[Al Jazeera] At least 14 people have been killed and more than 40 maimed in a suicide kaboom near Kabul's international airport that struck minutes after Afghan Vice President Rashid Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... returned to the country from more than a year in exile, police said.
Kabul police front man Hashmat Stanekzai said the blast on Sunday went off near the main airport entrance, where supporters had been waiting to greet Dostum as his motorcade passed on its way to the city centre.
Dostum, who was travelling in an armoured vehicle, was unharmed in the blast, which was claimed by the 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS, also known as ISIS) group.
"The blast happened right after Dostum's convoy left the airport," said Stanekzai.
Civilians, including a child, and security force members were among the casualties, according to Najib Danish, interior ministry front man.
He added that the jacket wallah was identified by police but he detonated his explosive vest before he could be safely apprehended.
Dostum's return
Dostum, who is linked to a number of of human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... abuses in Afghanistan, was mobbed like a celebrity as he left the chartered plane from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... where he has lived since May 2017.
Dostum's triumphant return was in stark contrast to the outrage he faced after reports in 2016 that his guards had seized political rival Ahmad Eshchi and subjected him to beatings, torture and violent sexual abuse.
He denied Eshchi's accusations but, amid international demands that he face justice to show that powerful politicians were not above the law, he left the country in May last year, saying he needed to seek medical treatment in Turkey.
On Saturday, Ghani's front man said accusations against Dostum would be dealt with by independent legal authorities.
Once referred to as a "quintessential warlord" by the US State Department, Dostum has long been accused of serious human rights abuses.
Shortly after the US-led campaign in 2001, he was accused of killing Taliban ...Arabic for students... prisoners by leaving them locked in airless cargo containers. He has denied the accusations.

[PRESSTV] Two Paleostinian scientists have been found dead in an apartment in Algiers, says the Paleostinian Embassy in Algeria.
Suliman al-Farra, 34, and Mohammed Albana, both from Khan Younis in the Gazoo Strip, were found dead in an apartment on Sunday.
Based on preliminary findings, the pair either died of gas inhalation or due to electrocution from a short circuit.
Paleostinian reports claim the two scientists were assassinated.
A local news agency in Gazoo said that "the death occurred two days ago and was discovered by incident on Sunday evening after the neighbors smelled the smell of gas scattered in the building."
It also noted that police found one of the corpses near the door, while the other found in the bed.
"We don’t have any more details, I expect the authorities in Algeria and the Paleostinian embassy there to do everything necessary to understand what happened," said Albana's brother.

[DAWN] The man who blew himself up at a Mastung election rally on July 13 and killed nearly 150 people, including Balochistan Awami Party candidate Siraj Raisani, was a student at a seminary in Karachi before being shifted to Afghanistan along with his family, where he got militancy training, it emerged on Friday.
The alleged suicide bomber has been identified by authorities as Hafeez Abbasi, a young man in his early 20s.
Sources in the Sindh police’s Counter-Terrorism Department told Dawn that their counterparts in Balochistan had shared with them a preliminary report of the suicide explosion and they carried out further work here.
The CTD-Quetta had provided fingerprints of an unclaimed body to the CTD-Sindh to match it with the record of the National Database and Registration Authority. It transpired that the alleged suicide bomber was a resident of Gharibabad Mohalla in Dhabeji, Thatta.
A special CTD team was immediately sent there on July 17 and to their utter surprise, his father, Mohammed Nawaz, without any hesitation told them that his son Hafeez had been shifted to Afghanistan’s Spin Boldak area.
Three sisters, two brothers living in Afghanistan
Mr Nawaz, who is living with another son, Haq Nawaz, in Thatta also told the CTD team that not only Hafeez but his wife, his two other sons and three daughters had also been shifted to Afghanistan.
The family originally hailed from Molia village in Abbottabad.
They said that Abbasi had studied at a seminary in Shah Faisal Colony for three years where he adopted the path toward militancy. His certain colleagues at the seminary were instrumental in motivating him towards militancy and they allegedly sent him to Afghanistan.
The sources disclosed that as per information provided by his father, his three daughters, who had been shifted to Afghanistan, were ‘Alima’ (religious scholars) and two of them had married IS militants there.
His two more sons, Abdul Aziz and Abdul Shakoor, were also living in Afghanistan, they said, adding that Shakoor recently told his father that now “it’s his turn” to become a suicide bomber, said the sources.
Abbasi’s eldest sister was married and lived with her family in their hometown in Abbottabad.
The suspected bomber’s father along with his son used to sell milk and vegetables in the Dhabeji area.
The CTD sources said that the father did not show any remorse or express any feeling of sadness when they informed him that his son had carried out a suicide attack in the Mastung rally.
Links with former Karachi TTP chief
The father told the CTD that Abbasi was working with Haji Daud there.
A CTD official told Dawn, on the condition of anonymity, that Haji Daud, also known as Daud Policewala, was a policeman in Karachi till mid-2000. He was also appointed as the city chief of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) by now slain Mullah Fazlullah.
The official said they got reports that Haji Daud had developed differences with Mullah Fazlullah as he joined the militant Islamic State group. He was also reportedly injured in a clash with TTP militants there.
The sources said that the CTD officials got the mobile phone number of Hafeez from his father and by using latest technology they came to know that he had arrived in Chaman from Afghanistan on June 29.
He was also in touch with at least nine persons, including three belonging to Sindh, they added.
The alleged bomber was later moved to Qila Abdullah and subsequently to Mastung, where he had carried out the suicide attack on Siraj Raisani’s election rally.
The CTD-Sindh informed their counterparts in Balochistan about Abbasi’s alleged handler in Qila Abdullah and his local facilitator in Mastung.
Important arrests made
In Karachi and Thatta, the sources added that law enforcement agencies conducted raids and made “some important arrests”.
A CTD official feared that Abbasi’s younger brother Shakoor, who is a teenager, might carry out a terrorist attack.
The official, who wished not to be named, told Dawn that they had arrested some members of the IS network in Karachi.
He added that concerted efforts were under way to ‘dismantle’ the group before it could strike again in the country.
The CTD official believed that IS was “actively flourishing and being patronised by foreign intelligence agencies” in Spin Boldak “to sabotage the election process, trigger destabilisation in the country and to mainly target CPEC [China-Pakistan Economic Corridor- related activities”.

[IsraelTimes] The site has been bombed by Israel in the past and the US accuses Syria of producing sarin gas there; hours before attack PM vowed to keep hitting Iranian presence in Syria
Some photos and video at the link, though I'm not sure they're very informative.
Israeli jets reportedly carried out a strike Sunday on a missile production facility in northwest Syria that observers say was supervised by Iranians. In the past, the site was allegedly used to produce and store chemical weapons.
"One of our military positions in Masyaf was the target of an Israeli air aggression," Syria’s official news agency SANA said quoting a military source. Hebrew media quoted Syrian opposition officials as saying that several Hezbollah members were killed, but the reports could not be confirmed. SANA said the strikes cause only "material damage."
[IsraelTimes] Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",-run health ministry says 2 maimed in strike, the first in the Strip since massive Israeli bombardment on Friday after killing of soldier
An Israeli aircraft fired at a group of Paleostinians launching incendiary balloons into southern Israel from the northern Gazoo Strip, the army said, breaking two days of relative calm along the border.
The Hamas-run Gazook health ministry said two people were maimed in the strike. It listed the injuries as light to moderate.
An incendiary balloon was discovered earlier in the day in the Eshkol region, though it did not start a fire.
As of 8:45 p.m., there had been no fires in southern Israel sparked by airborne arson devices from Gazoo, according to a spokesperson for the Fire and Rescue Services southern division.
Earlier Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israel would react harshly to any violence coming from Gazoo.
"We hit Hamas very hard over the weekend and ‐ if it proves necessary ‐ we will hit them seven-fold," Netanyahu said, according to a statement from his office
The Arclight airstrike was the first in Gazoo since Israel hit dozens of Hamas targets on Friday, though tanks struck a pair of observation posts Saturday in response to an attempt to breach the border and an incendiary balloon launch.
The Israeli bombardment came after a Paleostinian sniper rubbed out an IDF soldier, Staff Sgt. Aviv Levi, 20, along the security fence surrounding the coastal enclave ‐ the first Israeli killed in an attack from Gazoo since the 2014 war.
Four Paleostinians were killed ‐ three of whom were acknowledged as Hamas fighters.
Israel said it has no interest in engaging in another war with Hamas, but said it will no longer tolerate the group’s campaign of flying incendiary devices into Israel.
Earlier Sunday, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman announced that Israel was prepared to remove the punitive economic measures it put in place earlier this month in response to these "fire kites and balloons," if the Gazoo-ruling Hamas terror group stopped the airborne arson attacks.
"Yesterday was one of the calmest days, perhaps, since March 30," Liberman said. "If that situation continues today and tomorrow as it was yesterday, then, on Tuesday, we will revive the regular procedures and also expand the fishing zone to what it was before."
The defense minister made his comments at the Kerem Shalom Crossing, the only Israeli crossing for commercial goods into and out of the Gazoo Strip, which has been closed to everything but shipments of food, medicine and occasionally fuel since July 9.
Liberman stressed that calm also meant an end to months of kites and balloons carrying Molotov cocktails over the border fence from the Paleostinian enclave to burn Israeli farming land.

Gotta love the impartial press -- the Israelis broke the calm, after defending themselves from an incendiary attack and a sniper shooting a soldier. The Gazoos never, ever start the violence, do they?

[Mindanao Examiner] Philippine troops killed a top communist leader in a gun battle that left 2 soldiers injured in Zamboanga del Norte, an army spokesman said Thursday.
Military spokesman Ronald Suscano said Edwin Lapinig, commander of the New People’s Army in Western Mindanao, was killed in Sindangan town where police commandos, backed by soldiers were trying to arrest him on Wednesday. Lapinig opened fire on security forces which triggered the gun battle. No soldiers or policemen were killed or wounded in the firefight, said Suscano, who called the slain rebel commander a “notorious terrorist leader.”
Security forces tracked down Lapinig’s hideout after a long intelligence operation. The militant leader was also tagged as behind the killing of two soldiers and the disarming of policemen in Don Victoriano Chiongbian town in the neighboring province of Misamis Occidental, and the series of arson attacks on construction sites in Zamboanga Peninsula.
[PhilStar] Five Abu Sayyaf bandits and a Philippine soldier were killed in two separate encounters in Sulu on Thursday.
Military spokesman Gerry Besana said four followers of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Almujer Yaddah were killed and four other rebels injured in the clash with soldiers at the boundary of Barangays Tanum and Liang in Patikul town. Joint Task Force Sulu commander Divino Rey Pabayo said, "We lost one soldier... Two others who were wounded were evacuated to the Camp Teodulfo Station Hospital based in Jolo."
Another clash, in which another rebel was killed, occurred between troops and the group of Almadjan Sahidjuan, alias Apoh Mike, in Barangay Tabu-Bato, Maimbung.
The military has intensified its operations against the Abu Sayyaf after six kidnap victims rescued by the military on Tuesday revealed that they were with two other hostages when they were held captive in Sulu for 20 days. The rescued victims said they were with Jelster Ed Tiu Quimbo, the son of Labason town Mayor Eddie Quimbo, who was kidnapped in March last year, and coconut farmer Jose Duterte, who was seized along with his wife Jessica in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte last year.

[ALMASDARNEWS] According to the Hmeymim airbase representative, one drone approaching the military facility was terminated on Saturday and the second one ‐ on Sunday morning.
"On Saturday, July 21, 2018, at nightfall, the Russian air defense at the Hmeymim airbase detected an unidentified small-sized air target (UAV) at a considerable distance approaching the Russian military facility. The aerial target was destroyed by the Russian airbase’s standard anti-aircraft guns. On Sunday morning, July 22, 2018, the air defense destroyed at long range another unknown UAV that was approaching the Hmeymim airbase from the northwest," the report said.
There were no casualties or material damage in both cases and the Russian air base is operating as normal, the representative added.
Only a day before this statement, the Russian military mentioned an unidentified drone, which had been destroyed by air defenses.

[Al Jazeera] Troops loyal to Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs... have recaptured a string of villages straddling the southern provinces of Deraa and Quneitra as they edge closer to a 1974 demilitarised zone with Israel.
The advancements come as more rebel fighters and their families departed southern Syria on Saturday as part of an evacuation deal reached with the government last week.
The first convoy of 55 buses, carrying some 2,800 people, arrived in northern Syria's opposition-held Idlib province on Saturday after rebels in Quneitra agreed to hand over medium to heavy weaponry and surrender the strategic area.
Another 48 buses left Quneitra on Saturday evening as part of the ongoing evacuations, with a final convoy expected to exit on Sunday before loyalist troops assume full control of the territory.
Footage emerged, however, of one of the convoys being stopped by Iranian-backed groups near Homs.
Sources told Al Jazeera the fighters pointed their guns at the buses and asked that the drivers stop the vehicles.
Syrian forces, backed by a Russian air campaign, have been pushing into the edges of Quneitra province following a relentless aerial bombardment campaign last month that routed rebels in adjoining Deraa province.
The Syrian army wants full control over Quneitra province where Israel has deep concerns over the presence of Iranian backed groups in the so-called Triangle of Death area
Western intelligence sources say the area is a bastion of Iranian-backed groups, including Leb's Hezbollah.
Israel signalled it would not impede the Syrian army presence in Quneitra as long as it steered away from the demilitarised zone, and said it will continue to escalate attacks along its frontier and elsewhere in Syria where it suspects Iranian-backed forces are stationed.
