[DAWN] Taliban ...Arabic for students... fighters killed a governor and took control of his district in northern Afghanistan as festivities broke out across the country, officials said on Tuesday, accusing the gunnies of defying the start of a government ceasefire with them.
There was intense fighting between Afghan cops and Taliban button men in the northern provinces of Faryab and Sari Pul, with officials reporting an unspecified number of casualties on both sides.
The governor of Kohistan ...a backwoods district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa distinguished by being even more rustic than is the norm among the local Pashtuns.... district in Faryab was killed along with eight others in an ambush overnight, provincial governor front man Jawed Bidar told AFP, blaming the Taliban.
He said the gunnies had seized control of the district. That was confirmed by provincial police chief Nabi Jan Mullah Khail.
The Taliban claimed the Faryab attack as well as one in Sayad district of neighbouring Sari Pul where provincial governor front man Zabiullah Amani said fighting was still underway.
"Last night large numbers of Taliban attacked several villages... the fighting continues and both sides have casualties," Amani told AFP. "We have asked for more reinforcements."
A jacket wallah driving a Humvee and button men also attacked a district government building in the southeastern province of Ghazni overnight, killing five people, all coppers, and wounding 26, including the district governor, provincial governor front man Arif Noori told AFP.
Noori blamed the Taliban for the attack, although no group has so far grabbed credit.
"The ceasefire went on effect this morning," interior ministry front man Najib Danish said.
"We have ordered our forces to defend with all their power if they are attacked by an enemy that has no respect for anything." The attacks come as Pakistain's powerful army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa visits Kabul where he was set to meet with President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. , Pakistain's military front man Major General Asif Ghafoor said.
Pakistain has long been accused of supporting the Taliban and providing safe haven to its leaders ‐ charges Islamabad denies.
Ghani on Thursday announced police and troops would halt hostilities with the Taliban for eight days ‐ though he warned that operations against other groups, including 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, would continue.
The Taliban said Saturday their fighters would stop attacking Afghan cops but only for the first three days of Eid, the holiday capping Ramadan, that begins at the end of this week.
They said they would continue attacking US-led NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... troops.
If it holds, analysts had expressed cautious optimism that the agreements could help build trust between the government and the Taliban and lay the groundwork for peace talks.
But with myriad gangs in Afghanistan, there are still fears that IS could continue to carry out attacks ‐ or even be helped by the Haqqani Network, a brutal arm of the Taliban that is suspected of partnering with IS on attacks in Kabul in the past.

[DAWN] Heavy fighting ... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy... in 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... between pro-government forces and sock puppets of the Medes and the Persians has killed more than 600 people on both sides in recent days, security officials said on Monday.
Government forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, have been advancing along the western coast in recent weeks as they battle the Iran-allied rebels, known as Houthis. The fighting has escalated as government forces close in on the Red Sea port of Hodeida, a vital lifeline through which most of Yemen’s food and medicine enters.
Witnesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, said the fighting has forced dozens of families to leave their homes.
The United States urged all parties of the conflict to ensure humanitarian access to the Yemeni people, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday. The US, he said, is closely following developments in Hodeidah and urged Emirati leaders to preserve "the free flow of humanitarian aid and life-saving commercial imports."
International aid group Doctors Without Borders said on Monday the Saudi-led coalition attacked a cholera treatment centre in the northern province of Hajja. The group, known by its French acronym MSF, has temporarily frozen its activities in the area, "until we guarantee the safety of our staff and patients," said Joo Martins, MSF’s head of mission in Yemen tweeted.

Does it involve a bulldozer digging a trench in view of their jail cell windows along with a cage and a can of gas?

I'm thinking a dinghy, a candle, a can of gasoline and a plastic cup. Chain the guy in the dinghy, fill the dinghy with gasoline, put the candle just out of reach and light it. Give the guy the cup. Let him start bailing. Oh, wait, this is happening on dry land on a hot day...

[SunStar] A militant, believed to have ties with kidnap-for-ranson-group, was killed while a New People’s Army militant was captured in separate clashes in Zamboanga Peninsula, the military reported on Sunday. The slain militant was identified as Haton Hassan, and the captured NPA militant as Jerry Nunez Macabinta alias “Ka Elly.”
Military spokesman Roseller Murillo said Hassan was killed in a gun battle Saturday in the village of Panabutan, Sirawai, Zamboanga del Norte. He said the troops were on patrol when they clashed with the rebel group led by Jumalon Tungkalan. Murillo said the battle lasted around five minutes, after which the group scattered.
Murillo said that Macabinta was captured following a five-minute clash Saturday in the village of Balonai, Midsalip, Zamboanga del Sur. He said troops were conducting combat operations when they clashed with five NPA rebels. Murillo said the militants, who belong to the Section Committee-KARA of the Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee, fled in different directions leaving Macabinta behind.
[Mindanao Examiner] Ten Abu Sayyaf rebels have surrendered in the Basilan province and the military said they would be reintegrated into society as part of the government’s Balik-Loob program.

Quoting the rebels, military spokesman Gerry Besana said the Abu Sayyaf militants “finally decided to re-embrace Islam and ask forgiveness for all their wrong-doings upon hearing the encouragements (to surrender peacefully) from the Armed Forces of the Philippines and by President Rodrigo Duterte himself.”.
The military released the names of the other terrorists as Atotong Sarahadil, Mudzrie Salahudin Jabbon, Sapwan Kapitan Aliman, Nassir Jaid Tahil, Hair Tiglama Kawakibon, Adeh Kawakibon, Rubin Ikih, Aminin Baliyong and Suedin Muril.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist rebels launched a new assault on the besieged Shiite towns of al-Fou’aa and Kafraya in rural Idlib tonight, the National Defense Forces (NDF) reported.
According to the NDF, intense festivities broke-out at the eastern outskirts of Kafraya when the jihadist rebels, led by their Uzbeki imported muscle, attacked their positions from the Barouma Farms.
Thus far, the pro-government forces have managed to fend off the jihadist advances, but fierce festivities are still ongoing.
For the past four days, the jihadist rebels have launched repeated attacks on al-Fou’aa and Kafraya, prompting the Syrian and Russian air forces to remain active in the Idlib Governorate.
These attacks by the rebel forces is a clear violation of the Astana peace conference agreement, which called for all parties to adhere to a strict ceasefire in the Idlib Governorate.

[PRESSTV] A dozen civilians have bit the dust and several others sustained injuries when the US-led coalition purportedly fighting the ISISTakfiri ...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... terrorist group carried out a string of Arclight airstrikes against Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah.
Local sources, requesting anonymity, said the airborne assaults targeted residential buildings in Tal Shayr, which is located in the southeastern part of the province, causing the casualties, Syria’s state-run television network reported.
The development came only a day after at least 18 Iraqi refugees were killed when a US-led airstrike hit a school in Khuweibra village of Hasakah province.
The US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be ISIS targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.
The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of achieving its declared goal of destroying ISIS.
Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in two separate letters addressed to United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the rotating President of the UN Security Council Vasily Nebenzya on June 5, condemned the continuing attacks by the US-led coalition against innocent Syrians, and its assaults on the illusory sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the conflict-plagued Arab country.
