Somali troops repel Al-Shabaab attack in military base in Galmudug
[ShabelleMedia] At least 5 are reportedly killed and 10 others maimed after al-Shabaab
...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them...
attacked a Somali military base in the Galgadud region on Monday morning, locals said.

The attack began with two boom-mobiles at the gate of the army outpost and followed a heavy gunbattle erupted between the Somali troops and the attackers in Qayib village.

The Lions of Islam fought for 3 hours in the area, which lies about 90kms east of Dhusamareb, the administrative capital of Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
State of Somalia.

The al-Shabaab was pushed back from the village by the local residents and the Somali troops who inflicted casualties on the fighters who failed in their attempt to seize the base.

Qayib is among several locations in Galgadud that were recaptured by the Somali army and the local clan militia, which is trying to liberate its territory from al-Shabaab.
This comes just hours after the Somali government banned clerics from visiting Al-Shabaab strongholds with the aim of engaging them. The government has been keen to eliminate Al-Shabaab both militarily and ideologically, but President Hassan Sheikh has insisted that military operations are necessary.

Al-Shabaab has been on a revenge mission according to reports obtained from government sources, having lost several strategic towns which have been fundamental in their extortion mission. The government has also warned business owners against parting money with the group.

The militants still control large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia, but the government is making steady advances thus the current revenge mission. Fighting is still ongoing and Garowe Online will continue giving the public updates on the current situation.

Separatist militias prepare for all-out war as they once again reject Saudi-led puppet government
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militias raised the state of readiness in 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...
’s southern port city of Aden, after they rejected the return of the head of the Riyadh-Formed Presidential Council Rashad al-Alimi, Southern Medias sources reported on Monday.

The sources said that the transitional militia summoned all its members, stopped vacations and deployed dozens of bully boyz and created checkpoints in the streets of the city, especially in the vicinity of the airport, refineries, port and headquarters of the STC.

The sources added, that the presidential storm brigades’ forces stationed at the gates of the al-Ma’ashiq Palace had set up checkpoints on the roads leading to it.

The STC militia has erected two new checkpoints near the Saudi-led coalition camp in the city of al-Shaab in Al Buraiqeh District west of Aden, where Saudi forces are stationed, the sources said.

the security alert prompted the head of government, loyal to the coalition to arrange to leave Aden, especially after the STC openly accused him of obstructing the implementation of the Riyadh Agreement, which has failed since its signing on November 5, 2019.

Home Front: WoT
Human rights organisation director escapes assassination attempt in New York
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The regional director of the European Organization for Human Rights Mohammed Al Zubaidi has survived an liquidation attempt in New York while returning to his home.

A lawyer for the activist al-Zubaidi, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that al-Zubaidi suffered light burns as a result of an unknown person spraying hydrogen oxide on his face and fleeing from the place, stressing the attack caused minor burns to al-Zubaidi’s face, swelling in the eyes and hard breathing.

The lawyer accused the Saudi lobby in the United States of being behind the person who carried out the attacked, weeks after al-Zubaidi initiated a call for the free 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...
bloc to convene abroad with activists from the Saudi opposition to condemn Saudi crimes against innocents.

Al-Zubaidi’s lawyer expressed his surprise at this attack, as he was riding in his car and did not expect the Saudi lobby to dare to commit the crime.

As a result, there is a large movement by Yemeni activists at the level of the US Congress to condemn Saudi terrorism against civilians in Yemen and violations of human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
. As a result of that call, the Saudi lobby made an unsuccessful attempt to attack al-Zubaidi.

#3  Probably beauty parlor hydrogen peroxide, which is much stronger than the drug-store stuff.

An alternative explanation is holy water which is known to burn demons. Given that the vic is part of an organization with 'human rights' in the name, I prefer this explanation.

#5  Do they call it attempted assassination when islamists do their acid attacks on non-muslims? This seems like a retardo jiahidi wanna-be who pulled a disinfectant instead of an acid for his attack.

Anyways.TIL:

An oxide is any chemical compound that contains one or more oxygen atoms.

A peroxide is any compound that is composed of an oxygen-oxygen single bond.

#6  The common form of hydrogen oxide is better known as water.
There ae some people who rarely contact the stuff, but it is rarely fatal except in very large quantities.

India-Pakistan
Police file chargesheet against five persons in Budgam soldier's abduction, killing case
[GreaterKashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
] Police on Monday said that they have produced chargesheet against five persons including three slain LeT Lions of Islam in the abduction and killing of an army soldier in Budgam.

Quoting a police statement, news agency GNS reported that the police produced the chargesheet in the abduction and murder case of Mohammad Sameer Malla, a resident of Lokipora Khag in Budgam.

Police said that the accused include Athar Illahi Sheikh, an OGW (Over Ground Worker)
Over ground workers (OGWs) are people who help militants, or terrorists, with logistical support, cash, shelter, and other infrastructure with which armed groups and insurgency movements such as Hizbul Mujaheddin and Jaish-e-Muhammad in Jammu and Kashmir can operate....
of LeT who is presently lodged in Kot Bilawal Jail, slain LeT commander Mohammad Yousuf Dar alias Kantroo, slain LeT terrorist Faisal Hafeez Dar, slain LeT terrorist Hilal Ahmad Sheikh alias Hanzullah, and foreign LeT terrorist Ghazi Bhai (with aliases Pathan Bhai and Usman Bhai), who is on the lam.

"During investigation and collection of evidences in the case , offences under section 364, 302,392, 201,149IPC,16,18,19,20,38,39 ULA(P) Act were established against the above five accused and the chargesheet to this effect was produced before Hon'ble Court after obtaining the sanction from the competent authority," the police statement said.

Malla, who was a soldier working with army's 05 JAKLI, disappeared on March 07 near his home when he was on leave and three days later his dead body was found buried in a ditch in Labran village of Khag.

"Accordingly a formal Case FIR number 09/2022 U/S 364, 302 IPC was registered in Police Station Khag and investigation was taken up," the police said.

The statement said that during the course of investigation one OGW Ather Illahi Sheikh was apprehended who upon questioning admitted that he along with other four accused Lions of Islam of Lashkar-e-Toibya kidnapped Mohammad Sameer Malla on 7th March.

"They tortured him which resulted in death of Mohammad Sameer Malla in an orchard of Labran village and buried the dead body of the victim in a ditch in nearby field," it said.

Accordingly, Ather Illahi Sheikh was arrested.

"During investigation and searches, three snuffies involved in the said crime got killed in anti bully boy operation in Village Malwa Kunzar on 21/22 April 2022 whileas one accused serial number 05 Ghazi Bhai alias Pathan Pakistain origin terrorist is still on the lam," the police said.

"Pertinent to mention that expert opinions were to be obtained from CFSL Chandhigarh due to which producing chargesheet got little bit delay," the statement read.

Southeast Asia
Philippine military blames IS-linked group for deadly bus bombing in south
[BenarNews] The Philippine military on Monday blamed the Filipino unit 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....
murderous Moslem group for the bombing of a passenger bus that left one person dead and injured 11 others at the weekend in the volatile south.

The vehicle from the Yellow Bus Line, with 29 passengers aboard, was approaching Tacurong City in Sultan Kudarat province when the home-made bomb went off at noon on Sunday, regional military commander Maj. Gen. Roy Galido said.

"This is a cowardly act of the terrorist group and peace spoilers that put the lives of innocent civilians in danger and doing so is a violation of both human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
and international humanitarian law," Galido said.

"In this regard, we are working with the police Sherlocks and ready to assist them in law enforcement operations to neutralize these terrorists."

Philippine National Police spokeswoman Col. Jean Fajardo said the likely motive was extortion. She noted that the same bus line was attacked in a May bombing that maimed two passengers.

"Before the bombing incident, the management of the Yellow Bus received a call. Apparently they are extorting money from the bus company," she told news hounds in Manila.

Galido identified the suspects as members of the southern-based group Daulah Islamiyah, the Filipino term for Islamic State.

It consists of fighters from several Filipino murderous Moslem factions, including the Maute Group, which had provided men for the siege of Marawi City by pro-IS snuffies in 2017 that left more than 1,200 people, mostly combatants, dead.

The military said the latest bombing could also be a diversionary tactic by the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters
...a MILF splinter group aligned with the Islamic State...
(BIFF), another pro-IS group, to ease military pressure against them. Many of BIFF’s fighters often operate with other groups, such as Daulah Islamiyah.

Suspected members of a BIFF unit have been on the run from military personnel since Saturday, when government troops killed two snuffies during an operation in Shariff Aguak, a town in Maguindanao province. The military launched the offensive in retaliation for a murderous Moslem attack that killed one soldier as soldiers manned a bridge in the area on Friday.

Rommel Banlaoi, a counter-terrorism analyst at the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research, said BIFF was gearing up for more attacks after its leader, Abu Turaife, allegedly released a new video urging his followers to press on with a jihad in the south.

Turaife is one of the hardcore leaders of BIFF, a splinter group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which signed a peace deal with Manila in 2014 and now controls a Moslem autonomous area in the south.

"The remaining followers of Turaife have acquired the skill of bomb making from their previous colleagues in the MILF," Banlaoi said.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syrian Government Retaliates Against HTS Attack – Khmeimim
[NPASyria] Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria, affiliated with the Russian Ministry of Defense, said on Monday that Syrian government forces targeted posts of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS, formerly al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-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), responding to a previous attack launched by the latter.

Tass cited Deputy Head of the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria, Oleg Yegorov, as saying, "Syria’s missile and air forces delivered a strike at the facilities of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group in response to a massive drone attack staged by holy warriors on the positions of Syrian government troops near Salma in the Idlib de-escalation zone, which claimed the lives of five Syrian soldiers."

The Syrian air force "destroyed a bad boy training camp and their underground shelters near the settlement of Ashkhani Takhtani. Ninety-three bad boys, including field commanders Saddam al-Dedali and Abdullah al-Ahmed, were killed," Yegorov added.

He noted that 135 faceless myrmidons of the holy warriors were seriously injured.

The government strike targeted a drone workshop, a mobile radar station and up to 40 ready-to-use combat unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Tass.

The Russian Reconciliation Center said on November 5 that HTS intends to carry out a false flag operation in Idlib Governorate.

On Sunday, the de-escalation zone, in the countryside of Aleppo, Idlib, Hama and Latakia Governorates, witnessed mutual shelling between the government forces and Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian opposition factions, known as Syrian National Army (SNA).

The areas in the de-escalation zone in northwestern Syria continue to witness daily exchange of bombardment between the SNA factions and the government forces, despite being part of the ceasefire agreement signed between Russia and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
in March 2020, which stipulates a halt of military action in Idlib.

Government Forces Attempt To Advance Into HTS’ Areas In Syria’s Idlib
[NPASyria] Soldiers of the Syrian government forces attempted on Monday to infiltrate areas controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS) in Idlib, after the latter’s bid to penetrate the government-held areas in Hama countryside.

These attempts come following government forces’ shelling of some of the displaced people’s camps in northwest of Idlib city, killing and wounding about 80 civilians.

The HTS (formerly al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-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) thwarted the Syrian government forces’ attempt to advance on the axes of Jabal al-Zawiya, south of Idlib.

A source in the al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room told North Press that the government forces tried early Monday to advance towards the HTS-held area in San in eastern part of Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib.

"After detecting the attacking forces, the HTS’ members were able to thwart the attempt and force them to withdraw after killing and wounding about 12 soldiers," the source added, citing the words of the government’s emergency medical teams while speaking on walkie-talkies.

The government forces’ attempt in Zawiya Mountain was preceded by a similar one by an HTS-affiliated group. The group infiltrated the government’s positions in Jurin camp in the al-Ghab Plain in the far northwest of Hama Governorate.

According to the same source, the HTS’ group managed to penetrate into the government forces’ positions, sparking festivities between both parties, which resulted in the killing of three Death Eaters of the group and the killing and wounding of about 15 soldiers of the government forces.
