He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship.

[IsraelTimes] Two soldiers have been killed when suspected 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... fighters loyal to factional leader Abubakar Shekau ... the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who has been reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down ... attacked a military base in northeast Nigeria ... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... , security sources tell AFP.
The twin gun and suicide kabooms happened early Saturday evening at Gulumba village, in the Bama district of Borno state.
The use of human bombs is a hallmark of the Shekau faction, which is known to operate in the area. Last month, Shekau released a video claiming attacks against troops in Gulumba.
"We lost two soldiers and two more were maimed in the attack by the Shekau faction," says one military source.
"The faceless myrmidons came in nine gun trucks with a jacket wallah at about 5:50 pm (1650 GMT) and attacked the base."
A second source says the suicide bomber tried to infiltrate the base but was "neutralized" by troops. He also says two soldiers were killed and two others were maimed.
"The faceless myrmidons faced stiff resistance and were forced to withdraw," he adds.
Neither source wanted to be identified as they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Attacks by fighters loyal to Shekau have reduced considerably in recent months, which sources attribute to the firebrand ...firebrands are noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments... leader’s ill health.
Instead, the IS-backed Boko Haram faction Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

West Africa Province (ISWAP) has been blamed or grabbed credit for a wave of attacks against the military since July.

Aventura police announced that they arrested Nadim Siddiqui, a 35-year-old from Hollywood for making threats to the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center and possibly other Jewish establishments.
Siddiqui became a "known nuisance in the area after a series of incidents many considered [antisemitic], such as tipping over menorahs and repeatedly trespassing at a Jewish market," according to the Miami Herald.
The arrest was part of a "coordinated investigation" involving local agencies, the State Attorney’s Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI’s Miami bureau, the newspaper reported.
The arrest warrant includes enhanced charges for hate crimes, the ABC affiliate Local 10 News, reported.
Siddiqui has been arrested several times by Aventura police in the last few weeks, the Miami Herald reported.
He entered a kosher grocery store and damaged merchandise twice in October, including smashing a bottle of wine on the floor and throwing an egg from the store at its front window. On December 4th, he damaged a menorah in the lobby of a building in Aventura, according to Local 10 News.
The Miami Herald names him as Nadim Benjamin Siddiqui and has a photo. Patch reports that he is unemployed and lives on the 2200 block of Mckinley Street in Hollywood, Forida.

[DAWN] Indian troops killed three suspected Kashmiri fighters in the outskirts of occupied Kashmire's main city, ending a nearly 18-hour-long gunbattle, officials said on Sunday.
Indian paramilitary front man Sanjay Sharma said the three fighters were killed on Sunday in the outskirts of Srinagar. Two police officials and a soldier were maimed, he said.
Sharma said Indian troops had laid a siege around a neighborhood on Saturday on a tip that fighters were hiding there.
The fighting sparked anti-India protests and festivities as residents tried to march to the site of the battle in solidarity with the fighters.
Indian forces fired warning shots, shotgun pellets and tear gas at the stone-throwing protesters. No one was immediately reported injured.
Residents said Indian forces blew up at least five houses with explosives during the fighting, a common tactic employed by Indian troops in occupied Kashmire.

[Rudaw] Kurdish security forces (Asayesh) announced Saturday they have captured a group of ISIS turbans that was allegedly plotting attacks in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... Diyala, and the Kurdistan Region.
Two prominent ISIS suspects were apprehended in an operation on September 9, leading to the capture of several more suspects, Sulaimani Asayesh said in a statement.
"After the increase of ISIS movements in Kirkuk and Diyala provinces, the Kurdistan Region Security Agency/Sulaimani Asayesh started to build a strong military fence and formed a joint investigating and follow-up center to monitor the security situation of Sulaimani and other cities and towns of the Kurdistan Region," the statement read.
ISIS turbans had reorganized themselves outside the borders of the Kurdistan Region and were plotting to send attackers and jacket wallahs into the Region, Kirkuk, and Diyala outlying areas, it said.
"The Sulaimani Asayesh continued its follow-ups and thus obtained more precise information on the influential terrorist Haji Masab who was leading the group of ISIS jihadists," the statement read.
"The group had created a wide network of bandidosfaceless myrmidons in Kirkuk and Diyala supervised by both bandidosfaceless myrmidons Abu Huraira and Abu Mujahid."
"Together with Abu Fatih and Abu Saif, they were bringing bandidosfaceless myrmidons from other parts of Iraq to Kirkuk and Diyala in order to destabilize their security," it added.
Sulaimani security forces were ordered to track down the desperados ‐ capturing two of them when they entered the Kurdistan Region.
"They were captured in an ambush," said Sulaimani Asayesh.
With their arrest, security forces were able to glean further intelligence, leading to the arrest of more suspects accused of plotting attacks in Sulaimani.
"With continued monitoring and more precise investigation of new ISIS plots, stronger plans were set up to deter any plots to destabilize the security of the Kurdistan Region. ISIS sleeper cells present in the Kurdistan Region were also discovered and were tossed in the calaboose Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! in some raids," it said.
"Some other suspects, mercenaries and smugglers who had been directly and indirectly involved in assisting the ISIS bandidosfaceless myrmidons were also captured."
The Kurdistan Region has been largely spared the kind of attacks, bombings and kidnappings taking place in Kirkuk, Diyala, Saladin, Anbar and Nineveh.

[Jpost] The IDF issued a warning on Sunday to Lebanese citizens to "temporarily leave" homes standing on top of cross-border attack tunnels built by Hezbollah, as troops began operating beyond the border fence.
"Hezbollah built terror tunnels under Kfar Kila and Ramiyeh that infiltrate into Israeli territory, making the area a barrel of explosives," read a Twitter post by the IDF’s spokesperson for Arabic media, Maj. Avichay Adraee. "We are determined to neutralize these tunnels, and we do not know the outcome of these actions on the relevant buildings on the Lebanese side.
"Is it not time for you to insist that Hezbollah give you clear answers?," he continued. "Are you living in safety when you know that your houses are located above a barrel of explosives? We recommend that you thoroughly consider temporarily leaving the relevant buildings for your safety."
Adraee wrote the warning days after Israel found three cross-border attack tunnels built from the Shi’ite villages of Kfar Kila and Ramiyeh in southern Leb. The IDF says the tunnels are under its full control, and have been filled with explosives pending their demolitions.
On Sunday, the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar website said that the Lebanese army reinforced units deployed to the border with additional vehicles and artillery, to "prevent the Zionist army from putting demarcation marks on the Blue Line. The Lebanese army rejected the Zionist move during the absence of Leb’s topographic units, forcing the enemy troops to plant wedges 10 meters away from the Blue Line off Mays al-Jabal town," the report said.
Dozens of Hezbollah tunnels are believed to have been dug along the 130-kilometer border between the two countries, and the IDF said the operation to locate and destroy these tunnels, dubbed "Northern Shield," would take weeks or months to complete.
On Friday, the IDF fired warning shots at three Hezbollah holy warriors dressed in civilian clothing attempting to approach the border area where the IDF was carrying out tunnel excavation work. According to the military, the three men ‐ who fled back to Leb after IDF troops opened fire ‐ took advantage of bad weather to steal IDF equipment deployed to uncover the tunnels.
Leb said that IDF troops opened fire on a "Lebanese army patrol near the Blue Line in Kroum al-Sharaqi region to the east of Meis al-Jabal village because of heavy fog in the area."
Later Saturday evening, Leb’s NNA reported that 25 Israeli troops had crossed the technical fence separating Israel and Leb but not the Blue Line. Lebanese troops and UNIFIL Peacekeepers were reportedly monitoring the situation from the Lebanese side.
Friday’s incident took place in one of the many enclaves beyond Israel’s security fence with Leb, but still inside the Blue Line which marks the demarcation line between the two countries.
These areas, which are not covered by Israel’s fence with Leb due to the uneven terrain, have been previously neglected by Israel, and a Hezbollah ambush of an IDF patrol in the area led to the Second Leb War in 2006. Israel has since increased its presence in those areas, fortifying the fence and clearing away brush to allow for clearer observation.
While the IDF said that it only plans to operate against the Hezbollah attack tunnels on the Israeli side of the border, Leb fears that Israel will not be bound by that limitation and will also operate against the tunnels in southern Leb.
Despite the tensions along the border, UNIFIL front man Andrea Tenenti said no violation of the Blue Line has been recorded, and that the situation remains calm with UN peacekeepers present on the ground to monitor the situation and maintain stability.

Nerve agents can be finicky and hard to handle. Just ask the Brits Russians. I suggest flooding the tunnels with natural gas. Everyone loves an earth-shattering kaboom.

[AlAhram] Iranian security forces have detained 10 people suspected of links to a suicide car kaboom this week that killed at least two coppers, police chief Hossein Ashtari said on Sunday.
"Good clues have been obtained and hopefully with the public’s cooperation ... we will get to the main leads," Ashtari was quoted by the state news agency IRNA as saying.
More suspects have been identified and are being sought, Ashtari added.
At least 48 people were also injured in Thursday’s suicide car kaboom by a Sunni murderous Moslem group on a police headquarters in the port city of Chabahar in southeast Iran, according to state media.
While suicide kabooms are rare in Iran, Sunni murderous Moslem groups have carried out several attacks on security forces in recent years in Sistan-Baluchestan province, where Chabahar is located.
The province is home to a Sunni minority in the largely Shi’ite country, and it has also long been plagued by violence from both drug smugglers and separatists.
The U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group and Iranian state media reported that Sunni Baluch murderous Moslem group Ansar al-Furqan
...the Sunni Arab jihadi/separatist group based along the Iranian border with Pakistan’s Baluchistan province. It’s been a thorn in the Iranian side for the past quarter century...
had grabbed credit for the attack.
Tehran accuses its Sunni-led regional rival 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... and its arch-enemy, the United States, of funding Sunni murderous Moslems, a charge Riyadh and Washington deny.
Iran has threatened to hit murderous Moslem bases in neighboring Pakistain unless Islamabad took action to secure its border area, which Tehran says has become a safe haven for anti-Iran groups to operate.
[Rudaw] Mines and booby traps have slowed advances by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into eastern Syria's Deir ez-Zor, but the US-led international coalition's partnered ground force reportedly now controls more than half of Hajin town following intense fighting.
The SDF are advancing on two fronts ‐ Baghuz and Hajin ‐ the local force announced in a statement on Sunday.
"In the evening, engagements continued on several points in this front, where the terrorist organization tried to regain the points and areas that they lost, and due to that [a] number of bad boyz were potted," read the SDF statement on the Baghuz advance.
The forces advanced a kilometer and have established more than a dozen defensive positions. The SDF have faced a number of ISIS counterattacks in the fight for Hajin.
Additionally, "the engineering units of our forces dismantled a number of mines that [were] laid by terrorists."
On the Hajin axis, the SDF "launched a violent attack on the terrorists’ positions and fortifications." Progress was described as "good."
The forces also had to detonate or dismantle mines and booby traps left by ISIS. SDF has established nearly three dozen defensive positions, according to its statement.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights detailed that the SDF force is comprised of Jaish al-Thuwar (an Arab force), Jabhat al-Akrad (a Kurdish force), al-Shaitat (an Arab force), and the Deir ez-Zor and Manbij Military Councils (mixed forces).
There was no direct mention of the predominately Kurdish Peoples' Protection Units (YPG) participating in the fight, although the group has been allied with the other forces under the SDF umbrella throughout the ISIS conflict in northeast Syria.
The UK-based monitor added that the SDF now controls 70 percent of Hajin following the festivities. It also reported "intensive mines" left by ISIS.
In late October and November the US-led international coalition was reportedly unable to fully provide air support because of poor weather conditions.
The Observatory said coalition war planes conducted bombardments on Saturday morning.
The SDF's Operation Roundup began on May 1 with the goal of clearing ISIS from east of the Euphrates.
