#11  ^^^^^^^^ You spelled "NSAIDS" wrong; Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are members of a therapeutic drug class which reduces pain, decreases inflammation, decreases fever, and prevents blood clots. Side effects depend on the specific drug, its dose and duration of use, but largely include an increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds, heart attack, and kidney disease

Al-Shabaab executes six by firing squad in Somalia
[ShabelleMedia] al-Shabaab
...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them...
turbans have executed six people in a public area in Kunya Barrow district in the Lower Shabelle region, whom they accused of spying.

The six people were all men who the group said were spies for the United States and Somali government intelligence agencies and were sent to gather information.

In the square where the six people were shot were hundreds of people living in the area of ​​Kuunyo Barow, who watched the execution.

The men were identified as Dhikisow, Abdalla Nunow Abdulqadir, Mohammad Sheikhey barrow, and Hassan Omar Murjaan known as (Hassan Garre).

Al-Shabaab has carried out the execution of this kind in most of the areas under its control, against people it accuses of being spies for Somalia, the United States, Kenya, and the UK.

Africa Subsaharan
Nigeria: Gunmen kidnap Catholic nuns
[DW] Kidnappings for ransom have become increasingly common in Imo state. Members of the clergy are frequent targets.

Gunmen kidnapped four Catholic nuns in Nigeria's southeastern state of Imo, police said on Monday. The kidnapping is the latest violent mostly peaceful incident in the oil-producing region, where separatist tensions are on the rise.

Although kidnappings by criminal gangs have become common in Africa's most-populous country, members of Christian churches have increasingly been targeted in recent weeks.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE KIDNAPPING?
The four nuns were taken from a vehicle while traveling to Mass, police told news hounds, a further sign that highways in remote parts of Nigeria have become increasingly unsafe.

Police said no group had grabbed credit for the abduction nor made a ransom demand. Most hostages are released after payment, but some have been killed.

In the southeast, the increase in armed violence has been blamed on separatists known as the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group or its armed wing, ESN. The IPOB has categorically denied being involved.

The uptick in violence has seen 100 coppers and other security personnel killed since the beginning of last year. Prisons have also been raided, freeing scores of prisons and leaving troves of weapons unaccounted for.

Kidnappings for ransom have also become frequent in Nigeria's northwest. Last year, there were at least ten mass kidnappings at regional schools. This has prompted the military to launch an air offensive against the armed gangs active in the region.

Europe
Swedish police defuse bomb found at outdoor concert
[An Nahar] Swedish police defused an bomb found at an outdoor culture festival in central Stockholm at the weekend after evacuating hundreds of people from the area, police said Monday.

The bomb squad was called in on Sunday evening after an abandoned bag was found in the Kungstradgarden park in the city center, where various musical and theatre events were being held.

"The bomb squad neutralized the device at the scene", police said in a statement, adding: "Police believe that the bag ... contained an explosive charge".

"All of the components will now be examined. Only after that will we be able to say if the dangerous object was functional", a Stockholm district police chief, Erik Akerlund, said in the statement.

Police have opened a preliminary inquiry into destruction of public property. They have spoken to witnesses and were studying "extensive camera and video material" from the scene, he said.
Deutsche Welle adds:
The five-day Stockholm Culture Festival ended Sunday with a concert by Iranian pop singer Ebi, whose real name is Ebrahim Hamedi and who is a known Iranian dissident.

Explosive detonated after being discovered in federal courthouse in W.Virginia UPDATE: ‘Twere all fakes, and now the miscreant is arrested
[NYPOST] An bomb exploded in a federal courthouse early Monday after a bomb scare forced an evacuation of a large chunk of a sleepy West Virginia city.Police confirmed to news station WVAA that at least one bomb was found in the historic Elizabeth Kee Federal Building in Bluefield, a city with a population of just under 10,000 people.

At around 11:40 a.m. — two hours after the area was evacuated — police yelled "Fire in the hole" ahead of a loud blast as at least one device exploded from inside the courthouse, the Bluefield Daily Telegraph said.

The local paper saw a bomb-squad robot in the street, which was otherwise deserted save a heavy police presence.

Bluefield Police Chief Dennis Dillow confirmed to the paper that at least three suspicious devices had been found at the federal courthouse, without elaborating.

An area around neighboring Westminster Presbyterian Church was also being evacuated after possible explosives were found there, police later told WVNS.
Subsequently, from Fox5DC:
A West Virginia man is behind bars after two hoax bombs were found outside a federal building and a church in Bluefield.

Officials say 50-year-old James Dean Fowler was standing outside the Elizabeth Kee Federal Building Monday morning with a box cutter demanding to speak with a federal agent.

When police arrived around 8:50 a.m., Fowler told them he had a bag with a bomb in it.
And a hand with a box cutter in it. *sigh* Whatever he hoped to accomplish, this is clearly not the way to do it.
Both of the fake explosives were later found, including one planted at the Westminister Church on Washington Street. According to the investigation, the Bluefield native was not targeting the church, but could not carry both devices to the Federal Building.

Fowler is charged with one count of possession or use of a hoax bomb in the commission of a felony, two counts of false reports concerning bombs or bombs, and two counts of threats of terroristic acts.

Officials say he will be arraigned Monday night and transported to the Southern Regional Jail.

Iraqi counter-terrorism kill six 'prominent' ISIS leaders
[Rudaw] Iraq’s counter-terrorism service (CTS) on Monday announced the killing of six prominent 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....
(ISIS) leaders in their latest operation against the group’s remnants in the country.

"The inspection and confrontation operation resulted in the killing of six prominent leaders of the terrorist gangs," spokesperson to the counter-terrorism apparatus Sabah al-Numan told Iraqi state media, identifying the most prominent leader killed as Abu Maryam al-Qahtani, the group’s so-called general administrator of Salahaddin province.

Numan added that their teams have found a set of documents during their operations that revealed the "financing of terrorist gangs and the methods of communication used in the current period."

The Iraqi army and the Kurdish Peshmerga forces on Thursday launched the fifth phase of an expansive operation dubbed Solid Will, targeting ISIS remnants in Diyala and Tuz Khurmatu.

Both forces last month launched the fourth phase of the operation near Makhmour town, targeting ISIS Lions of Islam in Mount Qarachogh, an infamous region synonymous with ISIS activity.

a hangover is the wrath of grapes...

PKK media claimed that the attack was carried out by Turkey, but there has not been any official Ottoman Turkish claim.

"The area has been bombarded several times. This has concerned us and people," said Hassan.

Most of Turkey’s military operations against the PKK in recent years have been carried out in Duhok province and the fighting intensely continues there. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
Ankara also conducts attacks against the group in Sulaimani and Erbil provinces, especially Makhmour refugee camp in Erbil.

Southeast Asia
BRN rebels deal blow to Thai hopes for Buddhist Lent ceasefire
[BenarNews] It wasn’t long ago that Thai officials spoke optimistically about building upon the success of a Ramadan ceasefire, when government forces and BRN Moslem Malay rebels refrained from violence during the entire Islamic holy month across the Deep South.

The 40-day ceasefire, which both sides agreed to at peace talks in Malaysia in early April, lasted throughout Ramadan and into mid-May. It encompassed Buddhist observances of Visakha Bucha, arguably the most important holy day for members of Thailand’s religious majority, as a gesture of goodwill.

Some saw this as a turning point for an armed separatist insurgency that has seen peace initiatives come and go since the conflict in Thailand’s southern border region reignited nearly 20 years ago. The gesture went beyond the usual confidence building measures discussed at the negotiations table.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Turkish Forces Target Villages, Towns In Syria’s Aleppo
[NPASyria] On Monday, Turkish forces and their affiliated armed Syrian opposition factions targeted outskirts of several villages and towns in the northern countryside of Aleppo, northern Syria.

Turkish artillery targeted several villages in the countryside of Aleppo including Hasajek, Smouqa, Kol Sroj, Maraanaz, and others in Sharran district of the countryside of Afrin including Shawargha, castle of Shawargha, Alqamiya.

It also targeted Shahba dam and the town of Fafin in the northern countryside, an eyewitness told North Press.

On Sunday, the Turkish forces and their affiliated factions, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA), targeted the town of Tel Rifaat in the northern countryside of Aleppo with two artillery shells.

As a result of the shelling, material damages were reported.

For several months, Turkish forces and the SNA factions have escalated their shelling of villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo, following Turkish threats to launch a military operation, targeting Manbij and Tel Rifaat in northern Syria.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has recently announced plans to carry out another major military cross-border incursion into northern Syria. Erdogan specified his targets in the two northern Syrian cities of Manbij and Tel Rifaat.

On July 1, Erdogan said that Ankara’s new military operation in northern Syria could begin at any moment.

“The time has come to clear these lands from the terrorist organizations,” Erdogan threatened during Tehran Summit.

Tehran Summit, on July 19, brought together presidents of each of Iran, Russia and Turkey with the Syrian issue and Turkish threats on the top of its agenda.

Turkish Forces Attack Village In Syria’s Hasakah
[NPASyrai] Ottoman Turkish forces targeted on Sunday a village, west of the town of Derbasiyah, northeast Syria, with two mortar shells, amid flight by of reconnaissance planes over the area.

A military source told North Press that two Ottoman Turkish mortar shells fell on lands in the village of Jatali, 1km west of Derbasiyah north of Hasakah governorate.

This came in tandem with intensive flight of Ottoman Turkish reconnaissance aircrafts over the area, according to eyewitnesses.

Two months ago, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
’s President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
announced plans to carry out another major military cross-border incursion into northern Syria.

Erdogan specified his targets in the two northern Syrian cities of Manbij and Tel Rifaat.

"The time has come to clear these lands from the terrorist organizations," Erdogan threatened during Tehran Summit.

Russian Helicopters Fire Tear Gas At Syria’s Kobani Protesters
[NPASyria] Russian helicopters targeted on Monday residents of the eastern countryside of Kobani in northern Syria with tear gas and bullets, while they were blocking the road to a joint Russian-Ottoman Turkish joint patrol.

On Monday, Russian Military Police (MP) conducted a joint military patrol with the Ottoman Turkish forces in the countryside of Kobani.

This is the 109th patrol between the two forces in the region since the signing of the Russian-Ottoman Turkish ceasefire agreement.

In October 2019, following a Ottoman Turkish military operation in areas of northeast Syria which resulted in the occupation of Tel Abyad, north of Raqqa and Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) north of Hasakah, the Ottoman Turkish president signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US.

The ceasefire agreements stipulating halt of all hostilities there and the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 30 kilometers in depth away from the Ottoman Turkish border in addition to conducting joint patrols with Russia in order to monitor the implementation of the agreements.

Despite launching such a big number of joint patrols with the task to monitor the implementation of the agreements, Ottoman Turkish violations are still ongoing via drone.

Moslem Khalil Naasan, 35, a resident of the village of Qaramogh, 20 km east of Kobani, said that the Russian helicopter targeted, with bullets and tear gas, the children and residents of the village who blocked the road of the patrol.

Several shots targeted the residents, including women and kiddies, who had to flee and hide among the trees, Naasan added.

The patrol, which consisted of eight Russian and Ottoman Turkish military vehicles, accompanied with two Russian helicopters, set off from the village of Gharib, 15 km east of Kobani.

It roamed the villages of Qaramogh, Jishan, Kharabisan Tahtani, and Baghdik, reaching Khaneh in the western countryside of Tel Abyad.

After that, it returned to its starting point in the village of Gharib, passing through the villages of Baghdik, Kharabisan Tahtani, Holaqiya, Taalik and Boztepe.

The Ottoman Turkish military vehicles returned to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
through the gate near Gharib village, while the Russian military vehicles returned to their position near the town of Sirrin, south of Kobani.

The Russian MP had halted the conduct of two joint patrols with the Ottoman Turkish forces, which had been scheduled during the past two weeks in the western and eastern countryside of Kobani.

On August 1, the Russian MP conducted the 108th joint patrol with Turkey in the western countryside of Kobani.
