Libyan Army Arrest Al-Qaeda Militants in Southern Libya
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
On Thursday, Libyan National Army (LNA) forces arrested three commanders belonging to the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, including a Mauritanian national, in an operation in Tarout Al-Shati, 30km from Brak Al-Shati in southern Libya.

The sources revealed that the Mauritanian terrorist is the former aide to Abdel-Moneim Al-Hasnawi, known as “Abu Talha”, leader of Al-Qaeda in Libya, who was killed in 2019.

The Tariq bin Ziyad Brigade announced that it has intensified its desert patrols to combat smuggling, and to secure the border regions, per orders from the district commander, Major General Balqasam Laba’gm

In May, LNA Spokesman, Major General Ahmed Al-Mismari called for the dissolution of militias in the country, stressing that they will continue to fight “terrorists.”

“The LNA is keen about the stability of Libya,” Al-Mismari said. “Libya can only be strong with a strong army, and this is apparent in the city of Benghazi because of the presence of a police force protected by the LNA. The security and executive services work side by side there,” he added.

Europe
French court gives Holocaust denier 5 years for death threats against Jews
[IsraelTimes] A blogger who posted videos of himself calling for the murder of prominent French Jews was sentenced to five years in prison by a court in La Belle France.

The sentence, for promoting terrorism and making death threats, is among the harshest in recent years in La Belle France over such offenses.

The tribunal of Cusset, a town near Vichy in central La Belle France, handed down its guilty verdict and sentence on Thursday to Ahmed Moualek, 53, who had posted death threats against Gilles William Golnadel and Alain Jakubowitz, two well-known Jewish lawyers, as well as journalist Elisabeth Levy, La Montagne reported.

Moualek is a former associate of Dieudonne M’bala M’bala and Alain Soral, Holocaust deniers who 10 years ago founded the now-defunct Anti-Zionist Party. Moualek was among the party’s founders.

On the 2019 anniversary of the 2015 murder of four Jews by a jihadist at the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in Gay Paree, Moualek posted a video addressed to "the dirty Jews" in which he said, "You know it would have pleased me no end if the Shoah existed but I’m just sorry you weren’t on the train."

Iraq
ISIS claims responsibility for Baghdad explosion
[Rudaw] 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....
group (ISIS) grabbed credit for a kaboom Thursday evening in the Kadhimiya area of northern Baghdad.

Pro-ISIS websites published a statement from the group in which they claimed their fighters detonated an bomb at a "gathering of the Rafidah [Shiite] infidels" in the Kadhimiya area, killing three people and wounding more than twenty others.

The Iraqi military’s Security Media Cell said the blast was the result of an exploding gas pipe in a shop. It did not report any deaths, but stated some people were maimed.

In its weekly propaganda newspaper al-Naba, ISIS claimed it conducted 20 attacks across Iraq between May 27 and June 2, killing and injuring 25 people.

Over 300 tents burned in a fire in Sharya Camp for Yezidi IDPs from Shengal near Dohuk
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

On Friday afternoon, a fire broke out in Sharya Camp for Yezidy IDPs in Dohuk governorate and the tents that were affected by the fire were completely burnt.

While extinguishing the fire, four individuals, of which two were IDPs and two were civil defense forces, were slightly burnt, according to an eyewitness in the camp.

IDPs said that they did not manage to save their documents and children’s clothes from the fire.

So far, official authorities have not reveal the reasons that cause the fire, which lasted for about two hours before being extinguished.

Sharya Camp, which houses about 20,000 IDPs distributed in 4,000 tents, was established in 2015 months after an attack by the Islamic State (ISIS) on Sinjar District in 2014.
