Senior Al-Shabaab commander surrenders in Somalia - military
[Garowe] In the middle of the ongoing al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
attacks in Somalia, a senior member of the al-Qaeda linked group surrendered over the weekend to government soldiers as the country struggles to contain violent mostly peaceful extremism that is entering its 16th year.

The government troops have intensified a crackdown against the bully boyz in the Southwest region where the bully boyz have been waging persistent attacks against civilians, security forces, and senior government officials.

State-owned Radio Mogadishu, citing unnamed military officials reported that a senior Somali National Army [SNA] official said a seasoned bad boy who had been behind attacks within Baidoa, the regional administrative capital of Southwest, surrendered to the national army.

Although his name was not immediately made public, it is believed the bad boy has been coordinating attacks on behalf of al-Shabaab in the region for the last five years. In the past few years, a number of bully boyz have been surrounding the government.

For the last one week, al-Shabaab bully boyz have killed over 60 people mainly civilians and security forces. In Mogadishu, ten people died following a kaboom at the airport while at Beletwyene, over 50 people died.

Reports from Beledweyne indicate hundreds of those who were maimed are yet to be treated after hospitals were badly damaged. At Af-Urur village in the Bari region of Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
, over 12 al-Shabaab bully boyz and four soldiers died during the exchange of fire.

Al-Shabaab has heightened attacks during the busy electoral calendar in Somalia, with the US blaming politics for the latest incidents. A number of people also believe some of the attacks were targeting politicians including Amina Mohammed Abdi, an MP who was killed last week.

Security forces kill 4 terrorists in North Waziristan IBO: ISPR
[Dawn] Security forces killed four turbans during an intelligence-based operation in the area of Jhallar Fort in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's North Wazoo district on the night between March 27 and March 28, the military's media affairs wing said on Monday.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was conducted on the basis of the reported presence of turbans in the Jhallar Fort's general area.

While the operation was under way, four bad boyz were potted during an intense exchange of fire, the statement said, adding that one of the turbans had been identified as Zar Saadullah.

The "identification of the remaining turbans is in progress," the statement said.

It added that weapons and ammunition were found in the possession of the killed terrorists, who were "actively involved in terrorism activities against security forces".

"Locals of the area appreciated the operation and expressed their full support to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the area," the statement read.

The incident comes just days after four soldiers were martyred in North Waziristan's Hassan Khel area during an exchange of fire with turbans who had attempted to infiltrate Pakistain from Afghanistan.

The ISPR had said at the time that the terrorist's attempt was foiled and according to intelligence reports, they had "suffered heavy casualties".

Grenade blast in Shopian, no casualty
[GREATERKASHMIR] Militants on Monday evening hurled a grenade on a SOG camp in Imam Sahib area of south 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....
’s Shopian district.

Quoting a top police officer, news agency GNS reported that the grenade however missed the intended target and went kaboom! on the roadside.

No one loss of life or injury was reported in the incident as per the report.

The area has been cordoned off to nab the fleeing murderous Moslems.

Shin Bet, cops to round up terror convicts with IS links in wave of arrests — TV
[IsraelTimes] Officials estimate some 20-30 sleeper cells loyal to jihadist group exist in Israel; Interior Minister Shaked said to look into stripping loyalists of their citizenship

The Shin Bet and police were expected throughout Monday night to begin rounding up former terror convicts with 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....
links and those investigated for suspected connections to the jihadist group, a day after two coppers were killed in a shooting attack by two Islamic State supporters who were Israeli citizens.

Syria’s Hawl Camp witnesses security alert, reports of ISIS rebellion


Late on Monday, a security source told North Press that the Hawl Camp, east of Hasakah, northeastern Syria, has witnessed a security alert following a rebellion by ISIS sleeper cells inside the camp.

The source added that clashes with medium and light weapons erupted between the security forces and the ISIS cells within the fourth and fifth divisions of the camp.

He pointed out that an ISIS member was killed during the clashes, and the camp is witnessing firing now and intense flight of the US-led Global Coalition aircraft over the camp.

In early March, a high-ranking security source told North Press that they had received intelligence information that ISIS was preparing to take full control of the Hawl Camp.

Meanwhile, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) suspended their activities within the camp for tomorrow, as a result of the security situation within the overcrowded camp.

Iran struck Iraq target over gas talks involving Israel
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A nascent plan for Iraq’s Kurdistan region to supply gas to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
- with Israeli help - is part of what angered 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...
into striking the Kurdish capital Erbil with ballistic missiles this month, Iraqi and Ottoman Turkish officials say.The March 13 attack on Erbil came as a shock to officials throughout the region for its ferocity, and was a rare publicly declared assault by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The IRGC said the strike hit Israeli "strategic centers" in Erbil and was retaliation for an Israeli air raid that killed two of its members in Syria.

The choice of target, however, baffled many officials and analysts. Most of the 12 missiles hit the villa of a Kurdish businessman involved in the autonomous Kurdistan region’s energy sector.
The gentleman is Baz Karim Barzanji, or possibly Baz Karim Barzinji.
Iraqi and Ottoman Turkish officials who spoke to Rooters on condition of anonymity this week said they believe the attack was meant as a multi-pronged message to US allies in the region - but that a key trigger was a plan to pump Kurdish gas into Turkey and Europe, with Israel’s involvement.

"There had been two recent meetings between Israeli and US energy officials and specialists at the villa to discuss shipping Kurdistan gas to Turkey via a new pipeline," an Iraqi security official said.

Iran’s foreign ministry and the IRGC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A senior Iranian security official told Rooters the attack was a "multi-purposed message to many people and groups. It’s up to them how to interpret it. Whatever (Israel) is planning, from energy sector to agriculture, will not materialize."
