[Iran Press TV] Afghanistan's Interior Ministry has announced the killing of 24 suspected Talibs across the war-torn country in a series operations by the Afghan army and security forces.
"A total of 24 armed hard boyz have been killed during police operations backed by the army and National Directorate for Security over the past 24 hours," said the ministry in a Saturday statement, Xinhua news agency reported.
According to the statement, the operations were carried out in Kunar, Oruzgan and Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... provinces, during which five more turbans sustained injuries and one of them was captured.
The Talibs, however, refuted the Interior Ministry's account, claiming that the armed hard boyz had inflicted major losses on government troops over the period.
The turbans further claimed in an online statement that they destroyed an armored vehicle in the Miwand district of the southern Kandahar province on Saturday and killed a number of security officers.
Additionally, the Taliban asserted its forces overran a police checkpoint in the Sistani area of the Marja district in Helmand province late on Friday, killing five coppers, a claim dismissed by Afghan authorities as a propaganda bid.

[Iran Press TV] Talibs have captured a district in Afghanistan's northeastern province of Kunduz amid reports that the bully boyz are pushing closer towards the center of the province.
The bully boyz took control of the Chardara district on Saturday evening following long exchange of fire with Afghan cops.
"The shootout between bully boyz and security forces continued for hours during the day," district governor Zulmai Farooqi said.
He also added that both the Talibs and the security forces suffered casualties during the fighting, but the exact number has not been determined so far.
Also on Saturday, at least 14 people were killed and five others maimed when their vehicle hit a roadside kaboom in the southwestern Afghan province of Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , said Omar Zwak, the provincial governor's front man.
No individual or group has grabbed credit for the deadly incident. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... the attack bears the hallmarks of Talibs, who frequently use roadside kaboomings to target Afghan cops and their vehicles.

[AlAhram] An improvised bomb went kaboom! early Saturday next to an electricity kiosk behind Fayoum Sports Stadium, damaging the kiosk and part of the wall of the stadium, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported.
Neither casualties nor injuries were reported.
Major General Younis Gahr, Fayoum security head, received notification of the incident that said part of the stadium wall was destroyed due to the severity of the blast.
The kaboom also caused damage to a car parked nearby, and a booth selling groceries.
Egypt has recently seen an increase of bombings in civilian areas in Cairo and other cities, which seldom happened previously as holy warriors targeted police and army personnel and facilities.
Electricity pylons are often targetted. Last year, police forces said bad boy attacks was one of the factors contributing to regular power cuts, along with fuel shortages in power plants.
Last week, a policeman in Fayoum was injured when gunniesshot up a small cop shoppe in a village in the central Fayoum governorate.
[Iran Press TV] Dozens of the ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... forces of Evil based in Libya's northeastern city of Derna have been killed in festivities with bully boyz trying to dislodge them from the city, a report says.
"There were dozens of deaths" in the ISIL ranks as "gunnies" struggled early on Saturday to drive the Lions of Islam out of Derna's eastern district of Fataeh, Libyan news agency Lana reported.
Lana, affiliated with the internationally unrecognized government in the Libyan capital Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , said Fataeh was ISIL's "last bastion in Derna," implying that the forces of Evil had been driven out of the rest of the city.
The Mujahedeen Council of Derna militia group has been fighting the ISIL for more than a week.
The ISIL, which has been engaged in heinous crimes in different parts of Iraq and Syria, emerged in Libya in February, after releasing a video that showed the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians.
The terrorist group, which launched a military parade in the streets of the coastal city of Sirte in February, has also attacked oil fields to spread out its territory to the east of Sirte.

[Daily Maverick] After months of teasing, Boko Haram has finally pledged allegiance to the Islamic State; an unholy alliance that, in theory, makes both sides bigger, badder and more brutal than ever before. But what if the theory is wrong? What if this is a sign of weakness, not strength?
Boko Haram won't appreciate the analogy, but it fits: like a stripper tantalising her way towards the big reveal, the Nigerian militants have been teasing this one for months. There was the talk last year of joining a caliphate; the sudden change of tactics to emulate the Islamic State's successes; and, recently, the none-too-subtle flirting on Twitter.
So the announcement, when it came, was no surprise -- but no less momentous for it. Abubakar Shekau, in an audio message, confirmed that he as boko haram leader had pledged bayat -- allegiance -- to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Emir of the Islamic State and self-declared Caliph. More than likely a desperate move by BH. They've been taken on by a consortium of private security personnel in league with the host government. Mineral rights must be protected.
[DAWN] Saudi-led warplanes launched dawn raids Saturday against sock puppets of the Medes and the Persians in Yemen's southern port city of Aden, the military said, hours after peace talks in Geneva ended without agreement.
At least 15 air strikes rocked the northern, eastern and western approaches to Aden, said a pro-government military source.
"The objective is to close the noose around 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 ... rebels in Aden and assist the popular resistance committees," loyal to exiled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, the source said.
He said the rebels shelled several Aden neighbourhoods, killing four people and wounding several others, a toll confirmed by hospital officials. The violence came hours after the UN's special envoy for Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, announced Friday in Geneva that talks between the warring sides ended without agreement.
"I won't beat around the bush. There was no kind of agreement reached," the Mauritanian diplomat told news hounds in the Swiss city.
The rebels, backed by fighters loyal to ousted president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... , have overrun much of the Sunni-majority country, challenging the government's legitimacy and prompting Abedrabbo to flee to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... . A coalition led by the oil-rich Gulf nation has carried out air strikes against the Houthis and their allies since March 26.
A car blast near a mosque in Yemen's capital Saturday killed at least two people and Saudi-led warplanes bombarded second city Aden, after peace talks in Geneva ended without agreement.
The kaboom in Sanaa, which is under the control of Iran-backed Shiite Houthis, went off outside the Kobbat al-Mehdi mosque as Shiite Moslems emerged from midday prayers, witnesses and security sources said.
As well as the two dead, another six people were maimed in the blast, according to medical officials.
The bombing, which comes as Moslems observe the holy fasting month of Ramadan, caused damage to the entrance of the mosque and shattered the windows of a nearby house, an Agence La Belle France Presse photographer reported.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, the latest in a series that has targeted Sanaa, which the Houthis seized in September last year.
On Wednesday at least 31 people were killed and dozens maimed in five simultaneous bombings claimed by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Of course not. Just because the man is a Muzzi & Paleos carry out several attacks of such type in Israel every year, doesn't mean it has to be terrorism.
[DAWN] A US man who gave money to a jacket wallah who attacked a headquarters of Pakistain's intelligence service was sentenced to more than seven years in prison Friday, prosecutors said.
Reaz Qadir Khan, 51, a naturalised US citizen living in Portland, Oregon had previously pleaded guilty in a US court to providing material support to terrorists.
Khan admitted arranging for the delivery of approximately $2,450 to Maldivian Ali Jaleel, one of the suicide bombers responsible for the May 27, 2009 attack on Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence ...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position.

The government said at the time that the attack, believed to have been carried out by Jaleel and two other people, was in apparent Dire Revenge for an army offensive against Talibs in the country's northwestern Swat ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... region.
Khan also admitted to providing advice and financial assistance to Jaleel's wives after the bombing, "while knowing that providing such assistance would hinder and prevent the apprehension of Jaleel's wives and others who may have helped in the attack," prosecutors said.
"With today's sentence, the court held the defendant accountable and made it clear that no community should be subjected to the dangers posed by those seeking to assist violent bandidosgunnies whether here or abroad," said Acting US Attorney Billy Williams.

"Among the ISIS casualties, the Saudi national Akram Aruf, known as Abu Amar al-Shami,who was responsible for the executions of dozens of men from the Shaaitan tribe was killed," said Maan.
"Aruf had close ties with Abu Sayyaf," he added, referring to the former head of ISIS oil operations who was killed in a US commando raid on May 16.
In a rare ground attack deep inside Syria, the US forces killed Sayyaf, while capturing his wife and rescuing a woman who US officials described as enslaved by the couple.
In other developments against ISIS, the grave of dozens of Iraqi Army officers and security personnel who were executed by the Death Eater group was reportedly located.
"Iraqi forces have found a mass grave of 30 officers and security personnel in the area of Garma east of Fallujah town," said Captain Murza Jomaili, commander of the Garma operation.

Local residents reported that four injured NPA militants were carried by their comrades during their escape.
Eastern Mindanao Command Commander Lt. Gen. Aurelio B. Baladad called on injured NPA rebels to get medical treatment. He said, "We are all awaiting for your return to the fold of the law. We will facilitate your safe return to your respective families and become productive citizens in your respective communities."
[GMA] Philippine security forces arrested three Abu Sayyaf militants in Palawan on Thursday, according to a military report released on Saturday. The report identified the three as Alnaser Sawadjaan, Jardin Hajuli, and Alig Pandah – all from Sulu province.
While being interrogated, the three revealed that their leader, identified as Muammar Askali, is in Puerto Princesa City on a kidnapping mission at the Baragatan festival.
Sawadjaan is the son of the late Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Jul Asman Sawadjaan who is blamed for the kidnapping of Jordanian journalist Baker Attani three years ago in Sulu.
Askali masterminded the bombing of a police camp in Sulu. Fourteen police personnel were injured in the attack last May 29.

Local sources in Hasakah told ARA News that at least four civilians from one family bit the dust due to an Arclight airstrike conducted by the Syrian regime's air force on Saturday in the village of Abb ash-Shok (10km southwest Hasakah city).
At least 20 other civilians were hardly injured during the attack. No reports of casualties in the ranks of IS murderous Moslems --who are in control of the targeted village of Abb As-Shok.

Two weeks ago, Lion of Islam fighters of the Islamic State launched an offensive on the city of Hasakah, but the heavy counter attacks by the Kurdish forces of the People's Protection Units (YPG) and the U.S.-led coalition's warplanes prevented the group from advancing to the city.
In the meantime, festivities continued between IS murderous Moslems and the pro-regime forces with heavy and medium weapons in southern Hasakah. IS is still in control of several villages south of the city, despite the continues attacks by the U.S.-led coalition and Syrian air force.
Several groups share power over Hasakah province. In the city, the Kurdish forces of the People's Protection Units (YPG) and pro-regime forces share control of the neighborhoods. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, a little lightbulb figuratively appeared over Bossy's head... IS murderous Moslems are in control of several locations in the southern countryside of the province.
