An official from the Misrata port customs said it had "managed to seize a shipment of weapons containing Ottoman Turkish pistols inside a container with some household items and children’s toys used as camouflage," in a move that marks a violation of the UN resolution banning the sale and transfer of arms to Libya.
The shipment contained 556 cartons, each containing 36 pistols, which is equivalent to about 20,000 pistols, officials noted, failing to give information on the sender or recipients.

[Rudaw] Police in The Hague jugged Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! four people after objects were thrown at Iran's embassy late on Wednesday.
Protestors threw beer bottles at the mission, the Dutch daily De Telegraaf has reported. The newspaper also published video of people climbing the embassy's walls before being detained by Dutch law enforcement.
The demonstrators did not have a permit from the mayor and shouted "Iranian terrorist regime." They are reportedly planning another demonstration on Saturday.
The protests come after the Dutch government accused Iran of hiring hit men to murder two people after the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... sanctioned Tehran on Tuesday for allegedly plotting liquidations across the continent.
The Dutch secret service "has strong indications that Iran was involved in the liquidations of two Dutch nationals of Iranian origin in Almere 2015 and in The Hague in 2017," Foreign Minister Stef Blok wrote in a letter to parliament released on Tuesday.
Ali Motamed, 56, who was killed in Almere in 2015, and Ahmad Molla Nissi, 52, murdered in The Hague in 2017, were the victims.
"These individuals were opponents of the Iranian regime," read the letter that was co-signed by Interior Minister Kajsa Ollongren.
One of the arrested individuals was reportedly the son of Nissi, a leader in the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz (ASMLA).
Tehran lists the group as a terrorist organization. ASMLA is based in oil-rich Khuzestan and advocates for a separate Arab state from Iran.
In June, the Netherlands kicked out two Iranian embassy employees for ties to the murders.
Copenhagen has also argued for sanctions against Tehran, claiming Iran plotted to kill three Iranian dissidents on Danish soil.
La Belle France also has frozen the assets of two suspected Iranian agents. They allegedly planned to bomb the National Council of Resistance or Iran (NCRI) near the capital in October.

[IsraelTimes] Muhammad Jamal Rashdeh, 31, also targeted US consulate, Canadian security officials; in separate case, court approves 18-year sentence for Paleostinian in Jerusalem murder
An East Jerusalem man suspected of planning to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat last year on orders from a Syria-based terrorist group was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison.
Muhammad Jamal Rashdeh, a 31-year-old Arab Israeli, was tossed in the calaboose I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! on April 24 and charged on May 27 with terror offenses. In a plea deal, he was convicted of conspiracy to aid the enemy in wartime, preparing to carry out deadly terror attacks, spying, and conspiracy to commit murder.
Two other suspects have also been arrested and charged in connection with the case, the Shin Bet said at the time. The security service has refused to identify the two suspected accomplices.
"Working on orders from terrorist operatives abroad, Muhammad planned to carry out a number of significant terror attacks against a variety of targets," the security service said.
The targets included Netanyahu and Barkat, as well as buildings belonging to the US consulate in Jerusalem (which has since been converted into an embassy) and a delegation of Canadian security officials who were in Jerusalem to train Paleostinian Authority security forces in the West Bank, the Shin Bet said.
In June, the Israel Police released footage of Rashdeh’s arrest in the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, where he lived.
A Shin Bet spokesperson said Rashdeh received his orders from members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine ‐ General Command (PFLP-GC), a Syria-based terrorist group that fights alongside Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.
In order to carry out the attacks, Rashdeh and his accomplices planned to bring in an additional terrorist operative from Jordan, the Shin Bet said. According to the security service, Rashdeh had already begun collecting intelligence about his targets.
The PFLP-GC ‐ not to be confused with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, which it split off from in 1968 ‐ was responsible for a number of vicious terror attacks in Israel in the 1970s and 1980s, including one against a schoolbus in northern Israel that killed nine children and three adults. The PFLP-GC largely went underground in the late 1980s, working behind the scenes with the Leb-based Hezbollah terror group, but it reemerged in 2011 with the outbreak of the Syrian civil war.
In a separate case, the Jerusalem district court on Thursday sentenced a Paleostinian man to 18 years in prison for stabbing a British student to death.
The court accepted a plea bargain signed last week in sentencing Jamil Tamimi. He killed 21-year-old British student Hannah Bladon on the Jerusalem light rail in April 2017, stabbing her multiple times before an off-duty policeman pulled the emergency brake and subdued him. Tamimi was 57 years old at the time. Tamimi’s defense team claimed he suffered from a mental illness, and the attack was not ideologically or politically motivated.
Bladon was an exchange student at Hebrew University from the University of Birmingham. Maurice Hirsch, her family’s representative, said he was disappointed her killer would not be serving a life sentence for his crime. But he added that "no sentence would have been able to return Hannah."
As part of the plea bargain, Tamimi will not serve a life sentence, and has admitted to his guilt while being exempted from paying Bladon’s family financial compensation. Prosecuting attorney Sagiv Ozeri told the Kan public broadcaster last week that Bladon was not killed in a terror attack and that medical experts said her attacker was mentally ill.
"This is a shocking murder, without any nationalist element, carried out by a mentally ill person," Ozeri said.
According to the indictment, Tamimi, who has a history of mental problems and had previously attempted suicide, had decided to carry out the April 14, 2017, stabbing attack after he called his sons that day and sought to visit them at the family’s home, but was rebuffed and told that the family wanted no contact with him, in part because he had been convicted of sexually abusing his daughter.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian and Russian forces have sent reinforcements to the Idlib province this week after the jihadist rebels took over almost all of the Idlib province from the Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels.
According to a new report from the Fars News Agency, the Syrian and Russian military convoys were dispatched the demilitarized zones along the provincial borders of the Hama and Idlib governorates.
"Field sources in northern Syria reported on Thursday that a Russian military convoy, consisting of several armored, military, engineering and personnel carrier vehicles, have been sent to the strategic village of Salba in the Southern parts of the town of Hayalin in Western Hama," the Fars News report said.
They added that the Syrian Army also sent several military convoys to northern Hama and southern Idlib, noting that over 250 forces of the Syrian Army’s fifth Division along with extensive military equipment, including 15 military vehicles and tens of trucks carrying weapons and equipment, were dispatched to the strategic town of al-Moshirfeh in the southeastern parts of the town of Abu Dali in southeastern Idlib.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The main jihadist alliance in Syria’s Idlib region reached a deal on Thursday ending days of deadly fighting with rival rebels and extending its influence over the whole rebel enclave, AFP reported.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Over, 1,500 gunnies from the Ottoman Turkish-backed National Liberation Front ...the Turkic paramilitaries intended to replace with their native jihadi ferocity all the highly trained Turkish soldiers Sultan Erdogan I the much beloved has jailed in the last few years for not worshipping the ground he walks upon. The Uighurs and so forth who did not join Al Nusra or ISIS seem to have ended up here... (NLF) have exited the southwestern countryside of the Idlib province, rebel activists claimed via social media.
According to the reports, the National Liberation Front withdrew approximately 1,700 gunnies from the Jabal Shashabo and al-Ghaab Plain fronts after they reached an agreement with the jihadist-led Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham group.
The agreement between the two rebel groups was made after Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham managed to capture several towns and villages near the al-Ghaab Plain and Jabal Shashabo fronts.
The National Liberation Front reportedly transferred its troops from southwestern Idlib to the Afrin region of northwestern Aleppo.
Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham is now working to capture two major cities in the Idlib province that are currently under the control of the National Liberation Front.
The two cities, Ariha and Ma’arat al-Nu’man, have been under the control of the National Liberation Front’s rebel factions since they were captured from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Furthermore, the Free Idlib Police will be transferring all of their forces from the Jabal Shashabo and al-Ghaab Plain regions of southwest Idlib to the Afrin region of northwestern Aleppo.
As a result of this disbandment, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham is now the "undisputed administrator" of the Idlib province.

[AlAhram] Blacklisted jihadist fighters tightened their grip over Syria’s last major rebel-held region on Thursday after nine days of battle with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... -backed groups, putting a deal to prevent a massive army assault on the area in jeopardy.
The northwest of Syria near the Ottoman Turkish border is the last part of the country still in the hands of fighters seeking to topple Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Horror of Homs... , but control has been divided between jihadist factions and other rebels backed by Turkey.
On Thursday Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a jihadist group listed as holy warriors by the United States, Turkey and others, forced factions from the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) to accept a peace deal recognizing civilian control by an HTS-backed administration.
The success of the jihadists in recent days raises doubt over the future of a deal agreed in September between Turkey and the Assad government’s main ally Russia to avert an army assault. The agreement requires banned jihadist groups to be expelled from a frontline buffer zone.
Much of the Idlib enclave is now controlled by HTS, which is spearheaded by the former Syrian offshoot of al Qaeda.
Under Thursday’s agreement, FSA groups accepted civilian control of some towns and villages by a body known as the Salvation Government which runs basic services in the city of Idlib and many towns that fall under HTS influence.
Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu acknowledged on Thursday it was not "so easy" to maintain the deal with Russia, but said so far it was being "implemented successfully".
"The radical groups have mounted an attack against the moderate opposition. And of course we are taking the necessary precautions," Cavusoglu said in an interview with broadcaster NTV.
A rebel official close to Turkey’s intelligence service said Ankara had played a key role in preventing the fighting from spreading further by pressing rebels to accept a deal.
HTS’s stranglehold over the area is raising fears among rebels and residents in the heavily populated province that Russian air strikes halted last year could resume.
The jihadists have allowed Ottoman Turkish troops to deploy along the front lines as the Russia-Turkey deal demanded, but have not pulled out of the area themselves.
"The complete control of (HTS) will be a pretext for the regime and the Russians to end the Idlib deal, and this is the coming danger," said Major Youssef Hamoud, front man for a Turkey-backed alliance of rebels called the National Army.
Some factions who fought against the jihadists under a different banner have now fled to an area under greater Ottoman Turkish influence nearby.
