[ToloNews] The Afghan Ministry of Interior (MoI) on Tuesday said that at least four security incidents by the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... were recorded in Zabul, Ghazni, Farah and Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... provinces in the fourth day since the implementation of the Reduction in Violence (RIV) plan on February 21.
According to the Ministry of Interior, at least five members of the Afghan cops were killed and ten others were maimed during these incidents.
Based on the Afghan government’s statistics, at least 18 security force members have been killed since the start of the RIV by the Taliban, and 31 others were maimed.
Saydabad district in Maidan Wardak province in southern Afghanistan was one of the restive regions before the RIV. But these days residents in the district breath easier in a peaceful environment.
"I am a shopkeeper in Saydabad district, the reduction in violence plan has had a positive impact on our businesses here," said Abdullah, a resident of Saydabad district.
"The Taliban launched three attacks in Ghazni, Farah and Zabul provinces. In one attack, the Taliban targeted a supply caravan, and two other attacks came as a result of mine explosions that resulted in the martyrdom of 5 security force members and the injury of ten others," said Nasrat Rahimi, a front man for the Ministry of Interior.
Abdul Manan served in the ranks of the Afghan National Police in Saydabad for nine years. Abdul Manan says that he has lost dozens of his colleagues during battles with the krazed killers.
"We are very happy now, because, in other times, we were thinking that perhaps we will be killed a moment later, but now there are no worries," said Abdul Manan, referring to the relative peace which has emerged after the RIV.
"If tensions are deepened from what they are now, if tensions are not tackled properly, there is a chance that the achievements in the grinding of the peace processor will be jeopardized," said Sayed Hamed Gailani, the leader of Mahaz-e- Milli party.
The Taliban have said that they are also monitoring the RIV process.
According to the group, no significant incident so far has been reported against the Taliban by the US and Afghan forces.

[BREITBART] More than 20 individuals, including innocent bystanders, were killed in the span of a week between the cities of Reynosa and Rio Bravo as factions of the Gulf Cartel wage an internal pie fight.
The Reynosa faction known as "Los Metros" is fighting the Matamoros group "Escorpiones" or "Ciclones" to hold lucrative drug and human smuggling territories near the Texas border.
Currently, the Matamoros faction managed to take Rio Bravo and is using the area to stage incursions into nearby Reynosa, where they usually target lookouts and button men. In a similar fashion, button men from Reynosa are retaliating on rivals stationed in Rio Bravo.
[Rooters] Clashes broke out on two Greek islands early on Tuesday between police and residents protesting the construction of migrant detention centres as the government vowed to press ahead with the project.
Incidents were reported on Lesbos and Chios, outlying Greek islands on the front line of a migratory flow of refugees and asylum seekers. Authorities announced this month they would expedite the creation of centres on five Greek islands, angering locals who say they are bearing the primary burden of the refugee crisis.
Witnesses said about 500 people attempted to block the unloading of heavy machinery overnight to break ground at a construction site on Lesbos.
Clashes on the streets followed, with residents attempting to block access to the construction site, and police used teargas. Similar tensions were reported on Chios.
Greece's conservative government has taken a markedly tougher stance towards migration compared to the previous leftist government, issuing a tender for the construction of a floating fence to deter asylum seekers arriving by sea and introducing faster processing procedures that could increase deportations.
Actual deportations? Be still, my heart!
Locals are worried that construction of the centres, which would replace camps with open access, will leave the islands permanently overcrowded. Authorities say closed centres will offer greater public safety and limit potential health risks.
That concern was particularly pertinent because of the spread of coronavirus, said Greek government front man Stelios Petsas.
"It is clearly evident that matters such as the coronavirus can be dealt with swiftly and effectively in a closed facility and not an anarchic, open facility which is a health time bomb," Petsas said.
The Moria camp on Lesbos accommodates more than 18,000 people in conditions aid organizations say are appalling.
As of midday on Tuesday, Greece had no confirmed cases of coronavirus.
In addition to Lesbos and Chios, Greek authorities plan to construct closed detention facilities on Samos, Kos and Leros islands. The islands are close to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... , from where thousands of asylum seekers head to Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... each year.
Hundreds of thousands of people crossed into Europe from Turkey via Greece in 2015 and 2016 before a deal brokered by the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... limited the flow.
There has, however, been a resurgence in arrivals since September 2019.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A French court on Tuesday handed a 12-year jail term to a computer technician who traveled to Syria and trained under the suspected ringleader of the 2015 Gay Paree attacks.
Reda Hame, 34, who was convicted of participating in a criminal conspiracy aimed at harming people, received weapons training and a mission from Abdelhamid Abaaoud during his eight-day stay in Syria in the summer of 2015.
Abaaoud, who is believed to have coordinated the November 2015 attacks that left 130 people dead in Gay Paree, taught him how to fire an assault rifle and handle a grenade.
He then dropped him off at the Ottoman Turkish border with orders to return home and carry out an attack on behalf of ISIS.
Hame told Sherlocks that Abaaoud, who was killed in a shootout with French police after the Gay Paree attacks, asked him if he would be prepared to shoot into a crowd, giving as an example a rock concert.
But the Gay Paree native, who was arrested on his return to La Belle France, insisted that he never had any intention of following ISIS’s orders.
Styling himself an ISIS deserter, he told the court he only pretended to accept his mission to escape the horrors of the Syrian war and regretted ever enlisting with ISIS.
The prosecution had challenged his account of his change of heart, portraying him as a dutiful ISIS "soldier" who had traveled to Syria to join ISIS "at a time when the most hardline, those who will go on to attack Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and La Belle France, are leaving (La Belle France for Syria)."
In sentencing Hame to 12 years in jail - the prosecution had sought a 20-year term - the court "showed clemency," the defendant’s lawyer Archibald Celeyron said.
Hundreds of young French snuffies traveled to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS before US-led coalition forces dislodged the turbans from the last holdouts last year.
Dozens have returned home and been tossed in the calaboose Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in La Belle France but some scores more remain in camps in Syria.

Iraqi media: A joint U.S.-Iraqi military team carried out an airdrop 90 km west of Ramadi in Iraq's Anbar Province--arresting Shaykh Muadi al-Obaidi (leader of the Al-Obaid tribe) and "transferring [him] to Ain al-Assad Air Base, without indicating the reason for his arrest."
[IsraelTimes] Terror group spokesperson blames Israel for violence as shaky truce appears to hold and south returns to routine, claims its rocket barrages were coordinated with Hamas.
A spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad vowed to continue fighting against Israel, shortly after a ceasefire went into effect Tuesday ending two days of clashes between Israel and the Gaza-based terror group.
“This isn’t the final round with the occupation,” said Abu Hamza, spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, the terror group’s armed wing.
“The fire of the struggle over the land of Palestine will burn despite all the conspiracies,” Abu Hamza said in a statement.
Over the course of Sunday and Monday, terrorists in the Strip fired over 90 rockets and mortar shells at southern Israel. Some 90 percent of the projectiles heading toward populated areas were intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile system, according to the Israel Defense Forces, though one managed to slam into a playground in Sderot, and falling shrapnel caused damage elsewhere. There were no serious injuries on the Israeli side.
The IDF retaliated to the attacks with several rounds of airstrikes against the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, as well as a rare publicly acknowledged attack against the group’s facilities near the Syrian capital Damascus late Sunday night, in which two members of the terrorist organization were killed.
In his Tuesday statement, Abu Hamza said the group had acted with Hamas’s approval and cooperation.
