Though not quite as fleet as a cheetah,
Since she ran down the track,
Turned around, and ran back,
She's the sweetheart of Santa Anita.

[NYPOST] The gunman accused of killing an Illinois police sergeant and wounding a second cop at a motel was arrested Friday following a massive, multi-state manhunt.
Darius Sullivan, 26, was taken into custody "without incident" Friday morning in Indiana in the ambush attack on Bradley, Ill., Police Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic and her partner, Officer Tyler Bailey.
"Darius Sullivan has warrants out of Illinois for first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery using a firearm," Indiana State Police Sgt. Glen Fifield said at a press briefing Friday.
"I can confirm that Sullivan is the suspect wanted for the murder of Sgt. Rittimanic and the attempted murder of officer Baily," he said. "He’s currently in jug here at the North Manchester Police Department and will be later transferred to the Wabash Sheriff’s Department."
Sullivan was arrested after cops and the US Marshal Service executed a search warrant at the North Manchester house where he was hiding.
Fifield said the arrest followed an unrelated traffic pursuit around 3:30 a.m. Friday that led police to obtain a search warrant for the house where Sullivan was found.
It is unclear how the two cases are linked or how the traffic stop led cops to Sullivan’s hideout.
Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, Cynthia backed into the galley, the barbecue fork held in front of her. Jack! she called. Where the hell are you?... a "person of interest" in the Illinois shooting, Xandria Harris, 26, is still being sought by police, Fifield said.
He said Sullivan is facing possession of drugs and weapons charges for items allegedly found in the home but will be extradited to Illinois to face the more serious charges in the police shootings.
Rittmanic, 49, was rubbed out and Bailey, 27, was critically injured when the two cops responded to a report of dogs barking in a car at a Comfort Inn motel in Illinois, police said.
Bailey was clinging to life Friday, the outlet said.

[DW] Lawmaker Noureddine Bhairi has been "kidnapped by security agents in civilian clothes and taken to an unknown destination," according to the Ennahda party.
Security forces have detained a bigwig from the largest party in the suspended Tunisian parliament for the first time since President Kais Saied seized power three months ago, the Ennahda party said on Friday.
The moderate Islamist Ennahda,
...also known as the Moslem Brotherhood in Tunisia, so not moderate at all...
which accuses Saied of an unfair power grab, said plainclothes security agents had captured the party's vice president, Noureddine Bhairi.
"This morning, the Vice-President of Ennahdha party and Member of Parliament, Noureddine Bhiri, was kidnapped by security agents in civilian clothes and taken to an unknown destination," the party said on Facebook. "During the kidnapping operation, lawyer Ms Saida al-Akremi, wife of Mr Bhiri, who was with him, was violent mostly peacefully assaulted." The party wrote that the move set a "dangerous precedent" on a path of "tyranny" through an "elimination of political opponents."
Ennahdha's fall from grace
Ennahda was banned before the 2011 revolution. It has since returned to the political stage and become the most consistently influential party, being a part of successive coalition governments.
As Tunisia's economy stagnated and its political system ground to a halt in recent years, support for the party has waned. Before the parliament was suspended by Saied, Ennahda controlled the largest number of seats, but was winning fewer votes than in previous years.
In recent months, several senior politicians and business leaders have been detained or subjected to prosecution, often involving cases of corruption or defamation.
Human rights groups have decried some of those arrests as well as criticizing the use of military courts to hear such cases.

Deutsche Welle (DW), Germany’s international service, is no more dependable than the AP or the NY Times. Ennahda is a Muslim Brotherhood outfit and has been for decades. Its leader Rachid Ghannouchi has long been placed in the hierarchy of the Ikhwan al-Muslimeen and yet DW takes no note of its history.

Like Al Ahram, Deutsche Welle is a government communication project, so projects the opinions of the government on what should be reported and now. That said, both are available in English and give us at least some of the local and international stories Rantburg is interested in, so are useful to us here. Also useful as supplementary information to stories obtained elsewhere, confirming that information and adding additional useful details.
Yes. I did note as an in-line comment what Ennahda is; sadly, everyone except Al Ahram describes them and all other Moslem Brotherhood political parties as moderate because they prefer to obtain the caliphate by the soft jihad of the law and politics instead of the hard jihad of the sword like Al Qaeda, ISIS and other open jihad terror groups.

Within a decade of its founding the Muslim Brotherhood created a radical jihadist element within its organization in Egypt. In time in was never radical enough for locos like Qutb, Zawahiri, and the like. The Brotherhood as now created has no blood lust Jihadist element, but it has on many occasions funded such movements when it thought proper. I am aware that the American left considers the Ikhwan a soft movement, but looks are deceiving. As is the American Left.
[SAHARAREPORTERS] Nigerian Army authorities have said 22 bad boyz were potted when troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force engaged Boko Haram ...Nigeerian Islamist group, formerly paying homage to al-Qaeda, then, when the money ran out, to the Islamic State, and headed by nutcase Abu Bakr Shekau. Once he exploded in a gunfight with ISWAP, many in the group surrendered to the govt and others went with their new overlords. The remainder are a shell of their former selves, stmbling glassy-eyed and lonely through the Sambisa Forest and the soothing waters of Lake Chad, asking themselves What is truth?, or maybe just I wonder what's for dinner? I hope it's not rhinocerous again! ... and ISWAP murderous Moslems around Mallam Fatori Town in the Lake Chad region. Kill is good
They, however, added that six soldiers were also killed during the engagement.
A statement by the front man for the Multinational Joint Task Force, Colonel Muhammad Dole, on Thursday said the operation was code-named Sharan Fage.
It noted that the operation had troops drawn from Sector 3 Monguno (Nigeria) and Sector 4 Diffa (Niger Republic) and was heavily supported by Operation Hadin Kai (Nigeria) and the targets were Boko Haram/ISWAP murderous Moslems hiding around Mallam Fatori town.
The statement said though the troops had superior firepower, they met strong resistance from the terrorists.
According to the statement, the murderous Moslems launched several mortar attacks, laid Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) along the troops’ route of advance, and further attacks with Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs).
Colonel Dole said despite the challenge posed by the terrorists, 22 of them were neutralised during the operation.
He added that 5 of their gun trucks, five cycle of violences, and several logistic bunkers were destroyed and eight AK-47 rifles were also recovered from the terrorists.
He, however, added that six members of the Joint Task Force comprising two officers and 4 other ranks from both Nigeria and the Niger Republic were killed in the line of duty with about 16 others maimed in action.
The statement noted that 17 suspects arrested in the general area of operations were being profiled.
Some assailants on Friday stormed Mereri village in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, and kidnapped a wife of Dr AbdulRazaq, a lecturer with Federal College of Education (Technical), Gusau and his two daughters, Maryam AbdulRazaq and Hafsat AbdulRazaq.
It was learnt that many properties including money were looted in the Mareri community, on the outskirts of Gusau.

One of the neighbours of the lecturer who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons, said the bandidos stormed the house with sophisticated weapons and began to shoot indiscriminately, Daily Post reports.
The source added that some of them came barefooted and got access to the area through a forest linking other communities known as Geba, Jajjayen and Kwanar Mai in Gusau.
Three persons have been confirmed dead after button men attacked Morfor Motor Park in the Udu Local Government Area, Delta State, and engaged police operatives in a shootout.
This was made known by the Delta State Police Command in a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer of the state command, Bright Edafe.
According to him, two of the button men escaped while two others sustained gunshot injuries in a gun duel with police operatives.
The statement read, "On December 30, at about 10.05am, information was received by the command that daredevil armed hoodlums were firing intense gunshots at Morfor motor park in Udu LGA and in the process shot three persons dead.

"But on getting to Igbeki in Ovwian Aladja, they again attempted to attack one chief (name withheld) unknown to them that the chief had a team of Special protection unit, SPU, Operatives escorting him.
"However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... on noticing the presence of the SPU operatives, the hoodlums numbering about four diverted to a street in Igbeki Udu. The combined team of SPU Operatives and Ovwian Aladja Patrol teams led by the DPO Ovwian Aladja Division went after the hoodlums.
"The hoodlums engaged the police teams in a gun duel and in the ensuing shootout, two of the armed robbers sustained gunshot injuries, while the other members of the gang escaped into the bush."

During the bombardment, over 10 persons died while others escaped with bullet wounds, Punch reports.
While parading the suspects at its base in Onitsha on Friday, the leader of the naval team, Suleiman Agabi, said the command, based on intelligence gathering, stormed the kidnappers' hideout around 1:20 am on Friday.
Agabi further identified the suspected kidnappers as the criminal masterminds of the abduction of the traditional ruler of Ogwaniocha community in Anambra State, Igwe Oliver Nnaji, who was kidnapped on November 15, 2021.
It was learnt that the suspects are making confessional statements in connection to the abduction of the monarch.
Live ammunition, cartridges, guns, charms, among others were reportedly recovered from the victim.
Agabi said, “These criminals have formed a syndicate. They go to communities around the borders, kidnap their traditional rulers and use the ransom to buy guns, prepare charms and maintain their operations.
“We got a report now that some of them have started visiting medical facilities to receive treatment and I have directed members of my team to go round the area, especially at Ihiala and monitor the situation. Some of the suspects have confessed to belong to a group that kidnapped the traditional ruler of Ogwaniocha community and we are trailing their leader.”

[ColonelCassad] The Houthis have released a large New Year's Eve report on their operations in the Al-Jawf province (as long as the bloody battles for the mountainous region of Jabal-al-Balak continue in Marib, and there is still no time for bright victorious videos - the meat grinder there is more than serious, there are heavy losses on both sides, and the intensity is such that even the commanders of the brigades are dying, and in general, is it a joke - the offensive that began on February 7, 2021 there continues with short interruptions to this day), which presents the footage traditional for such reports of the defeat of the Hadis and Saudis - scattering across the desert invaders, abandoned and destroyed equipment, liberated settlements, killed, wounded and captured enemy soldiers, interesting angles of shooting and editing. In general, everything is at the usual high level.
In total, during the operation in the province of Al-Jawf, almost 1,200 square kilometers of Yemen's territory, including the city of Yatmah, were liberated. Two Hadi brigades defending in this direction suffered heavy losses in men and material.
In fact, the Houthis took advantage of the fact that the Hadi command had pulled all reserves to Marib (even the Giants brigade was pulled from the front south of Hodeidah and driven to Marib to participate in counterattacks on the Houthis) and weakened other sectors. In al-Jawf, the Houthi command was able to feel the weakness and achieve good results.
Overall, the Yemeni War was the most intense and bloodiest war of 2021. Generally speaking, the Houthis still own the Operational Initiative (which they seized after winning the Battle of Hodeidah) and are trying to convert it into an expansion of Yemeni-controlled territory.
Since 2019, the Saudi coalition has been acting on the defensive, abandoning the idea of achieving victory over the Houthis by military means, now Riyadh is more concerned with the question of how to get out of this war without saving face and so that it does not look like a defeat from Iran. Iran perfectly understands the difficulties of its opponents, so it continues to actively support the Houthis, which allows them to somewhat counterbalance the enemy’s complete air domination with retaliatory attacks from drones and ballistic missiles.
At the moment, there are no preconditions for the end of this war, which has been going on since 2015. The centerpiece of the war will remain the battle of Marib, which the Houthis are determined to take and Saudi Arabia is determined not to surrender.
Good luck to the Houthis in the coming year 2022. There are even more such videos, and of course, well-aimed missile launches at Riyadh.
Far-left and #Antifa groups across the US have announced coordinated New Years Eve direct actions in support of jailed criminals and criminal suspects. In their ideology, the criminal justice system must be abolished. https://t.co/VJWzD5xFlY
[OneIndia] The Special Investigation Agency (SIA) of Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... Police filed its first charge sheet against nine people, including a separatist, in a case related to "selling" of MBBS seats
...whatever those are...
in Pakistain to Kashmiri students and using the money to support and fund terrorism, officials said on Thursday, according to a PTI report.
The case was registered by the Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK), a branch of the police's CID, in July last year after receiving information through reliable sources that several unscrupulous people, including some separatists, were hand in glove with some educational consultancies and were "selling" Pakistain-based MBBS seats and seats in other professional courses in colleges and universities.
The CIK, which has been designated as the SIA now, filed its charge sheet before a court against Mohammad Akbar Bhat alias Zaffar Akbar Bhat, the chairman of Salvation Movement,
...it’s been a while since we heard that name...
a constituent of hardline Hurriyat Conference.
Others named in the chargesheet are Abdul Jabbar, Fatima Shah, Altaf Ahmad Bhat Qazi Yasir, Mohammad Abdullah Shah, Sabzar Ahmad Sheikh, Manzoor Ahmad Shah, Syed Khalid Geelani and Mohd Iqbal Mir of Mahaz Azadi Front.
During investigation, oral, documentary and technical evidence was collected and in analysis it surfaced that MBBS and other professional degrees-related seats were preferentially given to those students who were close family members or relatives of killed terrorists, they said.
Evidence also came on record to show that money had been put into channels that ended up supporting programmes and projects pertaining to terrorism and separatism, which included the unrest after the killing of Burhan Wani, the poster boy of banned Hizbul Mujahideen ...Party of Holy Warriors, founded by Muhammad Ahsan Dar in September 1989. One of the Pak sock puppets waging jihad in Indian Kashmir. It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir. After the organization was taken over by Syed Salahuddin Dar and several other ex-Hizb leaders were assassinated between 2001 and 2003... terror group, in 2016.
The money was also used in failed efforts to disrupt peace after the abrogation of the erstwhile state's special status in August, 2019.
[OneIndia] There have been multiple encounters in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... as a result of which a large number of Death Eaters including top commanders have been shot full of holes.
On Thursday, Inspector General of Police,, Kashmir Vijay Kumar said that the security forces have been able to breach the mark of 200 Death Eaters in Kashmir as it has come down to 180. It is for the first time in history that local Death Eaters have been reduced to less than 100. Following the encounter on Wednesday in which 6 Death Eaters including from Pakistain were shot full of holes the count now stands at 85, he also said.
A bigwig tells OneIndia that the high rate of success when it comes to gunning down Death Eaters is because of the smooth coordination between the Intelligence, Army and Police. Several moles within the establishment have been shunted out.
That’s good to know...
Earlier, Death Eaters would have information before hand when a cordon and search operation was planned due to which they were able to escape or have an upper hand during the encounter. However this scenario has changed and they have been caught with an element of surprise, the official cited above also said.
The seamless coordination has resulted in the killing of 73 local Death Eaters this year. In all 128 locals had joined various groups of which 73 were killed. In December alone 24 bad boyz were potted of which five were Paks.
In terms of handling terrorism, the year 2021 has been better when compared to 2020. There were 238 terror related incidents in 2020 as opposed to the 182 this year. 37 civilians died in 2020, while in 2021 it was 34. The number of casualties where the armed forces were concerned were 57 and 34 in 2020 and 2021 respectively. The number of law and order incidents dropped to 77 this year when compared to 147 the previous year.
In terms of recruitment of locals into terrorist group it was 128 this year when compared to 170 in 2020. Of the 128 who joined the terror ranks this year, 73 were killed while 16 were arrested taking the number of active Death Eaters in Kashmir to just 39.
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has arrested one operative of The Resistence Front following a search conducted in Srinagar.
The arrested has been identified as Arsalan Feroz a resident of Srinagar. The case on hand relates to the conspiracy hatched to radicalise, motivate and recruit the youth of Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... to effect violent mostly peaceful activities in the Union Territory.
In furtherance of the said conspiracy these persons are recruiting individuals to carry out reconnaissance of pre-determined targets, coordinating and transporting weapons to support the Lashkar-e-Tayiba and The Resistence Front. So far four accused have been arrested in connection with this case. The searches conducted led to the recovery of several incriminating material such as documents and digital devices the NIA said.
[JPost] "Smite us now"
Two rockets launched from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip fell in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of central Israel early on Saturday morning.
"Earlier this morning, two rocket launches were identified from the Gaza Strip toward the Mediterranean. The rockets fell off the coast of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. According to protocol, no sirens were sounded and no interception took place," the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement.
The rockets were the first to be launched in the New Year and were heard in the cities of Tel Aviv, Holon, Bat Yam and Rishon Lezion.
According to reports, one rocket fell near Tel Aviv while the other landed near Palmachim, south of the city. There were no injuries and, despite the smoke seen off the coast, no reports of damage.
Army Radio reported that Egypt has sent a message to Israel that the rocket fire was not intentional and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi held situational assessments regarding the rocket fire.

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Force said that its troops apprehended two people who crossed the border from Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity™, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade... into Israel after midnight Friday.
"A short time ago, IDF lookouts spotted two suspects who crossed from Lebanese territory into Israel near Reches Ramim," the army said in a statement. "IDF soldiers apprehended the suspects and they are being questioned at the scene."
Hebrew media reports said the two men were Sudanese migrants colonists searching for work and not terror suspects.
In recent months, dozens of migrants colonists have attempted to enter the Jewish state in search of work in light of the ongoing Lebanese economic crisis, which has left many of the country’s foreign workers unemployed or unpaid.
[JPost] Residents threw stones at the forces and blocked axes by burning tires. I think they meant access
Security forces evacuated illegal buildings on Givat Komi Uri near Yitzhar in the West Bank on Friday. During the evacuation, clashes broke out between the security forces and the residents of the outpost, during which three IDF soldiers were lightly injured.
Residents threw stones at the forces and blocked traffic by burning tires, which they also threw at the forces. The stones shattered the windshield of a backhoe loader brought in for the evacuation, and several of the forces’ vehicles were damaged as well.
In response, the forces used means to disperse the demonstrators. Two Border Police soldiers and a Special Patrol Unit fighter were lightly injured.
[IsraelTimes] Ahmad Zahra accused of initiating contact with organization and offering to assist its efforts against Israel, was given encryption software and various tasks over the years
Prosecutors filed an indictment in Jerusalem’s District Court on Friday against a resident of the city, accusing him of aiding the Hezbollah terror group.
Ahmad Zahra, 32, is charged with contact with a foreign agent and providing information to the enemy in order to harm state security.
Prosecutors say Zahra contacted a man in Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity™, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade... nine years ago and told him he wanted to make contact with Hezbollah in order to work for it inside Israel. They say he was given encrypting software by the organization for the purpose of exchanging messages.
Throughout the years Zahra was in contact with his handlers on various occasions, they said. He was given various tasks, including providing the terror group information on the goings-on in the capital, and Paleostinian unrest there.
Zahra is also accused of photographing satellite dishes he believed were a strategic site and sending the pictures to Hezbollah.
Prosecutors said that at a certain point contacts stopped for several years, but were renewed this past year. During his honeymoon in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... , they said, Zahra received funds and a cellphone with encryption technology to allow him to once again contact handlers, which he did upon his return to Israel.
Zahra was arrested before he could carry out further missions.
Earlier this month an Arab Israeli woman was convicted of spying for Hezbollah and was sentenced to 2.5 years in jail after photographing various strategic sites for the group, including Iron Dome batteries and military bases. Mai-Bat Masarwa was found to have sent photos to a Hezbollah agent who contacted her online, including pictures of bases, guard posts, military vehicles and more. Masarwa has confessed to the actions, but claimed she believed she was in touch with a Lebanese news hound, not a Hezbollah man.
And in July another woman, Yasmin Jaber, a resident of the Old City of Jerusalem, was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for working to recruit Israelis and Paleostinians to carry out terror attacks on behalf of the terror group. Jaber, who worked at the time for the National Library of Israel on the campus of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, was arrested last August after an extensive Shin Bet security service investigation. She was convicted under a plea bargain of contacting an enemy agent, being a member of a terrorist organization illegally traveling abroad, and possessing an article for the purpose of terror.
[IsraelTimes] No soldiers injured; military says foiled attack occurred at the Gitai Avishar Junction, near the Ariel settlement; troops arrest suspect who was in car that transported assailant
A Paleostinian man attempted to carry out a stabbing attack in the northern West Bank on Friday morning but was rubbed out by troops at the scene, the military said.
According to the military, the attempted attack took place at the Gitai Avishar Junction, just outside the Ariel settlement in the northern West Bank.
"A Paleostinian car drove near a military post at the Gitai Avishar Junction... A terrorist got out of the car with a knife in his hand and ran toward the bus stop in which there were civilians and soldiers," the military said.
"IDF troops shot up the terrorist, killing him," it said.
Photographs from the scene showed the alleged assailant on the ground next to a bus stop full of soldiers. He was taken to Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Medical Center at death's door and was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Hours after setting up roadblocks in the area, the military announced the arrest of a suspect who was in the car that transported the assailant to the scene.
An IDF statement said the suspect was unarmed and taken for questioning.
Recent weeks have seen a marked rise in violence by Paleostinians against Israeli civilians and soldiers in the West Bank and Jerusalem, including a deadly shooting attack earlier this month.
The IDF has deployed additional soldiers to the area in an effort to prevent further attacks.
Israeli troops Friday shot dead a Palestinian man who attempted to stab soldiers and settlers at a bus stop in the occupied West Bank, the military said.
The Palestinian health ministry confirmed the death of the alleged assailant, identifying him as Amir Atef Rayyan. .

[IsraelTimes] Paramilitary force says it ’targeted and killed the perpetrators’ behind deadly assault in 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... that left 2 of its members dead
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced Friday they had killed three people who were involved a deadly attack that left two of their members dead in the southeastern province of Sistan-Balochistan.
On December 26, the Revolutionary Guards had said two of its members had been killed in the province that borders Pakistain, in "armed festivities with a group of bandidos and mercenaries," without providing further details.
On Friday, the Guards said they "targeted and killed the perpetrators behind this crime" in a "surprise" operation, according to a statement reported by the website Sepah News.
The suspects had been working on "shaking the peace and security of residents in the southeast of the country," they added without elaborating.
Sistan-Balochistan province lies on the border with Pakistain and is a flashpoint of festivities between security forces and gangs.
The festivities often involve smuggling gangs as well as separatists from the Baluchi minority or turban bad boy groups.
On November 18, three Iranian coppers, including a colonel, were killed and six others maimed in festivities with an gang while patrolling an area bordering Sistan-Balochistan.
