Heads Up People:
After Obama allowed international groups to take over ICANN, website name registration gouging has begun. To reserve a website that used to cost a few dollars a year can cost hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars a year. I saw one URL name that ICANN now wants $35,000.00 for one year even though no one owned it yet. If your website is popular and you want to renew it expect these international groups to demand tens of thousands of dollars from you now.

Unidentified assailants thought to be Al Shabaab members have shot and killed the military prosecutor of Puntland state in the northeastern coastal town of Bosasso on Sunday morning. An eyewitness said the gunmen fled from the scene after shooting dead the attorney general of Puntland military. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the murder.
Last week, Al shabaab has killed a deputy police commander and Puntland’s presidency director in Bosasso city which has been hit by Al shabaab attacks over the past few years.
Puntland, a semi-autonomous federal state in northeast of Somalia is battling for years pro-ISIL militants and Al shabaab fighters in the mountains of Galgala near Bosasso town.
Al Shabaab Islamist-militant group has claimed responsibility for the killing of a senior military official on Sunday by assailants in Bosaso city, Garowe Online report.
Abdikarim Hasan Fidiyo, the Attorney General of Puntland Military courts, died Sunday after armed men attacked him near the Police headquarter, the militia group’s spokesman Abu Musab said in an announcement on affiliated media outlet.
He said Fidiyo has prosecuted many militants linked to the group and was responsible for the death sentences that were giving to their fighters by Puntland courts. He has fought against the group and their operations, added Abu Musab.
However, the late official has made an interview with a local radio station before he was assassinated. In the interview, Fidiyo said his visit to Bosaso city was aimed to take part in the hearing procedures for 70 cases in the military court of Appeals, andfor those who were convicted with serious crimes.
The official spoke about the past fighting between Al Shabaab group and Puntland forces in last March, and indicated that a group of Al Shabaab fighters who were captured have been relocated to the Somali capital Mogadishu, for rehabilitation program because they were minors.
On the other hand, the official has denied the release of any convicted Al Shabaab fighters from Puntland prisons in the past.
Following the interview, Fidiyo was targeted on his way to the Police headquarter amid the presence of security forces in the surrounding areas.
During a BBC interview, The Chief Judge of Puntland Military courts, Abdifatah Haji Adan, has confirmed the presence of security troops near the scene, whereas the suspects was reported to flee the crime scene, and vowed to take necessary actions against troops’ negligence.
The assassination of Fidiyo is among a series of high-profile killings in Bosaso in recent weeks as the northeastern region was fighting a faction affiliated to Islamic State in the past months in port town Qandala, located 75 km east of Bosaso.
At least three people are reported to have been killed, and dozens wounded in an Al Shabaab attack on Somali military outpost near Hudur town on Sunday.
A Somali military officer told Radio Shabelle that heavily armed Al shabaab fighters ambushed army base, sparking fierce clash. The army commander added that SNA forces repulsed the Al Shabaab attack and drove back attackers from the area following a deadly gunfight that left 3 dead.
He said those killed in Sunday fighting near Hudur city, the regional capital of Bakol region were unarmed civilians who caught in the cross-fire.
Unidentified assailants have murdered at least five pastoralist during an attack on a rural village located about 70Km away from the southern coastal city of Kismayo on Sunday, according to residents.
The five livestock herders were killed in deadly ambush attack which took place at Feer-sagaro area, where thousands of nomads are keeping a domestic animals and cultivating their agricultural lands. Several residents who spoke to Radio Shabelle said they could not tell exactly reason behind the attack on the livestock herders and the identity of the attackers.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Frenchwoman who runs an aid group has been kidnapped in Mali’s restive north, the French foreign ministry confirmed on Sunday.
Sophie Petronin was kidnapped in the city of Gao on Saturday, the ministry said, adding that French and Malian authorities were working together "to find and free our compatriot as quickly as possible."
Petronin was the director of a non-governmental organization that helps children suffering from malnutrition, the ministry said, adding that officials were in contact with her family.
Malian officials had on Saturday reported the kidnapping of a woman with dual French and Swiss nationality in Gao, but the Swiss foreign ministry said Sunday there was no indication that Petronin held Swiss citizenship.
Northern Mali fell to jihadist groups linked to al-Qaeda from March 2012. These forces were driven out of key towns by a French-led military intervention the following year.
Barely a week goes by without attacks on security forces despite a peace pact signed last year following lengthy negotiations between the government, groups backing it and ethnic Tuareg rebels. Kidnappings, however, are rare.

[EXPRESS.CO.UK] A MILITANT leader is thought to be one of a pair of Death Eaters killed in Russia after they shot at special forces operatives.
Russian special forces shot the two terrorists
Officers came across the two Death Eaters early this morning in the country’s southern republic of Dagestan ...a formerly inoffensive Caucasus republic currently bedevilled by low-level Islamic insurgency, occasional outbreaks of separatism, ethnic tensions and terrorism, primarily due to its proximity to Chechnya. There are several dozen ethnic groups, most of which speak either Caucasian, Turkic, or Iranian languages. Largest among these ethnic groups are the Avar, Dargin, Kumyk, Lezgin, and Laks. While Russers form less than five percent of the population, Russian remains the primary official language and the lingua franca... , the National Anti-Terrorist Committee (NAK) said.
The pair opened fire on police and in the ensuring shootout both were rubbed out as they attempted to escape.
One of the men is reported to be Ibrahim Amirov, the leader of a local gang called Shamil, which has terrorised the region for years.
Since 2013 the gang has carried out a lengthy list of crimes, including murdering the heads of a village municipality in 2013 and 2015, a local imam and the art director of a cultural centre.
Shamil gang members have in the past managed to hack cellular communication services in the area.
They have also become well-known for extorting large amounts of money from local businesses to fund their underground dealings.
The NAK report says at about 4am on Saturday, as part of an existing counter-terrorism operation, the special forces operatives found the men in the village of Teletl.
They opened fire on the soldiers but were killed during the shootout.
Soldiers found two rifles, a pistol, a grenade, a sniper rifle and ammunition at the scene.

[AlAhram] Turkish authorities are investigating some 10,000 people on suspicion of using social media to support terrorism, the interior ministry said on Saturday, part of a wide crackdown that has alarmed rights groups and some Western allies.

(IS) bully boys, has sacked or suspended more than 100,000 people following an attempted military coup in July. It says the measures are necessary to root out supporters of the putsch and other terrorists.
Rights groups and some European countries have said President Tayyip Erdogan is using the current state of emergency to quash dissent. Since the coup, more than 150 media outlets have been shut down and 140 journalists jugged Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! The interior ministry said on Saturday the fight against terrorism was being carried out "with determination" in social media.
In the last six months, authorities have detained 3,710 people for questioning, the ministry said. Of those, 1,656 have been formally arrested and 84 are still being questioned.
The remaining 1,970 have been released, although 1,203 of those are still being monitored, it said.
Access to social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook is commonly blocked, particularly after bombings or other deadly attacks, internet monitoring groups have said. Turkey denies that it blocks the internet, and has previously blamed outages on spikes in usage after major events.
Technical experts at watchdog groups say the blackouts on social media are intentional, aimed in part at stopping the spread of bully boy images and propaganda.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... on Saturday said "Al-Bab is nearly finished" almost a month after the offensive began to retake the city, which lies 100 miles west of Islamic State’s so-called capital of Raqqa, Syria, AFP reported.
The Turkish president also reiterated his plans to move on the Syrian city of Manbij, a former ISIS stronghold now under control of the American-backed coalition in the country, once the al-Bab operations were complete.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s push into al-Bab had been seen as a thinly-veiled effort by Ankara to take Raqqa without American or coalition support.

[IsraelTimes] Security forces tossed in the slammer Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! four Paleostinians from the West Bank town of Beit Fajjar overnight Saturday on terror offenses, police said in a statement.
Two of the suspects were minors, who were detained for manufacturing improvised weapons. Police uncovered two weapons during raids on the town. The statement did not specify the age of the two suspects. Two other Paleostinians from the town, located 19 kilometers (11 miles) south of Jerusalem, were arrested for throwing Molotov cocktails from a passing car at the Jewish settlement of Migdal Oz in the adjacent Gush Etzion bloc.
All four suspects were taken for questioning.
Police said that an ongoing crackdown on illegal and improvised weapons in the area has so far uncovered dozens of weapons.
Earlier this month IDF soldiers and police arrested two minors in Beit Fajjar suspected of having recently launching multiple rock and firekabooms at Migdal Oz. During their interrogation the pair confessed to belonging to an illegal weapons-making cell in their village, police said at the time. Security forces returned to Beit Fajjar the following night and arrested two more minors in connection with the operation. Ammunition and various gun parts were seized during the arrest raid.
Also Sunday police said security forces recently arrested two Paleostinian residents of East Jerusalem on suspicion of passing intelligence to Paleostinian Authority security agents. The two men, residents of the neighborhoods of a-Ram and Kafr Aqab, are accused of passing intelligence gathered from telecommunications databases they had access to through work, according to an Israel Police spokesperson.
Police did not say what information was transferred.
[IsraelTimes] A 31-year-old woman from the West Bank village of Kafr Aqab, near Ramallah, is charged with attempting to run over an IDF soldier at the Qalandiya crossing two weeks ago. The state prosecutor also charges Amani Hashim with intentional injury and possession of a knife.
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] A fire broke out Sunday morning at an oil refinery in the occupied Paleostinian city of Haifa, containing huge amounts of fuel.
A front man for the Zionist fire-fighting unit pointed out that the fire broke out in one fuel tank, noting that the fire crews are on their way to the place before the fire expands to other tanks.
Sources said later that more than 40 Zionist fire-fighting vehicles are trying to extinguish the fire, but has so far failed to control the blaze.
Rooters news agency reported that the fire broke out in one of the fuel tanks of the "Oil Ravinaraz" company, but there were no reports of injuries. It showed pictures posted on Zionist news websites showing flames and smoke rising from the tank.
[IsraelTimes] After battling the flames for several hours, firefighters said Sunday evening they had gained control of a massive blaze in a gasoline tank at a Haifa refinery that had been raging since morning.
Emergency crews warned that, despite containing the fire, work to extinguish it completely would continue long into the night.
It was not immediately clear how the fire started.
Haifa fire services front man Yoram Levy said the tank held 1,000 cubic liters of gasoline and more than 40 firefighting teams were being sent to try and contain the blaze. Officials said a larger disaster was avoided as the tank, with a capacity of 10,000 cubic liters, was relatively empty.

Gasoline. Fumes are highly combustive. Let it burn itself completely out. Sit back and keep water on the exposures for a day or so. That is actually how fires like this are handled in the oil patch.
[Reuters] As the world battles a spike in assaults and plots by Islamist militants, Indonesia's anti-terrorism unit is drawing praise for stemming a wave of bloody attacks in the sprawling Muslim-majority nation.
Indonesia has foiled at least 15 attacks this year alone and made more than 150 arrests, disrupting plots ranging from suicide attacks in Jakarta to a rocket attack from Indonesia's Batam island targeting Singapore.
Going back to 2010, a Reuters analysis of data shows the elite unit, Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88), has prevented at last 54 plots or attacks in the nation of 250 million people, the world's fourth largest.
"Densus 88 has become better than pretty well any other counter-terrorism group in the world," said Greg Barton, a terrorism export and research professor in Global Islamic Politics at Alfred Deakin Institute in Melbourne.
"They have had an incredible workload and they have become remarkably good at what they do."
In the last six years, there has been only one major attack in Indonesia that caused civilian deaths, when assailants hit a Jakarta mall and police post with gunfire and bombs, resulting in the deaths of three Indonesians and a dual Algerian-Canadian national. All four attackers were also killed in the January 2016 attack.
Between 2002 to 2009, there were nine major attacks by militants, leaving 295 dead and hundreds of others wounded.
Since its formation in 2002, the unit has put a premium on clandestine intelligence gathering. Now much of that intelligence work is done online, by infiltrating and monitoring chat rooms, social media and messaging apps popular with militants.

they didn't though. They're losing massively. 200,000 Islamists rioted in Jakarta because they think the Koran says a non-Muslim can never govern a muslim.
Christian governor Ahok said that interpretation was wrong so they rioted because he "disrespected the koran"
He's now on trial for blasphemy.
That's what LOSING looks like
Those 200,000 people want sharia
So who gives a flying fat crap if the police foiled an attack or two? They're losing the ideological war.

A police bomb squad was still scanning the area for any explosives, Yunus added.
Earlier this week, Indonesian anti-terrorism police potted three suspects in a shootout on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta, and said they had foiled a suicide kaboom planned for the end of the year.
Police have arrested dozens of suspected snuffies in recent months, including a cell on Batam island that planned a rocket attack on neighbouring Singapore.

[Gulf Today] Two motorcycle-riding men threw a grenade into a crowd attending the Christmas Eve mass in a Catholic church in North Cotabato province, injuring at least 16 people including a policeman and a three-year-old girl.
Police chief Bernardo Tayong said most of the injured victims were outside the church when the blast occurred on Saturday night in the town of Midsayap. He said one of those wounded was a policeman manning a patrol car deployed in front of the church to provide security for the worshipers attending the Christmas Eve mass. Tayong said a woman who bore the brunt was seriously hurt when the grenade exploded.
Reverend Jay Virador said, "The Holy Mass was abruptly ended, no more concluding prayers as there was a commotion. We are saddened because we are supposed to be spreading love and peace on Christmas Day."
[FMT] The Abu Sayyaf has demanded RM8.8 million in ransom for five Malaysians it has held hostage for five months in the Philippine island province of Sulu in the Philippines. A report said the militants had rejected intermediaries and directly contacted the families or employers of the crew of Tugboat Serudung 3 it had captured last July off the waters of Lahad Datu, Sabah.
The Philippine military said it cannot confirm the ransom as the Abu Sayyaf had directly negotiated with the family.
Military spokesman Filemon Tan said ground forces were trying to recover all hostages still in the hands of the Abu Sayyaf. He said rescue operations would continue even during the holidays.
The Abu Sayyaf is also believed to be holding captive a Dutch, a German, a Korean, four Indonesians, six Vietnamese and five Filipinos.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army's artillery and missile battalions targeted the so-called "Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

The Syrian Army assault began on Sunday morning, when their battalions fired several missiles and artillery shells towards the terrorist group's gathering points around the villages of Mushrafit Abou Jabbar and Bijan.
Following the initial attack, the Syrian Armed Forces launched a second round of missiles and artillery shells towards the Islamic State's positions, scoring direct hits on a number of sites amid the terrorist group's attempted evasion.
According to a military source at the Kuweires Military Airport, more than 50 Islamic State murderous Moslems were killed or maimed during this powerful assault on Sunday, marking one of the highest casualty totals for the terrorist group this month.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Jaish al-Islam ...Liwa al-Islam (Brigade of Islam) was established by Zahran Alloush, the son of Saudi-based religious scholar Abdullah Mohammed Alloush, after Syrian authorities released him from prison in mid-2011 where he had been serving time for his Salafist activism. The group claimed responsibility for carrying out the July 2012 Damascus bombing that killed Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, Deputy Defense Minister Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani. It was a driving force behind actions in the Damascus region. It cooperated and conducted joint operations with al-Nusra.

(Army of Islam) attempted to take advantage of the fog around the East Ghouta region of rural Damascus on Sunday by launching another powerful assault along the Syrian Arab Army's (SAA) front-lines.
However, women are made to be loved, not understood... this offensive did not go according to plan, thanks in large-part to the Syrian Arab Army's scouts that reported of Jaish al-Islam's movements around the village of Hawsh al-Dawahra.
According to an al-Masdar field correspondent in Damascus, the Syrian Arab Army's 105th Brigade of the Republican Guard carried out a successful ambush near the Hawsh al-Dawahra Farms on Sunday afternoon, killing and wounding a large number of Jaish al-Islam murderous Moslems.
As a result of this Syrian Army ambush, the Salafist tough guys of Jaish al-Islam were forced to frantically retreat to safety in order to avoid sustaining anymore casualties during today's battle.
Recently, Jaish al-Islam issued a call to all their fighters in the East Ghouta to help drive back the Syrian Armed Forces around this rural region east of Damascus; so far, it has been a disaster.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A total of 25 ceasefire violations by gangs were reported during the day in Syria, including 17 in the province of Damascus, six in the province of Aleppo, and two in the province of Hama, the Russian Center for reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria said in its regular daily bulletin posted on the Russian Defense Ministry’s official website on Friday.

In the province of Hama, faceless myrmidons shelled the settlements of Maharda and Kornaz.
No air strikes were delivered by the Russian air group and the Syrian air force at armed opposition groups that have declared cessation of hostilities and informed the Russian or US reconciliation centers about their locations, as follows from the bulletin.
Reconciliation of the warring parties
No new reconciliation agreements were signed with representatives of Syrian settlements in the past day, with their number currently standing at 1,074, the Russian center said.
Talks on joining the regime of cessation of hostilities were continued with field commanders of illegal gangs in the settlement of Muaddamiyet al-Shih in the province of Damascus and commanders of armed opposition groups in the provinces of Homs, Hama, Aleppo and Quneitra. The number of illegal gangs that declared their commitment to the ceasefire terms remains unchanged ― 94, the bulletin says.

[RUDAW.NET] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are just five kilometres away from the strategic Tabqa dam on the Euphrates, west of the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa.
Backed by coalition Arclight airstrikes, the SDF advanced Sunday morning and pushed ISIS out of the village of Eastern Ja’bar, "which puts them about 5 km away from the Euphrates Dam located on the Euphrates at al-Tabaqa city," the conflict monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
The campaign to liberate Raqqa reported they had killed 38 ISIS turbans and destroyed a boom-mobile in the Raqqa countryside on Sunday. The Observatory confirmed the deaths of at least 25 turbans and said that the SDF had suffered casualties as well, but did not provide numbers.
Tabqa city, 40 kilometres west of Raqqa, is of strategic importance ‐ it is home to both a major dam and a former airbase.
The Observatory stated that "leading figures" of ISIS live in the city, which also houses the bad boy group’s largest prison where key prisoners are being held.
In the summer, the Syrian army launched a campaign to retake control of Tabqa. They briefly entered Raqqa province for the first time since ISIS took over the area in August 2014. ISIS sent reinforcements to the area in June and drove the regime forces out of the province for a second time.
The SDF launched the second phase of their Wrath of Euphrates campaign to liberate Raqqa city from ISIS on December 10. The goal of this phase of the military offensive is to "fully liberate the western countryside of Raqqa as well as isolating the city," the SDF stated.

[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] New details revealed over the disturbing footage of a Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (JFS) fighter in Syria convincing his two young daughters to take part in suicide missions that emerged online last week.
Fatima, 8-year-old, who had been behind the suicide bomb which hit a cop shoppe in the bustling al-Midan neighborhood in Damascus on December 16, was heading the Criminal headquarters in Bab Musalla district.
Abu Nimr, or Abdul Rahman Shadad, said in new video that his daughter was sent to another regime police department before blowing herself up in al-Midan.
State-run media reported the child was killed and three coppers were maimed in the incident.
In two videos, Abu Nimr films his wife saying goodbye to Fatima and seven-year-old Islam.
"Why are you sending your daughters?" he asks from behind the camera. "One is seven and the other is eight, they're young for jihad."
"No one is too young for jihad, because jihad is a duty for every Moslem," the woman replies, as the family praises god and the daughters hug and kiss their mother.
In the second, the two girls themselves say they will take part in suicide operations in Damascus.
"Why don’t you leave this to the men? The men who escaped on the green buses?" The child, confused, says yes, before her father asks more questions.
"You want to surrender so that you're raped and killed by the infidels? You want to kill them, no? We're a glorious religion, not a religion of humiliation, isn't that so darling?", Mr Nimr coaxes.
"Why don’t you leave this to the men? The men who escaped on the green buses?" The child, confused, says yes, before her father asks more questions.
"You want to surrender so that you're raped and killed by the infidels? You want to kill them, no? We're a glorious religion, not a religion of humiliation, isn't that so darling?", Mr Nimr coaxes.
"You won’t be scared, because you're going to God, isn't that right?" he asks the younger girl.
The sickening footage was shared widely online on Wednesday. It is not known where the videos of the family were filmed, but the mention of ’green buses’ suggests Aleppo, where the infamous regime buses have been transporting both rebels and civilians to neighbouring Idlib province this week after the fall of the city to government forces.
In October, the UN estimated there to be around 900 JFS fighters among the 8,000 rebels which had held onto the eastern part of the city for the last four years.
But Syrian regime has also bussed surrendering rebels out of besieged areas on several other occasions, including in the southern Damascus suburb of Daraya, which agreed to an amnesty in August. Mr Nimr is originally from Barzeh, a northern suburb of the capital.
Several commentators in Syria have speculated that one of the girls could have been behind an attack in Damascus station last Friday, in which a little girl wandered into a cop shoppe in al-Midan and asked for the toilet before she either detonated a bomb on her person or it went kaboom! remotely.
Maybe it was just one daughter...?
[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist commander who sent his 12 year old daughter on a suicide kaboom mission in the Syrian capital of Damascus this past week was reportedly killed by his own fighters in the Tishreen area.
The terrorist, "Abu Nimr", was responsible for several murders and kidnappings in rural Damascus before he was killed on Sunday.
Abu Nimr received nationwide attention recently after he posted a video with his 12 year old daughter, as she was preparing to detonate her explosives in a government area.
The terrorist was also known around rural Damascus for his role in the murder of the famous Paleostinian-Syrian actor, Mohammad Rifa'i, in 2012.
