Afghanistan
Female Police Officer Killed in Gunmen Attack in Nangarhar
[ToloNews] A female police officer was killed in an attack by unidentified button men in the city of Jalalabad in eastern Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province on Thursday morning, the provincial police front man Farid Khan said.

The incident happened at around 7:30 am local time in Jalalabad's District 3, he said.

Basina, the policewoman, was first maimed in the attack and died in hospital, said Khan.

"She served in police rank for the last 15 years and the incident happened when she was on her way to the police headquarters," he said, adding that "two suspected were arrested over the incident."

No group, including the Taliban

, has grabbed credit for the attack.

Targeted attacks have sharply increased in Nangarhar province. Kabul and Nangarhar provinces have been the most affected provinces during this period in terms of assassinations.

Afghan government officials say the Taliban are behind these attacks; however, the Taliban has persistently rejected any involvement.

Africa Subsaharan
Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet Goes Missing
[All Africa] This development came weeks after another Air Force aircraft, a Beechcraft KingAir B350i, crashed after reporting engine failure.A Nigerian Air Force fighter jet has gone missing in the insurgency ravaged Borno State in North-East Nigeria, authorities said Thursday morning.

The spokesperson for the Nigerian Air Force, Edward Gabkwet, said the alpha jet lost contact with the radar in Borno State Wednesday.

Mr Gabkwet, an air commodore, said the plane disappeared "while on interdiction mission in support of ground troops. The mission was part of the ongoing counterinsurgency operations in the North East.

"The loss of radar contact occurred at about 5:08 pm on 31 March 2021."

Mr Gabkwet added, "Details of the whereabout of the aircraft or likely cause of contact loss are still sketchy but will be relayed to the general public as soon as they become clear. Meanwhile,
...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo watched the circling Commanches and asked himself What would Geronimo do?...
search and rescue efforts are ongoing."

This development came weeks after another Air Force aircraft, a Beechcraft KingAir B350i, crashed after reporting engine failure on its way to Minna, Niger State.

The plane was heading to that destination to conduct surveillance missions over Niger State and its environs in connection with the efforts to secure the release of the students/staff kidnapped from the Government Science College Kagara, Niger State.

That February 21 crash led to the death of Flight Lieutenant Haruna Gadzama (Captain), Flight Lieutenant Henry Piyo (Co-Pilot), Flying Officer Micheal Okpara (Airborne Tactical Observation System (ATOS) Specialist), Warrant Officer Bassey Etim (ATOS Specialist), Flight Sergeant Olasunkanmi Olawunmi (ATOS Specialist), Sergeant Ugochukwu Oluka (ATOS Specialist), and Aircraftman Adewale Johnson (Onboard Technician).

The Nigerian Air Force is deeply involved in the anti-insurgency operation in the North-East as well as in the onslaught against bandidos in the North-West and North-Central geopolitical zones, providing reconnaissance intelligence and aerial covers for ground troops.

The Force also engages in bombardment of hard boyz enclaves from time to time.

Border Patrol Releases Video of Two Young Girls Thrown Over the Border Wall
More on this story from yesterday.
[PJMedia] The Albuquerque Journal reports:

A CBP release states the girls, 3 and 5 years old, were dropped from the 14-foot barrier onto the north side of the wall by two human smugglers just west of Mt. Cristo Rey.

The two girls were uninjured and are in a Border Patrol “temporary holding” pending placement by Health and Human Services, according to the release.

“I’m appalled by the way these smugglers viciously dropped innocent children from a 14-foot border barrier last night. If not for the vigilance of our agents using mobile technology, these two tender-aged siblings would have been exposed to the harsh elements of desert environment for hours,” Gloria Chavez, chief patrol agent of the El Paso Sector, said in a statement.

Chavez said CBP is working with authorities in Mexico to identify the “ruthless human smugglers” and hold them “accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

CBP agents took the girls to the Santa Teresa border patrol station before transporting them to a local hospital.

PJ Media’s Stacey Lennox recently reported,

While these flows at the border are a significant concern, a pressing question is who is profiting and how it increases their power. According to Jaeson Jones, retired captain of the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division, the beneficiaries are cartels. He now runs an organization called Tripwires and Triggers that seeks to bring media attention to the border risks that do not receive sufficient coverage.

It was never about the human trafficking that was taking over at our border. Or the human smuggling issue. Fentanyl pouring into the country which we knew was going to be a killer. But there is also the fact that the cartels themselves had gone through a quantum leap and change from originally organized crime into what we see now as a parallel government.

In his description, it is clear that these are not unsophisticated gangs that may operate in a territory but don’t control it. They are disciplined, militarized, transnational organizations that wield power over local and national governments to the south of our border. Cartels are not just a U.S.-Mexico problem. Sinaloa is in 54 nations globally, and Carte Jalisco in over 48 countries.

India-Pakistan
Sri Lankan boat associated with Pak drug network intercepted off Kerala coast with 300 kg heroin, arms
[OneIndia] A Sri Lankan boat was intercepted with 300 kg of Heroin along with huge quantity of arms and ammunition in Indian waters. Six Sri Lankan Nationals have been arrested.

Acting on a specific intelligence received by Indian Coast Guard and Narcotics Control Bureau, a Sri Lankan fishing vessel Ravihansi was intercepted by Indian Coast Guard in Indian waters off the coast of Vizhinjam, Kerala.

The vessel was brought to Vizhinjam harbour and NCB Chennai Zonal Unit took over the custody of the boat and seized 300.323 kg of Heroin along with five AK-47 Rifles and 1000 rounds of 9mm ammunitions. A number of incriminating documents were also seized from the occupants of the vessel.

The heroin was found concealed inside the water tank of the vessel in 301 packets. Image of a flying horse was found on all the heroin packets, which is a usual practise of drug trafficking syndicates to brand their drugs. Further, investigations so far indicate that an unknown vessel carried the Heroin and arms consignment from Chabahar Port, 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 Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
Starting in Iran? How very interesting.
and handed over the same to Sri Lankan fishing boat Ravihansi in the high seas near Lakshadweep. Ravihansi was then trafficking the consignment to Sri Lanka when the Indian authorities intercepted it.
”Damn those Indians for the nosy parkers they are,’ can be heard repeated in wheelhouses and chandlers offices from Iran to Pakistan.
All the six Sri Lankan crew members namely L Y Nandana, HKGB Dassppriya, AHS Gunasekara, S A Senarath, T Ranasingha and D Nissanka present in the boat were arrested by NCB and remanded to judicial custody.

The intelligence inputs and the investigations so far indicate that a Pakistain based drug trafficking network is involved in the current seizure.
Those Paki narcos sure do get around.
There have been seizures of huge quantity heroin in the Arabian Sea by both Indian as well as other enforcement agencies which are believed to have trafficked by the same network. This seizure also unveils the nexus between narcotics trafficking and bully boy elements.
We await with interest the announcement of which particular jihadi group(s) is involved.

How Pakistan uses Sri Lankan vessels to smuggle drugs, arms through Indian waters

[OneIndia] The interception of a Sri Lankan board with 300 kilograms of heroin and a huge quantity of arms and ammunition off the coast of Vizhinjam, Kerala is a reminder of how grave the situation is.In November last year, a Sri Lankan boat with 100 kilograms of heroin was seized. The seizure was made south of Thoothukudi during an operation, which began on November 17 2020. The drugs were meant to be sent to western countries from Sri Lanka. The drugs were transferred onto the Sri Lankan vessel by a Pak dhow from Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
. The Indian Coast Guard found 99 packets of heroin of 100 kilograms, 20 boxes of synthetic drugs, a Thuraya set and five 9 mm pistols.

Officials say that Pakistan is known to provide a safe haven for smuggling narcotics through land routes in Balochistan and trans-shipment from its Gwadar Port.
In 2017, a probe by the Coast Guard into the massive drug haul of Rs 1,500 kg of heroin off the Gujarat
...where rioting seems to be a traditional passtime...
coast pointed to the involvement of Pak nationals in sending the shipment from the Chinese controlled Gwadar ports. The probe suggested that the narcotics were embarked off the Gwadar Port in Pakistain and the same was proceeding towards the UAE. The port was built by the Chinese and is controlled as well as operated by Beijing for both merchant and military seafaring.

In July 2020, a high alert was sounded following inputs from the international agencies about a rise in smuggling activities originating from the Gwadar Port. India received inputs from the Tanzanian authorities who said that heroin consignments were being smuggled and dropped off at Tanzanian ports.

Officials say that Pakistain is known to provide a safe haven for smuggling narcotics through land routes in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
and trans-shipment from its Gwadar Port.

In the most recent case, the intelligence inputs and the investigations so far indicate that a Pakistain based drug trafficking network is involved in the current seizure. There have been seizures of huge quantity heroin in the Arabian Sea by both Indian as well as other enforcement agencies which are believed to have trafficked by the same network. This seizure also unveils the nexus between narcotics trafficking and bully boy elements, officials say.

...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
were also arrested in this case.

Iraq
Iraqi forces arrest infamous ISIS 'Emir of the Tigris Region'
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Iraqi Armed Forces managed to arrest the so-called "Emir of the Tigris Region", a commander in the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) terrorist organization, during a mission in central Iraq.The spokesperson of the Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, Major General Yehia Rasool, posted on his official Twitter account on Thursday:

"Based on the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Mustafa al-Kazemi, and through continuous follow-up, scrutiny, matching, gathering information and with a qualitative ambush based on an intelligence effort, the heroes In the Counter-Terrorism Service arrested the newly established "Emir of the Tigris Region" after the killing of the former emir in an operation."
