The bodies of 28 migrants have washed up on Libya’s western coast after their boat sunk, a security official says, the latest tragedy on the world’s deadliest migration route.https://t.co/JMhEYvCoD5
[BBC] Officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo say at least six people have died in a suicide bomb attack on a crowded restaurant in the eastern city of Beni.
Police prevented the bomber from entering the building, but he blew himself up at the entrance killing himself and five other people.
Another 13 people were injured.
The officials blamed Saturday's attack on the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a militant group said to be linked to the so-called Islamic State (IS).
So far no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
More than 30 people were celebrating Christmas at the In Box restaurant when the bomb went off, two witnesses told AFP news agency.
"I was sitting there," local radio presenter Nicolas Ekila told AFP. "There was a motorbike parked there. Suddenly the motorbike took off, then there was a deafening noise."
There have been frequent clashes in Beni between the army and Islamists in recent weeks.
In November, Congolese and Ugandan forces began a joint operation against the ADF in an attempt to end a series of brutal attacks.
Authorities in Uganda say the group is behind a series of recent attacks in the country, including in the capital Kampala.
The militant group was formed in the 1990s by Ugandans disgruntled with the government's treatment of Muslims, but it was routed from western Uganda and its remnants fled across the border to DR Congo.
It established itself in the eastern DR Congo and has been blamed for thousands of civilian killings there over the past decade, including in attacks on Christians.
In March the US put the ADF on its list of terror groups linked to IS. For its part, IS says the ADF is an affiliate. The original 'Endless War.'
No fewer than six people, including a police officer’s wife, were kidnapped, when bandidos invaded Wusasa community in the Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Christmas night.
SaharaReporters had reported that the incident happened on Saturday night close to Kuregu Wusasa, opposite New ECWA church.
A source in the area had told SaharaReporters on Sunday that the suspected bandidos stormed the area with arms and ammunition, whisking away five persons.
It was further revealed that the bandidos struck around 10:30 pm and went from house to house.
It was learnt that the wife of a policeman, his daughter and four others were kidnapped, according to Daily Trust.
The report said Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KadVS) later responded to a distress call put across to them but the bandidos were already on their way out with the victims.
"As they (KadVS) arrived and engaged the bandidos in a gun duel, they (bandidos) bravely ran away with the victims, it was later realised that the victims were from three different houses in the Wusasa area," the newspaper quoted a source as saying.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... ’s government declared two days of mourning starting on Sunday after 41 people died in an attack by suspected murderous Moslems in the troubled north."The search mission in the area of an ambush by armed terrorist groups... has established a toll of 41 bodies. The president decrees national mourning of 48 hours," said a government statement issued on Saturday evening.
The government said the dead included members of an official self-defense force known as the Volunteers for the Defense of the Motherland (VDP), set up to support the army.
Volunteers receive 14 days of training and are then sent out on patrols and surveillance missions, equipped with light arms.
Among the victims of Thursday’s attack was Ladji Yoro, considered a leader of the VDP in Burkina Faso, the statement said.
"The identification of the victims is still underway," said the government statement.
According to local media, the ambush targeted a convoy of traders escorted by VDP near Ouahigouya, a town not far from the Mali border.
The attack was the deadliest since mid-November when 57 people,including 53 gendarmes, were killed.
Like its neighbors Mali and Niger, Burkina Faso has been caught up in a spiral of violence since 2015, attributed to armed jihadist groups affiliated to al-Qaeda and 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.... bully boy group.
The fighting has left at least 2,000 people dead and 1.4 million displaced.

[AlAhram] Clashes between 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... i government forces and the country's Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebels attacking the key central city of Marib killed a senior military commander on Monday, officials said.
The development is a big blow to the forces of Yemen's internationally recognized government, which have been fighting for months against the Iranian-backed Houthis' attempt to take Marib. The Houthis launched an offensive earlier this year on the city in an effort to complete their control over the northern half of Yemen.
Maj. Gen. Nasser al-Zubiani, who headed military operations of the government's armed forces, was killed on the front line in the Balaq mountain range, south of the city of Marib, said the two officials, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Al-Zubiani was inspecting government troops and allied tribal fighters trying to stave off the Houthi attack at the time. Government forces had earlier advanced a few kilometers (miles) following fierce battles south of the city, one of the officials said.
The rebels stepped up attacks on Marib in recent weeks, sending waves of fighters to try and breach government defenses. Hundreds died in the festivities, mostly rebels, the official added.
A Saudi-led coalition, which is fighting on the side of the government forces, said it launched at least 35 Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on rebel positions around Marib over the weekend, killing at least 200 Houthis. At least three more airstrikes hit the rebels in Yemen's western coast, it said.
The Houthi offensive on Marib came as they suffered blows elsewhere in the country. Last month, government forces took the district of Hays and a major highway linking the contested port city of Hodeida with the rebel-held capital of Sanaa.
[AlAhram] The Saudi-led coalition fighting in 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... said Sunday it struck a Huthi rebel camp in the capital Sanaa, as it intensified an aerial bombing campaign against the Iran-backed holy warriors.
The coalition, which backs Yemen's internationally recognised government against the Huthis in a civil war, said it destroyed weapons storehouses in the rebel-held capital, according to the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
"The operation in Sanaa was an immediate response to an attempt to transfer weapons from al-Tashrifat camp in Sanaa," it said in a statement, adding it "destroyed weapons warehouses".
The coalition is scheduled to hold a news conference on Sunday at which it has said it will show evidence of involvement by Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...a formerly French, now an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. ... 's Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in the Yemeni conflict.
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... has long accused Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... of supplying the Huthis with sophisticated weapons and its Hezbollah proxy of training the holy warriors, charges the Islamic republic denies.
The coalition launched a "large-scale" military operation against the Huthis on Saturday, the Saudi authorities said, after missiles fired by the rebels killed two people in the kingdom, the first such deaths in three years.
Those air raids left dead three civilians, including a child and a woman, Yemeni medics told AFP.
The coalition maintains its operations are carried out in accordance with international humanitarian law, repeatedly urging the Huthis against using civilians as human shields.
It said it will present during Sunday's news conference "evidence of involvement of Lebanon's terrorist Hezbollah in Yemen and use of (Sanaa) airport to target the kingdom", according to SPA.
The coalition has intensified its air strikes on Sanaa, targeting earlier this week the airport, whose operations have largely ceased because of a Saudi-led blockade since August 2016, with exemptions for aid flights.
Meanwhile, ...back at the saw mill, Scarface Al had tied Little Nell to the log and was about to turn on the buzz saw... the murderous Moslems often launch missiles and drones into Saudi Arabia, targeting its airports and oil infrastructure.
The UN estimates Yemen's war will have claimed 377,000 lives by the end of the year through both direct and indirect impacts.

[REGNUM] The 60-year-old French citizen of Syrian origin was accused of supplying components for chemical weapons to Syria by French justice. This was reported on December 26 by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
According to the agency, the accused is the owner of a shipping company residing abroad. He was detained in the south of France, after which he was transferred to Paris in custody. Here the suspect was charged with involvement in war crimes and "conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity."
Recall that the UN Security Council resolution on the destruction of chemical weapons in Syria was adopted in 2013. During the next year, 2014, 1,200 tons of chemical warfare agents were removed from Syria and destroyed. Nine countries took part in the operation. Russia was one of them.
Earlier IA REGNUM reported that the European Union extended the sanctions regime for the use of chemical weapons proposed by the UK and France after the attacks in Syria and British Salisbury.

He is very lucky. Frequently they take the ransom money and shoot the hostage in the head anyway.
[SHAFAQ] A fourth group of Iraqi nationals will be transferred from al-Hol camp in the northeastern Syrian city of al-Hasakeh to al-Jadaa camp in Nineveh this week, a former member of the Iraqi Parliament, Sherwan al-Dubardani, said on Sunday.
Al-Dubardani said in a statement earlier today that the rehabilitation center, in reference to al-Jadaa camp, will receive a fourth group of ISIS murderous Moslems' families.
The new group is expected to arrive by Thursday, he added.
Since May, many hundreds of relatives of suspected ISIS members were moved in groups from al-Hol camp in northeast Syria into al-Jadaa camps amid widespread discontent from the administration and people of the governorate.
