Question:

Were the Dogs "WOKE",or "WAKEN" ☺☻☺?

Should the Good-Fund-Me $$$$ be confiscated by the Local Gov. to cover the Taxpayer costs related to clean up and Disposal? Or should the $$$$ be used for the Vet Bill, to make sure the dogs didn't pickup something chewing on him?

Also interesting to note:
How the media leads with the THUGS years old HS Grad photo and not this current full bread and etc.. (eg The Media's innocent Trayvon Martin image attempt.)


BTW: Liked the surprised look on the reporters face when he said...
That a Large number of callers are upset that the dogs had been locked up, when they should be hailed as Heroes.

Afghanistan
Taliban say they have raided IS hideout north of Kabul
[AlAhram] Taliban
...Arabic for students...
fighters raided a hideout of 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....
group north of the Afghan capital on Friday, killing and arresting an unspecified number of krazed killers, a Taliban front man said

Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in mid-August, there has been an increase in attacks by IS forces of Evil targeting Taliban members. The Taliban and IS are enemies, and the attacks have raised the specter of a wider conflict between the long-time rivals.

In late August, an IS jacket wallah targeted U.S. evacuation efforts outside Kabul international airport in one of the deadliest attacks in the country in years. The blast killed 169 Afghans and 13 U.S. service members.

Taliban front man Bilal Karimi told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that Friday's raid took place in the city of Charikar in Parwan province. He did not provide more details and his statement could not be independently verified.

The raid followed an arrest by the Taliban of two IS members linked to a roadside kabooming that targeted their vehicle in the city, wounding four fighters, Karimi said. The two were questioned and the information they provided helped the Taliban identify the hideout, he added.

The IS is based largely 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 but the group has ramped up attacks across Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover. Several Taliban fighters have been killed in IS attacks in the thriving provincial capital of Jalalabad. In response, the Taliban have carried out crackdowns in Nangarhar.
Update from Khaama Press at 2:50 p.m. ET:
A spokesperson of the Taliban Bilal Karimi confirmed the raid and said that the fighters were arrested after their friends targeted the Taliban members in the province.

In the attack, four Taliban members were wounded.

MoI to Probe Reports of Killing, Torture of Panjshir Civilians
[ToloNews] The Ministry of Interior on Friday said it will investigate the alleged torture and killings of civilians in Panjshir province.

Saeed Khosti, spokesman of the ministry, said such behavior is not allowed.

“The Islamic Emirate does not allow anyone to torture anyone after the amnesty it announced. This is the policy of the Islamic Emirate. If any minor incidents happen in some places, the Islamic Emirate will try to investigate it,” Khosti said.
"If there's any torturing going on, WE'LL be the ones doing it. Capisce?"
Meanwhile, a number of residents of Panjshir province said some force members of the Islamic Emirate torture civilians and demand weapons.

Imam Reza, a resident of the province, said five days ago members of the Islamic Emirate forces captured and released him but after hours of torture.

“The Taliban took me, beat me, tortured me and asked for weapons. I shouted that I do not have any, but they did not hear,” he said.

A video posted on social media showed a man calling himself the head of the intelligence department of the Islamic Emirate in Panjshir province and saying that members of the Islamic Emirate forces have tortured and even killed a number of people in the province.

“We bring people down from the mountains. Then another person comes and kills them. What response do we have for (our) people? We do not know what to do,” he said in the video.

The Ministry of Interior has said it is not known whether the man in the video is the head of the intelligence department in Panjshir or not, adding they will investigate the issue.

Meanwhile, forces belonging to the Resistance Front in new footage released on social media have said they are present in parts of Panjshir province.

Taliban order their fighters to leave Afghan homes they seized
[IsraelTimes] The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
on Thursday ordered their fighters to leave private homes that they had taken over during last month’s blitz when the group seized control of Afghanistan, an apparent effort to impose order among Taliban ranks.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter awoke groggily, his hand still stuck in the Ming vase...
in the capital of Kabul, the Taliban fired shots to disperse a women’s rally demanding equal rights, while the regional chief for the International Federation of the Red Thingy (IFRC) warned that Afghanistan was sliding into a deep "major humanitarian crisis" with the coming winter and severe financial shortfalls.

The order by Taliban Prime Minister Hasan Akhund followed recent public statements by Taliban officials hinting at plans to improve organization and marshal fighters. It said that Taliban members belonging to the bad boy group’s defense, interior and intelligence agencies who are living in private homes need to "report back to military bases" across the country.

In recent weeks, the Taliban abandoned their traditional, civilian dress and donned military fatigues to project an air of authority. Bilal Karimi, a Taliban security official, confirmed the directive to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

The Afghan army abandoned most of its positions or surrendered to the Taliban during the August blitz, allowing Taliban fighters to take over military bases as well.

In Kabul on Thursday, the Taliban fired shots to disperse a small rally of six women outside a local school, demanding equal rights to education. They confiscated posters held by the women that read: "Do not burn our books!"

Other women coming to join the protest in the Kart-e-Char neighborhood were later told to go home, according to a witness who spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing Taliban reprisal. Mawlawi Nasratullah, a Taliban official, later told news hounds that women had not asked for permission to rally.

The International Federation of Red Thingy and Red Islamic Thingy Movement is appealing for 36 million Swiss Francs ($38 million) to continue funding health clinics, emergency relief, and other services across Afghanistan’s 16 provinces.

On Wednesday, United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
front man Stephane Dujarric asked donors to fast-track funding for a $606 million flash appeal that is only 22 percent funded, to help 11 million Afghans for the remainder of the year.

"There needs to be some solution to the financial flows into Afghanistan to ensure that at least salaries can be paid, and that essential supplies, power and water being two of them, can be procured," Matheou said.

Since the Taliban takeover in mid-August, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have paused disbursements to Kabul, while the United States froze billons of dollars in assets held in American accounts by the Afghan Central Bank. Foreign aid previously accounted for nearly 75% of Afghanistan’s public expenditure, according to a World Bank report.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican Government Confirms Los Zetas Cartel Killing Field near Texas Border
[Breitbart] Mexico’s federal government confirmed the discovery of a cartel killing field miles south of the Texas border and is believed to have been used by the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas.

This week, Mexico’s National Search Commission announced the discovery of the field south of Nuevo Laredo, an area that has seen numerous “disappearances since 2012.” The property is on the 26th kilometer marking of the Nuevo Laredo-Monterrey highway.

The discovery took place when Tamaulipas state investigators went to the scene with a relative of one of the victims believed to be at the site. Members of the state and federal search commissions also found charred drums, personal items, and scattered clothing.

After the discovery, the National Search Commission asked Mexico’s government to secure the area to allow a proper investigation so that relatives can have an opportunity to find closure.

The discovery of the killing field comes months after Breitbart Texas reported on the numerous kidnappings carried out by the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas in Nuevo Laredo and along the highway to Monterrey. The criminal organization has been able to operate with almost complete impunity as they have taken more than 100 victims in recent months. The true number remains unknown.

Breitbart Texas reported on the ongoing search for a Texas woman and her two children who went missing while driving along that highway. Other U.S. citizens have been reported missing while driving from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Alleged terrorist detained by FSB in Cherkessk with explosive materials
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Lead paragraph rewritten in English. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] A man was detained by the Russian FSB with bomb making materials on his person according to Russian language media.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the FSB announced today the arrest in Cherkessk of a 20-year-old resident of the neighboring republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. Components and tools for making an improvised explosive device were seized from him.

According to the ministry, the detainee was preparing a terrorist attack in the city against law enforcement officers and acted on the instructions of the militants of the international terrorist organization "Islamic State."
Definitely a terrorist, all right.
In a video of the FSB Public Relations Center, published today on the TASS YouTube channel, people in civilian clothes inspect the clothes of a man lying on the ground in handcuffs. This is followed by shots of the seizure of the contents of the backpack - camouflage clothing is taken out of it.
Video is in Russian and is in untranslatable format.
Demonstrated is a five-liter plastic water tank wrapped with tape. The tape is cut with a knife, revealing that it is holding many metal bolts and nuts on the bottle. White powder is poured from the bottle itself.

Also removed the diagram, made by hand on a notebook sheet. The diagram shows the building of the Prosecutor's Office on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street near the intersection with Soyuzny Lane. According to the service "Yandex. Maps", in this place in Cherkessk is the building of the prosecutor's office of Karachay-Cherkessia.

When the detainee is already sitting on the ground, filming a mobile phone, he is asked about his age. The young man replies that he is 20. "What did you do here?" - asks the security officer. The young man moves his lips, but his answer is not heard. To the question: "Do you understand what he was detained for?" he nods in the affirmative.

Europe
Germany investigates man on suspicion of spying for Turkey
[DW] Police have arrested a Turkish man in Düsseldorf possessing weapons and a list of supporters of the Gulen movement, which the Turkish government has labeled "terrorists."

Germany's federal prosecutor general announced Friday that the investigation resulting from a raid on a Düsseldorf hotel that saw the arrest of a Turkish man identified as Ali D. was being treated as a case of suspected espionage on behalf of the Turkish state.

Federal Prosecutor General Peter Frank said Ali D. was under investigation on suspicion of collecting information on supporters of the Gulen movement in the Cologne area.

Counterintelligence cases fall under the purview of the federal prosecutor general in Germany.

WHAT TRIGGERED THE INVESTIGATION?
On September 17, an employee of the niu Tab hotel in Düsseldorf discovered that a guest had a weapon. Special police forces searched the hotel for hours as surrounding streets were cordoned off.

Police investigators then found a pistol and 200 rounds of ammunition on Ali D., along with documents containing the names of supporters of the Gulen movement. Authorities said that people who might have been in danger due to their presence on the lists of supporters contained in the documents had been notified.

Prosecutors believe that Ali D. was acting on behalf of and under the guidance of MIT, the Turkish intelligence service. Authorities allege messages on his cell phone suggest as much. He is currently in custody.

Ali D. had initially been investigated on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime and for breaching German gun laws.

The federal prosecutor general's spokesperson on Friday said "sufficient evidence" had since emerged to make the case a counterintelligence matter.

WHAT IS THE GULEN MOVEMENT?
The Gulen movement is a decades-old Islamic movement in Turkey that has adherents worldwide, including in Germany.

The movement's leader, Fethullah Gulen, currently resides in the US state of Pennsylvania.

Gulen used to be a confidant and an ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's.

The two had a very public falling out when police supportive of Gulen in Turkey made a series of arrests in December 2013 that swept up many Erdogan allies, including his son.

Erdogan blames the group, and a military faction comprised of Gulen's supporters for a coup attempt on July 15, 2016.

The Turkish government has since labeled the Gulen movement a terrorist network and prosecuted it for infiltration and subversion of state institutions.

Erdogan has also pressed the US to extradite Gulen and Germany to rein in and take action against his supporters in Germany.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Two suspects in West Bank stone-throwing attack on Palestinians released
[IsraelTimes] Judge says adult and minor were likely arrested over their ‘appearance’; Tuesday’s assault in the South Hebron Hills left a dozen wounded, including a 3-year-old boy.

Two Jewish suspects arrested over a stone-throwing assault on a Palestinian village in the southern West Bank earlier this week that left more than a dozen wounded were released Friday.

The two, an adult and a minor, detained on Thursday, were the fifth and sixth suspects taken for questioning over their alleged participation in the attack on Tuesday.

But on Friday morning, they were released with no restrictions by the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court.

“The request for the detention against them in the first place was discomforting,” justice Havi Tucker said according to Kan news. She added that it was likely they were arrested over their “appearance.”

Nati Rom of the Honenu legal aid organization, representing the detainees, said that “again the court confirms what we have been saying, that these are false arrests, only over their appearance.” He also charged the police with not investigating stone-throwing crimes committed by “anarchist left-wing groups” and Palestinians.

Another minor, accused of assaulting soldiers, though not participating in the attack against the Palestinians, had his remand extended until Sunday.

On Tuesday afternoon, dozens of masked Israelis threw stones at Palestinians in the South Hebron Hills. The rocks smashed cars and injured at least 12 Palestinians, including a three-year-old, Palestinian and Israeli witnesses said.

Some Palestinians threw stones back at the settlers as well, leading to clashes between the two sides, witnesses said. Three Israelis were injured as well, according to Hebrew media reports.

In videos from the scene, Israeli settlers can be seen breaking Palestinian car windows and hurling stones at Palestinian homes. The confrontations took place near the small Palestinian shepherding village of al-Mufaqara, a cluster of homes that straddles two illegal Israeli West Bank outposts, Avigayil and Havat Maon.

Assault and vandalism by settlers against Palestinians and Israeli security forces in the West Bank are commonly referred to as “price tag” attacks. Perpetrators say that they are retaliation for Palestinian violence or government policies seen as hostile to the settler movement.

Israeli authorities rarely arrest Jewish perpetrators in such attacks, making Wednesday’s and Thursday’s arrests an unusual step. Rights groups lament, however, that convictions are even more unusual than arrests, and the vast majority of charges in such attacks are dropped.

On Tuesday, a Palestinian and an Israeli settler were arrested by Israel Police officers. According to a police spokesperson, the Palestinian is suspected of attacking a soldier and violating a military order. The Israeli, a Havat Maon resident, is believed to have thrown stones and disobeyed soldiers’ instructions, the spokesperson said.

Palestinian witnesses said that the Israeli military fired tear gas and stun grenades at them, but not the settlers. The army declined to respond to the allegations.

The injured toddler, Mohammad Bakr Hussein, was allegedly struck in the head by a rock hurled by a settler as he slept in his house in al-Mufaqara. Hussein was evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba in moderate condition, a hospital spokesperson said.

IDF troops shoot dead Gaza man, say he had ‘suspicious bag’ as he neared border
[IsraelTimes] Incident ends relative lull in violence along frontier; Hamas praises Palestinians who attacked Israeli forces in Jerusalem, West Bank and were shot dead.

Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian man who approached the central Gaza border on Thursday morning, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said.

The Israel Defense Forces said troops fired at the man after he was seen approaching the border with two other men in a suspicious way by IDF troops watching the area through surveillance cameras.

“IDF monitors saw three suspects approaching the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip, as one of them was seen digging in the ground while carrying a suspicious bag,” the military said, without further clarifying.

“After he was spotted, IDF troops who were on the scene opened fire at the suspect,” the IDF said.

The military said it was aware of the Palestinian reports that the man had been hit by the gunfire and died, but would not comment further.

Gaza health officials identified the deceased as Mohammad Abd al-Karim Abu Ammar, 40, saying that he had been shot in the neck by live bullets.

According to Gaza media, Abu Ammar had approached the border while “bird-hunting” east of el-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

“Mohammad was attempting to safeguard his children and family’s daily bread by going to hunt birds, as per the season. But the merciless occupation, which we and the world know well, has no pity. The martyr Mohammad was innocent,” his cousin told Palestinian journalist Hassan Islayeh.

He was fatally wounded and pronounced dead a short time later in a nearby hospital, official Hamas media reported.

The incident came amid a relative lull in violence along the border, following a tense period earlier this month that saw repeated rocket attacks and the launching of balloon-borne incendiary devices from the Strip into Israel.

Two other Palestinians were killed on Thursday during confrontations with Israeli forces. Israel Police said Israa Khazimiyah, a 30-year-old woman from a town outside Jenin, tried to carry out a stabbing attack and was shot and killed in Jerusalem’s Old City. A member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, Alaa Zayud, 22, was killed in a predawn shootout with Israeli soldiers near Jenin.

Gaza’s Hamas rulers publicly mourned the two deceased Palestinians, calling them “our people’s heroic martyrs.”

“We repeat that only armed resistance and comprehensive confrontations with the occupation can stop its aggression and expel its settlers from our occupied land,” the terror group said in a statement.
