[AlAhram] Fighting between armed bandidos and gunnies left 45 dead in northern Nigeria, police and a local militia said Sunday, amid escalating rural violence often involving cattle rustling, robbery and kidnappings.
"The 45 bodies were found scattered in the bush. The bandidos pursued residents who mobilised to defend the village after overpowering them," said a vigilante who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals.
"The dead included children abandoned by their parents during the attack" in the village of Gwaska, in Kaduna state.
"The attackers were obviously armed bandidos from neighbouring Zamfara state who have been terrorising Birnin Gwari area," he added.
The Kaduna state police chief, Austin Iwar, confirmed the attack, saying: "There was violence between the militias, who are very powerful, and bandidos."
He could not break down the casualties, saying only: "For now all we know is that 12 people were buried yesterday and 33 today."
The vigilante said the bandidos struck at about 2:30 pm (1330 GMT) Saturday and stayed for three hours before retreating to their base in the forest in Zamfara.
"They burnt down many homes," he said.
The killings follow the death of at least 25 people in separate attacks in northern Nigeria last week.
Thirteen people were killed in prolonged festivities between cattle thieves and local civilian militia in Zamfara.
In Adamawa, in the northeast, meanwhile, at least 12 people were killed in an attack on several villages.
The attacks underlined the diversity of Nigeria's security threats that persist in the absence of a robust police force and efficient judicial system.
Nigeria is in the grip of a security crisis as nomadic herders and sedentary farmers fight over land in an increasingly bloody battle for resources.
Rural communities in Zamfara have been under siege for several years from cattle rustlers and kidnapping gangs, who have raided herding communities, killing, looting and burning homes.
To defend themselves, villages and herdsmen form vigilante groups, but they too are often accused of extra-judicial killings, provoking a bloody cycle of retaliatory attacks.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has been criticised for failing to curb the violence, which is becoming a key election issue ahead of presidential polls in 2019.
Military and police are overstretched in Nigeria, which, along with fighting Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... jihadists in the north, is battling bully boyz and pirates in the oil-rich south, a simmering separatist movement in the east and the bloody conflict between herdsmen and farmers spanning the vast central region.

When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s Asir region with a ballistic missile and destroyed them, Yemen’s al-Masirah television said on Sunday.
A Zalzal 2 missile was fired at the Ain al-Thwareen base in retaliation for Saudi Arclight airstrikes, which hit its target and left an unknown number of casualties, it added.
Yemeni snipers also killed two Saudi troops at the Haskul military base in Jizan, while army artillery units pummeled the kingdom's military positions in the region, the report said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had been cornered by the banditti... Saudi warplanes bombed parts of Sa’ada, Hudaydah, and Hajjah provinces in northern Yemen.
In Sa’ada, five members of a family were killed after Saudi aircraft bombed a residence in the Baqim district.
Two more non-combatants were killed in Saudi air raids in al-Jarahi district in Hudaydah, while there was no immediate word on possible casualties in Hajjah which has been bombed 10 times over the past 24 hours.
Yemeni forces have stepped up their response to Saudi airstrikes with game-changer missile attacks which have become a major headache for the kingdom and its supporters.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Security Media Center has denied news over assassination of guards of a polling station and two security personnel in Baghdad.
In a press release, the center said, “we would like to deny news circulated by some media channels over assassination of guards of a polling station in al-Aadhamiya region, north of Baghdad.”
“News over assassination of an Iraqi army soldier and a personnel from al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces( in al-Hubaibiya region are also untrue,” it added.
The center urged “relying on official sources instead of circulating news that intimidate the Iraqi people.”
Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) – A bomb blast hit a market area in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, Sunday leaving two civilians killed and injured, a security source was quoted as saying.
“An explosive charge went off near busy street markets in al- Radwaniyah district in southwestern Baghdad, leaving an Iraqi civilian killed and another wounded,” Alghad Press quoted the source as saying.
“Ambulances rushed to the blast site and carried the dead body to the forensic medicine department, while the injured was moved to a nearby hospital for treatment,” the source pointed out.

"A force from the Counter-Terrorism Service raided the fisherman’s house in al-Nasiriyah district in Dhi Qar and took him to a detention center as he will face charges of manufacturing landmines that killed two schoolgirls and injured another earlier in the day," the source told Alghad Press.
"The three students were on their way to school when the landmine went kaboom!."
The suspect is believed to be "manufacturing the landmines to use them in his business," and not for terrorist attacks, the source noted. "He was referred to the authorities concerned to be interrogated," added the source.
Curious that fish-killing mines somehow ended up in the road on the way to school.

I'd love to see the Iraqis get their hands on that son of a bitch that blew up that car in front of that girls school while the kids were lining up for exam back in 2004.

Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) – Four Islamic State (IS) militants were killed Sunday in a shelling by pro-government forces of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) inside the Syrian territories, the troops’ media center was quoted as saying.
“The 28th brigade of al-Hashd al-Shaabi destroyed a hotbed of the Islamic State group at the eastern village of al-Dahhaj in Syria,” Knooz Media quoted the center as saying in a statement.

Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) – Iraqi warplanes launched on Sunday a new wave of air raids against outposts of the Islamic State group in neighboring Syria, the latest in a series of airstrikes aimed at eliminating a terrorist threat coming from the neighboring country.
Today’s air raids were launched upon directives of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi with the aim of targeting Islamic State leaders in the group’s stronghold of al-Deshisha on the Iraqi-Syrian border, Baghdad Today news website quoted Abadi’s media office as saying in a statement.
The second-of-its-kind airstrike was staged to eliminate a threat posed by Islamic State leaders against Iraq’s security and stability, according to the statement.
Last month, Spokesman for the Operation Inherent Resolve Combined Joint Task Force Army Col. Ryan Dillon praised successful air strikes launched by Iraq and U.S.-led international coalition against the Islamic State group in Syria.
Dillon, speaking from Baghdad, Iraq, shared a couple videos of airstrikes against the terrorist group while describing how Iraqi and coalition forces have detained suspected terrorists, destroyed IS tunnel systems, and destroyed IS weapons caches.

Abadi’s office said in a statement that the 66-year-old prime had ordered the "painful strike" which targeted "a meeting of ISIS commanders south of al-Dushashiya desert region in Syrian territory. The position was completely destroyed."
Iraqi Joint Operations Command (JOC) front man Brigadier General Yahya Rasool later stated that F-16 fighter jets were used in the early morning strike, and the raid was "successful."
