Could be ISIS-K, could be rebels — we’ll probably never know. But at any rate, the US should not have an envoy there, and especially should not be fecklessly condoling with one set of terrorists over their deaths at the hand of another set of terrorists. Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[KhaamaPress] Thomas West, the U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan, condemned the recent suicide kaboom by ISIS-K against employees of the Attorney General’s Office. The attack, which occurred the day before, targeted officials working in Kabul and has been widely denounced by international observers.
West stated that there is "no justification for attacking innocent people,"
…anyone working for the Taliban is no innocent…
emphasizing the need for global condemnation of such violence. His remarks reflect a broader concern about the safety of civilians and the escalating violence in Afghanistan.
The U.S. representative expressed condolences to the families of the victims, acknowledging the tragic loss of life. His sympathy for the victims’ families is a stark reminder of the human cost of ongoing conflict and terrorism in Afghanistan.
ISIS-K grabbed credit for the deadly attack, which targeted employees of the former Attorney General’s Office. The group asserted that over 45 individuals were killed or injured in the earth-shattering kaboom. This claim highlights the ongoing threat posed by bad boy groups in the region.
According to the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... ’s Ministry of Interior, the attack resulted in at least six deaths, including one woman, and left 13 others injured. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... some sources within the Taliban have reported that the corpse count is 12. The discrepancy underscores the difficulties in obtaining accurate information amidst the chaos of such attacks.
ISIS-K stated that the jacket wallah waited for employees to exit through the main gate before detonating their explosive vest. This detail reflects the calculated nature of the attack and the group’s persistent intent to target key institutions.
The attack highlights the severe security challenges facing Afghanistan, as well as the broader international concern for the safety and well-being of Afghan civilians. Continued support for counterterrorism efforts and humanitarian aid will be essential in addressing these challenges and aiding recovery in the region.
Self-righteous, masturbatory nonsense. Israel’s war and possibly a subsequent court martial take precedence over anything America might want to do.
[POSTMILLENNIAL] Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Tuesday that the Justice Department has charged six senior Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... leaders with terrorism, murder conspiracy, and sanctions-evasion counts.
According to a blurb from the DOJ, those charged are Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... , Yahya Sinwar, Mohammad al-Masri, Marwan Issa, Khaled Meshaal, and Ali Baraka. "The defendants charged in the complaint are all big shots of Hamas who have orchestrated, overseen, and supported Hamas’s decades-long campaign of terrorism, including the October 7 Hamas Massacres," the blurb stated.
The six senior Hamas leaders were charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization resulting in death, conspiracy to provide material support for acts of terrorism resulting in death, conspiracy to murder US nationals, conspiracy to bomb a place of public use resulting in death, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction resulting in death, and conspiracy to finance terrorism, conspiracy to violate the international emergency economic powers act.
Haniyeh was the chairman of Hamas’s Politburo, the terrorist organization’s political branch, from 2017 until "his reported death on or about July 31." He was previously the deputy chairman of the Politburo and the leader of Hamas in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip. Sinwar, also known as Abu Ibrahim, is the leader of Hamas, and "previously, beginning in approximately 2017, he was the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and is one of the founders of the al-Qassam Brigades."
Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif and al Khalid al-Deif, held the position of commander in chief of the al-Qassam Brigades from around 2002 until his reported death on or about July 13. Issa, also known as Abu Baraa, held the position of deputy commander of the al-Qassam Brigades from around 2007 until his reported death on or about March 10.
Meshaal, also known as Abu al-Waleed, served as chairman of Hamas’ Politburo between approximately 2004 and 2017 and now serves as the head of Hamas’ diaspora office, "effectively responsible for Hamas’ official presence outside of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank." Baraka has led Hamas’ National Relations Abroad since around 2019 and previously served as Hamas’ representative in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... "The charges unsealed today are just one part of our effort to target every aspect of Hamas' operations. These actions will not be our last. The Justice Department has a long memory. We will pursue the murderous Moslems responsible for murdering Americans and those who illegally provide them with material support for the rest of their lives," Garland said.
The Attorney General said in a statement, "The Justice Department has charged Yahya Sinwar and other big shots of Hamas for financing, directing, and overseeing a decades-long campaign to murder American citizens and endanger the national security of the United States."
Idiot. The targets weren’t American, except incidentally. The targets were Israelis of all faiths and none, and those who dare to support Israel. The Times of Israel adds:
The impact of the case may be mostly symbolic given that Sinwar is believed to be hiding out in tunnels underneath Gaza and at least three of the other defendants named by the Justice Department are thought to have been killed. But US officials say at least one person, whom they did not name, is expected to be brought to New York for prosecution.
Pakistan’s ISI cultivated jihadis pretty much since Pakistan's founding as a deniable instrument of state. Now they’re paying the price, poor darlings.
[KhaamaPress] Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) reported an increase in terrorist attacks across Pakistain in August compared to the previous month, with 84 individuals killed as a result of these attacks.
The institute, in its report released on Tuesday, September 3rd, stated that at least 166 others were maimed in terrorist attacks throughout Pakistain.
According to the report, 29 attacks occurred in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, 28 in 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... , and two others in Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... during the past month.
The Institute emphasized that during the past two months, 23 military operations aimed at clearing Lions of Islam have been conducted across Pakistain, resulting in at least 88 Lions of Islam and 18 security personnel killed in these operations.
The institute noted that most of these attacks were carried out by krazed killer groups such as the "Baloch Liberation Army," "Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain," "ISIS Khorasan," Lashkar-e-Islam ...a group of Islamic bandidos infesting Khyber Agency. It was headed by a former bus driver and eventually folded into the TTP... , and the group "Hafiz Gul Bahadur ...a member of the Madda Khel clan of the Uthmanzai Waziris. Educated in a Deobandi madrassa located in Multan, he is affiliated with the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) political party. Upon the formation of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in December 2007, he was announced as the group's overall naib amir under Baitullah Mehsud, who was based in South Wazoo, but has largely distanced himself from the TTP due to rivalries with the Mehsuds and disagreements about the TTP's attacks against the Pak state.. " in the provinces of Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
It urged Islamabad to develop an effective "anti-terrorism" strategy and enhance border security with Afghanistan and Iran.
Earlier, the Institute had stated that nearly a thousand military and non-combatants were killed in "terrorist" attacks across the country in 2023.
These developments underscore the ongoing challenge of terrorism in Pakistain, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to combat extremism and ensure national security.

Reporting from Karachi, Pakistan
June 12, 2024
The terrifying stories are sprawled across local newspapers and recounted in hushed tones at tea stalls and bus stands: another day, another brutal death during an armed robbery in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city.
Last Wednesday, a car mechanic was shot dead by muggers trying to steal his phone. The day before, robbers in two separate incidents killed a secondhand shoe seller who refused to hand over his phone and a businessman who had just withdrawn cash from a bank. A few days earlier, robbers killed a 27-year-old mechanical engineer, stealing his phone, cash and motorcycle.
Across Karachi, Pakistan’s economic powerhouse, the rate of violent crime has soared. That has created a sense that no place is safe in this metropolis of 20 million people, and led many to worry that the city is returning to its violent, chaotic past. The country’s president, Asif Ali Zardari, has called for a “large-scale operation” against the street criminals. “The fear of mugging hangs over you every time you step outside,” said Shamim Ali, 43, a factory worker who said he was mugged twice in recent months. “Criminals operate with brazenness in broad daylight.”
The number of reported homicides, extortion attempts and motorcycle thefts has nearly doubled this year compared with the same period last year, according to the government-backed Citizen-Police Liaison Committee. At least 58 people were killed in muggings in the first five months of 2024, nearly double the number in that period in 2023, police records show. Rights activists say the true toll of violent crime is most likely higher, as many victims are hesitant to report cases.
[IsraelTimes] Israeli authorities release figures on the polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain... vaccination push in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... that correspond to what the World Health Organization is saying.
The IDF’s Southern Command and the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories say that on Sunday, the first day of the campaign, approximately 86,683 people were vaccinated. Yesterday, approximately 74,346 people were vaccinated.
The World Health Organization in Gaza confirms that it has vaccinated over 161,000 children under 10 in the central Strip versus a projected 150,000.
The drive comes after an unvaccinated 10-month-old baby from central Gaza contracted polio and suffered partial paralysis, in the first case of the disease in the enclave in 25 years.
The drive is staggered across three geographic regions of Gaza, beginning in the central Strip on September 1-3, then in southern Gaza on September 4-6, and finally in northern Gaza on September 7-9.
The campaign, which involves two doses, aims to cover over 640,000 children under age 10 over the next nine days.

Why is Israel doing this if they are committing genocide? I would think they would be preventing the distribution of vaccines.
Ah, so they aren't really committing genocide. Got it.

First, children of Gaza were starving (with 500+ trucks of food per day).
Now they've polio (with 90% pop vaccinated).
Probability theory is Islamophobic?

If the IDF would swap their bombs and bullets with polio vaccine before use, they could commit genocide AND vaccinate the population. It's a Win-Win!
[GEOTV] Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... 's armed wing said that hostages would return to Israel "inside coffins" if military pressure continued, warning that "new instructions" had been given to the fighters guarding the captives if Israeli troops approached.
"(Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu's insistence on liberating the prisoners through military pressure instead of concluding a deal will mean that they will return to their families inside coffins," Abu Obeida, front man for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said in a statement.
"New instructions were issued to the mujahideen assigned to guard the prisoners regarding dealing with them if the occupation army approached their place of detention," he said, after Netanyahu earlier said the six hostages whose bodies were recovered at the weekend had been "executed".

[GEOTV] The United States on Tuesday called for urgency and flexibility to finalise an agreement between Israel and Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... for a truce in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

"There are dozens of hostages still remaining in Gaza, still waiting for a deal that will bring them home. It is time to finalise that deal," State Department front man Matthew Miller told news hounds.
Such a diplomat — born with a tin ear and all the subtlety of a maddened rhino, he’s a perfect fit with the big bosses in this administration. But don’t worry — Bibi will finalize it for you. Possibly even in time for the election.

[IsraelNationalNews] Minister Amichai Eliyahu on Tuesday morning called to strengthen Israel's deterrent power and rejected the claims that because of the government's conduct, hostages were killed in Gaza.
"We did not kill them, [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar killed them. You should have thought about it before you did the expulsion from Gush Katif, before you sold us peace with an olive branch. You voted for the Disengagement, you are to blame. The blood is on Sinwar but you are to blame for it - the lies you sold to the world are part of these things," Minister Eliyahu said in an interview with 103FM.
He emphasized, "We must restore the deterrent power of the IDF, which has been gravely damaged by the entire Disengagement process and even since the Oslo Accords. All this talk of 'peace now' is childish, and we have seen where it has led the country. We promise to make an effort to restore the deterrent power of the IDF, but it will not happen overnight."
"I try to imagine what would happen if we saw demonstrations in Gaza calling for Hamas to surrender - we would be pleased. When we look at the pressure on the Israeli side and how it is perceived by Sinwar, it worries me. The Left applauded the disengagement. I am not [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's defender, he has made many mistakes, and I also demonstrated against him," he emphasized.
Minister Eliyahu said that he supported the view that military control of the Philadelphi Corridor was essential to Israel's security. "The Philadelphi Corridor is critical so that we do not get more and more such terrible incidents. The release of the hostages will be achieved by massive and intensive pressure. All those who are fighting there are not fighting so that tomorrow we will return in surrender. I think we need to increase the pressure and we are pressuring Netanyahu. The last time we got a deal, it was as a result of military pressure. I opposed it because I understood where it would take us, to demonstrations that strengthened Sinwar, that half of our hostages would not return, that we were close to breaking Hamas and not introducing humanitarian aid. That approach should have continued."
"The right move is to apply intense pressure on Hamas, without strengthening it through the demonstrations. We must take over the Gaza Strip, hit them hard, and demand that they pay a heavy price. This means territorial space, that they pay with what hurts them, not us. They are not paying a heavy enough price today. [Defense Minister Yoav] Gallant's policy is not my policy. We are part of the government, but it is clear that the steps must be toughened up and that we should return to the policy that was in place before the first deal," he concluded.
