[AnNahar] Suspected jihadist fighters attacked an armored van transporting money from a gold mine in Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other...
Update: Mr. Compaore fled the country when he was overthrown in 2014, which was followed by a revolt against the interim government in September of this year. If historic patterns run true, they're due for a military or Marxist government next.
the country's security minister said Sunday, the latest sign of Islamist violence spreading from neighboring Mali.
A group of heavily gunnies with rocket launchers and automatic rifles attacked the truck in the country's north on Friday, killing the driver and wounding one other person, security minister Alain Zagre told AFP.
Police accompanying the van fought off the attackers, who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, a police source said.
"We think it is certainly a jihadist group that identified the Inata gold mine and decided to take action to get hold of funds," Zagre said.
Military operations had seriously disrupted Islamist fighters in Mali, forcing them to move to neighboring countries, Zagre said as his country went to the polls on Sunday to elect a new president and parliament.
Security was tight for the election, with up to 25,000 troops deployed to ward off the threat of an attack, following two recent assaults against police barracks on the country's long western border with troubled Mali.

The brother of the Houthi leader was killed in an attack in North Yemen while a rebel field commander was killed in a national resistance raid in another area.
The Saudi state TV 'Al Ikhbariya' said Ibrahim Badruddin Al Houthi, the brother of the Houthi top leader Abdul Malik Al Houthi, was killed along with eight aides in the Northern Yemeni town of Saada, the rebel chief’s birthplace.
“Ibrahim Badruddin and eight other Houthis who were with him were killed in an attack in Saada on Sunday,” the channel said without giving details of the attack.
The Saudi satellite TV news channel Al Arabiya also reported Al Houthi’s death but did not give any details.
In another development a Houthi field commander and four aides were killed in a resistance attack in the South-central town of Al Bayda on Sunday.
Abu Yaslam and his guards were passing in a motorcade in Al Qamlain area in Al Badya when they came under an attack by the resistance fighters, the Yemeni news network ‘Masdar Online’ said.
ADEN: Warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition hit Saturday two small boats carrying weapons to Iran-backed Houthi terrorists on the southern coast of Yemen, a military official said.
Weapons were being unloaded from the two fishing boats near Belhaf, in Shabwa province, when the pre-dawn raid struck killing three smugglers, the military official said.
The coalition has imposed a blockade on Yemen to prevent weapons from reaching the Houthis and allied renegade troops loyal to ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Troops loyal to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, backed by coalition air and ground support, in July pushed the rebels out of Aden — Yemen’s second city — and four other southern provinces, including Shabwa. But the area around Belhaf is controlled by tribesmen and some are involved in smuggling weapons to the terrorists further north, the official said.
Government forces backed by the coalition launched an all-out offensive recently to push the rebels out of the southwestern province of Taez and break the siege of loyalists in its provincial capital.
The UN aid chief earlier accused Houthis of blocking and diverting deliveries of aid to Taez where some 200,000 people are living under siege.
Government forces backed by the Saudi-led coalition have been battling since September to push the terrorists out of Taez as part of their campaign to recapture the capital Sanaa farther north.
“Houthi and popular committees are blocking supply routes and continue to obstruct the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian aid and supplies into Taez city,” said Stephen O’Brien, the under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs.
Yemeni pro-government forces were battling on Sunday to oust Iran-backed Houthi rebels from a southern province where they have made gains in recent weeks. Ground fighting and air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition killed 12 rebels in Daleh province, military sources said. Four loyalists were also killed.
Daleh is one of five southern provinces which the coalition-backed loyalists retook from the rebels in a July offensive. But the Houthi rebels and their allies managed to recapture the province's second-largest city, Damt, earlier this month.
Further north, in Yemen's third city Taez, where a loyalist garrison has been under rebel siege for months, three civilians were killed and at least 20 wounded by rebel mortar fire late on Saturday, medical and military sources said. Loyalist troops and their coalition backers launched an offensive to try to break the siege earlier this month but it has made little headway.
In the rebel-held capital Sanaa, coalition aircraft carried out what a military source described as the heaviest strikes in weeks. The rebels overran Sanaa in September last year before capturing much of the rest of the country and forcing the government into exile.

[AlAhram] Hundreds of refugees fought each other on Sunday in a mass brawl at a Berlin shelter and more than 100 police were called in to restore order, in an episode underlining the challenges Germany faces in handling hundreds of thousands of migrants. Although violent incidents in such centres are frequent,
Frequent? No wonder the natives are upset.
the chaos in the shelter at Berlin's disused Tempelhof airport, which erupted as lunch was being served, was worse than normal.
"There were apparently many hundreds of people involved," a front man for the police told Rooters TV. Police made an unspecified number of arrests.
Michael Elias, who is in charge of the shelter, said that 830 people were housed at the facility and that between 20 and 30 started the disruption.
"It's the simple fact that there are a lot of young men travelling alone here. We withdrew ... because the situation simply went kaboom!. It was a complete blow-out."
Such scenes feed scepticism among the German public about accepting refugees. Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom... 's popularity has slumped, a sign of the public's cooling attitude towards the influx of people fleeing conflict in countries like Syria.
Earlier this year, Germany's police union and women's rights groups accused the authorities of playing down reports of sexual assault and even rape at refugee shelters because they feared a backlash against asylum seekers.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere has called on Germans to avoid succumbing to blanket suspicion of migrants, of whom up to a million are expected to arrive this year.
Several people were placed in durance vile Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! at the fight that started in the food distribution queues at the former airport of Tempelhof, which has been turned into a temporary accommodation for 1,200 refugees, an AFP photographer witnessed.
The brawl came just hours after another mass fight at a refugee shelter in the Berlin suburb of Spandau, where migrants went at each other with fire extinguishers, a police front man said. Windows were smashed, sofas were thrown, and fire extinguishers emptied, said police, adding that several residents of the shelter were maimed. Some 500 people evacuated the building "in fear and panic" over the dispute.
Separately, two other fights broke out in other shelters. At a refugee home in Berlin's Kreuzberg area, a 18-year-old struck a 17-year-old on the head with a belt, police said. Meanwhile, ...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Big Shirley was still trying to snatch Nunzio bald-headed. She was already halfway there... five people were maimed in a fight between Syrians in the showers of an accommodation in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt.
Such disturbances have occurred before in other shelters in Germany, with tensions escalating quickly between often traumatized people from different cultures sharing packed spaces.
At the same time, they have been relatively rare
How "relatively rare" could it be, if such incidents are "frequent", as Al Ahram reports?
given the sheer numbers of new arrivals -- Germany expects to take in a million asylum seekers this year alone, and has put up hundreds of thousands in flats, army barracks, sports halls and tent cities.
Germany's police union had called for refugees to be separated by religion and by country of origin to minimize the potential for conflict.

[The Guardian] On a damp afternoon in Iraqi Kurdistan, a 29-year-old peshmerga fighter named Peshawa pulls out his Samsung Galaxy mobile phone, flicks hurriedly through his library until he finds the video he wants, and presses play.
The clip, filmed just after dawn on 11 September, shows four tall and western-looking men in the heat of a battle against Islamic State militants in northern Iraq. "These are the Americans," says Peshawa in a secretive tone.
One is crouched behind a machine gun firing round after round from the top of a fortified mound; another lies on his front a few feet away, legs outstretched and taking aim at the enemy with a long rifle. A third wields a long-lens camera taking photo after photo, and the last stands back, apparently overseeing the others during the combat south-west of the city of Kirkuk.

[IsraelTimes] Border Police officers shot and killed a Paleostinian teenager during a riot in East Jerusalem on Sunday. Police said they fired at a youth who was preparing to throw a Molotov cocktail.
A Paleostinian health ministry official told AFP he confirmed the death, without giving further details.
An Israel Police statement said that officers fired at a Paleostinian holding a Molotov cocktail in the Ras al-Amoud neighborhood after they came under attack, but could not confirm a hit.
"The forces, who were in real life-threatening danger, fired at the lower body of the suspect seen with a Molotov cocktail," a police statement said, noting that other rioters with Molotov cocktails had escaped.
The Paleostinian Ma'an news agency identified the Paleostinian as Ayman Samih al-Abbasi, 16, from Silwan.
On Sunday afternoon, dozens of Paleostinians were maimed in violent festivities with Israeli security troops in a series of riots in the West Bank, according to Paleostinian reports.
Those festivities come hours after a stabbing attack at an entrance to Jerusalem's Old City and another near a bus stop left two people maimed and an attacker killed.
Early on Sunday, a 38-year-old Paleostinian stabbed an Israeli Border Police officer at Damascus Gate, lightly wounding him. The attacker, who was identified as Bassem Salah from the northern West Bank city of Nablus, was rubbed out by officers at the scene.
Later in the morning, a Nepalese woman was lightly maimed in a stabbing attack near a bus stop in Jerusalem, after which the attacker fled. A 17-year-old Paleostinian suspect from Hebron was locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! at a construction site near the scene shortly after.
[IsraelTimes] Soldiers raid offices of Radio Dream, confiscate equipment and order it remain shuttered for six months, Paleostinians say.
Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Saturday night descended on the offices of a popular radio station in the West Bank city of Hebron, confiscated equipment, and shut it down due to accusations that it has been inciting violence, Paleostinian reports said.
It was the third radio station to be raided in recent weeks amid persistent Israeli claims that a recent wave of Paleostinian attacks has been spurred by incitement in social and traditional media.
Many of the attacks have taken place in and around Hebron, while others -- including deadly attacks in Israel -- have been carried out by forces of Evil who set out from the area.
[Breitbart] TEL AVIV -- News reports in the Arab world claim Russia is planning to escalate its military involvement in Syria by sending in ground troops and increasing airstrikes, according to translations provided by the Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI).
Syrian and pro-Syrian Lebanese media have published reports over the past two weeks claiming that Russia is launching a new stage of its offensive in Syria, with December witnessing unprecedented escalation in which a ground operation will be launched. "December will be hot on the ground in Syria," Lebanese daily Al Akhbar reported.
In a talk with the Russia's Ministry of Defense on November 20, President Vladimir Putin said that the current offensive in Syria is "not enough to clear Syria of armed and terrorist groups and defend Russia from a possible terrorist attack," adding his hope that the next stages of the offensive will lead to better results.
According to MEMRI, Russia's decision to increase its involvement in Syria is likely motivated by the upcoming UN supervised meeting on January 1, 2016, in which Syrian regime and opposition representatives are set to negotiate. Russia and its allies Syria and Iran are hoping that the next stage of the offensive will earn them "bargaining chips" ahead of the meeting.
[ARA News] ALEPPO – Rebel fighters of the Syrian opposition blew up Sunday several headquarters for the regime’s army forces in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria, killing and wounding dozens of troops, media activists reported.
The explosions was followed by fierce clashes between the two sides.
Speaking to ARA News in Aleppo, media activist Wael Mohammed confirmed that Aleppo rebels (Operation Chamber of Fatih Halab) in conjunction with other Islamic factions, fought fierce battles against the Syrian army forces and allied militias for several hours subsequent to detonating a series of regime-held buildings in Seif al-Dawla district in Aleppo.
“Opposition fighters had already dug a tunnel under these buildings, or headquarters ran by pro-Assad forces, and then detonated them with remote control, killing and wounding dozens regime troops,” he added.
The source pointed out that fighting continued in the neighborhoods of Salah al-Din, Seif al-Dawla and al-Ashrafiya for several hours, during which a number of casualties fell from both sides.
In the meantime, pro-regime army forces targeted the neighborhood of Bani Zaid in Aleppo with more than 15 artillery shells, local sources said. Several civilian casualties were reported in the shelling.
In return, Syrian rebels bombed the regime-held neighborhoods of al-Meidan, Suleiman al-Halabi and the Jamiyat al-Zahra with several homemade rockets, causing the deaths of two civilians and the injury of six others, some of them are in critical conditions.
Opposition fighters in the city of Aleppo are trying to ignite several fighting fronts simultaneously in a bid to disperse the strength of the regime’s army and allied Shiite militias. By this, they are trying to relief rebel fighters in the southern fronts of Aleppo.
Miss Sally can just blow me... [ARA News] DAMASCUS – Sally Jones, who left the UK to join the extremist group of Islamic State (ISIS), has threatened to blow herself up after her husband was killed in a drone strike by the U.S.-led coalition in Syria’s Raqqa.
Jones, 47, is a former punk rocker, originally from Kent. She has converted to Islam and has been radicalized recently through direct contact with jihadist groups online.
Quoting a Muslim extremist woman who killed herself along with scores of Russian soldiers in a truck bombing in 2000, Jones has expressed herself on the social media that she could be about to become a “black widow” suicide bomber.
The term “Black Widows” refers to a group of Chechen Muslim women whose husbands were killed by the Russian forces in Chechnya.
She moved to Syria with her 10-year-old son in 2013 and joined ISIS after being brainwashed.
“I know what I’m doing. Paradise has a price and I hope this will be the price for Paradise,” Jones tweeted. If she carried out her threat, she would be ISIS’s first widely known female suicide bomber.
Her husband Junaid Hussain, 21, was a cyber-hacker and a key propagandist and recruiter for the ISIS terror group. He was killed in an airstrike in Raqqa, the major bastion of ISIS in Syria.
Jones has been following her husband’s path, recruiting young men and women to join ISIS’s ranks.
“I would never love anyone but him,” the extremist widow said on Tweeter, referring to her dead husband, though the group’s leadership prevents widows from staying a long time without husbands, according to ISIS-linked sources.
Jones’s message came after her husband found killed in an airstrike by a U.S.-led drone on Raqqa last August.

Airstrikes believed to have been carried out by Russian warplanes killed at least 18 people and wounded dozens more on Sunday in a northern Syrian town held by insurgents, Syrian opposition media reported.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrikes struck the town of Ariha, killing at least 18 people and wounding dozens more. The Local Coordination Committees, an activist collective, said the airstrikes struck a busy market, inflicting heavy casualties. The Observatory, which relies on a network of activists inside Syria, said the airstrike destroyed three buildings in the centre of Ariha.
Ariha Today, a Facebook page that covers events in the town, said the airstrikes were carried out by Russian warplanes, killing 40 people and wounding more than 70. Conflicting tolls are common in the chaotic aftermath of violent incidents in Syria.
If Russian warplanes carried out Sunday's strikes it would be one of the deadliest incidents since Moscow began launching airstrikes in Syria two months ago. Opposition activists say scores of people have been killed by Russian strikes since the air campaign began on September 30.
An amateur video posted online showed several men being treated on the floor of what appeared to be a clinic. Blood stains could be seen on the floor's white tiles. On the street outside, four men could be seen lying near the building, with several young men weeping over them. Shortly afterward, an ambulance arrived and a wounded man in a wheelchair was carried into the clinic.
Russia says its airstrikes are targeting the Daesh group and other "terrorists," but Western officials and Syrian rebels say most of the strikes have focused on central and northern Syria, where Daesh does not have a strong presence.
The strikes hit the Idlib province town of Ariha, which is controlled by the Army of Conquest, a rebel alliance of mainly Islamist groups, including al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-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, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Army of Conquest alliance seized Ariha in May after heavy fighting with regime forces.

Seven of the strikes in Iraq hit around Ramadi, destroying a machine gun position, two ISIL buildings and two weapons caches, and wounding an ISIL fighter, the Combined Joint Task Force said on Sunday. The coalition also struck targets in 11 other Iraqi cities, including Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids... Sinjar and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... The coalition said it used bomber, fighter, attack and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL targets.
In Syria, two strikes near Raqqa destroyed two ISIL vehicles and struck two separate ISIL tactical units, it said. One strike near Dayr Az Zawr destroyed an ISIL front end loader.
