Afghanistan
Election center attacked in Afghanistan, five people abducted
[PRESSTV] Five people have been kidnapped when gunnies attacked a voter registration center in Afghanistan, and set fire to documents.

Officials said Wednesday that the assault was carried out in the central province of Ghor on Tuesday.

Provincial police front man Mohammad Iqbal Nizami said the button men stormed the center in Aliyar district as Independent Election Commission (IEC) staff were registering voters.

The official blamed the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
bully boy group for the attack, noting that the gunnies kidnapped three IEC staff and two coppers tasked with protecting the center. "They also set all the voter registration materials on fire," Nizami said. "We are investigating and have launched a search operation."

Ghor governor front man Abdul Hai Khatibi acknowledged the incident, saying that tribal leaders and elders were in talks with the local Taliban to free the abductees.

Last weekend, Afghanistan began registering voters for the long-delayed legislative elections that are scheduled for October.

According to Abdul Badie Sayad, chairman of the IEC, authorities will register as many as 14 million adults at more than 7,000 registration centers across the war-torn country over the next two months. The official said that "insecurity, particularly in rural areas," will be "the main challenge."

The October 20 polls were originally set to be held in 2015 following presidential elections the previous year, but were repeatedly postponed due to security fears and logistical problems.

Libya: Haftar’s Chief of Staff Escapes Assassination Attempt
[AAWSAT] The Libyan National Army announced on Wednesday that the chief of staff of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all...
survived a boom-mobileing in the eastern city of Benghazi.

General Abdelrazak al-Nadhuri "escaped unharmed from a terrorist liquidation attempt after a boom-mobile went kaboom!... as his convoy passed," the LNA said in a statement.

One civilian was killed and at least two others maimed in the attack.

The kaboom took place in the Sidi Khalifa district at the eastern entrance to Benghazi, the LNA statement said.

Nadhuri was traveling from Benghazi to his base in al-Marj, a small eastern town, when his convoy was hit some 20 km (12 miles) outside Benghazi.

His front man Malek al-Sharif told AFP that the chief of staff, his bodyguards and those travelling with him were unharmed.

"This cowardly terrorist act comes after the defeat of these terrorist groups in Benghazi," Nadhuri told the al-Hadath news outlet.

He accused "terrorist cells" of being behind the attempted liquidation.

No group has immediately grabbed credit.

A security official in Benghazi, Majdi al-Orfi, told AFP that the two victims, a Syrian and a Sudanese national, were caught in the kaboom. The Syrian died.

Last summer, Haftar announced the "total liberation" of Benghazi, after a three-year campaign to seize the city from Lions of Islam who had made it a stronghold following the revolution.

Haftar supports a parliament based in the east of the country, while a UN-backed unity government in the capital Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
has struggled to assert its authority nationwide.

Arabia
Bahrain court sentences 32 anti-regime activists to jail
[PRESSTV] A court in Bahrain has sentenced 32 anti-regime activists to jail over their alleged role in an attack on a cop shoppe in the capital more than a year ago.

The Fourth High Criminal Court handed down seven-year prison terms to 25 of the defendants, the Arabic-language Bahrain Mirror news website reported Wednesday.

The seven other defendants received jail sentences of three years.

According to the report, they were sentenced over their alleged role in an attack on Naim cop shoppe in the capital, Manama, back in December 2016.

Thousands of anti-regime protesters have held demonstrations in Bahrain on an almost daily basis ever since a popular uprising began in the country in mid-February 2011.

They are demanding that the Al Khalifah regime relinquish power and allow a just system representing all Bahrainis to be established.

Manama has gone to great lengths to clamp down on any sign of dissent. On March 14, 2011, troops from Soddy Arabia

According to a Yemeni military source, the missile successfully hit its target.

Earlier in the day, Yemeni forces targeted a Saudi mercenary camp in Najran with rocket and artillery fire, killing and wounding a large number of its occupants.

Europe
Video of alleged anti-Semitic attack in Berlin sparks outrage
More on the Daily Mail article posted by Skidmark as a comment in this thread yesterday.
When they have video of the attack, there is nothing merely alleged about it. The Deutsche Welle interview and news report as well as the video that brave young [non-Jewish] Arab-Israeli shot during the attack with his cell phone can be seen at the link.
[DW] Religious and politicians condemned the attack on two men wearing kippas in an affluent Berlin neighborhood. One of the victims says he wore the Jewish head covering as a kind of experiment.

The video depicts one of three suspects hurling verbal abuse and striking one of the victims with his belt. The man also yells the word "Jew" in Arabic.
It sounded to me like, “Yahudi arschloch,” (“Kike asshole”), but I could be mistaken.
One of the victims ‐ Adam from Israel ‐ told DW that he and his lover companion had tried to no avail to ignore the attackers.
The Times of Israel adds:
In a video interview with the Bild newspaper, Adam Armush, 21, said the main attacker seemed to have a “Syrian dialect.”

Iraq sentences French female jihadist to life in jail

group, the latest in a series of court rulings since the country's defeat of ISIS.

Djamila Boutoutaou, a 29-year-old of Algerian origin, told a Baghdad court that she had left La Belle France with her husband, a rapper.

She said she thought they were going on holiday but "when I arrived in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
I discovered that my husband was a jihadist".

She said she was forced by her husband to join ISIS and live in the "caliphate" that the jihadists proclaimed in 2014 straddling Syria and Iraq.

Her husband was killed near the former jihadist stronghold of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, northern Iraq, and her son died in bombardment, Boutoutaou said.

Two Russian women, both holding children in their arms, were also sentenced to life in prison at the same hearing.

Iraq declared victory in December against ISIS, which at one point controlled a third of the country.

The Iraqi anti-terrorism law empowers courts to convict people who are believed to have helped ISIS even if they are not accused of violence.

In January, an Iraqi court condemned a German woman to death after finding her guilty of belonging to ISIS.

A court the following month sentenced another French woman to seven months in jail for entering Iraq illegally but ordered her release on time already served.

Several dozen Ottoman Turkish women have been sentenced to death under Iraqi anti-terrorism laws.

Over 300 given death penalty in Iraq for Daesh links. HRW has the vapors
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Iraqi courts have sentenced to death a total of more than 300 people, including dozens of foreigners, for belonging to ISIS (ISIS), judicial sources said Wednesday.

The suspects are being tried by two courts, one near the former murderous Moslem stronghold of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
in northern Iraq and another in Baghdad which is dealing notably with foreigners and women.

Since January in the capital, 97 foreign nationals have been condemned to death and 185 to life in prison, according to a judicial source.

Most of the women sentenced were from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
and republics of the former Soviet Union.

In January, an Iraqi court condemned a German woman to death after finding her guilty of belonging to ISIS while on Tuesday a French woman was sentenced to life in prison.

At the court In Tel Keif near Mosul, 212 people have been sentenced to death, 150 to life in prison and 341 to other jails terms, Supreme Judicial Council front man Abdel Sattar Bayraqdar said in a statement.

"It has been proven that they carried out criminal actions at public hearings conducted in accordance with the law during which the convicts' rights were guaranteed," he said.

Iraq declared victory in December against ISIS, which at one point controlled a third of the country.

On Monday the justice ministry said 11 people convicted of terrorism-related charges had been executed in Iraq, which according to New York-based Human Rights Watch is the world's number four executioner.

"These executions follow rushed trials of ISIS suspects which are riddled with due process violations, including convictions based solely on confessions which are sometimes extracted by torture," said HRW senior Iraq researcher Belkis Wille.

"Iraq's mishandling of the ISIS trials not only denies victims real justice, but also risks sending innocent Iraqis to their deaths."
Iraqi News adds:
The Higher Judicial Council has revealed issuing over 800 verdicts from Nineveh Criminal Court.

In a statement on Wednesday, Abdul Satar Bayraqdar, spokesperson for the High Judicial Council, said “The estimates issued by the criminal courts showed that verdicts were issued against 815 convicts.”

The higher rate of the verdicts, according to Bayraqdar “were against Islamic State militants.”

Earlier this week, the Iraqi Justice Ministry has announced carrying out death sentences against 13 convicts, most of whom are involved in terrorism.

...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....
terrorist group, attempting to recruit others, and declaring his willingness to carry out a suicide kaboom or drive-by shooting attack on Israeli soldiers near the defense headquarters in Tel Aviv.

Charges were filed against Kamel Abu Amarah, 19, from Jaffa, for contacting an enemy agent as well as membership in a terror group and activities on its behalf, the Justice Ministry said in a statement.

The documents submitted to Tel Aviv District Court claimed Amarah voluntarily joined the organization by sending IS operatives a video of himself pledging allegiance to its leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart...
He is also accused of actively working on behalf of the terrorist group as well as trying to recruit more members, including a member of his family and a friend. In addition, prosecutors said, he tried to buy a pistol through an acquaintance he believed had criminal contacts.

According to the indictment, Amarah first became interested in Islamic State in 2016 and began making contact with IS sympathizers on the internet via Facebook groups and Instagram as well as the chat programs DISCORD and STEAM. He searched online for IS-related material, including video clips that urged terror attacks and jihad, stabbings, decapitations, the production of explosives and the use of weapons.

He made contact with users claiming to be from Romania, the Philippines, and Morocco, the court documents said.

Court papers showed that Amarah told some of his online contacts he had been questioned in the past by the Shin Bet security service.

In March 2018, he publicly stated on IS internet groups that he knew how to make explosives and declared his readiness to carry out a suicide kaboom or drive-by shooting on soldiers near the Kirya Base in Tel Aviv, the IDF national headquarters.

Prosecutors asked that Amarah be held under arrest until the end of legal proceedings, telling the court that his "actions, which speak for themselves, clearly present grounds for his arrest due to a danger to the security of the country and public safety."

"The danger posed by the defendant is heightened by the fact that he acted, based on his confession, both out of ideological identification with the values ​​and goals of the terrorist organization and out of a sense of hostility toward Jewish citizens of Israel."

Last month, an Arab Israeli was sentenced to 28 months in prison for trying to join Islamic State.

Comparatively few Arab Israelis have joined the terrorist group, yet the Shin Bet has said it views the possibility of Israeli citizens joining IS as a "serious security threat." A few dozen Israeli Arabs from northern Israel have been tossed in the clink
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
for alleged links with IS in recent years. Roughly 20 are now believed to be among its ranks in Syria and Iraq.

Kite from Gaza sets fire to wheat field in Israel
[IsraelTimes] For fifth time in as many days, Paleostinians send airborne Molotov cocktails across border

A fire broke out in an Israeli wheat field outside the Gazoo Strip Wednesday, caused by a kite bearing a container of flaming liquid, for the fifth time in as many days, according to the local fire department.

The kite touched down in a field near Kibbutz Be’eri, an Israeli community located some seven kilometers (4.3 miles) east of Gazoo’s Bureij refugee camp.

Six teams of firefighters had contained the blaze and were working extinguish it, the fire department spokesperson said.

For the past six days, Paleostinians in Gazoo have made attempts to fly kites carrying burning cans of fuel into Israeli territory. The first attempt on Friday failed and the kite landed inside Gazoo, but the rest have sparked fires in southern Israel.

As this month also marks the beginning of Israel’s dry season, an IDF spokesperson on Friday said the military was prepared for the possibility that fires might break out and had therefore coordinated with local fire departments and put firefighting planes on standby.

Last month, the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) organized a "Kites of Hope" festival for over 1,000 Gazook schoolchildren from Khan Younis.

Explosive device found aboard Palestinian truck
[Ynet] Powerful explosive found by security inspectors hidden in roof of truck carrying goods for Seam Zone settlements; Paleostinian driver nabbed
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
; device purportedly to be used for Independence Day terror attack.

A powerful bomb was discovered Wednesday aboard a Paleostinian truck attempting to pass through the northern West Bank's Reihan crossing.

The Defense Ministry said security inspectors from the Land Crossings Authority located the device secreted in the roof of the truck, which was also carrying goods intended for Israeli settlements on the Seam Zone.

The device was comprised of several improvised pipe bombs, and did not appear to have been put together by any organized terror group.

The truck driver was interrogated by Shin Bet Wednesday evening and his motives were being examined. His relatives are also expected to be questioned overnight.

Paleostinian truck drivers know they will be subject to searches when passing through the main crossings from the Paleostinian Authority to Israel, as was the case with Wednesday's incident.

Police sappers have been rushed to the scene to deal with the device.

Large parts of the West Bank are under closure until Thursday at midnight as Israel marks Memorial Day and celebrates its 70th Independence Day.

Israeli forces shell southern Gaza, injuring 5 Palestinians
[MAANNEWS] Five Paleostinians were maimed after Israeli forces shelled areas in the eastern Khan Younis district in the southern Gazoo Strip on Wednesday around dawn.

The Gazoo Ministry of Health said in a statement that several shells were fired towards a site belonging to the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
movement.

The ministry added that shots were fired from the site towards the border with Israel.

Three Paleostinians were maimed with live ammunition while two others were maimed by the shelling, the ministry said.

The statement added that Israeli forces shot up an ambulance attempting to transfer the injured to the hospital.

Several Israeli military vehicles raided the area following the shelling, leveling lands along the border as Israeli drones flew over head.

An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that "overnight IDF troops identified five suspects, at least one of which was armed, approaching the security fence in the southern Gazoo strip and in response, troops fired towards the suspects."

The spokesperson did not comment on the allegations that Israeli forces opened fire on ambulances evacuating the injured.
The Times of Israel adds:
The Gazoo health ministry said the Paleostinian men were on a base belonging to the military wing of Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, when they were struck.

The Hebrew-language Walla news website cited an unnamed army source as saying security forces had thwarted an attempt by the group to plant an bomb along the border fence.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Kurdish commander claims German jihadist tied to 9/11 attacks caught in Syria
[IsraelTimes] Pentagon looking into reports that al-Qaeda recruiter Mohammed Haydar Zammar was detained by separatist forces

A Syrian-born German national accused of helping to plan the September 11, 2001 attacks has been detained by Kurdish forces in Syria, a senior Kurdish commander told AFP Wednesday.

"Mohammed Haydar Zammar
...the arrogant, 6’ tall, 300 lb. founding member of Al Qaeda’s Hamburg cell, who recruited chief 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta among others...
has been placed in durance vile
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
by Kurdish security forces in northern Syria and is now being interrogated," the top official said, without providing further details.

Zammar, who is in his mid-fifties, has been accused of recruiting some of the September 11 hijackers to al-Qaeda.

He was detained in Morocco in December 2001 in an operation involving CIA agents, and was handed over to the Syrian authorities two weeks later.

A Syrian court sentenced Zammar to 12 years in prison in 2007 for belonging to the Moslem Brüderbund, a charge that at the time could have resulted in the death penalty.

But conflict broke out in Syria four years later, and many hardline Islamist prisoners were released from jail or broke free and went on to join jihadist groups fighting in the war.

The Syrian Democratic Forces, a coalition of Arab and Kurdish fighters, has caught several foreign members of IS in Syria in recent months, particularly since the SDF captured the northern city of Raqa from the jihadists.

The Kurdish commander who spoke to AFP on Wednesday declined to say whether Zammar had been actively fighting as a member of an bad boy group in Syria.

The Pentagon said it had nothing to confirm on Zammar’s capture but was looking into it.

#2  A bit more on alleged Rendition detainee Mohammed Haydar Zammer. Quite an interesting fellow.

Wiki Excerpt:

Release
Zammar was released as part of a prisoner exchange between the Islamist Syrian rebel group Ahrar al-Sham and the Syrian Government in September 2013.[7] A member of the negotiating team told Der Spiegel that days after being released, Zammar travelled to the Syrian city of Raqqa and joined the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). He reportedly organised for funds to be sent to the Sinai-based militant group Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, and negotiated for the group to swear allegiance to ISIL.[8]

Recapture
Zammar was allegedly recaptured by members of the Kurdish People's Protection Units around the 18th of April, 2018. Reports claim that he is currently being held in a prison in the North of Syria, and his current fate remains unclear.[9]

UN security team came under fire in Syria's Douma: UN official
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] A UN security team was fired at on Tuesday while on a reconnaissance mission in the Syrian town of Douma to prepare the deployment of experts investigating an alleged chemical attack, officials said.

"Shots were fired yesterday at a UN security team doing a reconnaissance in Douma," a UN official told AFP. "They were not injured and returned to Damascus."

The experts from the OPCW chemical watchdog were awaiting the green light from the security team before beginning their on-site investigation in Douma of the alleged attack.

The suspected April 7 gas attack on Douma, near Damascus, reportedly left more than 40 people dead and was blamed by Western powers on Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Despoiler of Deraa...
's forces.

British Ambassador Peter Wilson told news hounds in The Hague that the security team on Tuesday traveled to two sites in Douma, escorted by Russian security police.

The officials were greeted by a "large crowd" of protesters at one site, forcing them to withdraw while at the second site "they were subject to small-arms fire and an kaboom," Wilson said, citing information from the OPCW director general.

Ahmet Uzumcu, the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, told ambassadors in The Hague that it was unclear when the fact-finding mission will be able to deploy to Douma, Wilson added.

The UN official, who declined to be named, said the security team would remain in Damascus with the OPCW experts for the time being.

Syrian Army’s Tiger Forces storm eastern Qalamoun region
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army’s elite Tiger Forces are leading the charge to capture the strategic eastern Qalamoun region, following a short deployment to southern Damascus, a military source told al-Masdar News this afternoon.

According to the source, the Tiger Forces launched the surprise attack on Jaish Thuwar al-Sham’s positions around the Batra Mountain last night.

Following their attack on the Batra Mountain, the Tiger Forces stormed the eastern axis of the Ruhabah area, where they were able to enter the town of Kharnubah and nearby quarries.

Intense festivities are now ongoing at these sites in the eastern Qalamoun region, with the Syrian Army steadily advancing through the rebel defenses.

The Syrian Army is attempting to split the rebel pocket in the eastern Qalamoun, which is similar to their battle plans in the East Ghouta, al-Zabadani, and Darayya.

The group claimed responsibility for carrying out the July 2012 Damascus bombing that killed Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, Deputy Defense Minister Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani. It was a driving force behind actions in the Damascus region. It cooperated and conducted joint operations with al-Nusra. In Sptember 2013 Saudi Arabia engineered Liwa al-Islam's merger with fifty other more or less Salafist groups as a counterweight to al-Nusra, which the Learned Elders of Islam considered was growing too powereful...
