[GEO.TV] The UN migration agency said on Tuesday that over 49 migrants colonists have bit the dust and 140 others went missing after their boat overturned off the coast 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... ."Hey, y'all! Don't everybody stand on one side like that!"
A statement from the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) revealed that the ship left Somalia with 260 migrants colonists on board including Somalis and Æthiopians. "Ands quit rockin' the boat! That's dangerous, y'know!"
The mishap occurred on Monday near Alghareef Point in the Shabwah governorate of Yemen. The dear departed include 31 women and six children, according to IOM. "I'm warning youse!"
"This recent tragedy is another reminder of the urgent need to work together to address urgent migration challenges and ensure the safety and security of migrants colonists along migration routes," said Mohammedali Abunajela, a spokesperson for IOM. "Yer gonna tip us over!"
According to IOM, they have recorded 1,860 migrant deaths and disappearances along the route running from East Africa and the Horn of Africa to Gulf countries since 2014. Out of these, nearly 500 bit the dust due to drowning. "We're all gonna be shark bait!"
IOM said that the migration route in question is the most dangerous in the world. [SPLOOSH!]
"Often relying on smugglers to navigate the journey, migrants colonists are frequently at an increased risk, including of human trafficking, during the perilous boat journey to Yemen's shores," it said. "Toldja so!"
The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... said that approximately 97,000 migrants colonists reached Yemen from the Horn of Africa last year. [Glub!]

Activists, fearing Elasmobranchiphobic backlash from imaginary attacks, thrash furiously, snap gaping jaws.
A Greek-owned cargo ship was struck by a small craft off Yemen’s Red Sea port of #Hodeidah sustaining damage in its engine room, maritime security firms and shipping sources say.https://t.co/pkGJQ1AQiV
Iran-allied Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... holy warriors on Wednesday took responsibility for small watercraft and missile attacks that left a Greek-owned fat merchantman taking on water and in need of rescue near 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... ’s Red Sea port of Hodeidah.
The Houthis said the Tutor coal carrier was seriously damaged and vulnerable to sinking after they targeted the vessel with an unmanned surface boat, drones and ballistic missiles.
"The impact of the (unmanned surface vessel) caused severe flooding and damage to the engine room," US Central Command (CENTCOM) said of the attack, which was the Houthis’ first to use a boat successfully as a weapon.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which acts as a conduit between ship operators and military and security forces, earlier on Wednesday said the Liberian-flagged Tutor was taking on water and not under command of the crew after sustaining damage in its engine room.
UKMTO said a small craft of white colour collided with the cargo ship’s stern and that an "unknown airborne projectile" also struck the vessel.
"It was hit twice by air and by sea. There are no reports of injuries," a Greek ministry official said, on condition of anonymity. The Tutor was sailing to India when it was hit, that person said.
The vessel’s manager was not immediately available for comment.
"I can say no more!" The Tutor loaded at the Port of Ust-Luga, Russia, on May 18 and discharged at Port Said, Egypt, on June 9, according to LSEG data. Its next scheduled destination was Aqaba, Jordan, according to that data.
So much for Houthi promises to spare Iran-ally Russia. But members of the Master Religion are not required to keep promises to unbelievers, which Russia most definitely is.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Eight immigrants from Tajikistan were detained in the United States on suspicion of connections with the terrorist group “Islamic State” (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).television reported this on June 11.
It is clarified that the suspects were detained during an FBI operation in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. According to the television company's sources, all those detained entered the United States illegally through the southern border. The FBI conducted the investigation and monitored and wiretapped the suspects for several months. The detainees were not charged with preparing for the terrorist attack; the reason for their detention was related to a violation of immigration laws.
According to the New York Post, six of the detainees are from Tajikistan and have Russian citizenship.
And the other two?
It is noted that during the operation, the FBI allegedly recorded conversations between detainees about explosive devices. It is assumed that the talk could be about preparations for a terrorist attack.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Christopher Ray said at a hearing in the Appropriations Committee of the US Senate, there is a risk of a terrorist attack in the United States, similar to the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow.
According to Wray, Washington is concerned that some groups or individuals may have drawn "inspiration" from the Middle East to attack the United States.
The press bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service clarified that the United States is shielding those responsible for the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow, and the administration of US President Joseph Biden is intensifying work to form a distorted picture of the attack. However, Washington’s propaganda rhetoric regarding Crocus is not selling well: the Americans cannot achieve unified assessments of the tragedy near Moscow even among NATO and EU members, the SVR clarified.
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, noted that Russia considers the US position on the investigation of the terrorist attack in Crocus to be obviously biased. The diplomat accused Washington of wanting to get the Kiev regime out of harm’s way, while the American authorities exposed themselves.
Terrorists attacked the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow on March 22. The attack killed 145 people, including six children. Over 500 more people were injured. The court recognized more than 1.7 thousand people as victims in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus. The Basmanny Court of Moscow decided to arrest a total of 18 people out of 20 accused in the case of a terrorist attack in a concentration hall near Moscow.
Police in #Sweden have arrested two people over an incident in which gunshots were fired outside the #Israeli embassy in Stockholm in mid-May, a prosecutor says.https://t.co/xdRpAs5yOV
Police in Sweden have arrested two people over an incident in which gunshots were fired outside the Israeli embassy in Stockholm in mid-May, a prosecutor said Wednesday. The incident prompted the country to boost security measures around Israeli interests and Jewish community institutions.
“Two people have been arrested suspected of aiding and abetting an aggravated weapons offense,” prosecutor Rasmus Oman told AFP.
Oman said he could not comment on the ages or genders of the suspects, who face questioning before a decision is made on whether to remand them in custody.
Another person had previously been arrested suspected of the same crime, but was then released.
Oman said that a 14-year-old boy was believed to have fired the weapon, but since he was under the age of criminal responsibility in Sweden he was not formally suspected of any crime.
So we can assume the other two are not 14 year old boys…
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, several incidents apparently targeting Israeli interests in Sweden have been reported.
In February, police found a grenade on the grounds of the Israeli embassy compound, which the ambassador said was an attempted attack.
Last week, police said they had found a “suspected explosive object” outside the offices of Israeli military technology firm Elbit Systems, known for its unmanned aerial systems, in Sweden’s second-largest city Gothenburg.
The Scandinavian country’s intelligence agency Sapo said in late May that Iran was recruiting members of Swedish criminal gangs to commit “acts of violence” against Israeli and other interests in Sweden -- a claim Iran denied.
The Nordic country has also reported an increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes since the war in Gaza started.

[Rudaw] Ottoman Turkish aerial forces on Friday bombed Mount Metina in Duhok province, causing a fire in the vicinity of four villages, a local told Rudaw.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... heavily bombed Mount Metina during fresh festivities with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Fayaq Balavayi, a resident of Balav village, in Duhok province’s Amedi area told Rudaw.
"Last night and the night before, the PKK guerillas attacked a Ottoman Turkish military post in Sora Sagere. The sound of the festivities could be heard from Balav, Sgere, Barche and Sargale villages," Balavayi said.
The PKK said it attacked Ottoman Turkish forces on Mount Metina and in Avashin, killing 11 soldiers and injuring two others.
Turkey’s defense minister said in a post on X that their forces killed two PKK fighters in Duhok province during Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s.
Turkey has recently increased its military intervention to curb threats from the PKK along its border with the Kurdistan Region.

[Rudaw] Iraqi counter-terror forces arrested two people accused of terrorism in separate operations in northern Iraq, security forces announced on Sunday. In the south, the forces also arrested alleged narcos.
"Our [counter-terrorism service] units in the northern areas carried out two operations that resulted in the arrest of two bandidosLions of Islam in the governorates of Nineveh and Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... " the Security Media Cell announced in a statement on X.
The statement did not detail what organizations the two are suspected of working for. Nineveh and Kirkuk both have territory that lies in the disputed areas between the federal and regional governments. Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) snuffies are known to take advantage of a security vacuum in these areas.
According to the statement, the units also carried out two operations that resulted in the arrest of suspected narcos in Basra and Dhi Qar provinces in the south of the country. The suspects were handed over to the Directorate of Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Affairs of each governorate.
There has been an alarming rise in drug trafficking and use in Iraq in recent years, despite strict measures taken by the Iraqi government to curb the phenomenon.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... i ordered the establishment of rehabilitation centers in all Iraqi provinces, excluding the Kurdistan Region, as part of his cabinet’s commitment to combating growing drug trade and use as seriously as the country fights terrorism.
In 2023, more than 19,000 people were arrested across Iraq on drug-related charges, and over 15 tons of psychotropic substances were seized.

[Rudaw] A Yazidi woman has been rescued from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) captivity and returned to Iraq, a Kurdish official revealed on Tuesday.
Hussein Qaidi, head of the Yazidi rescue office, affiliated with the Kurdistan Region Presidency, told Rudaw on Tuesday that Tawaf Dawoud Chato "arrived in Iraq from Western Kurdistan [northeast Syria] today."
He added that the Iraqi security forces are keeping her until she is returned to her hometown, Shingal.
When ISIS swept through the Yazidi heartland of Shingal in August 2014, committing genocide, the group kidnapped 6,417 women and kiddies who were forced into sexual slavery and labour. Many have been rescued from al-Hol, the notorious camp that houses tens of thousands of ISIS families and supporters.
According to data provided by Qaidi’s office, 3,576 of the kidnapped Yazidis have been rescued so far.
Wonderful news, even if more remain yet to be found and rescued.
Another Yazidi woman, Kovan Ido, was rescued from ISIS captivity in March and was reunited with her family in the Kurdistan Region. Ido was only 14 when she was kidnapped from her village in Shingal district during the bully boy group's brutal offensive.

[Rudaw] A Baghdad court on Tuesday handed a death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... to a suspected member of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) for "committing genocide" against the Yazidi ethnoreligious minority during the group’s brutal reign, state media reported.
"The criminal, along with members of his military detachment, executed a number of Yazidi citizens and buried them after photographing them and publishing the videos on social media sites affiliated with terrorist gangs," Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council said in a statement about the ruling by Baghdad’s Karkh Criminal Court.
He is also convicted of attacking security forces in Nineveh and Salahaddin provinces — where ISIS held swathes of territory during their reign.
ISIS swept through vast swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014 and declared a so-called "caliphate" in a brazen offensive that saw the group take control of around a third of Syria’s territory as well as several Iraqi cities, including the second largest northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . It was declared territorially defeated in 2017 and 2019 in both countries respectively.
During the jihadists’ brutal reign, they committed heinous atrocities, such as genocide, sexual slavery, and massacres against non-Moslems, especially the Yazidi ethnoreligious group. Christians and Shiite Moslems were also a target.
More than 6,000 Yazidis were kidnapped when ISIS overran the community’s heartland of Shingal (Sinjar) in 2014. Around 2,700 remain missing, with little done to bring solace to the rescued.
[GEO.TV] It is not only the ever-present danger from Israeli bombardment or ground fighting that makes life a trial for Gazoo
...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... 's Paleostinian civilians. It is also the sheer daily slog to find bare necessities such as water, to drink or cook or wash with.
For the Shenbary family, that can be a walk of 90 minutes, jerry cans at the ready, in the hope of finding a makeshift distribution point among the mounds of grey, dusty rubble of the Jabalia urban refugee camp in northern Gaza.
"Now that Jabalia has all been bulldozed, all the wells are bulldozed with it. There's not a single water well left," family father Ahmed al-Shenbary said last Saturday. "Water is a big tragedy in Jabalia."

[GEO.TV] Lebanese group Hezbollah fired barrages of rockets at Israel on Wednesday and vowed to intensify its attacks after an Israeli strike killed a senior commander in south Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah 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, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original 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... the previous day.
Hezbollah has traded near-daily cross-border fire with Israeli forces since its Paleostinian ally Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... attacked southern Israel on October 7.
The exchanges have escalated in recent weeks, with Hezbollah stepping up its use of drones to attack Israeli military positions and Israel hitting back with targeted strikes against the group.
"We will increase the intensity, strength, quantity and quality of our attacks," said senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine, speaking at the funeral of commander Taleb Sami Abdallah, who was killed in Tuesday's Israeli strike.

[Breitbart] The Biden administration has publicly praised American troops who are part of the risky mission to deliver aid to Gaza via a temporary pier, but behind the scenes, sources tell Breitbart News that the troops’ safety is being endangered for a “photo-op.”
There are approximately 1,000 troops who are part of the novel operation to attach a floating pier to the coast of Gaza. The pier went operational on May 17, but eight days later on May 25, it broke apart due to heavy seas and had to be dismantled from the coast and repaired. It was reattached just last week.
Despite this, the Biden administration has insisted the pier operation has been a success.
“The operation was going successfully,” Deputy Defense Secretary Sabrina Singh said on May 30.
But sources say behind the scenes, troops’ lives are being put at risk, sometimes for literal photo-ops.
One U.S. source involved in the mission said the pier has been targeted daily. “[There] absolutely has been gunfire and mortars. It’s all day and night nonstop,” the source said. Indeed, due to the risk of sniper-fire, troops are ordered to wear tactical vests as far as five nautical miles out from the coast, and aid has to be rushed off the boats onto the temporary pier due to the “constant” attempts to attack the pier, according to the source.
Yet, minutes before the first boat filled with aid hit the pier, troops were ordered to roll up plastic covers on the trucks so that the aid could be photographed, the source said.
Troops were also ordered to wash the aid trucks and sweep flour off of them so that they look good in photos. The source said this happened twice — once for the first delivery of the operation, and again recently after the pier was reattached.
The Biden administration has also boasted about the amount of aid moved over the pier — a little more than 2,000 metric tons to date, or approximately 4.6 million pounds. But sources say moving that amount of aid has taken a toll on troops.
Two U.S. sources said commanders are ordering troops to work 12 to 48-hour shifts with very little sleep so that they can move more pallets, which has led to “many accidents,” including one service member being “crushed” by a forklift.
The first U.S. source said it was lack of sleep that led to the service member being run and crushed over by an unlicensed forklift driver during night operations. Biden administration officials have revealed little about that injury, with Singh only saying that it was a “noncombat injury that happened on a ship that was away from the pier.” They recently acknowledged that the service member is in critical condition, and was recently moved along with his family from a hospital in Israel to the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
According to the U.S. source, the service member is “currently brain dead in a coma.” Breitbart News reached out to the 7th Transportation Brigade — Expeditionary to confirm the service member’s injuries and status, but did not receive a response.
The Pentagon has acknowledged two other service members being injured, calling them “minor” injuries.
However, the second U.S. source said troops are “being injured daily and not being taken off the mission.”
“Someone dislocated their shoulder [and is] still being forced to work,” the source said. “Others are getting injuries [and are] still just being ignored because they just want this mission to show as a ‘success.’ It’s a disaster.”
In addition, the sources said troops were getting “barely more than two meals a day,” with some getting only one meal a day, consisting of cucumber sandwiches. The first U.S. source said this is because “chow hours” do not match up with the shift hours, and some locations troops are working at do not have meals prepared for them.
Sources also said troops are unable to shower or do laundry for days.
“I just feel like priorities of a [command sergeant major] and brigade commander are not in the right places. It’s push aid whatever you have to do, I don’t care what it takes and not how can we push aid safely,” said the first U.S. source.
They also said some sailors attached to Army vessels who were offloading aid at a pier in Israel were left at the pier overnight due to bad weather, and were forced to sleep in tents on the pier.
One of the sources said the pier breaking apart could have been avoided if commanders had listened to troops’ warnings.
“Army Mariners and Warrant Officers who know the Army watercraft field and capabilities of the equipment warned the generals and field grade officers days before the weather got bad out there and they needed to go to a safe haven with the boats and Trident pier,” the source said.
“The brigade commander and higher shut it down and less than 18 hours later it resulted in damage of the Trident pier breaking apart, vessels becoming beached, some vessels sinking and one of them sitting at the ocean floor resulting in wasting millions in taxpayer dollars and halting aid,” the source said.
Despite the weather being an ongoing concern, there is also currently no changes to how the mission will operate.

[Rudaw] At least five members of a pro-Syrian regime militia were killed in an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) attack in central Homs province, a conflict monitor reported on Saturday.
"Armed men from Islamic State cells launched a surprise attack targeting a group of button men loyal to the regime and members of the Russian-backed al-Quds Brigade ... which resulted in five members dead," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.
ISIS fighters launched the assault while pro-regime forces were carrying out a combing operation in the eastern countryside of Homs, the monitor said.
This is the latest in a string of ISIS attacks in Syria, which have been on the rise recently, especially in the vast expanses of its eastern desert where the group carries out surprise attacks amid a security vacuum.
ISIS rose to power and seized swathes of Iraqi and Syrian land in a brazen offensive in 2014, declaring a so-called "caliphate."
While the group was declared territorially defeated in 2019, it still continues to pose serious security risks through hit-and-run attacks, bombings, and abductions, especially across the Syrian desert as well as several Iraqi provinces.

[Rudaw] An bomb went off in a vehicle in Syria’s eastern province of Deir ez-Zor on Saturday, killing two passengers, reported a war monitor. The blast took place near an Iranian cultural centre.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the vehicle belonged to Iranian-backed militias.
"In this context, regime forces and militias imposed a security cordon around the earth-shattering kaboom site," the UK-based war monitor noted.
Control of oil-rich Deir ez-Zor is split between Syrian regime forces backed by Tehran and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with their American allies.
There are multiple actors in Syria’s fractured security landscape.
A suspected Israeli airstrike on the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on Monday killed a commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF).
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on regime-controlled areas of Syria throughout its 13-year civil war, often claiming to target pro-Iran militias such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah group that supports the Syrian army.
While it rarely comments on strikes attributed to it in Syria, Israel has repeatedly warned that it would not tolerate its arch-rival Iran gaining a foothold there.
Islamic State (ISIS) sleeper cells are also active in Deir ez-Zor.

[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Saturday announced the arrest of an individual accused of smuggling people out of al-Hol camp, which houses families linked to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) in northeast Syria (Rojava).
Abdullah Muhammad Ibrahim, known as Abu Hisham, was arrested in the village of Abu Jern in northeastern Hasaka. Ibrahim was "actively smuggling ISIS members and families out of al-Hol camp," the SDF stated.
"The terrorist Ibrahim was involved in smuggling children known as ’Cubs of the Caliphate’ and women affiliated with ISIS. He aimed to transport them to ISIS-controlled areas in the Syrian Badia desert and Ottoman Turkish-occupied territories that harbored the ISIS key leaders," read a statement from the SDF.
The SDF arrested thousands of ISIS fighters along with their wives and children when they took control of the group’s last stronghold in Syria in March 2019. Many of these people have been living in camps for the past five years.
Al-Hol is the largest of these camps. It is located in northeast Syria’s Hasaka province and houses over 50,000 ISIS-linked people. The camp has been branded a breeding ground for terrorism. Residents come from around the world, but the majority are Syrian and Iraqi.
Iraq has brought nearly 9,000 of its nationals back so far, but the repatriations have sparked opposition from tribes unwilling to accept and welcome people associated with the group that committed atrocious human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... abuses and war crimes from 2014 to 2017, when it controlled vast areas of the country.
Sixteen Syrian soldiers, including an officer, have been killed in a minefield laid by ISIS and an attack by the group in the desert, a monitor says. #Syriahttps://t.co/BGZS32TNyA
