[SouthAfricaToday] Two Palm Springs police officers trying to resolve a family dispute were shot to death Saturday when a man they had been speaking calmly with suddenly pulled out a gun and opened fire on them, the city’s police chief told reporters.
A third officer was wounded. The shooter was not immediately apprehended.
“It was a simple family disturbance and he elected to open fire on a few of the guardians of the city,” police Chief Bryan Reyes, his voice breaking, told reporters.
The chief, near tears, identified the slain officers as Jose “Gil” Gilbert Vega and Lesley Zerebny.
Police said Zerebny recently returned to the force from maternity leave after giving birth to a now-4-month-old daughter. Vega, the father of eight, was a 35-year veteran who planned to retire in December. The wounded officer’s name was not released.
Reyes said the three officers were standing near the front door speaking with the man, “trying to negotiate with the suspect to just comply,” when he suddenly shot them.
He said the shooter was not apprehended and may still be in the house. He said Riverside County sheriff’s SWAT officers had the residence surrounded and were now leading the investigation.
Reyes also urged the media and others not to stream live video of police officers’ movements on social media, adding it could put them in danger.
“Understand that we’re actively looking for a cop murderer,” he said.
Dozens of law enforcement officers converged on the normally quiet residential neighborhood in this desert resort city after the shooting. They sealed off several blocks and evacuated some residents.
Police Sgt. William Hutchinson said officers were warning people already inside their homes to stay there, lock their doors and not answer them until further notice.
Although Reyes didn’t identify the shooting suspect, he indicated police had had previous dealings with him.
A neighbor, Frances Serrano, told The Associated Press she called authorities after the father of the shooting suspect came to her house across the street and told her his son was “acting crazy.”
“He said his wife left because she was so scared of him,” Serrano said, adding the father warned that his son threatened to shoot police if they arrived.
She’d gone back inside her home before officers arrived, Serrano said, and a few minutes after they got there she heard gunfire. Moments later officers were knocking on her door, warning her to stay inside.
Serrano said the man police are looking for had been in jail at one time and had to wear a monitor on his ankle when he was first released. But she added that he had always been friendly and polite to her and her family.

John Felix, 26, a known gang member, was taken into custody at around 12:50 a.m. Sunday morning after a 12-hour standoff with police.
Tragic.
This cat only served 4 years on an attempted assassination - out of prison - and the media hides his picture and claim mental issues.
I am curious whether this is a case of institutional hesitation - where the officers hesitated to engage for fear of being smeared with the police brutality brush?

What, you expect our government to take crime seriously? They're moaning about the "cost of imprisonment", as if its a mere *budgeting* issue. Fuck them. Fuck the criminals. Fuck the judges who buy into the treatment of sentencing as mere "financial" issues.

Because ISIS doesn't have enough on its plate right now...
The radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) announced on Saturday the start of its operations in Algeria.
In a statement published by the jihadi Amaq Agency, ISIS claimed responsibility for a bomb attack on an Algerian Army convoy in the Skikda Province.
ISIS militants detonated an explosive device at an army convoy near the Tamalous town in Skikda Province, in northeastern Algeria. It was not immediately clear whether the explosion caused any casualties.
The ISIS leadership vowed to continue its attacks in Algeria and threatened to extend its operations against government forces. In September 2014, a group of militants deserted al-Qaeda ranks and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS).
According to reports, at least 200 ISIS militants are currently active in Algeria.

[Libya Observer] al-Bunyan al-Marsoos forces managed on Friday to separate the last ISIS-controlled areas in Sirte, a spokesperson has declared.
Brigadier Mohammed al-Gosri said the Misrata-led forces took control of the dividing line between neighbourhood 600 and sea-view Jiza apartment buildings, describing it a heroic act.
The control of the dividing line will disconnect ISIS bully boyz in both areas from each other and cut aid routes to the radical group.
"This will make it easier to eliminate ISIS remnants more than ever," al-Gosri noted, expecting the final battle would take place within the next hours.
He said their forces have discovered secrete underground tunnels that were used by ISIS bully boyz to move within their besieged areas in the city.
Al-Gosri also revealed that the Italian field hospital is going to open in the next few days to treat their maimed fighters.

[Arab Times] KUWAIT CITY, Oct 8, An Egyptian driving a garbage truck loaded with explosives and Islamic State papers rammed into a truck carrying five US soldiers in Kuwait on Saturday, injuring only himself in the attack, authorities said.
The attempted attack is the first by the Islamic State group to target American troops in the tiny, oil-rich emirate that’s a stalwart US ally.
It comes as authorities already increased security ahead of a major Shiite commemoration in the coming days. The state-run Kuwait News Agency identified the attacker as Ibrahim Sulaiman, born in 1988, and published a picture of the alleged assailant in a hospital bed, a bruise beneath his right eye.
KUNA said the five soldiers were not injured. It said Sulaiman had multiple fractures and injuries. It was not immediately clear if the Egyptian had a lawyer.
The KUNA report did not offer a location for the failed attack, though it published pictures of the aftermath of the crash showing a wrecked garbage truck, as well as items it described as a suicide belt loaded with shrapnel. The white pickup truck apparently carrying the soldiers had the left side of its bed smashed in. American forces and others have troops stationed at Kuwait’s Camp Arifjan.

Yemen’s army has announced the death of its most senior commander to be killed this year in the country’s ongoing civil war.
In a statement late on Friday, it said Maj-Gen. Abdul-Rab al-Shadadi was killed while leading an offensive against the Iranian-backed Shiite rebels known as the Houthis east of the capital Sanaa. Three militia commanders fighting alongside the army of the internationally-recognized government were also killed.
It says all four were killed when a missile fired by the Houthis struck their position on Friday.
An airstrike by a Saudi-led coalition on Saturday targeted a funeral hall filled with mourners in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, killing at least 82 people and turning the site into a “lake of blood,” according to officials. They said at least another 100 have been wounded in the strike.
The dead and wounded include senior military and security officials from the ranks of the Shia Houthi rebels fighting the internationally recognised government of president Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi as well as their allies, loyalists of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
In the aftermath of the strike, hundreds of body parts were found strewn in and outside the hall. Rescuers collected them in sacks.
“The place has been turned into a lake of blood,” said one rescuer, Murad Tawfiq.
Ambulances rushed to the site to ferry the wounded to hospitals. In radio broadcasts, the health ministry summoned off-duty doctors and called on residents to donate blood. Rescuers, meanwhile, sifted through the rubble in search of more casualties but a fire hindered their efforts.
The funeral was for Ali al-Rawishan, the father of the interior minister Galal al-Rawishan, an ally of both the Houthi movement and their chief ally Saleh.
Witnesses and medics said a missile hit the hall in the south of the capital, destroying the building. They described ambulances ferrying casualties from the scene, where a plume of black smoke rose into the sky.
The Houthi-controlled news site sabanews.net said: “Dozens of citizens fell as martyrs or were wounded in this attack by planes of the Saudi-American aggression.”
There was no immediate comment from the Saudi-led coalition.

[Dhaka Tribune] Alleged New JMB money man Abdur Rahman, caught by RAB in a raid in Ashulia area, has departed this vale of tears.

Special forces "neutralised" four fighters in Nazran, the largest city in the Ingushetia region, and two more in the village of Gazi-Yurt, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said in a statement quoted by Interfax news agency.
"According to preliminary information, among the neutralised bandidos was an emissary of IS, Zabairi Sautiyev, who arrived from Syria to renew terrorist activity in the (Ingushetia) region."
The Russian North Caucasus is one of the major sources of foreign jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq.
Sautiyev is listed as wanted by the interior ministry of Ingushetia for "crimes of a terrorist nature." The 23-year-old was born in the region and is registered as living there.
The Russian authorities said they found two suicide belts at the scene as well as semi-automatic machineguns, pistols and hand grenades.

[Breitbart] Former intelligence chief László Foldi has said that forces conspiring to open Europe's borders are using the tactics of "fourth generation warfare" to turn the continent multicultural.
Former Director of Operations at the Hungarian Intelligence Services Foldi says the media, so-called humanitarian organisations, and Brussels work together to undermine Europe's borders.
Speaking on Kossuth Radio, the intelligence expert says that following the country's referendum in which 98.5 per cent of voters rejected Brussels's plans for mandatory migrant quotas he expects to see a "serious attack" on Hungary from three directions.
"One of them will be a formal political attack from Brussels, another one an informal attack with the help of the mainstream media, which will be a significant portion of the Western media outlets, but also the local media which are financed from outside of Hungary."
The security expert says the third prong in the offensive is a "concrete attack" on the country's borders, in which "civilian organisations" mobilise migrants to the Hungarian border.
Mr. Foldi highlights how hundreds of migrants suddenly set off from Serbia to Hungary holding signs written in English and chanting demands for open borders following the referendum this week.

[IsraelTimes] Security boosted at capital’s airports and train stations; officials say Syrian national Jaber Albakr could have Islamic State links
Deutsche Welle has a grainy photo of the miscreant here.
German police were carrying out a huge manhunt Saturday for a 22-year-old Syrian suspected of planning a kaboom, after finding "highly explosive" materials in his apartment.
Security has been boosted at Berlin’s two airports and at train stations in the capital.
The suspect, Jaber Albakr, could have had "an Islamist motive," police sources told AFP. German news agency DPA, citing security sources, reported that Albakr had links to the Islamic State (IS) group.
Police said "several hundred grams" of an "explosive substance even more dangerous than TNT"
...sounds like TATP, a.k.a. Mother of Satan, the explosive you can mix up in the bathtub of your mother...
were found in Albakr’s apartment in the eastern city of Chemnitz, about 260 kilometers south of Berlin.
"Even a small quantity of this substance could have caused enormous damage," police said.
Three people with links to Albakr, who arrived in Germany last year as a refugee, have been incarcerated ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in Chemnitz.
Heavily-armed officers, some wearing balaclavas, carried out a vast operation in the neighborhood where Albakr had been living.
Around 100 local residents were evacuated from the area, and a loud kaboom was heard in the leafy suburb as police forced their way into the apartment with an entry device.
Under surveillance
In Chemnitz, part of the city’s main station was sealed off by officers as a remote-controlled robot was deployed to inspect a suspect package on a platform which turned out to be harmless.
Police destroyed the explosives found in the apartment in specially-dug holes on land nearby.
Albakr had been under surveillance for some time, with the magazine Focus reporting that he was suspected of plotting to attack an airport.
Two of his associates were arrested close to Chemnitz’s railway station while a third was taken into custody in the city centre. A package belonging to one of those arrested was undergoing analysis, police added.
"They were known to the suspect we are looking for and were arrested and detained," said Bernhardt, who added that the trio were being questioned.
Albakr was living in a neighborhood of Chemnitz whose communist-era housing estates are home to many recently arrived refugees.
Police in the state of Saxony, where the city is located, issued a search warrant for Albakr after officers received information from domestic intelligence services, a police front man said, saying he was born in Syria in January 1994.
They added that Albakr was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and was "suspected of preparing a kaboom."
"At present we do not know where (the suspect) is or what he is carrying," police said on Twitter, urging residents to be cautious.
German police said previously they had identified 523 people who posed a security threat to the country, around half of whom were known to be currently in Germany.

[IsraelTimes] Two men who apparently planned to carry out a massive car kaboom in Ankara detonate explosives
Two people suspected of planning a car kaboom on the Turkish capital Ankara on Saturday blew themselves up after being confronted by police, averting what the justice minister called a "huge disaster".
The suspects, who both died in the kaboom, were believed to be preparing an attack when they set off the explosives, the official Anadolu news agency said.
"A huge disaster has been prevented. It is probable they would have attacked Ankara.... All signs are pointing to the PKK terrorist organization," Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told the CNN-Turk broadcaster.
The bombing comes two days before the first anniversary of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s deadliest terror attack in its modern history in Ankara which left 103 dead. The attack was blamed on jihadists from the Islamic State ...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.... group.
Ankara governor Ercan Topaca told news hounds at the scene it was "highly likely" that the suspects had connections to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
"The materials used, the construction and the way it was planned point to the PKK...." he said, quoted by Anadolu.
The governor said police swooped early on Saturday after a tip-off from Diyarbakir, a mainly Kurdish province in Turkey’s southeast.
No-one else was killed or injured in the blast understood to have taken place close to a black car in the town of Haymana, around 30 kilometers (18 miles) from Ankara, the governor’s office said in a statement.
The suspects were believed to have been hiding in a hut near a stud.
"The security forces launched the operation and warned (them) to surrender. A short while later (and) before any intervention, two forces of Evil confirmed to be a man and a woman detonated themselves," the statement added.
In televised comments, Topaca also said the suspects were a male born in the eastern province of Bingol and an unidentified female. She was later named in Turkish media.
He added that the authorities were looking for a third person adding that the jacket wallahs hung a Turkish flag on the car to avoid suspicion.
An ID card was also found at the scene, the statement said.
On Friday, the Kurdish group Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) with ties to the PKK grabbed credit for a cycle of violence bombing on Thursday near a cop shoppe in Istanbul which maimed 10 people.
Eight PKK terrorists were killed Saturday in Turkey’s southeastern province of Hakkari, the military said, Anadolu reported. In a statement, the Turkish General Staff said they were “neutralized” in Cukurca, a mountainous district on the Iraqi border.
Hakkari, which borders both Iraq and Iran, has seen a number of anti-terror operations since the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU -- resumed its 30-year armed campaign in July last year. The PKK maintains bases in northern Iraq.
Since the resumption of the conflict, PKK terror organization martyred more than 600 security personnel and claimed lives of many civilians including women and children while around 7,000 terrorists were killed in army operations.

[DAWN] Indian forces fired shotgun pellets and tear gas Saturday as thousands carried the body of a young boy killed overnight during an anti-India protest in Srinagar
Chanting slogans "Go India, go back" and "We want freedom", thousands of residents marched to the main Martyr's Graveyard in Srinagar for the burial of the 12-year-old boy.
The boy was critically injured on Friday evening after he was hit by shotgun pellets all over his body and died at a hospital early Saturday.
Residents said the young student was hit inside his home compound, some 30 feet from festivities between protesters and government forces. Police say he was part of the festivities.
Police and paramilitary soldiers fired warning shots, pellets and tear gas, fearing the procession could become a larger rally seeking an end of Indian rule in the disputed Himalayan region, said a police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... in keeping with department policy.
Clashes broke out as hundreds of young men hurled rocks at the troops while another group of mourners changed route to bury the dead.
On Friday, at least 50 people were maimed during dozens of festivities as tens of thousands of Kashmiris protested against Indian rule.

[IsraelTimes] Security forces in West Bank capture man as he tries to move firearms, munitions through checkpoint
Israeli security forces on Saturday locked away Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! a Paleostinian man caught transporting a stash of weapons that included three improvised firearms, two magazines, ammunition and bullets, the IDF said in a statement. The suspect was detained by Israel Police and IDF forces at a checkpoint near the West Bank city of Bethlehem. He was apparently trying to transfer the weaponry to a hiding place.
Earlier on Saturday, security forces arrested a Paleostinian suspect carrying a firearm in Bethlehem’s Dheisheh Refugee Camp, the army said.
The army and police are in the midst of a large campaign to crackdown on illegal arms manufacturing and weapons smuggling in the West Bank and Israel. According to the army statement, Israeli forces have uncovered and dismantled 32 Paleostinian weapon manufacturing workshops and seized over 350 firearms in the West Bank since the beginning of 2016.
IDF arrest raids in the West Bank are common and have stepped up slightly as military officials attempt to head off what they fear may be an uptick in violence during the fall holiday season, when tensions have been known to rise.
[ARA News] HASAKAH – Militant fighters of the Islamic State (ISIS) launched on Sunday an offensive on headquarters of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) south of Hasakah city, in northeastern Syria.
Military sources told ARA News that ISIS militants carried out a car bomb attack on an SDF security checkpoint near the Shaddari city in the southern countryside of Hasakah. The radical group has also hit SDF headquarters in Shaddadi with a number of mortar shells.
At least five fighters from the US-backed SDF forces were killed and two others were seriously injured due to ISIS attacks on Sunday.
In the meantime, heavy clashes took place between the SDF and ISIS in the Azzawi town in Shaddadi countryside.
“ISIS militants have been trying to infiltrate into Shaddadi and other areas in southern Hasakah, but our forces were able to repel the attack and forced ISIS to withdraw towards Deir ez-Zor after heavy clashes on Sunday,” an SDF spokesman told ARA News.
In mid-February 2016, Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG) and allied SDF fighters concluded a protracted campaign by liberating Shaddadi City in Hasakah province.
ISIS militants evacuated their headquarters in Shaddadi under heavy SDF bombardment. “More than 275 ISIS militants were killed and 33 ISIS vehicles were destroyed at the hands of the SDF fighters in the Battle for Shaddadi,” SDF spokesman Talal Silo told ARA News at the time.
During the offensive, SDF troops also seized control of the Jibisa Gas Facility, located 12 km east of Shaddadi City. ISIS had used the critical refinery to produce more than a million gas cylinders, which were then sold on the black market.
The SDF’s progress came after the SDF cut ISIS’ main supply route in al-Hawl, near Syria’s northeastern border with Iraq. This advance was supported by the U.S.-led coalition, who provided air cover.
Since the campaign concluded, ISIS has been trying to infiltrate into the area, launching mortar and car bomb attacks from bases in Deir ez-Zor Governorate.

ALEPPO – Islamist rebel groups launched on Saturday a renewed attack on the Kurdish district of Sheikh Maqsoud in Aleppo city, killing and wounding a number of civilians.
Local sources reported that fighters of the Islamic Movement of Ahrar al-Sham and allied groups shelled the Kurdish-populated Sheikh Maqsoud district with mortars.
“Seven civilians lost their lives, including three children, due to the mortar attack on Sheikh Maqsoud,” Dr Mihemed Hamke, director of a local hospital in the targeted area, told ARA News.
Dr Hamke added that more than a dozen civilians were injured in the bombardment on Saturday. “Some of them are in critical condition,” he said.
Ahrar al-Sham Movement, backed by the al-Qaeda splinter group of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham [previously known as Nusra Front], used their bases in the nearby neighbourhoods of Ain al-Tal and Baedin to bomb Sheikh Maqsoud district.
The Kurdish district of Sheikh Maqsoud has been under siege by Syrian Islamist rebels for years, and violence has recently intensified in the district as the Kurdish YPG forces have been trying to push back the Islamist groups.
Amnesty International has recently issued a report with regard to the developments in the Kurdish-populated district, saying: “Armed groups surrounding the Sheikh Maqsoud district of Aleppo city have repeatedly carried out indiscriminate attacks that have struck civilian homes, streets, markets and mosques, killing and injuring civilians and displaying a shameful disregard for human life.”
Speaking to ARA News, Luqman Ismail, one of the stranded citizens in Sheikh Maqsoud, said that electricity outage has continued for nearly three years because of repeated attack by Islamists on the main power network outside the district. “These groups are apparently punishing the people of Sheikh Maqsoud for their support to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), who have been engaged in fighting with radical Islamists around the city of Aleppo,” he said in an earlier interview.
[ALMASDARNEWS] According to a statement of the Hmeymim Reconciliation center, a Russian helicopter was attacked by ISIS terrorists.
The helicopter was attacked by manpads as it attempted to deliver aid in Hama. The crew successfully avoided the missiles.
"Due to the high altitude, early launch detection and the crew's skill in maneuvering, the missile was dodged. Nobody on board of the helicopter was injured," the statement read.
Sputnik reported that the ISIS bully boyz reportedly received two MANPADS from Iraq on October 6 to ensure the air defense of the bully boyz fighting government forces trying to take control of the M5 highway that connects Hama to Aleppo.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) was able to make a noticeable advance in the rebel stronghold of Khan al-Sheh in Western Ghouta.
Units from the elite 4th Mechanized Division managed to infiltrate the town from the northern sector seizing Masjid al-Azim district of the town along with several building blocks from the direction of Drushah and Tahtouh Buildings after hours of intense festivities with primarily Jabhat Fath al-Sham terrorists.
The military command of the Syrian Armed Forces seeks to expel the bad boy presence in the sensitive region of Western Ghouta to improve logistical operation capabilities of the government troops in southern Syria and enhance security in the capital's backyard.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... 's Southern Front alliance launched a new offensive in the relatively calm Dara'a province aimed at recapturing the abandoned base, Abu Kaser checkpoints, Abu Madi Farms, Tawil Farms, Atisah Farms, and cutting the Dara'a-Damascus highway.
So far, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) was able to repel the attack on the abandoned base killing at least 10 Salafist tough guys including two high ranking military commanders known as Abdallah Qassem and Rustum Kanakri. The offensive would change from bad to worse when government troops destroyed a rebel tank and two technical vehicles while repelling the assault.
Rebels are very likely to abort this offensive after incurring heavy losses without any field advances whatsoever. The fronts in southern Syria have been very stale this past year as several jihadist offensives would utterly fail in securing any positive results for the disgruntled bully boys.
