[AlAhram] The armed forces front man said on Sunday that the military had killed and captured several snuffies in raids in Sinai based on intelligence provided by members of the public
Egypt’s military said on Sunday it had killed 16 "extremely dangerous and armed takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... s" in Sinai since Wednesday as part of the ongoing Operation Sinai 2018 counter-terrorism effort.
In an official statement, the 15th since the comprehensive operation was launched more than a month ago, Egypt’s armed forces front man Tamer El-Refaie said four takfiris had been killed and three leaders tossed in the clink Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! in mountainous areas in Central Sinai, based on intelligence provided by the "honorable citizens of Sinai".
Another 12 armed takfiri forces of Evil were killed during a shootout as armed-forces units conducted raids in Sinai, with the takfiris found in possession of weapons and satellite communication devices.
The Arabic word "takfiri" refers to hard boy Sunni Moslems who accuse other Moslems of being infidels, often as a justification for using violence against them.
According to El-Refaie's statement, a non-commissioned officer and a private soldier from the army were killed in the gunfire, with one officer, a non-commissioned officer and four private soldiers injured.
Meanwhile, ...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck reached for the green sauce... the Egyptian air force destroyed nine targets used by terrorist elements, including a hideout, a water tanker and three booby-trapped 4x4 vehicles.
An underground cache of weapons was found by the armed forces in raids in Rafah, including 34 BM-21 "Grad" rocket launchers, Kornet anti-tank guided missiles, and four shoulder-launched anti-tank RPGs.
Highly explosive C4 and TNT material was also found by armed-forces units, who destroyed a storehouse used to manufacture improvised bombs (IEDs) in North Sinai’s Sheikh Zuweid, with around 130 bombs discovered.
Trenches filled with weaponry, ammunition and military uniforms were also destroyed.
Military engineers detected and destroyed a tunnel opening inside one of the houses located along Egypt's border, also detonating and neutralizing 83 bombs that were planted to target troops in the area, and confiscating books that assert the takfiri ideology.
Also destroyed were 285 hideouts in North and Central Sinai containing ammunition, IEDs, books, satellite communications, and a media centre. Six cars and 32 unlicensed cycle of violences, some of them hidden underground, were likewise destroyed.
More than 4,680 kilograms of ready-to-sell narcotics were also seized after the armed forces discovered and destroyed six farms growing marijuana and opium poppies.
The navy, in cooperation with the interior ministry, seized a commercial ship in the vicinity of Alexandria Port carrying around 3.5 tonnes of cannabis.
The army said its border guards, in cooperation with air-force units, destroyed five 4x4 vehicles as they attempted to infiltrate into Egyptian through the Western Desert.
In addition, the statement said, combined military and police units continued to secure and protect public and private property, manning 610 security checkpoints nationwide, and arresting a number of suspects and wanted criminals.
The military has also been working with the supply ministry to provide food convoys in Sinai, as well as opening a number of outlets selling food at low prices, continuing the state's efforts to support the people of North and Central Sinai.
Operation Sinai 2018 was launched "to implement the plan of comprehensive confrontation of terrorist and criminal elements and organizations in North and Central Sinai, and in other areas in the Nile Delta and desert areas west of the Nile Valley," according to the armed forces.
In a presser on Thursday, El-Refai said that 105 takfiris and 16 army personnel have been killed since the anti-terrorism operation started on 9 February.

SPECIAL SUNDAY MIRROR INVESTIGATION: Authorities failed to act over 40 years - despite repeated warnings to social workers - with up to 1,000 girls, some as young as 11, abused in Telford
Up to 1,000 children could have suffered in Britannia’s worst known abuse scandal - where sex gangs targeted girls as young as 11. As many as 1,000 children could have suffered at the merciless hands of perverts and torturers in Telford since the 1980s. Girls as young as 11 have been lured from their families to be drugged, beaten and raped in an epidemic that, say victims, is still ongoing.
THREE people were murdered and two others died in tragedies linked to the scandal.

Knowledge of the crime and failure to act - an accessory to the crime. Prosecute all the officials.
[IsraelTimes] German police say a mosque in Berlin has been set on fire causing severe damage. There were no injuries.
They say the mosque in the Reinickendorf district was set ablaze early Sunday, likely by three teenagers.
The group that runs the Koca Sinan Mosque writes on Facebook that the entire interior of the building was destroyed. The mosque is run by DITIP, a religious organization that’s close to the Ottoman Turkish government.
Berlin police say they’re investigating and assuming political motives behind the attack.
In separate incidents, Molotov cocktails were thrown at a Ottoman Turkish immigrants colonists’ association in the western town of Meschede also Sunday, and on a mosque in Lauffen, in southern Germany, on Friday. Nobody was injured in the attacks. Police are still investigating both incidents as well.
So many possibilities: Kurds, Shiites, Syrians, native Germans, troublemaking yoots, rival gangs, neo-Nazis... The Local - Germany adds:
Stuttgart prosecutors and local police said on Saturday that five people were being sought for attempted murder in connection to the Lauffen attack.
There were 950 attacks in Germany last year on Moslems or places linked to Islam, according to the interior ministry.
[Motherboard] Phantom Secure is one of the most infamous companies in the secure phone industry. Sources and court documents detail that its owner has been arrested for allegedly helping criminal organizations.
“FBI are flexing their muscle,” one source familiar with the secure phone industry, and who gave Motherboard specific and accurate details about the operation before it was public knowledge, said. Motherboard granted the sources in this story anonymity to talk about sensitive developments in the secure phone trade. The source said the Phantom operation was carried out in partnership with Canadian and Australian authorities.
A complaint filed in the Southern District of California on Thursday charges Vincent Ramos, the founder and CEO of Canada-based Phantom, with racketeering conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs, as well as conspiracy to distribute narcotics, and aiding and abetting. Authorities arrested Ramos on Thursday, according to the court docket. Crucially, the complaint alleges that Ramos and Phantom were not simply incidental to a crime, like Apple might be when a criminal uses an iPhone, but that the company was specifically created to facilitate criminal activity.
[ALMASDARNEWS] In conjunction with allied Syrian Lion of Islams, the Ottoman Turkish military launched operation Olive Branch in January 2018 to oust Kurdish-led forces, which allegedly have ties to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), from parts of northern Syria near the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... Ottoman Turkish warplanes conducted a series of raids across northern Iraq over the weekend, successfully destroying 18 PKK targets, according to reports by Ottoman Turkish media.
Areas targeted include the Zap, Metina, Gara and Hakurk regions of Iraq, according to information released by the Ottoman Turkish military. Details regarding the number of casualties inflicted or the specific targets of the Arclight airstrikes are yet to be released.
The group ‐ which is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU ‐ maintains a military presence in northern Iraq near the Turkey-Iraq and Iran-Iraq borders.
Turkey has regularly carried out similar attacks against the PKK in northern Iraq, and Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu recently said that they would be conducting joint military operations with Iraqi forces, though he didn’t specify when this campaign will begin, or if it will include a ground offensive.
In a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Alghad Press, the Ottoman Turkish military said the air raids started on Saturday and lasted until Sunday, targeting the Hakurk, Zap, Metina and Avasin regions in northern Iraq.

“Tens of suspects were arrested, while rest houses were destroyed. Huge amounts of weapons were confiscated,” he added.
The operation, according to Husseini, was carried out in collaboration of the Federal Police and the Iraqi fighter jets. He said that the operation is likely to end within few hours.
Iraqi security troops announced, earlier today, the launch of offensives to purge several regions in Hawija, southwest of Kirkuk.

“Troops managed to arrest two of the perpetrators, who are being interrogated,” he said adding that they confessed to attacking troops as well as the headquarters.
Two other separatists managed to run away, according to Saadi.
Three Iraqi security personnel were killed and injured on Friday as the headquarters of the Turkmen Front, east of Kirkuk, was targeted by unidentified gunmen using RPGs.

[IsraelTimes] Security forces on Sunday foiled an attempt to smuggle two pipe bombs into the Samaria Military Court, in the latest of a spate of attempted bombings at the West Bank facility.
Two Paleostinians, both 16-year-old residents of Jenin, were detained by Border Police guards at the security checkpoint at the entrance to the court, a police statement said.
Each of them was hiding a pipe bomb on his body, and both were taken for questioning, the statement continued.
The suspects were also found to each be holding a lighter, with which officers suspect they intended to ignite the bombs.
The entrance to the court was temporarily blocked while a sapper inspected the devices, which contained explosives, and neutralized them.
The Samaria Military Court has been targeted repeatedly in the past few months by Paleostinians carrying pipe bombs.
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian suspected of planning terror attack; second Gazook who crossed the border fence also detained in apparently unrelated incident
The IDF nabbed Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! two Paleostinians early Sunday after they separately crossed the border fence from the Gazoo Strip into Israel, one of them carrying weapons.
The military said in a statement that troops apprehended the two Gazooks shortly after they had crossed the fence.
One was found carrying a grenade and a knife. The army said he is suspected of planning to carry out a terror attack in Israel.
One of the suspects is from the north of the Strip while the other was from the south.
The army said the two incidents appeared unrelated due to the different locations.
The two were transferred to security forces for interrogation, likely by the Shin Bet security service.
Gazooks are apprehended crossing into Israel fairly regularly, many of them apparently seeking to escape an increasingly difficult humanitarian situation in the Strip. Suspects are believed to sometimes carry weapons in the hopes of being sent to Israeli prison rather than back to the Paleostinian enclave.
In the West Bank overnight, troops apprehended four terror suspects in overnight raids, and conducted a "major" operation that netted Paleostinians suspects illegally crossing into Israeli territory, the army said.
Forces also caught three Paleostinians with Molotov cocktails near a road where Israelis commonly drive, with the IDF saying it was checking whether they had thrown Molotov cocktails at passing vehicles in several instances over the past month.
[AlAhram] At least 44 pro-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.... murderous Moslems were killed and 26 more were maimed when Philippine soldiers shelled positions held by the rebels in southern Maguindanao province, the army said on Sunday.
The fighting, initially with about 50 members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters ...a MILF splinter group aligned with the Islamic State... (BIFF), broke out in a remote village in Datu Saudi Ampatuan town from Thursday morning and lasted the following day, said Lt. Col. Gerry Besana.
A soldier was slightly maimed, the army said in a separate statement.
The number of BIFF members killed and maimed was based on intelligence information, Besana said. The military did not recover any enemy bodies, he said.
Besana said the military launched artillery attacks with air support as the number of BIFF fighters had risen to about one hundred during the fighting.
The military classifies the BIFF, which it said has about 300 members, as a terrorist organization, along with the Abu Sayyaf ...also known as al-Harakat al-Islamiyya, an Islamist terror group based in Jolo, Basilan and Zamboanga. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings, murders, head choppings, and extortion in their uniquely Islamic attempt to set up an independent Moslem province in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf forces probably number less than 300 cadres. The group is closely allied with remnants of Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiya and has loose ties with MILF and MNLF who sometimes provide cannon fodder... and Maute groups.
"Seventy were killed and injured (on the BIFF side), we are still pursuing about 200 more," Besana said, adding that the clash had displaced about 500 families.
The murderous Moslems in southern Philippines were regrouping, retraining and recruiting new members for another attack elsewhere after occupying the southern city of Marawi for five months last year, according to the army.

The attempted coup took place in July of 2016, so it was under the Soetoro regime. Removing the nukes just prior to a regime change attempt certainly makes sense. Of course their removal would have required a degree of prior coordination, logistical effort, specially trained personnel, etc. Timing would have been crucial.
Not much in the media lately about nuke weapon storage in Turkey is there ?

[ALMASDARNEWS] For the five consecutive day, jihadi gunnies in north Idlib countryside rain down two encircled Shia towns with hundreds of mortar shells in retaliation of East Ghouta offensive.
Scores of civilians have been reported killed and injured ‐ including children ‐ in the rocket attack. Schools have been also suspended ever since to save lives.
Jihadi gunnies affiliated with al-Qaeda terror group stationed in neighboring Binnish and Sawaghiyah are using more than 5 mortar launchers to hit the beleaguered towns.
The deadly rocket attack comes ‐ according to gunnies ‐ as a response for the large-scale onslaught launched by government forces, supported by Russian Arclight airstrikes, against the rebel-held Easter Ghouta.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Russian warplanes have attacked high-value targets belonging to al-Qaeda affiliate militia Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (better known by its former name Jabhat al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... ) in the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib with a series of precision Arclight airstrikes.
The strikes by Russian airpower have been conducted in response to the ongoing shelling of the besieged Shiite villages of Fouaa and Kafriyah ‐ located just to the north of Idlib city ‐ by Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham.
According to sources, Russian warplanes conducted at least five airstrikes against Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham bases, gatherings and headquarters inside Idlib city using laser guided munitions (some of the bunker buster variety).
Dozens of jihadist hard boys, some of them commanders, have been killed as a result of the bombardment.

[ALMASDARNEWS] On Saturday, rebels linked to the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... unleashed a salvo of rocket fire at the predominately Christian town of As-Suqaylabiyah in Hama province’s northwestern countryside.
Militant forces in Hama province frequently attack As-Suqaylabiyah and sometimes the nearby Alawite-majority town of Tal Salhab with rocket fire. According to their own account, the rebels were targeting ’regime positions’ at As-Suqaylabiyah.
Russian warplanes and Syrian Army artillery normally responds to attacks on As-Suqaylabiyah by bombarding the bully boy stronghold towns of al-Latamenah and or Kafr Zita (also in northern Hama) within 24 hours.
To this end, rebel sources in Kafr Zita reported around midnight on Sunday that Russian airpower bombed the town with incendiary munitions. Footage of the counter-attack by pro-government forces (captured by Death Eater activists) will likely be released in the hours to come.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The rebel stronghold town of Qalaat al-Mudiq in northwest Hama province has joined the Russian-brokered Syrian reconciliation agreement reports the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD).
In the same statement, the Russian MoD said that the town of At-Touni, also located in Hama province just west of Qalaat al-Mudiq, has also joined the Syrian reconciliation agreement.
The latest peace broker has now brought the total number of reconciled settlements in Syria to 2,431 according to the Russian MoD.
Although major engagements near Qalaat al-Mudiq have not taken place for quite some time, government operations to take the stronghold in the past have produced bloody battles with defending bully boyz inflicting considerable losses on Syrian Army ranks.
At the beginning of March, it appeared that the Syrian Army was mobilizing for an attack on Qalaat al-Mudiq or areas near to it.

The bloody mortar rampage comes in retaliation for the recent military victories lately achieved by the Syrian forces in the increasingly-diminished rebel enclave in Eastern Ghouta.
Local sources reported 4 civilians tragically killed when a mortar shell hit a minibus in Jarama Suburb. 6 others were also injured in the incident.
In the meantime, the government troops literally sliced the Death Eater-controlled pocket of East Ghouta after recapturing Madira town; linking up with Army units in Harasta.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Just moments after the 48 hour ceasefire ended, the jihadist rebels resumed their month long civil war in the Aleppo, Hama, and Idlib governorate of northern Syria.
According to pro-opposition activists, the festivities occurred in the western countryside of Aleppo, today, after Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham refused any peace agreement with Jabhat Tahrir Souriya.
Intense festivities are ongoing at the moment, with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham attempting to advance into the west Aleppo towns under Jabhat Tahrir Souriya’s control.

The guy on the left, he looks like he knows how to handle a hand gun. The guy on the right is apparently just a common thug with no clue.
All this is based on how they hold their guns.
Ny money is on the guy in the middle who apparently is going to be the clear winner!
[ALMASDARNEWS] Earlier, the Russian military said that Death Eaters in Eastern Ghouta are considering letting several dozen of residents leave the area in exchange for free passage, together with their families.
According to media reports, the Syrian army has completely surrounded the major town of Douma, a Damascus suburb in Eastern Ghouta, after advancing from Mesraba to Mudeira.
Advancing Syrian government forces joined troops from near the town of Harasta, splitting the remainder of the eastern Ghouta krazed killer-controlled enclave in two.
On Thursday, according to media reports, the Syrian Arab Army managed to deploy near Douma, while other army units were reportedly advancing further, to Mesraba from Beit Sawa; troops were expected to launch a large-scale attack on the two towns.
Earlier, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2401, urging all parties to the conflict to immediately stop all festivities and adhere to a long-term humanitarian pause affecting the entire territory of Syria in order to ensure the safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid supplies as well as provide medical evacuation of those injured.
The ceasefire regime does not apply, however, to military operations against terrorist groups.
Eastern Ghouta was occupied by anti-government Islamist murderous Moslems in 2012. After the recent UN resolution, the fighting in the area didn’t abate, even when the humanitarian pause was in place, the Russian Defense Ministry said. As Death Eaters constantly target all exits from the enclave, civilians cannot leave the area safely.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued their large-scale advance in the East Ghouta region, today, seizing several areas from the Salafist tough guys near the key suburb of Harasta.
Led by the Tiger Forces and 4th Division, the Syrian Army managed to split the East Ghouta region into three pockets after a short battle with the Salafist tough guys.
Below is a virtual map that shows the Syrian Arab Army’s gains since they began their offensive on February 25th.
[AnNahar] A delegation from Syria's rebel-held Eastern Ghouta was on Sunday considering a partial evacuation deal to halt a fierce government offensive, a negotiator and monitor told AFP.
The two main rebel groups in the region, which borders Damascus, have firmly and repeatedly denied negotiating with the Syrian regime.
But on Sunday, as the government's Russian-backed assault entered its fourth week, influential figures in one rebel-held town were considering a possible evacuation offer.
A committee from Hammuriyeh met with regime representatives on Saturday, a member of the committee told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"The committee discussed a proposed reconciliation that would guarantee exit for those that want to leave, both civilians and rebels, from Hammuriyeh to other areas in Syria under rebel control," the delegation member said.
Civilians and fighters may be bused to rebel-controlled parts of Daraa province in Syria's south, or to Idlib in the northwest, held by rebels and a former al-Qaida affiliate.
"The committee is meeting on Sunday to take a decision and inform the regime. If they do not agree, there would be a resumption of the military operation on Ghouta, including Hammuriyeh," the delegation member added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said negotiations for evacuations from multiple towns were ongoing Sunday.
"A decision could be taken any moment for Hammuriyeh, Jisreen, and Saqba," said Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman.
In recent years, the regime has recaptured several areas around Damascus from rebels by pursuing fierce military offensives culminating in evacuation deals.
But Faylaq al-Rahman, the opposition faction that holds Hammuriyeh, denied it was engaging in talks.
"There are no direct or indirect negotiations with the Russian enemy or its allies," said the group's spokesman Wael Alwan.
"No one has been authorized to negotiate on behalf of Ghouta's revolutionaries, institutions, or the Free Syrian Army.
