"All I want is a gal with a stamp
Just like Mom's, but ironic, a vamp
With some hip hobo signs,
One who knows her cheap wines,
And can cook, wash, and make and break camp."

NYPD released new high-definition photos on Thursday showing two gunmen and their two accomplices on mopeds who are wanted by the police
Two men approached a crowd in the busy Queens neighborhood of North Corona and opened fire, injuring 10 people, on July 31
The men were gang members targeting rivals in the Trinitarios gang, cops said
Three of the shooting victims were intended targets, but seven were people in the wrong place at the wrong time .300 is respectable hitting in the MLB, on the street, not so much
Eight men and two women, who range in age from 19 to 72, were all hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries
The NYPD and Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa
...founder of the Guardian Angels, now ready to work the problems on a higher level, so he registered to run for mayor of New York City as a Republican in February...
are offering a combined $30,000 reward for information
NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig described what was caught in the surveillance footage as 'pretty disturbing.'
'There's just one common theme I want to get out there that's a recurring theme that keeps happening and it has to stop throughout the city. That's gang members, that's guns, multiple guns on the scene, scooters being used, masks and, lastly, unintended targets getting hit. This is unacceptable in our streets of NYC and it has to stop,' he said.
Police said the two gunmen arrived at the scene on foot, but left by jumping on the backs of two mopeds driven by two other men. All four were wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks.
It is unclear which gang was involved, if any, but police said they were clearly targeting three Trinitarios members on the street.
Detectives suspect that the shooting was connected to a years-long feud between the Trinitarios and the Queens-based ABK (Always Banging Kings), according to the Daily News.
It also may be linked to the July 18 murder of Aldair Melchor, 25, who was shot dead on 132nd St. and 32nd Ave. in Flushing by a gunman in a black car sources told the Daily News. Since then, two more shootings have been tied to the ongoing gang war, the sources said.
The Trinitarios gang formed on Ryker's Island jail in 1993 as a means of protecting Hispanic inmates from other gangs. Outside jail, the Trinitarios began in the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn before expanding throughout the city and Long Island.

Running that story tomorrow. Of course he was instantly relieved. Bet he's reached 18 year lock-in for retirement so whatta they gonna do....send him to Vietnam ?
Yesterday it was announced they’re to join the Taliban ruling council, but now it looks considerably less like a sinecure.
[KhaamaPress] Sources have confirmed to the Khaama Press that former President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...A product, and probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance... and head of High Council for National Reconciliation Abdullah Abdullah ...the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against both Karzai and Ghani. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun. He also held the meaningless salaried sop position as CEO of Afghanistan, while Ghani was president... are house-arrested by the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... and are not allowed to go out. that's kinda what "house arrest" means
Sources also said that the two are only allowed to meet people at their respective residences.
As per the sources, Hamid Karzai is now living in Abdullah’s home.
Ever since former president Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, ex-president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. When Biden abandoned the country left with a helicopter, four cars, and part of the national treasury... fled the country, Hamid Karzai, Abdullah Abdullah, and Gulbadin Hekmatyar are the only political figures who are holding frequent meetings in Kabul both with the Taliban leadership and tribal elders.
The trio who have also created a council are said to be members of the 12-member grand council which is planned by the Taliban to be leading the upcoming government.
It is still not clear whether the three will have executive authority in the upcoming council.
The Taliban are still busy discussing the format of the upcoming government but have frequently promised to be forging an all-inclusive government.
Acting minister of culture and information and spokesperson of the Afghanistan Islamic Emirate Zabiullah Mujahid in a presser in Kabul had said that the religious scholars-Ulama- will be leading the government.

Got yer answer right here Leon old boy. Put the entire culture to the sword. Lay waste to the cities, power grids, airports, roads, poppy fields, and dams. Turn the air black with contrails until there is no longer any movement on the ground, no electronic signals, or electric lights.
Our departure should be locked into their collective memories.

Maybe, just maybe, if we didn't buy the religion of peace bullsh*t so readily we could identify who should be carefully screened before allowing them in our country and we wouldn't need to go there and blow up their little sh*tholes. And if we were thorough in focusing on the people of that persuasion already here at the first hint of radicaliztion, the really peaceful ones who didn't want sharia law and just wanted to be American would be safe and productive citizens. Act like Hungary, close the borders, limit new immigration and defend the American culture and way of life! Peace Through Strength. Duh!

Yup, just as predicted. They're fucking PISSED that their war is over. They're foaming at the mouth to start it up again. This isn't over until the real government (i.e. them) says it is.
Honestly I'm surprised the Pentagon obeyed the executive on this. The last time it happened, they flat-out refused orders. They were close to declaring the President an enemy of the state for doing it, too.
Eagle Base, aka the Brick Factory, just north of Kabul, has for 20 years been the home of the CIA’s premier Afghan surrogate unit, known in recent years as NDS-01. As @nafisehkBBC says, Eagle Base remained open even in recent days after the embassy closed, but now it’s gone. https://t.co/R7tmFSyVbX
IS named one of the attackers as “Abdul Rahman al Loghari,” from Afghanistan’s Logar province. The terror group claimed he reached within 5 meters of US forces before detonating his explosives.
Another huge blast heard in Kabul, Taliban say it was not an attack
[AlAhram] A huge blast rocked Kabul early Friday, hours after a deadly twin kaboom at the airport that was claimed by 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.... The new blast was heard by AFP staff. It was not immediately clear what caused it, and in the absence of any administration since the Taliban ...Arabic for students... takeover on August 15, further details were not immediately available.
Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahadid, however, tweeted that it was a controlled explosion by US forces destroying equipment at the airport and Kabul residents should not worry.
Over 100,000 evacuated from Afghanistan, US says
[IsraelTimes] The United States has evacuated more than 100,000 people from Afghanistan since August 14, the eve of the Taliban’s return to power, the White House says.
“Since August 14, the U.S. has evacuated and facilitated the evacuation of approximately 100,100 people,” the White House says in a statement issued hours after Islamic State suicide bombers attacked crowds gathered outside Kabul airport hoping to flee.
US says around 1,000 Americans still in Afghanistan
[IsraelTimes] The US State Department says it is tracking roughly 1,000 American citizens whom it believes may still be in Afghanistan, as evacuation efforts proceed, despite deadly suicide attacks outside the Kabul airport.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken had said yesterday that some 1,500 US citizens were still thought to be in the country, but the department says today that it confirms that about 500 of them had been evacuated.
In the meantime, it says another 500 people claiming to be Americans wanting to leave have gotten in touch with the US embassy, but that it expects the majority of them would turn out not to be US citizens. Of the 1,000 Americans the department believes to be in Afghanistan, it says about 75 percent are making preparations to leave.
The local news reports as of 9:41 p.m. local time Thursday:
Kabul Airport Blasts Cause Scores of Casualties
[ToloNews] At least 60 people were maimed in two explosions close to Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...A product, and probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance... International Airport in Kabul on Thursday evening, according to officials at Emergency hospital.
The blasts occurred from inside a crowd of Afghans close to the Abbey gate area who were trying to leave the country, said the US Pentagon's press secretary John Kirby.
"We can confirm that the earth-shattering kaboom at the Abbey Gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in a number of US and civilian casualties. We can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, a short distance from Abbey Gate. We will continue to update," Kirby said.
At least 52 people were maimed in the blast near the Baron Hotel, a short distance from Abbey Gate in Kabul airport, said Zabihullah Mujahid, a front man for the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , adding that two explosions occurred in the area and the other blast also has casualties but the number is not yet clear.
Two US officials said at least one of the earth-shattering kabooms appeared to be from a suicide kaboom, according to a Rooters report.
A Taliban official told Rooters that at least 13 people were killed in the blast, including children, and many Taliban guards were maimed.
A US official told Rooters as many as three US service members were among those hurt, and that US casualty numbers were expected to increase, according to initial information.
At least one of the US personnel was seriously hurt, an official said.
Two kabooms killed four US marines, 13 civilians, and maimed over 70 more at Abbey gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport on Thursday, August 26.
The first bomb is said to be among the crowd gathered to enter the airport to fly out while the second one was reportedly away from the gate.
Medical officials of the emergency hospital in Kabul said that the health condition of those maimed is critical.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... unconfirmed reports say that the twin explosions have killed 40 and maimed over 130 more.
Afghanistan Islamic Emirate has condemned the blasts in which civilians were targeted and said that the earth-shattering kabooms have occurred in a location manned by US forces.
The acting minister and spokesperson of AIE Zabiullah Mujahid said that they are committed to protecting the lives of the Afghan people.
ISIS has purportedly claimed the responsibility for the earth-shattering kabooms.
The second blast was at or near Baron Hotel, where many people, including Afghans, Britons and Americans, were told to gather in recent days before heading to the airport for evacuation.
Denmark's last flight has already departed, and Poland and Belgium have also announced the end of their evacuations. The Dutch government said it had been told by the U.S. to leave Thursday.
But Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, said some planes would continue to fly.
'Evacuation operations in Kabul will not be wrapping up in 36 hours. We will continue to evacuate as many people as we can until the end of the mission,'' he said in a tweet.
The Taliban have said they'll allow Afghans to leave via commercial flights after the deadline next week, but it remains unclear which airlines would return to an airport controlled by the militants.
Germany ends evacuation operation in Afghanistan — defense minister
[IsraelTimes] Germany has pulled all of its soldiers out of Afghanistan, with its last evacuation flight from Kabul, Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer says. Germany had flown out 5,347 people since August 16, the minister says. The military evacuation mission has therefore now ended, she says.
“All soldiers, members of the foreign ministry, and federal police who have led this mission to a safe end for us on the ground have been flown out of Kabul,” she says.
France seeks to evacuate ‘several hundred’ more from Kabul
[IsraelTimes] France is still seeking to evacuate hundreds more people from Afghanistan, ahead of a looming deadline, President Emmanuel Macron says, warning of an “extremely risky” situation, in the wake of blasts around Kabul airport.
“We will do everything we can” to bring to France Afghan citizens and dual nationals who were in the French embassy, and are currently outside the perimeter of the airport in 20 buses, Macron says on a visit to Ireland.
Bangladesh Trying to Evacuate Afghan Students as Bombings Hit Kabul Airport
[BenarNews] Dhaka was trying to evacuate 15 of its nationals and 160 young Afghan women who had been studying at a university in Bangladesh, a diplomat said Thursday, as two suicide bombers struck crowded areas outside the international airport in Afghanistan’s capital, killing dozens.
A source with Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs who spoke on condition of anonymity said the group slated for evacuation via a chartered flight from Kabul was not affected by the bombings and still waiting in vehicles near the airport for permission to enter.
The fate of future evacuations was unclear in the aftermath of Thursday’s attacks, however.
The two simultaneous bombings hit late Thursday, hours after Western embassies urged people to leave the area due to the threat of a terror attack by the regional branch of the Islamic State group.
“We can confirm that the explosion at the Abbey Gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in a number of U.S. & civilian casualties,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said on Twitter, referring to an area near the airport typically jammed with would-be evacuees.
“We can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, a short distance from Abbey Gate,” Kirby said.
Video footage from the scene showed what appeared to be dozens of corpses, and witnesses at the scene said that the blasts were followed by gunfire, Reuters news agency reported.
Taliban official Suhail Shaheen said the two explosions took place in an area managed by U.S. forces. “We strongly condemn this gruesome incident and will take every step to bring the culprits to justice,” Reuters quoted him as saying.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s main spokesman, told AFP that “between 13 and 20” people were killed and 52 wounded in the twin blasts.
Twelve U.S. servicemen were among those killed, according to a Pentagon press briefing.
‘VERY CRITICAL’
Earlier, a Bangladeshi diplomat described to BenarNews efforts underway to evacuate 15 Bangladeshis and 160 Afghan students from the Asian University of Women in Chittagong who were stranded in their home country.
“They required permission from the Taliban and U.S. military to go to the airport. They don’t know when they will be able to fly, but they are trying,” Zahangir Alam, Bangladesh’s envoy to Uzbekistan, told BenarNews. He said that UNHCR, the U.N. refugee agency, was coordinating the attempted departure.
“The situation at Kabul airport is very critical. That’s why we are not sure when the journey will start,” Zahangir said.
As Bangladesh currently has no diplomatic mission in Afghanistan, Zahangir has been remotely coordinating evacuations, communicating directly with his countrymen from Tashkent, he said.
In Dhaka on Thursday, speaking to reporters before the bomb blasts, Foreign Minister A.K. Abdul Momen gave limited information about the evacuation efforts.
“We are trying to bring back the Bangladeshis who are in Afghanistan. But we are not disclosing the procedures. There is a fluid situation in Kabul. That’s why we do not want to make any mistakes,” he said.
“Till now we have traced 29 Bangladeshis in Afghanistan,” a senior foreign ministry official, Mashfee Binte Shams, told reporters at the same press conference.
“Of them, about five people have already returned to Bangladesh while more 15 are waiting to go back home. Our effort to bring back the rest is underway.”

May God bless them all, as they are a blessing to others.
[NotTheBee] While the U.S. government flounders to get Americans out of Afghanistan, the non-profit organization started by Glenn Beck has already helped 1200 Afghan Christians to escape from the country.
On Sunday, Beck posted on social media asking Christians to pray and fast for Christians attempting to escape from Afghanistan.
The post received an overwhelming response, despite little media attention. According to Faithwire,
In just 3 days, Beck's audience had donated over $22 million to fund the evacuations of Afghan Christian refugees.
This morning, he shared that the Nazarene Fund was boarding the second group of refugees:
Beck later posted an update to his Facebook page saying that a third plane full of Christians fleeing the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... had departed thanks to The Nazarene Fund and Mercury One.
He went on to say,
"By the end of the week, we will be able to move 7,000 Christians. It's pretty remarkable."
Haqqani’s super duper elite troops. Someone else sponsors the Red Unit, the Taliban’s special forces/shock troops first deployed in Sangin town in Helmand province in 2016, then claimed a victory against ISIS-Khurasan in 2018. We haven’t been hearing much from them recently, for some reason. It should be noted that Sirajuddin Haqqani is counted among Al Qaeda’s leadership, probably their regional vice president for Afghanistan...
[IsraelTimes] The Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... has been showing off its own "special forces" on social media, soldiers in new uniforms equipped with looted American equipment who contrast sharply with the image of the usual Afghan murderous Moslem.
Pictures and videos of fighters in the so-called "Badri 313" unit have been posted online for propaganda purposes to underline how the Taliban have better equipped and trained men at their disposal than in the past, experts say.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The UK Government is now in a race against time to airlift nearly 2,000 Afghan interpreters and other staff who worked for Britannia out of Kabul amid a growing backlash at Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle... over his decision to stick to his August 31 withdrawal deadline. The interpreters are understood to have been deemed eligible to come to the UK and have passed security checks but remain on the ground at Kabul airport.
The Pentagon briefed this afternoon that there are currently 10,000 people in total waiting at the airport for a flight out of the capital.

Biden having completely blown off the Brits is going to disrupt the Dems' attempt to strangle the narrative. Even if the entire US MSM limits itself to reprinting White House press releases, the Brit press won't. The Torygraph twitter feed this morning here is unmerciful.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - but Taliban won't let anyone through crossings and neighbouring countries send BACK those who make it across
The Taliban now control all of Afghanistan's main border crossing points with neighbouring countries, making it difficult for Afghans to flee
For those Afghans who make it across the border, many are being sent back to Afghanistan by the countries
Afghans who reached Iran last week were sent back after being given food while Uzbekistan sent 150 Afghan refugees back to Afghanistan last week as per an agreement with the Taliban

[Garowe] The Somalia-based al-Shabaab ...... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa... murderous Moslems on Tuesday suffered heavy casualties in the Mudug region, central Somalia, state media reported, in the latest crackdown against the turbans, who still control several villages in the country.
According to the state media, at least 90 al-Shabaab bad boyz were potted in an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... in Somalia's central province of Mudug, a statement which has since been confirmed by the Somali National Army [SNA].
"Today al-Shabaab murderous Moslems attempted to attack Amara village and suffered huge losses. This afternoon an airstrike has been carried out against al-Shabaab that killed at least 90 terrorists," it said on Twitter.
Last month, the Somali National Army along with Galmadug regional forces liberated Amaara village from the al-Shabaab turbans. Since then, the troops have been trying to reinforce order and stability in the town, by supporting the local administration.
The statement did not mention which country carried out the airstrike, but state media quoting military officials said that "international partners" were behind it.
But later on Tuesday, the US Africa Command, which has been instrumental in the fight against al-Shabaab, confirmed helping SNA troops in the operation. The US army further said it had not assessed the casualties.
U.S. forces are authorized to conduct strikes in support of combatant commander-designated partner forces under the 2001 Authorization of Use for Military Force, it said in a statement.
"A battle-damage assessment is still pending due to the ongoing engagement between al-Shabaab and Somali forces. The command’s initial assessment is that no civilians were maimed or killed as a result of this airstrike," read the blurb.
However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... al-Shabaab said its fighters attacked the village starting with a suicide boom-mobile blast followed by a firefight. It claimed to have seized 14 vehicles, including 12 belonging to the military, during the fighting.
A military official in the region, who spoke to the Anadolu Agency on the condition of anonymity, said no government forces or regional paramilitary forces were killed but admitted that there are injuries. He said the military repulsed the al-Shabaab attack.
The Federal Government of Somalia and the U.S. remain committed to fighting al-Shabaab to prevent the deaths of innocent civilians, the US said. Violent bad boy organizations like al-Shabaab present long-term threats to the U.S. and regional interests, it added.

[TASS] Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained 31 chieftains and members of an interregional structure of the Katiba al-Tawhid wal-Jihad terrorist organization (outlawed in Russia) in Moscow, the Novosibirsk Region, Yakutsk and the Krasnoyarsk Region during a nationwide sweep, the FSB Public Relations Center told TASS on Wednesday.
"The Federal Security Service in cooperation with the Interior Ministry and Russia’s National Guard as part of a special operation in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Yakutsk, Krasnoyarsk, and in Kansk in the Krasnoyarsk Region, as well as in the hamlet of Prokudskoye in the Novosibirsk Region terminated the activity of an interregional structure of the Katiba al-Tawhid wal-Jihad terrorist organization. Some 31 individuals from among its leadership and participants were detained," the center reported.
According to the FSB, the terrorist cell members recruited and transported adherents to active combat zones, financed the members of the terrorist group located in Syria and incited terror-related crimes.
The FSB reported that the search uncovered proscribed religious literature, Katiba al-Tawhid wal-Jihad’s propaganda videos, as well as communication devices, data storage devices and bank cards. The authorities have opened criminal cases, and active search measures are in progress.

Katiba Tawhid wal Jihad (KTJ) is an Uzbek group which consists of predominantly Uzbek and Kyrgyz militants. It is not clear when this group was established: some sources mention 2013; others, 2014. It pledged alliance to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS) / Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) / Nusra Front on 29 September 2015. KTJ repeatedly blames Russia and the USA for waging war against Islam. KTJ's leader is Abu Saloh, who is allegedly a citizen of Uzbekistan. According to the group's propaganda, they adhere to the al-Qaeda brand of jihadism.
Police on Thursday claimed to have arrested two gunnies of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen outfit in Kishtwar district of Jammu division.
Quoting a police front man, news agency GNS reported that the duo- Ashfaq Qayoom Tak, son of Abdul Qayoom Tak, a resident of Passerkot Takpura Tehsil Chatroo, Kishtwar and Tousif Giri, son of Ghulam Qadir Giri of Pochhal Tehsil Kishtwar- were arrested by a joint team of Kishtwar Police, 11RR and CRPF 52Bn in the forest area of Naid Gam Chatroo during a search operation on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.
Upon their disclosure, arms and ammunition comprising one pistol, one pistol magazine, twenty pistol rounds, one grenade, one Magazine of AK-47, two wireless sets, three leaflets of Hizb letter pad were recovered today from a hideout in the forest area of Pingnal Chatroo, police said.
As per the police front man, the search operation was launched following reliable inputs that the two youth were in close contact with Hizb gunnies in south Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... 's Anantnag district.
The front man further stated that both arrested gunnies were providing information with regard to the security forces to the gunnies and were hatching conspiracy to carry out holy warrior acts in the jurisdiction of Police Station Chatroo. On this information, a case FIR No 53/2021 U/Sec 13, 18-B UAPA dated 24.8.201 has been registered at Police Station Chatroo.
[Rudaw] Iraqi forces in Kirkuk on Tuesday arrested six people, seized a cache of explosives and rockets, and uncovered a terrorist den.
"The Joint Operations Command in Kirkuk arrested six wanted people based on different legal articles, and found three bombs, six different rockets, a terrorist den, as well as 110 60mm mortar fuses," Iraq’s Security Media Cell said late Tuesday.
The operation took place the same day several mortars landed near villages in Erbil’s Qoshtapa sub-district. Qoshtapa lies around 20 kilometers south of Erbil city, along the main road connecting Erbil and Kirkuk.
A source from the local Dibis police in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , told Rudaw they confiscated a vehicle near Amsha village. The vehicle was found with two rockets on it.
Kirkuk is one of the many disputed territories between Kurdistan Region and Baghdad. 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.... group (ISIS) uses these disputed territories as places of hideout and to conduct hit and run attacks against civilian and military targets.
The security void in Kirkuk has also been by groups to carry out rocket attacks. In May, security forces seized five rockets that were "set to launch" in the province’s Altun Kupri district.
Late last month, Iraqi security forces launched a wide anti-ISIS operation in Kirkuk, and Iraqi and Kurdish forces have set up Joint Coordination Centers in disputed areas to increase their cooperation and eliminate the security vacuum, including in Kirkuk.
In separate operations on Wednesday, two ISIS suspects were killed in an Iraqi air force operation in Diyala, and seven other suspects were arrested in Baghdad, Anbar, Nineveh, and Kirkuk, the Security Media Cell announced.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Fifty rebels and their families were evacuated on Thursday from the last opposition bastion in southern Syria under a Russian-sponsored deal to avert a military showdown in the strategic border area with Jordan and Israel, witnesses, rebels and army sources said.
Which rebels might these be? There are so many.
A contingent of Russian military police on Tuesday entered the enclave to impose a plan that allows the army to take it over, while offering safe passage to former rebels who oppose the deal to leave for opposition areas in northwest Syria.
The Russian move halted an attempt to storm the enclave by pro-Iranian army units led by the elite Fourth Division who hold sway in the region and had in recent days tightened a two-month siege, escalating shelling and pushing for a military offensive.
The Syrian army, aided by Russian air power and Iranian militias, in 2018 retook control of the province of which Deraa is the capital and which borders Jordan and Israel’s Golan Heights.
That deal forced thousands of mainstream Western-backed rebels to hand over heavy weapons but kept the army from entering the bastion known as Deraa al Balaad.
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... Moscow gave guarantees to Israel and Washington in 2018 that it would hold back Iranian-backed militias from expanding their influence in the strategic region.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had earlier this month condemned what he termed the "Assad regime’s brutal" assault on Deraa and called for an immediate end to violence "that killed civilians and displaced thousands."
Over 50,000 civilians along with several thousand former rebels lived in the stronghold that was the site of the first peaceful protests against the Assad family rule, which were met by force before spreading across the country.
The area has now become a ghost town after weeks of intermittent fighting and shelling during which the army has prevented food, medical and fuel supplies coming in but opened a corridor for civilians to leave, residents and local officials say.
The enclave and other towns in southern Syria have, since the state regained control of the province, held sporadic protests against Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs... ’s authoritarian rule that are rare in areas under state control.
[NPASYRIA] The military build-up brought in to the vicinity of Daraa are the gangs of Putin, Assad and Khamenei, said As’ad al-Zou’bi, an opposition military analyst, on Thursday.
Over the past two days, the Iranian-backed militias have sent more reinforcements to the vicinity of Daraa al Balad and the besieged neighborhoods. These reinforcements included heavy equipment like tanks, armored vehicles and the 57 artillery. They also included a big number of members, according to local sources.
Al-Zou’bi added that "there are dozens of regimes and gangs that back these reinforcements," considering that the coming days will witness "the Great Battle of al Sham".
"There is no solution looming on the horizon, and the situation will develop. There will be interference and unexpected reactions. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the stand of all the residents of Daraa together will be the last word," he noted.

Al-Zou’bi attributed the reason for Iran’s delay in controlling southern Syria to the "disagreement over the distribution of quotas between the three gangs."
The Iranian-backed militias continue its semi-ongoing targeting the besieged neighborhoods in Daraa governorate: Daraa al-Balad, Tariq al-Sad neighborhood and camps).
For more than two months, the government forces and pro-Iranian factions have besieged the neighborhoods of Daraa al-Balad and closed most of the roads to them.
"Iran’s goal is clear: to bring about complete demographic change in the region. The plan is dangerous and the objectives are profound, but we are still far from understanding these plans," al-Zou’bi stated.

[NPASYRIA] On Thursday, a masked gunman in Hawl camp, east of Hasakah, northeastern Syria, threatened the employees of a foreign non-governmental organization (NGO) to target them if they did not pay money under the name of "tribute", which led the organization’s employees to leave their positions in the camp.
The masked man, who was carrying a pistol, demanded the official of one of the educational centers of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) to pay tribute to all the organization’s workers in and outside the camp.
An informed source in the camp told North Press that the masked gunman demanded $300 for each employee working for the organization in the camp, and $500 for its staff working outside the camp.
He added that the incident took place in an educational center in the fifth sector, which is one of the NRC educational centers in the Hawl camp.
The source pointed out that the masked gunman, believed to be a member of ISIS sleeper cells, fled after warning the NRC employees of the consequences of contacting the security forces, claiming that the place was surrounded by button men affiliated with him.
The organization’s workers evacuated the camp with instructions to the guards of their centers (they are civil servants) to evacuate them in the event of any threat to their lives, according to an organization worker.
The worker suggested that the NRC would suspend its work in the camp until further notice.
The sectors within the Hawl camp lack security points, as the presence of the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) is limited to the camp’s perimeter and to the main gate in the first sector.
The incident is the first of its kind in the camp, which includes families of Lions of Islam of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

(ISIS), and previously, there has been an increase in killings targeting Syrian, Iraqi and foreign residents.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Hawl camp recorded more than 40 killings, in addition to about 30 other killings since mid-April.
[NPASYRIA] On Thursday evening, five other displaced families from the towns of Tel Tamr and Abu Rasin, north of Hasakah, arrived at Newroz camp, near Derik, in the far northeastern Syria, due to the frequent Ottoman Turkish bombardment on their area.
Nadim Omar, a Relations Official in Newroz camp, said that the batch that arrived this evening included five families, numbering 32 members.
During the past three days, 56 families fled the Ottoman Turkish bombardment on Tal Tamr and Abu Rasin and their villages, where the Autonomous Administration secured buses for them.
Omar added that, in addition to families that came individually, the number reached 411 families, in total of 1,880 individuals.
Newroz camp, which was opened during the Ottoman Turkish attack on the areas of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) and Tel Abyad in 2019, includes 715 families, in total of 3,420 individuals.
Local organizations provide "insufficient" aid to newly arrived families due to the continued closure of the alYa’roubiyah humanitarian crossing.
Two days ago, Martin Griffiths, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, warned that the humanitarian needs of millions of Syrians have reached their highest levels since the beginning of the war.
