[The Daily Signal] Sharyl Attkisson / September 15, 2014
As the House Select Committee on Benghazi prepares for its first hearing this week, a former State Department diplomat is coming forward with a startling allegation: Hillary Clinton confidants were part of an operation to “separate” damaging documents before they were turned over to the Accountability Review Board investigating security lapses surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.
UPDATE: Hillary ClintonÂ’s chief of staff allegedly present at after-hours document review.
According to former Deputy Assistant Secretary Raymond Maxwell, the after-hours session took place over a weekend in a basement operations-type center at State Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. This is the first time Maxwell has publicly come forward with the story.
At the time, Maxwell was a leader in the State DepartmentÂ’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, which was charged with collecting emails and documents relevant to the Benghazi probe.

Conspiracy. Obstruction. If we had a congress with any balls, and an attorney general who wasn't a criminal conspirator himself, there would be charges filed and State dept & Clinton flunkies would be headed to jail.

Before anything like that could happen, Old Spook, we'd have to have someone arrest and hold accountable the President, every appointed official that's served in the O'bumble mis-administration, and half or more of both the House and the Senate. While I'd buy popcorn to watch it, it's just not going to happen. Da$$$t.

Maxwell, an ardent supporter of the Champ, goes to Champ with the basement story. Champ or Champ's people query the Beest, Maxwell is tossed under the Foggy Bottom bus and threatened with his pension. The FBI, with knowledge of the basement story sits quietly and obediently does nothing. Maxwell now successfully pensioned, goes to Attkisson, also a wounded former regime supporter. What do we need to know next ?

[Tolo News] Two missiles were fired into eastern Ghazni City's fourth district on Sunday morning, Ghazni Police Chief Zorawar Zahid said, adding that the attack did not leave any casualties.
Zahid said that investigations are currently underway to find the responsible parties for missiles launched.
No turban group has yet grabbed credit for the attack.
The news comes nearly two weeks after at least 20 people, including Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) were killed in Ghazni by a Taliban attack on the provincial police headquarters, the Afghan Crisis Response Unit (CRU) and the National Security Directorate (NDS) buildings.
The attack had injured 350 others and destroyed the provincial museum, library, the Directorate of Information and Culture and the Radio Television Center.

[AnNahar] Seven jihadists were killed in a shootout in Egypt's Sinai peninsula during a joint operation by police and the army, Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said Sunday.
The seven men were among "the most dangerous elements of Ansar Beit al-Maqdis" and had taken part in a July attack on a border post with Libya that killed 22 soldiers, he told a news conference.
The minister did not give a date for the operation.
Based in the northern Sinai, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has spearheaded attacks that have killed scores of coppers and soldiers since the army overthrew Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.
It says the attacks are to avenge the killing of pro-Morsi protesters by the army and police, a crackdown which has left at least 1,400 dead.
[AnNahar] Ugandan police said Sunday that 19 suspected Islamist Shabaab snuffies enjugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! in weekend raids had planned to carry out kabooms, as the U.S. embassy said the immediate threat had been "countered".
Police raids on Saturday came two weeks after Ugandan troops, fighting in Somalia, reportedly provided intelligence that helped U.S. special forces kill the Shabaab's chief in a devastating air strike.
"Al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... planned to carry out attacks in Kampala and other towns over the weekend, but police working with sister agencies stopped these attacks and we have recovered the explosives they were to use," police chief Kale Kayihura told AFP.
No details have been given of possible targets.
"We are interrogating 19 to see what leads we get to help expand the investigation," police front man Fred Enanga said, adding the suspects were found with "kabooms related to acts of terror", and their intentions "were very, very clear."
The U.S. embassy on Sunday lifted warnings to its citizens to stay at home, but said people should remain vigilant.
"Based on coordination with Ugandan authorities, and taking into account the heightened security measures the government has put in place, we believe that the immediate threat of an Al-Shabaab attack has been effectively countered," the embassy said in a statement.
"We remain vigilant to the possibility that some of the attack cell could still be on the lam."
[Dhaka Tribune] A Dhaka court has freshly indicted chief of banned Islamist outfit HuJI Founded in 1984 by Fazlur Rehman Khalil and Qari Saifullah Aktar. The Bangla branch was established in 1992 with assistance from Osama bin Laden. Recruits come mostly from Deobandi madrassahs. HuJI and Fazlur Rehman Khalil are signators of bin Laden's declaration of war on the west. Mufti Abdul Hannan and 13 others in the explosives case filed over blasting bombs during the Pahela Baishakh celebrations at Ramna Batamul in 2001.
Judge Shahed Nur Uddin of the Speedy Trial Tribunal 1 reframed the charges yesterday following a prosecution petition.
In the petition filed on August 7, special public prosecutor Abu Abdullah Bhuiyan mentioned that the HuJI men had earlier been charged in the case under a wrong section of law.
After the framing of charges under sections 3 and 6 of the Explosive Substances Act, the court has fixed September 21 for further trial of the case.
So far, seven witnesses have testified in the case. The court said on September 21 it would decide on whether to recall the seven witnesses or continue deposition of the other witnesses.
On April 16, 2009, the then metropolitan sessions judge ANM Bashir Ullah framed the charges under section 26 of the Special Powers Act and section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act.
As per the two sections of the Explosive Substances Act, if found guilty, the accused would be handed down death penalty. Of the 14 accused, nine including Mufti Hannan are in jail while the rest on the run.
In the killing case lodged over the same incident, a Dhaka court on June 23 handed down death penalty to eight HuJI members, including Hannan, and sentenced six others to life imprisonment.
Later the prosecution filed a petition to reframe the charges upon a Supreme Court directive in the case which was sought in 2009.
Ten people were killed and scores injured in the blast on April 14, 2001 while cultural group Chhayanaut was performing at the Bangla year celebrations. Two cases were filed with the Ramna police -- one for murder and the other for possession and use of explosive substances.
The Criminal Investigation Department pressed charges on December 30, 2008 in both the cases. The other accused are Arif Hasan alias Suman alias Abdur Razzak, Maulana Akbar Hossain alias Helal Uddin, Alhaj Maulana Md Tajuddin (absconding), Hafez Jahangir Alam Badar (absconding), Maulana Abu Bakar alias Hafez Selim Hawlader (absconding), Mufti Shafiqur Rahman (absconding), Mufti Abdul Hye (absconding), Hafez Maulana Yahiya, Maulana Shawkat Osman alias Sheikh Farid, Maulana Sabbir alias Abdul Hannan, Maulana Abu Taher, Shahadat Ullah alias Jewel and Maulana Abdur Rouf.
Mufti Hannan is facing charges in 24 other cases. In his statement made on November 19, 2006, he said they had carried out the attack since the programme was "anti-Islamic."

sadly the authorities are doing nothing about targeting islamist fascism.
nothing at all
haven't even put hizb ut tahrir on the banned terror groups list
instead they want to destroy the rule of law and civil liberties, leaving islamist fascists untouched
[DAWN] As Operation Zarb-e-Azb ..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)... continues in the restive North Wazoo Agency, at least three security personnel were killed and two others injured on Sunday as Spinwam Security Fort came under myrmidon attack.
Official sources say that scores of rockets were fired on the fort which caused both human and material loss.
Military authorities confirmed that one of the rockets fell into the fort, resulting in the death of three security personnel while two others were maimed. Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) is yet to issue an official statement on the attack.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... expressed deep grief and sorrow on the death of three security personnel .In a statement issued from the Prime Minister House, the premier said the sacrifices of the armed forces for security of the country would not go in vain. He also extended condolences to the families of the slain soldiers.
Military operation Zarb-e-Azb was launched by the Pakistain Army on June 15 following a brazen myrmidon attack on 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... 's international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) negotiators.
Earlier on September 3, a statement issued by the military put the official number of holy warriors killed in operation at 910 and that 82 Pak soldiers had also bit the dust during the offensive.
The corpse counts and their breakdowns could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the restive tribal region.

Would it mean I'd no longer have to put up with your mindless, repetitive, hit-the-F5-macro prose, Hemingway? Don't you wish you were a Writer?
I did mention "mindless"? And "repetitive"? How about "lame"? No? Well, add that to the mix.
You mention "Moslems" a lot. A lot. I did say "a lot," right? It's almost like like a fetish with you. Like "stinky boots" and "mustaches" and "fly whisks" and "butts in the air." Nothing about "fezzes", though. Or leather chaps. Why?
You did mention a "jeep" once or twice. And "nurses." I guess you'd just seen a M*A*S*H episode.
Ever been to the Mid-East, Hemingway? Oh, that's right - it was "Veet-nam" for you. As a Marine. Supposedly. Or was it "Pakistan"? No, that one was dredged out of the history books. Repeatedly. I don't know where your information on "Egypt" came about. Don't want to know, either.
I guess we should be grateful it isn't the psuedo-Ian Fleming slasher-porn prose you used to throw against the wall as Angleton9. At least Fleming had beautiful girls in his stories. With you, we get "goats" and "looking through stuff" for loose change.

[ARABNEWS] Islamic State Lions of Islam publicly executed eight Sunni men in a small northern Iraqi village at the weekend for allegedly plotting against the group, an eyewitness from the village told Rooters on Sunday.
The killing began on Friday night when a pair of masked Islamic State gunnies openly murdered a police officer in Al-Jumasah village after the Lion of Islam group accused him of spying for the Kurdish and Iraqi military forces, the witness said.
The Islamic State fighters gathered local residents to watch the execution in the village, about 120 km north of Tikrit.
"Islamic State members said that this is the fate of anyone who opposes them," the witness said. "They presented as evidence CDs and copies of the man's correspondences with the security forces."
After the police officer was executed, a small gang opened fire in Dire Revenge™ on the house of an Islamic State officer. On Saturday morning, the witness said, 10 Islamic State cars drove around Al-Jumasah with two masked informants, who helped the fighters identify 10 people they suspected of attacking their member's house the previous night.
That evening, three were released and seven others -- all but one relatives of the slain policeman -- were executed.
New Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi hopes to convince Iraq's Sunni minority to rebel against Islamic State, but many remain deeply suspicious of the country's ruling Shiite elite.

I cant figure out why the media make such a fuss about ISIS...It is just muslims being muslims...carrying out since mohamed passed away,
following the prophet's instructions...i.e. robbery, rape and mass murder.
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] A woman believed to be a British medical student who left the UK in order to join ISIS has posted an image on social media of herself holding a severed head.
It's the thing all those jihadi tourists do, like going to Niagara Falls or the top of the Empire State Building, to show what brave Lions of Islam they are.
The woman, who goes by the Twitter name of Mujahidah Bint Osama, claims to be a doctor for the terror group based in Raqqa, Syria.
In the image, which was used as her profile picture but has since been removed, she can be seen wearing a full burka and white lab coat while holding the head of a man.
To the left of the image, two children can be seen standing beside her.
Her name reflects her jihadi convictions, with Mujahidah appearing to be the female version of mujahadid - meaning soldier of God.
Bint translates as 'child of', while Osama likely references the late Osama bin Laden ... who doesn't live anywhere anymore... The gruesome image appears alongside the message 'Dream job, a terrorist doc,' followed by images of smiley faces and love hearts.
According to The Sunday Telegraph, she is a 21-year-old British medical student.

[MIRROR.CO.UK] Islamic State forces of Evil have released footage claiming to show the beheading of British hostage David Haines.
The aid worker, 44, was captured by ISIS in Syria in March 2013.
The plight of the dad-of-two was revealed when he appeared at the end of a video showing the beheading of US journalist Steven Sotloff earlier this month.
ISIS had threatened to kill Mr Haines if world leaders do not bow to their demands.
Tonight, the gunnies posted a new video lasting 2minutes and 30 seconds which appears to show the beheading of David Haines.
At the end of the video, ISIS parade another hostage.
The forces of Evil have not responded to any of the family's attempts to make contact so far, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said.

[Times of IS] Israel's air force commander gave an apparently unintended insight into his priorities and preoccupations, when he remarked during comments about the defense budget that Israel might need to send its attack planes to Tehran at very short notice.
Speaking about the imperative for the government to allocate additional funding to the armed forces, Israel Air Force chief Major-General Amir Eshel declared that "there's no one in this room who'd be prepared to ride in a car as old as our planes. I'm telling you, no-one. Yesterday these planes were in Gaza, and tomorrow we may send them to Tehran." The remarks were not delivered in the tone of a threat, but rather as a statement about a possible mission that would require up-to-date equipment.
[IsraelTimes] A man was caught attempted to infiltrate Israel from the Gazook border on Sunday morning, near Kibbutz Kissufim, which lies due east of the central Gazoo strip.
The man was spotted by an IDF lookout and was then apprehended by an army patrol and taken in for questioning. He was found in possession of a knife, Channel 10 reported.
There have long been individuals sporadically attempting to enter the country from Gazoo. The 50-day Israel-Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, war of this summer saw the discovery of a vast network of tunnels from Gazoo into Israel, intended to be used for large-scale terror attacks.

[Iran Press TV] At least 19 people have been killed in shelling in Syria's northeastern province of Hasakah amid fierce festivities between Kurds and the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... ISIL murderous Moslems.
The shelling took place in Hajiyeh and Tal Khalil villages, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Sunday, adding that five children were among the dead.
The fatalities came as the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) has gained ground in its fight against the ISIL, capturing a string of villages around the murderous Moslem stronghold of Tal Hamis, which is strategically important due to its closeness to the main Kurdish city of Qamishli.
According to the SOHR, the ISIL turbans use "all kinds of shells" to target opposing positions in the festivities.
The UK-based group earlier reported Arclight airstrikes by the Syrian air force against ISIL targets in Hasakah late Saturday and on Sunday morning.

[AnNahar] A Syrian air strike on an Islamic State (IS) training camp in the jihadist-held east killed 17 murderous Moslems and a child, a monitoring group said in a new toll Sunday.
The Saturday strike hit dormitories in the camp in the Euphrates valley town of Tibni in Deir Ezzor province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The child who was killed had been visiting his elder brother who was training with IS, the Observatory said.
Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Scourge of Qusayr... 's regime has stepped up its air campaign against the jihadists in recent weeks, carrying out near-daily air strikes against areas under their control.

There have been no U.S. strikes so far but Obama's announcement, which was made in defiance of the Syrian government, drew protests from Damascus and its Iranian and Russian allies.
