[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemen's national army has made progress on the ground in the front ’Alab north of the province of Saada, close to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s border after seizing back strategic heights in the Directorate of Baqm following battles with the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... militias.
Brigadier General Saleh Qaroush, the commander of the fifth brigade of the border guards in Yemen’s army, said in a statement to Al Arabiya that a special unit was able to carry out a successful infiltration into the positions of the militias stationed in Taba al-Hamra and Janah Al Saqr.
Qaroush pointed out that the areas that have been controlled will cut the supply line to the militias as it overlooks the areas of Khashan and Abwab Al Hadid, pointing out that about five elements of the Iran-backed Houthis were killed, including a sniper, while the rest fled.
An aircraft belonging to the coalition forces supported the yemeni forces to hit two military vehicles of the militia and eliminating those on board and other reinforcements in Abwab Al Hadid area.
The engineering teams were able to extract about 100 mines of various sizes planted by the militias, after creating gaps to support the advancement of the forces of the Fifth Brigade.

[NPR] Noor Salman, widow of the gunman who opened fire on an Orlando nightclub in 2016, has been found not guilty on both the counts she faced. U.S. District Judge Paul Byron announced the verdict Friday, roughly one month after the trial opened.
Salman was the only person charged in connection with the massacre that left 50 people ‐ including her husband, Omar Mateen ‐ dead at Pulse nightclub. She stood accused of helping Mateen prepare for and plan the 2016 massacre at the nightclub and of obstructing investigators' efforts after the killing.
Her defense team argued that far from being an eager collaborator, Salman was instead a "simple woman" with a low IQ, susceptible to influence and abused by Mateen. While prosecutors asserted that Noor had given misleading statements to state and federal investigators, the defense maintained that she had been manipulated and mistreated during these interrogations.
Later in the trial, Salman's attorneys also called for Byron to declare a mistrial or dismiss the case outright, saying the prosecution had withheld crucial information for the development of their argument. It was not until after the prosecution had rested its case, nearly two weeks after the trial opened, that prosecutors disclosed the information in an email last Saturday. Emphasis added.
She confessed to assisting her husband, was found to be lying to Law Enforcement, but is said to be 'simple minded and have a low IQ.' She was obviously following Islamic law as it applies to husbands and wives, therefore you must acquit.

Jury make up please. Could we have a list of names ?
#4
Possible scenario. I say again, possible scenario:
Mateen Sr. was a long time Bureau source. Bureau and or Mateen Case Officer decides Mateen Jr. would make a good source as well.
Sr. Mateen Case Officer pitches Mateen Jr. Younger Mateen discovers his father has betrayed the brotherhood for years. Mateen rejects pitch, becomes extremely butt hurt.
Case Officer senses trouble, is told to investigate Mateen (you created this POS, you fix it).
Younger Mateen discovers he's now being investigated by Bureau, then goes jihadi.
“I wish that the FBI had recorded their interviews with Ms. Salman as there were several significant inconsistencies with the written summaries of her statements.”

“I wish that the FBI had recorded their interviews with Ms. Salman as there were several significant inconsistencies with the written summaries of her statements.”
Could there be a pattern developing with regard to the recording of FBI interviews ?
#8
Mateen Jr. could not hold a job. Someone finally hooked him up with G4S Secure Solutions. I wonder who provided the employment assistance ?
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) is a United States/ British-based security services company, and a subsidiary of G4S plc. It was founded as The Wackenhut Corporation in 1954, in Coral Gables, Florida, by George Wackenhut and three partners (all are former FBI agents). In 2002, the company was acquired for $570 million by Danish corporation Group 4 Falck (itself then merged to form British company G4S in 2004).[1] In 2010, G4S Wackenhut changed its name to G4S Secure Solutions (USA) to reflect the new business model.[2][3] The G4S Americas Region headquarters is in Jupiter, Florida.[4][5]

At P2K's link in #5, the jury foreman says they were convinced the wife knew but were unable to convict based on the evidence presented.
Me, I'm starting to think the FBI punted so as not to reveal their own involvement. The fact that they do not record interviews does not inspire confidence.
#11
The FBI did the same thing with Tsarnaev. They did not tell him he was identified by Russia, so he blamed his friends. They tried to recruit him and so insulting him. He proceeded to murder his three friends, and then went on to his bombing attack.
Regarding such matters the FBI has been worse than useless. They have been provoking massacres!

Even a backwater sheriff's department can afford a video camera for interviews, having tape makes convictions so much easier for the prosecution. IMO the FBI refuses to change its interview policy in order to cover up their behavior--incompetent interrogations and creation of the facts as they want them. See: FBI lab scandals.

Al-Rooters. Paleos learn slowly
Dozens of Palestinian youths gathered by the Gaza-Israel border on Saturday, though the area remained mostly quiet, a day after deadly violence broke out in one of the biggest Palestinian demonstrations there in years.
In the southern Gaza Strip, residents said Israeli troops fired warning shots toward a crowd of youths, some of whom burned tyres. Health officials said two people were wounded and an Israeli military spokesman said he was checking the details.
On Friday, at least 15 Palestinians were killed by Israeli security forces confronting protesters, some of whom the military said had opened fire, rolled burning tyres and hurled rocks and fire bombs toward troops across the border.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared Saturday a national day of mourning and a general strike was called across the occupied West Bank. Thousands in Gaza marched through the streets at funerals for those killed.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians had gathered on Friday along the fenced 65-km (40-mile) frontier, where tents were erected for a planned six-week protest pressing for a right of return for refugees and their descendents to what is now Israel. The Israeli military estimate was 30,000.
Families brought their human shields children to the encampments just a few hundred metres (yards) from the Israeli security barrier with the Islamist Hamas-run enclave. Football pitches were marked out in the sand and scout bands played. Planned collateral damage
But as Friday wore on, hundreds of Palestinian youths ignored calls from the organizers and the Israeli military to stay away from the frontier, where Israeli soldiers on the other side kept watch from dirt mound embankments, and violence broke out.
The Gaza Health Ministry had said on Friday 16 people were killed but revised the death toll to 15 on Saturday. "He got better"

No deaths? They aren'tg giving up that quickly; I hope.
According to the last sentence of the article, Whuns Smith2548, there have been fifteen deaths.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two members of the US-led coalition against the ISIS group were killed in the northern Syrian city of Manbij, the US military and a monitor said on Friday.
The attack in Manbij, a city where US personnel is stationed, was carried out late Thursday, the day US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... said he would pull out forces "very soon".
"Two Coalition personnel were killed and five were maimed by an improvised bomb in Syria" at around midnight (2100 GMT), the US-led coalition said in a statement.
It did not provide the nationalities of the pair nor did any group immediately claim responsibility for the attack.
The US-led coalition said it was withholding details on the circumstances of the attack pending further investigation.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based monitor which relies on a nationwide network of sources on the ground, said the attack hit a convoy in Manbij.
The monitor said four members of the local council were also maimed in the kaboom, which struck in the heart of the city.
Manbij used to be a key hub for the snuffies when their self-styled "caliphate" was at its peak. It was retaken by Kurdish-led forces backed by the coalition.
It is located between the northern city of Aleppo and the western bank of the Euphrates, less than 30 kilometers (south of the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... Manbij lies where several international influence zones meet and risks becoming a new flashpoint in the post-IS scramble for Syria.
