[All Africa] Dozens of people were killed in twin boom-mobile blasts in the Somalian capital, Mogadishu, in what appears to have been a foiled attack on the presidential palace. Islamist murderous Moslem group al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... grabbed credit.
The number of deaths from Friday's twin boom-mobilekabooms in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, rose to at least 38, according to officials on Saturday.
Al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group al-Shabaab has grabbed credit for the attack, which targeted the presidential palace and subsequently a hotel. The attacks follow months of relative calm.
- A vehicle that was loaded with explosives was used to try to breach a checkpoint on the way into the presidential palace Villa Somalia, according to officials who said security forces thwarted the attack. A blast at the checkpoint was reportedly followed by gunfire.
- A second kaboom later, which destroyed vehicles outside the hotel as well as the compound's perimeter wall, was reported to have claimed a substantial proportion of the casualties.
- The attack was claimed by al-Shabaab in a statement posted online. The group, which claimed to have killed 35 soldiers while having lost five of its fighters, said it was targeting the government and security services.
Security officials claimed they had been successful in thwarting the main thrust of the attack. "The security forces foiled the intent of the terrorists," the AFP news agency reported Abdulahi Ahmed, a security officer, as saying. "They were aiming for key targets, but they could not even go closer, there were five of them killed by the security force."

I recommend this book, “The Fate of Africa; The History of the Continent Since Independence” Meridith, Martin. It discussed the fact that during a famine, all UN and US aide entered the country at Mogadishu. Food was not sent to the moslem north and millions starved. It discusses all the African countries in individual chapters.

's 24-year prison sentence and convictions have been reinstated after the Constitutional Court on Friday set aside the Supreme Court of Appeal's order overturning the Warri bombing convictions, which led to a reduction in his sentence.
Okah was originally sentenced in March 2013 in the South Gauteng High Court after being convicted on 13 counts of terrorism, including engaging in terrorist activities, conspiracy to engage in terrorist activities, and delivering, placing and detonating an bomb, relating to two boom-mobiles detonated in Abuja, Nigeria, on October 1, 2010, the anniversary of the country's independence.
Twelve people were killed and 36 were maimed.
One person was killed and 11 seriously injured in another bombing in Warri on March 15, 2010, at a post-amnesty dialogue meeting.
In both bombings, two boom-mobiles went off minutes apart. The cars were parked in close proximity to each other, News24 reported at the time.
Okah, a Nigerian citizen who has been a permanent resident in South Africa since 2007, was found to be the leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta ... a confederation of bands of bandidos portraying itself of a political organization grabbing for Nigeria's oil boodle ... and was convicted for terrorist acts under the Protection of Constitutional Democracy Against Terrorist and Related Activities Act.
Their last significant pronouncement was a threat in 2013 to bomb Muslim institutions and kill Muslim clerics, but nothing seems to have come of it.

[PRESSTV] Some 14 people have been killed in a ISIS attack on a police headquarters in Yemen's southern port city of Aden.
According to medical and security sources on Saturday, at least 40 people, including women and kiddies, were maimed in the attack in the Tawahi district in southwest Aden.
The ISISTakfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... r terrorist group grabbed credit for the attack via its Amaq news agency.
The incident took place as two bombers detonated two vehicles packed with explosives outside the headquarters' main entrance while six button men attempted to enter the facility.
"All the ... Lions of Islam were liquidated immediately before they could reach the outer gate of the anti-terrorism headquarters," said a statement released by the police.
The attack was the first of its kind since festivities broke out in January between southern separatists and former President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's government, which controls the city.
The fresh outburst began after the separatists managed to take control of a number of sites and military camps run by forces loyal to Hadi following intense festivities.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) in December, was sentenced to 15 years in prison Friday.
Judge Leonie M. Brinkema of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia handed down the sentence on federal charges of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and obstruction of justice.
Young was fired in 2016 after coming under surveillance in 2010 for associations with other terrorism suspects. In 2011, he traveled to Libya and allegedly pursued links with the Jihadists fighting dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest... . Court documents allege Young traveled with "body armor, a kevlar helmet and several other military-style items" and told the FBI he had been with rebels in Libya.
As a result, he no doubt had a great many more jihadi buddies than the two that have been reported.
Eventually, Young was locked away You have the right to remain silent... in July 2016 when FBI informants, posing as U.S. military reservists of Middle Eastern descent who supported ISIS, got him to send them gift card codes for use to bolster the brutal terror group’s jihad. At trial, prosecutors revealed that, in addition to Islamist ties, the Moslem-convert Young also sought out Nazi materials and links online.
The obstruction charges stem from him advising the informant on how to avoid detection as he went to the Middle East to join ISIS. It was after an informant was supposedly with ISIS overseas that he requested Young send money through the gift cards.
Young was convicted in a jury trial in Alexandria, Virginia, in December. At the time, prosecutor Dana J. Boent said, "Nicholas Young swore an oath to protect and defend, and instead violated the public’s trust by attempting to support ISIS."
According to the Justice Department (DOJ) blurb, The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia teamed up with prosecutors from Main DOJ’s National Security Division Counterterrorism Section to pursue the case against Young.
Young faced up to 60 years on the terrorism and obstruction charges. His 15-year sentence means we will serve at least 12 and a half years in federal prison. He is reportedly the first American law enforcement officer convicted for trying to assist ISIS, having joined the Metro Transit Police in 2003.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Seven people were killed and maimed as two kabooms took place in Baghdad, a security source was quoted saying on Saturday.
Speaking to Baghdad Today website, the source said, "a bomb went off near stores in al-Rashidiya region, northeast of Baghdad, leaving three people maimed."
Ambulances, according to the source, rushed to the blast spot and transferred the maimed to hospital for treatment.
Earlier on the day, the same source said "a bomb went kaboom! near a store in Jisr Diyala region, southeast of the capital, leaving a civilian killed and three others injured."
The downing of the Israeli F-16 jet in on February 10 by a Syrian anti-aircraft missile was due to an operational mistake on the part of the pilots, the IDF announced Sunday.
"Between the tension of completing the mission while facing enemy missiles there was an operational mistake on the part of the team whose actions did not match the order of priorities required by the threat it was facing," a senior Israel Air Force officer said, explaining that the pilots did not take the proper evasive measures.

Had to be.
Couldn't have been that the rocket hit the aircraft.

"an operational mistake" is what it's called when you get too far down in the enemy's 'threat fan'.
A tactical mistake is when you don't remember to find out where the threat fan is.

They got to thinking they were flying a dump truck rather than a fighter bomber over defended air space. Something similar happened with the F-117A shot down over Yugoslavia.
[The Nation] Thai security agencies believe Muslim rebels staged two arson attacks in downtown Narathiwat late on Friday night to "create a situation" before a visit by representatives of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. The simultaneous fires damaged a low-price goods shop and a department store in Muang district around midnight. Militants also planted a third firebomb that was a dud.
A military source said the insurgents wanted to escalate the situation before ten OIC representatives visit the southern border provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat late this month. The source said security agencies believe the attackers came from Bacho and Yingor districts in Narathiwat and are under the command of Abdulloh Ulae, who is wanted under several arrest warrants.
The first fire engulfed a rough-hewn shop selling such supplies as kitchen utensils, mosquito nets, mattresses and pillows, before spreading to an aquarium shop next to it, causing damage worth Bt1 million and Bt500,000 respectively.
The fire also burned down a department store in Tambon Bang Nak, causing about Bt10 million in damage. The store was previously attacked by militants in 2012. The department store owner also has stores in Pattani and Yala, and all of them have been hit by arson attacks. However, she said she would not give up yet.
In a related development, gunshots were fired at a shop and a house of policemen in Songkhla province’s Thepha district in two separate attacks on the same night.
[DAWN] Three bombs went kaboom! in different locations around Rakhine's state capital Sittwe early Saturday morning, including at the home of a high ranking official, Myanmar police told AFP, adding that no deaths were reported.
It is the latest violence to hit Rakhine, which is festering with ethnic tensions and has been roiled by communal violence in the north against the Rohingya and insurgencies in other parts of the state.
Bombings in the state capital, however, are rare.
"Three bombs went kaboom! and three other unwent kaboom! bombs were found. A police officer was injured but not seriously," a senior officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.

[AFP] Months after being routed from Marawi, rebels are making a new and deadly attempt to set up a Southeast Asian caliphate in the same region. The gunmen have mustered a force of about 200 fighters and fought a series of skirmishes with security forces this year after troops retook the city last October.
Colonel Romeo Brawner said, "They have not abandoned their objective to create a caliphate in South-east Asia. Mindanao is the most fertile ground. Our countrymen are more vulnerable (to recruitment)."
Struggling with poverty and armed Muslim insurgencies, Mindanao must improve its supervision of Islamic schools, where most young gunmen are recruited, he added.
Gunmen who escaped during the early days of the operation to recapture Marawi are leading the recruitment effort, flush with cash, guns and jewellery looted from the city's banks and private homes. The recruits are mostly locals, but an unspecified number of Indonesians, some with bomb-making skills, have recently arrived there, Brawner said.
The siege of Marawi forced the Philippine military, more used to low-intensity jungle warfare against guerillas, to reorganize and to rewrite their doctrines, with a new emphasis on urban warfare training, he added.
Mindanao military officials said Maute gunmen murdered three traders in the town of Piagapo, near Marawi, last November. Last month, police arrested three suspects over the Piagapo killings. The military also reported skirmishes with Maute gunmen in the towns of Masiu and Pagayawan, near Marawi last month. On February 8, the military killed three militants in Pantar, another neighboring town.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A surge of rocket fire, shelling and air strikes has killed nearly 500 people since Sunday night, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The dead included more than 120 children.
Air strikes killed 21 civilians in the Syrian rebel enclave of Eastern Ghouta on Saturday as major powers bickered over the terms of a ceasefire, a monitor said.
Devestating bombardment
Twelve were killed in the enclave’s largest town Douma, which has been repeatedly hit in the devastating bombardment the government launched last Sunday, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Damascus government and Russia, its ally, say they only target Death Eaters. They have said they seek to stop rebel mortar attacks on the capital and accused faceless myrmidons in Ghouta of holding people as human shields.
Rescuers in Syria’s eastern Ghouta said the bombing would not let up long enough for them to count the bodies, in one of the bloodiest air assaults of the seven-year war.
Warplanes pounded the rebel enclave on Saturday, the seventh day in a row of a fierce escalation by Damascus and its allies, an emergency service, a witness and a monitoring group said.
