The Origins and Evolution of ISIS in Libya
[Libya Herald] A report on the origins of ISIS in Libya concludes that Western policy must seek to get Libyan militias and local councils to take ownership of governance and justice issues, rather than merely directing them to fight ISIS or other jihadists. It adds that ISIS is a symptom‐rather than a cause‐of broader Libyan problems, especially weak governance.

The report, The Origins and Evolution of ISIS in Libya, by Jason Pack, Rhiannon Smith, Karim Mezran, examine ISIS’s pre-history, birth, expansion, consolidation, and dispersal in Libya, as well as the broader political context of the country. It offers advice and recommendations for how Western governments and militaries should approach jihadist actors globally.

For the past three decades, the 62-page report states, Libya has been a rich recruiting ground for global jihad. Investigating the precursors and then subsequent evolution of 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....
of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and other murderous Moslem actors throughout this period presents actionable insights into how jihadist actors coalesce; how they interfere in post-conflict state building; the threats they pose to civilians, nascent economies, and external states; and finally, what complexities remain when their hold on territory has been eradicated, but their adherents have not been killed nor their ideology debunked.

Over the last three years, the report continues, ISIS has become the enemy of the vast majority of the Libyan people. By ignoring Libyan tribal norms‐killing too many people and brutally crushing resistance‐ISIS first lost the city of Derna in early 2015, and then later, its stronghold in the city of Sirte in late 2016.

This fits into a larger regional dynamic, whereby ISIS’s brutality has tended to backfire, while its administrative capacity has won it support. As such, ISIS initially thrived in vulnerable localities in Libya because it exploited local cleavages and because previous central governments were reluctant to devolve power to local authorities, the report says.

Surveying this history, the report concludes that Western policy must seek to get militias and local councils to take ownership of governance and justice issues, rather than merely directing them to fight ISIS or other jihadists.

True national reconciliation and inclusiveness in Libya, especially between formerly pro-Qadaffy actors and rebels, and between anti-Islamist and pro-Islamist actors, is required to end the cycle of statelessness and radicalization in Libya, the report states.

Significantly, this report sheds light on Libya’s constantly evolving position within the global jihadist networks connecting Afghanistan, Iraq, Europe, and North Africa. It is out of this milieu that Salman Abedi, the British-Libyan jacket wallah involved in the May 22, 2017, Manchester Arena attack, sprung. His father supported the al-Qaeda aligned Libyan Islamic Fighting Group in the 1990s, and it was a natural progression for Salman to transition from that milieu to ISIS, the report says.

As western governments address this constantly evolving threat, they must understand that there is no such thing as a purely military strategy to defeat ISIS in Libya. The group is a symptom‐rather than a cause‐of broader Libyan problems, especially weak governance.

The dysfunctional tyranny exercised by Libyan militias is at the heart of the country’s instability over the past five years and contributed to attracting ISIS. Therefore, the report explains, any anti-ISIS strategy for Libya cannot be based on counterterror efforts alone. International and Libyan policy must treat the root causes that made Libya’s governance vacuum an effective incubator for jihadist operations.

Dozens feared dead after abandoned in Niger desert
[Al Jazeera] Dozens of people are feared dead after human traffickers abandoned them in Niger's northern desert without food or water, a senior local official said on Monday.

Fatoumi Boudou, the prefect of Niger's northern region of Bilma, told the AFP news agency that authorities on Sunday rescued 24 people who were part of a group of "70 people who had left in three vehicles from Agadez for Libya".

Agadez is a remote town in Niger on the edge of the Sahara desert that has become a major people-smuggling point.

The traffickers "abandoned them in the middle of the desert without food or water", Boudou said, adding that those rescued had spoken of several dead bodies without specifying a number.

But the Agadez-based Air Info website, citing a security source, said scores of bodies had been buried on Sunday by troops and locals.

A local radio station had said 52 dead bodies had been discovered by authorities on Sunday.

Arabia
Turkey refuses to pull out troops from Qatar, citing sovereign rights
[RUDAW.NET] Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan rejected calls from Arab nations for Turkey to close its military base in Qatar, vowing to continue to work with its Gulf-state ally in a speech today in Istanbul.

“We welcome [Qatar’s position] because we consider the 13-point list to be against international law,” Turkish Hurriyet Daily News reported that Erdoğan told reporters on Sunday in Istanbul. “What we are talking about here is an attack on the sovereign rights of a state. There cannot be such an attack on countries’ sovereignty rights in international law.”

Qatar has been issued 13 demands which among other things include closing the Turkish military base, cutting relations with Iran, closing Al Jazeera television and paying reparations.

Bahrain's FM in about-face over Turkish base in Qatar
[Al Jazeera] Just over two weeks after stating that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's military presence in 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 no relation to an ongoing Gulf crisis, Bahrain's foreign minister appears to have performed a complete u-turn.

Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa on Monday accused Qatar of creating a "military escalation" in the regional diplomatic dispute, in an apparent reference to the long-planned deployment of Turkish troops in Qatar's capital, Doha, in recent days.

"The disagreement with Qatar is a political and security dispute and has never been military," the Bahraini foreign minister said on Twitter.

"But the deployment of foreign troops with their armoured vehicles is a military escalation for which Qatar will bear the consequences."

Yet, these remarks contradicted previous statements made by Khalifa during a visit to Turkey in June 10, three days after Turkey's parliament fast-tracked the approval of a 2016 agreement with Qatar that allowed troops to be deployed to a Turkish military base in the Gulf state.

Bahrain blames Qatar for ‘military tensions’ in Persian Gulf crisis
[Iran Press TV] Bahrain's foreign minister has accused 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...
of creating a military escalation in the Persian Gulf region in the wake of a recent move by 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. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and its allies to sever their diplomatic relations with Doha, and close their borders and airspace with the gas-rich kingdom.

"The disagreement with Qatar is a political and security dispute, and has never been military," Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifah wrote in a post published on his Twitter page on Monday.

He added, "But the deployment of foreign troops with their armored vehicles is a military escalation for which Qatar will bear the consequences."

"Certain regional powers are mistaken if they think that their intervention will resolve the problem," Sheikh Khalid said on Twitter.

On Sunday, Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Huseyin Muftuoglu stated that Turkish efforts to set up a military base in Qatar had nothing to do with the ongoing diplomatic crisis between Doha and other Arab countries.

"The purpose of the deployment of the Turkish Armed Forces in Qatar is to contribute to the security of the region as well as to provide Qatar with support in military training. Our activities are not against any particular country," he said.

Iran-Qatar ties benefit regional nations: Rouhani
[Iran Press TV] Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s policy is based on strengthening relations with 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...
, stressing that "brotherly and friendly" Tehran-Doha ties will be beneficial to regional nations.

In a telephone conversation with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Sunday, Rouhani said the Iranian government and nation would stand by Qatar.

He added that Iran sought continued cooperation with Qatar and stressed the importance of making use of the enormous bilateral capacities to further strengthen relations.

"[Iran’s] help for Qatar’s economy and the expansion of ties, particularly between the two countries’ private sectors, can be among our common goals," Rouhani said.
The Iranian chief executive added that the Islamic Theocratic Republic wanted the rule of moderation and rationality in relations among countries in the region and expressed hope that the existing regional issues would be solved through dialogue.

"We believe that if there is a dispute among regional countries, pressure, threat or sanctions are not an appropriate way to settle disputes," Rouhani said.
He expressed the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s readiness to contribute to and help the establishment of peace in the region.

Rouhani further criticized as unacceptable the Saudi-led embargo on Qatar, saying, "Our country’s airspace, land and [territorial] waters will always be open to Qatar as a brotherly and neighboring country."

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Russian intelligence says Telegram app used in bombing Saint Petersburg metro
[AlAhram] Russia's FSB security agency on Monday said the Telegram messaging service was used by those behind the Saint Petersburg metro bombing, the latest salvo by authorities after they threatened to block the app.
That would be the work of Akbarzhon Jalilov, also spellt Akbarzhon Dzhalilov, the Kyrgyz-Russian sushi chef mechanic. Both ISIS and Al Nusra recruiters were arrested at the time.
"During the probe into the April 3 terrorist attack in the Saint Petersburg metro, the FSB received reliable information about the use of Telegram by the jacket wallah, his accomplices and their criminal mastermind abroad to conceal their criminal plans," the FSB said in a statement.

They used Telegram "at each stage of the preparation of this terrorist attack," it said.

Fifteen people were killed in the suicide bombing, which was claimed by the little-known Imam Shamil Battalion, a group suspected of links to Al-Qaeda.

Telegram is a free Russian-designed messaging app that lets people exchange messages, photos and videos in groups of up to 5,000. It has attracted about 100 million users since its launch in 2013.

But the service has drawn the ire of critics who say it can let criminals and gunnies communicate without fear of being tracked by police, pointing in particular to its use by Islamic State

bully boys.

The FSB charged that "the members of the international terrorist organizations on Russian territory use Telegram".

The app is already under fire in Moscow after Russia's state communications watchdog on Friday threatened to ban it, saying the company behind the service had failed to submit company details for registration.

Telegram's secretive Russian chief executive, Pavel Durov, who has previously refused to bow to government regulation that would compromise the privacy of users, had called that threat "paradoxical" on one of his social media accounts.

He said it would force users, including "high-ranking Russian officials" to communicate via apps based in the United States like WhatsApp.

The 32-year-old had previously created Russia's popular VKontakte social media site, before founding Telegram in the United States.

Durov said in April that the app had "consistently defended our users' privacy" and "never made any deals with governments."

The app is one of several targeted in a legal crackdown by Russian authorities on the internet and on social media sites in particular.

Since January 1, internet companies have been required to store all users' personal data at data centres in Russia and provide it to the authorities on demand.

Draft legislation that has already secured initial backing in parliament would make it illegal for messaging services to have anonymous users.

Ohio restores websites hacked with pro-Islamic State messages
[AlAhram] Ohio officials say they've restored 11 government websites that were hacked with a message purporting to be supportive of 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.

group.

A front man for the Department of Administrative Services says affected websites were restored by Monday morning. That department is working with public safety officials to investigate how sites were hacked Sunday with a message that ended with: "I love the Islamic state."

It affected websites for the governor and his wife, the lieutenant governor and the inspector general, as well as Ohio's Medicaid and prisons agencies. The list also included sites for Ohio's casino and facilities commissions, the offices of Health Transformation and Workforce Transformation, and the government streamlining effort LeanOhio.

The same message infiltrated government websites in Brookhaven, New York, and Howard County, Maryland.
The Times of Israel adds:
The message was left by "Team System Dz".

Authors of the website "Cryptosphere," which tracks hackers worldwide, have detailed dozens, if not hundreds, of similar hacks in recent years by the so-called Team System DZ, which they called a "pro-ISIS hacker crew" and claim are based in Algeria.
In the past, the group also grabbed credit for similar hacks in the past in Richland County, Wisconsin, and in places such as Aberdeen, Scotland, and Sweden.

The hack is part of ongoing cyberterrorism that has impacted governments and corporations across the globe.

Some see these types of hacks -- sometimes called "defacement" -- as simply a nuisance, though in some instances, they have been disruptive to work and government life.

But others see cause for alarm. "Wake up freedom-loving Americans. Radical Islam infiltrating the heartland," Josh Mandel, the Ohio treasurer and a Republican candidate for US Senate, said in a tweet Sunday.

Impacted websites, they said, have included those for a synagogue in Florida, the student union at the University of New Brunswick in Canada, for UK Rugby and a number of websites on WordPress.

India-Pakistan
Anger grows in Parachinar after three attacks in six months
[DAWN] Members of the Shia community in Parachinar protested Monday as the corpse count from twin blasts three days earlier rose to 72, marking a grisly Eid for the town worst hit by militancy so far in 2017.

Officials confirmed that five more injured of Friday’s blasts died in hospital, which pushed the corpse count to 72. At least 10 others are said to be in precarious condition.

Dozens of protesters offered their Eid prayers wearing black armbands in the market in Parachinar, where the bombs tore through crowds of shoppers on Friday, local officials said.

"The corpse count from Friday's blasts has reached 69," local administration official Basir Khan Wazir told AFP. He said the local administration was trying to negotiate with the protesters.

Parachinar, capital of Kurram Agency
...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora...
, a mainly Shia area in the tribal belt, had already suffered two deadly kabooms in its markets this year.

It was the site of the first major attack in Pakistain in 2017, when a bomb killed 24 people in January in an attack claimed by the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi
... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ...
al-Alami and a splinter group of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) led by Sheheryar Mehsud.

In March, a second attack in another market killed 22 people. The attack was claimed by the Jamaatul Ahrar
...A Pak Taliban splinter group that split off from the Mullah Fazlullah faction because it wasn't violent enough...
Friday's assault ─ also claimed by the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi al-Alami ─ brought the town's loss of life due to terror attacks up to 115, more than any one city in Pakistain has suffered so far this year.

"We have been a constant target of the Taliban but the government has always failed us," Muzamil Hussain, an activist from Parachinar told AFP Friday.

Authorities have said that after the first two attacks, checkposts and barriers were set up around the city's markets.

"I don't understand how can someone drive a bomb-laden vehicle through all the checkposts of the military and other paramilitary troops and reach here, it simply isn't logical, and this is what we are protesting against," he said.

ISIS wives escaping Raqqa regret joining group ‘that deviated from Islam’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Whether they joined their husbands willingly or not, many wives of ISIS murderous Moslems say the group’s turban members are desperate for their families to leave as Iraqi armed forces inch their way closer to recapturing towns close to the center of djinn-infested Mosul.
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
"We wish for nothing except to go back to our home countries. We regret our decisions to come here and join our husbands in the first place," one woman, who wished to remain unnamed, told Al Arabiya.
Shouldn't they be enslaved? That's in the Islamic rule book, isn't it?
Iraqi forces on Monday seized control of al-Farouq district on the northwestern side of Old Mosul on Monday. The neighborhood is located on the opposite side of the historic al-Nuri Mosque, which was destroyed by ISIS last week.

In Raqqa, US-backed fighters seized a quarter of Syria's Raqqa from ISIS group, a monitor said Monday, less than three weeks after they first entered the northern city.

Noor al-Huda al-Qassim is one of the wives who managed to escape by help from her own husband, who said the situation in Raqqa was growing so desperate that he forced his wife to pose as a refugee and flee with civilians.

"My husband came to me and said what is important for now is that you leave the state (ISIS) and we’ll find you a way to reach your family," she said.

Many women joined ISIS back in 2014 willingly after the bully boy group opened up a "marriage bureau" for women who wanted to marry its murderous Moslems in Syria. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
women who escaped the group told Al Arabiya that many quickly became disillusioned once they realized the reality of life under ISIS rule.

"Above all, we regret joining a group that deviated from Islam," the unnamed ISIS wife said.
