[GEO.TV] Three Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... security personnel were killed when a cycle of violence carrying an bomb blew up near a military vehicle in northern Afghanistan being used in opium poppy eradication operations, an interior ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Protests have roiled several districts in the northern province of Badakhshan where farmers object to Taliban security forces' attempts to wipe out opium cultivation - the backbone of many household incomes in impoverished Afghanistan.
"The explosion took place as the police convoy was passing for the purpose of opium poppy eradication," said interior ministry spokesperson Abdul Matin Qaniee, adding that five other people were maimed.
It was not clear who was behind the attack in the thriving provincial capital Faizabad.
National and local Taliban administration spokespeople had said the previous day that calm had been restored to the protest-hit areas and teams sent from the national and thriving provincial capital had held discussions with locals.
The protests, which began late last week, have resulted in the deaths of two people. The Taliban said they were considering providing financial compensation to the victims' families.
The Taliban have said they are seeking to restore order and security to the war-torn nation after taking over in 2021 as foreign forces withdrew.
Nevertheless, attacks have continued and the local branch of murderous Moslem group ISIS, as well as resistance groups, have claimed attacks on Taliban security forces.

[Cleveland.com] Contractors spray-painted over pro-Palestinian protesters at Case Western Reserve University.
Students are accusing contractors hired by Case Western Reserve University of assault after they were spray-painted while protesting for Palestine.
Students painted the Advocacy and Spirit walls on Monday night with the Palestinian flag and messages that included “I dream of breaking the siege,” “Come together in peace” and the number of Palestinian children killed in Gaza since war between Israel and Hamas broke out in October.
Early Tuesday morning, contractors hired by the college were ordered to paint over the walls because the administration said the messaging was “threatening, intimidating and antisemitic,” according to an email from Eric Kaler, Case’s president.
To stop the contractors, several students stood in front of the Spirit Wall as workers directly sprayed white paint over them. One student, wearing a face shield, was seen completely covered in the paint in a video shared with The Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com by Case’s Students for Justice in Palestine group.
Kaler released a statement that said he was “disturbed” by what occurred and apologized to the college community Tuesday evening for the incident.
“Let me be clear: No students — or any individuals — should ever be treated this way, especially on a campus where our core values center on providing a safe, welcoming environment. This is not who we are as an institution, and I am deeply sorry this ever occurred,” he said.
Ameer Alkayali, 18, is seen in the video being spray-painted on early Tuesday morning. Alkayali, a Palestinian-American, just finished his freshman year at the University of Cincinnati. He has been protesting with Case students since the first day of their encampment last week when he was also detained and released.
“I stood against the wall, and the painters asked ‘Should we continue?’ The cops showed general confusion and didn’t tell them to stop,” he said. “So, as seen in the video, they continue to just paint right over us.
“They told us to not put our hands in front of the machine because it’s dangerous. And we put our hands up, and they still continued to paint on our hands and sprayed us with it?”
He said he plans to take legal action against Case’s administration and its public safety department.
“We were coughing, and it didn’t come out of my skin for hours,” he said. “Like it’s still in my hair. I can see it under my nails, and there was no sort of medical or any assistance with the situation after from Case or local police.”
[FoxNews] Anarchists at George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C., have apparently called for the beheadings of school administrators amid their continued anti-Israel encampment.
Demonstrators on campus called for the "guillotine" to be used on GW President Ellen Granberg and other school administrators, a resurfaced video posted to social media showed.
"Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine," a person repeatedly chanted as others joined in, while some specifically targeted Christopher Alan Bracey, GW’s African American provost, The National Desk (TND) reported. "Bracey, Bracey we see you, you assault students too."
At least 35 people were arrested at GWU as of Wednesday morning, DC police told Fox News.
Several members at the encampment then held a mock court hearing to decide the fate of the administrators, TND reported. According to the report, the incident was recorded from an Instagram Live video on May 3 and has resurfaced on social media. In the video, an encampment leader rendered the fake verdict as a Bracey proxy sat before them. This mock court continued with verdicts for GWU’s board of trustees and for the school’s president, shouting for each of these individuals to be beheaded, per the publication.
The agitators caused chaos in GWU’s U-Yard throughout the night and then resisted police officers after they were called to restore order.
Police finally moved onto the campus around 3:30 a.m. and used pepper spray to clear the raucous crowd.
For days, the encampment erected tents, displayed Palestinian flags and defaced a statue of the campus' namesake, former President George Washington, with Palestinian iconography.
On Wednesday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and police chief Pamela Smith are expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday to discuss the anti-Israel demonstration and potential safety concerns on the GWU campus. The mayor’s office confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday that the mayor and the police chief will testify at the hearing.
[GEO.TV] At least six bad boyz were potted by security forces in separate operations in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on Wednesday, a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The military’s media wing added that the security forces carried out an intelligence-based operation on the reported presence of bandidossnuffies in Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... District of KP.
"During the conduct of the operation, five bandidossnuffies were successfully neutralised by the security forces and sent to hell," the ISPR said in a brief statement.
In another exchange of fire in North Wazoo District, troops effectively located the terrorists’ presence and bumped off a krazed killer named, Inam Ullah.
The military’s media wing said that weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the slain terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces as well as innocent civilians.
"Sanitisation operation is being carried out to eliminate any other terrorist found in the area as the security forces are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country," the statement added.
As Pakistain witnesses a sharp rise in militancy, the military and armed forces have been actively engaged in actions to eliminate terrorists.
On Tuesday, Director General ISPR Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said there was "irrefutable evidence" of Tehrik-e-Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... Pakistain (TTP) using Afghanistan's soil against the country.
Reaffirming the commitment to counter-terrorism efforts, he had said that Pakistain would leave no stone unturned to eliminate the terrorist network.
He had stressed that the security forces would go to any extent against terrorists. However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome... the spokesperson had also said that the first priority of the Pakistain Army was to maintain law and order in the country.

[GEO.TV] The main maternity hospital in the Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation. Strip's crowded southern city of Rafah has stopped admitting patients, the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Population Fund (UNFPA) said on Wednesday.
The UNFPA told Rooters that the hospital, Al Helal Al Emirati Maternity Hospital, had been handling some 85 out of a daily total of 180 births in Gaza prior to an escalation of fighting between Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... and Israeli troops on Rafah's outskirts.
Around half of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been crowded into Rafah after fleeing other parts of the enclave during seven months of war.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed to Congress earlier Wednesday the shipment had been "paused," but claimed a final decision about its fate had not yet been made.

The Israeli military said it had hit military structures and infrastructure belonging to the Iran-backed Hezbollah in three locations in south Lebanon, including more than 20 strikes on Hezbollah targets in the Ramyeh area.
Hezbollah said it had launched explosive drones at a military headquarters in the Israeli border town of Ya'ara, and fired its powerful Burkan rockets at a barracks in Biranit, among at least 10 attacks announced by the group on Wednesday.
