Gen. Zia pledged that Afghan forces are ready to thwart any threat against the people of Afghanistan.
"This time it was a military exercise so we can detect our problems... We are strengthening our strong areas and will work on our weak points to change them into strength. Some reports are exaggerated, but the shelling that is done to us, we have directed our forces that we will not leave our people alone," he said.
A similar military exercise was conducted in Goshta district, Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad.

Militants stormed a high-end seaside hotel in Mogadishu on Sunday, killing at least seven people and injuring more than 20, in the second attack by Islamist insurgents on a highly fortified target in the Somali capital this week.
Militant group al Shabaab claimed the attack on the Elite Hotel in Lido beach, which started with a suicide car bombing. Its gunmen later battled security forces.
The hotel is owned by Abdullahi Mohamed Nor, a lawmaker, and ex-finance minister and frequented by many government officials, government workers, and people from the Somali diaspora.
“There were officials of (President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo’s) government inside the hotel when we attacked,” said a statement broadcast on al Shabaab’s Radio Andalus.

[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] People in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , Libya’s capital, set the United Arab Emirates’ embassy on fire in protest at Abdu Dhabi’s decision to normalize ties with the Zionist regime of Israel.
Photos have been circulated in social media of the embassy after the fire was put out, arabi21 website reported.
A much-condemned deal was recently signed between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The deal was announced on Thursday.
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... , who apparently helped broker the deal, has attempted to paint it as a big breakthrough.
The move has drawn strong criticism from many Islamic countries and regional organizations.
The UAE is now the third Arab country, after Egypt and Jordan, to normalize with Israel. Abu Dhabi was already believed to have clandestine relations with Tel Aviv.

[AlAhram] The execution took place on Saturday in Somaa, a district of Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... 's central al-Baida province, a official told AFP
Al-Qaeda forces of Evil in war-torn Yemen executed a dentist accused of spying for the government and guiding US dronezaps targeting the Islamist murderous Moslems, a local official said on Sunday.
The jihadis shot Motthar al-Youssoufi, then crucified his corpse and left it outside his health centre, the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The execution took place on Saturday in Somaa, a district of Yemen's central al-Baida province, the official added.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... (AQAP), which is active in Yemen, is considered by the United States as the radical group's most dangerous branch.
The US has carried out a long-running drone campaign in Yemen.
The Sunni murderous Moslem group has thrived in the chaos of years of civil war between Yemen's Saudi-backed government and sock puppets of the Medes and the Persians who control the capital.
An AQAP video contained -- according to the organization -- a "confession" by the dentist to having worked with government security services, and to having placed microchips to guide US missile strikes.
AQAP operates in the al-Baida province -- which is under nominal government control -- after retreating from positions in the south and east of the country, the local official added.
The group plans to execute another Yemeni accused of spying, and is holding five more men and seven women also accused of espionage, the official said.
AQAP has carried out operations against both the Huthis and government forces, as well as sporadic attacks abroad.

[Dhaka Tribune] The trial for 10 year old schoolboy Abdus Salam’s murder, is yet to make any significant progress, although so many years have passed since the incident took place in 2005.
Fifteen years? The mills of justice are grinding slowly, indeed.
The sensational murder case is pending at the Second Additional District and Sessions Judges Court in Dhaka due to the frequent non appearance of witnesses in this sensational case.
Court sources say prosecution witnesses have not been appearing in court for their depositions for quite some time, though the court has issued arrest warrants for them. Even the police have failed to produce the witnesses leaving the trial pending in court.
For a speedy conclusion of the case, the High Court directed the trial court to dispose of the case within six months on March 13, 2013. The time frame given by the high court has expired but the trial has seen no significant progress.
According to the case statement, schoolboy Abdus Salam, 10, died in a kaboom in front of his home in Sobujbagh of Savar in the outskirts of Dhaka. The August 17, 2005, bombing is attributed to the banned krazed killer group, Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB).
After the incident, the victim’s father Ramjan Ali, filed a case with Savar cop shoppe.
On July 13, 2006, Sub Inspector Nasiruddin of Savar cop shoppe submitted a charge sheet to the court accusing 13 JMB men including Rafiqul Islam, Ataur Rahman Sanny, Anwar Hossain, and Hafiz Billah.
On July 2, 2008, the court indicted the 13 bandidosDeath Eaters and the trial against the accused started on June 4, 2009. Since then the court has recorded the depositions of only 11 out of 25 prosecution witnesses in the case.
Lastly, on October 31, 2013, the court recorded the deposition of a witness but since then no witness has appeared before the court to provide a deposition in the case.
"We also want to dispose of the case but the case trial is being delayed due to the non-appearance of witnesses," defence counsel Advocate Faruk Ahamed told Dhaka Tribune.
Talking to this correspondent, Shakila Jaismin Mitu, public prosecutor of the Second Additional District and Sessions Judges Court said: "We are trying to dispose of the case but the witnesses are not appearing for depositions despite summons and arrest warrants being issued. What can we do if a witness does not come to court for a deposition?"

Let's point out the obvious - lefty morons show up in person to protest alleged limitations with mail-in voting, ostensibly in the name of safety. Irony takes another kick to the balls.

The kick documented in Skid's #3 is potentially a turning point, one way or the other. It is the textbook definition of attempted murder. If the local DA doesn't meaningfully prosecute this (felony charges, jail time), then he won't prosecute anything.

[DAILYWIRE] reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... police were ready for a massive protest in the city’s downtown that quickly went out of control Saturday night, arresting at least two dozen demonstrators who, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway... said, came prepared for a fight.
Chicago coppers were following a large protest, hosted by several "anti-racism" and "anti-police brutality groups" — though not Chicago’s chapter of Black Lives Matter — that began on the city’s lakefront and then threatened to move north toward the city’s "Magnificent Mile" shopping district, which is still reeling from looting and rioting early last week.
After one officer was hit with a skateboard and another punched, the demonstration erupted into a clash between Chicago police and protesters, which ended with protesters being "kettled" and allowed out of the city’s downtown "Loop" business district only one at a time.
Sunday morning, CPD released footage of the altercation that set off the clash.
The video shows protesters advancing toward police on Michigan Avenue.
"Tensions flared near Randolph and Dearborn, where officers in riot gear were seen shoving protesters back with their shields, some of them hitting demonstrators with batons. Other video showed protesters hitting coppers with a skateboard and other objects," WGN News reported. "It was just one of several heated moments Saturday night as CPD bicycle officers formed perimeters near Lake and Michigan. The bridges were raised over the Chicago River to try to keep the protesters from advancing through the Loop."
Other social media videos show the police response. United in a single line with Police Superintendent David Brown at the lead, officers advanced on the protesters, pressing them first to the south and then to the west, until the demonstration was surrounded. Protesters were then released from the "kettle" one by one after being searched for weapons.
Police blocked any exit from Michigan Avenue to the south with a line of police horses and patrolled the riverfront for stragglers trying to leave the protest by climbing down below street level and traveling along the Chicago River.
The protesters complained late Saturday that several demonstrators had been "unconstitutionally" arrested and were in CPD custody. Chicago police say they arrested 24 individuals who are believed to have taken part in attacks on officers.
"During a presser Saturday night, Supt. David Brown said 24 arrests were made, including four felony arrests for battery of officers," WGN continued. "Two protesters were treated for injuries and 17 officers were treated for injuries, CPD said."
"An officer was beaten in the head several times with a skateboard," Brown told news hounds. "This group deployed large black umbrellas, changed their appearance, and began pushing our officers and eventually assaulting them."
According to a social media post made by groups "Increase the Peace," "BLCK Rising," and "Good Kids/Mad City" — the same group whose leadership claimed last week that looting was a form of "reparations" — protesters were demanding that the Chicago Police Department leave Chicago public schools, that Chicago cancels an "ICE citizens academy," that the city defunds the police department and allocate resources to "e-learning and community centers," and that Chicago’s private colleges break their ties with ICE.
Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot was unapologetic over Saturday night’s events.
"What we’ve seen is people who have embedded themselves in these seemingly peaceful protests and have come for a fight," Lightfoot told CBS’s "Face the Nation" Sunday. "What happened yesterday was really over very quickly because our police department has resolved to make sure that we protect peaceful protests, but we are absolutely not going to tolerate people who come to these protests looking for a fight and are intending to injure our coppers and injure innocent people who have just come to express their First Amendment rights."

Consider what the anonymous actuary analysts are doing at all the insurance companies. Even for homeowner insurance, let alone business, imagine the premiums or the new peril exemptions you will need to accept if you stay in these sh*tholes...
[NYPOST] More than two dozen protesters were arrested over festivities with cops in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... and Seattle Saturday as civil unrest over police brutality continued across the country.Heated protests were reported in Chicago, where 24 demonstrators were arrested, according to WGN9.
Youth activist groups organized in downtown Chicago, where they were peppered sprayed as they demanded the defunding of the city’s police department and the abolishment of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
One of the groups, Good Kids, Mad City, posted to Twitter that two of their organizers were "beaten and arrested." A video from the group appears to show officers kettling protesters on the street.
"Cops are separating & surrounding protesters! They won’t let people leave!" the group wrote on Twitter.
Four of the 24 arrests in the city were for felony battery of cops, David Brown, the superintendent of the CPD, said during a news briefing Saturday night.
Two protesters and 17 officers were treated for injuries, according to the department.
"An officer was beaten in the head several times with a skateboard," Brown said.
The violence started later Saturday afternoon when "multiple agitators hijacked" what were until then peaceful protests, Brown said as he defended the response from cops.
"To protect the peaceful protesters, as well as their fellow officers, our officers responded proportionately to get the situation under control," he said.
In Seattle, three people were arrested Friday night after a group of 100 or so protesters broke windows and graffitied storefronts in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, which has been the epicenter of the city’s demonstrations, the Seattle Times reported.
Windows were broken at T-Mobile and UPS stores along the city’s Broadway. Graffiti on the UPS reportedly read "Support the USPS," a reference to the beleaguered postal service.
Democrats have accused President Trump of working to handicap the agency to prevent mail-in ballots during the November election.
"This is not the way to support the USPS," one UPS employee told the Times. "We take USPS packages. We ship for the USPS."

Coming soon - the Second Turkish Invasion of Cyprus -<
em>In July 1974, Turkish forces invaded and captured 3% of the island before a ceasefire was declared. The Greek military junta collapsed and was replaced by a democratic government. In August 1974 another Turkish invasion resulted in the capture of approximately 37% of the island. The ceasefire line from August 1974 became the United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus and is commonly referred to as the Green Line. WIKI

[Rudaw] One Katyusha rocket landed in Baghdad's Green Zone on Sunday night, according to a statement from the Iraqi Security Media Cell.
"The rocket was launched from al-Dhalal street, while the security forces found another two rockets which were prepared for launch in the same place, and were defused," the statement read.
Good job, guys.
The security media cell confirmed there were no casualties as a result of the attack.
A source inside the Green Zone, close to the US embassy compound, confirmed to Rudaw English that sirens went off after the rocket landed.
No group has grabbed credit for the attack.
This is the fourth consecutive night in a row that rocket attacks have taken place across Iraq.
Two rockets landed near Taji military base, north of Baghdad on Saturday night, while three Katyusha rockets landed inside the vicinity of Baghdad International Airport on Friday. Three Katyusha rockets also landed inside al-Balad air base in Salahaddin province, which houses Iraq’s F-16 jets, late Thursday, according to the media cell.
The last rocket attack reported inside Baghdad’s Green Zone was on Tuesday night, which also resulted in no casualties.
The US has attributed past rocket attacks on sites of international importance in the Green Zone to Iran-backed militias, who it says are looking to further inflame US-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 the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... tensions.
Sunday’s attack is the latest of several rocket attacks targeting the Green Zone after Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS) personnel raided the headquarters of the Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah militia in Baghdad province on June 26, detaining at least 14 fighters of the group, who were accused of recent rocket attacks in the capital.
Multiple attacks on military bases hosting US troops have taken place since the raid, notably Taji base.
[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] The Iraqi Ministry of Interior announced on Saturday that one ISIS commander along with two of his deputies have been arrested in Northern Province of Nineveh.
The Iraqi Ministry of Interior issued a statement on Saturday noting that Security forces have captured an ISIS commander who was previously involved in a number of suicide missions in the country.
The ISIS elements were also responsible for several terrorist operations against security forces and Iraqi citizens.
The ISIS terrorist group has a number of cells in the northern, eastern and southern regions of Iraq and has intensified its attacks on Iraqi civilians and security forces in the past two months which has been unprecedented since 2017.
In recent months, Hashed al-Sha’abi forces (PMF) and the Iraqi Army have carried out a series of operations against ISIS members in Al Anbar, Nineveh, Saladin governorates since the middle of last month.
[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] The front man for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Major General Yahya Rasool, announced on Sunday, the arrest of the "most dangerous terrorist" who participated in the Camp Speicher massacre.
Rasoul said in a statement, "The anti-terrorism forces were able, through field follow-up and months of efforts, to arrest the terrorist, who is considered one of the most dangerous Lions of Islam who participated in the Camp Speicher massacre", adding that the arrest took place in Saladin governorate.
Rasool noted that the operation came, "according to the directives of the Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mustafa al-Kadhimi", pointing that the counterterrorism forces also managed to arrest, "two Lions of Islam in Nineveh and Saladin governorates"
ISIS had committed a massacre against students of the military college known as the Camp Speicher in Saladin governorate, as about 1,700 soldiers and students were executed, in one of the most horrific massacres during its invasion of northern and western Iraq in the summer of 2014.
On June 12, 2014, about 1,566 Shiite cadets undergoing training at the camp in Tikrit ...birthplace of Saddam Hussein... were executed by ISIS bully boys, who had initially promised them safe passage.
Camp Speicher, which is currently named Majid al-Timimi air base, is located in the town of Tikrit, approximately 170 kilometers north of Baghdad.
More than 50 people accused of taking part in the massacre have already been sentenced to death by Iraqi authorities. Thirty-six of them were hanged in August 2016.
[YNet] - Border police soldier receives preliminary treatment, transported to capital's Shaare Zedek Medical Center; 60-year-old woman lightly injured in shooting; attacker shot dead.
A 19-year-old border police soldier was moderately wounded Monday evening in a stabbing attack near the Lions' Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem.

[IsraelTimes] Israel Defense Force soldiers opened fire on a Paleostinian about to throw a Molotov cocktail at Rachel’s Tomb near Bethlehem in the West Bank, the army said just after midnight Sunday.
The man "tried to throw a fire bomb at the tomb compound," the army said. "The soldiers opened fire and foiled the attack. They identified hitting [the attacker.]"
The Paleostinian news agency Wafa, citing security sources, said an 18-year-old was shot in the leg and taken to a Bethlehem hospital in stable, pH balanced condition. aim higher
Rachel’s Tomb, believed to be the burial place of the Biblical matriarch, is just outside Bethlehem in the West Bank, separated from the town by Israel’s security barrier.
[IsraelTimes] Tanks hit terror group observation posts after incendiary devices launched from 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... Strip spark at least 28 bush fires in southern Israel.
Israeli tanks shelled Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, observation posts in the Gaza Strip early Monday morning in response to dozens of arson balloon attacks and riots along the border, the Israel Defense Forces said.
