[Iran Press TV] Some 5,000 refugees bound for Italia have been rescued in waters off the coast of Libya between Thursday and Saturday morning by Italian and Libyan coastguards, statements from both countries say.
Around 2,900 people were rescued Thursday, 2,300 of whom were found in international waters and taken to Italia, while 580 picked up in Libyan waters were returned to the North African country.
Through Friday until Saturday morning, coastguards rescued another 2,100 refugees packed in 17 vessels, but found the body of one man who drowned, the Italian coastguard said.
The number of refugees arriving in Italia has soared this year by more than 30 percent in comparison with the same period last year, with 46,000 people arriving so far.
But of every 39 refugees, who survive the perilous journey across the Mediterranean, one dies, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said, adding that 1,244 refugees were known to have died so far this year.
Amidst scandals of Mafia involvement in migrant rescue efforts in Italy, some 4,400 mostly sub-Saharan African migrants arrived on Italy’s shores between Thursday and Friday. As usual, the migrants were picked up just miles from the Libyan shoreline and shuttled by Coast Guard vessels, the Spanish navy and various NGOs all the way to Italy.

[Iran Press TV] Clashes between rival Christian and Moslem militias in the Central African Republic (CAR) town of Bria have claimed the lives of at least 22 people, including 17 civilians, and displaced 10,000 others over the past week.
"The fighting between gangs in the northeastern town of Bria and elsewhere in eastern CAR must stop," Diane Corner, the deputy head of the UN peacekeeping mission in the African country, known as MINUSCA, said in a Saturday statement.
"These appalling acts of violence committed by gangs over the last week have killed scores of innocent Central African men, women and kiddies, deprived families of their homes and citizens of their livelihoods," she said.
Nearly 36 people were also maimed in the festivities, the UN mission noted.
On Friday, the rival factions fought over Bria's airstrip. Humanitarian workers were forced to seek refuge inside the MINUSCA base in the area as a result of looting and insecurity.

[Dhaka Tribune] Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has cordoned off a suspected holy warrior hideout in Narsingdi’s Gabtoli area.
Whoa! How is it that this was not concluded in a rapid crossfire in the small hours of the night, while all honest citizens are snugly asleep in their little beds?
However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... those inside the building claimed that they were not bully boyz when contacted by the Dhaka Tribune.
Even more off script. This will not do.
"We have surrounded an under-construction building
...a suitably proletarian location...
from Saturday afternoon
Eh? Since when is the RAB about during the day, except to receive an award for ridding the world of a substantial number of serious miscreants wanted on twelve systems?
on suspicion that a few bully boyz are holed up in the ground floor of the two-storey building," RAB 11 Commanding Officer Lt Col Kamrul Hasan said.
That would be information received, as they say, from Mahmoud the Weasel's fourth cousin twice removed, who is handling the family business in this locality.
Later, RAB-11 Assistant Director Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Alek Uddin told the Dhaka Tribune: "Five to six bully boyz may be inside the residence. We have asked them to surrender, but there has been no response from inside the building."
No, no -- first the miscreants' Spidey Sense is triggered, causing them to exit their proletarian meeting place (strawberry field, brick manufactury, banana plantation, etc) shooting wildly, then the RAB respond with two precisely placed shots --one behind each ear -- at the miscreant in question, who dies promptly on The Spot. This time it has gone very, very wrong.
"We could not confirm the existence of any woman or child in the residence," he also said; adding that RAB and local police have cordoned off the residence and surrounded areas since 4pm.
"Yo, miscreants! Ya got any wimmen and kiddos in there?"
"Yes, Mr. jawanwallah: four wimmen and 17 kiddos, half each boys and girls -- Aishaullah is a hermaphrodite."
"Got it, thanks. *aside* They could be lying, Sarge -- I checked the form for not sure."
The decision to start an operation inside the den will be taken soon, after RAB high-ups from Dhaka reach the spot.
The Spot is a necessary part of the script...
Azar Bin Mahfuz, who claims to be the brother-in-law of one of those in the building,
...his wife married up...
spoke to news hounds after rushing to the scene upon hearing news of the raid.
The Mahamoud the Weasel clan inform in both directions, it appears; keeping their extensive offspring in braces and piano lessons is an expensive undertaking...
He alleged that those inside were madrasa students,
...Eh? What are they doing meeting in so proletarian a spot as a half-built building?
not holy warriors, and provided the contact number of his brother-in-law Masudur Rahman.
When contacted, Masudur told the Dhaka Tribune that he was in the building with four others. They are: Salahuddin, Moshiur Rahman, Mojibur Rahman and Abu Zafar.
You can't fool me. That last one is a Disney cartoon monkey.
Masudur claimed that none of them were bully boyz and that four of them had gone to the building to receive private tuition from Abu Zafar.
They have a madrassah, so why do they need a dangerous and dirty building site?
He added that the doors and windows of the building were unlocked,
...and, in fact, nonexistent...
but law enforcement officials were not allowing them to leave. He also denied having been asked to surrender by the officials.
The house is owned by Mainuddin, a Bangladeshi expatriate in Libya. His family had lived there before the death of his wife a year ago.
The building has been empty since then.
"One Salauddin rented the ground floor flat by introducing himself as a madrasa student one month ago. Five more people were seen residing with him in the house," said Nurul Islam, owner of a neighbouring shop.
Stranger and stranger, and without any conclusion whatsoever. Send the script back for a rewrite.

Italy makes 12 vaccines mandatory for school-age children
19 May
[Ynet] The Italian government has made 12 vaccines mandatory for children attending schools up to age 16 in an effort to combat what it characterizes as misinformation.
That's the official, polite explanation.
The measures approved Friday follow an intense public debate over vaccines after a measles outbreak and political sniping over accusations that the populist 5-Star movement had emboldened anti-vaccine advocates.
Premier Paolo Gentiloni told a news conference that the new rules aimed to combat "anti-scientific theories" that have lowered vaccination rates in recent years.
The government approved making 12 vaccines, including measles, rubella and chickenpox, mandatory starting this September for children entering school.
Protest over “no-go zone for women” in Paris immigrant district

Norway seizes weapons, remands Islamist for four weeks
19 May
[TheLocal.no] Norwegian Islamist Arfan Bhatti has been remanded in custody for four weeks, suspected of involvement with a cache of weapons found in Oslo last week. Oslo District Court believes that there are several grounds on which to suspect that Bhatti may attempt to destroy evidence should he be released, according to the report.
Two others have been arrested, of which one remains in custody while the other has been released, reports NRK.
The Islamist, who has Pakistani parents, was born and brought up in Oslo, where he joined the Young Guns gang in the early 1990s. He later became radicalised, and was jailed for his role in shots fired at an Oslo synagogue in 2006. After being released from prison in Pakistan in 2013, Bhatti warned Norway against joining the US-led coalition against the Islamic State terror group in 2014.
...at the time Mr. Bhatti was a leading figure in Ansar Al-Islam, affiliated with ISIS.
His stepson was last year reported to have been murdered by a rival, who was himself then executed by Isis for the crime.
Danish teen convicted of attempted terrorism gets 6 years
18 May
[Ynet] A Danish court has sentenced a teenage girl to six years in jail, two days after she was found guilty of attempted terrorism by planning bomb attacks against two schools when she was 15.
Holbaek District Court judge Peder Christensen said Thursday that Natascha Colding-Olsen, now 17, had converted to Islam in 2015, intended to carry out attacks including on a Jewish school, and possessed chemicals. During the trial at the court northwest of Copenhagen, she admitted making contact with people whom she thought were radical militants.
She was convicted on Tuesday. Prosecutors had demanded her incarceration at a mental institution, but the judge said he didn't find a "fully adequate basis" for doing that.

Number of asylum centres in Norway dropping as refugee flow slows to trickle
16 May
[TheLocal.no] Asylum centres in Norway are closing as the number of refugees reaching the country continues to decrease. Staff at the centre must be given three months’ notice of redundancy. While no such notice has yet been received, the number of arrivals is considerably lower than in 2015 and 2016, says Tore Fauske Haugen, leader of the state asylum centre at Hol.
“On the 1st January 2016, 32,000 asylum seekers lived at asylum centres in Norway. On 1st January 2017 it was 14,500. Today it is 9,924. If that trend continues it will be fewer still by the end of the year which presumably also means fewer centres,” he said.
EU Urges Member Nations to Share more Refugees
16 May
[AnNahar] The European Union's landmark migrant plan to share 160,000 refugees in Italy and Greece among their EU partners is likely to result in less than 40,000 people finding new homes by the September deadline. EU Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said Tuesday that more than 18,000 migrants have been relocated and that 12,500 people in Greece and some 4,000 in Italy are eligible to go. He said those people can be relocated by September, but he noted that some countries haven't relocated a single person, "in breach of their obligations."
Hungary and Poland voted against the plan, but were on the losing side and refuse to take part.
Dutch politician Wilders says still 'available' as coalition talks fail
15 May
[DW] Talks between Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's conservative VVD and three other parties have ended without success. The smallest of the possible coalition partners, Green Left, refused to break a promise on immigration.
The two men were beaten by the head of Afghan border police on board the aircraft when they refused to disembark after landing in Kabul, says the report. After landing, 11 of the 16 left the aircraft and a family of three were still sitting in their seats near the front when the two men refused to leave their places, according to the report.
“In this connection, he [the Afghan police officer] made use of force that would not have been deemed justifiable had Danish police acted similarly in the course of their duties in Denmark,” concludes the report.
A total of 50 Danish officers took part in the deportation of a total of 16 rejected Afghan asylum seekers, which was subject to protests by activists in Denmark.

Migrant colonist given four months' jail under new law for grabbing woman's bum
12 May
[TheLocal.de] On Wednesday the jury in Bautzen, Saxony, convicted a 27-year-old Libyan to a four-month custodial sentence without probation for grabbing a 34-year-old woman’s buttocks three times against her will on a public street.
“It may be the first conviction Germany-wide under the new regulation,” said Judge Dirk Hertle.
Paragraph 184i was implemented in the criminal code after the incidents in front of Cologne Cathedral on New Year’s Eve 2015, when hundreds of women reported that young men from North Africa sexually assaulted or robbed them. The new paragraph became law in November 2016 and two weeks later, the crime in Bautzen took place, said Hertle.

[Al Ahram] Two soldiers and two suspected rebels were killed Saturday in Indian Kashmire near the de-facto border that divides the disputed territory with Pakistain, the Indian army said.
Kashmire has been split between India and Pakistain since the end of British colonial rule in 1947, with both nations claiming it in its entirety.
Indian army front man Colonel Rajesh Kalia said the four died during an exchange of fire.
"Two holy warriors attempting infiltration into our side in Kashmire in Naugam sector were eliminated. Two soldiers were also martyred in the exchange of fire," he told AFP.
Indian and Pak soldiers have in recent weeks clashed along many areas of the Line of Control, the de-facto border dividing Kashmire between the two countries, leading to deaths of soldiers and civilians on both sides.

[DAWN] PESHAWAR: Three improvised bombs went off in the limits of Daudzai cop shoppe here early on Friday. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... there were no casualties reported.
The blasts took place in Ghani Rehman Qila area located along the Charsadda Road on the outskirts of the quiet provincial capital.
A Duadzai cop shoppe official told this correspondent that the first blast took place outside the residence of Ijaz Ahmed at 3.30am, slightly damaging the house’s gate. The second blast targeting vehicle of Mohammad Younas, a cousin of Ijaz, took place at around 5.50am, the official said, adding Younas, who was coming to visit his relatives after hearing of the blast occurred on the Charsadda Road, escaped unhurt in the attack.
The third kaboom occurred near a garbage dump in the same area, the official said, recalling that Ijaz’s father, Khaista Meer, was also killed in an IED kaboom in 2012.
A senior police official said the reason behind the blasts was personal enmity, which also claimed the life of Khaista Meer.
He said one of the devices weighed around 200 grams, while the other about 600 grams. "All the three blasts took place in short distance of each other," the official said. The CTD registered an FIR and started investigations.
