[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A jacket wallah belonging to the Haqqani terrorist network was rubbed out by the Afghan intelligence operatives in capital Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) said the would-be suicide bomber was rubbed out before he manage to reach to his target.
NDS said the man was wearing a suicide kaboom vest but there are no reports regarding the exact location where the bomber was looking to carry out an attack.
This comes as the US Embassy in Kabul earlier issued a security alert warning its citizens regarding gunnies planning attacks in the city.
"The U.S. Embassy in Kabul continues to receive reports of gunnies planning unspecified attacks in Kabul City and elsewhere in Afghanistan against locations and individuals with potential American connections," the alert by the embassy states.
It also adds that the gunnies are looking to attacks Afghan and U.S. government facilities, foreign embassies, foreign guest houses, restaurants, hotels, airports, civilian institutes, and educational centers.
The latest security alert by the US Embassy comes as the anti-government armed Death Eater groups are looking to carry out attacks in Kabul, specifically following the death of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor in a US drone strike last Saturday.

Clashes around Najila, west of Tripoli International Airport, continued for the second day today between Libyan National Army-supported Wirshefani forces on the one side and Janzouri and Misratan units on the other.
According to the LNA’s spokesman in Benghazi, Ahmed Mismari, the fighting which started on Friday afternoon is the beginning of the LNA’s operation to liberate Tripoli.
This, however, has been denied by the LNA’s Tripoli operations room headed by Colonel Idris Madi. It issued a statement this evening saying that no operation against Tripoli had started. What was happening, it suggested, was yet another local conflict.
It said that fighters from Janzour had attacked a checkpoint which had resulted in a number of them being captured but that also some members of the LNA-supported forces had been injured. It did not say how many.
A third statement from the Janzour Knights, one of the two main forces based in the west Tripoli suburb of Janzour, partially corroborates this. It said there had been an attack on a checkpoint at Najila manned by a Misratan brigade two days ago and that one of the Misratan fighters had been seized and taken away. What then happened, sources have told the Libya Herald, was that the Janzur Knights and the Misratan brigade concerned mounted a joint operation yesterday afternoon counter-attacking a checkpoint controlled by the Wirshefana.
The clashes stopped at sunset today, Saturday, but it is feared they may flare up again on Sunday.
On the front line between the Wirshefana and those forces representing whoever is in power in Tripoli, the area around Najila has seen repeated clashes between the two sides over the past two years. In November 2014, the LNA was claiming that the operation to liberate Tripoli had begun, yet shortly afterwards, nothing more was heard of it. Again just over a year ago, the LNA claimed it was in Najila and moving towards Tripoli.
[AnNahar] Yemeni authorities on Saturday tossed in the clink Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! seven Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group suspects, including one "Westerner", in second city Aden, a police officer told Agence La Belle France Presse.
The arrests are part of a government offensive against IS and Al-Qaeda, which have claimed a wave of deadly attacks in recent months in Yemen's south and southeast.
Among these were twin bombings claimed by IS that hit loyalist forces in Aden on Monday, killing at least 41 people.
"We arrested seven ISIS (IS) members, among them a Western Muslim, in Mansura" district of Aden, said officer Munir al-Yafie, who took part in the raid, without giving further details.
IS and Al-Qaeda have exploited the power vacuum created by more than a year of conflict between pro-government forces and Iran-backed rebels to expand their zones of control in Yemen.
Government forces drove the rebels out of the port city of Aden and other southern provinces since July with support from the Saudi-led coalition which launched its operations in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... in March 2015.
But authorities have struggled to secure Aden, where Sunni jihadists emerged after the rebels left the city.
Aden is serving as the temporary government headquarters as the Shiite Houthis and their allies control capital Sanaa.

I wonder if he was also a "youth" or possibly "Vibrant!"
[Al Ahram] Two rockets fired Saturday from inside Syria landed near the international airport of Gaziantep, a major Turkish border city, although nobody was hurt, the Turkish news agency Dogan reported.
One of the projectiles landed in a residential complex for employees of Oguzeli airport, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) outside the city and another came down in scrubland, according to Dogan.
The rockets fell around 10:50 am (0750 GMT), the agency said, adding military officials and the governor of Gaziantep were inspecting the damage.
The nearby city of Kilis, just a handful of kilometres from the Syrian border, has been struck several times this year by rockets which Ankara says were fired by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Those attacks have claimed at least 21 lives with more than 70 injured, including five on Friday.
Gaziantep lies around 30 km further north away from the border.
It was not clear if the rockets were "strays" from fighting in northern Syria or if they constituted a deliberate attack on the airport.

Green and blue-eyed girls fetch the most money at the bazaar, held in Iraq's second city Mosul
An ISIS rapist who was filmed laughing as he bartered for Yazidi women at a "slave market" has been captured by Iraqi Kurd forces, it has been reported.
The 2014 clip from Mosul, Iraq, shows the ISIS militant negotiating the price of the girls from the Iraqi ethnic minority with traders. Blue and green-eyed young girls fetch a higher price at what one of the men dubs "slave market day".
The footage begins with this man saying to the camera: "Today is the slave market day.
"Today is the day where this verse applies: 'Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess, - for (then) they are not too be blamed'. He then adds: "Today is distribution day God willing. "Each one takes his share."
Now he has now been captured by Kurdish forces in Iraq, according to a pro-Kurdish Facebook page. His fate remains unclear - but is likely to be grim considering the number of female fighters in Kurd militias.
Almost as grim as it would be if he had been captured by Afghan wimmin...
He even appears to have shaved off his beard in order to pass as a civilian and escape capture.
What's the penalty for shaving off one's beard again?
Another man in the stomach-churning then says: "I swear man I am searching for a girl. I hope I find one."
The men cackle and then another says: "Today is the day of (female) slaves and we should have our share."
They then find a seller and begin bartering for girls. The trader says he is happy to sell his slave for a Glock pistol.
The girls are sold for up to the equivalent of $100 (ÂŁ62), however the buyers can be heard saying the price they are willing to pay depends on looks and that they will need to verify the girl is to their liking. One says he would need to check the teeth of the 15-year-old being auctioned, and explains: "If she doesn't have teeth, why would I want her?"
The video was shot in Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, in 2014, according to Al Aan TV - who translated the clip into English.

Tie his privates to a tree with piano wire and stone him.
Fierce clashes between the ISIS group and rebels erupted in a town in northeastern Syria Saturday, a monitor and an activist said, after jihadists entered a Syrian opposition stronghold near Marea cutting a main supply route.
“Heavy clashes took place overnight between ISIS fighters and rebels inside the walls of Marea town,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, as the extremist group built on its most significant advance near the Turkish border in two years.
Early Saturday, ISIS fighters staged two suicide bombings targeting “opposition forces” near Marea using tanks and two car bombs, ISIS said via its news agency, Aamaq.
The advance has besieged more than 160,000 civilians are trapped and forced the evacuation of one of the few remaining hospitals in the area, run by the international medical organization Doctors Without Borders.
Following the suicide bombings, ISIS militants entered Marea and fighting began inside the town, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based opposition media outfit that tracks Syria’s civil war.
The territorial gains around the rebel strongholds of Marea and Azaz, north of Aleppo city, are a blow to the Syrian rebels, who have been struggling to retain a foothold in the region while being squeezed by opponents from all sides. They also demonstrated the ISIS group’s ability to stage major offensives and capture new areas, despite a string of recent losses in Syria and Iraq.
The ISIS offensive targeting Syrian opposition strongholds near the Turkish border began Thursday night.
On Friday, militants of the group captured six villages near Azaz, triggering intense fighting that trapped tens of thousands of civilians unable to flee to safety while Turkey’s border remains closed. A few hundred fled west to the Kurdish-held enclave of Afrin.
People are “terrified for their lives,” the International Rescue Committee (IRC) said in a statement. The group said it has received confirmed reports that at least four entire families, including women and children, were killed Friday on the outskirts of the town of Azaz.
The IRC runs centers for both children and women in Azaz and provides clean water and sanitation to a camp supporting 8,500 people. More than half the camp’s population has fled to find safety elsewhere in the town, it said. The IRC also relocated its staff from the centers and camp to shelter to safer areas of Azaz until the situation enables them to return.
The U.N. refugee agency said it was “deeply concerned” about the fighting affecting thousands of vulnerable civilians.
“Fleeing civilians are being caught in crossfire and are facing challenges to access medical services, food, water and safety,” it said in a statement Saturday.
The advances brought the militants to within few kilometers of the rebel-held town of Azaz and cut off supplies to Marea further south. Marea has long been considered a bastion of moderate Syrian revolutionary forces fighting to topple President Bashar Assad.
Azaz, which hosts tens of thousands of internally displaced people, lies north of Aleppo city, which has been divided between a rebel-held east and government-held west.
A route known as the Azaz corridor links rebel-held eastern Aleppo with Turkey. That has been a lifeline for the rebels since 2012, but a government offensive backed by Russian air power and regional militias earlier this year dislodged rebels from parts of Azaz and severed their corridor between the Turkish border and Aleppo.
The predominantly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who are fighting for their autonomy in the multilayered conflict, also gained ground against the rebels.
In recent months, Syrian rebel factions in Azaz — which include mainstream opposition fighters known as the Free Syrian Army along with some ultraconservative insurgent factions — have been squeezed between ISIS to the east and predominantly Kurdish forces to the west and south, while Turkey restricts the flow of goods and people through the border.

Amnesty International said that armed groups attacking the Kurdish neighbourhood of Sheikh Maqsoud in Aleppo since February have killed at least 83 civilians, and called on Turkey, Gulf states and others to stop the transfer of arms to the Aleppo Conquest operations room–an umbrella for Syrian Islamist rebels.
“Armed groups surrounding the Sheikh Maqsoud district of Aleppo city have repeatedly carried out indiscriminate attacks that have struck civilian homes, streets, markets and mosques, killing and injuring civilians and displaying a shameful disregard for human life,” Amnesty said last week.
The organization has gathered strong evidence of serious violations from eyewitnesses, and obtained the names of at least 83 civilians, including 30 children, who were killed by attacks in Sheikh Maqsoud between February and April 2016.
More than 700 civilians were also injured, according to the local field hospital. Video evidence shows artillery shelling, rocket and mortar attacks carried out by the Fatah Halab (Aleppo Conquest) coalition of armed Islamist groups in the area, targeting the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) controlling the district.
“The relentless pummelling of Sheikh Maqsoud has devastated the lives of civilians in the area. A wide array of armed groups from the Fatah Halab coalition has launched what appear to be repeated indiscriminate attacks that may amount to war crimes,” said Magdalena Mughrabi, interim Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International.
There are around 30,000 civilians living in Sheikh Maqsoud which is a predominately Kurdish part of Aleppo city.

Anadolu Agency says on Saturday said the strikes came late Friday, hours after rockets fired from Syria hit a southern Turkish town and maimed five people.
It said the Arclight airstrikes and artillery fire also destroyed 7 buildings used as IS group headquarters. The claim could not be independently verified, and Turkey has not explained how it can count casualties in Syria.
Cross-border fire from Syria has claimed 21 lives and maimed dozens of others in the border town of Kilis this year.
Authorities blame the attacks on IS group which has a presence in northern Syria. Turkey typically responds by shelling IS group positions.

[Al Ahram] Fighting between IS group and Syrian rebels near the Turkish border has killed dozens of people in the last two days, as IS Lions of Islam keep up an offensive that has led to rapid territorial gains, a monitoring group said on Saturday.
Fighters from the Lion of Islam group entered the rebel-held town of Marea early on Saturday, using at least two boom-mobiles in the assault, and festivities continued later in the day, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
An advance by the jihadists on Friday that cut Marea off from another key myrmidon-held town, Azaz, was their biggest territorial gain in the northern province of Aleppo for two years, the Observatory said.
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.... has been battling rebel factions fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) since late last year, but festivities have intensified in recent weeks.
The fighting in the past two days has killed at least 27 civilians as well as 41 combatants, the Observatory said.
A US-led coalition carried out air raids on IS positions in one of the villages that the jihadists had captured from rebels, it said.
IS on Friday encroached from the east on a narrow area of rebel control connected to the Turkish border, through which the rebels have received support.
To the west of that rebel-held area is territory under the control of the Kurdish YPG militia and its allies, who have been fighting the rebels but also separately battling Islamic State.
One of the Kurdish-allied groups took over a village west of Marea on Saturday, apparently in a rare agreement with the FSA rebels, the Observatory reported.
The move could bring the Kurdish-allied group, Jaish al-Thuwwar, into confrontation with IS in the area. It also further erodes rebel control there from the west.
The United States is backing the YPG and its allies in an offensive against IS in the northern countryside of neighbouring Raqqa province, which is home to the group's de facto capital, Raqqa city.
Washington has also supported FSA factions.

[ARA News] ERBIL – Exremists of the Islamic State (ISIS) on Saturday executed four Syrian men in the northeastern city of Raqqa on charges of spying for the US-led coalition.
The group released a video showing four young men, dressed in orange, allegedly confessing their involvement in communicating with the western coalition about ISIS movements inside Raqqa.
The victims, identified as Hamoud al-Hamoud, Ahmed Mardud, Ali al-Ali and Abdullah al-Khalaf, were beheaded by ISIS masked jihadis.
The video then shows life in Raqqa under ISIS, where a jihadi speaker stresses that life will continue in the territory of the alleged Caliphate despite the American and Russian military campaign against ISIS.
[ARA News] The Kurds in Sheikh Maqsoud suffer from the absence of many services as a result of the blockade imposed by Islamist rebel groups on their district, mainly by the Nusra Front (al-Qaeda branch in Syria).
Speaking to ARA News, Luqman Ismail, one of the stranded citizens in Sheikh Maqsoud, said that electricity outage continues for nearly three years because of the barbaric bombardment led by Islamist rebels on the main network of power outside the district.
“These groups are apparently punishing the people of Sheikh Maqsoud for their support to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), who are engaged in fighting with Islamist rebels around the city of Aleppo,” he reported.
“People now depend on power generators that work only 4-5 hours per day. We also suffer from the lack of fuel to run these generators,” Ismail added.
