[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The United States has repatriated to Algeria a man who was held at Guantanamo Bay for nearly two decades after being accused of conspiring with al-Qaeda, the Department of Defense said on Saturday.
The department identified the man as Sufiyan Barhoumi,
...more formally Sufyian Ibn Muhammad Barhoumi, the one-handed, accused Al Qaeda bomb maker captured in Faisalabad with a group of other accused Al Qaeda henchmen in the company of accused Al Qaeda “travel agent” Zayn Abdeen al Husseini, a.k.a. Abu Zubaydah. Mr. Barhoumi set himself to learn fluent English and perfect his soccer striking skills while charming his guards with his mediation skills...
a native of Algeria, and said his detention at the US military base was "no longer necessary."
Barhoumi arrived at Guantanamo Bay in 2002, the year the base’s detention camp was set up following a US-led invasion of Afghanistan in pursuit of the al-Qaeda network behind attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, the Pentagon and rural Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.

Interesting related Fact that Skidmark pointed out for us...
This claimed terrorist was held for 20 Years without a court trial for any crime.
Note: Stop and think about Jan. 6th handling tactics so far.
Under USA CONSTITUTIONAL LAW and I believe maybe even under UCMJ rules. Holding a person 20 years w/o trial is in direct violation of the Bill Of Rights 6th Amendment. The Sixth Amendment in part guarantees the right of criminal defendants to a speedy public trial without unnecessary delay.
Note: Once again think of the 50+ Jan. 6th Prisoners being held for over 1 year now with no trial.
According to a Human Rights Group...(for what that's worth) "Sufiyan Barhoumi: Charged in 2005 with conspiracy and material support, but the charges were dropped in 2006. He was charged again in 2008 with the same crimes, but these charges were dropped in 2009. Barhoumi was cleared for transfer out of the prison by the Guantanamo Periodic Review Board in 2016."
SOME MORE QUESTIONS:
Isn't holding a person w/o trial in a remote secret location for 20 years, what we call a Political Prisoner when it is done by another nation?
What is to keep the DC Deep State / PELOSI from doing this to the Jan. 6th protesters, if the LSD's "by hook or crook" survive the Mide-Terms and still have control?
What is to keep a slick HR Lawsuit Lawyer right now from filing a $Billion lawsuit over this?
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State on Friday in Abuja met President Muhammadu Buhari on security developments in his state following Monday night’s terror attack on an Abuja-Kaduna bound train.
SaharaReporters had reported how bandidoshard boyz bombed the Abuja-Kaduna train en route Rigasa with hundreds of passengers on-board.
During the attack, many passengers were kidnapped, others rubbed out and an unascertain number of the passengers also sustained various degrees of injury.
El-Rufai, who was sober about recent happenings in the state, told journalists that the President had reassured him that drastic measures would be taken to check the activities of bandidoshard boyz and bandidos in Kaduna and beyond.
The governor revealed that the attack on the train was carried out by Boko Haram ...Nigeerian Islamist group, formerly paying homage to al-Qaeda, then, when the money ran out, to the Islamic State, and headed by nutcase Abu Bakr Shekau. Once he exploded in a gunfight with ISWAP, many in the group surrendered to the govt and others went with their new overlords. The remainder are a shell of their former selves, stmbling glassy-eyed and lonely through the Sambisa Forest and the soothing waters of Lake Chad, asking themselves What is truth?, or maybe just I wonder what's for dinner? I hope it's not rhinocerous again! ... bandidoshard boyz in collaboration with some bandidos operating in Kaduna, Zamfara, Sokoto Niger, and Kebbi states.
He said security agencies have been making efforts to rescue victims of the attack from the hands of the kidnappers.
He said, "The President assured me that necessary steps would be taken on the matter and this thing will be brought to an end in a few months, and security agents are already carrying out surveillance around where these criminals are and, by the grace of God, they’ll be rounded up.
"But as you know, the government will always take precautionary measures to safeguard the lives of citizens, therefore, except the victims are rescued unhurt, the air force and ground troops will not be able to confront the criminals. So to avoid any colossal damage, the captives have to be freed first."
El-Rufai confirmed that the button men had contacted the families of their captives but are yet to request a ransom.
He said, "Well, the families of those kidnapped have been contacted while some of the captives themselves have called their loved ones, saying they’re doing well and they’re being taken care of. But the button men haven’t shown any sign of collecting ransom.
"These ones aren’t the usual kidnappers but members of Boko who are collaborating with bandidos.
"So we were thinking they’ll ask for a huge ransom from the state government, not the families of their victims. So far, they’ve asked for ransom from just one of the 5 families that were contacted.
"As far as the Kaduna State Government is concerned, we’ve not changed our stand on payment of ransom, so, even if they seek for that from us, we’ll not pay because we are not ready to do so."
[OneIndia] A woman identified as Hasina Akhtar from Baramulla was arrested after she was caught on camera hurling a bomb at a CRPF camp while wearing a burqa.
The police learnt that she had come in contact with the pro-Pakistain Asiya Andrabi who is already in jail for her role in a terror funding case. Hasina was already under the scanner for posting posters of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba in Handwara in 2021.
The arrest of Hasina only shows that terror groups which are facing immense heat from the security forces are recruiting women to carry out terror attacks, an official tells OneIndia.
The plan to set up women wings 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.... to undertake acts of terror is not a new concept. In 2013 the Intelligence Bureau had warned that the Lashkar-e-Tayiba was training women forces of Evil to carry out strikes. An all woman terror module called the Dukhtareen-e-Tayiba had been launched in Pakistain and the inputs gathered by the Indian agencies suggested that these women could be used to launch attacks on Indian soil.
A similar wing of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (Bangladesh) was also found. In these modules, women were asked specifically to prepare bombs. They would prepare the bombs in modules in Bengal and then transport them to Bangladesh.
The Dukhtareen-e-Tayiba floated by the Lashkar had trained around 70 women according to a report by the Intelligence Bureau. These women were being trained at Muzzafarabad and were all in the age group of 18 to 25.
The Dukhtareen-e-Tayiba, however, had roped in women only as fidayeens and none of them were being trained to be foot soldiers planting bombs. Each one of them were handpicked by the top brass of the Lashkar and trained.
Headed by Umi Ahmed the Dukhtareen-e-Tayiba has not been used to its full capacity as yet. This is a very key module for the Lashkar and it would be used first on a test basis on the border and later to launch strikes in India. For the Lashkar this is an important module and will give it the surprise element whenever it decides to launch it.
Hasina is part of the Laskhar's plans to further the women's module in Jammu and Kashmir. She is a 10 pass out from the Hanaifa School and had been arrested by the police in 2021. While in jail she had come in contact with Asiya Andrabi and after she came out on bail she worked as an over ground worker for the Lashkar-e-Tayiba.
"We have been noticing employing of women by terror group of late. Last year, two burka-clad women assisted forces of Evil in an attack on residential guard of a BJP worker in the outskirts of Srinagar city at Nowgam in which we lost one policeman. Some more such women are on police's radar and we have been handling with them professionally," Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar told news agency PTI.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Pak Prime Minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... suggested on Saturday that he might not accept a vote to oust him, a move he alleged was being orchestrated by the United States.
Opposition parties say Khan has failed to revive an economy battered by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic or fulfil promises to make his government more transparent and accountable, and have put forward a no-confidence motion due to be voted on Sunday.
"How can I accept the result when the entire process is discredited?" Khan told a select group of foreign journalists at his office.
"Democracy functions on moral authority - what moral authority is left after this connivance?"
"The move to oust me is blatant interference in domestic politics by the United States," he said, terming it an attempt at "regime change."
Khan, who has already lost his parliamentary majority after allies quit his coalition government and joined the opposition, urged his supporters to take to the streets on Sunday ahead of the vote.
Hours before he spoke, the head of the army, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, had said Pakistain wanted to expand its ties with Washington.
US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... has not called Khan since taking office, but the White House has denied that it is seeking to topple him.
Relations are strained in particular over Afghanistan, where Washington accused Pakistain of backing the successful Taliban ...Arabic for students... insurgency that led last year to a chaotic withdrawal of US and allied forces.
Yet while the government has pursued multi-billion dollar development deals with China, the United States’ strategic rival, the army appears keen not to jeopardize relations with Washington, which has in the past supplied it with billions of dollars in military aid.
Bajwa told a security conference in Islamabad that "we share a long history of excellent and strategic relationship with the United States, which remains our largest export market."
He noted that Pakistain had long enjoyed close diplomatic and business relationships with China, but added: "We seek to expand and broaden our ties with both countries without impacting our relations with the other."
The US Embassy in Islamabad did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

We have... projects. Some are in crucial stages. If the junta takes over, they might suffer setbacks. The contenders, Bilawal or the Sharifs would be actually beneficial for the country. Suffice to say we are not particularly interested in a stable Pakistain.

Noted. Please do not tell us more, as this is not a secure space.
I think a stable Pakistan would be better for the world, assuming the stability is healthy rather than continuing the current descent into Islamic fanaticism.
[IsraelTimes] Subterranean southern Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... passage uncovered in 2020 exhibited to the press for the first time by the soldier who went inside first
An Israel Defense Forces unit specializing in underground warfare revealed the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group’s deepest known tunnel to Israeli television in a report broadcast on Friday.

[IsraelTimes] Regional Cooperation Minister Esawi Frej met with US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in Washington, with the two discussing efforts to strengthen Israeli-Paleostinian economic ties in ways that will produce tangible improvements for the lives of Paleostinians while deepening Israel’s integration into the region, the State Department says.
Sherman also takes the opportunity to offer her condolences regarding the recent terror wave in Israel that took the lives of 11 people.
"They also spoke about efforts to expand normalization and the importance of building on normalization agreements to further progress on the Israeli-Paleostinian peace track," the state department says, with Sherman emphasizing the administration’s support for a two-state solution.
