[DAWN] The corpse count from a late-night suicide Taliban ...Arabic for students... attack in the Afghan capital rose to 16 civilians on Tuesday, with 119 people maimed, an official said. Angry Kabul residents climbed over the wall into the international compound, which has been targeted frequently, and set part of it on fire.
Thick black smoke rose from the Green Village, home to several international organizations and guesthouses and often a target of attacks ‐ a peril to nearby local residents as well.
Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid said the attack had destroyed rooms and offices of "invaders". "Enemy claims of civilian losses are false as no civilians were allowed close to the site of the attack," he said in a tweet.
The attack occurred just hours after Zalmay Khalilzad, the special US envoy for peace in Afghanistan, briefed the Afghan government on an agreement "in principle" with the Taliban that would see 5,000 US troops leave the country within five months.
Interior Ministry front man Nasrat Rahimi said some 400 foreigners had been rescued after the jacket wallah targeted the compound late on Monday. The blast occurred on the street outside and destroyed a number of homes.

[Libya Observer] The commander of Gharyan Protection Force Abdullah Kishlaf said Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... 's forces have been deploying fighters one more time to Urban town - 30 km to eastern Gharyan city.
Kishlaf told news hounds that the new movements by Haftar's forces are another attempt to retake the city, adding that Gharyan Protection Force is ready to foil any new attacks.
He indicated that the Presidential Council's government had provided them with more military assistance and backup and that the force has public support in the region, which will make it easier to thwart any new offensive.
According to different sources, armored vehicles and tanks as well as ammunition arrived in Urban town on Sunday to the hands of Haftar's forces who are positioned in there before a possible attack on Gharyan.
A source close to Haftar's forces command said Haftar had given orders for regaining control of Gharyan before October this year.
"One reason for that is reassuring Haftar's supporters that he is still strong and capable of winning the war; the second is that Haftar thinks the forces securing Gharyan are weak and thus his forces who come from the same area and know the region well can win control. While the third reason is Haftar's desire to control strength positions to have a better and tougher negotiations' position if the international community managed to resume the political process." The source said.
[Libya Observer] A patrol boat of the Libyan Coast Guard rescued 108 illegal immigrants colonists off the coast of Sabratha on Monday, Libyan Coast Guard said on Facebook.

The migrants colonists were taken to an immigration shelter in Zawiya city.
Last week, 65 migrants colonists have been rescued, while five other bodies were recovered by Libya's Coast Guard off the coast of Khoms city east of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... .

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Hungarian prosecutors said on Tuesday they had charged a 27-year-old Syrian man with terrorism and crimes against humanity committed as a member of ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... in 2015.
The man, identified only as F. Hassan, was charged with beheading and shooting people who refused to join ISIS in 2015 in Syria’s Homs region, the prosecutors said.
His lawyer was not immediately reachable by phone.
Prosecutors, who are seeking a life sentence, said the man made a "death list" of people who did not identify with ISIS' goals. With an unnamed accomplice, he beheaded a holy man and later with armed companions killed at least 25 more people, including women and kiddies, they said.
"According to the charges, F. Hassan ... took part in the execution of at least two people, and personally rubbed out another civilian," the prosecutors said in their statement.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Iranian army has recently conducted secret missions and will continue to do so, the commander of the Iranian army Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi said on Tuesday, reported the semi-official Mehr news agency.
"Some of the measures recently taken by the army were not reflected [in the media] for special security and intelligence reasons," said Mousavi, adding: "This trend will continue for some of the important and secret operations in order to protect the regime’s interests."
Conducting major operations "in anonymity and without propaganda" has more value, he said.
"The mere fact that we put our lives on the line against enemies and they feel our slap in their face is enough for us," Mehr quoted Mousavi as saying.

What are the rules of war in Syria these days? Seems like anybody can bomb anything they want any time they want. Good place to test your new weapons?
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Israeli Defence Forces confirmed Sunday that they were firing at targets inside southern Leb after a volley of anti-tank missiles had targeted an Israeli military base and vehicles near the border area.
"A number of anti-tank missiles were fired from Leb towards an Israel Defence Forces base and military vehicles. A number of hits have been confirmed. The Israel Defence Forces is responding with fire towards the sources of fire and targets in southern Leb," the IDF said in a statement.
The military has ordered Israeli civilians near the border with Leb to remain in their homes, and said shelters would be opened in the area.
Leb’s al-Mayadeen television reported that Hezbollah militia had destroyed at least one Israeli military vehicle near the border area. Hezbollah said the strike "killed and maimed those inside" the vehicle, according to al-Mayadeen.
The IDF said later Sunday that it had no casualties to report on the Israeli side, while over 100 targets had been struck inside Leb, including via fire from a helicopter gunship and artillery units.
The office of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri ...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011.

According to the prime minister’s office, Hariri had asked "the United States and La Belle France to intervene in the face of developments at the southern border."
Later Sunday, the Lebanese Army reported that Israel had launched over 40 missiles at targets across southern Leb, including the settlements of Maroun al-Ras, Aitaroun, and Yaroun. The projectiles were said to have caused fires in the area.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has been engaged in a fierce battle with the jihadist rebels in the northeastern countryside of Latakia these past ten days.
