[TheLocal.se] The Spanish Civil Guard tossed in the clink You have the right to remain silent... a Danish-Moroccan man on Friday in Spain’s African enclave of Melilla over suspicions that he helped to finance terrorist groups like Isis.
The Spanish Interior Ministry reported that the 40-year-old Danish national of Moroccan heritage had been linked to a network that recruited for groups like Isis and AQIM (Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb).
The man, identified only by the initials M.E.M.,
...at least one and possibly both of those names is a variant on Mohammed....
had used a network of shell companies to hide large sums of money in order to help finance a recruitment network for terror groups, according to Sherlocks.
The Civil Guard had been looking into various residents of Melilla since 2012 who lacked basic economic training, but somehow reported holding high-ranking positions of responsibility at companies registered in Denmark.
This investigation led the agents to M.E.M., and ultimately to the discovery that the recruitment network he was helping to finance had international reach and was "probably the most active network broken up" in Spain, according to the ministry’s report. The group had sent at least ten recruits to conflict zones, including people from Germany, Denmark and Spain.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Arab Coalition Forces, on Sunday, managed to carry out a qualitative intelligence operation, targeting the meeting headquarters of prominent Houthi ...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 Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us.

[WAPO] WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court is letting the Trump administration mostly enforce its 90-day ban on travelers from six mostly Muslim countries, overturning lower court orders that blocked it.
The action Monday is a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controversy of his young presidency.
The court did leave one category of foreigners protected, those "with a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States," the court said in an unsigned opinion.
The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
#8
From a USA Today article - Through all the defeats, Trump was forced to play on what amounts to his opponents' home turf: The 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco, is dominated by President Bill Clinton's nominees. The 4th Circuit, based in Richmond, is dominated by President Barack Obama's nominees. All 13 judges on those two courts who voted to strike down the revised travel ban were appointed by Democratic presidents.

[DAWN] A bomb resembling a toy killed at least six children on Sunday in the tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials said.
The bomb went kaboom! while the children were playing with it in Speenmark village in the South Wazoo tribal district.
"Six children aged between six to 12 years, all boys, were killed by a toy bomb and two others maimed critically," a local government official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Another local security official confirmed the incident and casualties. The origin of the bomb was unclear.
Dozens of children, mostly in northwest Pakistain, have bit the dust in the past when playing with "toys" that turned out to be bombs.
"Toy" bombs were airdropped in neighbouring Afghanistan by Soviet forces during the 1980s as weapons against those who opposed their invasion.
South Waziristan is also one of the seven semi-autonomous tribal areas, where the army has for more than a decade been battling bandidosgunnies linked to the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... and al-Qaeda.

Iraqi forces opened exit routes this weekend for hundreds of civilians to escape Mosul. Iraqi forces backed by the U.S. military are making a final push to drive ISIS out of a city now in ruins. It will give the Iraqis plenty of work to have their ISIS slaves do after this is all over.
U.S.-backed Iraqi special forces said Sunday they've retaken two-thirds of the Old City, but it's come at a cost. Well, yeah. That's the whole idea if you're ISIS trying to defend yourself.
Commanders finally decided that the suffering of tens of thousands of civilians still trapped inside this brutal battle outweighed of any hope of leaving the Old City intact -- especially after ISIS robbed Iraqi forces of a symbolic victory by blowing up the al-Nuri mosque, where ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared the creation of the so-called caliphate more than three years ago. As sad as it is, it seems to me that generally there are fewer overall casualties if you break them with an overwhelmingly violent first strike.
CBS News entered the Old City with Iraqi special forces, the very forces that broke through ISIS defenses and started advancing toward the mosque.
CBS News and the special forces drove until the streets got so narrow we had leave the protection our humvees behind and get out on foot as gunfire and mortars rang out in every direction. Looks like the Iraqi forces learned a lesson or two from the US Marines during the operation to take Falluja.
The stench of death from the bodies of ISIS fighters rotting in the sweltering heat filled the air. Smells like . . . victory!
As you walk around the streets of the Old City, you just get an indication of the damage and destruction. Whole neighborhoods have ceased to exist after eight months of fighting - and it's not over yet.
General Abdul Ghani al-Assadi said they're starting to face female ISIS fighters on the battlefield for the first time. Great. Bomb them, too.
"It's their ultimate point of weakness now," he said. "But they're also the women of ISIS, so they have the same ideology, that's why they're fighting." And that's exactly why ISIS families don't need to be given any quarter now or after this is all over.
The Iraqi military has begun opening exit routes for shell-shocked residents to flee the Old City, with the U.N. warning of a rising civilian death toll and the "unimaginable" risks facing those trapped inside. Especially if you're an ISIS wife.
As the battle enters its final phase, Iraqi soldiers are not locked in a fight against ISIS holdouts -- but a fight against time. Before civilians are killed, die of disease or starve to death, I assume.

I just spoke with a guy from Iraq. He claims the Shia soldiers are destroying the city way more than they need to because Sunni have been hard on them in the past. He doesn't really like either side in the battle.

Said it before: Whenever this happens, to a "hideout", they have to be wondering how the Iraqis got the accurate intel.
Them trying to find out, and to fix whatever they find, is counterproductive, since it's likely wrong.

[Townhall] JERUSALEM (AP) -- The Israeli military on Sunday said it attacked a series of targets belonging to the Syrian military, after several projectiles from neighboring Syria landed in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights for a second day.
The military said it targeted two Syrian artillery positions and an ammunitions truck. There were no immediate reports of casualties. But as an added precaution, the military instructed Israeli civilians from gathering in open areas in the border area.
It was the second straight day that Israel responded to what it has described as errant fire from Syria. Israel has tried to stay out of the six-year civil war in Syria and refrained from taking sides, but has responded to spillover fire on numerous occasions.
Israel also is believed to have carried out airstrikes on suspected weapons shipments to its archenemy Hezbollah, whose fighters are in Syria backing government forces.
"Our policy is clear: We will not tolerate any spillover or trickle whatsoever -- neither mortars nor rockets, from any front," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday. "We will respond strongly to any attack on our territory or our citizens."
[ALMASDARNEWS] Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) rebels, backed up by the Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) jihadist group, have foiled a large ISIS offensive in the western countryside of Daraa Governonate. ISIS had launched their assault on the rebel-held town of Hait beginning on midnight and festivities lasted until today afternoon. In a fashion quite untypical of past festivities between ISIS and rebel militias, ISIS has suffered a heavy defeat, losing a considerable number of its attacking forces as well as failing to seize its objective (this representing both a tactical and operational defeat).
For their part, rebels managed to destroy two (2) tanks, one (1) Toyota pickup fitted with a 23 mm ZU-23-2 gun and a vehicle-borne improvised bomb (VBIED) belonging to ISIS. Furthermore, rebels also captured a BMP-1 from ISIS (in the picture above).
According to local sources, ISIS manpower losses came to a total of at least 20 fighters as a result of the failed attack whilst rebels and HTS suffered around 10 men dead and maimed.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The commander of Aerospace Force of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (IRGC) said on Sunday that one of their missiles hit the target and a gas tank that caused a huge fire.
Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said on the June 18 missile attack on ISIS hit the target but "caused a huge fire that surprised us; and later we found out that the fire was because of the kaboom of a gas tanker parked next to the base."
Hajizadeh added, "80 million Iranians unanimously welcomed the attacks; the welcome wasn’t limited to Iran, though. It was not just the Dire Revenge of Iranian deaders; Yemen, Leb, Syria, and Bahrain were delighted, too."

[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham launched a fresh assault this afternoon in the Golan Heights region, following another Arclight airstrike by the Israeli Air Force.
Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and their allies reportedly began their assault after an Israeli warplane struck the Syrian Arab Army’s positions near the Old Government building.
The Israeli attack would pave the way for the forces of Evil to strike several points around al-Ba’ath City, including the Bemo Bank and Fire Station.
According to a military source, no gains have been made by the jihadist rebels; however, intense festivities are still ongoing near the al-Samdaniyah al-Gharbiyah axis.
Today’s attack by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham comes just hours after the Syrian Arab Army reversed the jihadist gains around al-Ba’ath City in the Golan Heights

[Ynet] Iranian authorities have rounded up at least 50 people suspected of links to krazed killer groups in a Western province, a prosecutor said on Sunday, the latest in a wave of arrests following twin bomb and gun attacks in Tehran in early June.
"Since the terrorist attacks in Tehran, more than 50 supporters and elements linked to terror groups have been jugged You have the right to remain silent... in Kermanshah province," provincial prosecutor Nemat Sadeqi told the state news agency IRNA.
"An appreciable number of suicide belts, electronic detonators, and weapons have been seized from the detainees," IRNA quoted Sadeqi as saying.
One wonders if this is a new arrest of fifty plus materiel, or the accumulated proceeds of all the raids since the early June attacks... and how many of those picked up are guilty of anything at all.

[IsraelTimes] Regime says three Syrian soldiers killed, maintains it will hold Jewish state responsible for hostilities.
The Syrian army on Sunday issued a warning to Israel, following two IDF retaliatory strikes on its territory in as many days for spillover fire from the war-torn country.
The regime also said that three Syrian soldiers had been killed by Israeli fire.
Around 10 mortar shells from Syria struck the Golan Heights on Saturday, prompting an Israeli response that reportedly killed two Syrian soldiers. On Sunday, several more projectiles hit Israel, in what the army said was spillover fire.
The IDF on Sunday again responded to the errant fire, confirming it targeted a Syrian military vehicle. Arab media reports said five people were maimed in the Israeli raid.
"The general staff of the Syrian army warns of the dangers of these aggressive actions and holds the Israeli enemy responsible for the grave consequences of these repeated actions, despite any excuse there may be," the Ynet news site quoted the Syrian military as saying.
The Syrian general staff also published photos of at least three men it said were Syrian soldiers killed in Israeli strikes. It did not provide a date or any other information on when they were killed.
Also on Sunday, Syrian Defense Minister Fahd Jassem al-Freij visited troops in southern Syria to mark the end of the Ramadan monthlong fast where he vowed the regime would continue fighting until it conquers "every morsel of the homeland."
In Sunday’s strike, the IDF "targeted two artillery positions and an ammunitions truck belonging to the Syrian regime," an Israeli military statement read, noting the army had also ordered Israelis to keep away from open areas along the border near Quneitra, where internal fighting was heavy.
Sunday’s mortar fire was the seventh such incident in a week and came as fighting between Assad’s regime and the numerous rebel groups in southern Syria has been escalating.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned Saturday night that the regime would continue to "suffer the consequences" of any attack on Israel emanating from its territory.
Israel, he said, had "no intention of accepting challenges to our illusory sovereignty and threats to our security, even if they are caused by ’spillover’" from Syrian infighting.
"We will respond strongly, resolutely and with levelheadedness to any such case," he said. "As far as we are concerned the Assad regime is responsible for what occurs in its territory and will continue to suffer the consequences if such events recur."
Israel has tried to stay out of the six-year civil war in Syria and refrained from taking sides, but has responded to spillover fire on numerous occasions.
