[Tolo News] The turbans have reportedly seized control of another Afghan National Army (ANA) post in Dand-e-Ghori district in northern Baghlan, local officials said on Saturday.
This was said to be the last post being collapsed into the hands of the Taliban in the district, a member of Provincial Council of Baghlan, Bimillah Atash said.
He warned of further deteriorated situation if reinforcement troops were not deployed to the area.
The security officials, however, are yet to comment on the fall of the security post.
The festivities began about two weeks ago in the district when turbans carried out a coordinated attack on the security posts.
Earlier, the tribal elders had also warned collapse of the district.
Over the past few months, the turbans have increased their activities in northern parts of the country and are targeting police posts. They have also captured a number of districts over the period.

[AlAhram] Egyptian security forces have incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! a Moslem Brüderbund-linked "terrorist cell" which threatened national security, Egyptian army spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammed Samir said in a Facebook post on Saturday.
The post included a video which shows nine alleged members of the cell who said they collected money and received training in a foreign country to carry out violent acts before returning to Egypt in order to begin collecting information and data on strategic targets, public figures and police and army officers.
According to an army statement featured within the video, the cell members were arrested in a security raid on their quarters which was described as a "pre-emptive strike" against terrorism.
Last month, the interior ministry announced that it had arrested a cell linked to the outlawed Moslem Brüderbund, accusing its alleged members of gathering information in order to attack public facilities, politicians, judges and media personalities.

[ALMANAR.LB] A powerful bomb destroyed the Italian consulate in Cairo Saturday, killing one person, the first assault on a foreign mission in Egypt in two-year turban attacks against security forces.
The consulate in central Cairo was closed at the time of the kaboom around 6:30 am (0430 GMT), which brought down the facade of the building and could be heard across the capital.
A health ministry front man said the blast killed one person and maimed four. Medics had earlier said two coppers and three passers-by had been maimed.
Italia swiftly condemned the attack, with its foreign minister Paolo Gentiloni saying "Italia will not let itself be intimidated."
He added on Twitter that there were no Italian casualties.
Militants have carried out scores of attacks since the army overthrew Moslem Brüderbund's president Mohammad Mursi in July 2013, killing hundreds of coppers and soldiers mostly in the Sinai Peninsula.
Diplomats had told AFP they had been warned by police months ago that embassies could be targeted, but it was not clear whether this was based on specific intelligence.
At least one Western embassy had relocated over security concerns.
The Italian consul in Cairo arrived at the scene of the attack and went inside the building to inspect it, refusing to speak to news hounds.
The official MENA news agency reported that the blast was caused by boom-mobile.
It brought down part of the building, and the remains of at least one vehicle were strewn on the street.
The attack came less than two weeks after suspected murderous Moslems assassinated the country's top prosecutor in a boom-mobileing in the capital.
In Sinai, 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... s loyal to ISIL group (so-called Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

[ALMANAR.LB] Tunisian authorities have incarcerated Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! 127 suspected "terrorists" since last month's attack on tourists at a beach resort, the minister heading the crisis group on the incident said Saturday.
"Since the attack, the security forces have carried out more than 700 operations resulting in the arrests of 127 suspected members of terrorist gangs," Kamel Jendoubi said.
The June 26 shooting rampage by a Tunisian student at Port El Kantaoui killed 30 Britons, three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and a Russian, and was claimed by the ISIL terrorist group.
Jendoubi did not specify how many of the 127 people detained were being held for their suspected involvement in the beach attack. He had earlier announced the arrest of eight people suspected of having direct links to it.
The minister stressed the government's determination to protect "the country, citizens and nationals of foreign countries". "Today, more than 100,000 police, national guard and civil protection officers in addition to the army" have been deployed, Jendoubi said.
Around 3,000 security guards were protecting beaches, hotels and archaeological sites in the country, he said. Jendoubi also reiterated the government's "regret" at Britannia's decision to repatriate citizens from the North African country, saying "there is no new evidence suggesting the imminence" of an attack.

[ALMANAR.LB] At least 14 people were killed in a suicide kaboom at a crowded market in Chad's capital on Saturday just days after 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... claimed a previous bombing in the city that left 38 people dead.
The attack in N'Djamena by a man disguised as a woman in a full-face veil came after a botched bombing of a bus station in the restive capital of Nigeria's Borno state, Maiduguri, which killed two pedestrians.
Experts said the bombing in Chad, following previous strikes in Niger and repeated targeting of northern 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... , demonstrated the need for an effective solution to the problem involving both Nigeria and its neighbors.
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari, who came to power on May 29, has made defeating Boko Haram a top priority but experts said he could not do it alone.
"The fight against Boko Haram is unlikely to be concluded with any rapidity," Ryan Cummings, chief Africa analyst with the Red24 consulting group, told AFP. "The fact remains that while Boko Haram continues to be defined as a Nigerian problem, evidence suggests that it has become a quandary of regional proportions requiring a regional solution.
"In the absence of Nigeria's neighbors recognizing the extent of Boko Haram's regional contagion and subsequently responding to it decisively, the most exhaustive efforts by the Nigerian government alone won't solve the problem."

The raids targeted a vehicle and a container loaded with weapons late Friday at the port of Mukalla, the quiet provincial capital of Hadramawt, the local official said.
The strikes destroyed the arms container, he added.
The deaths bring to 23 the number of suspected Al-Qaeda bully boyz killed by similar strikes in Yemen in less than three weeks, and follows the death of the second-in-command of Al-Qaeda's global network.

[ALMANAR.LB] Shortly after a humanitarian truce ..The purposes of a truce are twofold: 1.) bring up more arms, ammunition, and reinforcements; and 2.) get the enemy to relax his vigilance. A truce is not the same thing as a ceasefire, and a ceasefire doesn't mean you have to stop shooting... went into effect in Yemen, Saudi warplanes struck several areas across the Arab impoverished country, violating the UN-sponsored ceasefire.

The warplanes also struck a house in Jabal Jarra, a truck loaded with food supplies in al-Arish city in Aden province, our correspondent said.
The relentless air campaign continued into the early hours of Saturday morning, with the Saudi-led warplanes hit Maalla, Khor Mikser and Ribat areas in restive Lahj ... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement province.
Earlier on Friday, the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Security Council called on all sides of the Yemen conflict to observe the break in fighting, which is slated to run up to the end of the fasting month of Ramadan on July 17.
"All parties will need to suspend military operations during the pause," the 15-member UN council said in a unanimous statement, urging all sides "to exercise restraint in cases of isolated violations and to avoid escalation."
Also on Friday, leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement Abdul-Malik al-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.

"We do not have much hope for the truce to succeed," said Huthi in a televised statement on Yemen's al-Masirah television.
The Saudi Arclight airstrikes targeted Sanaa on Friday and hit mainly central and southern cities overnight. On Thursday night, an Arclight airstrike hit a school housing refugees in the southern province of Lahj, killing nine people and wounding 14 others, residents said.
Yemen has been since March 26 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to Yemen's runaway President Abd Rabbu MansourHadi who is a close ally to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula.

UN sez to go to Money-Com 3, repeat Money-Com 3' this is not a drill.
[The Telegraph] The Government watchdog which inspects police forces' readiness for terrorism admitted that it employed one of Britain's most notorious Islamic extremists.
For almost two years Abdullah al Andalusi, led a double life, the Telegraph can reveal.
By night, he taught that the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) was "no different to Western armies," said that "kaffirs," non-Muslims, would be "punished in hell" and claimed that the British government wanted to destroy Islam. A sort of community organizer as it were.
By day, using a different name, he went to work for the same British government at the London offices of Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC), the official regulator of all 44 forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The disclosures will be intensely embarassing to the Prime Minister, David Cameron, who has criticised parts of Britain's Muslim communities for "quietly condoning" Islamist extremism. His records of academic matriculation sealed are they ?
HMIC's staff, who number less than 150, are given privileged access to highly sensitive and classified police and intelligence information to carry out their inspections.
Uighurs from Xinjiang are being given Turkish identity papers in Southeast Asia by Turkish diplomats and then taken to Turkey where some are sold to fight for groups like Islamic State as "cannon fodder", a senior Chinese official said.
First rule about Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club...
Beijing says the Turkic language-speaking Uighur minority are firstly Chinese nationals, and those who flee China should be returned to their home region in the far west of China.
"Turkish embassies in Southeast Asia will give them proof of identity," said Tong Bishan, division chief of the Ministry of Public Security's Criminal Investigation Department.
"They are obviously Chinese but they will give them identities as Turkish nationals." I don't know about this. Many photos of Uighurs in China show pronounced western European features. OTOH, I've met some Navajos who could pass for Chinese, based on their appearance.

[The Telegraph] Tourists driving to France this summer are warned to beware of robbers disguised as police who are stopping cars and stealing valuables.
Britons driving to France this summer have been warned to watch out for criminals disguised as police who are stopping tourists' cars and stealing valuables.
The French police issued the alert after a series of thefts on motorways near the Riviera and other popular holiday destinations in the south of France.
The modern-day highwaymen wear police uniforms or armbands and use unmarked cars with flashing blue lights mounted on the roof.
They have robbed more than a dozen French motorists in recent weeks and are now targeting Britons and other foreign visitors who may be unfamiliar with French police procedures and less likely to have been warned by local media reports. They strike at night, when victims tend to be tired and it is more difficult to identify them as fraudsters.

[IsraelTimes] Members of banned terror group had planned attacks on Hyper Cacher supermarkets; group's leader tossed in the slammer Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! for 9 years
A Gay Paree court on Friday tossed in the slammer Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! 14 Islamists for planning jihadist attacks on French Jews and other targets.
The Correctional Tribunal of Gay Paree sentenced 39-year-old Mohammed Amchalane, the leader of the banned terrorist group Forsane Alizza, to nine years in prison, Le Figaro reported.
He and 13 of his accomplices, all members of the group, were convicted of "participating in a group formed with a view to preparing terrorist acts."
The accomplices received lighter punishments of varying severity, ranging from a suspended sentence of one year to six years in prison, Le Figaro reported.
Among the group's alleged targets were five Jewish supermarkets of the Hyper Cacher chain, the news website ouest-france.fr reported, and several other Jewish businesses. A Hyper Cacher market in the Gay Paree area was the scene of January's deadly terrorist siege, in which four French Jews were murdered.
The names of the businesses targeted were recovered from a computer seized in 2012, when Amchalane was tossed in the clink Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! with other suspects during a police raid in the vicinity of Nantes, in western La Belle France.
Police also found in Amchalane's possession three AK-47 assault rifles, a grenade and a pistol, Le Figaro reported. He also had manuals on how to carry out terrorist attacks using explosives, including dirty bombs, which contain radioactive material.
Amchalane maintained in court that he was neither involved in violent activity nor was planning to become involved.
Forsane Alizza, Arabic for "knights of pride," was a group dedicated to fighting Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... , Amchalane's lawyer said.

Two other men were arrested later in the day. All face terrorism charges, police said, without giving any further details.
The Water Supply Company Prishtina said it had turned off its water treatment facility at Badovc lake after the arrests, apparently to check for any contamination.
"We are checking the quality of the water and we will not restart until the tests say the water is clean," spokeswoman Arjeta Mjeku said.
Mjeku said the lake supplied 40 percent of the capital with drinking water.
Kosovo authorities say they incarcerated Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! five suspects linked to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

"Hamdan was involved in posting pro-ISIL propaganda online which included inducement and instructions to commit murder in the name of jihad," the statement said.
Hamdan, who has been under investigation since October 2014, is in jug and is expected to appear in court shortly.
The RCMP said "a number of items" were seized from his residence.
"We were able to arrest this individual and disrupt his efforts to harm citizens across the country," said RCMP Superintendent Dan Bond, an assistant criminal operations officer for national security.
Canadian politicians passed new anti-terror measures this year, in response to attacks on Canadian soil last October, when a gunman rubbed out a ceremonial guard and then stormed parliament, and a soldier was run over and killed in rural Quebec.

Commander of Iran's Border Police Brigadier General Qassem Rezaei said on Saturday that a group of border guards were dispatched to the Mirjaveh border region in Sistan-Baluchestan Province on Friday afternoon to keep a watchful eye on the routes in the area after it was reported that a terrorist group wanted to cross the border into Iran from Pakistan, Press TV reported.
The border forces engaged in clashes with the terrorists early on Saturday and managed to smash the terror group, the commander told a press conference in the provincial capital city of Zahedan.
The terrorists were upset at Iranian exploitation of Baluchi shale oil deposits...
“In this operation, a number of terrorists were killed and three others were arrested, one of whom sustained injuries,” the commander said.
Rezaei added that two of the detained terrorists are Pakistani nationals.
Also Baluchis...
He said that the terrorist group, which was trained by foreign spy agencies, was equipped with different types of weapons and explosives to carry out terrorist attacks in different cities in Iran, but the terrorists were arrested on the zero point border with Pakistan.
According to the commander, a number of militants fled to the Pakistani territory but Iranian forces managed to seize weapons, ammunition and explosives from them.
An Iranian border guard also succumbed to injuries on the way to the hospital.
The arrested terrorists confessed that they wanted to carry out terror attacks in certain cities including Zahedan, Kerman and Bam, the commander said, adding that they intended to explode several explosive-laden cars in public places.
The commander said the terrorists were trained in Pakistan, calling for the government in Islamabad to take tough measures against the issue.
Iran has repeatedly called on its eastern neighbors to rein in terrorists who cross the borders to carry out terror attacks on the Iranian soil.
In February 2013, Iran and Pakistan signed a security agreement, under which both countries agreed to cooperate in preventing and combating organized crime and fight against terrorism and activities posing a threat to national security of the two counties.
