[DAILYCALLER] A Florida man allegedly shouted "Allah Akbar" repeatedly as police incarcerated Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! him for shooting his wife, stabbing his two children, and setting his house ablaze.
Police arrested Ronnie Oneal, who identifies as a member of The Nation of Islam, at the house of his partner Kenyatta Barron, in Riverview, Fla., in response to a 911 call from Barron claiming that she had been shot, according to Tampa Bay Times.
Officers found Barron dying of a gunshot wound in the front yard of a neighboring house. Firefighters were responding to a fire set in Barron’s house and found Barron and Oneal’s 9-year-old son, Ronnie Oneal IV, alive but suffering from burns and stab wounds and the couple’s 11-year-old daughter dead from stab wounds.
"I was shocked," said Walter Ballard, a friend of Oneal who had seen him three days prior, according to Tampa Bay Times. "That’s the only thing that went through my mind: How could he do something like this?"
The dispatcher who answered Barron’s call allegedly said she could hear a male yelling "Allah Akbar" in the background, according to Fox13. Minutes after Barron’s call, Oneal called police, saying, "I’ve just been attacked by some white demons. Her name is Ke-Ke and she tried to kill me and I just killed her."
Police tried to help Barron where she lay, but soon forced their way into Barron’s home when they noticed the fire. Oneal walked out toward officers through the garage. Officers tasered Oneal and incapacitated him after he refused to comply with their orders to get on the ground.

The ballad of Ronnie Oneal,
A paddy, well, mad... but genteel:
He'll riddle his honey
And griddle poor sonny,
But seldom, inshallah, will squeal.
Oneal’s record with the Hillsborough County Sheriff includes a 2009 driving with a suspended license, and two misdemeanor pot possession charges, one in 2008 another in 2009. In 2007, he was charged with “conspiracy to traffic in cocaine.”
[RADIOSHABELLE] Somaliland opened on Monday a trade office in Dubai as the country works to boost its trade ties with the UAE.
The trade office will offer import and expert advice to help Somaliland companies in the UAE and will support investment between the African country and the UAE.
’The UAE is our main trading partner in the region, and this is an important landmark in our relationship ‐ one that has been in the making for some time now,’ said Somaliland’s President Muse Behi Abdi, who was speaking at a presser to announce the new office.
’Dubai is the main transit hub for goods destined to Somaliland, and with many of our traders based out of the city, it serves as our principal financial center for trading with the rest of the world.’
The President added that the trade office will promote already-growing trade ties between the two countries. He said bilateral trade stands at around $300 million to $400 million (Dh1.1 billion to Dh1.47 billion).
Abdi is currently in Dubai on an official visit, on which he has been accompanied by various ministers from Somaliland, to discuss strengthening cooperation with the UAE.

[Libya Observer] The Chief of the Defense and Security Backup Commission at the High Council of State (HCS) Belqasim Deberz, said the HCS rejects the meetings in Egypt between delegates of the Presidential Council headed by its chief of staff Abdelrahman al-Taweel and those of Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... ’s self-styled army headed by his chief of staff Abdelrazik al-Nathori.
"Those meetings in Cairo are illegal, besides Egypt is a part of the Libyan conflict and is absolutely not unbiased. It bombed Libyan cities before and backs up one party over the others." Deberz added.
He accused Fayez al-Sirraj of violating the Libyan Political Agreement by acting like a chief commander of the Libyan army, pointing out that the commander in chief is for all PC members not for the Head alone.
[All Africa] A coalition of nine bad boy groups in the Niger Delta, under the aegis of Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, has given President Muhammadu Buhari four-week ultimatum to reinstate sacked Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh (retd).
They threatened to resume fresh attacks on oil facilities across the region if Mr. President failed to reinstate the former Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta on the expiration of the ultimatum.
Leader, RNDA, 'General' Johnmark Ezonbi, who handed the threat, yesterday in a statement after an enlarged meeting of the bad boy groups in the creek of Bayelsa State, said it was obvious that the Federal Government was toying with the destiny of the Niger Delta region.
They alleged that nothing tangible had been recorded since the coming of the current All Progressives Congress-led government at the centre.
Ezonbi said, "I want to warn that any intruder into our planned action in four weeks' time if the Federal Government fails to reinstate Gen. Paul Boroh will be severely dealt with without mercy. Our attack will make security agencies in the creek very small.
"We are fully ready to take on anybody as we have the instrumentality of warfare that will make the biggest military might to marvel at our coordinated attacks.
"We are ready to dirty our rivers and creeks with our oil, it is better we spill it than allow government use it to develop other parts of the country.
"We are not unmindful of the roles played by self-styled leaders of the All Progressives Congress in the South-South region by sponsoring falsehood against the person and office of Boroh for his blunt refusal to grease their palms to the detriment of the Amnesty Programme meant strictly for ex-Lions of Islam and agitators.
"We have always known those leaders to be anti-Niger Delta since the coming on board of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government as the latter kicked against the establishment of the Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko."

[ARABNEWS] A US Senate vote against a resolution on Yemen’s civil war signaled that Washington would continue to back Arab coalition military operations there, former US officials told Arab News on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the Senate voted 55-44 to drop the resolution, which was aimed at halting US support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, saying that such backing was not authorized by Congress and had led to widespread suffering.
According to the former officials, the vote signaled that politicians are worried about Yemeni civilian deaths, but that Riyadh can expect continued US support with targeting and the midair refueling of its warplanes in Yemen.
"I don’t think the congressional action will change the degree of America’s involvement, if only because (US Defense Secretary) Jim Mattis will convince them in private not to," Dov Zakheim, a former Pentagon official, told Arab News.
"Ongoing resolutions such as this cannot entirely be ignored, and given the Crown prince’s inclination (to ultimately extricate Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... from the war), this is just another push in the same direction."
Nabeel Khoury, an Atlantic Council scholar and former State Department official, said the vote indicated concern among politicians about the war, but not that Congress was "forcing the hand of the administration" to halt military support in Yemen.
But politicians were likely to continue raising the issue and have indicated a "strong expression of sympathy with 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... and concern over the US involvement in that war," Khoury said.
The vote came on the same day that US President 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... met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016.... at the White House for talks about the Iran-backed 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 ... rebels fighting in Yemen and other regional security threats.
A White House statement said they "discussed the threat the Houthis pose to the region, assisted by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps." They also addressed the humanitarian crisis and the need for a political solution.

[ARABNEWS] Legal reforms, a revamp of government agencies, and a crackdown on medium and low-level corruption are all essential if reforms in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... are to succeed, a discussion panel of Saudi academics in Washington said.
The headline-grabbing anti-corruption drive that resulted in more than 200 princes, officials and businessmen being detained in Riyadh’s Ritz-Carlton hotel had helped to highlight the issue of graft in the Kingdom, but bigger problems remain to be tackled, according to the all-Saudi panel.
"The question is, is there the bureaucratic bandwidth to implement the changes in the time frame the government wants. That’s one of the biggest obstacles," said Mohammed Alyahya, a non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, and senior fellow at the Gulf Research Center.
"Let’s take the Ritz-Carlton crackdown for example. On paper that is an excellent initiative to prove that the government is very serious about fighting corruption. You can’t fight mid-level and lower-level corruption without fighting the top-level corruption," Alyahya said.
"But that is the easy part. The difficult part is putting the institutional mechanisms and oversight frameworks in place, so that you can fight the much more dispersed and voluminous lower-level and mid-level corruption, and that is what costs much more than this top-level stuff that has been caught," he said
The comments came during a panel debate at George Washington University in Washington on Tuesday, part of a series of events taking place in the US capital to coincide with the visit of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016.... The crown prince was at the White House earlier in the day for talks with US President 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... .

FLINT, MI - The 50-year-old man suspected of stabbing Officer Jeff Neville in June 2017 at Bishop International Airport in Flint is now charged with committing an international act of terror.
Amor M. Ftouhi
...the married father of three who worked and lived as a truck driver in Quebec before coming south to commit jihad, who is also listed in our archives as Amor Ftouhi...
a dual citizen of Canada and Tunisia, was charged in an indictment on Wednesday, March 21, with one count of committing an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries.
Ftouhi was previously indicted on one count of violence at an international airport and a charge of interference with airport security.
He faces the potential of a life sentence in prison.
[Cleveland.com] AKRON, Ohio -- An Ohio jury on Tuesday found a former FBI informant guilty of trying to create a terrorist cell in the U.S. to carry out attacks in the name of the Islamic State.
Erick Jamal Hendricks, of Charlotte, North Carolina, faces up to 30 years in federal prison following the jury's decision to convict him on charges of conspiracy and attempting to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization.
Hendricks, 37, was arrested in North Carolina in August 2016. Prosecutors said much of his activities took place online through Twitter and various encrypted chat apps, though the FBI tracked him in Baltimore as he met in person with someone he believed to be a recruit. In fact, the man was an FBI informant.
A large part of the government's case against Hendricks centered on his connection to one of two gunmen who opened fire at "The First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest" in Garland, Texas in May 2015. Elton Simpson and Nadir Hamid Soofi drove from Phoenix to Garland, which is outside Dallas. They wounded a security guard before a police officer and killed them.
Hendricks was not in Texas but was chatting with an undercover FBI agent before and after Simpson and Soofi opened fire. The agent testified that he was in Garland at the time and saw Simpson and Soofi open fire, but he was not aware of the pair's plan before it was executed.
Hendricks is not from Ohio and most of the criminal activity the federal government charged him with did not occur here. It was tried in Akron largely because Hendricks reached out to Sheffield Lake man Amir Al-Ghazi on social media in order to get him to recruit others.
Al-Ghazi, who is awaiting sentencing for buying an AK-47 in support of ISIS, testified against Hendricks.

Ima bet the MSM lede was "Jury finds Ohio man guilty of trying to create ISIS-inspired terrorist cell in U.S."
[Dhaka Tribune] A India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politician from Hojai, a district in the Indian state of Assam, Shiladitya Dev courted controversy yet again, calling the creation of Bangladesh a "great mistake" because of which Assam has been facing "Moslem influx" for decades and suggesting that India should have annexed the country after the 1971 liberation war, Times of India reported.
"Even as the erstwhile East Pakistain was liberated, a mistake committed by Indira Gandhi (then prime minister) and the then Congress government was not merging the newly-created Bangladesh with India. In fact, creation of Bangladesh was itself a great mistake. But that mistake could have been offset had Bangladesh been made a part of India," Dev told a local news channel in Assam on Monday.
When contacted by Times of India, Dev stood by his statements. Attributing the "change" in the state’s demographic profile to the "migration" of Moslems from the neighbouring country, Dev said such a situation would not have arisen had Bangladesh never been created.
On January 3, a Moslem organization in Assam lodged a report against Shiladitya Dev for saying the first draft of the state’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) contains the names of many illegal migrants colonists from Bangladesh.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraq categorically rejects any Ottoman Turkish military action on its soil, Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said Wednesday, hours after reports said Iraq approved operations by Ankara against separatist Kurds in its north.
A statement by the foreign minister’s website said Jaafari, meeting with Deputy Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister, Ahmet Yildiz, stressed that "Iraq rejects any military action on its soil by any neighboring country".
He added that "while we are anxious to maintain the depth of Iraqi-Ottoman Turkish relations, we categorically reject any breach of the Iraqi borders by Ottoman Turkish forces".
Meeting with Iraqi Justice Minister Haider al-Zamili in Baghdad, on Tuesday, Ottoman Turkish ambassador to Iraq, Fateh Yildiz, said Ankara started to launch military operations on its borders with Iraq "to purge the borders from terrorist pockets in collaboration with the Iraqi government", as quoted by a statement by the Iraqi justice ministry.
"The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... is prepared to cooperate with the Iraqi government in the field of counter-terrorism and entrenching the illusory sovereignty of both countries," the statement quoted Yildiz saying.
On his side, the Iraqi minister said "Iraq has shown good intentions in Ottoman Turkish demands related to the security on joint borders", adding that "the political and security situation requires new agreements".
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... said in a speech in Ankara on Monday his country would, at any time, launch operations in Iraq’s northern Sinjar region against Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a group designated by Ankara as a terrorist group for engaging in decades of armed confrontations with it.
Turkey has also been carrying out offensives since January against Kurdish factions in Afrin, northwest of Syria.
It has regularly conducted Arclight airstrikes against PKK locations in norther Iraq.

[ARABNEWS] Iraq has detained or imprisoned at least 19,000 people accused of connections to ISIS or other terror-related offenses, and sentenced more than 3,000 of them to death, according to an analysis by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
The mass incarceration and speed of guilty verdicts raise concerns over potential miscarriages of justice ‐ and worries that tossed in the calaboose Please don't kill me! murderous Moslems are recruiting within the general prison population to build new holy warrior networks.
The AP count is based partially on an analysis of a spreadsheet listing all 27,849 people imprisoned in Iraq as of late January, provided by an official who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Thousands more also are believed to be held in detention by other bodies, including the Federal Police, military intelligence and Kurdish forces. Those exact figures could not be immediately obtained.
The AP determined that 8,861 of the prisoners listed in the spreadsheet were convicted of terrorism-related charges since the beginning of 2013 ‐ arrests overwhelmingly likely to be linked to ISIS, according to an intelligence figure in Baghdad.
In addition, another 11,000 people currently are being detained by the intelligence branch of the Interior Ministry, undergoing interrogation or awaiting trial, a second intelligence official said. Both intelligence officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the press.
"There’s been great overcrowding ... Iraq needs a large number of Sherlocks and judges to resolve this issue," Fadhel al-Gharwari, a member of Iraqi’s parliament-appointed human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... commission, told the AP.
Al-Gharwari said many legal proceedings have been delayed because the country lacks the resources to respond to the spike in incarcerations.
Large numbers of Iraqis were detained during the 2000s, when the US and Iraqi governments were battling Sunni bad boys, including al-Qaeda, and Shiite militias. In 2007, at the height of the fighting, the US military held 25,000 detainees. The spreadsheet obtained by the AP showed that about 6,000 people locked away Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on terror charges before 2013 still are serving those sentences.
But the current wave of detentions has hit the Iraqi justice system much harder because past arrests were spread out over a much longer period and the largest numbers of detainees were held by the American military, with only a portion sent to Iraqi courts and the rest released.
Human Rights Watch warned in November that the broad use of terrorism laws meant those with minimal connections to ISIS are caught up in prosecutions alongside those behind the worst abuses. The group estimated a similar number of detainees and prisoners ‐ about 20,000 in all.

[ARABNEWS] 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... has threatened to clear faceless myrmidons from northern Iraq’s Sinjar mountains if Baghdad does not act on his warning that the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has set up a headquarters there.
Speaking on Monday, the president said: "We have told the central (Iraqi) government that the PKK is establishing a new headquarters in Sinjar.
"If you can deal with it, you handle it. But if you cannot, we will suddenly enter Sinjar one night and clear this region of terrorists."
Erdogan said he told Baghdad to deal with PKK camps and warned Sinjar may become a stronghold for the group. "If we are friends, you will make it easy for us," he said.
The PKK have waged a decades-long insurgency against the Ottoman Turkish state and are considered a terrorist organization by Ankara, Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and the US.
For the past few months, Ottoman Turkish and Iraqi officials have engaged in high-level political and military talks to discuss potential joint action against the PKK in Sinjar along the Iraqi-Syrian border.
Ankara has justified its previous operations against PKK hideouts in Iraq using Article 51 of the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... Charter on a country’s right to self-defense against armed attack.
Sinjar is strategically important because it unites the Kurdish areas in Syria to Iraq. The Syrian town of Afrin was captured by Ottoman Turkish troops on Sunday in what it called Operation Olive Branch. Erdogan said Ottoman Turkish forces and allied Syrian forces would press eastwards to Kobani, Manbij and Sinjar.
Some analysts interpreted Erdogan’s threat against Sinjar as a means of putting pressure on Washington, which partnered with Syrian Kurdish fighters against ISIS. Thousands have fled Afrin and the US State Department has declared itself "deeply concerned" about the humanitarian situation there.
Sinjar, 100 km west of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , is one of the disputed areas claimed by both the Baghdad central government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Although Baghdad fiercely opposes it, Kurds would like to incorporate this region into their autonomous territories.

[ARABNEWS] Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", on Wednesday named a runaway suspect in a kaboom on Paleostinian prime minister Rami Hamdallah, two days after the movement itself was accused of the Gazoo attack.
Hamdallah was unhurt by the roadside blast that struck his convoy on March 13, in what Paleostinian officials have called an liquidation attempt as he entered the Hamas-run strip on a rare visit.
The interior ministry in Gazoo on Wednesday said it was searching for Anas abu Koussa, born in 1993, describing him as the lead suspect.
It did not give a possible motive for the attack on Hamdallah, head of government in president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ’s Paleostinian Authority.
A Hamas security source said Sherlocks had placed in durance vile Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! and were questioning three people, including two members of the PA-run intelligence services.
Another security source said he believed radical Salafist Moslems had planted the bomb, which lightly injured six people.

[Ynet] US-based Institute for Science and International Security determines commercial satellite imagery can't be used to confirm 2015 Der Spiegel report of underground reactor or uranium enrichment facility, but notes 'some imagery observations are consistent with Der Spiegel’s reporting.'
Syria may have built an underground nuclear reactor, according to a report released Wednesday by the US-based Institute for Science and International Security.
The institute has decided to revisit a January 2015 report in the German weekly magazine Der Spiegel, according to which Syria has built an underground nuclear reactor or uranium enrichment facility.
The institute determined the report cannot be confirmed based on commercial satellite imagery.
"While (the facility) could hold nuclear or nuclear-related materials and equipment, it could also serve other military purposes. A nuclear reactor located fully underground is not impossible, but it poses a huge engineering challenge and would likely require secret, on-going assistance from North Korea," the institute concluded.
The institute noted, however, that "some imagery observations are consistent with Der Spiegel’s reporting."
The institute called on the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to hold an inspection at the facility, located in Qusayr.
"Although we fully understand the limitations and risks of the following approach, we believe that this site warrants inspection by the IAEA, even though accomplishing such inspections may have to wait until the Syrian conflict ends," the institute wrote in its report.
Commenting on Israel's decision to confirm it had destroyed the Syrian nuclear reactor in Al Kibar, the insitute said that "Israel's action serves to highlight once again the lack of accounting for Syria's past nuclear weapons program and the location of any assets remaining from that program. This includes possibly tens of metric tons of uranium fuel, and other equipment or materials associated with nuclear fuel fabrication and plutonium separation, that likely existed as key elements of the Al Kibar reactor project."
The Institute for Science and International Security also raised concerns over the North Korean involvement in the Al Kibar reactor, which has been exposed by Israel in previously classified cockpit footage, photographs and intelligence documents it released about the strike.
The institute also called on the United States and its allies to bring up Pyongyang's involvement in the Syrian nuclear program during the planned talks between US President 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... and North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... "The United States and its negotiating partners must keep in mind that any negotiation should include the achievement of verifiable commitments by North Korea not to undertake nuclear, chemical, or biological proliferation and not to spread the means to deliver them. It should also include longer term commitments by North Korea to explain and resolve the nature and extent of its nuclear cooperation with Syria and any other countries," the institute wrote.

would likely require secret, on-going assistance from North Korea,
#3
I can't imagine they can keep the location secret, if there is one. Nor protect it from attack from Israel (or now, the US) - especially in the current chaotic environment. (It would be interesting to see if anyone has developed an idea I had for a deep-penetrating bomb...)

Iranian contingency facility, back-up plan against strikes in Iran? It doesn't seem reasonable that Syria could afford any active nuclear program considering all of the other things going on. It would make more sense to send their experts to a friendly nuclear power such as, hypothetically, North Korea as interns in the interim...
[PRESSTV] Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution ...Iran's doddering head theocrat... Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ...the successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the actual dictator of Iran... says the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran has well managed to defuse a plot by the United States to spread terrorism and cause rifts in the Middle East region to avert attention from the Zionist regime of Israel.
"The United States created terrorist groups like ISIS in the region in a bid to distract public attention from the Zionist regime. The United States either does not want or cannot ensure security in the Middle East," the Leader said in an address to a huge gathering of pilgrims in the holy Iranian city of Mashhad on Wednesday on the first day of the Persian New Year.
Ayatollah Khamenei went on to say that Western countries have failed to establish security and stability in Afghanistan, stressing that Tehran has offered assistance to regional countries based on good faith.
The Leader pointed out that Iran has managed to cleanse many parts of the Middle East from the presence of terrorists.
"Iran has never sought to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries," he stated.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
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.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy.
