[DAWN] The Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. district council was informed on Monday that the truckers bound for Afghanistan were being forced to pay Rs5,000 extortion per truck at the provincial city’s fruit and vegetable market in the name of the Afghan Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... .
Speaking on a point of order, opposition leader Syed Zahir claimed that faceless myrmidons were collecting extortion money from the truckers transporting fruits and vegetables to Afghanistan in Peshawar and those not making that payment got threatening calls from someone based in Afghanistan.
He said the truckers had no option but to pay extortion money.
He distributed a receipt of Rs5,000 extortion payment to journalists and councillors.
The receipt carrying the logo of the so-called Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Economic and Finance Commission had the truck’s number, the amount received, driver’s name and other details on it.
When contacted, several truck drivers and fruit and vegetable traders confirmed the collection of extortion money.
"I don’t know whether the people collecting extortion are the Afghan Taliban or not but it is true that money is being extorted from the people in the fruit and vegetable markets," a vegetable dealer told Dawn on condition of anonymity.
He said the illegal activity had been going on for around two months.
He dealer said two unidentified people riding a cycle of violence collected money from drivers as fruits or vegetables were loaded onto trucks.
"If the motorcyclists miss trucks inside the fruit and vegetable markets, then they catch them on the Ring Road to force drivers to pay extortion money before going away," he said.

[PULSE.NG] The Nigerian Army has disclosed that eight soldiers were killed in an attack carried out by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Death Eaters on a military base in Buni Gari village, Yobe State.
According to a report by AFP, Boko Haram faction, the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacked the military base on Saturday, December 1, 2018.
While the previous corpse count disclosed by military sources indicated that two soldiers were killed, new Army spokesperson, Brigadier General Sani Usman, told AFP on Tuesday that eight died as a result of the attack. The Army spokesperson also revealed that 10 bad boyz were potted by troops during the attack.
"Eight of our gallant troops paid the supreme price while over 10 Boko Haram bad boyz were potted by the troops during the encounter," he said.
The Death Eaters were reported to have destroyed an armoured vehicle during the attack.
The attack follows a recent resurgence in the group's deadly attacks in the northeast region as it has launched several assaults on military bases.
Two weeks ago, Death Eaters overran the 157 Task Force Battalion in Metele village in Guzamala local government area of Borno State during an attack on November 18.
Even though many reports indicated that over 100 soldiers were killed in the attack, with many others missing, the Army disclosed in a statement that 23 soldiers were killed with 31 others injured.
The statement also revealed that Death Eaters staged a series of attacks on Nigerian troops between November 2 and November 17. The attacks took place in Kukawa, Ngoshe, Kareto and Gajiram, all in Borno, but were 'successfully repelled' by troops who killed 'several members' of the terrorist group. However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... 16 soldiers were killed in the attacks while 12 were maimed.
The Army also noted that despite systematically degrading Boko Haram in the past three years, the Death Eaters are staging a resurgence with daring moves that include the increased use of drones against troops' defensive positions and infusion of imported muscle in their ranks.

According to these claims, the Saudi-backed troops were killed when a Coalition warplane bombed their allies that were waging an attack against the 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. 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 ... forces in the al-Bayda Governorate.
The Saudi Coalition has yet to comment on these allegations.
Over the last 72 hours, the Saudi Coalition troops have been advancing in the al-Bayda Governorate after launching a big offensive inside the province.

[SD Union Trib] A suicide car bomber attacked a police headquarters in the Iranian port city of Chabahar on Thursday, killing at least two police and wounding 28 people, state TV reported. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) unleashed a powerful assault against the jihadist rebels in southern Idlib, today, after another volatile night around the demilitarized zone.
Led by their 4th Armored Division, the Syrian Arab Army attacked the jihadist defenses along the Idlib-Hama axis, scoring several direct hits on the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham trenches in this area.
Among the areas targeted by the Syrian Arab Army were the jihadist trenches near the towns of Khuwayn, Sukeek, Khan Sheikhoun, and al-Taman’ah.
In response to the Syrian Arab Army’s big assault in southern Idlib, the jihadist rebels fired several missiles towards the government positions south of Khuwayn.
The situation around the demilitarized zone remains very tense, despite attempts by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and Russia to mediate an immediate ceasefire between all parties in the area.
The Syrian Arab Army is pushing to launch a new military operation; however, they are being cautioned by the Russian Reconciliation Center, who wants to give Turkey time to force the jihadists to withdraw from the area.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Day three of the battle of Hajin commenced this morning with the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) attempting to advance deeper into the town.
According to SDF activists, their troops managed to seize half of Hajin on Wednesday after breaking through the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... ’s (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) lines inside the northern part of this town in Deir Ezzor’s southeastern countryside.
However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... pro-ISIS media has denied these claims, stating that the Syrian Democratic Forces do not control any parts of the town, including the local hospital and mosque.
While the SDF’s capture of half the town cannot be corroborated at this point, it does appear that they have seized several points inside of Hajin.
Some SDF activists have released photos of the captured areas in Hajin to corroborate their recent claims; however, no one has posted images of the U.S.-backed troops in the town-center.
One thing that is for sure at this stage of the battle is the casualties are mounting for both parties, as dozens of fighters on both sides have been reported dead and maimed.
For ISIS, losing Hajin would be devastating as they have already conceded all of their major cities (djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Raqqa, Mayadeen, Albukamal, Deir Ezzor, Qa’im, et al.) to the SDF, Syrian Army, Iraqi Army, Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels, and Peshmerga forces.
