[Al Ahram] A key Pak holy man with close ties to the Afghan Taliban ...Arabic for students... who was killed in the garrison city of Rawalpindi was buried Saturday as Prime Minister Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems... called for an investigation into the murder.
Maulana Sami Ul-Haq, dubbed the "Father of the Taliban", was stabbed to death by unknown intruders at his residence Friday night.
The holy man, who is in his 80s was buried in his hometown Akoda Khattak, around 115 kilometres (70 miles) northwest of Islamabad.
Thousands of people gathered for the funeral prayers guarded by dozens of police personnel while a bomb disposal squad cleared the graveyard before the holy man's body was brought for burial, an AFP news hound at the site said.
His seminary had produced some of the key leaders of the Afghan and Pak Taliban, something that the holy man and his associates would proudly tell visiting journalists.
The list of graduates written on the walls of the seminary includes the names of leaders of the Pak Taliban.
An investigation into the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto ... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in... in 2007 revealed that the assassins had stayed at his seminary before travelling to Rawalpindi where Bhutto was killed.
The Afghan Taliban issued a statement terming his death "a great loss for the entire Islamic Ummah" (nation).
"He rendered unforgettable services and assistance to the oppressed Afghan nation against the Soviet and American invasions," the statement said.
Afghan envoys in Pakistain had reached out to him seeking his help in starting negotiations with the Afghan Taliban.
But analysts doubted if he had any sway with them.
"He did not had any influence on the Afghan Taliban but he supported their cause," analyst Rahimullah Yusufzai told AFP.
"Many of the leaders and fighters of the Afghan Taliban had studied at his madrassa," he said.
Pak media termed his death a blow to the Afghan grinding of the peace processor but Yusufzai doubted it, saying his death would have no impact on the talks as he was never part of any negotiations.
Social media users in Afghanistan termed him a "troublemaker".
"The Taliban have lost their father, now they are orphan," Bilal Noori, an Afghan, posted on Facebook.
His death was widely condemned in Pakistain by politicians and religious leaders, with the prime minister calling for an investigation into the murder.
In 2014, the holy man was a member of the negotiating committee from the homegrown Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) -- who brokered a ceasefire with the government, although the talks later failed.
He twice held roles as a member of Pakistain's Senate.
His JUI-S party was an ally of the ruling Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) party headed by Prime Minister Khan.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan Taliban ...Arabic for students... reacted to the murder of Maulana Samiul Haq ...the Godfather of the Taliban, leader of his own faction of the JUI. Known as Mullah Sandwich for his habit of having two young boys at a time... , the leader of Jamaat-e-Ulema Islam (S), who was also famous the group’s ’godfather’.
Taliban issued a statement after Maulana Samiul Haq’s murder was confirmed, calling his death a major and irrecoverable loss to the Islamic world, specifically to the people of Pakistain.
Calling slain religious leader a ’martyr’, the group has hailed his efforts and support against the Soviet and U.S. invasions in Afghanistan.
Maulana Samiul Haq was assassinated by unknown gunnies in Rawalpindi city of Pakistain earlier this evening, his son Maulana Hamidul Haq confirmed.
Maulana Samiul Haq, who was also famous as the ’Father of Taliban’ in Afghanistan, was stabbed to death in his residence.
"His driver Haqqani had gone out. On his return, he saw that Maulana Sami was lying in his bed in a pool of blood. He was no longer alive," Maulana Hamid told a local media outlet.
Maulana Samiul Haq was also the leader the Darul Uloom Haqqania ...an Islamic seminary located in Akora Khattak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The seminary propagates the Deobandi trend of Sunni Islam and is headed by Maulana Samiul Haq, known as the Godfather of the Taliban. It has been dubbed The University of Jihad due to the methods and content of instruction along with the future occupations of its alumni.... religious seminary and was openly supporting the Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan.
No individual or group has so far grabbed credit behind the liquidation of Maulana Samiul Haq.

[RADIOSHABELLE] A delegation led by Nicholas Haysom, the UN Special Representative for Somalia and head of the Assistance Mission UNSOM has arrived in Garowe, the capital 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... on Saturday.
Upon arrival, the UN envoy received a warm welcomed from state officials an cheering crowd before being escorted to the presidential palace, where he held talks with president Abdiweli Mohammed Ali Gaas.
The UN envoy and Puntland leader have discussed on two key issues, need for peace around the contested area of Tukaraq, and improving relations between Federal Government of Somalia and the Federal Member States.
The visit is the latest in a string of trips the UN envoy is paying to the administrative capitals of the country’s regional states on a mission to defuse the current political crisis.

[RADIOSHABELLE] The World Health Organization (WHO) is stepping up measures to contain cholera outbreak in Somalia amid decline in the number of cases and deaths in the past month.
The UN health agency, which cited figures from the Health Ministry of Somalia, said 32 new suspected cases of cholera, including one death were reported between Oct. 15-21.
"Since week 28 (seven weeks), there has been a significant downward trend in the number of new suspected cholera cases reported from different treatment facilities," WHO said in its latest report released on Friday.
"The cumulative total of cases is 6,498, including 43 associated deaths (case-fatality rate 0.6 percent), since the beginning of the current outbreak in December 2017 along the Shabelle River," it added.
Cholera is a gastrointestinal disease, usually spread by contaminated water and food, and can cause severe diarrhea that, in extreme cases, lead to fatal dehydration and kidney failure within hours.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Ottoman Turkish President 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... on Saturday said US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... had promised to look into possible US measures against a Ottoman Turkish bank for evading sanctions on Iran.
Speaking during a news conference with visiting Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, Erdogan gave details about a phone conversation he had with Trump on Thursday.
The call came as strained relations between the two countries ease following The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... ’s release of an American pastor.
Erdogan said he raised the issue of the state-owned Halkbank, which had an executive charged in New York for taking part in a scheme to evade US sanctions on Iran.
Turkey maintains Halkbank did not violate the sanctions.
Erdogan said Trump "said he would immediately instruct his ministers about this".
It was not clear what the US president could do, however.
Erdogan also said he expected to meet Trump in La Belle France next weekend, on the sidelines of a ceremony marking the anniversary of the end of the First World War.

There was discussion about this here at Rantburg at the time.
[Al Ahram] The US Army has punished six people for their roles in a 2017 mission in Niger that resulted in the ambush deaths of four Americans and five allied Nigerien troops, The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported Saturday.
The ambush occurred on October 4, 2017 as a unit of 12 American special forces soldiers and 30 Nigerien troops, returning from a village near the Malian border, were overrun by scores of jihadists.
An investigative report released by the Pentagon in May said that while US soldiers had fought bravely and four "died with honor," they had not been properly prepared for the mission. Investigators cited "individual, organizational and institutional failures."
Those being disciplined, the Times said Saturday, include Captain Mike Perozeni, the leader of the Green Beret team, as well as his second in command, a master sergeant whose name has been withheld.
The paper said a letter of reprimand to Perozeni cited the insufficient training and a lack of mission rehearsals.
Two senior officers who approved the mission and oversaw the ill-fated operation were not reprimanded, according to the newspaper.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to an AFP request for confirmation of the report's details.
It has been tight-lipped about the nature of the mission in Niger -- the existence of which surprised many Americans.
The Times account said Perozeni's Green Beret unit, Team 3212, had headed toward the Niger-Mali border in pursuit of an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group leader named Doundoun Cheffou.
After intelligence located him, an operation was planned against the leader's camp by a helicopter-borne team of American commandos and Nigerien troops, along with Team 3212.
But bad weather led to the helicopter mission being canceled. Team 3212 proceeded to the now-empty campsite. It was ambushed by some 50 heavily armed Islamic State fighters while returning to its outpost.
The ambush claimed the largest loss of American lives in combat in Africa since the "Black Hawk Down" incident in Somalia in 1993.
It also touched off debate about the presence of the 800 American troops in Niger and the larger purpose of the US military in Africa.
General Thomas Waldhauser, head of Africa Command, said in May that US forces had since become "far more prudent" in their missions and had beefed up their firepower.

Appears to be another 'lessons unlearned' from the 80s. Always have plenty of time to rehearse for a parade, but not so much for missions.
[DAWN] JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty ... on Friday held the PTI government responsible for the current turmoil in the wake of the acquittal of Christian woman Aasia Bibi in a blasphemy case and announced that the countrywide agitation would continue until the government was ousted.
"Our protest will continue until the government is sunk in the Arabian Sea," Mr Fazl told a rally here.
Seminarians and activists of other religious groups also attended the rally to condemn the Supreme Court’s verdict in Aasia Bibi blasphemy case.

[DAWN] A petition seeking damages for the destruction of public property during protests led by the Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) was filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Saturday.
The protests had broken out across the country after the Supreme Court's verdict on October 30 acquitting Asia Bibi, a Christian woman previously condemned to death on blasphemy charges.
The petition submitted by citizen Abdullah Malik states that the TLP protests have caused considerable damage to government and public property.
It added that the protection of the lives and wealth of the citizen was the first responsibility of the government and added that not doing so had violated citizens' fundamental rights.
The petition asked the court to issue orders to the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... government to compensate for all damage caused to citizens.
Separately, two first information reports (FIRs) were registered in Islamabad's cop shoppe against mob violence in the capital city.
The FIRs were registered against more than a hundred people, of which 20 are members of religiopolitical parties.
Those named in the FIRs have been accused of injuring police officials and violating Section 144 of the Criminal Procedures Code, which had been imposed in the capital city ahead of the protests.
Minister for Communications Murad Saeed also promised to bring to justice those who damaged public property, including national highways and motorways.

[Al Ahram] The husband of a Pak Christian woman at the centre of a divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... blasphemy case on Saturday criticised a government deal with Islamists that left her in legal limbo, and called on authorities to protect her.
Asia Bibi, on death row since 2010 on blasphemy charges, was acquitted by the Supreme Court Wednesday and ordered set free, triggering protests by ultra-conservative Islamists who paralysed Pakistain for three days.
The government reached a deal Friday to end the protests by agreeing to a travel ban preventing Bibi from leaving the country, and saying it would not object to hardline movements appealing the verdict.
An appeal has been filed with the court.
"It is wrong to set a precedent in which you pile pressure onto the judiciary," Bibi's husband Ashiq Masih told German Deutsche Welle radio.
He said the government should never have yielded to pressure from protesters.
Blasphemy is a hugely inflammatory charge in Moslem-majority Pakistain, where even unproven allegations of insulting Islam and its Prophet Mohammed can spark attacks and killings at the hands of vigilante mobs.
Masih said the court had been "very courageous" to acquit his wife, an illiterate mother in her 50s whose case started in 2009 while she was working in the fields.
Citing religious reasons, two Moslem women at the time refused to share a glass of water with her and a fight erupted.
Several days later, the pair reported the incident to a local imam, who said Bibi insulted the prophet, a charge she denies.
"The current situation is very dangerous for us. We have no security and are hiding here and there, frequently changing our location," Masih said.
Bibi's lawyer fled Pakistain on Saturday, fearing for his life.
Masih demanded the government reinforce Bibi's protection in prison, worrying that she may be attacked. He cited the case of two Christian men who were rubbed out after a court acquitted them in another blasphemy case.
"The situation is dangerous for Asia. I feel that her life is not secure," he said. "So I appeal to government to enhance Asia's security in jail".

"So I appeal to government to enhance Asia's security in jail".
Possibly true, possibly fevered rumour — we must patiently wait and see. And then, if it is true, see how long it lasts before Hamas lets it all explode again...
[IsraelTimes] Lebanese daily says Egypt prepared to slash 70% of its own border restrictions under 3-year truce deal; Israel will be required to grant work permits and expand fishing zone
An emerging cease-fire agreement aimed at calming months of violence on the Israel-Gazoo border will last for three years and see a significant easing of the blockade on the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,-controlled territory, Leb’s al-Akbar newspaper reported Saturday.
According to the report, the deal being brokered by Egypt stipulates a gradual stop to the ongoing, Hamas-orchestrated violent border protests and maritime flotillas over the next two months. In addition, Hamas will be obligated to punish Gazooks caught engaging in violent demonstrating along the border with Israel.
In return, Egypt will permanently open its Rafah border crossing and lift 70 percent of its blockade on the Hamas-controlled territory, the report said, citing officials familiar with the emerging agreement.
Al-Akbar said the deal would require Israel to grant 5,000 work permits for Gazooks, and expand the Strip’s fishing zone from nine to 14 nautical miles.
Israel had no immediate comment on the report.
In addition, the paper reported the Paleostinian Authority would pay 80% of the salaries of Hamas officials in Gazoo, and would not object to Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... bankrolling those wages for at least six months, like it has in the past.
Within the framework of the agreement, the report said various economic projects in Gazoo would be advanced to create jobs for some 30,000 jobs and alleviate the humanitarian situation in the Strip.
The truce is slated to last three years and will be under the supervision of the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... and Russia. At later stage after the deal is implemented, al-Akbar said Egypt would work to advance a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas.
The report was released after Friday’s weekly protests along the Gazoo border saw a significant decrease in violence.
A senior Hamas member said the festivities were scaled down to give diplomatic efforts a chance amid talk of a breakthrough in months of Egyptian-led negotiations.
The official Twitter account of PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ’s Fatah faction even posted a picture of what it claimed to be a member of the Hamas-run security forces forcibly preventing protesters from approaching the Gazoo border fence during Friday’s protests.
...once the religious home of former gang member and would-be Al Qaeda dirty bomber Jose Padilla (also known by his convert name of Abdullah al Muhajir), and no doubt of many others. Mr. Padilla is currently serving a 21-year sentence for being an awful human being with even worse friends...
a holy man called for the "liberation" of Paleostine, even at the cost of tens of millions of Moslem lives.
"If a land is occupied or plundered, it should be liberated from the occupiers and plunderers, even if this leads to the martyrdom of tens of millions of Moslems," said Hasan Sabri in a sermon last month translated Friday by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
"This is the ruling, and there is no room for discussion or concessions."
Sabri referred to "Paleostine in its entirety" as "Islamic land" and asserted that there is no difference between the land captured by Israel in the 1948 Independence War and the 1967 Six Day War. "All of it is Islamic waqf land that was occupied by force. The responsibility for it lies with the entire Islamic nation, and the [Paleostinians] should benefit from this land."
The Imam also criticized the yet-to-be-released peace plan of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... . "They call it ’the Deal of the Century.’ Why do they call it a deal?’ Because whoever is involved in this treason is not a man of principles," Sabri said.
"These are peddlers, not men with a cause. All they want are positions and jobs. That is why for them, the cause is nothing but a deal, a matter of give and take. For them, it is nothing but a deal."

Hasan Sabri reminds me of a chronic drunk dog walker. To inebriated to notice he's stepping in shit and expecting us to be happy he's picking up turds, with his feet.
Not that the locals notice. “I ask you now to stand for the invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Invocation tonight is given by Imam Hassan Sabri from our Islamic center.”
[DAWN] A Sri Lankan court on Friday ordered the arrest the country’s top military officer over the abduction and murder of 11 people during the Tamil civil war.
Colombo Fort magistrate Ranga Dissanayake reprimanded police Sherlocks for failing to act on a previous order to detain Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne.
"The court ordered that the admiral be tossed in the slammer Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! before November 9," a court official said. "If they fail, there should be action against the police officer handling the case." The order came amid a bitter power struggle between sacked prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and former president Mahinda Rajapakse, who was named to replace him.
Rajapakse was head of state from 2005 to 2015 when the decades-old Tamil separatist war was brutally crushed ‐ although the timing of today’s ruling appeared to have no deliberate link with the current political crisis.
The magistrate wants police to arrest Wijegunaratne, the chief of the defence staff, for allegedly shielding a navy officer responsible for abductions and killings.
Police told the court the admiral had protected Chandana Prasad Hettiarachchi, a navy intelligence officer who is the main suspect in the killing of 11 men between 2008 and 2009.
They are believed to have been murdered while being illegally held by the navy. Their bodies were never found but Hettiarachchi was arrested in August.
"There is evidence of Admiral Wijegunaratne allowing the accused to evade arrest," Sri Lanka’s Criminal Investigations Department told the court.

Been watching it but it does not show up on my heat map. There is trouble
[ALMASDARNEWS] Iran’s Defence Minister inaugurated the production of domestically designed fighter jets in Tehran on Saturday, a day after the US announced the reinstatement of sanctions on the country.
"Soon the necessary number of this aircraft will be produced. And it will be put at the service of the Air Force and the Army of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran," Defence Minister Amir Hatami said at a ceremony to launch the Kowsar fighter jet’s production, which was broadcast on television.
All of the US sanctions, lifted under the 2015 Iran nuclear accord (also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA), are set to come back into effect on Monday.
Washington has been gradually reinstating sanctions against Iran after it pulled out of the nuclear deal in May.
