Afghan Forces Retake Guzargah-e-Noor District of Baghlan
[ToloNews] Local officials of the northern province of Baghlan said on Saturday that the Afghan cops retook control of Guzargah-e-Noor district two days ago and cleared the district of Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
fighters. The district was under Taliban control for approximately five months, said local officials.

Local officials said the Afghan national flag replaced the Taliban’s white flag.

"The district was under Taliban control for at least five months, and, following the (provincial) military council’s advice, we retook the district two days ago. During the operation, army, police, and intelligence agency people helped us a lot," said Abdul Qadim Niazi, governor of Baghlan.

Mohammad Wais Samimi, commander of the Baghlan police, said that the district was cleared of Taliban during operations over the past few days.

"I want to congratulate the joint Afghan national security forces for taking back the district, based on military council instructions. The operation will be ongoing--we will share information with you later." said Samimi.

Samimi said that the Baghlan police will establish checkpoints in the district to prevent Taliban attacks.

A commander of the Afghan National Army (ANA), who participated in the operation, said: "In the winter, we persisted in our operations and retook Dahna-e-Ghori, Dand-e-Ghori and Guzargah-e Noor districts, and the operation will be ongoing."

The provincial council of Baghlan wants to keep pressure on the Taliban.

"The government flag is now seen in the Guzargah-e Noor district. People live without any concerns, and the district is under the control of the government. We want security in every part of Baghlan," said Mohammad Safdar Mohseni, head of the Baghlan provincial council.

Britain
London stabbing: Police shoot man after ‘terrorist-related' incident in Streatham, Update: another known wolf recently released early from prison
Khan's London
[NY Post] Police shot a man in south London Sunday after at least two people were stabbed in what officials called a "terrorist-related" attack.

"We believe there are two injured victims," London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement. "The circumstances are being assessed. The incident has been declared as terrorist-related."

The incident took place on Streatham High Road in the city's Streatham neighborhood around 2 p.m. local time, authorities said.

Eye-witnesses said passersby fled into stores and a nearby library for shelter when the unidentified man launched the attack.

"I saw a man with a machete and silver canisters on his chest being chased by what I assume was an undercover police officer ‐ as they were in civilian clothing," Gulled Bulhan, a 19-year-old student told Britain's Press Association. "The man was then shot. I think I heard three gunshots but I can't quite remember."

Video posted by the BBC shows the street flooded by emergency vehicles in the aftermath of the shooting, with officers ordering pedestrians to move back from the scene.

London’s Ambulance Service said "a number of resources" were sent to the scene, but the conditions of the alleged attacker and the victims were not currently available.

The incident comes in the wake of a Nov. 29 incident on the London Bridge where two people were killed in a stabbing attack by Usman Khan, who was shot dead by police during the incident.
Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail has the usual photos and video, though not a close up of the known wolf. One wonders how connected he will turn out to be...And then they mention another knifeman shot by police in Belgium who stabbed two people on Bevrijdingslaan in Ghent.
Update from Yahoo at 4:40 p.m., which is liveblogging with links:
One of the three stabbing victims is in a life-threatening condition, one is being treated for serious injuries in hospital and another is believed to have been discharged with minor injuries.

The suspect was wearing a fake bomb vest.

He has been named to The Telegraph as "knife obsessed" convicted terrorist Sudesh Amman, who was released from his previous conviction after serving half his sentence.

9:14PM Terrorist's "life goals" were to die in a terror attack
Alexis Boon, then head of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, said at the time of his conviction that Amman had a “fierce interest in violence and martyrdom”.

He explained: “His fascination with dying in the name of terrorism was clear in a notepad we recovered from his home. Amman had scrawled his ‘life goals’ in the notepad and top of the list, above family activities, was dying a martyr and going to ‘Jannah’ - the afterlife.

“It’s not clear how Amman became radicalised but it is apparent from his messages that it had been at least a year in development. Whatever the circumstances, this case is a reminder of the need to be vigilant to signs of radicalisation and report it.”

8:49PM Attacker named as Sudesh Amman
The Telegraph understands the attacker was a convicted terrorist called Sudesh Amman.

He was jailed in 2018 after admitting 13 terror offences and was described by police as "knife obsessed" and previously said he was "armed and ready" to carry out an attack.

The terrorist stockpiled a combat knife, air gun and black flag at his family home in London.

He was released halfway through his prison sentence.

He sent beheadings videos to his girlfriend and advised her to kill her "kuffar" parents.

Amman told her: "If you can't make a bomb because family, friends or spies are watching or suspecting you, take a knife, molotov, sound bombs or a car at night and attack the tourists (crusaders), police and soldiers of taghut, or western embassies in every country you are in this planet."

Amman was also found with a bomb-making manual.

8:46PM Attacker was very recently released from prison
Whitehall sources told The Telegraph's Charles Hymas: "He had been very recently released from prison. He had been in prison for a terrorist offence, possession and distribution of extremist material.

"He came out towards the end of January. He was under very strict licence terms. He was also under surveillance and that is what allowed the police to do their job so quickly. It meant that it could have been worse than it was had he not been under this surveillance.

"There were concerns about this individual when he was in prison - around things he was saying - but there were no powers available to any of the authorities to keep him behind bars.

"He had reached the automatic halfway point, halfway release point in his sentence and there was nothing that could be done to keep him locked behind bars."

It is thought he would not be caught by the Government's plans for longer sentences for terrorists and the worst violent and sex offenders, as his offence would not be sufficiently serious.

Government sources confirmed that this would now be reviewed with the prospect of tougher sentencing for terrorists who might not be directly involved in plots.

The source added: "This is why there need to be changes brought forward because the public will look at this case and say: 'Why was this individual not kept not kept behind bars?' The PM shares that view."

8:37PM Boris Johnson: Terror policy to change after attack
Boris Johnson has said he will announce plans on Monday for "fundamental changes to the system for dealing with those convicted of terrorism offences" following the terror-related incident in south London.

"Following the awful events at Fishmonger's Hall in December, we have moved quickly to introduce a package of measures to strengthen every element of our response to terrorism - including longer prison sentences and more money for the police.

"Tomorrow, we will announce further plans for fundamental changes to the system for dealing with those convicted of terrorism offences."

#3  Known wolf under active police surveillance, according to Breitbart

Security sources have told Sky News they believe the attack was “Islamist” in nature, and he is believed to have been under active surveillance by police when he struck — which perhaps explains why their response to the attacks was so rapid, relatively speaking.

France arrests Syrian Islamist on war crimes charges
[AlAhram] A senior member of Syrian Islamist gang Jaish al-Islam
...Liwa al-Islam (Brigade of Islam) was established by Zahran Alloush, the son of Saudi-based religious scholar Abdullah Mohammed Alloush, after Syrian authorities released him from prison in mid-2011 where he had been serving time for his Salafist activism. The group claimed responsibility for carrying out the July 2012 Damascus bombing that killed Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, Deputy Defense Minister Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani. It was a driving force behind actions in the Damascus region. It cooperated and conducted joint operations with al-Nusra. In September 2013 Saudi Arabia engineered Liwa al-Islam's merger with fifty other more or less Salafist groups as a counterweight to al-Nusra, which the Learned Elders of Islam considered was growing too powerful...

Iranian man charged with laundering more than $115 mln to Iran, lying to FBI
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] An Iranian national has been charged with fraud and lying to US federal agents about laundering more than $115 million to individuals and entities in Iran, according to a US Department of Justice report.

Bahram Karimi, a 53-year-old in Canada, was charged for his involvement in a joint project by the Iranian and Venezuela
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prosperous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeds places like Honduras and El Salvador, and a significant proportion of the populace as refugeed to Colombia and points south...
n government that was reportedly initiated to build a 7,000 housing unit in Venezuela.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is accusing Karimi of working with others "to defraud US banks by concealing the role of Iranian parties in US dollar payments sent through the US banking system," the report stated.

A Venezuelan company was used to launder money to two "front companies" in Iran, in an attempt to surpass US sanctions.

According to the report, approximately 15 payments were funneled to the Iranian companies.

"At the end of the day, these charges reflect the use of our financial system to generate US dollars for Iranians and Iranian entities," FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. said.

"That’s why our government has robust sanctions in place against Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Iranian entities who seek to use the US banking system for their own benefit," he added.

When questioned, the 53-year-old reportedly told agents that he did not know that the transfers were prohibited by the sanctions.

Karimi was charged on three accounts, which include conspiring to commit bank fraud, committing bank fraud, and making false statements

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel strikes Gaza, suspends cement imports after rocket fire
[IsraelTimes] Army says Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, ’war room’ and other targets in northern Strip hit from air after fourth straight day of cross-border launches; Defense Ministry announces other punitive actions.

Israeli forces struck Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
just after midnight Sunday morning, hours after a rocket was fired from the enclave at southern Israel, the IDF said.

The Defense Ministry also announced it was freezing cement imports and other punitive steps in response to near daily attacks from the Strip recently.

The Israel Defense Forces said that warplanes and helicopter gunships carried out attacks on Hamas targets in northern Gaza.

It said a Hamas "war room" and underground facilities used by the terror group were hit, among other assets.

"The attacks were carried out in response to high-trajectory fire and the launch of incendiary balloons from Gaza into Israel," the army said in a statement.

The Hamas linked Shehab news site earlier reported Israeli attacks on targets near Beit Lahia in the north of the Strip.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

On Saturday night, a rocket fired out of Gaza landed in an open area the Sha’ar Hanegev region, as tensions in the restive region ramped up.

No damage or injuries were reported.

The attack occurred while Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz and other top members of his faction were visiting the area, forcing them to hold their meeting with residents in a bomb shelter.

The area has seen a marked increase in violence over the last several days, with near daily rocket fire and launches of suspected balloon borne bombs, drawing retaliatory Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s.

Israel said late Saturday that was suspending cement imports into the Strip in response to the attacks.

It also said it was cutting the number of commercial entry permits given to Gazooks by 500 starting Sunday. Israel currently gives out 5,500 permits.

Israel has allowed cement imports into the Strip since 2014 under a mechanism overseen by the UN designed to ensure building materials are used for civilian purposes and not constructing tunnels or other military infrastructure.

In 2016, Israel froze cement imports for 45 days after a cross-border tunnel was discovered.

"The decision was made following security consultations and in light of repeated terror activity from the Gaza Strip against Israeli citizens over the past weeks, which have represented a violation of Israeli illusory sovereignty," the Defense Ministry unity charged with liaising with Paleostinian civil authorities said in a statement.

Saturday was the fourth day in a row in which Lions of Islam in the Strip fired rockets or mortar shells at southern Israel.

Throughout the day on Saturday, a number of balloons suspected of carrying bombs were launched from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel. Balloon clusters were found in the Lachish and Merhavim regional councils to the east of Gaza. Police sappers were called to handle the potential bombs.

Explosive devices and incendiary devices tied to balloons have increasingly been floating over the border from Gaza in recent weeks.
