Taliban Attack On Nangarhar's Shirzad District Foiled
[ToloNews] At least 27 Taliban
...Arabic for students...
fighters were killed after they attempted an attack on Shirzad district in the eastern Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province on Friday evening, the provincial governor's office said in a statement on Saturday.
The holy warriors had launched the attack near the district governor's office but were "pushed back and defeated," the statement clarified.

The attack started with two boom-mobile kabooms and was followed by shootout, the statement added.

The statement said that 32 other holy warriors were maimed in the attack.

Two security forces bit the dust and eight others were maimed in the attack, the statement said.

Nangarhar Governor Shah Mahmood Miakhel praised security forces "bravery and high morale" in foiling the Taliban attack.

Miakhel said that in order to prevent civilian casualties they did not conduct Arclight airstrike and missile attack, but reinforcements were sent to the area when the attack started.

Taliban grabbed credit for the attack.

This comes after the Taliban announced their spring offensive on Friday morning which is entitled Operation al-Fatha - which means "victory" in Arabic. The group said in a statement that the offensive will be conducted across Afghanistan with the aim of "eradicating occupation" and "cleansing our Moslem homeland from invasion and corruption".

The announcement was widely condemned by the Afghan government, the United States and Afghan politicians.

Fighting across Afghanistan as Taliban opens offensive before talks
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
forces attacked the northern Afghan city of Kunduz on Saturday, a day after the launch of their annual spring offensive, as fighting intensified across the country ahead of the next round of peace talks with US representatives.

Heavy fighting
... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy...
has been going on for weeks but the announcement of the spring offensive while peace talks were due was a blow to any hopes of a quick agreement and was criticized as "reckless" by US special peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.

Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement the movement was committed to the grinding of the peace processor but accused Afghan and international forces of stepping up their own operations.

"We are committed to the ongoing process of negotiation and peaceful resolution, but we cannot be unmoved in the face of military operations and the terrorist wave of occupiers and mercenaries," Khalilzad said.

However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
security officials in Kabul said that apart from the operation in Kunduz, Saturday’s attacks in 15 provinces across the country were limited in scope and had largely been contained.

"They engaged Afghan cops to show their presence with the start of their spring offensive," one bigwig said. "But Afghan forces were on high alert across the country and therefore several attacks were pushed back."

STRATEGIC CITY
In Kunduz, the strategic city which briefly fell to the Taliban in 2015, fighters attacked from several directions in the early hours of the morning, causing heavy casualties, the provincial governor’s front man Enhamuddin Rahmani said.

A local health official said more than 70 dead and maimed had been brought into the main city hospital.

There were also attacks in the northern provinces of Baghlan, Takhar, and Badakhshan, as well as Faryab, Sar-e Pul and Balkh, but there were no reports of significant casualties among security forces.

In southern Afghanistan, Taliban forces launched attacks in the opium-rich province of Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
, with operations in Nad Ali, Gereshk and Sangin districts, areas that have been fought over for the past 17 years.

India-Pakistan
Islamic State says it was behind Quetta's Hazarganji market bombing
[DAWN] The holy warrior 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 grabbed credit for the terrorist attack in Quetta which killed 20 people and left 48 more injured, the group's Amaq news agency said on Saturday.

The group released a photograph of the bomber along with his name on Saturday and said the attack targeted the Shia community. It has claimed a number of attacks in the past.

On Friday, however, a little known faction of the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
had grabbed credit for the blast, saying it collaborated with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi
... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ...
(LeJ), which has been behind numerous bloody attacks on the Shia community in Pakistain.

HAZARA COMMUNITY STAGES SIT-IN ON SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY, DEMANDS JUSTICE
The Hazara community, including women and kiddies, continued their sit-in in Quetta's Western Bypass area for the second straight day.

They demanded that the provincial government provide security to the Hazara community and for the perpetrators to be brought to book. "The government has failed to provide us security despite our repeated protests and requests," Kazim Raza Hazara, one of the protesters, told DawnNewsTV.

Traffic remained suspended on the main Western Bypass due to the sit-in.

"We want justice for our community," Muhammad Juma Hazara said, while Kashif Hussain questioned: "When will this bloodshed stop?"

Tit for tat: Dozens of settlers storm West Bank village, attack residents, rights groups say
[IsraelTimes] Watchdogs say Israelis entered Urif, hurled stones and damaged property, claim Israeli troops then arrived and fired at residents; settlers say Paleostinians instigated the clash.
The Palestinians should have signed a peace plan back when Labour was still running things, or abided by the Oslo Ageement. But Yasser Arafat needed his second Intifada, and now ever fewer blame the Jews living in the West Bank for doing as they’ve been done by.
Dozens of Israelis stormed a Paleostinian village in the northern West Bank on Saturday, vandalizing property and throwing stones at residents in an attack partially caught on video, according to rights groups.
Brief video can be seen at the link.
Citing one its field researchers, the Yesh Din group said over 50 Israelis entered the village of Urif from the direction of the Yitzhar settlement, south of the West Bank city of Nablus, smashing car windows and throwing rocks at homes.

In security camera footage released by the group, a large number of masked men can be seen hurling stones at a car and a home while a Paleostinian family is outside, including what Yesh Din said was a mother with her young daughter.
and puppies ...and a duck
Residents of Urif later clashed with the Israelis, and Yesh Din said Israeli troops who arrived on the scene fired tear gas and live bullets at the villagers. It said the soldiers did not detain any of the Jewish attackers.

B’Tselem, another rights group that documents alleged Israeli human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
violations in the West Bank, released an image of an injured Paleostinian man being taken away in an ambulance. A front man for B’Tselem was not aware how the Paleostinian was hurt, but said several locals were treated for tear gas inhalation. Yesh Din said no Paleostinians were maimed by the settlers.

A front man for Yitzhar said the incident began after a number of Paleostinians approached an almond orchard near the settlement, threw rocks and lightly injured a settler.

The front man said Israeli troops and the settlement security coordinator pushed the Paleostinians back towards Urif. He said a group of settlers then followed to the village where a clash developed, before Border Police arrived at the scene.

An army front man told The Times of Israel that soldiers and Border Police used riot dispersal means to break up a clash between Israelis and Paleostinians near Urif, without giving further details.

Yitzhar and its surrounding outposts are seen as an epicenter of settler violence and have often been linked to attacks on Paleostinians and their property.

Far-right Israelis justify targeting Paleostinians and sometimes IDF soldiers in so-called "price tag" attacks, ostensibly in retaliation for terror attacks and Israeli government actions deemed hostile to the settler movement.

In December, the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs released a report that showed a 69 percent increase in settler attacks on Paleostinians in 2018 compared to 2017.

12 Abus dead after fierce firefights in Jolo
[BenarNews] At least 12 Abu Sayyaf militants were killed in a series of clashes with Philippine security forces on the southern island of Jolo.

The violence comes after a Malaysian hostage died from his injuries Tuesday, days after being rescued. An Indonesian perished during the rescue attempt and another Indonesian man was successfully freed. Among those slain was Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Julie Ikit, the cousin and top lieutenant of Abu Sayyaf senior leader Radullan Sahiron, officials said.

Acting on intelligence provided by local residents, soldiers engaged in a series of clashes near the town of Patikul on Jolo Thursday with an enemy force numbering over a hundred fighters. The running gun battle lasted for about an hour, and reports from ground troops indicated that the enemy factions were led by Sahiron and Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan, the overall leader of the Abu Sayyaf faction in Jolo who is believed to have taken over as the new head of the Islamic State in the Philippines.

The battle forced the enemy to withdraw “leaving behind one dead terrorist, later identified as Abu Sayyaf sub leader Julie Ikit,” military spokesman Gerald Monfort said.

Also recovered from the site were a pair of night-vision goggles, some 40 makeshift tents and food and watersupplies – signs that the militants were highly mobile.

“After the first encounter, the 1st Scout Ranger Battalion was deployed to block the terrorists’ withdrawal,” Monfort said, adding that the soldiers cut off the escaping enemy at a remote area, forcing the gunmen to split into smaller groups going into different directions. “The body of another unidentified Abu Sayyaf member was discovered during a quick search of the area.”

The troops then chased one group of the gunmen while the blocking force encountered another splinter group that was escaping.

Intelligence reports from the ground based on radio intercepts said that seven other enemy fighters were killed and up to 19 injured in the initial battles. Three more were added to the enemy death toll by Friday evening.
