[ToloNews] Today marks the 10th anniversary of the killing of al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden ...... who is no longer with us, and won't be again...... by American special forces in 2011 in Pakistain, but the Afghan government says that the roots of the network are still alive in Afghanistan and the group still poses a threat to the country and the world and is collaborating with the Taliban ...Arabic for students... "Right now, al-Qaeda and Talib are not two different ideologic topics; they are beyond that as they have intermarried within their families," NDS chief Ahmad Zia Saraj said last week.
The question that arises is how can al-Qaeda pose a threat to Afghanistan and the world while its leader was killed ten years back?
"Al-Qaeda was not owned by bin Laden," said Atiqullah Amarkhil, a former military officer. "Al-Qaeda is still active in Afghanistan and anyone who says that we have eliminated al-Qaeda--they are lying."
The Afghan government sees the Taliban’s ties with al-Qaeda as a key challenge in the way of the grinding of the peace processor.

Hold On Now! When we (Mike Pompao)signed the surrender peace treaty with the Taliban, we were told that the Taliban was going to get rid of Al Qaeda.

Any place there is more than one moslem, there is potential for the usual moslem outrages.
Call it what you want. AlQaeda, Taliban, Al Shabaab, etc etc ad nauseam
Churchill, 'The River Wars' pgs 248-250.How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.
[LIBYAREVIEW] Egyptian Member of Parliament, Ahmed al-Awadi, the Head of the Parliament’s Defence and National Security Committee, called for dismantling the militias in Libya and the withdrawal of all forces obstructing the implementation of the ceasefire.
In press statements on Sunday, al-Awadi noted that the Libya file is one of the most "sensitive" files for Egypt, affirming that Libya’s security is an integral part of Egypt’s security. He added that the election of a new executive authority in Libya contributed to calming the situation in the country.
Earlier, Egyptian President Abdelfattah El-Sisi expressed his support for the new Libyan administration led by Prime Minster Abdelhamid Dbaiba. He pointed out that the Dbaiba’s government is making attempts to control the situation in Libya.

Three Israelis were wounded in a drive-by shooting in the occupied #WestBank, medics and the army say, with #Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz blaming “terrorists” for the attack.https://t.co/DNSbL7gHoJ
A host of other Palestinian militant groups have also published statements in support of today's shooting. One salafist-jihadi org called upon residents of the West Bank to destroy their surveillance devices in order to 'save the lives of the Mujahideen [who committed the act].' https://t.co/NPRbswjMJo

The explosions probably come with the territory, what with industrial fire-fighting and all. I'm not a pro fire-fighter, but I'm pretty sure that if your engines are catching fire you're doing it wrong.
Lot of infrastructure problems in Iran lately. Probably just coincidence.
