[DAWN] Afghan warlord and ex-prime minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar ... who used to be known in intelligence circles as The Most Evil Man in the World but who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil... rejected any increase in the United States (US) troops in Afghanistan on Saturday as he said elections were the only way to bring stability to the war-torn country.
Hekmatyar is back in the political mainstream after returning to Afghan public life in April due to a landmark, but hugely controversial, peace deal he signed with the Kabul government.
The 70-year-old told news hounds that Afghanistan desperately needed "a strong central government led by a powerful president".
"Without this, it is impossible to bring peace and stability to the country," he said, in his first presser with foreign media since returning to Afghanistan after more than twenty years in exile.
"Hezb-e-Islami is ready to co-operate with the government and bring in security and stability unconditionally," Hekmatyar said, referring to the largely dormant Lion of Islam group he heads.
"We accept that elections should be the only way to get to power and the participation of political parties in elections is the only way forward," he added.
Hekmatyar, white-bearded and wearing his trademark black turban, also said that Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... would be wrong to send more American troops to Afghanistan, something the US president is believed to be considering. America has about 8,400 soldiers in the country, well below their presence of more than 100,000 six years ago.

[DAWN] Three women and six children from the same family were killed in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition on their home in northern Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... on Friday, a local health official said, the latest in a series of attacks since 2015.
Yemen has been torn by a civil war in which the exiled government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, is trying to roll back gains made by the Iran-aligned Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... group which controls most of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa.
The head of the local health department, Dr Abdel-Ilah al-Azzi, said the attack at dawn on the family home of Taha al-Dharafi in Mahda district on the south-western outskirts of Saada city, also injured three other people.
"We are recording all the crimes of the enemy and we will not forget them," Azzi said. "All the criminals will be put on trial soon, God willing," he added.

German court dismisses soldier for denying Israel’s existence
5 August
[Jpost] A court in Hanover in the state of Lower Saxony affirmed in June the German armed forces’ decision to discharge a soldier because of his rejection of Israel’s right to exist and support for the US- and EU-classified terrorist organization Hamas. The soldier of Afghan background lashed out at Israel, Jews and the United States during questioning by Germany’s military counter-intelligence service (MAD) in 2016.
According to the legal decision obtained by The Jerusalem Post on Friday, the unnamed soldier said “F***... the Jews and the USA” and justified support for Hamas and Fatah. The German military determined in March that the soldier’s comments violated Germany’s anti-hate law. MAD said the soldier also rejected Israel’s legitimacy as a state.
The soldier started his service in 2016 and planned to serve until 2024. The court’s decision said he claimed he had language difficulties because he was raised in Afghanistan and has only been in the Federal Republic for a few years. The soldier denied his allegedly anti-Jewish and anti-American statements when questioned by MAD. He said he is a Shi’ite and has showed sympathy for his religious brethren.

[AlAhram] Someone apparently threw a bomb through the window of a suburban Minneapolis mosque on Saturday as people were preparing for morning prayers, damaging the imam's office but not injuring anyone, an official said.
The blast happened at around 5 a.m. at the Dar al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington. Police Chief Jeff Potts said at a news conference that Sherlocks were trying to determine the cause of the blast.
The mosque primarily serves people from the area's large Somali community.
Asad Zaman, director of the Moslem American Society of Minnesota, said at a news conference that a witness saw something being thrown at the imam's office window from a "van or truck" before the blast. WCCO-TV reports that he said it may have been a fire bomb. Mohammed Omar, the center's executive director, said a worshipper saw a pickup truck speeding away afterward.
There were 15 to 20 people inside the mosque when the blast happened. Worshippers managed to extinguish the blaze before firefighters arrived, the society said in a news release.
The mosque, which primarily serves people from the area's large Somali community, occasionally receives threatening calls and emails, its executive director, Mohammed Omar, told the Star Tribune .
The mosque serves as a religious center and community organizing platform for Moslem activists and leaders in the area, said the society, which is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest or conviction.
The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting in the investigation.
1) Incident occurred at a time when most Unbelievers are sleeping.
2) Bomb is thrown into unoccupied office where damage can be contained.
3) "Fire bomb" is put out by congregation before Fire Dept. arrives.
4) I lived in Bloomington, and there is NO overt hostility toward Somalis.

The claim that the "bomber" drove a pickup truck, is a clear pointer to "red neck whites" and our local far lefty media echoed it. To what end.
Minnesota's Moscow on the Mississippi river Pravda propaganda machine is quoting CAIR here like pure factoids on crack. Did this really happen? Who knows but from our Gov. Dayton down to his DFL DNC media minions, it does not matter
Does anyone recall a Powerline article about the Minnesota FBI director attending a gathering that included a Hamas affiliate? Foggy on the names but scary as a Hillary when you realize who is investigating Dar al-Farooq.

[OrangeCountyRegister] An Orange County businessman accused of illegally exporting rifle scopes and other tactical equipment to Syria was nabbed Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! Tuesday and charged with smuggling and violating international sanctions.
A federal grand jury, in an indictment unsealed Tuesday, alleges that Rasheed Al Jijakli, 56, of Walnut took tactical equipment to fighters in Syria.
According to the indictment, Jijakli is a Syrian-born naturalized U.S. citizen who serves as the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, vice president, secretary and treasurer of Palmyra Corporation, a check-cashing business in Orange County.
Among the items prosecutors allege that Jijakli provided to Syrian fighters are rifle scopes, laser bore sighters used to adjust sights on firearms, radios and bulletproof vests.
The indictment does not specify to which faction in the Syrian civil war the fighters Jijakli is accused of dealing with are aligned.
On Tuesday in court, the defendant pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." , appearing at ease when chatting with his court-appointed attorney and looking over the indictment. He nodded along as the judge explained his rights.
Jijakli was to be released on bond, required to be on electronic monitoring pending the trial. About a dozen family members attended the hearing, declining comment.
According to the Department of Justice, exporting the equipment would be a violation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, under which the government prohibits "certain transactions with Syria by United States persons or involving U.S.-origin goods."
The indictment alleges that Jijakli ‐ along with three others only identified as "co-conspirators" ‐ got the tactical equipment from unnamed businesses in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Arizona, Arkansas and Washington.
According to the indictment, one of the "unindicted co-conspirators" in January of 2012 communicated with someone in Syria, offering to help buy items such as rifle scopes and weapon-conversion kits and offering to bring the items to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... Over the next several months, the indictment alleges that Jijakli and the others ordered the tactical equipment from the U.S.-based companies. In July 2012, prosecutors allege, Jijakli boarded a flight to Turkey.
Several days later, according to the indictment, Jijakli allegedly arrived in Syria with the smuggled equipment. The indictment alleges that upon his return, Jijakli told one of the so-called unindicted co-conspirators that his trip to Syria was "not too much fun," because he was unable to "join (in) with some action."
According to the indictment, two of the other unindicted co-conspirators also made trips to Syria to smuggle in and turned over tactical equipment.
So if all that happened in 2012, why the arrest and trial now, and why is only one of the miscreants named and arrested?
The indictment does not say how the trio allegedly got the weapons aboard planes; all three flights were reportedly on Ottoman Turkish Airlines out of Los Angeles International Airport.
It isn’t clear how authorities were tipped to the alleged illegal exports.
If convicted, Jijakli faces up to 50 years in federal prison. His attorney declined comment.

[DAWN] Three Kashmiri forces of Evil were killed in a shootout with Indian troops on Saturday, triggering a new round of anti-India protests and festivities.
The fighting began after government forces raided a cluster of homes on a tip that suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) forces of Evil were hiding in India-held Kashmire's northwestern Sopore area, said police Inspector-General Muneer Ahmed Khan. He said that as the soldiers began searching homes, they came under gunfire from krazed killers.
In the ensuing battle, three forces of Evil were killed and a police official injured, he said.
"During the encounter three forces of Evil of LeT were eliminated," a police statement said, adding that three automatic assault rifles were recovered from the site of the clash.
As the news of the killings spread, protests and festivities erupted in several parts of the region as residents rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against Indian rule and in favour of the separatists who have fought against New Delhi's rule since 1989.

[DAWN] Disregarding a Sindh High Court ban on using jirgas to settle disputes, a bloody feud between two factions of the Jatoi clan was settled by one at village Khadim Hussain Jatoi near Shikarpur on Saturday.
The settlement was held under the supervision of former MNA Dr Mohammad Ibrahim Jatoi, former provincial minister Meer Abid Hussain Jatoi and local notable Fatah Muhammad Jatoi.
Anwar Jatoi and Nazar Muhammad Jatoi represented the Badani Jatoi group, one of the warring factions, while Allah Wadhayo and Gulsher Jatoi were nominated by Saad Khanani Jatoi as his faction's 'elders' to mediate on its behalf.
According to the jirga's verdict, a fine of Rs18 million was imposed on the Badani Jatoi group for the murder of 12 individuals belonging to the Saad Khanani Jatoi group. Likewise, the Saad Khanai Jatoi group was fined Rs15 million for 12 men murdered of the Badani Jatoi group.
In addition, both parties were directed to jointly pay Rs5 million as compensation to two passersby -- a woman and a baby girl -- who were killed in their crossfire.
Under the terms of the verdict, both tribes will withdraw their cases against each other, which are currently being heard in anti-terrorism courts.
Both parties accepted the verdict and embraced each other following its announcement. According to police sources, the settlement was a result of police pressure to maintain law and order in the district.
According to sources, 4 deputy superintendents of police, 10 station house officers and a large number of coppers were deployed at the jirga "to avoid any untoward incident".
The deadly conflict had started two years ago when two persons belonging to the Saad Khanani Jatoi faction were killed in police encounter. Saad Khanani Jatoi, the tribal leader, accused the Badani Jatoi group of sharing information with police that led to the men's killing.
In the ensuing conflict, about 27 individuals and 3 passersby -- including two women and a baby girl -- from both parties were killed while dozens received serious wounds in armed festivities.
At least 16 persons were rubbed out in a single deadly clash that took place on July 3, 2017. When police personnel had tried to prevent further losses, gunnies had attacked them with rocket launchers and kept them from entering the area.

Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) An airstrike by warplanes from the United States-led coalition killed 15 Islamic State members in Kirkuk on Saturday, a security source said.
The source told Dijlah TV that the strike targeted group locations in al-Dabas region, 55 Km northwest of the province.
Seven militants were also wounded in the raid, according to the source.
He said coalition jets escalated raids recently after the command had detected an increase in militants’ activity in al-Rashad and Daqouq regions, south of the province.
Islamic State has held a few havens in southwestern Kirkuk, most notably the town of Hawija, since 2014, when the group proclaimed an “Islamic caliphate” on a third of Iraq and Syria. The group had reportedly relocated commands of areas lost to security forces to Kirkuk, with some sources previously quoted saying it became the group’s new capital.
The Iraqi government declared victory over Islamic State militants in Mosul, the group’s former capital in Iraq, last month, and said it was going to proceed towards other group holdouts, including Kirkuk.
The group lost more than 25.000 members in military operations since their launch in October, according to Iraqi generals. A few thousands are thought to remain in Kirkuk, Anbar, Salahuddin and Tal Afar.
Armed conflicts in Iraq killed and wounded more than 500 during July, according to a monthly count by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI).

Diyala (IraqiNews.com) An Iraqi army officer was killed and five soldiers were injured when an explosive device went off west of Baqubah, Diyala, a police source in the province was quoted saying.
DPA quoted the source saying that the bomb, planted on the side of a road in al-Bawiya village, east of Baqubah, exploded in a passing army patrol. An officer was killed while other lower ranking personnel were wounded as a result of the blast.
Islamic State members have escalated their attacks against security and civilians over the past months as Iraqi forces were focusing most of their efforts to drive the group out of Mosul, the militants’ former capital which was declared free earlier this month. More than 25000 militants were killed in the Mosul campaign, according to Iraqi generals, including both foreign and local members, while a few thousands remain in other havens in Diyala, Salahuddin, Kirkuk and Anbar which the Iraqi government plans to target with future military offensives.
Violence and armed conflicts in Iraq left more than 500 Iraqis dead and wounded during the month of July, according to a monthly casualty count released by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI).

Ramadi (IraqiNews.com) An improvised bomb planted by Islamic State militants exploded Saturday in Anbar province, killing two people attending a funeral, Iraqi police sources said.
Kuwaiti Kuna news agency quoted police sources saying that the IED went off inside a cemetery in Ramadi during a funeral ceremony, killing two and wounding three others.
The source said Islamic State militants had used to stash munitions inside cemeteries in the city, adding that they became battlefields between the militants and troops at some cases.
Violence and armed conflicts left more than 500 dead and wounded across Iraq during the month of July, according to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI).
Islamic State militants are still holding three towns in western Anbar near the Syrian borders. Iraqi government forces and tribal militias are preparing for future offensives to retake those regions from the militants.
Last month, the Iraqi government marked its biggest victory over the Islamic State since its emergence in 2014, retaking Mosul, the group’s former capital, after more that eight months of battles.

[PNA] Police and military forces have arrested a suspected Abu Sayyaf Group rebel, involved in the abduction of plantation workers in Basilan in 2001. Chief Inspector Elmer Solon identified the arrested suspect as Hamad Ajijul Susulan alias “Hajer Sailani” and “Ahmad.”
Solon said Susulan was arrested Friday afternoon along the highway in Barangay Mercedes in Zamboanga City in a combined security operation. He said the suspect has a standing arrest warrant for eight counts of kidnapping and serious illegal detention with ransom issued by the regional trial court in Basilan province.
Susulan is reportedly involved in the kidnapping of farm workers of the Golden Harvest Plantation at Barangay Tairan, Lantawan in Basilan on June 11, 2001. The Abu Sayyaf militants seized eight plantation workers during their attack and demanded ransom for their release.
The rebels beheaded some of the workers while others were either rescued by government forces or managed to escape during the firefight.

[The Nation] Insurgents set off a roadside bomb to ambush a team of deputy inspectors from Sugnai Padi police station in Narathiwat on Friday morning, but the police car escaped the blast. No one was hurt.
Sungai Padi deputy inspector Preecha Polsa was traveling in the car with two policemen. When they reached the spot, detonated the bomb via walkie-talkie. Because of the way that the bomb was placed on top of an anthill, the blast was directed upwards. The main blast force missed the car, which suffered only minor damage.T
[ALMASDARNEWS] A huge kaboom could be heard in the western countryside of Aleppo on Friday as a military base belonging to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (Syrian al-Qaeda branch) was targeted in what proved to be a car kaboom.
The suicide kaboom took place in the Rif Muhandseen al-Than area, not far from Urum al-Kubra town, and resulted in the death of 4 HTS fighters while a handful of murderous Moslems sustained shrapnel injuries.
Less than ten casualties? That's not much of a gathering.
Although the bombing occured over 24 hours ago, no party has taken responsibility yet. However, some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go... this is the same region that witnessed infighting between HTS and its primary rival Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... , events which led to the defection of Harakat Nour al-Deen Zenki a couple weeks ago.
ISIS is also known to have sleeper cells in the region while the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) intelligence apparatus, known as the mukhabarat, also operates behind enemy lines.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has been attempting to advance on the strategic T-2 Pumping Station in the eastern countryside of the Homs Governorate recently, pushing from two different axes in order to break-through the enemy lines.
Units from the Syrian Army’s 5th Corps have been attacking the Humaymah area near the T-2 Station for nearly three weeks now, while their allies from the Russian Air Force pound the Islamic State’s (ISIL) positions around the desert.

[Iran Press TV] A UK-based monitoring group has reported that Syrian government forces have liberated the last major town in the Homs province from the ISIS Terrorist group.
On Saturday, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced that al-Sukhnah, some 50 kilometers to the northeast of Palmyra, is now fully free of the terrorists.
The town was freed following an intense firefight with the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... holy warriors which erupted after government forces encircled them from three directions.
During the operations, a large numbers of bad boyz were potted and vast amounts of their equipment and weapons were destroyed.
Meanwhile, ...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit. Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed... the Syrian army, backed by the air force, carried out several strikes on terrorists' positions, gatherings, and fortifications in the Dayr al-Zawr province, killing a large number of ISISis
A military sources also reported that several towns in the province of Raqqah were also liberated from the terrorists.
The towns of al-Hardan, Salem al-Hamd, al-Atshana, Muqla Kabira, Muqla Saghira, and al-Da’ama were also fully liberated after the festivities.
Apart from killing a large number of the terrorists, some 30 of their armored vehicles were also destroyed.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The US-led coalition continues to strike ISIS-held areas across Syria and Iraq, not only looking to propel its allies on the ground but also aiming at systematically eliminating 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.... leadership.
On July 24, a US Arclight airstrike killed the jihadist war chief Abd al-Ghafur near the border city of al-Bukamal in southern Deir Ezzor. His companion, nicknamed Abu Hammam, and three other ISIS members were also neutralized on July 16 in a nearby area, an official statement by the coalition claimed.
The statement suggested that Abd al-Ghafur and Abu Hammam were responsible for managing and directing terror abroad, encouraging ISIS sympathisers to conduct attacks on European and American soil, even supplying them with explosives obtained on the black market.
On July 13, Abu Futtum ‐ a well known bomb specialist and explosive manufacturer for the Islamic State ‐ was taken out by an Arclight airstrike near Mayadin city, anchored on the Euphrates River. Five other high-ranking ISIS fighters, including Razim Kastrati and Orhan Ramadani, were killed three days later in the same region.
Additionally, imported muscle were targeted by seemingly pinpoint US Arclight airstrikes; Lavdrim Muhaxheri was killed by a coalition Arclight airstrike on June 7 in the same area. Muhaxheri was an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo, and a self-proclaimed leader of ISIS imported muscle from Kosovo. Four of his followers, one of whom was identified as Jetmir Ismaili, were killed in a separate air raid a couple weeks later.
In the same time, dozens of civilians are killed by US Arclight airstrikes, mostly in Raqqa city, on a daily basis with collateral damage surging since Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... took office earlier this year.
