[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The story of Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, Supreme Leader of Taliban, is now getting close to that of Mullah Mohmmad Omar's, whose death was covered up for years.
Mullah Omar ... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality... had died at least two years before but Taliban were repeatedly rejecting the report and covering up the news until July 2015.
Taliban were even issuing statements and releasing messages to media under the signature of dead-Mullah Omar.
But after a splinter group of Taliban unveiled his death to media, the group's core committee "Quetta Shura ...Mullah Omar's command center, located in Quetta, that the Pak govt hasn't been able to find since its establishment in November, 2001. Honest... " also confirmed the news and majority of the committee's members appointed Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Masnour, deputy to Mullah Omar, as their Supreme Leader.
Now reports suggest that Mullah Akhtar Mansour received serious injuries in a clash with rival group close to Quetta city of Pakistain and later departed this vale of tears in the hospital. But Taliban reject the report adding up to the believe that Mullah Omar's vague myth might be repeated.
Rooters news agency quotes a senior Taliban capo as saying that Mullah Mansour has died and his deputy Sheikh Haibatullah Akhundzada is poised to take over the leadership.
"I personally believe Sheikh Haibatullah Akhundzada and the Emirate will announce his death at an appropriate time later," he said, employing the term the Taliban use to describe their movement. "I am hundred percent sure that Mullah Mansour is no more," he said.
A commander of the dissident group of Taliban under the leadership of Mullah Mohammad Rasoul also says that Mullah Akhtar Mansour is died.
However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... front man for the group that supports Mullah Akhtar Mansour call the report a "propaganda", the same term they used to reject the news of Mullah Omar's death before it was confirmed.
"Well, we are trying to locate him through our people to get his voice and release to the media to kill these rumors spread by the Afghan puppet government," Mujahid is quoted by Rooters as saying.

Reviving, in case you weren't sure:
"If you think that I died,
Feel this wound in my AIEEEE
Or this one in my SHUT THE BACK DOOR!"
Ajdabiya has seen yet another assassination today in which a Libyan army solder was gunned down outside a bank.
The victim, said to be a member of Al-Jawareh Brigade, was named as Musa Fakri. He was murdered outside the Wahda Bank. Local sources are blaming IS for the crime.
The succession of murders and kidnappings continues despite attempts by Ajdabiyah’s elders to bring them to a halt.
[AA.TR] The head of an al-Qaeda group has claimed joint responsibility for the Nov. 20 hotel attack in Bamako, Mali, which left 19 people dead.
Abdelmalik Droukdel ... aka Abdel Wadoud, was a regional leader of the GSPC for several years before becoming the group's supremo in 2004 following the death of then-leader Nabil Sahraoui. Under Abdel Wadoud's leadership the GSPC has sought to develop itself from a largely domestic entity into a larger player on the international terror stage. In September 2006 it was announced that the GSPC had joined forces with al-Qaeda and in January 2007 the group officially changed its name to the Al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb.... , leader of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, released a video late Friday sharing responsibility for the deadly attack with another bully boy group, al-Mourabitoun.
The leader of that group, Algerian Mokhtar Belmokhtar, pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda last May.
Friday's video also denied that the two organizations had pledged allegiance to Daesh [Islamic State], describing the group as their enemy.
Formed in 2013, al-Mourabitoun is active in northern Mali and Africa's Sahel region ... North Africa's answer to the Pak tribal areas... .

[FOXNEWS] Nigeria's intelligence agency says it has locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! nine alleged Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... murderous Moslems plotting attacks on Abuja, the capital, over the festive season.
Saturday's statement follows a warning Friday from the U.S. Embassy that murderous Moslems may be planning attacks on hotels favored by Westerners.
The Department of State Security says one of the nine men arrested was carrying out surveillance of a "high-profile hotel." It says all nine were detained in the past month and had infiltrated the capital in central Nigeria from the country's northeast where most bad boy attacks occur.
Boko Haram has claimed previous suicide and car kabooms that have killed hundreds in Abuja. Their suicide kabooms, village raids and kidnappings continue in the northeast.
Nigeria's 6-year Islamic uprising has killed 20,000 people and spread to neighboring countries.

A deadly attack took the lives of at least 27 people in Africa. A local market on the island of Koulfoua, in Chad was struck, according to the BBC and AP, injuring at least 90. A Chad police spokesman said three female suicide bombers carried out Saturday's attack.
The Lake Chad region straddles the borders of Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria. The area has been attacked repeatedly by the Boko Haram militant group, and the region is under a state of emergency.
As many as 17,000 people have been killed in the area since 2009, when Boko Haram began fighting authorities in a bid to impose Islamist rule in Northern Nigeria, reports the BBC.
The human rights organization Amnesty International says some 3,500 have been killed in the area so far in 2015. The Boko Haram group "continues to pose significant threat to the lives of civilians on an almost daily basis across northeast Nigeria and to the neighboring countries Cameroon, Chad and Niger," the group says.
The swampy maze of islands in these border areas has become one of the main targets by Boko Haram because they can hide easily in waterways, reports Reuters.

A man was stabbed in the ticket hall at Leytonstone station this evening by another man who witnesses say shouted "This is for Syria" as he slashed his throat. Another three are thought to have been injured.
'Thought' to have been injured? Either they were or they weren't. Why don't you figure it out, Mr. Reporter, and let us know?
Well, you know, machete wounds, they're kinda insubstantial...
Police said they used a taser on the suspect as he threatened others with a knife, before they managed to arrest him.
The victim was rushed to hospital in a serious condition with multiple stab wounds, paramedics said.
Frightened witnesses described how their normal Saturday night-out turned into a horror show. One said the victim was an "elderly" man with a younger female family member while another said the man had a long knife, which looked like a machete. A video taken by another witness shows a big pool of blood just outside the ticket barrier as police confront the attacker, then taser him before putting handcuffs on him and arresting him.
People who had just got off the Tube ran back onto the train in a bid to escape the attacker.
A Met Police spokesman said: "Police were called at 19:06hrs on Saturday, 5 December, to reports of a stabbing at Leytonstone underground station. The male suspect was reportedly threatening other people with a knife.
"Met officers attended the scene. A man was arrested at 19:14hrs and taken to an east London police station where he remains in custody.
"A Taser was discharged by one of the Met officers.
"Officers from British Transport Police are now dealing with the incident at the scene. We are aware of one man having sustained serious stab injuries. We await details of any other injuries."

[NEWS.YAHOO] Authorities in Argentina ...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... jugged Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! six Syrians who flew into the South American country on false Greek passports, a front man for the federal police told Rooters on Saturday, adding that the bogus travel documents were probably obtained in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... .
The six, including one minor, were taken into custody at a downtown Buenos Aires hotel on Friday after landing at the city's Ezeiza International Airport on Thursday, the front man said.
A spate of detentions in South and Central America over recent weeks show the region has become a route for Syrians fleeing war in their homeland.
Less than three weeks ago, five Syrian men who had paid smugglers $10,000 each to travel through Brazil, Argentina and Costa Rica were detained in Honduras as they tried to head north to the United States.
Those arrested on Friday were unarmed and charged only with using false travel documents, said the front man. A court hearing has been set for Wednesday, as Monday and Tuesday are public holidays in Argentina. The detainee under the age of 18 was undergoing psychological counseling.
"No more information will be released until they make statements before a judge," said the front man, who did not disclose the origin of the flight the Syrians took to Ezeiza.
"They are being very cooperative," he said.
The earlier cases sparked alarm among some U.S. politicians after it emerged at least one of the attackers involved in the deadly shootings and suicide kabooms in Gay Paree last month may have entered Europe among migrants registered in Greece.
In October Brazil detained eight Iraqi nationals who police said were traveling on false Greek passports they had obtained in Turkey. A trickle of immigrants also reach the U.S. land border from other countries fighting Islamist insurgencies.

CIZRE – At least three Turkish security forces were killed and several more wounded in clashes with rebels of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey’s Kurdish southeast, officials said on Saturday.
Two Turkish soldiers were killed and three others wounded when PKK rebels opened fire on their vehicle in the southeastern Kurdish town of Cizre near the Syrian border, according to army officials.
This coincided with a security operation by the Turkish troops in Cizre under the pretext of pursuing PKK affiliates in the town.
Also on Saturday, a Turkish police officer was killed and another wounded during clashes with PKK fighters in the Kurdish city of Diyarbakir, southeast Turkey.
The Turkish authorities have imposed a curfew on major towns and villages in the Kurdish provinces of Diyarbakir and Şırnak subsequent to clashes with the PKK rebels.
Violence resumed between Turkey and the Kurdish fighters of the PKK last July, breaking a two-year ceasefire between the conflicting sides that has been reached after negotiations between the Turkish government and the imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan. The PKK-Turkey conflict has claimed lives of more than 40,000 people over three decades.

[Boston Herald] President Obama is set to address the nation tonight from the Oval Office about how to defeat evolving terror threats and what investigators have learned about the bloodshed in San Bernardino, Calif. -- an attack that ISIS has claimed was carried out by two "supporters" of its caliphate. Stern lecture and NRA bashing at 8:00, Loretta Lynch in tow.
Obama, scheduled to speak at 8 p.m., is expected to reiterate his conviction that ISIS will be destroyed, the White House said, one day after he spoke to French President Francois Hollande, who offered the country his condolences for the California killings.

Tonight, live on national TV. Champ to jack off the loony left, alienate America's allies, encourage its enemies and blame Republicans for whatever is bugging him that moment. Again.
[Daily Caller] Rafia Farook, the mother of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook, is an active member of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a Muslim organization that promotes the establishment of a caliphate and has ties to a radical Pakistani political group called Jamaat-e-Islami.
Farook's affiliation with ICNA was revealed on Friday when MSNBC and other new outlets scoured the Farooks' apartment in Redlands, Cal. An MSNBC reporter found a certificate of appreciation presented to Safia Farook last summer by ICNA's sisters' wing. ICNA Web Site and fund raising venue.

I don't think they paid much attention during the background checks to purchase those firearms. Whomever did the background checks for the FBI or ATF should be talking to Congress right now.
[AP] SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) -- The latest on the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California (all times local):
The FBI has not said what it was looking for in a raid early Saturday at the home next door to where San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook's family used to live in Riverside, California.
Neighbors say authorities with guns drawn broke windows and used a cutting torch to get into the garage. A neighbor says an old friend of Farook's is the person that lives in the house.
A law enforcement official says that more than three years ago, that person bought two assault rifles later used in the shooting, but authorities haven't been able to talk to him because he checked himself into a mental hospital after the attack.
Since when does that stop law enforcement?
The official was not allowed to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The FBI has said the man is not a suspect in shootings, though they want to question him.

fbi did not go in to search for anything but wanted to 'assist' the media in accessing the pal's stuff you know for background material and such.....

My understanding is the FBI found a butt load of ammo and a "stockpile" of weapons in the house in Redlands.
I bet there are more people out there like this guy, buying a weapon as a favor for a friend.
I guess this is how ole Farook stayed dark on the law enforcement radar.

Friends and family are at the "we disavow any knowledge of his actions" phase of the operation.
Still this bit was from 3 years ago, and before Farook & wife met. I wonder if loony-bin guy, having done a longtime friend a solid back in the day, is now shocked and suicidal at the eventual result. Who knows? Who cares?
The FBI will absolutely prosecute the gun as a straw purchase.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. ‐ FBI agents early Saturday raided the home of a man believed to have purchased two military-grade rifles used in this week's deadly rampage in San Bernardino, CA. The FBI is now working to determine whether the man, a former neighbor of one of the attackers, had any knowledge of the plot. The raid targeted Enrique Marquez, who is thought to have bought the two military-grade rifles used in the attack. Marquez, who has not been charged with a crime, has checked himself into a nearby mental health facility. An NPR radio report I heard a little of on Saturday, mentioned this suspect was too emotionally upset to give much of value to the investigators, although it didn't say the man had checked himself into anything. Sure hope the security is good there.
Since when can law enforcement not questions someone who is in a mental health facility?
An official said Farook had contact with several individuals in Los Angeles who were already being tracked by the FBI.
After her arrival in the United States in the summer of 2014, Malik avoided being in the room with her new male relatives. Because she used a face covering used by some Muslims, even her brother-in-law had never seen her face. Who was that masked woman anyway?
Malik is known to have been seen outside the couple's home only a handful of times. Did anyone really what they were seeing?

KARACHI: A worker of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) died in the custody on Friday, according to officials.
Nadeem Ahmed, 38, was brought from Central Jail to Civil Hospital Karachi on Friday as his health condition deteriorated, said a hospital official, adding that he died during treatment.
Earlier, Nadeem had been under treatment in the prison’s hospital.

The MQM said that Nadeem was its worker in unit-52 and was arrested by the Pakistan Rangers Sindh on Nov 20.

[AA.TR] Malaysian police have detained five people -- including a European teacher -- on suspicion of links with Daesh [Islamic State] and Al-Qaeda turban groups.
Inspector-General Khalid Abu Bakar said Saturday that the European was tossed in the calaboose Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in Island state Penang while working as a part-time English tutor.
Let me guess the European's first name: William? David? Hans? Pierre? Jose? Mikhail?
"He had joined al-Qaeda previously and was involved in terror activities in Afghanistan and Bosnia," Bakar said in a statement.
Four of the detainees were foreign nationals, while one was a Malaysian.
The Indonesian and Malaysian are "suspected of acting as controller to organize individuals from Malaysia and some Southeast Asian countries to join 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.... in Syria," using an alternative acronym for Daesh [Islamic State].
The statement said that the suspects -- all men -- were detained in five separate operations by the police's counter-terrorism unit between Nov. 17 to Dec. 1 in five different states nationwide.
All will be investigated under the Security Offences Act ( Special Measures) 2012 (Act 747) and the Immigration Act 1959/63.
Malaysia is on alert after Thai police confirmed Friday that the Russian intelligence service had warned of a possible attack on Russian assets in Thailand -- Malaysia's southern neighbor -- by Daesh [Islamic State]-linked turbans.
The previously unconfirmed memo had asked police to investigate claims that ten Syrian nationals with links to Daesh [Islamic State] had entered Thailand with the intention of carrying out attacks on Russians in the popular tourist resorts of Pattaya and Phuket.
Malaysia has detained more than 130 people suspected of links with Daesh [Islamic State] or other turban groups since last year.
In April, the Home Ministry formulated new anti-terror laws that will reintroduce indefinite detention without trial and allow the seizure of passports of anyone suspected of supporting terror acts in a bid to curb suspected turban activities in the country.

A suspected militant killed himself and two members of his family in northern Lebanon on Saturday when he blew himself up during an army raid on his home, security and medical sources said.
The army has carried out a series of raids since two suicide bomb blasts claimed by Daesh killed 44 people in a crowded commercial and residential area of Beirut last month.
Saturday's operation took place in the town of Deir Ammar, northeast of the city of Tripoli. The explosion killed the wife and mother of the suspect, whose name was Mohammed Hamzeh, a security source said.
The source said Hamzeh was part of a group that had pledged allegiance to Daesh .
At least 10 other people were wounded in the blast, including four security personnel.
Bullet holes and bloodstains marked the walls and staircase inside the building after the raid.
DEIR EZZOR – Extremists of the Islamic State group (ISIS) have executed two prominent Syrian media activists in the stranded eastern city of Deir ez-Zor, activists reported on Saturday.
Sami al-Rabah and Mustafa al-Hass, who used to cover stories on the daily atrocities by the terror group in Deir ez-Zor, were executed by ISIS militants on Friday, an informed source and eyewitnesses confirmed to ARA News. They were both shot dead in front of a crowd of people in central Deir ez-Zor.
Both victims were working on behalf of the Deir ez-Zor Media Center, which has been documenting ISIS violations against civilians in the city and its countryside for more than a year.
This comes after ISIS militants arrested a group of Syrian media activists in Deir ez-Zor last week.
“The terror group has broke into the houses of our activists and arrested at least eight of them,” a member of the Deir ez-Zor Media Center told ARA News on the condition of anonymity for security concerns.
“After witnessing the execution of al-Rabah and al-Hass, we are highly concerned about the fate of the others.”
Speaking to ARA News in Deir ez-Zor, Mujahid al-Shami, chief of the campaign ‘Deir ez-Zor Being Slaughtered Silently’, said that media activists captured by ISIS are being executed on charges of “leaking security information to enemies”.
HASAKAH – Dozens of militants of the Islamic State (ISIS) extremist group were reportedly killed in fresh airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah, local sources reported on Saturday.
“The coalition has conducted several airstrikes on major headquarters of ISIS in the southern countryside of Hasakah,” local media activist Ahmed Saadi told ARA News.
“Subsequent to the airstrikes, the group has collected dead bodies of more than 30 of its militants,” the source said.
Saturday’s airstrikes hit ISIS headquarters in the towns of al-Arisha and ‘Abb al-Shouk.
In the meantime, eyewitnesses in the ISIS-held city of Shaddadi south of Hasakah reported a state of alert in the ranks of the radical group. Dozens of cars were seen transferring injured militants to medical centers in the city.
This comes as the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) blocked the roads linking Shaddadi city to the Iraqi border in a bid to paralyze ISIS’s movements in the area.
[AA.TR] Syrian regime warplanes killed 53 civilians late Friday in the opposition-held region of Eastern Ghouta, Syrian Civil Defense sources told Anadolu Agency.
The sources said the regime air raids targeted a local market in Kafr Batna and residential areas in Jesrin. Homes in the targeted villages sustained severe damage.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Yellow Wolf clutched at his chest and fell from his horse... in Aleppo province, Syrian opposition forces took control late Friday of Harba and Beragida villages east of Azaz city from Daesh [Islamic State], Abo Mohammed Nasser, media front man of al-Sham Front, told Anadolu Agency.

[NATION.PK] The U.S. Air Force has fired off more than 20,000 missiles and bombs since the U.S. bombing campaign against ISIS began 15 months ago, according to the Air Force, leading to depleted munitions stockpiles and calls to ramp up funding and weapons production.
As the U.S. ramps up its campaign against the Islamist terror group in Iraq and Syria, the Air Force is now "expending munitions faster than we can replenish them," Air Force chief of staff Gen. Mark Welsh said in a statement.
"B-1s have dropped bombs in record numbers. F-15Es are in the fight because they are able to employ a wide range of weapons and do so with great flexibility. We need the funding in place to ensure we're prepared for the long fight," Welsh said in the statement. "This is a critical need."
The bombing campaign has left the U.S. Air Force with what an Air Force official described as munitions depot stocks "below our desired objective."

Bombs fall fast asleep over Homs,
And whine about crap inflight noms,
Paint long rows of planes
On maneuvering vanes,
And believe they'll go home to their moms.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
