Sources and the Taliban last week confirmed the release of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who they said was now back with his family in Karachi after spending eight years in prison.
Sources said last week that Baradar was released after the intervention of Zalmay Khalilzad, US Special Representative for Afghanistan’s Reconciliation, who visited Kabul twice this month to discuss peace talks with Afghan leaders.
Baradar is a co-founder of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. He was Mullah Mohammed Omar, the founding leader of the Taliban’s deputy. Omar’s death was confirmed in October 2016.
Baradar was captured in Pakistan by a team of Pakistan’s intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and US’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officers in February 2010.
[PRESSTV] 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... has rejected The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's calls on the kingdom to extradite 18 Saudis wanted for the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi as international outrage mounts over the killing.
The outright rebuff by Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir on Saturday came a day after President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... renewed his call for the 18 men to be extradited for trial in Turkey.
"The individuals are Saudi nationals. They're detained in Saudi Arabia, and the investigation is in Saudi Arabia, and they will be prosecuted in Saudi Arabia," Jubair told a regional security forum in Bahrain.
Saudi authorities say they have nabbed Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! the men following the international furor over Khashoggi's murder, which was reportedly carried out in the consulate by a team which flew to Istanbul.
Ottoman Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul said on Friday that Istanbul's chief prosecutor had formally written the request for their extradition.
"The Ottoman Turkish authorities are determined and able to solve this case. We expect the extradition," he said in a statement, adding that the suspects would be tried on charges of premeditated murder and torture.
A senior Ottoman Turkish official said "the reasoning behind the extradition request is that Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in Turkey by Saudi nationals who traveled to Turkey for this specific purpose."
But the Saudi foreign minister said the kingdom would carry out any investigation on its own.
"The issue, as I said, is being investigated. We will know the truth. We will hold those responsible accountable. And we will put in place mechanisms to ensure it doesn't happen again," Jubeir said.

[PRESSTV] Oman says it will not act as a "mediator" between Israelis and Paleostinians, playing down an earlier visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The sultanate was only offering ideas to help Israel and Paleostinians to come together, Omani Foreign Minister Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah told a security summit in Bahrain’s capital Manama on Saturday.
The remarks came a day after Netanyahu visited Oman in a rare visit, while accompanied by other senior Israeli officials, including the head of the Israeli spy agency Mossad.
"We are not saying road is now easy and paved with flowers, but our priority is to put an end to the conflict and move to a new world," Rooters cited Abdullah as saying.
Despite apparently trying to sound impartial, Abdullah said Oman relied on the United States and efforts by 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... in working towards the "deal of the century."
The Trump administration has targeted the plan at the situation in the Paleostinian territories.
Details are yet to emerge, but reports say it envisages a Paleostinian state with limited illusory sovereignty across about half of Israel-occupied West Bank and all the Gazoo Strip. The deal also reportedly foresees potential disarming of the Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, and does not find Paleostinians entitled to the eastern part of Jerusalem al-Quds as their capital.

[PRESSTV] Yemen’s 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 ... Ansarullah movement has criticized the Sultanate of Oman for welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his unannounced visit to the Persian Gulf Arab country.
Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the president of the Houthi Supreme Revolutionary Committee (SRC), made the remarks in a tweet on Saturday, adding that the real goal of the Israeli premier’s trip to Muscat "is to isolate Oman from playing any positive role in the future with its allies and friends."
He added that Muscat should learn "a lesson" from the governments of those Moslem countries that "normalized ties with Israel but lost their nation" as the condemned relations with Tel Aviv created deep rifts between them and their people.
Netanyahu, along with a delegation, including Yossi Cohen, the director of the Mossad spy agency, and National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat, arrived in Muscat on Thursday night and flew back to the occupied Paleostinian territories later on Friday, making it the first such meeting in over 20 years.
A joint statement by Netanyahu and Oman’s ruler Sultan Qaboos said the two sides "discussed ways to advance" the so-called Middle East grinding of the peace processor and "a number of issues of mutual interest to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East."

[Dhaka Tribune] Jatiya Oikya Front leader and President of Gono Forum, Dr Kamal Hossain, said on Saturday that the government will be held accountable for violating the constitution daily.
"Concede to our seven-point demand while there is still time. You [government] can’t even imagine the trial and punishment you will face if the demands are not met," said Dr Kamal ‐ one of the architects of the Constitution.
He was addressing a rally at Kazir Dewri area in Chittagong.
Jatiya Oikya Front's seven-point charter of demands includes holding the 11th general election under an impartial government, release of BNP chief Khaleda and other political prisoners from prison, dissolution of parliament before the announcement of an election schedule, resignation of the government, no electronic voting machines in the polls, and reformation of the Election Commission.
Dr Kamal said the Oikya Front had been repeatedly denied permission for its rallies, and both in Sylhet and Chittagong, the government had moved them to smaller venues.
"The government has been violating the Constitution on a daily basis. Holding a rally is a fundamental right, which is guaranteed by the Constitution.
"We wanted to hold the rally at Laldighi Maidan in Chittagong. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... we were denied permission and have been forced to hold the rally in such a cramped space," said Dr Kamal at the rally.
He warned those violating people's fundamental rights, saying they must face trial.
Speaking at a rally arranged by Oikya Front in front of the BNP office he said: "If you violate or ignore the people’s decision, you can’t even imagine the punishment you will get for it."
He went on to say: "People are the owners of this state and the government is nothing but a servant of the people. They have taken it for granted that state power is their ancestral property. They are considering themselves as owners of the country. That's why they are clinging to power. People can make the impossible possible if they are united."

[Dhaka Tribune] UK radical preacher Anjem Choudary ...Self-proclaimed holy man who used to work for Omar Mohammed Bakdri as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun. Anjem is a loathesome little attention prostitute who is to be heard cheering for the home team anytime anybody with a turban manages to slaughter a group of unarmed infidels. Anjem was born in the UK in 1967 and is, as you would expect, of Pakistaini descent. The Ghost of Dante is of the opinion that when he goes to hell his knees will be broken once a month. He is currently in jug for supporting the Islamic State.. has finally been released from prison after serving less than half of his five-and-a-half-year sentence due to time spent on bail and electronic tag supervision.
While in prison, Choudary refused to participate in any de-radicalization program or speak to mainstream Islamic holy mans, so we can assume his views have not been rehabilitated. This bizarre situation will now pose a headache for the UK authorities who will have to closely monitor his behaviour and interactions, less he resorts to his former conduct of encouraging support for ISIS and other holy warrior organizations.
But how did Choudary find himself with so much power and influence over the minds of so many young Moslems? And how did any of them get to the point of committing terror attacks? The tragic fact of the matter is that the media made Choudary. And in doing so, they did more to help promote extremism than most other forces which conspire against our safety.
Choudary has never been a holy man or holy man. He has no Islamic credentials -- to be a holy man one needs over a decade of formal study of the Qur’an, and be recognized as an authority by other scholars.
He has never been taken seriously by the mainstream Moslem community in Britannia, and has been expelled out of virtually every mosque in the country.
What Choudary did have, however, was a quick tongue and a fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... demeanour. And he loved wearing traditional Islamic robes reserved for the scholarly class. All he needed to qualify him as the go-to "Moslem preacher" when a sensationalist publication or broadcast were looking for an "interesting character" to give their news stories or their angle on the Moslem community in Britannia a bit of edginess.
The price for that "journalistic edge" was to give this opportunistic spiv a veneer of popularity, which helped him ensnare a cohort of weak-minded, troubled individuals to his hateful vision of the world.

[PJ] Only about 1700 of the estimated 7,000 Central American refugees in a caravan heading to the U.S. border have accepted an offer from the Mexican government for asylum. The rest, now about 1,000 miles from the U.S. border, are continuing on their way.
The Mexican offer of asylum seems fairly substantial.
[DAWN] An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Gujranwala on Saturday handed Abid Hussain, the main accused in the Ahsan Iqbal liquidation case, 30 years and two months in prison while acquitting four others accused of facilitating him, DawnNewsTV reported.
Judge Syed Ali Imran also handed fines to the tune of Rs280,000 and ordered the convict's assets to be confiscated.
Former interior minister Ahsan Iqbal had been shot at and injured during a corner meeting in Kanjrur town in Narowal on May 6, 2018, in what had been described as an liquidation attempt.
District Police Officer (DPO) Imran Kishwar had told DawnNewsTV at the time that Iqbal was shot by the assailant ─ who was also present at the corner meeting ─ with a 30-bore pistol from a distance of 20 yards.
Iqbal had sustained a bullet wound in his right shoulder, the DPO had added.
Thankfully, the people standing around the assailant overpowered him before he could fire a second shot at his target. The coppers present at the site then locked away I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! the suspect, seized his weapon and shifted him to a cop shoppe.
The interior minister was initially shifted to District Headquarters Hospital Narowal following the attack, but was later airlifted in a helicopter to Lahore where he received further medical treatment.
The suspected shooter had been immediately taken into custody. At the time, he was identified as a local 20 to 22-year-old youth residing in the jurisdiction of the Shah Gharib cop shoppe in Kanjrur tehsil.
It later emerged that the suspect had had a declared affiliation with the Tehrik-e-Labbaik.
In a preliminary report sent to the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... chief secretary hours after the attack, the Narowal deputy commissioner had reported that the suspect had identified himself as Abid Hussain, son of Mohammad Hussain, a resident of Verum village, Tehsil Shakargarh of Narowal district.

[DAWN] Warning that the situation in Indian Kashmiree was worsening beyond control in the wake of unprecedented atrocities by Indian forces, leaders of various armed Kashmiri separatist groups on Saturday called on Islamabad to extend them "full military support".
"India’s entire leadership and institutions are unanimous in their nefarious designs to annihilate the Kashmiris and their economy [...] Their brutalities and bloodlust is unprecedented in history and the situation is getting out of control," observed Syed Salahuddin ...the aging, morbidly obese chief of Hizbul Mujaheddin and the titular head of the United Jihad Council in idyllic Kashmire. Originally owned body and theoretical soul by Jamaat-e-Islami he and his organization are currently controlled by Pakistain's ISI. Salahuddin's hobbies include crocheting doilies shaped like the Taj Mahal, combing his enormous beard, and eating.... , head of the United Jihad Council (UJC), at a presser at Muzaffarabad's Central Press Club.
The UJC brings together around a dozen groups fighting the Indian occupation of Kashmire, of which Salahuddin’s Hizbul Mujahideen ...Party of Holy Warriors, founded by Muhammad Ahsan Dar in September 1989. One of the Pak sock puppets waging jihad in Indian Kashmir. It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir. After the organization was taken over by Syed Salahuddin Dar and several other ex-Hizb leaders were assassinated between 2001 and 2003... is the largest constituent.
Leaders of almost all member outfits accompanied Salahuddin at the presser, which coincided with the observance of a ’Black Day’ to condemn India’s invasion of Jammu and Kashmire on this day in 1947.
Salahuddin warned that "a grave human tragedy" was in the making in Indian Kashmiree and added that the Government of Pakistain should announce full military support for Kashmiris "without wasting even a second."
"Please do not leave the Kashmiris at the mercy of 800,000 savage troops [...] After all, they [Kashmiris] too are human beings and may run out of patience anytime," he said.
He regretted that Pak leadership was "begging" for talks notwithstanding India’s "intransigence, haughtiness and jingoism".
"There does not arise any question of a peaceful negotiated settlement of the longstanding [Kashmire] issue in the presence of such an attitude and atmosphere in India," he said, asking Prime Minister Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems... and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi to "hear the pleas of Kashmiris in their hearts."
He pointed out that Pakistain had held "more than 150 rounds of talks" with India in the past, but had gained "nothing except damage to the Kashmire cause".
"We feel so much pain when we see Pak rulers pinning hopes on talks. I wonder: Why are they following the beaten track?" he said.
"If we could not judge them [India] over the past seven decades, it’s a grave mistake on our part," he said.
Salahuddin noted that despite the "criminal silence" of international institutions and the weak policies of governments in the ’base camp’ (Azad Jammu & Kashmire), Kashmiris were "fighting the tyrant army with stones and sticks".
"But for how long? Isn’t it high time Pakistain extends us full military support?" he said.
He maintained that since Pakistain was the basic party to the dispute, it was her moral, constitutional and national responsibility to extend full support to the struggling Kashmiris.

[IsraelTimes] Israeli security cabinet set to convene Sunday for a briefing on the situation in Gazoo after weekend marked by salvos of rockets, IAF responses
Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", on Saturday demanded that Israel transfer the Gazoo-based terror group $15 million in cash from Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... every month in order to prevent further escalation in the Paleostinian enclave.
In a document handed to Egypt, the terror group’s Gazoo leader Yahya Sinwar added that the organization expects Israel to transfer the money by next Thursday, Hadashot TV reported.
According to the news station, the demand for cash is intended to circumvent the Israeli coordination and supervision mechanism that was in place until now, according to which the Paleostinian Authority would pay Gazoo worker salaries transparently.
Israel has not yet responded to the Hamas demand.
The Israeli security cabinet is set to convene Sunday for a briefing on the situation in Gazoo, as well as on the efforts being made by Egypt to broker a ceasefire between the Jewish state and Hamas.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman met with IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and other top security officials on Saturday.
A few hours after Islamic Jihad announced the ceasefire, the Eshkol Regional Council lifted orders that residents must remain in close proximity to bomb shelters.
Restrictions remained in place, however, limiting gatherings outdoors to 100 people and those indoors to 500.
The declaration by Islamic Jihad to end the rocket fire came as the Israel Defense Forces said fighter jets struck eight targets tied to the Iran-backed terror group in three separate military facilities after Israel was hit by salvos of rockets from Gazoo overnight and on Saturday morning.
The Gazoo targets included weapons production sites and a factory that makes parts for subterranean tunnels, the army said, adding that the later was near a school.
The top IDF spokesperson earlier blamed Iran and Syria for the Islamic Jihad rocket attacks. Though he did not accuse Hamas of taking part in the launches, Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis reiterated that Israel considers the terror group responsible as Gazoo’s rulers.
Another IDF front man, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, said the rocket strikes were ordered by operatives from the overseas branch of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stationed in Syria and warned Israel may not limit its response to Gazoo.
"From our perspective, part of the address by which we will deal with this fire is also in Damascus and the Quds Force," he said. "Our response is not limited geographically."

OF course then they would split off a 'spliter' groups, of which has 90% of their membership and they 'cannot control' - but you still have to pay them money because the 10% which are left are 'peaceful' (and only drive weapons trucks ambulances)...
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Israeli army accused the Syrian government Saturday of instructing a Paleostinian krazed killer group to fire dozens of rockets at Israel from Gazoo with Iran's support and vowed to respond.
"The rockets that were launched against Israel... we know that the orders, incentives were given from Damascus with the clear involvement of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force," army front man Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus said referring to the Guards' foreign operations unit.
Conricus told news hounds Israel's response "is not limited geographically."
Israeli aircraft have struck dozens of "militant sites" across the Gazoo Strip as Paleostinians fired some 30 rockets into Israel in the heaviest exchange of fire between the bitter enemies in several weeks.
The fighting early Saturday followed a bloody day of border protests, in which Israeli forces shot and killed four Paleostinians protesting along the perimeter fence dividing Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,-ruled Gazoo and Israel.
The sudden burst of fighting and bloodshed complicated the mission of Egyptian mediators, who have intensified shuttle diplomacy to achieve calm and prevent a full-blown conflict between Hamas and Israel.
The Israeli military said it had struck some 80 sites across Gazoo by early Saturday morning, including a security headquarters building.

[PRESSTV] The Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... resistance movement says it has agreed with Egyptian mediators to stop firing rockets from the Gazoo Strip into the Israeli-occupied territories and restore calm in the besieged coastal enclave.
"After contacts between the Islamic Jihad leadership and the brothers in Egypt, it was agreed that a comprehensive ceasefire will begin immediately," the movement’s front man Dawood Shihab said in a press statement released on Saturday.
He added, "The Islamic Jihad will abide by the ceasefire if the occupation (Israel) does the same."
Earlier, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, al-Quds Brigades, said it had fired dozens of rockets from Gazoo into communities in the southern sector of the occupied territories in retaliation for Israel's killing and injuring a number of Paleostinian protesters on Friday.
It said in a statement "fire for fire and blood for blood," adding, "if the Zionist enemy wants to expand the circle of fire, we are ready to do so and ready to protect our people."
In response, Israeli fighter jets carried out intensive Arclight airstrikes on military facilities, training posts and buildings, which belonged to Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and the Islamic Jihad, all over the Gazoo Strip.

My patience is wearing very thing.
An army of strawmen, a false narrative, and a meme. You can steal Israel from the Jews. ??
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The leaders of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... , Russia, La Belle France and Germany on Saturday called for a ceasefire around the last major rebel-held bastion of Idlib in Syria to be preserved.
The four nations "stressed the importance of a lasting ceasefire" according to a statement read at the end of an Istanbul summit by Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... , and also called for a committee to be established to draft a new constitution for Syria before the end of the year, "paving the way for free and fair elections".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslems .. said a solution to the Syria crisis cannot simply be military and must include a political process under the auspices of the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... that envisages free elections as a goal.
"At the end of this political process, there must be free elections to which all Syrians have access - including the diaspora," Merkel told a news conference in Istanbul where she met the leaders of Turkey, Russia and La Belle France.
MAJOR REBEL STRONGHOLD
The four leaders of gathered in Istanbul on Saturday for a summit on Syria, where violence this week in the last remaining major rebel stronghold highlighted the fragility of a deal to avert a massive government offensive.
Ankara, which has long backed rebels seeking to overthrow Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators... , and Moscow, Assad’s principal foreign ally, brokered the deal last month to create a demilitarized zone in the northwest Idlib region.
Idlib and adjacent areas are the last stronghold of the rebels, who rose up against Assad in 2011. The area is home to an estimated 3 million people, more than half of whom have already fled other areas as government forces advanced.
