[The Peninsula] The Taliban have launched a violent campaign to disrupt this weekend's presidential election in Afghanistan, but in a restive eastern corner of the country they are paying villagers to surrender their voting cards.
Residents in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province, which lies on the border with Pakistain, said local Talibs have been offering voters 500 Pak rupees - the equivalent of just over $5 - to opt out of the election.
"At first we thought the Taliban were trying to trick us and wanted to find out who had voter cards, but later we found out that they were honest and paid money," said Ahmad Shah, a youth in a village just outside the city of Jalalabad. The Taliban did not respond to a request for comment.
Today's election will bring the first democratic transfer of power in war-torn Afghanistan and an end to the rule of President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... , who has led the country since the ouster of a Taliban regime in late 2001. The Taliban have branded the election a Western-backed sham.
The Independent Election Commission has said at least 10 percent of polling stations will not be able to open due to the threat of violence, the majority of them in the east where the Death Eaters are most active.
"When the Taliban are in control and warn people not to vote, and instead pay money for your voter card, it's not a bad thing," Haji Khan Wali, another man in the village, where the Pak rupee is more commonly used than the local currency, the Afghani.

More likely they want to duplicate the cards, and need a few to copy.

The Taliban are correct. We all know voter cards and ID's are racist and tend to suppress the vote.

According to news reports from Gedo, intense clashes erupted today between the Ethiopian-backed Somali National Army against Al-Shabaab in the region.
The fight was provoked as the troops were leaving Garbaharey en route to Baladxaawo, and Al-Shabaab staged an ambush whilst they were passing along the main road leading to the town. The battle went on for hours and until now there have been no reports of the casualties caused as we were unable to establish contact with Federal Government officials in Gedo.
Usual gun sex rules apply to casualties...

The Commander of the Somali National Army in the Hiiraan region Osman Abdi Mumin stated to Radio Shabelle in Mogadishu that the troops defended themselves against an attack by Al-Shabaab on their military base on the outskirts of the Bulobarde district.
Mumin affirmed that the Somali National Army killed 4 soldiers and many more were wounded without the SNA sustaining any injuries.
Hiiraan is among the regions with towns and districts undergoing search crackdowns by co-allied African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) troops and Somali National Army. A string of towns have already been captured from the terrorist insurgents.

[Annahar] A suspected al-Qaeda attack on an army post in Hadramawt province in southeast Yemen on Friday killed eight soldiers and four myrmidons, military and local sources said.
"The attackers approached the position on board several vehicles and opened fire on the soldiers with different types of weapons, killing eight and wounding 11 more," the military source told Agence La Belle France Presse.
The officer in command of the position was among the dead.
He said the turbans targeted a post known as Hanine in the area of Al-Qatn town in the center of the vast semi-desert province.
Military reinforcements sent to the area came under fire from the turbans and an unknown number were maimed, a local administration official said.
He said four turbans were killed and several maimed, but the attackers took their dead and maimed with them when they withdrew.
Friday's was the second major attack by turbans on Yemeni troops army in three days.
On Thursday, al-Qaeda claimed a brazen assault on an army headquarters in a highly secure area of Aden the previous day.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is viewed by Washington as the deadliest franchise in the Death Eater network, and is the target of frequent U.S. drone attacks.
AQAP said Wednesday's attack on the Aden military complex killed "nearly 50 soldiers" and was part of its campaign to "target the joint operation rooms that manage the U.S. drones in the country".
A security official gave a corpse count of six soldiers, three civilians, 10 assailants and a jacket wallah from that attack.

Four Russian servicemen were killed and seven injured after a bomb hit their infantry combat vehicle in Chechnya, Russia's Interior Ministry said in a statement on Thursday. The soldiers were carrying out engineering reconnaissance near Yandi village, some 28 miles south-east of the regional capital Grozny, when their vehicle was blown up by a concealed explosive device, according to the statement.
[DAWN] Iranian soldiers captured by a turban group Jaish al-Adl near the Pak border in February have been freed, the rebel group and an Iranian official announced Friday.
However, ars longa, vita brevis... there was no indication of how many of the five border guards had been released after Jaish al-Adl, which operates in southeastern Iran, claimed last month to have executed one of them.
"The soldiers were handed over some hours ago by the small terrorist group Jaish al-Adl to Iranian representatives in Pakistain," said the Fars news agency, quoting an unidentified security official.
For its part, Jaish al-Adl announced the releases on its Twitter account.
"At the request of eminent Sunni holy mans in Iran, the Iranian soldiers held hostage have been freed and handed over to a delegation of holy mans," it said.
The movement said it killed a fifth member of the group of guards in March.
"Four of the five kidnapped Iranian border guards have been handed over to Iranian embassy officials in Pakistain," Fars quoted Iranian politician Esmail Kosari as saying.
"We are trying to get the body of the killed guard and return it to Iran," Kosari added, according to the report.
Fars did not give any details on when the release took place or what led up to it.
The release was yet to be confirmed by Pak authorities.
The five soldiers, who were serving their 24-month mandatory military service, were kidnapped in the restive southeastern province of Sistan-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... , where Iran has been confronting the Jaish al-Adl rebels.
Last month the group announced it had executed one of the five, Jamshid Danayifar, and warned of more executions to come unless Iran freed Sunni prisoners.
The Iranian authorities immediately denied the execution claim, insisting that all five soldiers were alive.
The guards are believed to have been taken into neighbouring Pakistain after being kidnapped on February 6 but the country's Foreign Office issued a denial statement condemning the incident.

[AnNahar] Violence across Iraq killed 17 people Friday while security forces killed another 15 forces of Evil in festivities south of Storied Baghdad, the latest in a surge of bloodshed ahead of parliamentary elections.
The shootings and bombings, which also maimed dozens more, came with campaigning in full swing for the April 30 election and with violence at its highest level since 2008.
The unrest has been principally driven by anger in the Sunni Arab community over alleged mistreatment at the hands of the Shiite-led government and security forces, as well as a spillover from the civil war in neighboring Syria.
Apart from the capital, Friday's violence struck in predominantly Sunni areas of Nineveh, Salaheddin and Kirkuk provinces to the north, and in Anbar to the west, while security forces engaged in a firefight with gunnies south of Storied Baghdad, security and medical officials said.
The festivities, which broke out during attempted raids of turban strongholds in Yusifiyah, Latifiyah and Jurf al-Sakhr, left 15 forces of Evil dead, while three members of the security forces were also killed.
Elsewhere, a jacket wallah killed an army captain and his son when he went kaboom! on the doorstep of the officer's home in Baiji, while bombings in Storied Baghdad and in the northern provinces killed six others.
Gunmen also rubbed out two anti-al-Qaeda forces of Evil in Salaheddin's capital Tikrit.
In conflict-hit Anbar, army shelling of the turban-held town of Fallujah killed two people, while festivities between security forces and anti-government fighters in lovely provincial capital Ramadi left two coppers dead.
Insurgents overran Fallujah and parts of Ramadi earlier this year.
While security forces have managed to wrest back control of most of Ramadi, Fallujah has been out of government control for about three months.
Militants also destroyed a bridge just north of the capital by setting off several bombs along it.
More than 2,300 people have been killed in Iraq so far this year, according to an Agence La Belle France Presse tally.
Diplomats have urged the government to reach out to the disaffected Sunni minority to undercut support for militancy.
But with the election looming, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and other Shiite leaders have been loath to be seen to make concessions.
Near-daily bloodshed is part of a long list of voter concerns that also include lengthy power cuts, poor wastewater treatment, rampant corruption and high unemployment.

The Philippine military confirmed that Al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf militants in Mindanao were behind the abduction of a Chinese tourist and a Filipina worker from a diving resort in Malaysiaâs island state of Sabah.
Military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Zabala identified one of the abductors as Murphy Ambal Ladra, a former member of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) who later joined the Abu Sayyaf on the island province of Tawi-Tawi in Mindanao.
Zabala said the military was also looking into reports that Ladra was a âloyalistâ of the MNLF founding chairman Nur Misuari blamed for the bloody and violent siege staged by the organizationâs ârogue elementsâ in Zamboanga City last September. He said Ladra was among the seven heavily-armed Abu Sayyaf militants who stormed a diving resort in Sabah late on Wednesday night and abducted the Chinese tourist and the Filipina worker.
Zabala said the military received initial reports that the abductors, using a speedboat, eluded pursuing Malaysian forces and brought the two victims to the town of Simunul in Tawi-Tawi. It's likely the abductors will eventually bring the victims to the neighboring island province of Sulu where the insurgents operate with impunity especially in the town of Patikul.

[AnNahar] A number of rockets fired from Syria landed in the Bekaa on Friday, reported the National News Agency, amid separate claims of responsibility by two turban groups.
NNA said that two rockets landed between the towns of al-Labweh and al-Nabi Othman.
One of the rockets went kaboom!, while the other did not.
The Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade grabbed credit for the shelling, saying it was a "response to what the 'non-Lebanese army' is doing against our people in the northern city 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... under Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... 's directions."
But around four hours later, the Damascus branch of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... turban group made a separate claim of responsibility.
"Two Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... were fired at the 'shabiha' of Hizbullah in the al-Labweh area in support of the oppressed of the Sunni community in Leb," the so-called "Damascus Prefecture" of the ISIL said on its Twitter account.
Earlier on Friday, the Brigade slammed the recently-implemented Tripoli security plan, saying that it "violates the sanctity of Mohammedans homes."
Bekaa towns, with a majority of Shiite population, have repeatedly come under rocket attacks by either rebels seeking to topple Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... 's regime or gunnies supporting them.
The Syrian troops loyal to Assad also continue to carry out air raids on Arsal, a majority Sunni town, which is an escape route for rebels and smugglers.

[AnNahar] Regime tanks and warplanes pounded besieged Mleiha east of Damascus on Friday, pressing a campaign to take control of the opposition-held town, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Syrian warplanes also raided a rebel-held district in the northern city of Aleppo, killing at least 11 people, and 22 were maimed when mortar rounds slammed into central Damascus, the monitor said.
In Mleiha at least eight fighters, including a rebel commander, were killed in fierce fighting with government forces, said the Britannia-based Observatory.
The previous day 22 opposition fighters were killed, said the Observatory which relies on medics and activists on the ground for its reports.
On Friday, regime warplanes launched at least four air raids on Mleiha, which like much of the Eastern Ghouta area east of Damascus has been under army siege for nearly six months.
Mleiha is near regime-held Jaramana, which is frequently shelled by the rebels, and on Thursday six children were killed in one mortar attack, according to state news agency SANA.
Activist Abu Saqr, speaking to Agence La Belle France Presse via Skype from the Ghouta region, said that Syrian regime troops have been trying to storm Mleiha for the past two days.
But the rebel Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... is blocking the offensive, he said.
The fighting has forced several families to flee to neighboring areas, he said, adding that "Iraqi militiamen" are backing the loyalist army. His comments could not be independently verified.
The army launched a campaign in March last year to crush rebel bastions in Eastern Ghouta and blockaded the area completely in October, leading to residents suffering from food shortages.
In Damascus mortar rounds rained down on two districts on Friday, wounding 22 people, said SANA which blamed "terrorists" -- the regime term for rebels.
Meanwhile the corpse count from air raids on the Aleppo rebel-held district of Shaar rose to 11, the Observatory said, after reporting only two killed.
Hundreds of people, mostly civilians, have been killed in air strikes on rebel areas in Aleppo since the regime launched a major aerial offensive on the northern city in December.
Clashes on Friday also rocked the coastal province of Latakia in western Syria as rebels pressed a two-week-old offensive in the heartland of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators... 's clan and his Alawite sect.
Fighting was particularly fierce over a strategic hilltop known as Observatory 45 which commands towns and villages inhabited by Alawites.
Rebels overran it last week, but the Syrian Revolution General Commission network of activists said regime forces managed to take the summit of the hill on Thursday and fighting was raging again.
More than 300 fighters on both sides have been killed in Latakia in the past two weeks, the Observatory says.
Among them was Moroccan jihadist Ibrahim Benchekroun, a former Guantanamo inmate who fought U.S. troops in Afghanistan after al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
Hurrah! Another book closed.
In northwest Syria, rebels took control of Babuleen and Salhiyeh in Idlib province, a year after regime forces had captured them, said the Observatory, adding that at least 18 troops were killed in the fighting.
The rebel advance helps tighten their siege on Wadi Deif army base, one of the regime's last significant positions in Idlib.

[AnNahar] Unknown assailants kidnapped on Friday a citizen in the Bekaa region of Riyaq before dropping him later in the day near his house.
"The abductee Ibrahim Shiha was dropped from an unknown car outside his house in Riyaq" on Friday evening, state-run National News Agency reported.
It quoted one of his relatives as saying that no ransom was paid to the kidnappers.
LBCI television said the man was "severely beaten" during his brief abduction.
Earlier on Friday, NNA said that the abductors, riding in a black Cherokee and a silver Mercedes, kidnapped Shiha, also known as Abou Marwan, from the Bekaa town of Riyaq.
The man is the owner of al-Amin restaurant.
The assailants collided with several vehicles on the road while carrying out the kidnapping, added NNA.
Geez -- the gang that can't drive straight.
Soon after the news of the abduction broke out, demonstrators blocked the Riyaq-Baalbek highway in protest against the incident.
Kidnappings for ransom have grown in frequency in recent months, the latest of which was the abduction of a child, Michel al-Saqr, from Zahleh.
He was kidnapped briefly, but released without ransom, said media reports.

[AnNahar] A woman who hails from the northern region of Akkar has been kidnapped while en route to the coastal city 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... , state-run National News Agency reported on Friday.
"Sawsan Abdul Haq, 43, who hails from the town of Hayzouq in Akkar, was kidnapped Thursday afternoon while on her way to the al-Rahma Dispensary in Tripoli's Bab al-Tabbaneh," NNA said.
"The kidnappers have contacted her family and asked for a ransom," the agency added.
The incident comes amid an unprecedented, strict security plan that security forces had started implementing Tuesday in Tripoli and the North with the aim of putting an end to around six years of unrest, especially in the Tripoli rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen.
[AnNahar] The Lebanese army will enforce in the upcoming hours a security plan in the eastern Bekaa valley following the successful implementation of the plan in the northern city 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... According to al-Joumhouria newspaper published on Friday, the military will deploy in northern Bekaa, in particular, on the outskirts of Arsal and the neighboring villages such as Labweh, Hermel and al-Qassr.
The army is strictly ordered to arrest vehicle theft gangs, which are suspected of selling stolen cars to faceless myrmidons seeking to carry out attacks in the country.
The army will also detain kidnap-for-ransom networks.
The endeavors come after the Bekaa town of Baalbek has witnessed a series of kidnappings for ransom and car robbery over the past year.
Security forces kicked off on Tuesday the security plan in Tripoli, seizing arms depots and detaining wanted suspects, who are involved in security chaos in the area.
Even in this deployment, top desperados fled -- or were allowed to flee after they were given a warning of the implementation of the plan.
The security plan is an important test case for whether Leb can reverse its slide into conflict, fueled by violent sectarian tensions triggered by the war next door in Syria, particularly between the country's Sunnis and Shiite Mohammedans.
Tripoli witnesses frequent gunbattles between two of the impoverished neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh, which is dominated by Sunnis who support Syrian rebels, and Jabal Mohsen, which is dominated by Alawites, who share the same sect as Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Supressor of the Damascenes... Leb's politicians are deeply divided over the Syrian war, and until February, the country was left without a government for nearly a year over it.
Last week, the cabinet tasked the army and security forces with seizing stockpiled arms and controlling the security situation in Tripoli and the eastern Bekaa Valley in areas bordering Syria.
The plan took into consideration the recommendations of the Higher Defense Council.

[AnNahar] State Security agents on Thursday thwarted an attempt to fire rockets at the northern Bekaa town of al-Nabi Othman, in the first such achievement by security forces in that region.
"State Security seized four rockets that were set to be fired from Arsal's outskirts towards al-Nabi Othman," LBCI television reported.
"Boxes of explosives" were found next to the rockets, it added.
The aforementioned town had come under several rocket attacks in recent months. Several people were killed or maimed by the falling rockets.
Al-Nabi Othman was also rocked by a suicide car blast that left two Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... members dead and several civilians maimed.
The attacks are usually claimed by Islamist groups, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... , the Marwan Hadid Brigades ...an al-Nusra element working the Syria-Leb border area... and al-Nusra Front in Leb.

[AnNahar] Turkey on Friday fired artillery into Syria to retaliate after cross-border shelling hit its territory without causing injuries or damage, the army said.
"Six shells hit in Yayladadi in Hatay province and caused no damage," said the Turkish armed forces in a statement.
"In accordance with the rules of engagement, Turkish artillery shelled the area where the fire originated."
Turkey, a staunch opponent of the Damascus regime, hosts about 800,000 refugees from the three-year-old Syrian conflict, many of them in camps along the border.
Turkish armed forces stationed along the Syria border often retaliate when munitions from fighting there hit its territory.
On March 23 Turkish F-16 aircraft shot down a Syrian fighter jet for a breach of Turkish airspace.
Turkey toughened its rules of engagement after one of its jets was downed by the Syrian air force in June 2012. Ankara warned that any military approach of the border from Syria would be seen as a threat.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels killed 18 soldiers and disabled two tanks in the fight for the northern town of Babolin. The rebel assault coincided with a two-week-old offensive further west in the coastal province of Latakia, where fighters seeking to overthrow him have seized a border crossing and several villages.
[Ynet] Syrian Arclight airstrikes killed at least seven people in a suburb of Damascus on Friday, as government troops battled rebels in several districts along the eastern edge of the capital, activists said.
