[KhaamaPress] A man was arrested in Kabul’s capital city of Afghanistan with six magnetic Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), according to the Ministry of National Defense on Monday.
The Ministry said that the apprehended capture was made possible based on the intelligence gathered by the 313 Central Corps of the defence ministry.
"A man was arrested along with six 6-ring stick mines and two rifles in the Dehamzang area of Kabul," the Ministry tweeted, adding that the suspect will be handed over to the relevant authorities after investigation.
The arrest came two days after an attack on Friday late evening in Kabul that killed three and maimed four members of the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... , the Afghan Freedom Front, claimed in a news release.
However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the Islamic Emirate confirmed the earth-shattering kaboom without causalities and said that only two people were maimed.
Recently, the attack has been increased on the Taliban interim government by 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.... Khorasan and other krazed killer groups in the country.
Within a week, three explosions occurred, one in Kabul, claiming three lives, one in Balkh’s governor’s office, which led to his death and another in Tebyan Cultural Centre, killing more than three and other 30 journalists.
Since the Taliban retook control of power in Afghanistan, security has been a significant challenge in front of them amid a humanitarian dire in the country.
Door-to-door searches continued in Kabul, specifically focused on the area around the Shahid and Salim Karvan intersection.
A new round of violence over Taliban-sanctioned land redistribution initiatives has emerged in northern Faryab province as southern nomads attempt to claim Uzbek lands in northern Afghanistan. Videos have been circulating on social media showing the bloodied bodies of locals who resisted.
Leaked documents indicating cooperation between the Indian and Taliban governments on training Afghan diplomats have been circulating social media, leading to speculation that relations are warming despite a lack of official recognition of the Taliban government. In response to media attention, the Indian government reiterated that it does not recognize the Taliban government but will not discriminate against Afghans who wish to join the training course. Although the invitation was solely to attend a short-term online training program from Kabul, the program is sponsored by India’s foreign ministry and Taliban officials were intentionally included in the invitation list.
Following social media outcries in September 2022 over the forced marriage of Elaha Dilawarzai, the Taliban Supreme Court officially found Elaha’s “husband”, Taliban official Saeed Khosti, innocent of rape and forced marriage.
There have been multiple reports of several children being poisoned in Kabul and Rawalpindi in the last few days. Reportedly, children have ingested poisoned food that they have been given to share with their parents. Although the details of these reports remain unclear, parents should warn children about ingesting food received from strangers until more details emerge.
The Afghan consulate in Dubai is now run by a Taliban official after Taliban acting Foreign Minister Muttaqi replaced the Consul General who had been appointed under President Ghani and replaced him with Rahman Feda, one of his reported proteges. This transition would not have proceeded without the UAE’s consent, especially given reports that the republic-era consul general had good rapport with the UAE government.

[Garowe] Two rival al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... and ISIS bully boy groups have reportedly clashed in the Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... state of Somalia, an indication of brewing internal wrangles which could perhaps give a slight advantage to the Somali National Army [SNA] who have been fighting them viciously for the last several months.
Sunday's festivities took place in the Bari region where holy warriors fought for several hours as they pushed to expand their territories. al-Shabaab has a numerical advantage in the country and is said to be the most dangerous group.
The festivities started on Saturday and extended to Sunday and a better part of Monday morning, sources said. They fought around Dadamale and Qura'da in Ja'ayl within Bari region.
Both al-Shabaab and ISIS operate in the wider sub-region known as Balli Dhidin with Qandala district in Bari, particularly between Qandala and Bosaso, the main commercial capital of Puntland.
Ahmed Yusuf, the Qandala District Commissioner confirmed the festivities while noting that security forces have been monitoring the situation. Whenever these two groups clash over supremacy, the government gets time to reorganize and strategize on how to degrade them.
"The two holy warrior groups have coexisted in the area, but it seems they are fighting for territorial control," said Mr. Yusuf, referring to reports received from local dwellers of the mountainous areas who witnessed the fighting.
According to locals, the intense fighting may have left several holy warriors dead and others maimed but the exact number could not be ascertained. Loyalists of Abdulkadir Mumin split from al-Shabaab in 2015, declaring loyalty to Isis, then led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Mr Yusuf added: "The situation appears tense, but because of the area’s mountainous nature limits the flow of information. Somalia has been pursuing both groups for the last seven months with intensity with the US Africa Command, the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Transition Mission in Somalia [ATMIS] and local militia giving support.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud declared full war against the holy warriors on all fronts and for the last seven months. But still, al-Shabaab controls large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia, leading to sustained operations against them across the country.
[ShabelleMedia] Somali army backed by Jubaland troops conducted a joint military operation in Lower Jubba days after President Hassan Sheikh visited the southern region.
The combined forces targeted al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... bases near the village of Mido which is 26-KM away from Afmadow District which is under Jubaland state control.
It has been confirmed that 7 al-Shabaab members, including a commander named Asad, were killed in the operation. The krazed killer group didn’t comment on the army claims.
Also, during the operation, 4 AK47 rifles, 1 BKM were recovered as the Commander of the 5th Brigade of the elite Danab force Arab Dheeg Ahmed told the local media on Monday.
The operation is part of the war against al-Shabaab in the Jubaland and other Federal States in Somalia, except Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... which has managed to contain the terrorist menace.
In recent months, the Somali national army [SNA] and local clan militias retook chunks of territory in Galmudug ...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... and Hirshabelle states in an operation backed by US air strikes.

On Saturday, two non-combatants were killed and ten others were maimed as a result of the Saudi bombing of the Shada district.

[Dawn] Police on Monday claimed to have killed two ’criminal masterminds’ of last month’s deadly attack on the Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Police Office (KPO), while two other suspects affiliated with the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) were arrested after an ’encounter’ on the outskirts of the metropolis.
Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, flanked by bigwigs of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), said that in order to eliminate the network behind the KPO attack, the CTD, federal intelligence agencies and other LEAs had established a joint special team, which successfully traced this network to the bordering area between Karachi and Hub, 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... where they were hiding.
"This network had provided help, planning and reconnaissance to the KPO terrorists," said the minister.
The CTD and other security institutions received a tip-off on Sunday night that members of this network would enter Karachi from the "muddy roads" of Hub.
When four suspects riding two cycle of violences arrived at Mai Ghari area in Manghopir at around 3am on Monday, the CTD team already deployed there signalled them to stop. Instead of stopping, the suspects resorted to firing and in an ensuing shootout two bully boyz were rubbed out while two others surrendered themselves. A suicide jacket was recovered from them, which the BDS defused.
The killed bully boyz were identified as Aryadullah alias Hasan and Waheedullah alias Khalid alias Huzaifa.
"Both killed bully boyz were criminal masterminds of the KPO attack," claimed the minister. The held suspects were identified as Abdul Aziz alias Mohammad Ali and Mehran alias Meharban.
The killed forces of Evil were residents of Karachi’s Ahsanabad area while the held bully boyz were residents of the metropolis’s Gulshan-e-Hadeed and Shah Latif Town areas respectively. They had fled to Balochistan after the incident.
"The held suspects have revealed that they and their killed accomplices belonged to the banned TTP," said Mr Memon.
A week prior to the attack, the three jacket wallahs had come to Karachi by bus and stayed at the home of the killed krazed killer Waheed in Ahsanabad. Suicide jackets, arms and other weapons were brought to Karachi through a truck from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank area.
The information minister claimed that the killed and held bully boyz were coming to Karachi to carry out another terror act as he perceived that they did not achieve their objectives during the KPO raid.
Sharjeel Memon said that the CTD and intelligence institutions had jointly traced all major terror incidents in Sindh, particularly Karachi, though at times the provincial government faced adverse criticism.
Responding to a volley of questions, the minister disclosed that Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had set up a committee to ascertain possible negligence of the police during the KPO attack.
He said it was not possible to check thousands of trucks and buses which came to Karachi from other parts of the country, adding that it was also the responsibility of other administrations, particularly the KP government, to keep an eye on such vehicles and krazed killers.
He claimed that the provincial government was planning to install scanners at entry/exit points of Sindh.
In an apparent reference to former PM Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer... , Mr Memon accused him of providing "moral support" to the TTP krazed killers.
To a question, CTD official Raja Umar Khattab said that no Baloch bully boyz were among three killed attackers of the KPO. He said two of them were identified as residents of KP while the third one remained unidentified. His code name was ’Yasir’ but his identity could only be established through DNA testing. "Most probably, he was an Afghan," opined the CTD official.
The autopsy of both men was carried out at Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi.

[IsraelTimes] Shin Bet involved in investigation of blast at Megiddo Junction; father says victim, Shareef ad-Din, 21, was on way home from work
A man from the northern Arab village of Salem was seriously maimed after a kaboom occurred near his car at a junction in northern Israel, which authorities suspected could be a possible terror incident.
According to police and medics, the earth-shattering kaboom occurred at around 6 a.m. on the Route 65 highway at the Megiddo Junction, close to the prison of the same name.
The 21-year-old, later named as Shareef ad-Din, was taken by the Magen David Adom ambulance service to the Emek Medical Center in Afula for treatment, before being transferred to Haifa’s Rambam Hospital. He was listed at death's door, suffering from shrapnel to his entire body, including his head, medical officials said.
Police said officers were at the scene investigating the circumstances of the blast, which initially remained unclear. The highway was closed off in both directions in the area, and remained shut until around 3:30 p.m.
The bomb was thought to have been planted on the side of the road. Footage from the scene showed the vehicle, a road maintenance pickup truck, damaged by shrapnel.
The Shin Bet security agency was involved in the investigation, indicating that authorities suspected the earth-shattering kaboom could have been terror-related.
A spokesperson for the Shin Bet did not provide further details about the suspicions and investigation.
Recent months have seen a number of bombing attacks by Paleostinians.
In November, an East Jerusalem Paleostinian with 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.... ties set off two bombs at two entrances to Jerusalem, killing two and wounding more than 20 others.
On Friday morning, a Paleostinian tried to break into a settlement farm in the West Bank with several improvised bombs, before being rubbed out. And on Friday night, a Paleostinian suspect was detained for allegedly planting a bomb on a bus in a West Bank settlement a night earlier.
Car bombings, however, are also a hallmark of criminal gangs in Israel, in both the Jewish and Arab communities.
Arab communities in Israel have seen a surge in violence in recent years, driven mainly, but not exclusively, by organized crime. Arab Israelis say police have failed to crack down on powerful criminal organizations and for years largely ignored the violence, which includes family feuds, mafia pie fights, and attacks on women.
The victim in Monday’s explosion did not appear to have any relation to criminal activity.
Speaking to the Ynet news site, ad-Din’s father, Taha ad-Din, said his son was on his way home from a night shift at work when the blast occurred.
"My son was on his way home, he works at night and studies during the day. He is studying to be a civil engineer and works on roads in the Tel Aviv area," Taha ad-Din said.
[NPASyria] Russian Military Police (MP) conducted on Monday a joint patrol with the Ottoman Turkish forces in the western countryside of Kobani, northern Syria.
This is the 130th joint patrol between the two forces in the region since the signing of the Russian-Ottoman Turkish ceasefire agreement in northeast Syria.
In October 2019, following the so-called Ottoman Turkish military operation "Peace Spring" in areas of northeast Syria which resulted in the occupation of Tel Abyad, north of Raqqa, and Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) north of Hasakah, the Ottoman Turkish president signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US.
The ceasefire agreements stipulating halt of all hostilities there and the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 30 kilometers in depth away from the Ottoman Turkish border in addition to conducting joint patrols with Russia in order to monitor the implementation of the agreements.
The patrol, which consisted of eight Russian and Ottoman Turkish military vehicles accompanied by two Russian helicopters, set off from the village of Ashma, 20 km west of Kobani.
The patrol passed the villages of Charqli Fouqani, Qeran, Dikmadash, Khorkhoy, Boban and Gul Bey, reaching to Tel Shair, four kilometers west of Kobani.
After that, the patrol passed the villages of Sosan, Qola, Qara Qoy Tahtani, Pinder, Meshko, Jibna and Chareqli Fouqani returning against to Ashma where the Ottoman Turkish armored vehicles crossed to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... while the Russian ones returned to the Russian base close to the village of Sirrin south of Kobani.
On March 6, the Russian and Ottoman Turkish forces conducted the 129th joint patrol in the eastern countryside of Kobani.

[NPASyria] An old man was maimed on Monday after being shot by Ottoman Turkish border guards while he was working in his farmland near the village of Kherbet Eljoz in the western countryside of Idlib, west Syria.
A local source told North Press, "Ottoman Turkish border guards targeted with two gunshots 65-year-old Mustafa Fizo while he was in his tractor working in his field, which is located near the village of Kherbet Eljoz."
The source added that residents of the village rushed the old man into a medical center in the village, "but his injury was severe so he was taken to al-Shifa’ Hospital in Idlib city."
A medical source at the hospital said that "the injured needs blood transfer and surgical intervention."
On Saturday, a young man was tortured to death and seven others sustained injuries of varying degrees of severity after being assaulted by Ottoman Turkish border guards who captured them while they were trying to cross the border into The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
[NPASyria] On Monday, sources from Bab al-Hawa border crossing with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... north of Idlib, northwest Syria, said residents and activist muppets arrived at the crossing to denounce the practices of Ottoman Turkish border guards against Syrians.
The sources told North Press that the protest followed the killing of the 17-year-old Abdurrazaq Ahmad al-Qastal from the village of Samra in the eastern countryside of Hama Governorate, central Syria, and the wounding of seven others on March 11 by the Ottoman Turkish border guards while they were trying to cross to Turkey from north of Idlib.
The protesters demanded that al-Qastal body is handed to his family since relative authorities have not handed the body to the family yet under the pretext of investigation to hide traces of torture the body sustains, according to the sources.
The same sources added that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (HTS, formerly al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front) has mobilized its security apparatus and closed the crossing since 10:00 am.
On Sunday, activist muppets in the city of Afrin, northwest Syria, called for organizing a protest to denounce the killing and torturing practiced by the Ottoman Turkish border guard against Syrians trying to cross the border into Turkey.
The source added that the protest will take place on Monday at Newroz Roundabout in the city center of Afrin where the participants will demand the Ottoman Turkish border guards, who are responsible for crimes against Syrians, are held accountable.
Ottoman Turkish authorities continue to tighten the screw on the Syrians who try to illegally cross to Turkey by snipping and ongoing torturing, according to reports.
Syrians, while crossing the border, are attacked and shot at by the Ottoman Turkish border guards.
The Monitoring and Documentation Department of North Press has counted the killing of 16 individuals and the wounding of 46 others including a child and three women since early 2023.
Most of those who want to access Turkey resort to illegal and dangerous smuggling routes in light of unavailable safe ones to either reunite with their families or secure jobs to provide for their families amid the dire economic conditions the country is witnessing.

[Rudaw] Two rockets targeted forces of the US-led coalition in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province on Monday, resulting in no casualties or material damages, according to a statement from the force.
"Two 107mm rockets targeted Coalition Forces east of Deir Ezzor, Syria, today at approximately 9pm local time in Syria," read a statement from the coalition’s Combined Special Operations Joint Task Force — Levant (SOJTF-Levant).
Hundreds of US troops stationed in eastern Syria have fought alongside the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 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) terror group.
"Attacks of this kind place Coalition Forces, Partner Forces, and the civilian populace at risk and undermines the hard-earned stability and security of Syria and the region," SOJTF-Levant spokesperson Jonathan Ferrer said.
Attacks on US forces in Syria are often attributed to Iran-backed militias and factions, but have never been claimed.
On February 14, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said they had shot down an Iranian drone that was surveying a base of the coalition in northeast Syria.
Tit-for-tat attacks between the US and Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... playing out in Iraq and Syria have simmered down over the past year. In August, US forces launched Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeting facilities used by Iranian-backed militias in Deir ez-Zor in an attack it said was in retaliation to an attack on a US base.
An American site, "Green Village," located in northeastern Syria was hit by a rocket attack on Monday.
According to a statement from US forces, "On March 13 at 8:23 pm local time in Syria, two rockets fell near coalition forces in the Green Village at the support site for the mission in northeastern Syria."
The statement indicated that no US or coalition forces were killed or injured, and there was no damage to the infrastructure or equipment of the coalition.
The statement also confirmed that "US forces found rocket debris at the point of impact" and that "US forces in northeastern Syria are investigating this incident, and there are no claims of responsibility at this time."
Colonel Joe Buccino, spokesperson for US Central Command, said that "rocket attacks of this kind put coalition forces and civilian populations at risk, and undermine the stability and security that have been hard-won in Syria and the region."
