[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 9 would-be jacket wallahs were killed after their boom jackets went off prematurely in northern Kunduz province of Afghanistan.
The Ministry of Interior (MoI) said all 8 would-be bombers were fully equipped with the boom jackets and were looking to carry out coordinated attack in Kunduz before their explosives went off.
A statement by MoI said the bombers were travelling in a group and were on their way from Dasht-e-Archi to Kunduz city when the incident took place earlier today.
MoI in its statement further added that the group belonged to Mullah Wali who is a commander of the Taliban group.
The Taliban group has not commented regarding the report so far.
This is not the first time the anti-government armed faceless myrmidons have became victims of their own bombing.
Earlier, a group of 10 faceless myrmidons were blown up by their own explosives as they were busy making an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in southeastern Ghazni province.
According to the security officials, the faceless myrmidons were busy making the IED inside a mosque in Andar district when their explosives went off prematurely, leaving all 10 faceless myrmidons dead.
The Taliban holy warriors and faceless myrmidons belonging to the other krazed killer groups are frequently using Improvised Explosive Device (IED) as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces.
The IEDs are the main contributors to the casualties of the Afghan cops but are also considered as a key factor in growing civilian casualties.

Apparently the ISI needs to run a few more 'train the trainer' classes.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 33 Lions of Islam were killed in air and ground operations of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) in the past 24 hours.
The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said at least 29 Lions of Islam were also maimed during the operations which were conducted in Faryab, Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... , Baghlan, Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , and Maidan Wardak provinces.
A statement by MoD said at least 18 of the Lions of Islam were killed and 21 others were maimed in Garzewan district of Faryab, while 7 others were killed and 3 more were maimed in Shindand district of Herat.
The statement further added that 3 Lions of Islam were killed and 5 others were maimed during a separate operation in Dand-e-Shahabuddin district of Baghlan.
At least 4 Lions of Islam were killed during an operation in Greshk district of southern Helmand province, MoD said, adding that another bully boy was killed in Nerkh district of Maidan Wardak.
According to MoD, a soldier of the Afghan National Army (ANA) forces also lost his life during the operations.
The anti-government armed bully boy groups have not commented regarding the reports so far.
The Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) have stepped up crackdown on anti-government armed bully boy groups to suppress their insurgency activities amid deteriorating security situation.
This comes as the Taliban-led insurgency has been rampant since the group announced their summer offensive earlier this month and vowed to carry out more attacks across the country.

A military officer says at least five soldiers were killed, 13 wounded in heavy fighting in southern Somalia on Tuesday, in the latest confrontation between Al shabaab and Govt troops backed by AU peacekeepers.
The fighting broke out when heavily armed gun-toting Al shabaab fighters raided SNA base in Deynunay village, approximately 35Km north of Baidoa, the interim capital of South West state of Somalia.
Confirming the inciden, Col Ahmed Mohamed, a military commander in the area, told Radio Shabelle by phone that five SNA soldiers lost their lives in the daring attack.
“The armed militants marched to SNA base in Deynunay village, prompting fierce gun battles and exchanges of heavy and small weapons,” said Col Ahmed.
He did not disclose casualties of the AMISOM side, but residents said they saw armored vehicles evacuating wounded AU soldiers from the battle zone.

There are reports of the movement of two groups of Libyan National Army troops towards Sirte from the south-west and east. Meanwhile at least one Misratan brigade has announced it is moving eastwards toward the 200 kilometre-long coastal strip controlled by IS terrorists.
An army source told this newspaper that a force of more than a thousand men had left Ghabghab, the main army base at Marj and was heading for Sirte. It seems likely that the convoy will include some of the armoured personnel carriers and pickups delivered to Tobruk from the UAE on Saturday.
It is also being reported that the LNA commander in the west, Colonel Idris Madi, is pushing towards IS territory from the south-west. He is said to be accompanied by Colonel Mohamed Ben Nail, the commander of 241 Brigade and Colonel Ali Seedi Al-Tabawey, commander of the Tebu 25 Brigade. This unit, which fought against IS and Ansar Al-Sharia forces in Benina in Benghazilast year is based around the Sarir/Messla oil fields, the Sarir power station and the Shula oil compound.
On its social media site today Misrata’s Marsa Brigade has said that forces belonging to the city’s Military Council were concentrating before advance eastwards toward Sirte.
It is unclear if the Misratan move is being made in coordination with the Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Khalifa Hafter.
It is significant that the army has named its part of the move against Sirte “Qurdabiya 2” after a battle near Sirte at Wadi Al-Hamar (The Red Valley) fought against the Italians in 1915. This was notable for the fact that it was the only major occasion on which Libyans from Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan fought side by side against the Italians,
An elder of the Magharba tribe said today on 218 TV that his people will do whatever they can to help the movement of army units from the east. Meanwhile, Petroleum Facilities Guard commander Ibrahim Jadhran, a long-standing Hafter opponent, is understood to have agreed not to interfere with the army advance. Jadhran, who is himself from the Magharba, is believed to have sought to extend the PFG’s control over more oil fields to the south.
There has been considerable social media chatter in recent days about an impending operation against IS. A series of pictures has been posted claiming to show various units advancing.
Reports from inside Sirte this evening indicated that the town in unusually quiet and that the local radio station is broadcasting an almost constant diet of IS songs.

Soddys realize the value of operations when you conduct them during a truce.
It's the Muslim way. They can do none else.
Hudna - it's not just for infidels!
The command of the coalition forces to support the legitimacy in Yemen has announced the launching of a joint military operation against Al Qaeda in Yemen. The operation's participants include the Yemeni army and elements of Saudi and UAE special forces.
Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted the coalition command as saying, in a statement on Sunday, that in its first hours, the operation resulted in the killing of more than 800 elements of Al Qaeda and a number of their leaders, and that the rest of them fled.
The statement added that the operation comes as part of the joint international efforts to defeat terrorist groups in Yemen and support the legitimate Yemeni government, and to extend its influence and control over Yemeni cities that fell under the control of Al Qaeda, the most important of which is the city of Al Mukalla, considered the stronghold of the organisation. The operation aims at clearing it and helping the legitimacy to extend its control over it and the rest of Yemen's cities.
The statement added that the process will allow for the intensifying of humanitarian relief efforts in those cities, and alleviate the suffering of the brotherly people of Yemen.
The countries participating in the operation emphasised their continuing policy of chasing terrorist organisations out of all Yemeni cities, defeating them, and depriving them of a safe haven until the return of security and stability in the region.

I miss the old school "Crossfire encounters"
There was usually a narrative flow to them. Not this bland, pro forma blot on a blotter report.
[Dhaka Tribune] Police have detained a holy man of a mosque and a madrasa teacher for interrogation over the murder of Rajshahi University Professor AFM Rezaul Karim Siddique.
Rajshahi Metropolitan Police Commissioner Md Shamsuddin said the duo were held in a drive at Bagmara on Tuesday morning.
The detainees are Dargamaria Jame Mosque Imam Raihan Ali, 32, and Gopalpur Madrasa teacher Munsur Rahman, 48.
RMP Commissioner Md Shamsuddin said: "Prof Rezaul has established a music school at his village but Imam Raihan Ali protested the school’s establishment as he did not like music. That’s why he was detained for questioning. Madrasa teacher Munsur was also held as a suspect."
Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach... Rajshahi University students blocked the Dhaka-Rajshahi highway from 11:15am to 12:15pm demanding justice for Prof Rezaul.
Professor Rezaul Karim Siddique was hacked to death by assailants in the city's Shalbagan area on April 23.

[Dhaka Tribune] Just hours after two LGBT activists were hacked to death in Dhaka’s Kalabagan, the Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) grabbed credit for the double murder.
Like they did after several similar killings in the past, the AQIS posted an image on its Twitter account to claim they were behind the recent murders.
"The mujahidin of Ansar al-Islam (AQIS, Bangladesh branch) were able to assassin [sic] Xulhaz Mannan and his associate Samir Mahbub Tonoy. They were the pioneers of practising and promoting homosexuality in Bangladesh," read the AQIS Twitter post.
"They were working day and night to promote homosexuality among the people of this land since 1998 with the help of their masters, the US crusaders and its Indian allies," read the post allegedly posted by AQIS Spokesperson Mufti Abdullah Ashraf.
However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... the claim of AQIS involvement in the murders was immediately snubbed by the police.
Maruf Hossain Sardar, deputy commissioner (media) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, told the Dhaka Tribune: "We do not know anything about the AQIS claim. We are investigating the matter from our own view."
Thirty-five-year-old Xulhaz Mannan, editor of Bangladesh’s first LGBT magazine Roopbaan, and his 25-year-old friend Mahbub Tonoy, also an LGBT activist, were hacked to death in a flat at Dhaka’s Kalabagan on Monday evening.
Assailants identified themselves as courier service deliverymen to enter the flat before launching the attack with machetes. In a mode of operation that has become a hallmark for religious Death Eaters, the killers quickly hacked away at the victims before fleeing the scene within minutes.
"We have seen such kind of activities and attacking style among the members of Ansarullah Bangla Team and we are also suspecting that it is an act of that krazed killer outfit for the victims’ involvement in promoting LGBT activities," a senior Detective Branch official told the Dhaka Tribune yesterday.
He also expressed hopes that a mobile phone found at the scene of the crime along with security footage from CCTV cameras would lead the police straight to the perpetrators.
So far, two cases have been filed with Kalabagan cop shoppe against person or persons unknown. Xulhaz’s brother Minhaz Mannan Emon and Sub-Inspector Shamim Ahmed have filed the cases, said Kalabagan police OC Mohammad Iqbal. However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... no arrest has been made yet.
According to the case statement, police recovered two pistols, one unused machete, some clothes and a bag dropped by one of the assailants when he was shooting at ASI Mamtaz.
In the wake of the killings, many of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activists in Bangladesh said they were too shocked to react. Several of them told the Dhaka Tribune that they would soon go into hiding as they the feared that the same might happen to them as well.
Earlier this month, LGBT activists cancelled their scheduled rainbow rally ‐ an annual procession since 2014 that celebrate the country’s LGBT community ‐ on Pohela Boishakh.
After the rainbow rally programme was announced this year, different fundamentalist groups aggressively campaigned against it on Facebook and other social networking sites. They also issued threats against the organisers.

[AlAhram] German authorities are investigating nine Muslim extremists on suspicion they planned to kill two people over disagreements in their interpretation of Islam.
Prosecutors in Bremen say 10 premises in the northern German city were searched early Tuesday following tips about the planned crimes.
Some 200 police officers were involved in the morning raids.
Prosecutors say the unnamed suspects are adherents of Salafism, an Islamic movement based on a literal reading of the Quran. In a statement, prosecutors said the Salafis are suspected of committing two cases of serious bodily harm and of planning to kill two people "who interpreted both the Quran and life under Islam differently."
Authorities estimate there are about 8,000 Salafis in Germany.

As Turks filled the streets of her cities,

"Those darn kids of Merkel's,

Exhaustedly creaked Archimedes.
[FRANCE24] Greece returned another 49 migrants colonists to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Tuesday under a controversial EU-Turkey deal to reduce the influx, a police source said, three weeks after the first deportations.
The latest expulsions came as tensions flared at a migrants colonists' camp on the Greek island of Lesbos during a visit by Migration Minister Yannis Mouzalas.
A government source told AFP that a "misunderstanding" triggered a disturbance at the Moria camp on Lesbos, one of several Greek islands that have seen a massive influx of migrants colonists setting sail from nearby Turkey.
The unaccompanied minors section of the camp was particularly affected by the unrest, the source said.
Images posted on Twitter showed burning rubbish and parts of the camp being evacuated. Other posts suggested that a police officer had struck a young male in the camp, although this could not immediately be verified.
The Moria camp became a closed detention camp when the EU-Turkey deal came into force on March 20. Around 3,000 people are currently being held there awaiting news of their fate.
"They are anxious and frustrated, not knowing what is going to happen to them," said Boris Cheshirkov, front man for the UN refugee agency on Lesbos.

[ARA News] ERBIL – A security member from the radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) was killed by locals in Iraq’s northern city of Mosul after sexually harassing a women in the city, local sources reported on Tuesday.
Local activists confirmed that the jihadi militant was stabbed to death in the district of Aden eastern Mosul.
Speaking to ARA News in Mosul, head of the Nineveh media center Raafat al-Zarari said that a member of the ISIS security forces [also known as al-Hisba Police] who was responsible for enforcing ISIS’s regulations in the city, was killed by a group of civilian people in the district of Aden in Mosul after he tried to harass a woman in the area.
“The jihadi was captured by a group of civilians and slaughtered on charges of sexual harassment,” the source reported.
“Many people [who were seen carrying knives] attacked the official and stabbed him several times all over his body,” an eyewitness told ARA News. “The perpetrators disappeared before the ISIS-linked police patrols arrive in the area.”
“Al-Hisba police members have taken his corps to the hospital, but he died several hours later,” the source added, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The jihadi official, before his death, used to monitor the women and men who violate the group’s regulation in the district, according to local sources.
Speaking to ARA News in Erbil, Kurdish journalist Idris Badini said: “No one denies that these barbaric insurgents [ISIS] capture women and used them as sex slaves in their areas of control in Syria and Iraq. This is a main motivation for the group’s members to even turn into suicide bombers; they are dying for reaching the eternal and unlimited sex,” he argued.
“If we did not understand their real motivation for killing themselves and innocent people, we will never be able to defeat them,” Badini said.
The radical group in the district of Aden of Mosul did not take any procedures against the people of the district for fear of a possible uprising against ISIS in the region, especially the group currently faces challenges amid intenisified US-led coalition’s airstrikes on its command centers and vital locations in both Syria and Iraq for months, which have caused an apparent shortage in the group’s manpower.

[FRANCE24] Before blowing up a jihadist cash hoard in Iraq, the US military warned bystanders of an impending strike by using a Hellfire missile to deliver the wartime equivalent of a doorknock, an official said Tuesday.
It was the first time the Pentagon has conducted a "knock operation" in Iraq and Syria, and the inspiration came from watching the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) pioneer the controversial tactic in Gazoo, Major General Peter Gersten said.
The Baghdad-based commander told Pentagon news hounds that ahead of the strike on a cash-storage facility on April 5 in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the military learned that a woman, children and other "non-combatants" also were using the building.
He said the United States aims to avoid civilian casualties, and in this instance decided to warn occupants by exploding a missile just above the roof.
"We went as far as actually to put a Hellfire on top of the building and air burst it so it wouldn't destroy the building, simply knock on the roof to ensure that she and the children were out of the building," he said.
"Then we proceeded with our operations."
Ultimately, the woman died anyway because she ran back just after US forces launched bombs to blow it up.
"Much as we tried to do exactly what we wanted to do and minimize civilian casualties, post-weapons release, she actually ran back into the building," Gersten said. "That's ... very difficult for us to watch."
Gersten said several men had also fled the building. He did not say if they were IS jihadists.
"The men that were in that building, multiple men, literally trampled over her to get out," he said.
The coalition has carried out about 20 strikes on IS cash, blowing up as much as $800 million worth of cash in the process, Gersten said.
Critics of the 20-month-old US-led coalition attacking the IS group in Iraq and Syria say the military is overly cautious in avoiding civilian casualties.
In a move ridiculed by hawkish opponents in the US Congress and privately by some coalition partners, pilots dropped pamphlets before bombing trucks ferrying illicit oil around Syria for the IS group.
The IDF has for years warned occupants of buildings suspected of housing Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, weapons to get out by "roof knocking."
The technique has drawn sharp criticism. Observers say occupants are sometimes killed in the warning strike, or even run up to their rooftops to see what happened -- only to be killed in the follow-up strike.

Someday the press will divulge the civilians O has killed with his personally directed kill shots.
#2
"The men that were in that building, multiple men, literally trampled over her to get out,"
Given that women in that part of the world would not be allowed to be in the company of other men without a relative present, she may well have been the wife of one of the men who trampled her. After which, he probably ordered her back in the building to fetch his AK-47.
#6
Considering that everyone in that building is either a jihadist or a sympathizer I really don't have moral qualms about smearing all of them around the neighborhood.
[Ynet] Suspects said they intended to carry out an attack on Israelis; police reinforced as Passover holiday attracts masses of tourists to the capital.
Counterterrorism forces and the Shin Bet jugged Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! three Paleostinians in Jabel Mukaber in East Jerusalem Monday night. The three suspects, from Nablus, were taken in for questioning for having expressed their intention to carry out a terror attack on Israelis.
None of the suspects had a background posing a security risk or any association with a terror organization. During the search in the apartment in Jabel Mukaber, no weapons were found.
Large forces have been stationed in popular areas with the police presence being particularly beefed up in the Temple Mount and its vicinity. Jerusalem police units will also be augmented with hundreds of police volunteers.
Despite the security situation in Jerusalem, the Western Wall Tunnel in the Old city continues to be filled with tourists, the vast majority of whom hail from foreign countries.
[Ynet] The Jerusalem police said it had tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! two members of the Jordanian Waqf on the Temple Mount on Tuesday afternoon, who allegedly attacked and harassed Jews in the holy compound.
In total, 267 Jews and 557 non-Muslim tourists entered the Temple Mount on Tuesday.
Two air strikes and at least one rocket attack staged overnight against an opposition-held area west of Aleppo killed five rescue workers, who appeared to have been knowingly targeted, a monitoring group and colleagues nearby reported.
The raids hit a center for the Syrian Civil Defence, known as the “White Helmets”, in the town of Atareb, some 25 km (15 miles) west of Aleppo.
The recent weeks have witnessed grave escalation in fighting in Aleppo province, as a partial truce brokered the United States and Russia in February has all but collapsed.
The Civil Defence corps work as first responders in opposition-held territory where medical infrastructure has broken down.
“The targeting was very precise,” Radi Saad, a Civil Defence worker based in northwestern Syria, told Reuters via internet.
“They were in the center and ready to respond. When they heard warplanes in the area they did not think they would be the target.”
It was unclear whether Syrian or Russian warplanes had launched the raids, he said. There was no immediate comment from the Syrian government.
Another Civil Defence member, Ahmad Sheikho, said five rescue workers had died and two were seriously wounded. Ambulances and cars belonging to doctors were also damaged.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based monitoring group, said at least five had been killed, confirming that the center appeared to have been deliberately targeted.
The observatory also reported government air strikes and rebel bombardments in Aleppo city killing dozens of people in the last few days.
In the past 24 hours, fighting in Aleppo has killed at least 30 people including at least eight children, the Observatory added.
ALEPPO: A barrage of airstrikes and shelling on Syria’s second city Aleppo and a town to its west have killed 25 civilians, emergency workers and a monitoring group said Tuesday.
The attacks are the latest in a surge of violence in and around the city that has severely tested a February 27 cease-fire.
At least two male civilians died in rebel rocket fire on government-controlled areas in the west of the city on Tuesday afternoon, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
In the rebel-held eastern parts, the airstrikes and shelling came down “like rain,” one resident told AFP.
Fifteen civilians were killed in air strikes on several rebel-held eastern districts of Aleppo city, the civil defense, known as White Helmets, said.
Another three civilians — two women and a child — were killed in government artillery shelling on another eastern neighborhood, they said.
“The planes are bombing markets, residential areas... We’re exhausted, we can’t keep up,” a civil defense worker said.
Five of their own were killed when the White Helmets headquarters in the town of Al-Atarib, controlled by extremist rebels, was hit by an overnight air strike, the group said on Twitter.
It was not immediately clear whether the strike on Al-Atarib, 35 km from Aleppo, was carried out by the Syrian air force or its Russian ally.
An ambulance and a fire truck, both damaged, were parked in the bombed-out headquarters, surrounded by rubble and twisted metal frames.
A civil defense worker in Aleppo city said he and his colleagues were afraid their local headquarters would also be targeted.
[ARA News] ERBIL – The extremist group of Islamic State (ISIS) flogged a woman in Syria’s northern province of Aleppo for refusing her daughter’s marriage to an ISIS Jihadi, local sources reported on Tuesday.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that the group’s militants whipped the woman in the ISIS-held city of Manbij in Aleppo province.
Speaking to ARA News in Manbij, media activist Nasser Taljbini said that ISIS militants flogged Hiam Jassim al-Awwad, 42, in the Martyrs’ Square in central Manbij in front of dozens of people for refusing orders from the Sharia Court to marry her daughter to one of the group’s militants.
“The punishment came in the wake of refusing to marry off her daughter to one of the group’s militants,” the source added, pointing out that the victim is originally from the village of Qara in Manbij suburbs.
“A militant from the group’s Sharia Court threatened the people of Manbij to be severely punished in case of refusing orders from ISIS. People are forced to implement the Caliphate’s orders in all cases,” Taljbini reported.
The source confirmed that the woman was whipped in public without any intervention by locals.
ISIS had earlier flogged and even executed parents for refusing their daughters’ marriage to the group’s members.
Noteworthy, in the areas under ISIS control, every woman accused of violating the Islamic dress code imposed by the radical group is being flogged 50 times in public as a punishment, based on extremist regulations of the ISIS-led Sharia Court.
