[Garowe] A man who was convicted of smuggling a laptop bomb into a plane in Somalia has died in prison, authorities confirmed, over five years since his trial and subsequent conviction which remains one of the most successful terrorism trials in the country.
Abdiweli Mohammed Maow, the former head of Mogadishu airport security, died on Friday, becoming one of the very many prisoners who have died in jail within the Horn of Africa nation. Details about his illness still remain scanty due to strict protocols.
The man, who was convicted for helping to smuggle a laptop bomb onto Daallo airlines has died in hospital after illness according to government reports. The court had termed him a dangerous "terrorist" with the capacity to destroy many lives within the country.
Maow was serving life for his role in the failed attempt ...Curses! Foiled again!... to bring down the plane in February 2016, further reports indicate. His death comes amid surging al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... attacks within the Horn of Africa nation which is struggling with instability.
In recent weeks, al-Shabaab Death Eaters have been targeting security forces within the country, killing a number of them in the process. For instance, the Death Eaters raided a Burundian AU forces base in Central Somalia, killing at least dozens of soldiers in the process.
Elsewhere, one of Somalia’s greatest scholars Sheikh Ali Warsame has passed away according to reports. Sheikh Ali was a well-known Salafi scholar and the first leader of al-Ittihad al-Islam, a jihadi organization formed in the early 1980s which essentially paved way for the emergence of al-Shabaab.
Al-Shabaab has been the most dominant al-Qaeda associate within Africa and one of the most well-funded outfits according to State Department. The US has been working closely with authorities in Somalia to degrade the group, which controls large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia.

[KavkazUzel] Two adults and nine children, including two sisters who lost their parents, have been returned to their homeland from a refugee camp in the Syrian city of Jerablus,
...a city in Aleppo Governorate near the border of Turkey and under the control of Turkey’s Syrian National Army sock puppets after they drove out ISIS. This suggests any prisoners they hold in quantity are likely ISIS...
the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said today.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the Azerbaijani authorities periodically report on the return of natives of the country from the countries of the Middle East. From 2018 to the end of 2020, 248 children were returned from Iraq. In 2021, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported on the return of children from Iraq, Syria and Turkey. On November 24, 2021, the Azerbaijani authorities returned to their homeland 12 natives of the country who were kept in the Amerna camp in the city of Jerablus in Syria. On March 31, seven Azerbaijani citizens were repatriated from the same camp. On May 25, two children who were kept in a correctional facility in Iraq arrived from Baghdad, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told in the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. The total number of Azerbaijani citizens repatriated from Iraq has reached 290 .
The return of 11 Azerbaijani citizens from Syria to their homeland was reported today by the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. "On May 25-28, 2022, 11 citizens of Azerbaijan were repatriated, including nine children and two women who were held in the Amerna camp in the city of Jerablus," the ministry's press release, translated into Russian by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent, says. Among the repatriates are two sisters, six and nine years old, who lost both parents, the ministry said in a statement.
According to the ministry, first of all, the location, identity and belonging of the repatriated to the citizenship of Azerbaijan were determined. Then they were sent to Turkey, where Azerbaijani specialists conducted a preliminary medical and psychological examination and provided them with the necessary assistance. After that, the Azerbaijani embassy in Turkey provided the repatriates with a "certificate of return" and air tickets. On May 28, they flew to Azerbaijan by Ankara-Baku flight, the press release says.
All those who returned to their homeland upon completion of the paperwork will be transferred to their families or guardians. The Azerbaijani government intends to take all necessary measures for the reintegration and rehabilitation of repatriates, the ministry said.
[IsraelTimes] Fusako Shigenobu, draped in keffiyah, apologizes for hurting innocents; 3 Japanese Red Army members recruited by Paleostinian terrorists, killed 8 Israelis, 16 tourists
Fusako Shigenobu, who co-founded the terrorist group Japanese Red Army,
...their stated goal was to overthrow the Japanese government and monarchy and help foment world revolution, which has nothing to do with killing Jews for “Palestine”. But like Antifa, which is currently harassing anti-abortion protestors, among other side projects while the main objective is on hiatus, two generations ago violent Communists happily loaned out personnel for the world revolution projects of other Communist groups...
released from prison Saturday after serving a 20-year sentence, and apologized for hurting innocent people.
She was freed just two days before the 50th anniversary of the terror group’s deadly attack at Lod Airport that killed 26 people and injured dozens of others.
Her husband was caught in the crossfire that day, which he totally deserved. So did she...
"I feel strongly that I have finally come out alive," she said, welcomed by her daughter and a crowd of news hounds and supporters in Tokyo, some waving Paleostinian flags.
"I have hurt innocent people I did not know by putting our struggles first. Although those were different times, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize deeply," said Shigenobu, who was draped in a keffiyeh — the Arab headdress which has become a symbol of Paleostinian nationalism.
Shigenobu was convicted of criminal masterminding the 1974 siege of the French Embassy in the Hague, the Netherlands. She was arrested in 2000 in Osaka in central Japan, where she had been in hiding.
The Japanese Red Army, formed in 1971 and linked with Paleostinian terror groups,
...specifically the hard left Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine...
was behind a 1972 machine-gun and grenade attack on the Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.
Three members of the Japanese Red Army recruited by a Paleostinian terrorist group, opened fire and threw grenades at Lod Airport, killing eight Israelis and 16 foreign tourists.
The Japanese Red Army also took responsibility for several other attacks including the takeover of the US Consulate in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1975.
Shigenobu was not physically present in the attacks. A year after her arrest, she declared the group dissolved. Japanese media reports said Shigenobu had undergone surgery for cancer during her incarceration.
Kozo Okamoto, who was injured and arrested in the Israeli airport attack, was released in 1985 in a prisoner exchange between Israeli and Paleostinian forces. He is reportedly in Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The land area formerly occupied by the state of Lebanon, before that Phoenicia... Okamoto and several other members of the group are still wanted by Japanese authorities for their alleged role in attacks in the 1970s and 1980s, including the terror assault on the airport in Israel.

Okamoto and several other members of the group are still wanted by Japanese authorities for their alleged role in attacks in the 1970s and 1980s, including the terror assault on the airport in Israel....
...for failure to follow the culturally demanded practice of ritual seppuku?

My initial thought would be for Israel to 'unleash' MOSSAD to do a snatch n' grab to bring her back to continue her life sentence, but this incident will most likely be swept quickly under the rug. Israel will want Japan's backing when they move against Iran. Japan will want Israel's backing when China moves against Taiwan. Why ruffle feathers!

Gave the cook the nite off. Went up to the corner to get some Meex. 6 young to middle age here on the patio with me, the old guy. None of them completes a thought or sentence without using the word......"LIKE".
BLUF: There are enough Kurdish citizens in this German state to swing an election.
[Rudaw] A Kurdish MP from the Christian Democratic Party (CDP) in Germany has pledged to tackle issues facing her state of Schleswig-Holstein after recently emerging victorious in the state's parliamentary elections, she told Rudaw on Friday.
Seyran Papo won by a landslide over the leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the northernmost German state of Schleswig-Holstein, attributing her victory to the Kurds residing in the state who showed her great support.
"The Kurds living in Schleswig-Holstein supported me a lot," she told Rudaw's Hemen Abdulla, saying "the CDU has improved its policy towards foreigners in Schleswig-Holstein," and called on Kurds living in the state to seek membership in the party, which she claims was the only party that supported Kurds during their years-long struggle against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS).
Papo stressed the need for development in her state's capital of Kiel and admits the city has problems with regard to access to housing and lack of women's employment. She explained that during the election cycle, she went "from house to house wanting to know the details of the people's problems."
Kurdish support for Papo in Schleswig-Holstein played a pivotal role in securing her a victory over the SPD's leader, she claims, expressing her gratitude towards those who voted for her. According to the MP, her contestant for the seat had "a lot of voters and he even had a lot of support in Berlin," yet she overcame him.
A classified military document issued by Baghdad's Operations Command warned of an attack that might target the ultra-secure Green Zone downtown Iraq's capital city, Baghdad.
Addressing the advanced headquarters of Baghdad's Operations Command in al-Karkh and al-Rusafa and the Commandos Brigade, the classified document obtained by Shafaq News Agency said that the Green Zone or Baghdad's International Airport might be a target of "indirect fires or drone attack on the evening of Saturday or Sunday."
That sounds like one of Iran’s Shiite catspaws is getting feisty, no doubt in response to the assassination of that Quds Force officer or the engineer killed in Parchin, both reportedly the work of Israel. But it’s American troops who are their usual target at the airport — the Israelis are beyond their reach back home.
The Baghdad Operations Command instructed the recipients to deploy undercover agents and field patrols in the vicinity of the potential targets.

[Jpost] Part of Chariots of Fire, troops from IAF, Navy and elite commando units will simulate war deep inside Lebanon.
SHARED INTERESTS
Israel and Cyprus and neighboring Greece are close allies and share a number of strategic interests. While all three have shared economic interests, such as the ambitious project to build an undersea gas pipeline from Israel to Cyprus to Crete to mainland Greece, the countries also hope to keep the Russian-Iranian-Hezbollah axis from growing.
In light of new rapprochement between Israel and Turkey, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu reportedly sought an explanation for the drill during his recent visit to Israel. According to KAN public broadcaster, Jerusalem informed Ankara that the massive training exercise in Cyprus was related solely to military training.
Turkish troops invaded and occupied the northern part of Cyprus in 1974 and tensions between Larnaca and Ankara remain tense.
[IsraelTimes] 8 rockets test-fired from Gazoo into the sea; Israeli air defenses still bolstered, but IDF officials tell southern community leaders no escalation expected from Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,-run enclave
Paleostinian terror group Hamas and other terror factions based in the Paleostinian enclave are reportedly at odds over how to respond to the annual Jerusalem Day flag march through the Moslem Quarter Sunday.
According to a Channel 12 report on Saturday night, citing Paleostinian sources, Hamas is against launching rockets at Israel in response to the religious-nationalist march, while Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

[IsraelTimes] Network says it formed international legal team to prepare a case dossier for The Hague, which is already probing Israel for alleged war crimes, though Jerusalem isn’t cooperating.
The Al Jazeera news network said Thursday that it would submit a case file to the International Criminal Court on the death of news houndShireen Abu Akleh.
The Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... -based network and the Paleostinian Authority have accused Israeli soldiers of deliberately killing her. Israel rejects those allegations as a "blatant lie." It says she was shot during a firefight between soldiers and Paleostinian terrorists, and that only ballistic analysis of the bullet — which is held by the PA — can determine who fired the fatal shot.
An AP reconstruction lent support to witnesses who say the veteran Paleostinian-American correspondent was killed by Israeli fire, but any final conclusion may depend on evidence that has not yet been released.
Al Jazeera said it has formed an international legal team to prepare a case dossier to be submitted to the ICC. The court launched an investigation into possible Israeli war crimes last year. Israel is not a member of the ICC and has rejected the probe as biased against it.
Al Jazeera said the case file would also include the Israeli bombing of the building housing its offices in 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... City during last year’s war between Israel and the Paleostinian terror group Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, "as well as the continuous incitements and attacks on its journalists operating in the occupied Paleostinian territories."
Israel said the building — which also housed the Gaza office of The News Agency that Dare Not be Named — contained Hamas military infrastructure but has not provided any evidence. The AP was not aware of any purported Hamas presence in the building and condemned the strike as "shocking and horrifying." No one was hurt in the strike, which came after an Israeli warning to evacuate.
"The network vows to follow every path to achieve justice for Shireen, and ensure those responsible for her killing are brought to justice and held accountable in all international justice and legal platforms and courts," Al Jazeera said.
Israel says it cannot determine whether Paleostinian button men or its own soldiers fired the fatal shot unless the PA hands over the bullet that killed Abu Akleh for ballistic analysis. The PA has refused to cooperate with Israel in any way, saying it doesn’t trust Israel to investigate itself.
The Iranian army has given some details - but not the exact location - of an underground base for its military drones, state media reported on Saturday, amid simmering tensions in the Gulf.
State TV said 100 drones were being kept in the heart of the Zagros mountains, including Ababil-5, which it said were fitted with Qaem-9 missiles, an Iranian-made version of air-to-surface U.S. Hellfire.
“No doubt the drones of Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces are the region’s most powerful,” army commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said. “Our capability to upgrade drones is unstoppable,” he added.
The Iranian state TV correspondent said he had made the 45-minute helicopter flight on Thursday from Kermanshah in western Iran to a secret underground drone site. He was allowed to take blindfolds off only upon arrival at the base, he said.
TV footage showed rows of drones fitted with missiles in a tunnel, which it said was several hundred metres underground.
The TV report came a day after Iranian Revolutionary Guards seized two Greek tankers in the Gulf, in apparent retaliation for the confiscation of Iranian oil by the United States from a tanker held off the Greek coast.
Greek authorities last month impounded the Iranian-flagged Pegas, with 19 Russian crew members on board, due to European Union sanctions. The United States later confiscated the Iranian oil cargo held onboard and plans to send it to the United States on another vessel.
The Pegas was later released, but the seizure inflamed tensions at a delicate time, with Iran and world powers seeking to revive a nuclear deal that former U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned, reimposing sanctions on Tehran.
The semi-official Mehr news agency said a cruise missile — named Heidar-1 — was also unveiled by the army. The agency said it was the first cruise missile capable of being fired from a drone.
Iranian state television said the tunnel was some 100 meters (330 feet) underground and was home to the Kaman-22 and Fotros drones, both capable of carrying cruise missiles.
Iran started developing drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in the 1980s during its eight-year war with Iraq.
The US and Israel accuse Iran of dispatching fleets of drones to its proxies in the Middle East, including Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, the regime of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and Yemen's Huthi rebels.
Video aired on state television showed Iran's armed forces chief of staff General Mohammad Bagheri and army commander Abdolrahim Mousavi visiting the underground site.
"More than 100 combat, reconnaissance and attack drones belonging to the army are kept for operations in this base located in the heart of the Zagros mountains," the report said.
State TV said the flagship of the fleet was the "Kaman-22", a drone equipped with missiles and able to fly at least 2,000 kilometers (1,245 miles).
The US Treasury slapped sanctions on the drone programme of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in October last year. It accused the Guards of being behind a September 2019 drone strike on a Saudi oil refinery, as well as a July 2021 drone attack on a commercial ship off the coast of Oman that killed two crewmen. Iran denied the charges.

A US State Department spokesman told North Press on Friday that any potential Turkish invasion of the Syrian north puts at risk US forces and the coalition’s campaign against ISIS.
The official said that the US condemns any potential escalation in north Syria expressing his country’s deep concern of the serious consequences of the Turkish threats against the region.
He stressed, “It is crucial for all sides to maintain and respect ceasefire zones to enhance stability in Syria and work toward a political solution to the conflict.”
“We expect Turkey to live up to the October 17, 2019, Joint Statement, including to halt offensive operations in northeast Syria,” he noted.
Following Turkish invasion of the two cities of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) and Tel Abyad in October 2019, Turkey signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US stipulating ceasing all hostilities and the withdrawal of the SDF 32 km away from the Turkish border.
The SDF did withdrew from the border areas according to the agreement, but Turkey continues targeting the area before the eyes of Russian and the US which are the guarantors of the agreement.
The US State Department spokesman said, “the US is deeply concerned about discussions of potential increased military activity in northern Syria, and in particular its impact on the civilian population.”
“Any new offensive would further undermine regional stability and put at risk US forces and the coalition’s campaign against ISIS,” he noted.
Speaking of the military campaigns against the Islamic State Organization (ISIS), he said, “The group [ISIS] retains a significant clandestine presence throughout the country and carries out a campaign of small-scale extortion, recruitment, and assassinations to sustain itself and maintain its notoriety.”
It has also mounted persistent efforts to break ISIS fighters out of detention facilities to bolster its ranks and free individuals with particular operational skills, according to the official.
On January 20, ISIS sleeper cells carried out a series of attacks on al-Sina’a prison in Hasakah, northeast Syria, where thousands of ISIS members are detained, to break their ISIS inmates’ fellows out of the prison, as part of them managed to escape and hid within the residential areas surrounding the prison.
He indicated that “Without the continued operations of the Coalition and the SDF, the group could reconstitute and directly threaten the United States and our partners again.”
A military official for Combined Joint Task Force – Inherent Resolve (CJTFOIR) told North Press, “Our partners in Syria have shown great dedication and commitment to defeating Daesh.”
The official stressed that the SDF launches complex operations against ISIS in order to provide and guarantee security and safety of civilians in the region.
Though ISIS is “militarily defeated and unable to hold territory, their ideology and tactics still pose a threat,” the source added.
As a result, “the Coalition continues to work with our Partner Forces to ensure they can maintain Daesh’s enduring defeat,” the source stressed.

[IsraelTimes] Angry crowd chants ’Our enemy is here; they lie that it is America’; authorities fire shots in the air, tear gas at protesters
Iranian riot police fired tear gas and shot into the air to disperse an angry crowd of hundreds of people near the site of a building collapse in the southwestern city of Abadan, an online video analyzed Saturday showed.
One report by Iran’s semiofficial Fars news agency also acknowledged the unrest late Friday over the disaster this week that killed at least 29 people, with more feared still buried under the rubble of the 10-story building. This comes as Iran ...The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both... suffers worsening economic conditions under crushing US sanctions over its nuclear program, fueling concern in the Islamic Theocratic Republic of renewed, widespread unrest.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe.
The window was looking better all the time.... the country faced both assassinations and other violence this week into Saturday, even as its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard seized two Greek oil tankers apparently over Athens allowing America to impound Iranian oil in the Mediterranean Sea.
Videos shared online showed a massive crowd of hundreds near the Metropol Building on Friday night, with lights shining on its facade. A second video showed demonstrators at street level chanting: "Our enemy is here; they lie that it is America!" A third showed an angry crowd with one shot heard. The person filming turned and ran, shouting: "Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!"
The details in the videos corresponded with each other and to known features of Abadan, some 660 kilometers (410 miles) southwest of the capital, Tehran. Foreign-based Farsi-language television channels described tear gas and other shots being fired.
Fars described the situation as a riot that forced police to intervene. It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone was injured or if police made any arrests.
In other cities people gathered peacefully to mourn, Fars and human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... activists reported. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... angry crowds have been gathering in Abadan since Iran on Thursday held a 100,000-person rally to mark the release of a new state-backed pop song called "Hello Commander."
On Friday, protesters in Abadan shouted: "In Tehran, there is wedding; Abadan is bleeding!"
Authorities acknowledge the building’s owner and corrupt government officials allowed construction to continue at the Metropol Building despite concerns over its shoddy workmanship. The building collapsed on Monday. Authorities have arrested 13 people as part of a broad investigation into the disaster, including the city’s mayor.
Rescue teams pulled three more bodies from the rubble on Saturday, bringing the corpse count in the collapse to 29.
The deadly collapse has raised questions about the safety of similar buildings in the country and underscored an ongoing crisis in Iranian construction projects. The collapse reminded many of the 2017 fire and collapse of the iconic Plasco building in Tehran that killed 26 people.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe.
The window was looking better all the time.... violence continued elsewhere in the country. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency said button men shot and maimed two coppers and a civilian Saturday in downtown Tehran. It said one officer was at death's door. Authorities offered no cause.
Separately, the semiofficial ISNA news agency said a gunman shot and killed a police brass hat, Maj. Abbas Raah Anjam, in Iran’s restive Sistan and Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... province. The attack also maimed his wife, ISNA said.
Gun violence is rare in Iran, where tight controls govern who can own a firearm.
[AnNahar] Gunmen rubbed out a policeman and maimed his wife in Iran's restive southeastern province of Sistan-Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , state media reported Saturday.
"Last night... police captain Abbas Rahanjam was martyred and his wife was maimed," after they were shot by armed assailants, Khodabakhsh Pakirshahi, a deputy governor of the province's Delgan county was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.
The shooting took place on the road from Delgan to Iranshahr city, the official said, adding that the captain's wife was transferred to hospital for treatment.
Assailants "using Kalashnikov rifles", fired at the police officer's car, and "bravely ran away from the scene," said provincial police chief Ahmad Taheri, according to the ISNA news agency.
"Police investigations have been launched to identify and arrest the on-the-run perpetrators" he added.
The province, bordering Pakistain and Afghanistan, is often hit by attacks or festivities between security forces and gangs, generally involving smuggling gangs as well as separatists or turban groups.
