Afghanistan
Turkish Aid Organization Helps 1,000 Destitute Afghan Families
[ToloNews] One thousand needy families in the province of Kabul have received food donations from the Ottoman Turkish organization IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation.
IHH is a Turkish NGO closely affiliated with Recep Tayip Erdogan’s government as well as connected to Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas — the Muslim Brotherhood in the Palestinian Territories. The 2010 Gaza Flotilla one of their major projects aimed at Israel — their people on the Mavi Mara attacked intercepting IDF troops with iron bars.
According to the head of the Ottoman Turkish humanitarian aid organization IHH, Ottoman Turkish citizens and businessmen have donated the aids to the poor residents of Afghanistan.

"This aid was provided so that Afghans could stand on their own. Agriculture accounts for 70% of Afghanistan's economy, and we focus most of our efforts there, particularly on women and orphans," said IHH Country Director, Mucahit Kilic.

"The truly deserving should receive priority, and my second recommendation to the charitable organizations is to not expose the identities of the people who are being aided," said Mujeeb Rahman, the head of a charitable foundation.

Gulnar, 45, a recipient of food aid from the organization, said that she lost her husband and two of her children in a suicide kaboom one year ago. She now lives with her other six children and is in a difficult financial situation.

"I sent my mother, my son and my daughter to Badakhshan province. I told them that I can’t provide them food," Gulnar said.

Like Gulnar, some other families in the country said that they are suffering economic challenges and asked the Islamic Emirate and aid agencies to provide them assistance.

"We ask the government to provide employment opportunities for poor and destitute families, so the people’s problems solved, because people are facing many challenges," said Nabila, a destitute woman.

"My little children are at home, I have nothing left at home," said Sediqa, a destitute woman.

According to IHH representatives, the organization has so far assisted 5,000 Afghan families.

IHH said Ankara has several plans to help the Afghan people, including assisting farmers in several Afghan areas with their agricultural needs.

Herat women complain of street harassment
Eve teasing, Talib style.
[Pajhwok] A number of women in western Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
province have complained of street harassment, calling it the ugliest social interaction.

Masuma, one of Herat inhabitants, told Pajhwok Afghan News: "We cannot wear makeup even for a party outside our homes. Most of the time, we hear unpleasant words."
"That Weber Kettle Cover makes you look hawt! Woot!"
Shakila, another resident of Herat, also grumbled about the hostile social behaviour and street harassment.

Parwin Tufani, a women rights activist muppet, believed street harassment was considered a disgrace and women suffer more from this area.

She called the slightest disturbance to women, — either verbal or physical — as a violation of their rights. She insisted women’s rights must never be abused.

Police front man Mohammad Shah Rasouli said more than a hundred people had been arrested on charges of women’s harassment. Security forces were obliged to investigate the issue and women’s complaints, he added.

Rasouli revealed about 100 individuals had been referred to the attorney-general’s office. He claimed street harassment had decreased recently.

The police front man reaffirmed the government’s commitment to severely punishing those harassing women on streets and creating other forms of chaos.

Armed Robbers Fire at Two Brothers, Killing One in Northwest Afghanistan
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Local sources reported that two brothers were shot at by armed robbers in the Badghis province of northwest Afghanistan. One brother was killed and the other was injured, and the brothers’ motorcycle was taken.

The two brothers were traveling on a motorcycle when they were stopped and cornered by the armed robbers, who then shot at them and stole their motorcycle, according to the sources.

The sources said that the incident took place on Sunday, October 9, when the two brothers were headed to Qala-e-Naw, the provincial capital of Badghis.

Mohammad Usman, whose brother was also wounded, is the victim who passed away after being shot by the armed robbers, according to local media reports.

Local Taliban security officials confirmed the veracity of the news and also stated that two people have been arrested in connection with the robbery that led to murder.

Meanwhile kilometers away from Badghis, unidentified gunmen in the northern Afghan province of Faryab killed a man.

While the Taliban have yet to determine the cause and motive of the criminal act, the perpetrators have fled the crime scene.

This comes as poverty, unemployment, and hunger have skyrocketed in Afghanistan since the Taliban seized power, leading to a significant rise in crime rates and crime victims.

India-Pakistan
Terrorists killed in northwest Pakistan were trained in Afghanistan: Report
[ANI] Terrorists killed in a clash with Pak security forces in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Swat
...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat...
district, were in contact with murderous Moslems in Afghanistan, according to Pak media reports.

Pak agencies revealed that terrorist Anis received special training for bomb manufacturing in Afghanistan's Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
, The Express Tribune reported on Sunday. Another terrorist Ali Syed, who was involved in the Swat attack, also went to the neighbouring country in 2018.

The Pak daily said the country's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has the records of both bully boyz travelling to Afghanistan.

Anis, who also got trained at a camp in 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...
, remained in contact with the TTP Swat commander after returning from the neighbouring and planned for terrorist activity in Swat, according to the Tribune report.

This comes amid growing concerns over the resurgence of activities by the Tehrik-e-Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) across several provinces in Pakistain.

Last week, the Pak senators from both the ruling party and the opposition raised issues about the heightened risk of terrorist attacks by the banned outfit.

Pakistain People's Party (PPP) Senator Raza Rabbani said that a call had been made to take parliament on board regarding the situation of infiltration by the TTP in Pak regions, especially the ones near the border, the Dawn newspaper reported.

"It is the right of the people to know under what conditions dialogue with the group was held and on which point it ended and what threats the country is facing that the ministry is forced to use the alert," he said.

Earlier, other senators had also expressed concern over the increase in terrorist attacks. Pakistain's State Minister for Law Shahadat Hussain conceded that terror activities had witnessed a sharp increase, and stated that members of security forces were geared up to curb the menace.

The highest number of terror incidents in Pakistain this year was recorded in September, said an Islamabad-based think tank pointed to the resumption of attacks by the outlawed TTP.

The number of terror attacks increased in September compared to August this year, the Dawn newspaper reported citing the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS).

September witnessed 42 bully boy attacks with an increase of 35 per cent compared to August. The Pak think tank also observed an increase of 106 per cent in violence in erstwhile Fata and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

In August this year, the think tank said the murderous Moslems carried out 31 attacks across Pakistain, in which 37 people were killed and 55 others injured.

Ahead of 20th anniversary, Bali bombing survivors remember life-changing event
[BenarNews] Twenty years after the Bali bombings, some survivors have come to terms with their injuries and loss of loved ones, and some have forgiven the militants who carried out the attacks that killed 202 people.

But news that Umar Patek, the convict who helped assemble the bombs used in Indonesia’s worst terror attack, may be released on good behavior has angered many.

Ni Luh Erniati, who lost her husband, Gede Badrawan, in the bombings, said she met Umar in the Porong penitentiary in neighboring East Java province on Sept. 23 as part of a government deradicalization program.
