I get confused when it comes to stories where I'm supposed to pick sides between Muslims battling each other. Its rather laughable to pretend that either one can be the "good" side, although I'll concede that sometimes its better when one *bad* side beats the other *bad* side.

[All Africa] Members of the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , in the early hours of Monday, crept upon sleeping villagers of Talari where they slit the throats of the village head and his son, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.
The attackers also rubbed out two other villagers as they were trying to escape.
An official of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria in Borno state, Abbas Gava, confirmed the incident to journalists on phone.
"The gunnies invaded the village in the early hours of Monday and they stormed the home of the village head, Ba' Lawan, where they slaughtered him and his son", he said.
"After killing the village head and his son, they burnt his home down and as the villagers began to run for their lives, the gunnies opened fire on them killing two persons, while many of them escaped with injuries".
Mr. Gava said Talari, an agrarian community in Damboa Local government, is located between Kilakia Village and Chibok.
Boko Haram Death Eaters have recently increased hostilities against villagers in remote communities especially around Damboa and Chibok local government areas of Borno State, which share boundaries with Sambisa forest.
Many of such attacks are unreported due to the remote and isolated nature of the communities, which are usually not protected by security operatives.
Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed
The terror group recently released a video in which they boasted about their large numbers and threatened to carry out more attacks on Nigerians including President Muhammadu Buhari.
Though the Nigeria military described the video as adulterated, the group has since then carried out fresh attacks in Borno State.
Nigeria's information Minister, Lai Mohmammed, recently announced that the Federal Government was willing to do a prisoner swap with the sect to free the kidnapped Chibok girls. He explained how a previously planned swap went wrong based on more demands by the Boko Haram.

[Guardian] French authorities have made eight new arrests in connection with the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice that left 86 people dead, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.

[IsraelTimes] Tunisian and French suspects all linked to Mohammed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who plowed vehicle through crowds on Bastille Day
French authorities said Tuesday that there have been eight new arrests in connection with the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice that left 86 people dead -- 10 of them children and teenagers -- and 434 injured.
All eight suspects were nabbed Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in the Alpes-Maritimes region in the southeastern corner of La Belle France that includes Nice.
The Gay Paree prosecutor’s office said the suspects detained Monday were French and Tunisian and had links to the attacker, Mohammed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who plowed a 19-ton truck down Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and into a crowd assembled for a July 14 fireworks display.
The 31-year-old father of three was rubbed out by police after a firefight. French authorities said the terrorist became radicalized "very quickly," with some of his family and friends saying that he had smoked, drank and never gone to the mosque.
While he had a record of being a petty criminal, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had not appeared on the radar of intelligence services for links to radical Islam.
At least five people already face preliminary terrorism charges in the attack, and are accused of helping Lahouaiej-Bouhlel obtain a pistol and providing other support. It was not immediately clear what role is suspected for the men arrested this week.
"They are all men, of French and Tunisian nationality," an investigation source said.

[DAWN] The Indian army on Tuesday claimed to have blocked an attempt by suspected militants to infiltrate India-held Kashmir (IHK). An Indian army spokesman made this claim just days after a deadly raid on a military base in the territory.
"A group of 10-12 terrorists attempted to infiltrate the Uri sector. They were intercepted and the infiltration bid was foiled," said Indian Army Spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia, referring to the same area where Sunday's attack took place.
Earlier today, Indian and Pakistani troops allegedly exchanged fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector, Indian army officials claimed.
However, Pakistani military sources denied any exchange of fire taking place across the LoC.
India blamed Sunday's attack in which 18 soldiers died on Pakistan-based militants.
The attack which was the worst of its kind to hit the region in more than a decade increased hostility between the two neighbours as they gear up for a showdown at the United Nations General Assembly over held Kashmir.
Indian army spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia, alleged that there had been a "ceasefire violation" near Uri, where Sunday's attack took place, but gave no further details. Uri is near the LoC which divides the disputed territory.
"Small arms exchange of fire is on in the area," a senior police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Occasional violations of a 2003 ceasefire between Pakistan and India are not uncommon. Tuesday's alleged exchange was the first since Sunday's attack.

"Another hostage for the next trade with the infidel Americans, Effendi."
"Good, just stack him with the others, Ramin. Soon there will be enough for another 'nuclear power plant'."
[IsraelTimes] A US permanent resident detained for a year in Iran over spying allegations has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and a $4.2 million fine, his supporters say. The punishment is the latest move in a crackdown on those with foreign ties following last year’s nuclear deal.
The sentence for Nizar Zakka, a Lebanese citizen who advocates for internet freedom and whose nonprofit group did work for the US government, comes as Iranian officials attend the United Nations General Assembly this week in New York.
A statement early Tuesday from Jason Poblete, a US lawyer representing Zakka, said a Revolutionary Court in Tehran handed down the sentence in a 60-page verdict that Zakka’s supporters have yet to see.
Amnesty International has said Zakka had only two court hearings before the ruling and received only limited legal assistance. The closed-door tribunal handles cases involving alleged attempts to overthrow the government.
“There’s no regard for any international order, any international agreement or any international state of relations that they care about,” says David Ramadan, a former Virginia state legislator who co-founded a group called Friends of Nizar Zakka.

#1
An old Moslem Custom. Dates back for absolute centuries.
The young United States had to contend with such Moslem Values and extortion right after the American Revolution, if I remember correctly. That is why Stephen Decatur is so famous and other individuals and events. But today we have Barack Hussein and all that. Bend over America is the new tune.
#2
The young U.S. paid, partly because it didn't have the military to 'pay otherwise.' Many believed it was cheaper to pay tribute than having to build a military; the idea of a standing military was an anathema to many.
As an aside, Decatur's exploits came after a moumental screw-up that caused the loss of the USS Philadelphia.
But that's all History. So much easier to blather rote.
(IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – A local source in Nineveh province informed Iraqi News on Tuesday that the ISIS members flogged three young men in central Mosul on charges of playing football.

[ARA News] RAQQA – The radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) executed 12 of its own jihadi fighters on charges of fleeing the battlefront in Syria’s northeastern Raqqa province, activists reported on Tuesday.
Raqqa is considered the main bastion for ISIS, and the group has been trying to fortify its headquarters there in face of military operations by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the US-led coalition.
“The Islamic State’s military leadership has publicly beheaded 12 of its own militants for evacuating their posts at the battlefront in eastern Syria without permission,” media activist Abu Ibrahim al-Raqawi told ARA News in Raqqa.
“The militants were executed on Tuesday evening in front of hundreds of people in central Raqqa,” the source reported.

3 kidz die in land mine attack in Manbij 2 video reports at the link
[ARA News] MANBIJ – At least three children lost their lives and several others were seriously injured on Tuesday after a landmine planted by ISIS militants exploded in the recently liberated Syrian border city of Manbij.
“A landmine, that had been planted by ISIS terrorists in the Seif Al-Dawla primary school in Manbij, exploded on Tuesday, causing casualties among the children,” Musa Hamdan, a teacher at the targeted school, told ARA News.
“The explosion killed three children, identified as Imad al-Haddouh, Mustafa Ali al-Huran and Othman Nassan,” local media activist Hassan Ibrahim told ARA News. “Also, 14 others were injured and subsequently transferred to the Manbij Hospital for treatment. Some of them are in critical condition.”
The school was evacuated subsequent to the incident. “The school will remain closed until we make sure that it’s completely cleared of ISIS explosives, in order to maintain the safety of the students and the staff,” Hamdan said.
The city of Manbij was liberated by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in mid-August, after over two years of ISIS occupation.
Unexploded devices pose a daily threat to civilians in the cities and towns liberated for ISIS.
Similar cases were reported in Kobane and Hasakah, where dozens of civilians died in explosion of landmines planted by ISIS extremists before losing those areas to the Kurdish YPG forces and allied SDF troops.
Speaking to ARA News, Abdulrahman Hemo, head of the reconstruction board of Kobane, said that the explosives continue to threaten civilian lives. “Until now, 50 per cent of the civilian death toll in Kobane was caused by explosives in the ground,” he said.
“This explosive pollution will make it impossible for people to reconstruct their lives, and blocks access to several areas. It also prevents humanitarian organizations from operating safely and providing the necessary support to this vulnerable population,” said Frédéric Maio, Handicap International’s Mine Action Program Development Manager in a public statement.
“ISIS militants are experts in the use of mines,” German fighter of YPG Heval Cihan told ARA News, suggesting that ISIS is using traps and decoys, which had killed one of the YPG’s mine experts in Ayn al-Issa town.
“After the liberation of Kobane, most martyrs were not killed by attacks, but by mines,” he said.

[ARA News] DUHOK – Abu Iman al-Iraqi, a top jihadi leader and spokesman of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq’s northwestern Nineveh Governorate, has reportedly deserted the group’s ranks on Tuesday.
“Al-Iraqi has escaped with is family. His office and house in Mosul city of Nineveh Governorate were found empty on Tuesday, when the ISIS-led Hisba Police was searching for him after receiving information about his intention to leave,” media activist Abdullah al-Malla told ARA News in Mosul.
The ISIS leadership issued a statement, accusing al-Iraqi of treason and demanding its militants to look for him.
Abu Iman al-Iraqi was the second official spokesman for the Islamic State after Abu Muhammed al-Adnani, who was killed in an airstrike in Aleppo three weeks ago.
Last week, another ISIS official deserted the group’s ranks in northern Iraq. Mahmoud Muhammad Sulaiman, the chief of al-Hisba Police in Mosul and a close friend to the ISIS supreme leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has reportedly escaped Mosul and the group was unable to pursue him.
The ISIS radical group has taken over Mosul city and other parts of Iraq in June of 2014. In late 2015, the group’s power started to decrease under heavy airstrikes by the US-led coalition and ground operations by the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and the Iraqi army. Later on, a number of top jihadi leaders in the group’s ranks were killed, while others defected amid an internal conflict within ISIS over power and money distribution.
