[Libya Herald] La Belle France has demanded that Ansar al-Sharia ...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet... in Libya be designated a terrorist organization by the UN Security Council.
Should the French, Spanish, Italians, Greeks and Turks want to organize an intervention and colonization stabilization force and seek a 30 year UN mandate, that would be fine by me...
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius made the demand yesterday at the special meeting on Libya organised by the UN Secretary General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon ... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan... on the sidelines of the General Assembly meeting. Calling the country a "terrorist powder-keg", Fabius told others at the meeting that Gay Paree had formally requested "that Ansar al-Sharia be added to the Security Council terror list, the so-called Al-Qaeda list".
"With Libya, we are faced with two challenge: the first is to initiate national reconciliation between the different Libya groups. But the second, is that we must find ways and means to put an end to what is a terrorist powder-keg," he said.
So far, despite just five groups have been designated as terrorist organizations by the UN: Al-Qaeda, the Nusra Front in Syia, Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... in Nigeria, IS (Daesh), and Iraq's Kata'ib Hezbollah.
At present, other than the Libyan government, only the US has listed Ansar al-Sharia as a terrorist body.
Separately, the Security Council voted last month to impose sanctions on individuals and groups seen as responsible for the current crisis in Libya. A list is believed to have been drawn up but not made public while efforts continue to promote national dialogue.
La Belle France has taken a lead in recent weeks to mobilise international action on Libya. Last month French President François Hollande called for UN intervention in Libya. Without it, the president said, "terrorism will spread across the region".
Two weeks ago, La Belle France's Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Libya had become a "hub for terrorist groups" and that La Belle France had to act "mobilise the international community" to deal with the issue.

[ABNA.IR] "We don't fund bad boys," Sheikh Tamim said in an interview with CNN aired Thursday. "If you talk about certain movements, especially in Syria and Iraq, we all consider them terrorist movements."
"Lies! All lies!"
"Yes, your Corpulence, we in the media know they're lies, as do our viewers. But while we talking heads agree with you, our mindless listeners think you're the one who's lying."
"But there are differences. There are differences that some countries and some people (believe) that any group which comes from Islamic background are terrorists. And we don't accept that."
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... has been accused of funding bad boy groups in Syria, as well as Egypt's banned Moslem Brüderbund, following Arab Spring uprisings.
But the gas-rich emirate, home to a major US military base, is now taking part in Washington's campaign against the ISIL group, which has seized swaths of Iraq and Syria.
The emir confirmed this participation.
"We've been asked by our American friends if we can join, and we did," he said.
But he insisted that beyond defeating bad boy movements in Syria, the long-term aim should be to "punish" the Syrian government.
"The main cause of all this is the regime in Syria, and this regime should be punished," he said.
"If we think that we're going to get rid of the terrorist movements and leave those regimes doing what -- this regime especially, doing what he is doing -- then terrorist movements will come back again," he warned.

[ARABNEWS] The lightning takeover by Iranian catspaws of Yemen's capital this week is a potential boost for Iran, while the US is preoccupied with fighting radicals, analysts said.
It is still unclear what the links are between the Ansarullah, or Huthi, rebels and Shiite-ruled Iran, but Tehran will no doubt be pleased by a move that offers the prospect of expanding its influence on the Arabian Peninsula.
But while it is also unclear what the rebels plan to do now, any ambitions they may have to dominate the whole country are out of the question.

Sometimes we're forced to take sides. We can't have an Iran staging base right on Saudi Arabia's border.
It's bad enough they are across the Straits of Hormuz. And now IS can just waltz into the Saudi oil fields at a moments notice.

[AnNahar] British police released radical preacher Anjem Choudary on bail on Friday, a day after he and eight others were arrested in an investigation into a banned extremist group.
Choudary said his arrest was "politically motivated", telling reporters that the government "waited until the day before a major vote on a war against Muslims for a high-profile series of arrests."
British lawmakers on Friday overwhelmingly voted in favor to join U.S.-led airstrikes in Iraq against Islamic State (IS) militants, who have seized control of vast areas of the country and beheaded a series of foreign hostages.
"I've been released from police custody. Just in time for Cameron to declare war on Islam & Muslims in Iraq & Syria," Choudary wrote on Twitter.
Police said the arrests were part of an investigation into Al-Muhajiroun, a banned extremist group co-founded by Choudary, a Briton of Pakistani descent known for making inflammatory statements.
A 47-year-old former lawyer, Choudary was among nine men arrested on Thursday in a police swoop. He has been bailed until January.
Another two suspects were detained in their car on a motorway on Friday, one on suspicion of "encouraging terrorism" and the other for "assisting an offender".
"These arrests and searches are part of an ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism and are not in response to any immediate public safety risk," police said.

[NY Times] Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... , the North Korean leader, is "not feeling well," a state-run television station reported this week, in a rare revelation about his health.
As Fred likes to say, pray for sepsis...
In a documentary broadcast on Thursday, the North's Central TV showed Mr. Kim, who has not been seen in public in recent weeks, walking with a limp while visiting a factory in Nampo, a provincial town southwest of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, last month. A narrator intoned about the tireless work of Mr. Kim, "our marshal, who lights the path of leadership for the people like a flame, although he was not feeling well."
Central TV, a key channel of government propaganda, mentioned Mr. Kim's physical trouble in the context of what it called his selfless dedication to his people. Still, it was so rare for the news media in North Korea to discuss the condition of the supreme leader that Thursday's report was widely picked up by the South Korean news media on Friday.

[AnNahar] Hundreds of people gathered in Gay Paree Friday answering a call by Moslem leaders to denounce the "barbarism" of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Imams and ordinary Moslems have rallied to condemn the execution of 55-year-old mountaineer Herve Gourdel this week by murderous Moslems in Algeria with ties to the IS jihadists, as the country mourned the brutal murder.

Meanwhile, not to be outdone by Le Belle France, in Amerika Muslims are demanding Sharia law + supporting local beheadings.
[ABNA.IR] According to the London-based monthly Moslem News, the 29 year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was employed by a firm subcontracted by the energy company EDF. He worked as a project manager and as part of the role he was allowed access nuclear installations from 2012 to 2013.
However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... in March 2014 he was refused permission to work at Nogent-sur-Seine nuclear power station in Eastern La Belle France. Authorities said he had failed a vetting process and was not allowed entry, the publication reported.
"Officials alleged he had links with a terror group and that he was in contact with a holy man involved in recruiting people to fight in Iraq. These claims were rejected by the suspect, and his lawyer Sefen Guez said, "There is no proof of these supposed links." Later in June the ban was overturned by an appeals court. Yet back to work a month later and the man was refused access again."
The Moslem News reported the court in the North-eastern town of Chalons-en-Champagne had revealed that the management could prevent those "undergoing a process of political and religious radicalisation" from accessing sensitive sites.
Sefen Guez said: "This country respects the rule of law and my client, a qualified man with no criminal record who practises his religion in a normal way, like many other French Moslems, would quite naturally like to know the reasons for this ban."
He added that "considering the current atmosphere in La Belle France, his religious leanings cannot be ruled out" as a reason behind the ban. But officials from the police chief's office said: "It goes without saying that the ban was not based on criteria such as religion or race. Our judgement is based on security issues."
The court in the North-eastern town of Chalons-en-Champagne upheld the ban saying the management could prevent those "undergoing a process of political and religious radicalisation" from accessing sensitive sites.
The man now awaits the outcome as the second appeal case is pending a decision at the end of the month, the monthly's report on Islamphobia and discrimination said.

No worries, his H1b visa and desk at Oak Ridge has probably already been approved.
[IsraelTimes] The former US ambassador to Turkey said that the Turkish government has actively supported the Nusra Front, the Islamist Syrian rebel group that is a branch of al-Qaeda and other jihadist groups in Syria.
According to a report in The Telegraph, Francis Ricciardone, who was the enjoy until June, said Ankara decided to work with these krazed killer groups in an attempt to make them more "moderate" and refused to close the borders to them.
"We ultimately had no choice but to agree to disagree," he said, according to the report. "The Turks frankly worked with groups for a period, including al Nusra, whom we finally designated as we're not willing to work with."

[AnNahar] Turkey said Friday it was prepared to take any measure that ensures its own security in the fight against 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.... bully boys, keeping Ankara's options open amid growing pressure from its Western allies for concrete action.
Ankara has for months frustrated the West with its distinctly low-key role in the campaign against IS jihadists but there have been signs over the last days it is shifting its approach.
"If any military operation or a solution carries the perspective of bringing peace and stability to the region, we will support it," Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told a meeting of his ruling party in Ankara.
"We will take whatever measures our national security requires," he said, but without giving details about what such measures could entail.
Turkey is under pressure from the United States to play an active role in the broad coalition to defeat the jihadists, who have seized large swathes of territory in neighboring Iraq and Syria.
IS holy warriors have advanced on the mainly Kurdish Syrian town of Ain al-Arab, just a few kilometers south of the Turkish border. Davutoglu said some 160,000 refugees have now fled from there into Turkey.
Ankara had justified its reticent cooperation by saying its priority was to save dozens of Turkish nationals kidnapped by IS in Iraq. But after its citizens were freed over the weekend, Ankara's tone has changed.
On Tuesday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... welcomed U.S.-led air strikes against the holy warriors in Syria, saying Ankara could provide military or logistical support for the air campaign.
But it still remains unclear how extensive Turkish involvement would be.
Davutoglu said Turkey would oppose any operation in the Middle East region that has the aim of controlling oil and other energy resources.
A key moment in determining further Turkish action could come on October 2 when parliament convenes to consider extending the scope of two existing mandates allowing the government to take military action in Syria and Iraq.
Reports have said the United States is pressing Turkey to allow U.S. forces the use of the Incirlik air base for launching air raids on IS in northern Syria.
Erdogan, currently in the United States to attend the U.N. General Assembly, on Thursday held two hours of talks with U.S. Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....

[AnNahar] A "Syrian-Syrian deal" that is currently in the making might involve the release of the captive Lebanese troops, a media report said on Friday, as the chief of the Qaeda-linked al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front in Syria's Qalamun threatened to wage "war" inside Leb.
"The negotiations have apparently matured," LBCI television reported.
"The deal will be Syrian-Syrian given the complications of the negotiations between Leb and al-Nusra," the TV network added, citing information obtained from an unnamed source.
Under the alleged deal, "an exchange will occur between al-Nusra and the Lebanese army, which will include the captive troops and the gunnies who were nabbed Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! in (the Bekaa border town of) Arsal," LBCI said.
It noted that the army had arrested scores of gunnies during the August battle with al-Nusra and the 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 have not been referred to court and the principle of swapping them for the captive troops has been approved by all parties," LBCI added.
It also pointed out that Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... will play a key role in the deal, given the fact that "it has dozens of Nusra and IS captives in its custody."
"Hizbullah has expressed willingness to exchange the captives it has for the hostage troops," LBCI said, adding that "it has also voiced readiness to mediate with the Syrian regime to secure the release of detainees and prisoners held by Syrian authorities."
The TV network also reported that a 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... i envoy had arrived in Beirut on Friday.
"He did not head to Arsal as he is awaiting the outcome of the ongoing negotiations, which have been described as strenuous and serious," LBCI added.
Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, there was only one thought in the mouse's mind: I can do this! I can do this! Then the trap sprung... Abou Malek al-Talleh, the so-called emir of al-Nusra in Qalamun, warned Friday that "jihadists are in their thousands across Leb, awaiting the permission to start the battle."
"War is looming on the horizon and the battle with Hizbullah will not only be limited to the border area and the mountains anymore," he added, in an audio recording.
"We have managed to break all the security barriers in all Lebanese regions," Abou Malek said.
Addressing Islamist inmates at Leb's Roumieh prison, he added: "Our hearts are with you and a solution is only a matter of several days."
The holy warriors, who kidnapped around 35 troops and coppers during the Arsal battle, have reportedly set several conditions to freeing the captives, including the release of Islamist inmates held in Roumieh prison.
They killed three of the hostages in August and September and have threatened to execute more if their demands were not met.
[AnNahar] The army on Friday received a new shipment of ammunition as part of the U.S. military assistance program to the Lebanese Armed Forces, state-run National News Agency reported.
How much of it will be transshipped immediately to Hezbollah units fighting in Syria?
How far are we drawing down our own stocks, and when are they being topped off?
"The army's Logistics Brigade received at the Rafik Hariri International Airport a quantity of ammunition of various types, in the presence of a number of officers and members of the U.S. defense cooperation bureau in Leb," NNA said.
"This new batch is part of the U.S. assistance program to the Lebanese army and of the commitments and agreements signed between the two sides," NNA added.
The first shipment of arms and ammunition was delivered to the army on August 29 as part of U.S. military aid aimed at supporting the army in its combat of terrorism.
U.S. Ambassador to Leb David Hale has said that "support for the Lebanese army and other security services is a top priority for the U.S."
Deadly festivities broke out between the army and Islamist gunnies in the Bekaa border town of Arsal on August 2 over the arrest of a member of the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front, in one of the most dangerous spillovers of the Syrian conflict to date.
The fighting ended with a ceasefire on August 7 but the turbans kidnapped around 35 troops and coppers.
The development prompted the U.S. to pledge to bolster the army, while Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor.

[AnNahar] Jihadists with the 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 have stopped oil extraction from fields in Deir Ezzor province in eastern Syria after U.S.-led strikes targeted refineries, activists told AFP on Friday.
"Oil extraction has been halted because of the security situation," said Leith al-Deiri, an activist in Deir Ezzor who spoke to AFP via the Internet.
The U.S.-led coalition striking positions of the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria since Tuesday has not targeted any oil fields, but it has hit several makeshift refineries used by the turbans.
The only field in Deir Ezzor now operating is the Coneco gas field, which is used to produce electricity for six provinces, said Deiri, who used a pseudonym for fear of persecution by the jihadists.
Another activist from Deir Ezzor, Rayan al-Furati, confirmed the halt.
Extraction, he said, "has been stopped temporarily".
"Before, people used to go a lot" to buy oil from the jihadists, said Furati, who also used a pseudonym.
"People... would wait four days to get oil, because there was so much demand. But now there are no customers... There are no traders or clients going to the fields, fearing the strikes," he said via the Internet.
Deir Ezzor is home to six major oil fields and the Coneco gas field.
All the fields have fallen into the hands of IS since the jihadist group took over the majority of Deir Ezzor province.
