[8am] Despite their promises of a general amnesty, the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... continue to arrest former military personnel and civilians. In September 2024, they arrested around 81 people across 18 provinces and executed more than 25 individuals in 13 provinces. Some of these killings have been attributed to unidentified gangs. Among those executed, 14 were killed by 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.... — Khorasan Province (ISKP) at the Daykundi-Ghor border. The victims included former military personnel and civilians, accused of various offenses. The Taliban detained individuals for spreading critical content, being affiliated with anti-Taliban fronts, shaving their beards, or having ties to ISKP or the "Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... " group. These figures, based on reports from the Hasht-e Subh Daily, suggest that due to widespread repression and censorship, the actual number of executions and imprisonments may be higher.
In September 2024, 25 people were executed in Takhar, Ghor, Ghazni, Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. , Faryab, Daykundi, Khost, Badakhshan, Nuristan, Laghman ...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men... , and Balkh provinces. Of these, around 15 killings were attributed to unidentified gangs, but sources and relatives of the victims accused the Taliban of being responsible. Additionally, 13 Hazara ...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets... s from Daykundi were executed near the Ghor border, along with a Sunni resident from Ghor who was passing through the area. ISKP grabbed credit for the attack.
Last week, the Taliban shot six people in Takhar province and displayed their bodies in a market in the Baharak district center. Local sources reported that the Taliban left the bodies on public display in "Qayoom Bazaar" in Baharak district on Friday, September 20, for several hours. The group did not provide details about the victims’ identities, but sources claimed that the Taliban executed them on charges of theft.
Before these six executions, the Taliban killed Amanullah, a former local police commander of the previous government, in Rustaq district, Takhar province. Sources stated that the Taliban shot Amanullah, the leader of former local uprisings, in the village of Sarjoy as he was returning home.
The Taliban’s campaign of civilian killings continues, with reports of them brutally murdering a student in Ghor province. Sources say Kamaluddin Nizami, an accounting student at a university in Shiraz, Iran, had returned to Ferozkoh, the capital of Ghor, for the holidays. Taliban intelligence tortured him for three days before killing him.
In Badakhshan province, sources report that the Taliban’s head of education in Ishkashim district killed a teacher. The victim, Wali Mohammad Mosamim, taught mathematics and was about to be appointed as the district’s head of education. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... a Taliban official killed him in his office, according to sources.
Since the Taliban’s takeover, extrajudicial, serial, and mysterious killings have surged. After many of these incidents, sources and victims’ relatives often accuse the Taliban, though the group frequently blames unidentified gangs while also claiming they have established nationwide security.
In the past month alone, three individuals were killed in Ghor, a former military member in Babaji district, Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province, a former security officer in Faryab province, a man and a woman in Shahristan district, Daykundi province, a young man in Mandol district, Nuristan province, another young man in Faryab province, the head of the previous government’s Directorate of Transportation in Nangarhar province, a student in Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... , a teacher in Mazar-e-Sharif, Balkh province, a man in Rashidan district, Ghazni province, a young man in Laghman province, and a driver in Kunduz. The Taliban attribute these attacks to unidentified gangs, but sources accuse the Taliban of being responsible for most of these killings.
ARRESTS OF FORMER MILITARY PERSONNEL AND CIVILIANS BY THE TALIBAN
The Taliban have arrested a former military officer in Baghlan province, two former security forces members in Kabul, and one other individual in Nangarhar province. While the group offers no explanation for these arrests, sources close to the detainees report that the Taliban frequently target former military personnel, often accusing them of being involved in anti-Taliban activities as part of their broader Dire Revenge against those who once opposed them.
In addition to former security forces, the Taliban have arrested civilians and former babus government employees on various charges. Over the past month, they have detained around 65 individuals for reasons ranging from alleged collaboration with the National Resistance® Front of Afghanistan to shaving their beards, clashing with nomads, publishing satirical content, and criticizing the Taliban. Many detainees were coerced into making confessions. The Taliban have also arrested some of their own members on charges of affiliation with Islamic State — Khorasan Province (ISKP), as well as members of the "Hizbut Tahrir" group.
Reports show these arrests took place in Kabul, Takhar, Nangarhar, Ghazni, Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... , Panjshir, and Baghlan, and the whereabouts of many detainees remain unknown. Sources confirm that the families of those arrested are unaware of their relatives’ locations, and the Taliban have provided no further information. It has been reported multiple times that the Taliban arrest individuals on various pretexts, demanding money or weapons for their release.
In recent weeks, the Taliban have detained three civilians in Baghlan, four in Takhar, 25 in Ghazni, 17 in Panjshir, 15 in Badghis, and three in Herat. Although the Taliban regime employed some of these individuals after being hired during the previous government, the group has given no reasons for the arrests, which appear arbitrary. Sources claim many detainees have been tortured and coerced into making confessions.
INTERNAL PURGES AND ALLEGATIONS OF ISKP AFFILIATION
The Taliban are grappling with severe internal divisions, leading to multiple festivities among their commanders and fighters across various provinces. These confrontations have escalated into the use of both light and heavy weapons. Amid rising tensions, the Taliban have arrested several of their fighters in some provinces, accusing them of belonging to the Islamic State — Khorasan Province (ISKP).
On Saturday, September 14, sources informed Hasht-e Subh Daily that the Taliban arrested seven of their members on charges of collaborating with ISKP. According to these sources, the arrests targeted individuals within the Taliban’s military ranks, reflecting the group’s ongoing concerns about ISKP infiltrators in their ranks.
Taliban intelligence forces also arrested Amirjan Fouladi, a former military officer, in Bamyan province and transferred him to an undisclosed location. Fouladi’s family has not been informed of his whereabouts. Sources indicate he had recently served as the "Plan and Operations Manager" for the Taliban police command.
For over three years, the Taliban have openly supported commanders and fighters accused of crimes. When a video leaked showing a Taliban commander in Takhar province committing sexual assault, the group arrested the person who filmed the incident, not the perpetrator.
In addition, members of "Hizbut Tahrir," who previously collaborated with the Taliban before their rise to power, have also faced arrests. On Thursday, August 22, Taliban intelligence in Takhar province detained several members of the group in Kalafgan district, rejecting mediation attempts by local elders. The Taliban had previously arrested other members of this ideological group.
Meanwhile,
...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind... the UN Secretary-General recently presented a quarterly report on Afghanistan to the UN Security Council, revealing that between May 14 and July 31, 2,127 security incidents were recorded, marking a 53 percent increase from last year. The report also highlighted the ongoing torture, arrests, and killings of former military personnel, despite the Taliban’s promise of general amnesty. The arrest and killing of former government military personnel continue unchecked.
[ShabelleMedia] A powerful boom-mobilewent kaboom! outside the Geeldooh restaurant in Mogadishu on Saturday at noon, leading to numerous casualties and shattering the fragile peace that had settled over the city in recent weeks.
According to local police reports, the blast occurred when the restaurant was bustling with patrons. The exact number of casualties remains unconfirmed, but reports from the scene suggest at least seven people were killed, with twelve others seriously injured.
The attack marks a stark resurgence of violence in the Somali capital, which had seen a relative lull in such incidents. The Geeldooh restaurant, popular among locals and visitors alike, was targeted at a time when it was likely to be most crowded, indicating a deliberate attempt to maximize civilian casualties.
Emergency services and local residents have been working through the night to assist the victims, with hospitals in Mogadishu reporting an influx of maimed individuals. The severity of the injuries has led to fears that the corpse count might rise.
No group has immediately grabbed credit for the bombing, but suspicions naturally fall on al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... , a Death Eater group known for its frequent attacks in Mogadishu aimed at destabilizing the government and its allies. al-Shabaab has previously carried out similar attacks, including the devastating bombing during the Euro 2024 final which underscores their capability for such violence.
The IDF hit Yemen's Houthis with the most powerful counter-strike against them of the war on Sunday, even exceeding the massive strike on Hodeidah in July, sources told The Jerusalem Post and the IDF confirmed shortly thereafter.
Dozens of Israeli aircraft participated in the operation, striking 1,800 kilometers from Israeli territory, after the Houthis fired three ballistic missiles on the Tel Aviv and central Israel areas in recent weeks, including one on Saturday.
The targets included power plants and a seaport used to import oil, which the Houthis used to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, in addition to military supplies and oil, IDF reported.
According to Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Al Mayadeen and confirmed by the IDF, the targets of the strikes were oil reserves in Ras Issa and also the port of Hodeidah.
The Houthi-run Al Masirah announced that the Civil Defense has begun working to put out the fire at the current power station, which was caused by the strikes.
Additionally, Al Mayadeen reported that Hodeidah's electricity station and airport have both been targeted by IDF strikes.
The IDF said its intelligence arm selected targets based on where Iran has been delivering weapons to the Houthis, mixing civilian locations with military use to then attack Israel.
The IDF added that the Houthis have been attacking Israel throughout this past year, not only this past month.
Over the year, the Houthis launched many ballistic missiles and drones at Eilat. In July, a drone from the Houthis killed a civilian in Tel Aviv.
Several hours after the initial strike, Al Masirah claimed that four people had died from the strikes, with an additional 33 injured.

The IDF confirmed on Sunday that during an extensive, intelligence-based aerial operation, dozens of IAF aircraft—including fighter jets, mid-air refueling aircraft, and intelligence aircraft struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist rebels in the Ras Isa and Hudaydah areas of Yemen.
The targets included power plants and a seaport used to import oil, which was "used by the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, in addition to military supplies and oil," the IDF stated.

[Regnum] On September 28, the Yemeni Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement announced that it had struck Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv during the return of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the United States.
The airport was attacked by missiles, the movement's military spokesman Yahya Saria told Al Masirah TV.
"The missile forces carried out an operation to hit Jaffa Airport, called Ben Gurion in Israel, during the arrival of the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu," Saria said.
Netanyahu attended the UN General Assembly. Earlier, the media released footage of his telephone conversation with the Israeli army command before the operation that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
More from regnum.ru Israel's military says it intercepted a rocket fired from Yemen
Israeli air defense systems intercepted a missile launched from Yemen; the interception occurred outside the country's territory, the Israeli army (IDF) press service reported on September 28.
Earlier, sirens sounded in the central part of Israel (in the Tel Aviv area).
"After sirens were sounded in central Israel, a rocket launched from Yemen was intercepted by an air defense system outside of Israeli territory," the statement said.
A surface-to-surface ballistic missile launched at central Israel from 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... Saturday evening was shot down by air defenses "outside the country’s borders," the IDF said in a statement. The missile caused sirens to sound in central Israel due to fears of falling shrapnel. Its remains fell near the Jerusalem-area community of Tzur Hadassah, causing slight damage, police said. The missile was shot down with the Arrow long-range missile defense system, which is designed to take out ballistic missiles while they are still outside the atmosphere.
The missile was fired shortly after the Iran-backed 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... s vowed that "the resistance won’t be broken," in response to the liquidation of Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> , who was killed in an IDF Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... in Beirut on Friday. The leader of the Houthis said the missile was aimed and timed to coincide with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s landing in Israel after returning from New York. In a televised speech, Abdul Malik al-Houthi also vowed that the death of Nasrallah "will not be in vain."
The Houthis also took responsibility for an attack Friday morning, saying they had launched a ballistic missile at a military target in Tel Aviv and a drone at a "vital target" in Ashkelon. The missile was intercepted. The IDF said it was unaware of any drone reaching Israel.
Friday’s missile caused no direct injuries, though a 17-year-old girl was moderately hurt when a car hastily pulling over during the siren accidentally hit her. The Houthis hinted on Friday that the morning’s missile was retaliation for an Israeli airstrike Thursday that killed senior Hezbollah leader Mohammed Srur.
The Yemeni rebels have launched several attacks targeting Tel Aviv, including a surface-to-surface missile earlier this month. Israel has yet to retaliate for any of those attacks.
In July, the military conducted a major strike on Yemen’s Hodeidah port after a drone hit Tel Aviv, killing a man in his apartment.
Syrian, known to police, Sudden Jihad Syndrome. The only question is whether his asylum application had been finally rejected or if he was being teated for mental health issues… or both.
[Jpost] A 41-year-old Syrian national wounded 31 people, including two children who were left in critical condition, in arson attacks on Saturday in the German city of Essen, according to police and media reports from Sunday morning.
At around 5:10 PM on Saturday, the man set fire to a residential building on Altenessener Strasse and the corner of Pielsticker Strasse, according to Bild. He later drove a few streets over, where he set fire to a second residence.
The fire service said that 31 people were wounded in the arson attacks, while Essen police placed the number at 30.
Children were reportedly thrown from windows to escape the flames onto cushions placed on the street, according to Tagesschau.
After setting off the fires, the man reportedly drove to Katernberger Strasse, where he rammed his car into a store before reversing and ramming into the building again.
Continuing the series of attacks, the driver fled to another shop on Katernberger Strasse, where he pulled out a machete and began threatening people. This component of the attack was captured on video by nearby civilians, who threw objects at him in an attempt to distance the man.
The man was arrested a few meters from the store with burns to his hands, sources told Bild. Tagesschau reported that the individual had been known to the police prior to the incident.
“The criminal police have taken over the investigation and are examining the connections between the crimes. The specific motives of the arrested man are also the subject of the investigation,” Essen police published in a statement.
Videos of the incident, screenshotted by multiple German media outlets, appeared to show the man was wearing a Palestinian flag and Keffiyeh-patterned headband.
Recently, Germany arrested a Syrian national for planning a machete attack on soldiers. The accused obtained two machetes approximately 40 cm (15.75 inches) long. He planned to attack Bundeswehr soldiers in Hof who were spending their lunch break there and to kill as many of them as possible, a prosecutor's statement said.
In August, an ISIS-affiliated Syrian asylum seeker killed three people and wounded eight others in a knife attack on Germany's Solingen.
A 41-year-old Syrian man has been arrested in Essen, Germany after allegedly ramming a van into storefronts Saturday and setting two fires that injured over 30 people, including two small children.
The suspected migrant attacker is due to appear before a judge on Sunday facing charges of aggravated arson and attempted murder.
The Syrian national is accused of driving a van into two stores and starting two fires, which left two children in critical condition due to smoke inhalation and dozens more injured as exits were blocked off, broadcaster NTV reports.
While local residents attempted to mount a rescue effort of their own, their ladders were not tall enough to reach the windows of the buildings set ablaze, forcing those inside to hang outside of the windows to breathe.
Firefighters, who were forced to confront two fires simultaneously, were fortunately able to save all those inside before any fatalities occurred. Around 160 emergency personnel were involved in the rescue operation, which took around an hour and a half.
After allegedly setting the fires, the migrant is reported to have threatened to stab people with a long blade, before being surrounded by several men clad with shovels and poles, who subdued and detained him until police could arrive.
Authorities were quick to deny any terrorist motivation behind the attack, with Welt reporting that security service sources believe the attack was rather motivated by a familial conflict. Local police said that initial investigations point to the man becoming enraged over his wife leaving him. "I can't understand why she left me?" *Hack* *stab*
“The acts were obviously aimed specifically at a family,” said Mayor Kufen.
According to the German paper, twelve people were injured in the first fire and a further 19 were injured in the second, with all injuries being caused by smoke inhalation.
Welt reported that two children suffered life-threatening injuries from the smoke, which is particularly dangerous for developing lungs. The two children are believed to be two and four years-old. In total, eight children were hospitalised as a result of the fires.
He targeted houses and shops where people who supported her lived.
The suspect hasn’t commented so far on what happened Saturday, but was previously known to authorities for threats and damage to property, police said.
[IsraelTimes] Democratic politician’s windows defaced with anti-Israel graffiti, including inverted red triangle, a symbol Hamas uses to mark its targets in propaganda videos
The uptown Manhattan district office of New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat and the surrounding area was vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti on Thursday night.
According to security footage police viewed at the scene the following morning, the vandalism took place at around 11 p.m., on a night when pro-Paleostinian protests took place around the city, on the eve of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... General Assembly.
The district office is in a heavily Jewish area, close to several synagogues and Jewish schools. The graffiti covered a window that, for much of the past year, has displayed fliers with the faces of Israeli hostages held by Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... in 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 Hamas with 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... . The office, which was closed Friday morning as police investigated, is regularly picketed by small groups of pro-Paleostinian protesters.
By Friday morning, the graffiti had been partially scratched off, but the vandalism appeared to say, "F— Israel," "40k dead," "genocide lover" and "terrorist" in red paint on the window and door of Espaillat’s office in Washington Heights.
The graffiti also had an inverted red triangle, a symbol Hamas uses to mark its targets in propaganda videos that has become increasingly popular among pro-Paleostinian protesters. Other graffiti on the same street and on a nearby subway entrance also featured the red triangle and read "F— Israel NYPD Cop City," "Free Gaza" and "A terrorist in uniform is still a terrorist."
Espaillat is a Democrat representing upper Manhattan and part of the Bronx. He has spoken out in support of Israeli hostages, security funding for Jewish institutions, and Jewish students at Columbia University in recent months. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other pro-Israel New York congressmen have had their offices hit with anti-Israel graffiti since October 7, when thousands of Hamas snuffies infiltrated southern Israel, murdering 1,200 and taking 251 hostages to the Gaza Strip. They include Reps. Daniel Goldman and Ritchie Torres, both Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... , and Republican Rep. Mike Lawler.
Anti-Israel protests reignited around the city this week, after a lull during the summer, when many students were home for vacation. A protest against Netanyahu marched from Bryant Park on Thursday, and demonstrators gathered outside a hotel on Park Avenue on Thursday night where they believed Netanyahu was staying. The protests come amid an escalation in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanese terror group.
The anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace said actress Rowan Blanchard from the "Spy Kids" movie series had been arrested along with 24 other activists affiliated with the group.
The hardline pro-Paleostinian activist group Within Our Lifetime released a map illustrated with dripping blood that urged followers to target the offices of Israel-focused groups including the Friends of the IDF, AIPAC, Birthright and the "Zionist consulate," as well as Grand Central Station. The group published a similar map last year.
Anti-Israel protesters targeted New York Mayor Eric Adams ...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve... at a Thursday rally after he was indicted for corruption. Columbia University students held a Friday campus protest focused on Israeli strikes in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... .

Point taken.
If they can appoint Harris as the nominate w/o the voters. Whats to keep them from arresting/eliminating Trump and appointing her President during a staged/planned National Emergency?
#9
Thought experiment, the Pandemonium Ploy: If China is about to act against Taiwan because Trump actually overcomes all the cheating and wins the election, the intervening 75 days of the "Biden" Presidency represents a center-of-gravity moment and a massive power vacuum for senior governance as the political appointees and their allies begin a widespread exodus/retirement across a wide spectrum of federal agencies including DoD/DHS/FBI and the IC. This creates disconnects, holes and confusion and lessens the already sclerotic "agility" and command and control of military/disaster response/law enforcement nodes.
As Chinese actions begin or just prior- hundreds/thousands of critical infrastructure targets are attacked by trained, infiltrated Chinese SF teams with detailed target folders, malware, DOS and kinetic weapons.

[GEO.TV] At least three police officials got maimed in a blast on Saturday after their vehicle hit a bomb planted along the roadside in tehsil Khar of Bajaur district.
The deputy superintendent of police (DSP) said other officials, including the station house officer (SHO), escaped unhurt in the blast incident.
A hunt for the suspects had been launched in the Bhai Cheena area, the DSP added.
Police said the maimed were rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.
The attack comes two days after a kaboom at a cop shoppe on Thursday night claimed the lives of two people, while several others remained injured in Swabi, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
District Police Officer (DPO) Swabi Haroon Rasheed had told news hounds that the blast occurred in the cop shoppe's warehouse room on the first floor, where huge quantity of kaboom recovered from the Death Eaters from time to time was stored.
The nation has been reeling under rising violent mostly peaceful attacks since the Taliban ...Arabic for students... rulers returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the bordering provinces of KP and Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... The two most vulnerable provinces saw a sharp rise in deadly attacks last couple of months, according to data from the Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS).
The digital database of security incidents managed by the Islamabad-based think-tank suggested an alarming situation as the number of attacks jumped from 38 in July to 59 in August.
These incidents included 29 attacks in KP, 28 in Balochistan, and two in Punjab. Meanwhile,
...back at the saloon, Butch got the bill for the damage caused by the fist fight, the mirror broken in the shootout, and drinks for everyone...... KP witnessed 25 casualties in the 29 terrorist attacks during August.
To tackle the menace of increasing terrorism in the country, the federal cabinet had approved Operation Azm-e-Istehkam in June this year. The operation is a reinvigorated national counter-terrorism campaign following the Central Apex Committee's recommendations under the National Action Plan to root out terrorism.

[Rudaw] Iraqi security forces arrested nine suspected members of 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.... (ISIS) across four provinces, the army said on Friday, amid a countrywide spike in anti-ISIS operations.
The Iraqi army carried out "several preemptive operations that resulted in the arrest of nine forces of Evil wanted by the Iraqi judiciary according to Article Four in various areas of the Baghdad, Nineveh, Anbar, and Kirkuk provinces," state media said, citing a Security Media Cell statement.
Article Four of the Counter-Terrorism Law of 2005 says that anyone found guilty of committing a terror offense is given a death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... , with life imprisonment given to those who assist or hide those convicted of terrorism.

[IsraelTimes] Thousands of Iraqi protesters are trying to storm the US Embassy in Baghdad, according to posts on social media, protesting Israel’s liquidation of Hezbollah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> in Beirut yesterday.
Videos show protesters clashing with security forces in riot gear. Hezbollah flags and photos of Nasrallah can be seen among the large crowd, along with flags of Iran-backed militias in Iraq known as the Popular Mobilization Force.
Earlier, Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... i condemned the strike on Nasrallah as "a crime that shows the Zionist entity has crossed all the red lines."
In a statement, he called the Israeli strikes on south Beirut a "shameful attack" and described Nasrallah as "a martyr on the path of the righteous."

Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, the IDF says. The targets included rocket launchers aimed at Israel and buildings used by Hezbollah, including where it stored weapons, according to the military. It releases footage of some of the strikes.
Trump whisperer Kushner says Israel must be allowed to finish off Hezbollah
Former president Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, an ex-White House senior adviser, says Israel must be allowed to finish off Hezbollah after assassinating its leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, rejecting calls for a ceasefire which have been voiced by the Biden administration.
“Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the north is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance,” Kushner tweets in rare public comments.
The post is quickly retweeted by former ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who is likely to seek a spot in the administration, as well as Wyoming Senator John Barrosso, senior Fox News analyst Brit Hume and and other influential Trump-world voices. Kushner has said he doesn’t plan to return to the White House if his father-in-law is re-elected, but his voice still has weight among Trump backers, if not the Republican candidate for president.
In the lengthy X post, Kushner brands September 27 — the date Israel killed Nasrallah — as “the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.”
“Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent,” he argues.
“Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end,” Kushner continues.
He argues that with Hezbollah and Iran reeling, “failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible.”
“The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight,” Kushner adds, noting that Hezbollah has the blood of hundreds Americans on its hands.
Jordan says rocket fired from Lebanon lands outside Amman
The Jordanian army says a grad rocket from southern Lebanon fell this evening in an uninhabited desert area near Muwaqqar, a town southeast of Amman. No people were hurt in the attack and there was no damage, it says in a statement. Muwaqqar is about 160 kilometers (100 miles) from the Lebanese border.
Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces said a missile fired from Lebanon landed in the West Bank near Jerusalem, marking what appeared to be the deepest rocket fire carried out by Hezbollah since intense fighting began earlier this month.
IDF: Missile from Lebanon lands in West Bank, sparking fire, causing power outages; none hurt
The IDF says that the missile launched from Lebanon this evening impacted in the West Bank, close to Jerusalem. Local authorities say that the missile struck an open area, sparking a fire and causing power outages in several nearby settlements. The Fire and Rescue Service says it is working to extinguish a fire near the Mitzpe Hagit outpost, sparked by the missile impact. There are no injuries in the attack.
Lebanese media reports additional Israeli strike in Beirut’s Dahiyeh
Lebanese media report a new Israeli strike in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut. Numerous IDF strikes have been carried out in the Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital today, since the killing of Hezbollah’s chief Hassan Nasrallah yesterday.
Meanwhile, a Lebanese security source says an Israeli strike targeted a warehouse near Beirut airport, Lebanon’s only international passenger facility. AFP live footage showed smoke billowing from the area near the runway after the strike.
UNHCR: 200,000 internally displaced inside Lebanon, 50,000 fled into Syria
Over 50,000 people have crossed into Syria from Lebanon since Israel intensified its airstrikes in various regions of the country, and 200,000 are internally displaced, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi. The figure presumably includes the 110,000 who are believed to have evacuated southern Lebanon in the months before the ongoing escalation.
Those who have crossed the border into Syria are both Lebanese citizens and Syrians who have been living in Lebanon as refugees.
Grandi says that relief operations are underway to assist those in need in collaboration with the governments of both countries.

[IsraelTimes] Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas officials in Gaza have ceased their movements as a precaution following an Israeli strike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news outlet reports.
The report, citing unnamed sources, says Sinwar’s security has been switched in recent days.
Additionally, Hamas officials have ceased attending meetings in Lebanon as part of the security precautions, the report says.

[IsraelTimes] Channel 12 says Netanyahu approved attack just before UN speech after several days of discussions; claims US, which had been in talks with Israel on ceasefire, left feeling misled
Israel had known of Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> ’s location for months before launching the strike that killed him, three senior Israeli defense officials told The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... on Saturday. Iraq? Iran? Regardless, he's a pink mist in a turban
The terror chief was killed Friday in an Israeli strike on Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in Beirut.
The decision to strike Nasrallah was made in recent days — and without apprising the US, according to an Israeli report — with Jerusalem fearing the window of opportunity to take him out would close, unnamed officials told the outlet.
Planning for the operation took place even as Israeli officials were involved in talks with the US on a potential pause in hostilities, and before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed to New York early Thursday morning to speak at the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... General Assembly, the report said.
Two of the officials said that over 80 bombs were dropped in the strike, which flattened six buildings in southern Beirut.
Hezbollah confirmed Saturday morning that Nasrallah had been killed, along with the terror group’s southern front commander, Ali Karaki, who had survived an Israeli hit attempt days earlier.
All three of the officials confirmed that Hashem Safieddine, a cousin of Nasrallah and his potential successor, was not at the underground Beirut bunker targeted in the strike.
Nasrallah was targeted by dozens of bunker-busting bombs dropped by Israeli Air Force fighter jets on Hezbollah’s main headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold known as the Dahiyeh.
Senior Israeli Air Force officials said Saturday the strike went smoothly with no errors or enemy fire on their warplanes.
"Everything we planned was executed precisely, with no errors, both in intelligence, the planning, with the planes, and the operation itself. Everything went smooth," the commander of the IAF’s 69th Squadron told news hounds. Military guidelines require the lieutenant colonel to only be identified by his first initial in Hebrew.
The 69th Squadron flies a fleet of F-15I fighter jets and is based at the Hatzerim Airbase in southern Israel. Half of the pilots who took part in the operation were reservists.
"We went to strike in the heart of Beirut, in the Dahiyeh. We knew who we wanted to target," the commander added.
Brig. Gen. Amichai Levin, the commander of the Hatzerim Airbase, said the "very complex" mission was planned long in advance.
During the strike "no missiles were fired at the planes... and there was no danger to the crews," he said.
"Dozens of munitions hit the target within seconds with very high precision, and this is part of what is required to hit underground sites at this depth," Levin added.
He predicted the killing of Nasrallah would " have a profound effect that will change the face of the Middle East."
HOW IT HAPPENED
According to Israel’s Channel 12 news, Netanyahu approved the strike shortly before he addressed the UN General Assembly in New York, which took place mere hours before the attack. The decision, which had been approved in principle by the cabinet on Thursday evening, was backed by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
A US official told The Times of Israel on Friday that Washington was only notified of the strike after its planes were already in the air and the operation was in motion.
At the same time Netanyahu was in discussions planning the strike, the US believed it was engaged in good faith negotiations with the premier and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer on a potential ceasefire in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... after days of intense Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s there.
A sort of good faith, anyway. America, et al were serious about forcing Israel to a quick truce preparatory to forcing them to give up warring against Hezbollah altogether, regardless of the merits of the offer, just as they have during negotiations with Hamas Hezbollah seriously wanted a hudna so that Iran could rearm them, while Israel wants to be left to fight her war without being forced to stop prematurely.
Once the hit on Nasrallah took place, the US was left with a feeling of having been misled, according to Channel 12.
The channel provided a run-down of what it said were days of consultations between Netanyahu, ministers and defense brass over the plan. It did not provide a source for the information, though anonymous leaks of internal cabinet discussions in Hebrew language media are common.
According to Channel 12, the plan came together on Monday, though it was only discussed Wednesday. An initial meeting with IDF chief of staff Herzi Halevi, Mossad chief David Barnea, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Gallant gave unanimous backing to the plan.
Later, however, some cabinet ministers came out against the move, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Both Smotrich, an outspoken hawk, and Regional Cooperation Minister David Amsalem were reportedly concerned it would harm the IDF’s ongoing activities in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

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... Nonetheless, the cabinet gave its conditional approval, and on Friday Halevi spoke with Gallant and reportedly told him, "We have what we need. We can go ahead with the operation. We know that Nasrallah is in the bunker."
Gallant and Halevi phoned Netanyahu, who was set to speak soon at the General Assembly, and told him they recommended proceeding with the operation.
The prime minister said yes, and then headed to the UN, where he delivered a Friday morning speech that included passages denouncing and threatening Hezbollah, and warning Iran.
Barely an hour later, with the sun getting low in the Middle East, the IAF flew over Beirut and began dropping bombs.
It reported soon after that the operation had been a complete success.
[Rudaw] A suicide drone, allegedly launched by Iran-backed militia groups, targeted United States troops positioned near the Koniko gas field in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province, a war monitor reported on Saturday, hours after the announcement of the killing of Hezbollah Leader in an Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... "Violent explosions were heard, caused by a suicide,drone attack carried out by Iran-backed militias on the US base at the ’Koniko’ gas plant in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor," the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported.
The war monitor noted that the troops in the area countered the attacks, with no immediate information on casualties, or whether the drones were shot down.
This comes hours after the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah announced the death of its Leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> in an Israeli airstrike on the capital Beirut on Friday.
Nasrallah, who led Hezbollah for more than 30 years, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a residential neighborhood on Friday. People fled southern Beirut in the middle of the night as Israel carried out additional airstrikes.

[Rudaw] An Israeli aerial strike on a military site in Syria’s Damascus province killed five personnel and injured another, state media reported on Friday.
Syrian state media (SANA), citing military sources, reported that an Israeli “aerial aggression” was launched from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights.
The early morning attack targeted military positions on the Syria-Lebanon border near Kafeir Yabous village in Damascus province’s countryside, killing five soldiers and injuring another, according to SANA.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based conflict monitor, reported the attack targeted the Syrian "regime's border guard forces."
According to SOHR, Israel has targeted Syrian territory 70 times since the start of the year, including 53 airstrikes and 17 ground strikes, hitting weapons and ammunition depots, headquarters, and vehicles.
Israel has conducted hundreds of strikes on Syrian regime-controlled areas in its nearly 13-year civil war, often targeting pro-Iran militias that support the Syrian army, such as Hezbollah.
While Israel rarely comments on strikes attributed to it in Syria, Israel has repeatedly warned that it would not tolerate Iran gaining a foothold there.
The strikes have increased since October 7, when Palestinian Hamas militants launched an unprecedented, large-scale attack on Israeli territory that has prompted significant retaliation.
[Rudaw] A suspected Israeli airstrike on Friday targeted the Syria-Lebanon border, injuring four, reported a war monitor.
The bombardment took place in Syria’s Homs province, targeting the Matraba border crossing on the Lebanese border. Four members of the Syrian regime’s intelligence were injured in the attack, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
“The crossing was put out of service after suffering major material damages,” added the UK-based war monitor which relies on a network of sources within Syria.
Tel Aviv has yet to comment on the airstrike.
The same border crossing was allegedly hit by Israeli air forces the previous day.
“During the regular work at the crossing, the Israeli enemy suddenly targeted arrivals from Lebanese territory on the crossing bridge between Syria and Lebanon, injuring eight personnel at the crossing”, Ayad Alloush, director of Matraba crossing, said in a statement, reported by state media.
He added that the border crossing facilities sustained material damage too.

Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

…it was the Ruritaneans. It’s always the Ruritaneans…
and a large number of people were maimed.
"Twelve pro-Iranian fighters were killed in air strikes of unknown origin targeting their positions in the city of Deir Ezzor and to the east of the city, as well as the Boukamal region, near the border with Iraq," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.
Five of the strikes targeted military positions near Deir Ezzor airport, it adds. The origin of the strikes are unknown, with widespread speculation they were carried out by Israel or the US.
The Observatory, which says it relies on a network of sources on the ground, has been accused of inflating casualty numbers in the past.
Albukamal is thought to be on a major smuggling route used by Shiite groups, including Hezbollah, to transport weapons from Iran. Attacks in the past there have been attributed to the US military.
Israel’s army said earlier it was concentrating its efforts in Lebanon on imposing a blockade aimed at keeping Iranian weapons from entering the country.
The Israel Defense Force has begun or is about to begin a Limited-Ground Operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon according to several U.S. Officials, with Armored Vehicles and Troops reported to have crossed into Southern Lebanon at several Areas along the Border.
