Afghanistan
Taliban Kill 15 Policemen in West Afghanistan Ambush
[An Nahar] Taliban gunnies killed 15 police on the main highway in western Afghanistan, officials said Thursday, in the latest attack to highlight an escalation in rebel strikes as NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
-led troops withdraw.

"Highway One" is a 2,200 kilometer (1,400 mile) circular road connecting the key cities of Kabul, Kandahar, Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
and Mazar-e-Sharif, but it has been a constant target for krazed killer attacks, kidnappings and looting.

"A convoy of police who went to inspect a highway patrol unit were caught in a Taliban ambush on Wednesday," Farah province front man Abdul Rahman Zhuwandi told Agence La Belle France Presse.

"There was fighting between them in which 15 national police were killed and 10 maimed, while several Taliban were also killed."

The attack occurred shortly before dusk on Wednesday in Bakwa district of Farah province, which borders Iran.

The ambush raised the corpse count in Taliban attacks on Wednesday to more than 30, including an American soldier, four coppers and three civilians who died when gunnies tried to storm a joint NATO-Afghan military base in the east.

Africa Horn
Intelligence official killed in ambush in Mogadishu
MOGADISHU -- Somali National Intelligence and National Security official was killed in an ambush on Wednesday evening in Mogadishu, Garowe Online reports. Khalif Mohamud Ali, who had been serving as the Intelligence head of Mogadishu’s Kahda district died in a shootout between his security guards and terrorists men armed with AK-47 rifles near his home in Kahda, according to witnesses.

The terrorists militiamen beat feet escaped from the scene of crime after shootings, local sources added.

The commissioner of Mogadishu’s Kahda district Abdiweli Yusuf Omar who spoke to the media in Mogadishu confirmed the official’s death.

“Unidentified terrorists militiamen ambushed late Ali but his security guards responded with gunfire. One of his body guards sustains injuries and security forces are carrying out investigations to find the perpetrators of this crime,” said Omar.

The incident is the second to take place in Mogadishu within six days; two masked terrorists gunmen shot dead Amin Ali Mumin, the Chairman of Dharkeynley Olympic board in front of his home last Friday.

Africa North
New tribal clashes hit western Libya
[MAGHAREBIA] Libyan troops moved to put an end to renewed tribal festivities between Zawia and Warshefana on Monday (August 26th).

Libya's Shield forces took up positions between the warring parties after a meeting between congressmen, ministers and military leaders that was chaired by Nouri Abu Sahmein, president of the General National Congress (GNC).

Thirty-one people in the Warshefana area were jugged
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
at the time. They were charged with theft and banditry along the coastal road.

The latest fighting originally broke out last Thursday between the areas of Abu Isa in Zawia and Maamoura in the region of the Warshefana tribe. The skirmishes killed five and maimed twenty-five.

"We couldn't sleep. There were Grad rockets
...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km....
," said Leila Zawi, a mother of two children who lives in the region. "The children were crying and electricity was cut off. Everyone is waiting for the army's intervention, which is long overdue."

The chairman of the Zawia local council, Mohamed Khadrawi, said on Sunday that "order was restored and the cease-fire is in effect." He added that if there was a breach, Libya's Shield forces would deal with it.

Khadrawi explained that order was restored after mediation efforts by elders from the cities of Misrata, Zintan and other western regions. He said the festivities were due to theft, banditry and looting, particularly on the coastal road.

"Things are quiet now and the road between the two regions is open," said Mohamed Sayeh, a member of a civil society institution in Warshefana. He pointed out that by handing over the wanted criminals, security would be restored and people would relax.

Prime Minister Ali Zidan said late Saturday that forces from the chief of staff and the defence ministry were sent to the location of the fighting. He called on both groups to stop shooting in order for the troops to position themselves between the two sides.

"It is very unfortunate that the use of weapons has become an easy matter. Shooting in order to kill other citizens, no matter what causes and reasons are advanced by the warring parties, is distasteful; it should not happen," Zidan said.

Zidan added, "No doubt, this is due to the proliferation of weapons among citizens. These arms should be held by the legitimate authorities that are the army and police. Instead they are now in the hands of citizens and not governed by any discipline or army law. Hence, unless we succeed in collecting these arms and returning them to the storehouses of the army, we will have many challenges."

The Warshefana tribes issued a statement welcoming the entry of Libyan forces to separate the two warring regions.

"The need is for these forces to work under the legitimate command of the GNC, the Ministry of Defence and the Presidency of the General Staff in order to resolve the dispute according to approved administrative regulations," the Warshefana said.

A statement from Zawia blamed the interim government, security and judicial institutions for the events. "Behind these events are criminal outlaws causing problems and committing robberies, kidnapping, murders and criminality in all its forms and using the areas of Maamoura, al-Hachan, Kerkoz, District 27 as bases for their activities," it said.

"These locations have witnessed instability for over two years since the liberation," the statement added.

#1  Thirty-one people in the Washerwomen area were jugged at the time. They were charged with theft and banditry along the coastal road.

But, but what about Allah's 20% cut, what about the orphans?

"The need is for these forces to work under the legitimate command of the GNC, the Ministry of Defence and the Presidency of the General Staff in order to resolve the dispute according to approved administrative regulations," the Washerwomen said.

Boy, forget about the GNC. Just order online from Puritan's Pride.

Egypt Police Arrest Senior Islamist Beltagi
[An Nahar] Egyptian police tossed in the clink
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
senior Moslem Brüderbund politician Mohamed al-Beltagi and a former Islamist government minister on Thursday, the interior ministry said.

The firebrand
...firebrands are noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments...
politician was arrested in a village outside Cairo with former labor minister Khaled al-Azhari, who served in ousted president Mohammed Morsi's government, the ministry said.

Beltagi, who had issued defiant video recordings in hiding, was the latest Brotherhood leader tossed in the slammer
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
in a wide-ranging crackdown on the Islamist movement.

A former member of parliament, he became one of the most vociferous opponents of the popularly backed military coup that toppled the Islamist Morsi on July 3.

Police had already arrested the Brotherhood's supreme guide Mohamed Badie and much of the big shotship.

Badie and his deputies are standing trial on charges of involvement in the murder of protesters who stormed the Brotherhood's headquarters on June 30.

Prosecutors had issued a warrant for Beltagi on charges of inciting violence.

Although respected by many Islamist youths, Beltagi was not seen as possessing much influence in the top ranks of the Brotherhood.

He became one of the movement's chief spokesmen after Morsi's ouster, and outraged the former president's opponents when he said hard boy attacks on security forces in Sinai would end only with Morsi's restoration.

His daughter, Asmaa, was killed on August 14 in a deadly police operation that broke up two Islamist protest camps in Cairo.

Two Gitmo Detainees Transferred To Algeria
Two detainees at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been transferred to Algeria, the U.S. Defense Department said Thursday.
They're gonna wish they were back in Cuba...
"The United States is grateful to the government of Algeria for its willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility" by accepting Nabil Said Hadjarab and Mutia Sadiq Ahmad Sayyab, the Pentagon said in a release.

"The United States coordinated with the government of Algeria to ensure these transfers took place consistent with appropriate security and humane treatment measures," the Pentagon said.

The six-department interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force conducted a comprehensive review then determined Hadjarab and Sayyab met the criteria and approved their transfer by consensus, the Defense Department said.

The Defense Department said 164 detainees remain at the Guantanamo Bay facility.

Iraq
Car Bomb at Market North of Baghdad Kills 16
[An Nahar] A boom-mobile destroyed a popular fruit and vegetable market north of Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
on Thursday, killing at least 16 people as Iraqis searched for cut-price groceries.

The blast, which also maimed 25 people, struck in the predominantly Sunni Arab city of Samarra at about 6:45 pm (1545 GMT).

It came a day after a wave of nationwide violence -- including a spate of bombings in the Iraqi capital -- killed at least 75 people.

The attack was the latest in a surge of unrest, with more than 3,700 people killed so far this year, that has sparked concerns Iraq is headed back to the all-out bloodshed that left tens of thousands dead in 2006 and 2007.

It follows security operations targeting snuffies in Storied Baghdad and to the north and west, though the government has faced charges of not dealing with the root causes of the country's worst violence since 2008.

Thursday evening's attack struck the Samarra market, locally known as the Mraydi, at a time when struggling Iraqis typically frequent it in order to take advantage of reduced prices as surplus stock is sold before closing.

In all, 16 people were killed, including three women and two children, and 25 people were maimed, a police officer and a doctor said.

The market, the city's biggest grocery shopping area, lies in the Jiberia neighborhood of eastern Samarra.

Attacks elsewhere in Iraq left three others dead -- a soldier, a civilian and a bad boy who was rubbed out as he was trying to plant a roadside kaboom.

On Wednesday, at least 75 people were killed and more than 200 maimed in a wave of shootings and bombings across Iraq, with the violence mostly targeting the country's Shiite Moslem majority.

Syrian Army Moves Scud Missiles To Avoid Strike
[Ynet] Rebels see dozens of missiles pulling out north of capital. Move part of limited redeployment in central Syria, diplomats say, note rebel raids block wider evacuation
The Syrian army isn't completely stupid. Give them a month's warning and prolonged nattering debate at the U.N. and they too shall get the message, and move their stuff...
Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs...
's forces have removed several Scud missiles and dozens of launchers from a base north of Damascus, possibly to protect the weapons from a Western attack, opposition sources said on Thursday.

The move from the position in the foothills of the Qalamoun mountains, one of Syria's most heavily militarized districts, appears part of a precautionary but limited redeployment of armaments in areas of central Syria still held by Assad's forces, diplomats based in the Middle East told Rooters.

They said rebel raids and fighting near key roads had blocked a wider evacuation of the hundreds of security and army bases that dot the country of 22 million, where Assad's late father imposed his autocratic dynasty four decades ago.

At the headquarters of the army's 155th Brigade, a missile unit whose base sprawls along the western edge of Syria's main highway running north from the capital to Homs, rebel scouts saw dozens mobile Scud launchers pulling out early on Thursday.

Rebel military sources said spotters saw missiles draped in tarpaulins on the launchers, as well as trailer trucks carrying other rockets and equipment. More than two dozen Scuds - 11-metre (35-foot) long ballistic missiles with ranges of 300 km (200 miles) and more - were fired from the base in the Qalamoun area this year, some of which hit even Aleppo in the far north.

The base was among a list of suggested targets presented by the rebel Syrian National Coalition to Western envoys in Istanbul earlier this week, opposition sources said. Scud units, of Soviet or North Korean manufacture, are designed to be mobile and so could still be set up quickly to fire from new positions.

Assad's forces appeared already by Wednesday to have evacuated most personnel from army and security command headquarters in central Damascus, residents and opposition sources in the capital said.

Sheikh Minkara Detained in Connection to Tripoli Bombings
[An Nahar] Head of the pro-Syria Islamic Tawhid Movement-Command Council
The Tawhid party is divided into two parts, one led by Sheikh Bilal Shaaban, a close ally of Hezbollah who is said to be financed by Iran, while the other is headed by Sheikh Hashem Minkara, a staunch Syria supporter
Sheikh Hashem Minkara was jugged
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
on Thursday over "withholding information" related to the deadly bombings that rocked the northern city of 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...
reported the National News Agency.

State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered his detention for investigation in the case.

Minkara was summoned by the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau earlier on Thursday in order to give his testimony.

He was later ordered to be detained on charges of withholding information.

He joins the suspect Sheikh Ahmed al-Gharib and the informant Mustafa Houri, who are both detained in connection with the blasts that took place last Friday.

Later on Thursday, Future TV quoted judicial sources as saying that "Syrian regime officers are behind the Tripoli bombings."

Sources informed on the investigations told MTV that "Minkara's situation is difficult and he was aware that the bombings will take place."

"His ties to Ahmed al-Gharib are being investigated, especially that he had tasked the latter to follow up several dossiers with the Syrian regime," the sources said.

MTV said Houri, Minkara and al-Gharib will be referred to the military judiciary and that Judge Saqr would charge them Friday with "belonging to a terrorist group."

Gharib and Houri both failed a lie detection test they had to take over their alleged links to that blasts.

The test revealed contradictions in Gharib's testimony in the case, reported An Nahar daily on Thursday.

Forty-five people were killed and at least 800 maimed in the Tripoli bombings that targeted the Taqwa and al-Salam mosques as worshipers were performing weekly prayers.

Investigations in Tripoli Twin Blasts Ongoing as Main Suspect Fails Lie Detection Test
[An Nahar] Investigations are ongoing in the twin bombings that targeted the northern city of 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...
as the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau is analyzing the telecom data within a limited timeframe.

According to An Nahar newspaper published on Thursday, Sheikh Ahmed al-Gharib, the main suspect in the case, denied at the beginning of the investigations his prior knowledge about the bombings that targeted two mosques in Tripoli.

However,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone...
Gharib, who has taken a lie-detector test, confessed that he previously knew about the attacks, that were planned in the neighboring country Syria, but denied that he took part in carrying them out.

Later on, Gharib confessed that he participated in scheming the bombings.

The daily said that the intelligence bureau is working on analyzing all phone calls that took place within the timeframe of preparing the attacks.

On Wednesday, State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered the extension of the detention of Gharib and Moustapha Houri.

Houri is the police informer who contacted Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau claiming that he has important information over a Sheikh from Tripoli who is planning to target al-Mustaqbal
... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri...
MP Khaled al-Daher, former ISF chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi and Salafist holy man Sheikh Salem al-Rafehi.

Saqr had visited the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau to inquire about the investigations and to listen to al-Gharib's testimony.

On August 23, Forty-five people were killed and at least 500 maimed in bombings that targeted al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques in the northern city as worshipers were still performing weekly prayers.
