Arabia
U.S. Citizen among 24 Jailed over Saudi 'Terror Cell'
[An Nahar] A Riyadh court tossed in the clink
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
24 people, including a U.S. citizen, for up to 27 years Wednesday for forming a "terrorist cell" and attempting to attack Saudi and Bahrain, state media said.

The defendants, sentenced to at least two years in prison, also include one Yemeni citizen, while the rest are all Saudi nationals, said the official SPA news agency.

The U.S. citizen, who was not named, was tossed in the clink
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
for 17 years.

The special court found them guilty of "forming a terrorist cell that plotted attacks against oil pipelines... and some citizens" and disobeying the kingdom's rulers, with some of them traveling to join wars abroad.

Members of the group had also "attempted to carry out a terrorist attack in the kingdom (of 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...
) and Bahrain," site of a Shiite-led uprising against the Sunni regime.

Massive protests lasted one month until a nationwide crackdown which was backed by Saudi-led Gulf forces that rolled into Bahrain in support of the ruling al-Khalifa family in March 2011.

The defendants were also convicted of training for armed combat and possessing weapons and ammunition "in a bid to undermine security" as well as "financing terrorism," said SPA.

Their identities were not disclosed and it was unclear if their trial was linked to those of dozens accused of belonging to al-Qaeda or of involvement in the wave of unrest unleashed by holy warriors in 2003.

Attack on Saudi police sets pipeline ablaze
[Al Ahram] An attack by gunnies on Saudi police patrolling a Shiite village in oil-rich Eastern Province on Tuesday maimed one policeman and caused a pipeline to catch fire, an official said.

The patrol came under "heavy gunfire" in Awamiya, scene of past festivities between Shiite protesters and security forces in the Sunni-dominated kingdom, police front man Colonel Ziad al-Ruqaiti said.

The dawn attack triggered a "limited fire at a nearby pipeline," while a policeman was shot in his leg, he said, without specifying the significance of the pipeline.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Reports: Islamic State threatens war in north Caucasus
Russian media reports say Islamic State militants, in a video posted online, have threatened to start a war in Chechnya and other provinces of Russia's north Caucasus region. The reports say the video, with a Russian translation, was posted by Al-Arabiya.

Russia's NTV channel, in its report, included an excerpt from the video. It shows a militant speaking from the cockpit of a fighter jet at a military airstrip the rebels have seized in northern Syria. The report quotes him as saying the militants plan to "free" Chechnya and the Caucasus "with the mercy of Allah."

The militants also reportedly threatened to start using jets in their attacks.

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov responded he had already given an order to track down the person in the video and "send him to a place from which he will never return."

He said, "We have some good guys who can penetrate any place on the globe where bandits are threatening our country."

Europe
16 Suspected Islamic Militants Arrested In Bosnia
[Ynet] Bosnian police said Wednesday they have detained 16 people suspected of having fought in Syria and Iraq or of recruiting and funding other Balkan men to join the Islamic gunnies there.

Police said about 200 officers from a number of Bosnian law enforcement agencies were involved in an operation targeting 17 locations around the country.
The Times of Israel adds:
During the search of locations where suspects were tossed in the calaboose
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
, police found and seized weapons, ammunition, computer equipment, telephone cards and propaganda materials.

Earlier this year, Bosnia introduced prison terms of up to 10 years for its citizens who fight in conflicts abroad or recruit others.

Woman of Lebanese Origin Held in Denmark over 'IS Fundraising'
[An Nahar] Copenhagen police on Wednesday raided four addresses with ties to a charity suspected of selling stickers to raise funds for the Islamic State.

A 35-year-old stateless man born in Libya, a 30-year-old Danish woman of Lebanese origin and a 50-year old Danish woman were questioned over the sale of stickers that appeared to be a spoof on the yellow ribbons which are traditionally sold to support Danish soldiers stationed overseas.

Two of them were tossed in the slammer
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
while "the second woman chose to come with (us) to an interrogation," deputy police inspector Jens Moeller Jensen said in a statement.

Police were unable to find any stickers during the raids but confiscated money and "various written material" on collecting donations.

"The stickers in question were colored black. The Danish flag was replaced with what appears to be the flag of the Islamic State, and the text 'Support our soldiers' was replaced with 'Support our ummah'," the Copenhagen police said.

"Ummah" is an Arabic word often translated as "community" or "nation."

India-Pakistan
Al-Qaida Declares New Branch in Indian Sub-Continent
[An Nahar] Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri
... Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area. That is not a horn growing from the middle of his forehead, but a prayer bump, attesting to how devout he is...
declared Wednesday in a video message that the global Islamist murderous Moslem movement has launched a new off-shoot in the Indian-sub-continent. In the video, found in online jihadist forums by the SITE terrorism monitoring group, Zawahiri said the new force would fight to revive a Moslem caliphate in Burma, Bangladesh and parts of India.

Zawahiri called on the "umma," or Muslim nation, to unite around "tawhid," or monotheism, "to wage jihad against its enemies, to liberate its land, to restore its sovereignty and to revive its caliphate."

He said the group would recognise the overarching leadership of the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar and be led day-to-day by senior Pakistani fighter Asim Umar. Umar also speaks in the video - using the Urdu language of Pakistan rather than the Egyptian doctor Zawahiri's native Arabic - along with a new group spokesman identified as Usama Mahmoud.
Ynet adds:
Zawahri called for unity among bully boyz and criticized "discord" – echoing a common al-Qaeda complaint against Islamic State's record of clashing with rival Islamist groups in Syria.

The statement also warned al-Qaeda's new wing against oppressing local populations - another complaint leveled against Islamic State by critics in Iraq and Syria.

"If you said that you are doing jihad to defend the sanctities of the Moslems, then you must not transgress against them or their money or honor, and not even transgress your mujahedeen brothers by word and action," he said.

"Discord is a curse and torment, and disgrace for the believers and glory for the disbelievers," he said. "If you say that by your jihad you do not want but the pleasure of Allah, then you must not race for governance and leadership at the first opportunity."

#1  Serious question - why do these numbers consistently remain so high? Why don't fight to the last man knowing they will be dealt with like this? I don't understand why they keep surrendering knowing their fate. I makes no sense.

Is that their sole purpose and the reason for the money and grants donated to them? Aren't they supposed to DO something?

#5  I'm going to come out contrary on the ISIS issue.

ISIS is one of the best Muslim slaughtering machines that anyone has seen lately. True, they also cut a few western heads - but their main stock in trade is butchering Muslims. What's not to like?

Instead of attacking ISIS, we should just be making sure they are always "pointed toward" other Muslims. We should pave the way for the ISIS slaughter machine to carve a wide path through Iraq, and then through Afghanistan, and then through Pakistan - then figure out how to route them through Bangladesh, Indonesia, Brunei,and Malaysia.

Then - after they have finished offing about a billion Muslims - only then should we disassemble the Muslim slaughtering machine.

I have always felt that the West's only answer is to continually turn one Muslim group against another - then heavily arm both sides - and let them go to town. Wait until there is only one team left standing - and then go finish off those few "survivors".

It should not even take much "heavy lifting" - most Muslims - at least the influential ones - seem to harbor a natural barbaric blood-lust and hatred for anyone outside their nuclear family or tribe - and many Muslim men take special pleasure in visiting violence upon the females within their own family.

Southeast Asia
Zamboanga security forces prepared for more MNLF attacks
Nur Misuari's renewed declaration of Mindanao's independence and talk of "movements" by Moro National Liberation Front fighters have sparked rumors of another impending MNLF attack on the city, and security officials say they are not taking the rumors lightly.

Colonel Andrelino Colina, commander of the military-led Joint Task Group Zamboanga, said that the authorities have put in place what he called the "Guardian Shield," an elaborate security plan to protect the city from an attack similar to one the MNLF carried out in September 2013.

Senior Superintendent Angelito Casimiro, the city's police chief, said another reason Guardian Shield was created was to give residents a chance to "commemorate the September siege in a positive way as Zamboangueños rise from the incident with dignity."

Casimiro said, "We do not want the September 2013 incident to happen again," adding that Guardian Shield, which entailed the deployment of more troops, was seen as a "permanent defense plan for the city."

At least 140 people, including about a dozen civilians, were killed in nearly a month of fighting in the incident. Thousands of houses and other buildings were razed.

Habib Mudjahab Hashim, chairman of the MNLF Islamic Command Council, admitted receiving text messages about another plot to lay siege to the city by his colleagues in the MNLF. But he said he did not give credence to the text messages as even security officials had not verified these to be legitimate.

Hashim said he suspected that the unverified reports were being spread around by "people who would only like to sow fear and panic."

He said launching an attack was the farthest thing from the mind of Misuari, who is now more concerned about his safety. Misuari faces arrest warrants for his alleged role in the September 2013 seige. He said the reported MNLF movements may be part of gatherings to commemorate the Sept. 2, 1996 peace accord, which he described as historic for the erstwhile rebel group.

Source: Wanted bomber plans new attacks in southern Thailand
Terror Insurgent suspect Faisal Hayeesama-ae, wanted for a 2004 bomb attack at Songkhla province's Hat Yai Airport, may be in the Hat Yai area to make bombs or provide training to fellow terrorists insurgents in preparation for attacks, according to a security source.

The revelation followed the discovery yesterday of a gas cylinder in a garbage pile in the city, possibly left by terrorists insurgents working on a bomb. The source said Faisal had been in Hat Yai City to make a bomb while his accomplices sought components, and the cylinder might have been delivered by the group.

Officials were instructed to monitor 100 Indonesians in Songkhla province, following a report some foreigners in Narathiwat province had joined the separatist movement.

Al-Sayyed Laid to Rest amid Widespread Anger
[An Nahar] Lebanese Army Sergeant Ali al-Sayyed, who was beheaded by jihadists after being taken captive in the northeastern border town of Arsal, was laid to rest on Wednesday.

A motorcade carrying al-Sayyed's body was transported from the military hospital in Beirut to the Akkar region before he was laid to rest in his hometown of Fnaideq.

TV footage showed the presence of gunnies as the motorcade passed through villages in Akkar.

They opened fire in the air to express their anger at the beheading.

Al-Sayyed's uncle vowed "not to remain silent until the safe return of the captives."

"You will regret this," he said.

The soldier's father urged the gunnies not to open fire.

"My son is the nation's martyr as well as the martyr of Akkar and Fnaideq," he said, expressing similar hopes on the return of the captives.

"He was betrayed by all the politicians, all of them! By parliamentarians and officials, and by the country. He was sold for a cheap price!" thundered his father at the funeral.

Al-Sayyed's body was handed over to military officials on Monday after negotiations with the fighters.

The military said Tuesday that DNA tests confirmed the body is that of al-Sayyed.

The soldier was decapitated by the bully boyz according to photos posted on social networks on August 28.

Al-Sayyed disappeared from Arsal around the time bully boyz from Syria overran Arsal early August, killing and kidnapping soldiers and coppers.

The bully boyz included fighters from the Islamic State group and the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front.

Families have demonstrated throughout Leb by cutting roads to demand the captives' release.

The Islamic State group holds roughly a third of Iraq and Syria, including several strategically important cities like Fallujah and djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria.

IS has beheaded two U.S. journalists and still holds at least two other Americans hostage.

It has also threatened to behead a British hostage.

Regime Air Strike Kills 10 Children in East Syria
[An Nahar] Sixteen people, among them 10 children, were killed in a government air raid in east Syria on Wednesday, a monitor said, but state media blamed the deaths on jihadist Lion of Islams.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based monitor, said an air strike hit a bus on the road between eastern Deir Ezzor province and Damascus as it passed through the Shula area.

The group said most of the children were under the age of 10.

But state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
said that the jihadist Islamic State group had killed the passengers, putting the corpse count at 13 without specifying how they were killed.

It said most of those killed were women and kiddies and said they were from the Shaitat tribe, which has engaged in festivities with the Islamic State in Deir Ezzor.

The Islamic State controls large parts of Deir Ezzor, including Shula, and has seen its strongholds in the province and elsewhere come under attack in stepped-up regime air raids in recent weeks.

Terror Networks
New undetectable explosive may be used in AQ's next round of 9-11 attacks (Debka)


Our intelligence and counter terrorism sources disclose that the data on the two Al Qaeda groups' plans to mark the 9/11 anniversary with major attacks has been in the hands of Middle Eastern, European and US security agencies since the second week of May, i.e., five months ago.

They were also anxiously aware that Al Qaeda's top bomb-maker, Ibrahim Hassan A-Asiri, who works out of Yemen, had developed a secret explosive substance that can pass undetected through the screening devices and security measures currently in use at international airports and public places in the West and the Middle East.

Intelligence experts believe that this novel substance, when hidden in special shoes or electronic devices like iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones, can beat even tight security scrutiny. However, information has also been received about the new undetectable explosive substance being implanted in the bodies of suicide jihadists, to produce the ultimate "body bombs."

It is feared that this hazard is already in place and that a surgical procedure may have been carried out to implant it on carriers of American or European passports, at a secret clinic in Yemen or a Gulf emirate by a surgeon dedicated to the radical Islamist cause. These human bombs will have been able to travel through Jordan or Iraq through Turkey to their targeted destinations. Such carriers of invisible bombs may be Americans, Belgians, Britons, Australians, French citizens or Germans, and already on standby for the prearranged signal to push a certain button and demolish a selected target.

The novel invention has made it infinitely easier for terrorists to move around and approach their targets, unnoticed and without arousing suspicion.

Prime Minister Cameron has woken up to the peril. He announced Tuesday, Sept. 22, he would ask parliament to urgently approve sweeping legislation to combat the "scourge of extremism" - including the power to seize passports of an estimated 500 British Muslims known to be frequent travelers to Turkey, Syria and Iraq and strongly suspected of identifying with Al Qaeda's jihadist ideology.
