Are they given golden keys for unlocking the gates of Paradise? That’s what the Mullahs gave the boys sent to clear the minefields during the Iran-Iraq war.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Amid growing concerns regarding the massive deployment of the Afghan youths in Syria war by Iran, the Afghan unity government deputy chief executive Haji Mohamamd Mohaqiq has been spotted in a gathering of the Fatemiyoun brigade operating under the Iranian Revutionary Guard to fight in Syria, a move which has further sparked concerns among the people regarding the fate of the Afghan youths who die and those returning to the country from the Syrian conflict.
Mohaqiq has reportedly attended the gathering in Tehran to praise the youths and Fatemiyoun brigade for the turing the conflict in Syria into the favor of the regime in power led by Bashir al-Assad.
He has reportedly hailed the leader of Hezb-e-Ullah Hasan Nasrullha and the commander of the Fatemiyoun brigade for their recent victory in the war.
However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... back in Afghanistan, the government officials and people are concerned that the participation of the Afghan youths will have a negative impact on the situation of the country.
An Afghan politician Ghulam Farooq Majroh says the participation of the Afghan youths in Syria conflicts and government officials endorsing such moves will have a negative impact on the country, considering the ongoing situation in the country.
The former Afghan intelligence chief Rahmatullah Nabil had earlier warned that the deployment of the Afghan youths to Syria may shift the Iran-Saudi rivalry to Afghanistan.
Amid growing concerns regarding the massive recruitment of the Afghan youths by Iran for the Syrian conflict, Nabil has called the move by Iran as a quite dangerous move.

Isn't that what Iran did in the Iran - Iraq war? I recall reports of Iran breaching minefields with mobs of conscripts, who may have not been armed.
I can't find anything on that at the moment. One of reasons I thoroughly dislike the mullahs. Iran used to be beautiful.

It follows a statement broadcast on TV yesterday by Major-General Wanis Bukhamada, in his capacity as head of the new central operations room, that anyone breaking the law will be severely dealt with.
In his statement he ordered people who had taken over homes belonging to gunnies to leave immediately. So too must those who had taken over state or municipal property.
He also warned that anyone illegally arresting, detaining or kidnapping people while claiming to be part of the armed forces or the security services would be punished. As to the municipal guard, the agricultural police and other security agencies in Benghazi, they would be given full backing and they needed to get back to work.
Several times in his televised speech has said that criminals in the city would not be tolerated and would be punished. The city was going to improve, he said.
His call follows one earlier this month from Field Marshal Khalifa Hafter in which he called on all police in the east of the country to go back to work.
Yesterday, prior to the speech, the operations room launched a number of anti-drugs and anti-liquor raids in Benghazi, netting some 35 alleged dealers. Five were said to be Libyan, the rest from sub-Saharan Africa. Also targeted were unmarked vehicles, new construction sites to see if they had planning permission and abandoned buildings to see if they were being used for illicit activities.
Meanwhile today, Benghazi acting mayor Abdel Rahman Elabbar had a meeting with military and municipal figures to plan for a major cleanup of the city.

The raid yesterday ended with the arrest of Noor Hadia Baba and fourteen of his supporters. Two others who had shot it out with the arriving Misratans were killed.
Baba, who has been linked the Islamist Lion of Islams, is accused of murdering seven members of a rival family last week after one of his own relatives was killed in a dispute over plot of land.
It is thought that Misratan security forces were executing a warrant for Baba’s arrest issued in the city, when they met violent resistance and had to besiege the building.
Less than two years ago Khoms was left without electricity when another family feud led to heavy exchanges of gunfire which knocked out the town’ power station.

[TheGuardian] A 20-year-old man has been arrested in Victoria after counter-terrorism raids on Monday, with police alleging he was involved in preparing for planning a terrorist act in Melbourne on New Year’s Eve.
The man has not been charged. The Victoria police deputy commissioner Shane Patton told reporters on Tuesday morning that the man “was intending to use a firearm to shoot and kill as many people as he could in Federation Square area on New Year’s Eve”.
“The male is one of our high-risk persons of interest. We have been monitoring him for a very lengthy period of time. He’s an Australian citizen and he is of Somalian parents.”
In a joint counter-terrorism operation between state and federal police and intelligence agencies, searches were conducted at two residential properties in the south-western suburb of Werribee and the northern suburb of Meadow Heights, as well as a commercial property in Footscray, in Melbourne’s inner west.
The man was arrested just before 3pm on Monday. The search at the man’s home in Werribee would continue into Tuesday afternoon, Patton said. “What we are seeing is that the search will be complex,” he said.
The man is now being interviewed in relation to preparing to commit a terrorist attack, and collecting documents to facilitate a terrorist attack.
Patton said that once the interview was complete, he expected the man would face court, possibly some time on Tuesday afternoon.
“We expect that he will appear at the Melbourne magistrates court and that he will be charged with those offences,” Patton said, adding: “This male did not access a firearm. I think it is very important that I provide that reassurance to the public.
“He has been subject to our active investigation and at no stage did he access a firearm … The arrest means that this threat has been removed.
“We are quite confident that there is no risk or no threat to the Victorian community now that we have removed him from society … there is no ongoing threat posed in respect to New Year’s Eve, Christmas or any other area.”
An acting deputy commissioner for the Australian federal police, Ian McCartney, said the charges that police expected to bring against the man were serious and carried a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Police tossed in the slammer Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! the man after he attempted to purchase an automatic rifle.
The man, who was not named, had downloaded instructions from an al-Qaeda-linked website on how to launch a terrorist attack and how to use firearms, according to Victoria State Police Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton.
"What we will be alleging is that he was intending to use a firearm to shoot and kill as many people as he could in the Federation Square area on New Year's Eve," Patton said Tuesday.
Counterterrorism police had been monitoring the man for some time. He was allegedly a known bully boy and a sympathizer of the "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.... " (IS) group. Police acted when he met with people in an unsuccessful attempt to procure a gun.
A year ago, police foiled a plot to attack the same popular area on Christmas Day, arresting several men who planned to use explosives, knives and guns to target the location.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and Jaish al-Izza are in serious trouble inside the northeastern countryside of Hama, as they find themselves nearly enveloped around their last strongholds in this rural area.
Backed by heavy Arclight airstrikes from the Russian Air Force, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has steadily crept their way to the towns of Umm Miyal and al-Rahjan, which are two strongholds for the jihadist rebels in northeast Hama.
The Syrian Army was able to better their positions around Umm Miyal, today, after capturing the small town of Mustarihah.
As a result of this advance, the Syrian Arab Army is now situated just south of Umm Miyal, leaving the jihadist rebels in a very uncomfortable spot.
If HTS and Jaish al-Izza are unable to beat back the Syrian Armed Forces in the coming days, they will be forced to give up this last piece of northeastern Hama that is under their control.
