AFRICOM: Withdrawal of Mercenaries Major Step for Libya
[LIBYAREVIEW] The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), renewed its call for the withdrawal of all mercenaries and foreign forces from Libya. It stressed that this would be a major step towards ensuring the stability of the country, according to several media outlets on Tuesday."We support diplomatic efforts to help ensure that Presidential and Parliamentary elections take place on December 24," AFRICOM said.

"We continue to work to degrade terrorist groups that pose threats not only to Libyan regional security, but also to the United States, and Europe," it added.

Earlier in November, AFRICOM announced its support for a political solution in Libya, and the withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries.

In a statement, AFRICOM reiterated its support for the US Department of State’s efforts aiming to ensure the holding of the upcoming Presidential elections in Libya on 24 December. The elections are seen as an essential step towards normality, after nearly a decade of war affecting the country.

Regarding ’IS’ published photos, showing its members in the Libyan desert in mid-October, AFRICOM confirmed that it will continue its work to weaken the capacity of all terrorist groups in the country. It stated that these not only pose a threat to regional security but also affect the United States and Europe.
ISIS crowding Al Qaeda on another battlefield? Yay.
Notably, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) announced that a batch of 140 Syrian mercenaries left Libya for Syria, via The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
on Tuesday.
Finally allowed by their masters to decamp? Good. Maybe they’ll even get their promised pay.
According to SOHR sources, the returning mercenaries belong to the Sultan Murad and al-Hamza militias, as well as various other groups.

On 2 November, about 150 mercenaries were sent to Libya through Turkey, after the resumption of the mercenary exchange process, the SOHR said.

It said on 10 October a new batch of about 100 Syrian mercenaries who had been sent to Libya, arrived in Syria through Turkey. The batch comprised fighters who were transported to Libya in 2019, SOHR claimed. Accordingly, the total number of mercenaries returned to Syria in less than a week had risen to nearly 520.

Islamic State group claims responsibility for Kampala bombings
[MONITOR.CO.UG] 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 grabbed credit for a twin suicide kaboom on Tuesday in the Ugandan capital Kampala that killed three people and left several others maimed.

IS, which said three jacket wallahs took part, with one attack targeting the central cop shoppe and another aimed at parliament, made the claim in a statement on its Telegram channels.

Police foiled a third attack, recovering an improvised bomb from the home of an alleged suicide bomber who was shot and injured, and were in pursuit of other members of the group, police front man Fred Enanga said.

Ugandan police have blamed a "domestic terror group" linked to the Allied Democratic Forces
...the ADF is one of several murderous Moslem groups in NE Congo. In 2019 the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on them for the usual reasons. They don't appear to be affiliated with al-Qaeda or Islamic State, though ISIS claims their work from time to time — they just like killing infidels....
(ADF) for the attacks, an armed force active in neighbouring eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material...
In April 2019, IS began to claim some ADF attacks on social media, presenting the group as its regional branch -- the Islamic State Central Africa Province, or ISCAP.

"Uganda is one of the nations participating in the war against IS in Central Africa," the IS message read.

In March this year the United States officially linked the ADF to IS.

The attacks follow two blasts last month -- a bus explosion near Kampala that maimed many people and a bombing at a roadside eatery in the capital that killed one woman.

Police said both of those explosions were carried out by the ADF.

Uganda has also blamed the group for a foiled kaboom in August on the funeral of an army commander who led a major offensive against al-Shabaab

hard boyz in Somalia.

The ADF, historically a Ugandan rebel group, has been accused of killing thousands of civilians in eastern DRC.

The ADF is considered by experts to be the bloodiest of more than 120 gangs that roam eastern DRC, many of them a legacy of two regional wars a quarter of a century ago.

In 2010, twin bombings in Kampala targeting fans watching the World Cup final left 76 people dead, with al-Shabaab claiming responsibility.

The attack was seen as Dire Revenge for Uganda sending troops to Somalia as part of an African Union

Suspected M23 rebel arrested in Uganda with two guns
[MONITOR.CO.UG] Security officials in Kisoro District in western Uganda have recovered two SMG rifles from a suspected M23 rebel who claimed to be a Burundian national following his arrest on Wednesday.
The M23 rebellion was an armed conflict in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), that occurred between the March 23 Movement and government forces. The rebellion was part of continued fighting in the region after the formal end of the Second Congo War in 2003. It broke out in 2012 and continued into 2013, when a peace agreement was made among eleven African nations, and the M23 troops surrendered in Uganda.

In April 2012, former National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP) soldiers mutinied against the DRC government and the peacekeeping contingent of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). Mutineers formed a rebel group called the March 23 Movement (M23), also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army. It was composed of former members of the rebel CNDP, and allegedly sponsored by the government of the neighbouring states of Rwanda and Uganda.

The Kisoro Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Mr Peter Mugisha confirmed the arrest of the suspect and the recovery of the two guns but declined to give details of the suspect due to fears that it could jeopardize security investigations.

"The operation was mounted by the police and army officers in Kisoro town around the bus terminal. Two SMG rifles with 30 rounds of ammunition each, were recovered from a suspected M23 rebel who was trying to enter into one of the Kampala-bound buses. The suspect told the security team that he sneaked into Uganda through a mostly non-existent border point around Basanza Sub County in Kisoro District, although he did not mention the motive of smuggling guns into Uganda," Mr Peter Mugisha said.

Security officials were still interrogating the suspect by the time of filing this report, according to the RDC.

The arrest comes one week after M23 rebels raided the Congolese government security bases in Rutshuru District forcing hundreds of Congolese nationals to flee into Uganda through Bunagana border post in Kisoro District.

Mr Mugisha said they had deployed a security team to thoroughly check the luggage of passengers before they are loaded into the buses and other public transport vehicles.

He appealed to residents to report any armed foreigner seen in their communities to the security officials and also be vigilant.

"Because of the kabooms in Kampala, we have also stepped up security at our border posts with Rwanda (Chyanika) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material...
at Bunagana to ensure that wrong elements do not enter our country undetected," Mr Mugisha said.

Arabia
U.S. and GCC states accuse Iran and ''its proxies'' of using drones against civilians
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

The U.S. and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states condemned "the range of aggressive and dangerous Iranian policies, including the proliferation and direct use of advanced ballistic missiles and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS-drones). These weapons have been used by Iran
...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
or its proxies in hundreds of attacks against civilians and critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
and civilian merchant seamen in international waters of the Sea of Oman, and endangered American troops combatting ISIS."

The U.S. and GCC member states agreed that "Iran’s nuclear program is of grave concern, as Iran has taken steps for which it has no civilian need but that would be important to a nuclear weapons program, and also called for Iran to fully cooperate with the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)."

The meeting discussed a wide range of regional issues, including the situation in Iraq and 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...
, and agreed that Iran’s support to "armed militias across the region and its ballistic missile program pose a clear threat to regional security and stability."

They further agreed to hold subsequent meetings of this working group to discuss these and other issues within its terms of reference adopted in its inaugural meeting on 3 November 2015.

Britain
Day 4: Liverpool terror blast planned for 'at least' 7 months
Day 3 is here, and has links to the previous days’ posts. The Daily Mail is also calling him the Poppy Day bomber.
[AlAhram] The man who died in a botched kaboom in the northern English city of Liverpool on Sunday had planned the blast for at least seven months, police said Wednesday.

Iraq-born Emad Al Swealmeen, 32, rented a property in the city in April and had made "relevant purchases" for his bomb since "at least" that time, said Russ Jackson, who heads counter-terrorism policing in northwest England.

Al Swealmeen's improvised device went off in the back of a taxi outside a Liverpool hospital moments before Britannia marked Remembrance Sunday last weekend.

He was killed in the fireball, while the quick-thinking taxi driver escaped with minor injuries after reportedly locking Al Swealmeen inside his cab.

"A complex picture is emerging over the purchases of the component parts of the device, we know that Al Swealmeen rented the property from April this year and we believe relevant purchases have been made at least since that time," said Jackson.

"We have now traced a next of kin for Al Swealmeen who has informed us that he was born in Iraq."

The failed asylum seeker suffered from bouts of mental illness that will "form part of the investigation and will take some time to fully understand" said Jackson.

Al Swealmeen was taken in by Elizabeth and Malcolm Hitchcott, a Christian volunteer couple in Liverpool, for eight months from 2017 as his appeal for refugee status played out.

Malcolm Hitchcott told ITV News that Al Swealmeen spent time in a mental institution after being arrested with a knife in an incident in central Liverpool.

CONVERSION QUESTIONS
The Times newspaper reported that the improvised device contained TATP -- the same explosive favoured by 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 that was used in the 2015 Gay Paree attacks and the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017.

The blast was the second terror-inspired attack in Britannia in the last month, after a British MP was stabbed to death as he met constituents in southeast England in October.

The two incidents prompted the government on Monday to raise the terror threat level from "substantial" to "severe" -- the second-highest -- meaning an attack was "highly likely".

It has also brought Britannia's asylum policy under scrutiny, at a time when London is seeking to tighten its borders, particularly against migrants colonists crossing from La Belle France over the Channel.

Home Secretary Priti Patel said Al Swealmeen had been able to exploit Britannia's "dysfunctional" immigration system and stay in the country, despite having been rejected for asylum, British media reported.

His conversion to Christianity has also prompted discussion about whether some asylum seekers were using the process to bolster their case to stay in Britannia.

Liverpool Cathedral, where Al Swealmeen was baptised in 2015 and confirmed in 2017, said it had "robust processes" in place to determine a person's "genuine commitment".
The Liverpool hospital bomber spent seven months experimenting with different explosives while plotting his attack, it emerged last night.

Emad Al Swealmeen, 32, started building a bomb factory at a rented bedsit as early as April, according to police.

Traces detected at the property show he bought a range of chemicals capable of making more than one type of explosive, including one used by the 7/7 London bombers.

Detectives are trying to untangle a ’complex picture’ of chemical purchases made both online and in shops.

Armed police raided the bomb factory in the Sefton Park area of Liverpool shortly after Al Swealmeen accidentally went kaboom! at Liverpool Women’s Hospital on Remembrance Sunday.

The next day, bomb disposal officers carried out a controlled explosion in the park, and Rutland Avenue, where the explosives factory was located, remains closed off.

Yesterday afternoon officers also extended a cordon around Sutcliffe Street in Kensington, central Liverpool, where Al Swealmeen is thought to have lived.

Officers from the bomb squad were on the scene and a counter-terror police front man said several suspicious packages had been found.

Residents were ordered to stay indoors and others forbidden from returning to their homes. They were instead directed to a nearby primary school for shelter.

Forensic tests are still being carried out on the taxi which went kaboom! with Al Swealmeen inside. It was confirmed last night that he died of injuries sustained in the blast and from the subsequent fire.

Giving an update last night, Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson said Iraqi-born Al Swealmeen started buying chemicals in April, or even earlier.

Security sources said there was little to suggest the Christian convert was ideologically motivated — one theory is that he suffered a mental health crisis possibly triggered by his failure to win asylum.

He had been sectioned in 2015 after being arrested for waving a large knife and threatening to kill himself by jumping off a bridge in Liverpool city centre.

Al Swealmeen, who wanted to be a pizza chef, also spoke to church leaders about suffering from depression.

A shopkeeper told the Mail he was ’obviously not right in the head’ and described how the motor racing fan, who adopted the name Enzo Almeni after the Ferrari legend, had threatened with a knife one of his staff staying at the same hostel.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Casualties, wounded reported among Azerbaijani, Armenian soldiers
[NPASYRIA] On Wednesday, Azerbaijan announced the killing of seven of its soldiers during battles against the Armenian soldiers near the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave.

Azerbaijan Defense Ministry said, in a statement, that ten other soldiers were maimed during the battles.

This battles are the fiercest since the last year war between Armenia and Azerbaijan has ended with the latter taking control over the enclave.

"Fatalities and maimed" among Armenian forces were reported and Azeri forces had captured several Armenian troops as well as "two military positions," La Belle France Press cited Armenia’s defense ministry as saying yesterday.

The Armenian forces have lost control over two military posts.

Yerevan announced a truce with her opponent, Baku, after Russian mediation.

Meanwhile,
...back at the alley, Slats grabbed for his rosco...
Defense Minister of the Russia, Sergei Shoigu, made two separate phone calls, yesterday, with his Azerbaijani and Armenian counterparts calling on them to stop actions provoking further escalation of the situation between the two countries.

Nagorno-Karabakh, known as Artsakh, is a mountainous region officially recognized as part of Azerbaijan, though it has a predominately Armenian population and is a de facto independent country which calls itself the Republic of Artsakh. The last year fighting in late September 2020 is the fiercest since the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Artsakh’s declaration of its autonomy from Azerbaijan.

Direct Translation via Google Translation Edited.
[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don today sentenced a resident of Dagestan Elvin Agadadashev to 11 years in a strict regime colony, having found him guilty of preparing an attack on police officers and participating in a terrorist organization.

Elvin Agadadashev, a 34-year-old resident of Kaspiysk, was accused of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization, facilitating terrorist activities, attempting to organize an illegal armed group, illegal arms and ammunition trafficking, and preparing to encroach on the lives of law enforcement officials.

"It has been established that since December 2019, the defendant, while in Kaspiysk in the Republic of Dagestan, was preparing to take part in the activities of the banned international terrorist organization Islamic State," the press service of the Southern District Military Court told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Agadadashev also suggested that two acquaintances create an illegal armed group and attack police officers, but they refused, the court noted.

"The defendant planned to take the life of the police officers in Kaspiysk by hitting a car and using a prepared ax and knife," the press service explained.

Also in 2017, Agadadashev received a pistol and cartridges for it from an acquaintance, with them he was detained on February 6, 2020, they said in court.

The verdict has not entered into legal force and can be appealed by the parties in the Military Court of Appeal.

The criminal case against Agadadashev came to court on October 26, 2020, hearings on the merits began in December, the process took about 20 sessions, follows from the file on the website of the Southern District Military Court.

A military court upholds the verdict of a resident of Stavropol for recruitment to IS
[KavkazUzel] The Military Court of Appeal upheld the sentence of Ikboljon Shamshidinov, a resident of the Stavropol Territory, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for recruiting friends into the ranks of the terrorist organizations Islamic State and Dzhebhat al-Nusra banned in Russia.

As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on August 26, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don appointed 10 years in a strict regime colony for Ikbolzhon Shamshidinov, a resident of the Stavropol Territory, accused of justifying terrorism and recruiting two acquaintances into the ranks of the Islamic State."

Nevertheless, the collegium of the Military Court of Appeal in the Moscow Region today also found Shamshidinov guilty and upheld the verdict of the Southern District Military Court unchanged, a court official told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

The "Caucasian Knot" had no comments from Ikbolzhon Shamshidinov and his representatives regarding the court's decision.

A complaint against Shamshidinov's verdict was received on October 21, it follows from the file on the website of the Military Court of Appeal.

Recall, according to the investigation, Shamshidinov in 2019, while in Stavropol, "using his mobile phone, posted video files on social networks created and administered by him, justifying and promoting terrorism." In addition, in 2020, Shamshidinov "repeatedly, in personal communication and using the group he created in the messenger, by persuasion and sending video and audio recordings, persuaded two of his friends to take part in the activities of international banned terrorist organizations" in Syria, the investigation said.

#3  There to deplatform anyone filming or taking pictures no doubt.

Not much really. In both cases, the victims have thrown sand at mailed Brussels.

I have no idea what a cum dumpster might be. Please do not enlighten me, dear Reader — it doesn’t sound worth adding to my vocabulary.

#1  Not a "police person" to be seen in this rats nest of media and commies. Have they all been fired?

#2  Such spewings were better ignored
Though adored by that worrisome horde
Who would suck on a thumb --
No "cartoon" was too dumb! --
Um, as over old Hustlers they pored.

#3  Kenosha is basically green-lighting riots with the lack of pre-emptive show of force here. There are already pallets of bricks showing up in various places. If we had an FBI worthy of the name, they would already be tracing those back to the financers for RICO (and arresting the footsoldiers who are being used willfully as patsys). Go far enough up, and you'll see Soros tentacles in there I bet.

Its a shame we have a gutless mayor, cowardly police chief, and corrupt FBI.

#4  This prosecutor has trashed the process and the defendant's rights repeatedly. The refusal of the mayor and his police force, as well as the governor, to suppress rioting and mayhem has given us mob rule.

In this ongoing ordeal we have seen this rampaging mob at times include, and seek to defend the behavior of, a parade of psychopaths, violent felons every one, including child rapists and multiple characters who battered and even threatened to kill their own relatives and who set dozens of cars on fire and were in the process of blowing up a gas station in a residential neighborhood.

Where will we find justice?
When does this nightmare end?

The Democrats lied and cheated and stole their way to forcing OrangeMan out of the White House. You got your way, you f--kers. So why is this terror continuing? How much longer will we tolerate it?

#5  Problem is, if you fight back then all of a sudden the police show up all of a sudden to stop antifa fro getting their asses stomped. Then guess who all of a sudden becomes relevant again, the DOJ.

#6  Consider the possibility that violence is needed while an apparent acquittal is stalled by a couple of jurors either afraid for their homes or ideologically committed to preventing justice for political reasons. So you get violence and a repeat of the civil disorder and poof - (From the Conservative Treehouse this morning) the Federal DoJ:

"The DOJ-CRS is the least known quasi-legislatively approved agency within the justice department. The CRS is the Community Relations Service, and is a very secret division within the DOJ civil rights unit. The activity of the CRS is rarely discussed, but essentially the agency is authorized to reach into any court proceeding, local, state or federal, and modify/guide the proceedings under the auspices of maintaining national racial harmony."

Imagine then a superseding, directed verdict of guiltyu to promote racial harmony. The footprint of the Imperial Presidency revealed?
Posted by: NoMoreBS || 11/18/2021 11:54 Comments || Top||

#7  Judge Schroeder appears to be taking the highly unusual step of waiting for the verdict before he rules on the mistrial motion.

Which seems to indicate he's hoping (praying?) the jury acquits, but will declare a mistrial if they instead are hung by s.t. like 10-2.

What will our Democrat Armed Revolutionary Wing do in that case? Nationwide festivities?

What will Ferret and Brandon do them? What "civil rights" charges will be ginned up?

Will their Stasi start to move in on gun owners nationally?

#9  Not the Bee. For real:

BREAKING

MSNBC producer stalks jury bus and runs red light. Claims he was instructed to follow the jury bus; gets ticketed for traffic violation -- it's now under investigation.

Judge Schroeder says no one from MSNBC will be allowed in the courthouse for he rest of the trial.

#10  Are Ferret's S[tasi]-men now coordinating with their media lackeys to stalk the jurors?

More seek & leak tricks that result in faux "news" + political persecution?

Or are they moving beyond this, taking it to the next level, with "direct action" against "white supremacist" jurors?

India-Pakistan
Cleaning up the inside rot: The importance of gunning down Kashmir’s white collared terrorists
[OneIndia] A white collared terrorist was among the four persons killed in an encounter at Hyderpora in Jammu and Kashmir
...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....
on Tuesday.

The Indian Army said that Dr. Mudasir, a white collared terrorist was operating a fake unauthorised call centre.

Iraqi forces start operation against ISIS in Hamrin Mountain
[NPASYRIA] On Wednesday, the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF-Hashd al-Shaabi) announced it started a second security operation to fight 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....
organization (ISIS) in the vicinity of Hamrin lake within Iraq’s eastern governorate Diyala."Diyala Operation Command began a security operation from four axes east of the Hamrin lake in the mountains Qizil Ribat area," PMF’s media said in a statement.

The operation aims to chase members of ISIS, search and secure the area, according to the statement.

On November 13, the Iraqi forces concluded a security operation from eight axes in Aisha military camp, the area between Baghdad-Kirkuk and Qarah Tabbah road in the Hamrin mountain. ISIS fighters used to shelter in Aisha military camp in Diyala governorate.

150 km was inspected and cleared, 14 hideouts containing logistic supplies as well as a tunnel were destroyed, and a case containing bombs, equipment to dig tunnels and medical supplies belonging to ISIS were seized.
Rudaw adds:
Two ISIS officials were arrested in Nineveh on Tuesday night, according to Security Media Cell.
More in this tweet, for those who can read Arabic. But it’s singularly uninformative for those, like me, who don’t.
On Sunday, Iraqi security forces concluded a two-day operation in the Hamrin mountain range where they destroyed 18 ISIS hideouts and seized rockets, equipment, and other explosives.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
ISIS claims killing government-backed militias in Syria's Deir ez-Zor
[NPASYRIA] On Wednesday, 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....
organization (ISIS) claimed the responsibility for killing 16 members of the Syrian government-backed National Defense Forces (NDF) in the al-Masrab desert in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

ISIS murderous Moslems ambushed a patrol of the NDF on November 13 and killed 16 of them, the Amaq News Agency, which is close to ISIS, said.

Among the dead was Abdussattar al-Sha’eiti, commander of the Lions of the East Army (Arabic: Usud al-Sharqiya) of the government forces, who came from the town of al-Kishkiyah in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, a source, who declined to be named, said at the time.

The attack was carried out by bombs targeting one of the vehicles of the faction.

ISIS, through media close to it, said the reason for the attack was the participation of the Usud al-Sharqiya in the fighting against it in the areas of Deir ez-Zor.

On November 6, a leader of an Iranian-backed armed faction was killed as his vehicle was attacked near al-Tebni town in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.

On October 4, ISIS murderous Moslems killed five members of the Iranian-backed factions in the Syrian Badia in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor, and captured others.

On August 21, five murderous Moslems of Iranian-backed factions were killed and eight others were captured in an ISIS ambush in the town of al-Duwair, east of Deir ez-Zor.

Since the eruption of the events in Syria in 2011, Iran
...The nation is 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...
has officially announced its support to the Syrian government and sent its militias to support government forces in their war against factions of the Syrian opposition.

Iran supported and formed military factions, which are working to fulfill Iran’s ambition in Syria, the most prominent of these factions are National Defense Forces (NDF), Liwa Fatemiyoun, Hashemiyoun and Liwa Zainebiyoun.

Iran continues the process of recruiting Syrian murderous Moslems within the ranks of factions affiliated with it through attracting them by offers, and extorting the deteriorating economic conditions that Syria is witnessing.

There are about 30 recruiting centers deploying in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, west of the Euphrates River, most of them were houses belonging to residents that were seized by Iranian-backed factions under the pretext that their owners are residing in areas held by either Syrian Democratic Forces or opposition factions.
