I hope Kenya spares no time or effort in interrogating these animals.
I also hope they don't waste the oxygen of good lawyers and good judges on a trial.
I just hope that when they have drained them of every ounce of information, there is not enough left to bury.

Quotation from "Barbarossa" by David Glanz (p84)
ZHUKOV: "Today a German soldier deserted to our side, who indicated that this evening the 267th Infantry Division will relieve the beaten 23rd Infantry Division and that he also observed SS units..."
STALIN: "You should not place too much faith in prisoners of war. Interrogate him under torture and then shoot him."
[Intel Briefs] OSINT Summary reports show that a senior Commander of Somali hard boy Islamist group Harakat al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... al-Mujahideen has quit the hard boy group.
Intelligence analyzed by Strategic Intelligence Service shows that Muktar Robow also known as Abu Mansour has been trying to reach the Kenyan authorities to defect.
"Robow has severally made attempts to reach out to us" The Directorate of Military Intelligence in Kenya. "Initially he was not serious about it." DMI adds.
Robow is intelligent and a main pillar of the Somali hard boy Islamist group Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen.
His defection will deny Al-Shabaab vital manpower and intelligence. It is a big blow that, Shabaab will certainly lose all South of Somalia due to Robow's influence there besides the tight noose by Kenya Defense Forces.
Former Al-shabab intelligence Chief Zakariya Ismail Hersi speaking to a radio station also reported that Muktar Robow defected 2 years ago.

alsoreported that Muktar Robow defected 2 years ago.
GARISSA, Kenya -- Somalia's Islamic extremist group al-Shabab warned Saturday of more attacks in Kenya like the assault on Garissa University College that killed 148 people. It's hopeless lads, always has been. Drink up, we're out of here in the morning.
"Kenyan cities will run red with blood," said al-Shabab according to the SITE intelligence monitoring group.
The Islamic militants said the attack on Garissa college was in retaliation for killings carried out by Kenyan troops fighting the rebels in Somalia.
"No amount of precaution or safety measures will be able to guarantee your safety, thwart another attack or prevent another bloodbath," said al-Shabab.
Following the extremists' threats, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta vowed to take harsh measures against the Islamic militants. mIn a nationally televised address, Kenyatta said his administration "shall respond in the severest ways possible" to the Garissa attack, which occurred Thursday when four gunmen entered a campus and slaughtered students. The military moved in hours later and the gunmen were killed.
"We will fight terrorism to the end," said Kenyatta. "I guarantee that my administration shall respond in the fiercest way possible."
I'd suggest that you go medieval on the Shaboobs, but that would be more modern than ever seen by those jokers...
Kenyatta said the country's "security forces are pursuing the remaining accomplices. We will bring all of them to justice ... We are also in active pursuit of the mastermind (of the Garissa attack) and have placed a reward for his capture," said Kenyatta, who declared 3 days of national mourning.
Five people have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the Garissa attack, a Kenyan official said.
Kenyan security agencies arrested three people trying to cross into Somalia, said Interior Ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka in a Twitter post. He said the three are associates of Mohamed Mohamud, also known as Dulyadin Gamadhere, a former teacher at a Kenyan Madrassa Islamic school who authorities say coordinated the Garissa attack. Kenyan authorities have put a $220,000 bounty for information leading to Gamadhere's arrest.
Two other suspects were arrested at Garissa college.
Authorities displayed the bodies of the alleged attackers before about 2,000 people in a large open area in central Garissa. The bodies lay on the bed of a pickup truck that drove slowly past the crowd, which broke into a run in pursuit. Soldiers monitored the crowd. There was shouting and clouds of dust rose as the vehicle left the area.
Spectator Yusuf Mohamed applauded the display, saying authorities wanted to "win the hearts of the people" and clear any doubts that the attackers had been killed.
Kenyan authorities initially said the attackers had been strapped with explosives that went off like bombs when they were shot, but investigators later said there were no suicide vests. The four bodies shown Saturday had wounds but were intact.

[EURONEWS] Euronews gained first-hand experience of the fight against 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... when our correspondent, Luis Carballo, joined African coalition forces in northern Nigeria.
Liberation of Malam Fatori He witnessed what remains of Malam Fatori. Lying on the border with Niger, it is the latest Nigerian village to be liberated from the murderous Moslem group.
Boko Haram had control of Malam Fatori from November 2014 to March 31, 2015, when joint forces from Chad and Niger drove out the Islamists.
The Chadian army speaker says the village is strategically important as Boko Haram was using it as a base from which to direct attacks north into Niger and east, towards Lake Chad.
Its liberation represents a victory for the coalition forces, but the gunnies didn't leave without a fight, as one woman told euronews.
"When Boko Haram arrived five months ago, we left the town and hid in the forest for a while. And then we came back," she said. "Boko Haram seized young women and forced them to marry their fighters. Before they left the town, they grabbed the girls and slaughtered the rest. The fighters escaped in all directions."
Another woman added: "Before Boko Haram arrived, there were plenty of people living here, but now there's almost nobody."
The town is a shadow of its former self, residents tell us, destroyed by Boko Haram before their fighters fled. Burned-down houses and empty streets seem to corroborate their tale.
Our correspondent says he saw no civilian men or young women in the village, just older females and children. Some of them spoke of the hardships they faced under Boko Haram rule. The group is said to have strictly and brutally imposed its own interpretation of Sharia law on the inhabitants.
Soldiers upbeat Despite the losses suffered in the village, Luis Carballo reports the mood among the coalition soldiers is good.They feel, he says, as though they are winning in the fight against the rebels.
He adds: "The war against Boko Haram is being fought on the borders of Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... . Armed participation in this offensive, particularly by the Chadian troops, is changing the situation and, for the first time in many years, the jihadists are losing ground."
A stock of weapons is held at the coalition forces' base camp, around a kilometre from Malam Fatori village.
Army forces tell euronews the stockpile was taken from Boko Haram fighters who were killed in the struggle for the village.
Nigeria criticised Locals fear the rebels will return if the coalition forces leave. For the moment, they will stay until Nigerian army forces arrive to take control of the town.
However, women are made to be loved, not understood... Nigeria has come under criticism from Chadian President Idriss Déby, who says the country has been absent in the fight against Boko Haram and has not taken control of towns and cities liberated by the joint task force.

[NEWS.XINHUANET] As the Saudi-headed bombing against Yemen's Shiite 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 ... group continues on Saturday for the 10th day, another major humanitarian catastrophy is in the making.
The 10-nation coalition dropped more bombs against Houthi targets in Yemen's southern port city of Aden, the last stronghold of the supporters of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is now sheltering in the oil-rich Gulf monarch after being force to flee the country.
The air campaign and naval bombardment were launched to discourage Houthi fighters' attempt to overrun the port city, and to restore Hadi's rule in the country.
According to media report, at least 13 rebel fighters were killed during the Saturday's offensive.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed his guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread... the coalition airdropped weapons and ammunition supplies for the second consecutive day to pro-Hadi fighters in Aden city.
Inside Aden, fighters still loyal to Hadi were reported to have managed to drive the Houthi hard boyz away from several central part of the city, including Hadi's presidential compound.
Al-Kheder Lassouar, Aden's health department head, said at least 185 were killed, and 1,282 others were maimed in the festivities since the start of the Saudi-championed Operation Decisive Storm, adding that three-quarters were civilians.
He also mentioned that the corpse count does not include casualties among the Houthi fighters and other hard boyz they allied with.

ADEN -- Tribal forces in Yemen’s eastern Hadramawt province have taken over two army bases, a day after soldiers there left their posts, and plan to retake the provincial capital Mukalla from suspected Al Qaeda fighters, army sources said on Saturday. Hadramaut used to be an independent turbanate, if I recall correctly.
They said a tribal alliance took control of the bases in Shihr and Riyan, which lie on the Arabian Sea coast northeast of Mukalla, after the army withdrew from them on Friday. It was not immediately clear why troops had abandoned Shihr and Riyan, nor why they pulled out of Mukalla after offering relatively light resistance, but their withdrawal highlighted the further collapse of any central authority in Yemen.
The soldiers didn't want to be the last guys to die for what is, for their side, a lost cause...
That security vacuum may give Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a regional wing of the global jihadi movement, opportunities to entrench itself further in country’s remote eastern reaches.
In a statement, the tribal alliance said it intended to advance on Mukalla and restore security after suspected Al Qaeda fighters drove the army out and ransacked the town, burning buildings and breaking into banks and the main prison.
“The leadership of the tribal alliance of Hadramawt...calls on tribes to mobilise towards Mukalla to keep the peace and stability in Mukalla and other towns in the province,” the statement said.
Witnesses and tribal sources said armed men were gathering outside Mukalla, and were waiting for reinforcements before advancing on the town itself.
Suspected Al Qaeda fighters stormed Mukalla’s prison on Thursday, freeing 150 detainees including a prominent local Al Qaeda leader, Khaled Batarfi, Yemeni officials said. They also broke into banks and set fire to the television broadcasting building, residents said.
But did they loot the liquor stores?

Aden -- Fierce fighting for control of Yemen’s main southern city Aden has left at least 185 people dead and more than 1,200 wounded, including many civilians, a medical official said Saturday. The port city, a last foothold of supporters of absent President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, has been shaken by more than a week of clashes between rebels and loyalist militia.
At least 185 dead and 1,282 wounded from the fighting have been counted in hospitals in Aden since March 26, the city’s health department director Al Kheder Lassouar said. Three-quarters were civilians, he added.
The toll does not include victims among the rebels and their allies who do not take their casualties to public hospitals, he said. It also excludes victims of air raids that have been pounding rebel positions around the country since March 26 to try to prevent the fall of Hadi, he added.
Lassouar called on international organisations and states participating in the coalition to provide emergency medical assistance to hospitals in Aden.
“Medicine stocks are exhausted and hospitals can no longer cope with the increasing number of victims,” he said.
The United Nations said on Thursday that 519 people had been killed and nearly 1,700 injured in two weeks of fighting around the country.

[RUDAW.NET] Romania's intelligence agency says a Bucharest court has ruled that six foreigners have been banned from the country due to their links with al-Qaeda and the Islamic state.
The Romanian Intelligence Service said late Friday that a court has declared the six "undesirable" and banned them from Romania for three to six years. It said the six were working for companies with foreign capital and had been under surveillance since 2013.
It said the six "maintained and developed links with terrorist elements outside the country," promoting 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.... and al-Qaeda and recruiting people for ideological and military purposes.
It did not specify whether they had already been expelled.
One was a Tunisian national. There was no information about the others.

[AnNahar] Romania will expel seven foreign nationals accused of recruiting members for 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.... group and Al-Qaeda and propagating their ideas in the eastern European country, officials said Saturday.
The Bucharest court of appeal this week ruled in separate cases that the seven should be prohibited from returning to the country for between three to seven years, Romania's interior intelligence agency SRI said in a statement.
Six of the foreigners made up a group "affiliated to radical ideologies of the Al-Qaeda and Islamic State terrorist groups" and carried out "Islamic bully boy propaganda... (and) recruitment for religious and military training in conflict zones affected by terrorism," the statement said.
The seventh, a Tunisian national, expressed "a wish to become a martyr" for a terror group and made "constant steps to attract new supporters."
Hundreds of imported muscle, many of them from Europe, have joined the IS jihadist group that has grabbed control of large swathes of war-torn Syria and Iraq.
[DAWN] Helicopter gunships conducted several air sorties in parts of Tirah valley in Khyber tribal region on Saturday morning, killing at least five suspected hard boyz and destroying their hideouts. In South Wazoo, two soldiers bit the dust in a bomb kaboom.
Although the military did not issue any statement about casualties, intelligence officials claimed five suspects affiliated with the banned Lashkar-e-Islam ...a group of Islamic bandidos infesting Khyber Agency. It's headed by a former bus driver.... were killed.
The aerial attacks were part of the ongoing Khyber-II operation aimed at flushing out hard boyz from the valley.
The official said helicopters attacked LI positions in Nangrosa, Spin Drand and Thor Khel areas of Sipah where hard boyz had some of their important hideouts and bunkers on adjoining hilltops which posed a hazard to ground offensives by security forces.
Security officials had earlier claimed to have taken control of some important localities in Sipah where the LI had strong presence.
LI front man Salahuddin Ayubi conceded the destruction of hideouts on Saturday but insisted that no activist of the group had been killed. He also claimed that hard boyz had captured two soldiers but the claims could not be verified.
Sailab Mahsud adds from Dera Ismail Khan ... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... : At least two soldiers were killed when an improvised bomb went off near a military vehicle in Nanno area of South Waziristan.
A local front man for the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, Azam Tariq Mahsud, grabbed credit for the attack.

[AnNahar] Two bomb disposal technicians died in a roadside kaboomkaboom Saturday as they cleared a route for troops in a restive Pak tribal region near the Afghan border, officials said.
The incident took place in the Barwand area of South Wazoo tribal district, one of Pakistain's seven semi-autonomous tribal regions, which is considered a stronghold of Talibs.
"Two bomb disposal officials were clearing the route for troop movement when an improvised bomb went off, killing both of them," a security bigshot told AFP.
The semi-autonomous tribal areas on the Afghan border have for years been a hideout for Islamist gunnies of all stripes, including Al-Qaeda and the Pak Taliban as well as imported muscle such as Uzbeks and Uighurs.
Pakistain began a long-awaited push to clear myrmidon bases from North Waziristan last June after a bloody Taliban attack on Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... airport finally sank faltering peace talks.
Washington has pressed Islamabad for years to wipe out the sanctuaries in the North Waziristan tribal area, which gunnies have used to launch attacks on NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... forces in Afghanistan.
Air strikes, artillery, mortars and ground troops have all been used to take back territory.
[AnNahar] High in the mountains along the Afghan border, Pakistain's fight against Talibs is focusing on their last, fearsome redoubt -- the notorious Tirah Valley, home to renegades and rebels for centuries.
"Fazlullah either remains in Afghanistan or in Tirah. We started this operation based on reports that he has arrived in Tirah."
The military has mounted a series of air strikes and ground assaults in Tirah in recent weeks that it says have captured key passes in a remote region that has never before come under full government control.
The operation in Tirah, part of Khyber tribal area, aims to build on the army's offensive against strongholds of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) and other hard boy groups in nearby North Wazoo that began in June last year.
Last month the army said it killed at least 230 bandidosmurderous Moslems in Tirah, which has long been a hideout for TTP ally Lashkar-e-Islam ...a group of Islamic bandidos infesting Khyber Agency. It's headed by a former bus driver.... (LI).
Security officials in the northwest told AFP that the so-called Khyber II operation to shut down LI's hideouts in Tirah began in earnest on March 18, and ground skirmishes are continuing.
Chief military front manMajor General Asim Saleem Bajwa ... who is The Very Model of a Modern Major General... tweeted last week that the strategic Masatul pass, which links to Afghanistan's restive Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province, had been secured.
A security source in the northwest said other important passes had also been taken.
"We have taken over three main strategic locations by moving ground forces to Masatul Pass, Takhtakai mountain and Sokh area," one security source told AFP.
"With these gains, we have blocked their movement from and to Orakzai Agency ... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers... , Kurram, Bara and Afghanistan."
The area is remote and off-limits to journalists, making it difficult to verify the army's claims -- and the number and identity of those killed.
TTP front man Muhammad Khurasani denied the claims, saying his group has killed 30 soldiers so far and lost only three hard boys.
- Fierce independence -
If the operation is a success and the military brings Tirah under government control, it will end the renegade status the area has enjoyed for hundreds of years.
Tirah's geography makes it an almost perfect hideout. Rather than a single valley, it is a network of peaks and vales covering an area of 1500-1800 square kilometres (600-700 square miles) at altitudes of up to 2,500 metres (8,000 feet).
The valleys are steep-sided and covered to a large extent with dense woodland. There are no roads in the area, with locals largely relying on mules and horses for transport.
Tirah also has some of Pakistain's most fertile land for marijuana and opium, which has helped hard boy groups fund their activities.
To the north the Spin Ghar mountain range, soaring to a highest point of nearly 4,800 metres, separates Tirah from Afghanistan's Tora Bora, where the late Osama bin Laden ... who is no longer with us, and won't be again... reputedly hid out after the US invasion in 2001.
This isolation and inaccessibility have made the area an easy place to hide, a hard place to control and a favoured bolthole for rebels since the days of the Mughal empire.
- Taliban bolthole -
But it is not Tirah's history that is motivating the army's current charge.
The fight against bandidosmurderous Moslems was given fresh impetus in December when TTP gunnies massacred more than 150 people, most of them children, at a school in the northwestern city of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), 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. Tirah's eastern end leads directly to the plain on which Peshawar sits and army chiefs believe securing it will help stop attacks on the city and its suburban hinterland.
"This is the last hideout for LI bandidosmurderous Moslems and their TTP affiliates. This is the battle of their survival and military action will curtail the movement of Taliban," a security official privy to the latest fighting told AFP.
Security analyst Imtiaz Gul agreed taking Tirah would help secure Peshawar, which has borne the brunt of the TTP's nearly eight-year fight against the state.
"It will degrade their capability and dislodge their shelters. Denying a space to the bandidosmurderous Moslems and clearing an important bastion such as Tirah will curtail the overall movement of the hard boys," Gul told AFP.
Besides the strategic importance of the captured locations, officials say Tirah is the only hideout left in Pakistain for TTP chief Mullah Fazlullah ...son-in-law of holy man Sufi Mohammad. Known as Mullah FM, Fazlullah had the habit of grabbing his FM mike when the mood struck him and bellowing forth sermons. Sufi suckered the Pak govt into imposing Shariah on the Swat Valley and then stepped aside whilst Fazlullah and his Talibs imposed a reign of terror on the populace like they hadn't seen before, at least not for a thousand years or so. For some reason the Pak intel services were never able to locate his transmitter, much less bomb it. After ruling the place like a conquered province for a year or so, Fazlullah's Talibs began gobbling up more territory as they pushed toward Islamabad, at which point as a matter of self-preservation the Mighty Pak Army threw them out and chased them into Afghanistan... Fazlullah, believed to have ordered the 2012 murder attempt on schoolgirl campaigner Malala Yousafzai ...a Pashtun blogger and advocate for girls' education from Mingora, in Swat. She started blogging at age 11-12. She was 15 when a Talib boarded her school bus and shot her in the head in 2012. She was evacuated to a hospital in Britain and the Pak Taliban vowed to kill her and her father. Among other awards, she received the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, which she deserved more than Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Yasser Arafat, or Rigoberta Menchu... , became public enemy number one for many in Pakistain after the Peshawar massacre.
"Fazlullah either remains in Afghanistan or in Tirah. We started this operation based on reports that he has arrived in Tirah. If we clear this area from the hard boys, he won't have any place to hide," a security official said.
Arabs being victorious...
On April 1, the city of Tikrit was liberated from the Lion of Islam group 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.... . The Shi'ite-led central government and allied militias, after a month-long battle, had expelled the barbarous Sunni radicals. Then, some of the liberators took Dire Revenge. An Arab tradition, demanded to maintain Honor and Dignity™. Near the charred, bullet-scarred government headquarters, two federal coppers flanked a suspected Islamic State fighter. Urged on by a furious mob, the two officers took out knives and repeatedly stabbed the man in the neck and slit his throat. The killing was witnessed by two Rooters correspondents. Somehow my sympathy meter remains on zero for Islamic State turbans.
The incident is now under investigation, interior ministry front man Brigadier General Saad Maan told Rooters. I really fail to get riled up at the thought. If you're fighting somebody who doesn't merely ignore, but consciously flouts rules of war dating back five hundred years or so then they're not due any mercy, are they?
Since its recapture two days ago, the Sunni city of Tikrit has been the scene of violence and looting. When the IS took the city didn't they kill everybody who disagreed with them and steal their property?
In addition to the killing of the Lion of Islam combatant, Rooters correspondents also saw a convoy of Shi'ite paramilitary fighters -- the government's partners in liberating the city -- drag a corpse through the streets behind their car. The sort of thing real soldiers expect from undisciplined militias. Local officials said the mayhem continues. Two security officers, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , said on Friday that dozens of homes had been torched in the city. They added that they had witnessed the looting of stores by Shi'ite militiamen. Sounds like a job for the Bloody Provost.
Later Friday, Ahmed al-Kraim, head of the Salahuddin Provincial Council, told Rooters that mobs had burned down "hundreds of houses" and looted shops over the past two days. Government security forces, he said, were afraid to confront the mobs. Kraim said he left the city late Friday afternoon because the situation was spinning out of control. "Our city was burnt in front of our eyes. We can't control what is going on," Kraim said. In a city that welcomed the enemy with open arms, where partisans killed those who opposed the enemy even in theory, there's really no surprise. Probably things would have gone better had the inhabitants turned on the turbans and strung them up from the lamp posts. A "Welcome Government Troops" banner across Main Street would have helped, but there wasn't one. Now the inhabitants have to cope with the Deep Blue Sea.
Those reports could not be immediately confirmed. ... but they're probably accurate.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. Was that a voice from Cloud Cuckooland?
Islamic State, an Al Qaeda offshoot that arose from the chaos in Iraq and Syria, slaughtered thousands and seized much of northern and central Iraq last year. I said that.
The government offensive was meant not only to dislodge the group but also to transcend the fundamental divide in fractured Iraq: the enmity between the now-ruling Shi'ite majority and the country's formerly dominant Sunni minority. Nice in theory, unlikely in practice. Had the city surrendered, maybe. Instead it had to be taken by storm.
Officials close to Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, a moderate Shi'ite, had described the Tikrit campaign as a chance to demonstrate his government's independence from one source of its power: Iraqi Shi'ite militias backed by Shi'ite Iran and advised by Iranian military officers. Sunnis deeply mistrust and fear these paramilitaries, accusing them of summary executions and vandalism. But Abadi has had to rely on the Shi'ite militias on the battlefield, as Iraq's regular military deserted en masse last summer in the Islamic State onslaught. A lot more ferocious on the parade ground than on the battlefield, are they? Had Maliki not stiffed the Sawha maybe things would have gone a little better. But we obviously wasted a lot of time training the Iraqi army.
The militia groups spearheaded the start of the Tikrit assault in early March. An armored shock brigade would have worked better, but that would have required disciplined troops led by competent officers, which ain't really an Arab thing.
But after two weeks of fighting, Abadi enforced a pause. Asserting his power over the Shi'ite militias, he called in U.S. Arclight airstrikes. I saw an article yesterday where the militias were dismissing the effectiveness of the airstrikes. One guy said he'd seen U.S. aircraft dropping supplies to the IS positions.
Now, the looting and violence in Tikrit threaten to tarnish Abadi's victory. It risks signaling to Sunni Iraqis that the central government is weak and not trustworthy enough to recapture other territory held by Islamic State, including the much larger city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . Tikrit, hometown of the late dictator Saddam Hussein, is in the Sunni heartland of Iraq. Too bad they had to rely on a militia, which in this case is basically an armed mob. Had the govt left it to the Peshmerga it probably would have gone better, but that's politix, not strategy.
At stake is much more than future votes: Islamic State's rapid conquests in 2014 were made possible by support from Sunni tribal forces and ordinary citizens. They were convinced that the government -- under Abadi's predecessor, Nuri al-Maliki -- viewed their community as terrorists. If Sunnis dislike what they see in Tikrit, they may not back the government's efforts against Islamic State. Abadi's approach should be reconciliation now. The Sunnis have the example of what being conquered by militias will get them. If they string up the turbans and let the govt in all that happens is a change in city hall.
DEFENDING LIVES AND PROPERTY On Friday, the government sought to assure all sides that it will enforce order. Abadi issued a statement calling on the security forces to arrest anyone breaking the law. Good idea. The Bloody Provost?
Asked to comment on the scenes witnessed by Rooters, his front man Rafid Jaboori said he would not address individual incidents but said: "People's lives and property are priorities, whether in this operation or in the overall military effort to liberate the rest of Iraq." If there's reconciliation it has to be on the basis of nationality, not religion.
Sunni politicians who visited Tikrit complained that events have spun out of control since the security forces and militias retook the city. We've already discussed that.
Parliamentarian Mutashar al-Samarrai credited the government with orchestrating a smooth entrance into Tikrit. But he said that some Shi'ite paramilitary factions had exploited the situation. "I believe this happened on purpose to disrupt the government's achievement in Tikrit," Samarrai said. "This is a struggle between the (paramilitaries) and the government for control." They creating a new problem while solving the immediate (bigger) problem. Since the immediate problem's existential and the Mooksters and the Badr Brigades aren't quite, they have to go with what they have. That doesn't mean the militias have to be given free rein.
Neighborhoods entered by the Iraqi forces and Shi'ite paramilitaries have been burnt, including parts of neighboring Dour and Auja, the birthplace of Saddam Hussein. The heart (urp!) bleeds.
Security forces blame Islamic State for rigging houses with explosives, while Sunnis suspect the Shi'ite militias and the army and police of deliberately torching their homes. Probably both statements are true. Certainly the IS left enough booby traps behind in Kobane. The places being deliberately burnt might be according to who's inhabiting them and how they conducted themselves while under occupation.
Looting has also been a problem. Shi'ite paramilitary fighters in pickup trucks raced through the city carrying goods that appeared to have been looted from homes and government offices. The vehicles were crammed with refrigerators, air conditioners, computer printers, and furniture. A young militia fighter rode on a red bicycle, gleefully shouting: "I always dreamed of having a bike like this as a kid." Discipline. Gallows. Pour encourager les autres.
Brigadier General Maan, the main front man for the government forces, said police were stopping vehicles that appeared to have stolen items. "We are doing our best to impose the law."
IRAN'S FINGERPRINTS Passions were running high among the Shi'ite militia groups before the assault. Islamic State beheaded people and carried out other atrocities in the lands it conquered. In particular, the militias wanted Dire Revenge for Islamic State's killing in June of hundreds of Iraqi soldiers captured from Camp Speicher, a base near Tikrit. It was an event that came to symbolize the Sunni jihadists' barbarism. That's kinda the situation, isn't it? The enemy's barbarism justifies counter-barbarism. Hundreds of murdered comrades leads to probably only a few dozen slaughtered murderers since the actual butchers are probably congratulating each other on their escape to slice again another day.
Despite Baghdad's efforts to rein in the paramilitaries, the fingerprints of the Shi'ite militias -- and of Iran itself -- were all over the operation's final hours. They were before the final offensive,
On Wednesday, as Tikrit fell, holy warriors were racing to stencil their names on houses in order to take credit for the victory. Meanwhile the guys who's done the actual fighting were probably looking for a hot meal, some sleep, and a hooker if they were lucky.
An Iranian fighter, with a Kalashnikov rifle slung over his shoulder and a picture of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei pinned to his chest, bragging about Tehran's role in the campaign: "I am proud to participate in the battle to liberate Tikrit," said the man, who called himself Sheik Dawood. "Iran and Iraq are one state now." That's the idea in Terrorhan. But that'll be the next fight after this one.
On the edge of Tikrit in the hours after the city's fall, a Shi'ite paramilitary group drove in a convoy past several police cars. The holy warriors had strung the corpse of a suspected Islamic State fighter from the back of a white Toyota pickup truck. The cable dragging the man snapped, and the vehicle stopped. The men got out to retie the bullet-riddled corpse. As they fastened the cable tighter to the body, a song about their victory over Islamic State played on the truck's stereo. Then they sped off, the corpse kicking up a cloud of dust. Eventually they just kinda wear down on the asphalt and you're left with nothing but a pair of feet.
The coppers standing nearby did nothing. ... assuming there was anything to do.
On Wednesday afternoon, Rooters saw two suspected Islamic State detainees -- identified as an Egyptian and a Sudanese national -- in a room in a government building. The Egyptian and the Sudanese were then taken outside by police intelligence. Word spread that the two suspected Islamic State prisoners were being escorted out. Federal coppers, who had lost an officer named Colonel Imad the previous day in a bombing, flocked around the detainees. "Question One: Why aren't you guyz in Sudan and Egypt, respectively?"
The interior ministry front man, Brigadier Maan, said the Egyptian had stabbed an Iraqi police officer, which explains the anger against him. Rooters couldn't verify that claim. The two prisoners were put in the back of a pickup truck. As the vehicle tried to leave, the crowd blocked it. "We're waiting for answers, turban boyz!"
The federal coppers started shouting to the intelligence officers: Hand over the men. The intelligence officers tried to shield the prisoners. One pulled a sidearm as the federal police began swinging their fists. The mob was screaming: "We want to avenge our Lieutenant Colonel." "Well, y'see... These things happen..."
Shi'ite paramilitary men swarmed the area. The street filled with more than 20 federal police. Gunfire erupted. Bullets ricocheted. At least one of the Shi'ite fighters was maimed, and began bleeding from the leg. "We come fer yer prisoners, Sharif!"
"Back off, boyz! Nobody takes our prisoners!"
The pickup truck tried to back up. People in the mob grabbed one of the prisoners from the truck, the Egyptian, and pulled him out. "Nobody takes our remaining prisoner!"
The Egyptian sat silently at the feet of two big coppers in their twenties. His eyes filled with fear. He was surrounded by a few dozen people, a mix of federal police and Shi'ite militiamen. "That's how it feels, al-Misery!"
"He is Daesh, and we should take Dire Revenge for Colonel Imad," the two federal coppers yelled, using a derogatory Arabic term for Islamic State. It's not "derogatory." It's an abbreviation. There's a difference between "hated" and "derogatory." Usually.
One of the coppers held a black-handled knife with a four-to-five-inch blade. The other gripped a folding knife, with a three-inch blade and a brown handle. They waved their knives in the air, to cheers from the crowd, and chanted: "We will slaughter him. We will take Dire Revenge for Colonel Imad. We will slaughter him." "Orf wif 'is 'ead!"
The coppers laid the Egyptian's head over the curb. Then one of the police pushed the other out of the way and he swung his whole body down, landing the knife into the Egyptian's neck. The cop lifted the knife and thrust the blade in the Egyptian's neck a second time. Blood gushed out, staining the boots of the cheering onlookers. Life's tough. It ain't all ridin' through the streets and grinning with your black flag flying.
The killer started to saw through the neck, but it was slow-going. He lifted the blade again and slammed it into the Egyptian's neck another four times. Then he sawed back and forth.
"BRING ME A CABLE"
Their fellow coppers chanted: "We took Dire Revenge for Colonel Imad." By chopping the head off one guy?
The killer lifted himself up the street pole next to the dying man so he could address his comrades: "Colonel Imad was a brave man. Colonel Imad didn't deserve to die at the hands of dirty Daesh. This is a message to Colonel Imad's family don't be sad, raise your heads." "He's still dead as a rock, but now so's a piece of Egyptian scum!"
Then he shouted: "Let's tie the body to the pole so everyone can see. Bring a cable. Bring a cable." "Fly the body like a flag!"
His friend with the folding knife kept trying to stab the Egyptian, with no success. He cried out: "I need a sharp knife. I want to behead this dirty Daesh." Finally the men found a cable, fastened it to the dead man's feet and dangled him from the pole. And this is the cops we're discussing. Imagine how well-behaved everybody else is.
One policeman grew upset at the spectacle and shouted: "There are dozens of media here. This is not the suitable time. Why do you want to embarrass us?" It's only embarrassing if it's done in public. Right.
The mob ignored him and continued trying to hoist the body. White bone stuck out from his slashed neck, his head flopped from side to side, and the blood continued to gush forth.

[ARA] Over the past few days, activists documented the discovery of several mass graves in the countryside of Gire Spi (Tel Abyad) in Raqqa province, and Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) in Hasakah province, in northeastern Syria.
The mass graves apparently belong to holy warriors of the radical group of 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.... (IS/ISIS).
Speaking to ARA News, Omid Khashman, a media activist accompanying the People's Protection Units (YPG) said that they were able to document several mass graves "with the corpse counts and locations".
Khashman pointed out that one of the graves was located near the water purification plant east of Ain Issa near the city of Tel Abyad in the northern countryside of Raqqa, with more than 69 IS bodies, most of whom were of Arab and foreign nationalities, according to an IS-linked source.
"The first mass grave was found in the village of Mariran south of Tel Abyad, and contained the bodies of between 40 and 55 IS krazed killers," the source added.
"The second grave was found in the village of Tel Fender (5 km west of Tel Abyad) with 70 bodies, and the third one was in the village of Hamam Turkuman with 193 bodies; it was first discovered by locals," Khashman told ARA News.
Additionally, the silos of Dihliz grave, east of the Suluk district, and west of the city of Sere Kaniye, include more than 200 bodies belonging to the radical group.
The source added that most of the bodies were "very recently buried".
In the meantime, activists speculate that the radical group has carried out collective death sentences against its members after they tried to dissent and flee to their countries, especially the foreigners.
Khashman confirmed that those graves have been "carefully documented". "We have also the Jourat Hotel in Suluk district, in eastern Tel Abyad, which includes hundreds of IS dead bodies," he said.
Answering to ARA News about how these mass graves were discovered, Khashman said: "The villagers of the area discovered these graves because of the severe smell of decomposing bodies that spread with the high outdoor temperatures."
Khashman pointed out that they had earlier discovered a mass grave of IS holy warriors near the village of Jalabiya, south of Kobane, with more than 350 bodies, adding there are dozens of other graves yet to be discovered.
According to observers, the jihadists' successive defeats recently in Iraq and Syria, particularly in the cities of Kobane, Tel Brak, and Tel Hamis at the hands of Kurdish forces, have weakened the group's power and that's why dozens of its holy warriors attempted to flee; however, the IS strategy of showing strength appeared in many areas of control, such as in Aleppo's Manbij and its countryside; the group carried out dozens of field executions against civilians there.

There are also numerous mass graves of Japanese soldiers on Pacific Islands. Gotta do something when you have a pile of KIA

Sounds like the Kurds, the tribes, and the occasional US bomb is killing them faster than they can bury them.
Mass graves work when your casualties outnumber the shovels.

[ARA] Pro-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.... (IS/ISIS) media sources published Friday images of the execution of civilians from Shaddadi (60 km south of Hasakah), in northeastern Syria, who were incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! at the hands of an IS-linked security group.
The victims reportedly confessed their links with the Syrian regime as well as preparing pro-regime sleeper cells in IS-held areas.
Pro-IS media sources published a photo of a victim with a caption saying: "The security apparatus in the state of al-Barakah (Hasakah) arrested these apostates recruited by the regime to serve as sleeper cells."
"The apostates have been interrogated to reveal the names of all the pro-regime sleeper cells," another caption on a second victim's photo read.
While the third image showed two kneeling detainees, handcuffed, blinded and dressed in orange or what has become known as "the death dress".
Before implementing the execution, the executioners recited a statement explaining their reasoning for the sentence in front of a crowd of civilians, who were obligated to watch the death sentence by firing squad.
Speaking to ARA News in Hasakah, an eyewitness Y.S. said (on the condition of anonymity) that the Islamic State is killing opponents, imposing its laws on people, tightening it grip on them and enforcing many other strict regulations on the daily lives of civilians.
"IS criminalizes smokers and punishes them by death and cuts off the hands of people on charges of theft. So now the people of the city fear making any inadvertent violations against those strict rules for fear of brutal punishment," the source added.
Over the past four years, the Islamic State carried out numerous executions by firing squad, slaughtering, and burning to death. The hardline group has repeatedly implemented the punishment of cutting off the hand in all areas under its control, claiming application of the Islamic law (aka Sharia).

[WASHINGTONPOST] Civilians trapped in a Paleostinian refugee camp in Syria's capital fled to safer areas Saturday amid intense shelling and festivities between Paleostinian armed factions and Islamic murderous Moslems who have taken over most of the camp, Syrian activists said.
A Damascus-based Paleostinian official, Khaled Abdul-Majid, said the murderous Moslems now control about half of the Yarmouk camp, located on the southern edge of the Syrian capital.
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.... murderous Moslems stormed the camp Wednesday, marking the myrmidon group's deepest foray yet into the capital. Paleostinian officials and Syrian activists said they were working with rivals from the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, Jabhat al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... , also known as the al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front. The two groups have fought each other in other parts of Syria but appear to be cooperating in the attack on Yarmouk.
The Islamic State's presence in Yarmouk gives it an important foothold only a few miles from Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad The Scourge of Hama... 's seat of power. It also gives the group a potential sanctuary where U.S.-led coalition forces would be unlikely to strike because of the camp's proximity to Damascus.
The United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... said around 18,000 civilians, including a large number of children, are trapped in Yarmouk. The camp has been under government siege for nearly two years, leading to starvation and illnesses caused by lack of medical aid. The camp has also witnessed several rounds of ferocious and deadly fighting between government forces and krazed killers.

[Jerusalem Post] ISIS has taken control of 90 percent of the Palestinian refugee camp on the Damascus outskirts where 18,000 civilians have suffered years of bombing, army siege and militia control.
The Palestine Liberation Organization on Saturday urgently appealed to the international community on behalf of thousands of refugees ensnared in the ongoing fighting at the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus.
Islamic State has taken control of 90 percent of the Palestinian refugee camp on the Damascus outskirts where 18,000 civilians have suffered years of bombing, army siege and militia control, a monitoring group said on Saturday.
The hardline group's offensive in Yarmouk gives it a major presence in the capital. Islamic State, the most powerful insurgent group in Syria, is now only a few kilometers from President Bashar Assad's seat of power.
The United Nations has said it is extremely concerned about the safety and protection of Syrians and Palestinians in the camp. Civilians trapped there have long suffered a government siege that has led to starvation and disease.
"The situation in Yarmouk is an affront to the humanity of all of us, a source of universal shame," UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) spokesman Chris Gunness said.

Once full control of Yarmouk is achieved, it is believed the ISIS will begin recruiting amongst the Paleos - likely won't be a good outcome for those Paleos whom refuse to join.

It said ISIL targets near various Iraqi cities, including djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and Baiji, were hit in nine air attacks during the 24 hours to Saturday morning.
In Syria, five air strikes were carried out near the northern border town of Kobane and one near Hasakah, the statement said.
Strikes have been ongoing in Iraq since 8 August and Syria since 23 September. More than 2,000 have been carried out, hindering but not defeating ISIL fighters who last year took control of large areas of both countries.
Shia paramilitaries started leaving Tikrit on Saturday following a government deal after locals complained that some fighters had spent several days looting the Sunni city after helping retake it from ISIL.
A United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... report said that under ISIL, Syria and Iraq had become "finishing schools" for foreign myrmidons.
