describing Tuesday’s meeting as the longest in the Council’s history.
Families of detainees in the case meanwhile rallied outside the Justice Palace, threatening to escalate their protests and vowing that they will no longer remain silent over the continued detention of their relatives.
They also stressed that they want an alternate judge in the case because "there is no other solution" to secure the release of their relatives, noting that "this solution was decided by the justice minister and the Higher Judicial Council, who are the two authorities eligible to settle this file."
The controversial decision to name an alternate judge in the case, in violation of the law according to some experts, had infuriated the relatives of the victims of the blast, calling the move an attempt by the country's political class to prevent justice after one of the world's largest non-nuclear explosions.
The investigation into the blast, which killed 218 people, injured thousands and caused billions of dollars in damage has been blocked since December by Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... 's political powers. That's after three former Cabinet ministers filed legal challenges against investigative Judge Tarek Bitar effectively suspending his investigations as well as his ability to look into requests for the release of the detainees.
Many blame the tragedy on the Lebanese government's longtime corruption, but the elite's decades-old lock on power has ensured they are untouchable. The Aug. 4, 2020 explosions occurred when hundreds of tons of highly explosive ammonium nitrate, a material used in fertilizers, detonated at the port.
It later emerged that the ammonium nitrate had been shipped to Lebanon in 2013 and stored improperly at a port warehouse ever since. Senior political and security officials knew of its presence but did nothing.
Bitar has been the subject of harsh criticism by Lebanon's powerful Hezbollah leader Sayyed His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... . Nasrallah called Bitar's investigation a "big mistake" and said it was biased. He asked authorities to remove Bitar.
Bitar is the second judge to take the case. The first judge, Fadi Sawwan, was forced out after complaints of bias by two Cabinet ministers. If the same happens to Bitar, it could be the final blow to the investigation.
Bitar charged four former senior government officials with intentional killing and negligence that led to the deaths of dozens of people. He also charged several top security officials in the case.

a number of people in Obama's admin tried to find this fatwa and were not able to do so
all they found were indirect references to it (which was good enough for them since they wanted to suck up anyway)

They’ve been saying that for years, but taqqiya is a thing. But there are holes in it big enough to drive a truck through.
Are there other and/or subsequent fatwas demanding nuclear weapons?
Will they continue working on current projects until putting together the pieces on the workbench inexplicably results in a nuclear weapon?
Is this a fatwa the author of which did not intend to be followed?
Is this, as Lord Garth seems to be suggesting, an imaginary or vapourware fatwa, which only exists as signs point at nothing?
And of course there is the fact that the CIA lied when they claimed in 2003 that Iran had stopped all work toward nukes. So if there is such a fatwa in the record, it doesn’t matter.
#3
They simply couldn't have made nukes then, without being desert stormed and pounded into shit by America and allies. They were seeing what you did to Iraq that year. So the ayatollahs spouted nonsense about nukes being unislamic and there being no intention of developing WMDs.

Of course they still kept at it secretly. Being moslems they are commanded by Allan to say one thing and do another to suit their ends. And nothing shall stop them, short of regime changes, total economic meltdown and political carnage in the streets.
