[Daily Caller] Police in Chechnya killed four Islamic militants Saturday when the group raided a Russian Orthodox church with guns, axes and Molotov cocktails.
Shots rang out during Saturday’s service and cries of "Allahu Akbar" could be heard as congregants scrambled to close and bolt the doors, Father Sergiy, the priest at Archangel Michael Church in Chechnya’s capital of Grozny, said, according to The Associated Press. The terrorists killed one congregant outside the church building, wounded another inside the church as they attempted to gain entry, and killed two officers when police arrived on the scene, according to The New York Times. Policemen gunned down all four attackers.
Ramzan Kadyrov, Chechneya’s leader, said the gunmen initially took hostages. He issued a statement condemning their attack and threatening anyone daring to carry out similar acts.
"I once again very seriously declare that you can try to commit any actions aimed at undermining the security of the residents of Grozny and other settlements," Kaydrov said, according to NYT. "But anyone who makes the first step along this path will be immediately destroyed."

A group of people, some armed with guns, shot into the air in the French city of Marseille and tried to corner officers who responded to the sound of gunfire on Monday evening, police officials said.
Christophe Reynaud of the Marseille police said one resident was hit in the head with a butt of a gun and slightly injured during the incident in the Busserine district on early Monday evening.
Reynaud ruled out terrorism as a motive and said the shooting probably was drug-related.
He said the group drove away and has not been apprehended.
[AnNahar] French police have locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! a man of Chechen origin who they said was exhibiting "strange" behavior and carrying electrical equipment that could be used to make an bomb.
The man was detained at the main railway station in the southern city of Marseilles after a member of the public reported he was acting bizarrely.
Police found suspicious electrical equipment on him and the man refused to give his name.
"What he had on him was not an bomb, it was not dangerous in itself, but it was electrical, electronic equipment that could be used to make an bomb," public prosecutor Xavier Tarabeux told AFP.
"We do not yet know his identity but this man says he is Chechen and speaks Russian," he added.
La Belle France has been on high alert after a Chechen-born Frenchie stabbed a man to death last week and maimed four others in an attack in Gay Paree that Sherlocks believe was terror-inspired.
It was just the latest in a line of jihadist attacks that have killed more than 240 people in the last three years.
Police and prosecutors said they were interrogating the man arrested in Marseilles to ascertain whether he was planning an attack.
However the city's mayor Jean-Claude Gaudin issued a statement saying an attack had been "foiled" and that the suspect had "obvious terrorist intentions."

[Ynet] A 20-year-old Paleostinian father of two from Gazoo set himself on fire Saturday night in the city's Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, all while cursing the strip's Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, rulers who he apparently blamed for his family's poverty and the dismal economic situation in Gazoo.
The young man, Fathi Harb, survived the self-immolation, and is currently in moderate condition.
Eye witnesses saw the man dousing himself in flammable liquid shouting "damn the government" before lighting himself up. Video footage of the incident shows the young man burning alive and screaming in agony with passersby rushing to put out the flames.
Fathi's family and associates emphasized that he does not suffer from mental illness, but noting he was distraught over his brother's injury in one of the "March of Return" demonstrations at the border with Israel, which are organized and promoted by Hamas.
An employee of the Paleostinian Authority in the Gazoo Strip whose salary has been withheld for several months set himself on fire Saturday night, and was moderately injured.
Fathi Walid Khareb, 22, whose wife is soon expected to give birth to their third child, was apparently despondent over his family’s poverty.

[Bangkok Post] A drone has been impounded from a civilian’s home in Yala province after it was believed to be linked with a grenade attack at a security post on Tuesday.
The unmanned aerial vehicle was confiscated from the house in Yaha district on Thursday afternoon. Authorities also found Koreeya Sadeeyamu inside the house. She was taken to the district police station for questioning. Flight data will be retrieved from the drone to determine whether it is connected with the attack and the house owner will be questioned.
The confiscation came after two M79 grenades were fired at a security post in Yaha district early Tuesday morning, wounding two military rangers on duty.
An unidentified group of people fired the grenades at the post, causing blasts that sent shrapnel flying, injuring the rangers. Mai Mana, who was stationed with three other rangers near the post, said he and the other rangers had spotted a drone being flown around the post at about 3am. It flew off when they pointed a flashlight at it, he said.
It was believed the drone was flying reconnaissance for the attack.
[Jpost] Amid scenes labeled "apocalyptic" and a "crime against humanity," the Syrian regime continued its offensive on Sunday to retake the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, a neighborhood in south Damascus.
Most of the area is held by Islamic State and tens of thousands of Palestinian residents fled years ago, but thousands remain under a brutal siege.
The scenes from Yarmouk on Sunday looked like Stalingrad in 1942 or Berlin in 1945, during the Second World War: bombed-out buildings as far as the eye can see; roads turned to rubble; alleyways turned into canyons of destruction, gutted, gray and slumping from air strikes. There doesn’t appear to be anything left of many city blocks that were once a thriving community, the home of more than 200,000 people in 2011 when the Syrian civil war broke out. Now only a few thousand remain. Those who do are reported to be starving under the regime’s siege.
Since the middle of May, the regime has focused its firepower on the stronghold. It signed agreements with the local rebels so it could focus on destroying ISIS in southern Damascus, in an area held for years by the extremists. With support from Russia, according to numerous online accounts, the regime has sent tanks and planes to root out what remains. Security council meeting in 5..4..3

[IsraelTimes] Pro-Assad forces deny any Iranians or Hezbollah members killed in Friday kabooms
At least 28 pro-government fighters have been killed in a string of blasts at a regime airbase in central Syria earlier this weekend, a monitor said Sunday as it upped the corpse count.
The deadly kabooms tore through weapons and fuel depots on Friday at a military airport in Syria’s Hama province, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"The toll has gone up to at least 28 regime forces and loyalist fighters, all Syrian," said the Britannia-based monitor, after initially reporting 11 killed.
It said the corpse count could rise as "dozens" are maimed and "some of them at death's door," it said.
Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said there may also be casualties from other nationalities, as fighters from regime backer Iran and the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah were deployed there.
But a joint operations room of Syria’s regional allies denied any of their forces had been killed in the kabooms.
"We have no military advisers in the Hama airbase. We have no depots and have not positioned forces from Iran or elsewhere at this airport," it said in a statement carried on Hezbollah’s War Media Channel.
Syrian state media reported the blasts at the time but did not provide any details, while the Observatory had said they were likely due to a technical malfunction.
A rebel group called Saraya al-Jihad took responsibility for the attack, but the claim could not be independently verified.
The Sky News Arabia outlet reported that the kabooms were caused by an attack on an advanced Iranian air defense system.
The blasts came soon after midday, as the region experienced a scorching heat wave. Almost all previous Israeli Arclight airstrikes on targets in Syria have been late at night or in the pre-dawn hours.
According to Sky News, the target of the strike was an Iranian Bavar 373 long-range missile defense system, a state-of-the-art model that was unveiled in 2016 and put into service in March 2017. Iranian officials compare the system to the Russian-made S-300 system, which is considered a powerful air defense platform.
Video footage from the scene, posted to social media, showed a huge cloud of smoke rising out of the military air field.
Israeli officials have repeatedly stated that the Jewish state will not accept Iranian entrenchment in Syria and is prepared to take military action in order to prevent it.
Last week, the Israeli army reportedly told senior ministers that it believes the current round of hostilities was over, but tensions in the north will persist, and that border incidents are still possible.

[ALMASDARNEWS] An ISIS-affiliate group in west Daraa countryside said it has thwarted an attack launched by rebel fighters, killing and wounding scores of the assailants.
Rebel fighters of the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... initiated an assault against Khalid Ibn al-Waleed Army in Adwan town located in the western countryside of Daraa province, with the aim to oust the ISIS-affiliated jihadists and take over the town.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the offensive went horribly wrong when the attackers were caught in a landmine field, which killed and injured most of them. The rest who managed to escaped came under a mortar attack.
At least 10 rebel fighters were reported dead in the failed attack.
The assault comes as part of a wider battle announced yesterday by FSA-linked groups with the objective to drive out ISIS snuffies from the areas they control in the western countryside of the province.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The French special forces have installed six artillery batteries in areas held by Kurdish militia near the Syrian-Iraqi border, the Anadolu news agency reported.
The batteries were installed north of the Baguz village in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor province, which is controlled by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), viewed by Ankara as an affiliate of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is outlawed in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... as a terrorist organization, according to the Ottoman Turkish news agency.
The news comes just days after a convoy of 20 vehicles carrying around 70 French servicemen was reportedly stopped in the Qamishli area of the northeastern Syrian province of Hasakah at a checkpoint manned by Syrian government troops on Thursday.
The YPG representatives arrived at the checkpoint and confirmed that the French convoy was heading for their areas. The government troops decided to release the French servicemen and let them proceed to the Kurdish-controlled areas.
In March, French President Emmanuel Macron promised support for the Syrian Kurdish units, which triggered sharp criticism from Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... , who accused Gay Paree of supporting terrorism.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist rebels launched a powerful assault on Aleppo city, tonight, targeting several neighborhoods under the control of the Syrian government.
According to a military report from this front, the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham fired at least three grad missiles at the al-Zahra’a Association Quarter in the northwestern part of the city.
The jihadist rebels would then launch a barrage of missiles and artillery shells towards more government-held districts in Aleppo, causing several kabooms that could be heard throughout the lovely provincial capital.
Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham launched these missiles and artillery shells from their positions in nearby Kafr Hamra, which is a large town located just northwest of Aleppo.
In retaliation for the HTS attack, the Syrian military fired a flurry of missiles towards Kafr Hamra; this assault would be amalgamated with several Arclight airstrikes from the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF).

[AAWSAT] The Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... has launched a new battle against Khalid ibn al-Walid Army that belongs to ISIS, south Syria.
El-Dorar al- Shamia said Saturday that the Free Syrian Army factions started a new battle in the purpose of kicking out Khalid ibn al-Walid Army from Yarmouk Basin. Fierce festivities took place between the two sides, coinciding with shelling on the group locations.
Free Syrian Army factions started a new battle in the purpose of kicking out Khalid ibn al-Walid Army from Yarmouk Basin. Fierce festivities took place between the two sides, coinciding with shelling on the group locations.
The southern front factions launched earlier several battles for the sake of restoring control over regions ruled by Khalid ibn al-Walid Army.
This army controls the majority of Yarmouk Basin towns, and has launched a sudden attack in February 2017 in which it took by force new towns, controlled earlier by the opposition factions.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the festivities were renewed in the western strip of Daraa countryside in which Yarmouk Basin and regions in the surrounding of Masakin Jalin witnessed a fire exchange between Islamic factions and fighters of Khalid ibn al-Walid Army.
These festivities coincide with continuous reinforcement by Khalid ibn al-Walid Army in regions ruled by it, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. It has been monitored that the army threw fliers in regions controlled by the Islamic fighters in western Daraa countryside.
Further, the Syrian regime forces and ISIS denied Saturday reaching an agreement by which ISIS evacuates Yarmouk Camp.
Russia Today reported from field sources that the festivities between the two sides stopped since 12 noon and until 5 in the morning. ISIS showed readiness to withdraw its members and families, a total of 17000.
ISIS announced that its members are still clashing with the regime forces, noting that the corpse count reached 900 since 28 days and 37 vehicles were destroyed.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.

trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
