India-Pakistan
TTP member involved in kidnap, murder cases held in Gujrat
From two days ago, before things got more interesting than usual in that part of Pakistan.
[Dawn] The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) claims to have arrested a proclaimed offender belonging to the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Pakistain (TTP) wanted in three cases of kidnap for ransom and murder of a doctor.

A front man for CTD said the law enforcers had arrested Malik Zahid who kidnapped and killed people in Lalamusa. Zahid of Gujrat belongs to TTP’s Asmatullah Muawiyah Group
...they’re the Punjabi Talibs...
and he, along with other members of his group, was carrying out terrorist activities.

He said the suspects kidnapped Dr Naqi Hussain Shah, a resident of Hirapur area in the Lalamusa Saddar police precinct, when he was on his way to the clinic from his house in 2009 and kept him in jug for eight to 10 days.

The suspects demanded ransom from Shah’s family and later killed him. Police started the paperwork but haven't done much else under sections 302/365 A /201 of PPC.

The same year, this terrorist group kidnapped Mubarak Ahmad Bajwa in Toba Tek Singh for ransom and brought him to Gujrat and killed him.

In 2011, the criminal, along with his accomplices, kidnapped Afaq Ahmed, 10, and his driver Mian Jamshed for ransom in Mauza Khokhar Gharbi. They left the hostages when their car rolled upside down on the way and fled. The Kunjah police started the paperwork but haven't done much else.

The suspect was declared a proclaimed offender in the three cases registered against him and fled to Dubai from where he returned after 11 years and went into hiding. The IGP handed over the investigation of the cases to the CTD which arrested Zahid.

#1  Why aren't we giving the Peshmerga Javelins and Howitzers like we're giving to Ukraine? Or are we, honest question.

#2  We‘re working with the SDF in Syria, jpal. I believe Germany, among others, is supplying and training the Peshmerga. Iraq voted to make us leave, recall, and so we mostly did.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF: 2 Gazans armed with grenades, knife captured along border
[IsraelTimes] Military says suspects taken for questioning after being detained by troops, doesn’t specify whether they had crossed border

Israeli troops detained two Paleostinians attempting to cross into Israel from the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip early Friday morning, the military said.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the pair were found with two grenades and a knife when they were captured near the southern section of the border.

The military did not clarify whether the suspects had successfully passed through the fence when they were captured.

The two were later taken for questioning.

In March, three Paleostinians carrying knives, bottles of gasoline and lighters, were captured by troops after attempting to cross the border.

Israel has a high-tech series of fences and walls guarding its frontier with Gaza, both above and below ground, but a number of gaps remain in the steel fencing surrounding the Strip.

These gaps have been used by Paleostinians in Gaza to illegally enter Israeli territory, often with hopes of fleeing the beleaguered enclave.

While attacks on Israeli civilians by those infiltrating from Gaza are rare, a Paleostinian man crossed into Israel last May while armed with several knives and attacked a security guard some five kilometers from the border fence, lightly hurting him. The suspect, who was shot and maimed by another guard, has been indicted over the attack.

East Jerusalem man accused of planning to launch fireworks at light rail
[IsraelTimes] Police say suspect, a member of an unspecified terror group, tossed pipe bomb at a cop a year ago.

A 25-year-old man from East Jerusalem has been arrested for allegedly planning to attack trains running through the city, police said Thursday.

In a statement, police and the Shin Bet security service said the man planned to launch fireworks at the city’s light rail, as well as bring fireworks into the flashpoint Temple Mount compound to be used during violent mostly peaceful festivities with security forces there.

The statement described him as a member of an unspecified terror organization.

The investigation also found that the suspect was involved in making explosives and hurling a pipe bomb at police last year.

Police said an indictment was expected when the investigation concludes.

Paleostinian rioters regularly use fireworks and firecrackers during festivities with police in East Jerusalem, aiming the explosive charges at buildings or people, and using the loud noises and bright flashes to disorient the Israeli gendarmes.

Last month saw days of rioting at the Temple Mount, which Moslems call the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, raising tensions in the city which have yet to fully subside.

On Wednesday, police announced that cops in Jerusalem and other areas of the country were being put on high alert ahead of a nationalist march planned for Sunday in the Old City.

Officials fear a repeat of violence surrounding the yearly Jerusalem Day Flag March, which generally attracts thousands of nationalists who march to the Western Wall through the Old City’s Moslem Quarter to mark the anniversary of the city’s unification in 1967.

Last year, Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, shot rockets at Jerusalem during the parade, sparking 11 days of war, and Gazook terror groups have threatened to take action again in response to "provocations."

Some 3,000 police will guard the march, while thousands more will be deployed around the city and other locations across the country.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard seizes two Greek oil tankers in Persian Gulf
[IsraelTimes] Helicopter-launched raids mark the first such incident in months, as tensions rise amid the West’s lagging nuclear talks with the regime; Greece calls incident ’piracy’

Iran’s paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized two Greek oil tankers Friday in helicopter-launched raids in the Persian Gulf, officials said. The action appeared to be retaliation for Athens’ assistance in the US seizure of crude oil from an Iranian-flagged tanker this week in the Mediterranean Sea due to violating Washington’s crushing sanctions on the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

The raid marks the first major incident at sea in months as tensions remain high between Iran

#1  We will be back to escorting tankers again. It is boring, dangerous and the liberty ports are bottom shelf.
