Two or three nights later, when the commander was perched on a sofa in the requisitioned civilian house they were using, playing with his phone, a group of civilians entered the room, pushing a man in front of them. They forced him to kneel, his hands tied in front of him with a piece of cloth ripped from his colourless shirt. The locals sat around him, shouting that he was a former Isis executioner.
"Remember when you stood in the middle of that roundabout and killed three men?" said one.
"He’s been working with jihadis since 2005," said another.
The man looked up, confused, and mumbled that it was his brother who had joined Isis, not him.
The commander handed the man’s ID card to a soldier to be burned, to disappear him from official records, and nodded. Kifah, the lean soldier, joyfully dragged the man out into the street. Other soldiers and officers followed, and locals cheered and celebrated. Kifah pushed the man ahead of him, while others kicked and punched the man to the ground, jeering and taunting him, dragged him up and kicked him again, laughing when he fell.
"Sing one of the caliphate songs for us," Cpt Wissam said, laughing hysterically, his eyes blazing with rage. They made their prisoner run in front of them, telling him he was free to go. He ran, stumbling as he tried to pull his falling trousers up with his hands tied. They chased him, kicking and slapping. A soldier jumped in the air, and kicked him in the face with the theatrical relish of a professional kickboxer. He was dragged through an open drain, pulled into a dark side street and forced to kneel.
The man stared blankly at the pile of rubbish in front of him, the powerful headlights of a truck lighting the scene. Behind him stood Kifah, stretching out an arm with an American pistol at the end of it. Another soldier stood behind him, filming on his mobile phone. "This is to revenge all the martyrs killed by Daesh," said Kifah. A single shot rang out, echoing in the deserted street. Blood squirted from the man’s head and he fell on his side. Kifah flipped him on his back with his feet, looked at him and walked away.
"Maybe we should check he’s really dead," said the soldier who was filming.
"If he survived that bullet then he deserves to live," said Kifah.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Sudan has become the first Arab country to acquire the fourth generation Su-35 fighter jets from Russia just ahead of President Omar Ahmed al-Bashir’s first visit to Moscow on Thursday.
The first batch of jets were delivered late last week are considered the backbone air superiority fighters for the Russian airforce. The UAE signed a similar agreement earlier this year to develop the same jets with Russia.
Sudanese deputy air force commander, Salahuddin Abdul Khaliq Saeed, announced the deal in March. He told Sputnik news agency that the aircraft will contribute to the consolidation of Sudan’s defenses and will provide it protection from any threat.
The number of fighters delivered, however, was not released.
Thursday’s visit by Bahsir to Moscow will include a number of high level agreements expected between the two countries, according to government officials.

[ARABNEWS] Saudi Border Guards foiled attempts to smuggle 1,214.77kg of cannabis and 22,010 amphetamine tablets into the Kingdom and tossed in the calaboose Please don't kill me! 15 infiltrators.
According to a Border Guards front man, the forces stationed in Jazan, Najran and Asir apprehended 15 people in over a week. Of those arrested by the Border Guards, 14 were Yemeni nationals and one was an Æthiopian. The front man said that the arrested men had large quantities of cannabis (963.18kg) in their possession.
Giving details of another operation carried out in the Makkah region, he said that the Border Guards foiled a bid to smuggle narcotics into 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... through al-Leith sector.
Marine patrols, he added, intercepted a boat in al-Leith and arrested a Yemeni national and confiscated 251.586kg of cannabis and 22,010 amphetamine tablets.

[EXPRESS.CO.UK] The alarm was raised after a suspected kaboom at 23.27pm local time, 22.27 (GMT).
There are currently no reports of any injuries.
Malmo Police said: "On site, we have found damage to two apartment doors and a lift."
The kaboom is believed to have taken place in the stairwell of the apartment building.
Local police do not know the cause of the kaboom and have called in the national bomb squad for advice.
No suspicious packages or items were seen in the stairwell before the kaboom.
The kaboom comes just weeks after a nightclub was devastated by a detonation in the Swedish town.
The bomb squad responded to the kaboom at the Babel nightclub on November 3.
Police chief officer Magnus Lefèvre said: "There has been some kaboom on the club, but we do not know what has been detonated.
"The bomb group and technicians are on your way to investigating it."
The club was closed at the time and no one was injured.
The kaboom followed a similar event almost exactly one year before.
Article updated as of 8:20 a.m. ET:
Police said they were talking to witnesses and the incident is likely to be deemed an act of “gross public delinquency".
Malmo police confiscate over 200 firearms annually
Malmo Police officer Daniel Jonasson said: “It was a big bang. We can not say exactly what kind of charge, but it's no small banger or something like that.
"We have heard a lot of people, but nobody is arrested or retrieved.”

Since it is Malmo, I assume this was done by a member or members of the refugees for the Ummah who have been arriving since at least the 1990s... and causing trouble nearly as long. The question is whether he/they are gang members, jihadis, or a creative youth practicing their craft.
[Iraq News] Iraqi troops confiscated huge amounts of weapons of 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.... in southwest of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , a security source from Nineveh said on Sunday.
"The weapons are estimated by 40 tons," the source told Alghad Press. "The weapons were found buried under the ground in Ain al-Jahsh region, southwest of Mosul."
Earlier on the day, curfew was imposed in al-Eraij village, south of Mosul,in search for IS members, who launched an armed attack against the village on Saturday night. Moreover, five IS members were killed as the pro-government al-Hashd al-Shaabi [Popular Mobilization Forces] foiled an attack by the Death Eaters through Tal Sufuk crossing on the Iraqi-Syrian borders.
Despite declaring the victory over IS in Mosul, the group’s former bastion in Iraq, observers say IS is believed to constitute a security threat even after the group’s defeat at its main havens across Iraqi provinces.

Lions of Islam have freed a kidnapped citizen in Diyala Province, after his family paid a $50,000 ransom.
"IS Lions of Islam had kidnapped the citizen from his house in Jalawla Town, in Diyala Province, two weeks ago," local sources told al-Ghad Press on Monday.
The sources added that the kidnapped citizen was released after his family sold their farm to pay the ransom.
IS forces of Evil had demanded a $150,000 ransom first, but the kidnapped citizen’s family managed to reduce it to 50,000 U.S. dollars, the sources pointed out.
On Sunday, two kidnapped girls have been freed at al-Obaidy District, east of Baghdad, the Baghdad Operations Command said.
In a statement, the command said two of the kidnappers were locked away You have the right to remain silent... and referred to the bodies concerned for interrogation.
Iraqi officials fear that kidnapping cases are affecting investments in Iraq, where these cases have become a threat to businesses, their employees and investors. This could lead businesses to move or avoid the country.

[IsraelTimes] Suspected terrorist, accomplice were in PA custody since attack outside a supermarket in November 2015, Shin Bet says
Israeli forces last week locked away Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! a Paleostinian man suspected of carrying out a stabbing attack in which an Israeli man was injured two years ago, the Shin Bet security service said Monday.
On November 6, 2015, the 29-year-old Israeli was stabbed outside a grocery store in the Sha’ar Binyamin industrial park in the West Bank, and his attacker expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
The victim, Shmuel Raisman, was stabbed in the back and taken to the hospital at death's door, medics said at the time.
Raisman, who lives in the nearby Tel Zion settlement, said he scared off his attacker with a bottle of pepper spray.
According to the Shin Bet, the terrorist ‐ identified as Bara’a Issa ‐ turned himself in to Paleostinian Authority security services shortly after the attack and was in their custody until his arrest last week.
Though he was detained by PA forces for some two years, Issa never stood trial for the stabbing, the Shin Bet said.
Issa is a member of Fatah, the largest faction in the Paleostine Liberation Organization, which controls the PA, the Shin Bet said.
He was arrested in his hometown of Anata, outside Jerusalem, last Tuesday, after being released by PA forces, the security service said.
The Shin Bet said the PA security services did not alert Israel that Issa was going to be released.
An accomplice, Amro Abu Hlil, who was also initially detained by PA forces, was arrested by the Shin Bet in May and is currently standing trial in a military court.
"The Shin Bet security service, along with its partners in the IDF and Israel Police, will continue to work with determination in order to capture terrorist operatives and assailants who flee from security forces ‐ even if years pass from the time of the attack," the Shin Bet said in a statement.
[Ynet] An IDF soldier was lightly hurt early Monday from gunfire on the northern part of the Israel-Egypt border.
The IDF believes this was errant fire from the fighting across the border between the Egyptian army 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.

The IDF did not return fire. The soldier was taken to the Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva for treatment.
[AnNahar] The Ottoman Turkish army and Kurdish militia exchanged fire Monday in the northern Syrian province of Idlib where Ankara's troops are stationed as observers, the first report of such an incident in the area, state media said.
Kurdish militia fighters fired five mortars at an observation post in Idlib staffed by Ottoman Turkish troops, the Anadolu news agency said. No casualties were reported and the mortars did not hit their target, it added.
In response, the Ottoman Turkish army fired towards Kurdish militia-held positions around the town of Afrin, it added.
Ottoman Turkish troops are deployed in Idlib as part of of an agreement with Iran and Russia to implement four so-called de-escalation zones in flashpoint areas arou
Up until the deployment of Ottoman Turkish troops in mid-October, Idlib had largely been controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group led by al-Qaeda's former Syria affiliate.
The incident comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... prepares to host Ottoman Turkish and Iranian counterparts Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... and Hassan Rouhani for summit talks on Syria in Sochi on Wednesday.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has repeatedly threatened to launch a military operation on Afrin, which is controlled by the Kurdish Peoples' Protection Units (YPG) militia considered by Turkey to be a terror group.
Ankara views the YPG as the Ottoman Turkish branch of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) which has been waging an insurgency inside Turkey since 1984.
The PKK is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... .
Ottoman Turkish troops have repeatedly clashed with the YPG in Aleppo province, especially during Ankara's incursion last year, but this is the first time such an incident has been reported in Idlib.
Russia, along with Iran, is the key supporter of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Supressor of the Damascenes... while Turkey has backed the rebels seeking Assad's ouster.
But Russia and Turkey have been working together since a 2016 reconciliation deal ended a crisis caused by the shooting down of a Russian war plane over Syria.
Analysts say that Erdogan will be keen to discourage Putin from backing the YPG in Syria at the Sochi talks, as Ankara seeks a say in post-war Syria after over six years of conflict.
