Fighters loyal to the leader of the splinter group of the Taliban, Mullah Rasoul, in Badghis province, reportedly announced war against fighters of the Taliban faction led by Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor. The commander of the splinter group accused Mansoor of killing and detaining Taliban leaders and said the Pakistani spy agency and Mansoor have pushed Afghanistan towards destruction.
After several days of fighting between the two groups of the Taliban in Shindand district of western Herat province, fighters loyal to Mullah Rasoul hoisted the Taliban's flag under the name of the Taliban's High Council in Qads district of Badghis province and vowed to fight supporters of Akhtar Mansoor.
Commander of the splinter group in Badghis said that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Akhtar Mansoor have been involved in killing a number of Taliban leaders, particularly the group's supreme leader Mullah Omar.
"The reasons for our differences [with Akhtar Mansoor] were that Mullah Obaidullah has been martyred in prison, Mullah Beradar is in jail and Mullah Omar was killed by Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor. Akhtar Mansoor has created an office in Qatar and he along with the Pakistani spy agency has taken a number of decisions without coordinating them with the Taliban, which are not acceptable for us," said Mollah Ghafar Tofan, military commander of Mollah Rasoul's splinter group in Badghis. He added that Pakistan and other countries have pushed Afghanistan towards fratricide.
Meanwhile, Badghis provincial council expressed its deep concerns over gathering of the Taliban in Qads district of the province and said that infighting between the Taliban will affect civilians. Mohammad Naser Nazari, a member of the council, said that the government should not allow militants to mobilize the public.
"People expect government to conduct airstrikes, wherever they organize gatherings. It should not allow the Taliban to organize gatherings," he added.
Badghis police chief, Abdul Rauf Taj, urged people not to allow the Taliban to organize gatherings in their villages.
"People should not allow the enemies to organize such sessions. The Taliban by such events want to weaken people's morale," he said. Fighting between fighters of Akhtar Mansoor and Mullah Rassoul in Zer Koh area of Shindand district of Herat left more than 200 people dead, including scores of civilians. The probability of infighting between Taliban in Badghis has raised concerns of people in Badghis.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A 12-year-old child assigned for a suicide mission surrendered himself to the security forces in the eastern 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 of AFghanistan.
According to the local security officials, the child was recently taken to Jalalabad city from the neighboring Pakistain for the suicide mission.
Provincial police chief Fazal Ahmad Shirzad said the child was trained in a Madrasa in Pakistain regarding the suicide kaboom and the kid handed over himself to the security forces on Tuesday.
The child said he was motivated to refrain from the attack after witnessing the Afghan people are offering prayers and there are plenty of mosques open in the country, apparently gesturing towards the terror groups claims regarding the ruling un-Islamic system, a claim which is mainly used to brainwash the children and young people for the terrorist attacks.
This comes as the Afghan children have regularly been recruited by the turban groups, the Taliban and the Haqqani network for the terrorist related activities, including suicide attacks.
Madrasas are described as the main recruitment source for the turban groups as poor families in Pakistain and Afghanistan send their sons to such madrassas for free education and lodging.
According to the testimonies given by the children recruited for suicide attacks, their handlers promise them heaven and an end to all problems by carrying suicide attack, a similar testimony given by the 12-year-old child who surrendered to security forces in Jalalabad yesterday.

[An Nahar] At least seven people were killed in festivities Wednesday west 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... between rustics and forces loyal to Libya's unrecognized government, an army officer said.
The violence in the village of Touebiya, 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the capital, stemmed from a failed burglary.
Tribesmen attacked the village and burnt down homes, said Colonel Abderrazaq al-Kharmani, an officer with forces that support the unrecognized government in Tripoli.
"We seized one of their vehicles, destroyed another and killed seven of their fighters," he told AFP.
Kharmani said the confrontation broke out a day after a member of the tribal forces had been beaten to death with a stick by a woman in Touebiya as he tried to rob her home.
The rustics had attacked the village seeking to avenge his death, according to the officer.

[An Nahar] Saudi security forces have jugged Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! a Shiite preacher accused of glorifying 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... , a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Hussein al-Radi was detained after Gulf Arab states declared Hizbullah a "terrorist" group earlier this month and brought in tough new measures against anyone supporting it.
The Al-Watan daily reported that security forces arrested Radi, from the Al-Ahsa oasis region in Eastern Province.
"This is after he glorified the terrorist group Hizbullah and insulted the kingdom in a video clip that has been shared" online, the report said.
Radi "also broke previous pledges he had made after defending the terrorist Nimr al-Nimr following his execution," it added.
Nimr, another Shiite holy man from Eastern Province, was a driving force behind protests that began in 2011 among the Shiite minority in Sunni-majority Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... The Shiites complain of marginalization.
Nimr and three other Shiites were among 47 people executed on January 2 for "terrorism."
Iranian demonstrators stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran and a consulate following Nimr's execution, prompting Riyadh to cut diplomatic ties.
Al-Watan quoted a security source as saying authorities had shown "patience" over a number of violations Radi allegedly made.
"But he continued to incite the public, taking advantage of the mosque platform to breach regulations."
A video posted Sunday on YouTube showed the bespectacled Radi, with a bushy white beard, speaking at a podium where he hails Hizbullah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... as a "hero."
Radi also praises Iran as a regional and international power.
An interior ministry front man could not confirm Radi's arrest to AFP but said: "I would assure you that ... laws in the kingdom are enforced."

[Dhaka Tribune] The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the death penalty of banned murderous Moslem outfit Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh activist Asaduzzaman Chowdhury alias Panir for killing eight people in a kaboom in Netrakona in 2005.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha dismissed an appeal filed by the convict.
Panir had filed the appeal challenging a High Court verdict that had upheld his death sentence awarded by a trial court in 2008 for the attacks on Udichi and Shatadal Shilpi Goshthi offices.
After yesterday’s verdict, Deputy Attorney General Shashanka Shekhar Sarker told news hounds that Panir, who is now at the Dhaka Central Jail, would be able to seek review of the verdict. "Otherwise, the jail authorities will take steps for executing the death sentence after receiving the full text of verdict," he added.
According to the case, JMB men carried out the attacks on December 8, 2005, leaving eight people dead and 40 others injured. The victims are Khawja Haider, Sudipta Paul Shelly, Rani Begum, Joynal, Raisuddin, Yadev Das, Jahanara and Shawkat. One Arid alias Kafi made the explosives.
On February 17, 2008, Dhaka’s Speedy Trial Tribunal 2 sentenced to death three JMB activists -- Panir, Salahuddin alias Salehin and Yunus Ali -- for the deaths. Another accused Fahima alias Farzana alias Rokeya was acquitted. Salehin and Yunus are on the run.

[FRANCE24] Najim Laachraoui, a Belgian wanted by authorities in connection with the November 13 Gay Paree attacks, has been named by police sources as one of three suspected bombers who killed at least 31 people and injured 270 in Brussels on Tuesday.
Belgian and international media cited police sources as saying that Laachraoui was the second bomber in the attack on Brussels airport.
Federal prosecutors earlier on Wednesday identified Ibrahim El-Bakraoui as one of the three suspects who targeted the airport, and his brother Khalid El-Bakraoui as the Maelbeek metro bombing suspect.
Belgian officials have not officially identified Laachraoui as one of the Brussels attackers so far. Doing so would establish a clear link between the string of deadly attacks in and around Gay Paree on November 13, 2015 and the March 22 attacks in Brussels.
Connection to Gay Paree attacks
Laachraoui, 24, is suspected of being one of the explosive experts and co-ordinators of the Gay Paree attacks, after his DNA was found on boom belts used in both the attack on the Bataclan concert hall and the Stade de La Belle France, suggesting he not only handled them but may also have built them.
Under the alias of "Soufiane Kayal" he rented a home in the town of Auvelais, in southern Belgium, which was used by the jihadists to prepare the November attacks. Investigators believe he was in phone contact with the hard boyz that night.
This was also the name he gave when he was stopped at the Austria-Hungary border with Salah Abdeslam, the sole surviving participant of the Gay Paree attacks, and Mohammed Belkaïd, another suspected co-ordinator of the Gay Paree attacks, in September 2015.
Since he was travelling under a false identity, police were unaware that he was the subject of an international arrest warrant, issued in March 2014, for recruiting fighters for 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.... group.
Laachraoui was only publicly identified as a Gay Paree attacks suspect on Monday.
Laachraoui went to Syria in February 2013 and reportedly returned to Europe posing as a refugee. In February he was tried in absentia for involvement in a recruiting network of Belgians who left for Syria, in which the prosecutor called for him to be handed a 15-year prison sentence.
Moroccan-born Laachraoui has Belgian nationality and was raised in the Schaerbeek neighbourhood of Brussels, where police conducted searches shortly after the city's airport and metro attacks. He is believed to have studied electromechanical engineering at a Catholic high school, the Institut de la Sainte-Famille d’Helmet.

A Turkish state-run agency says authorities detained three men, including two foreigners, suspected of planning another attack in Istanbul.
Anadolu Agency says security operations targeted three different Istanbul addresses based on information gathered by the Turkish anti-terrorism agency and German intelligence services. A Turkish national, an Iraqi and a Syrian were detained.
The arrests come after a suicide bomber in Istanbul killed four foreigners. Turkey has witnessed a series of deadly suicide bombings, some claimed by Kurdish militants and others blamed on ISIS.
Three suspected Islamic State group members arrested in Turkey were planning attacks on Germany's diplomatic missions or schools in the country, which were closed last week over a terror threat, Turkish media reported Wednesday.
Last Thursday, Germany closed its embassy in Ankara, its consulate in Istanbul and German schools in both cities, with Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier citing "very serious" indications of planned attacks. Turkish authorities had criticised the closures, saying they were unjustified.
Tuesday's arrests in Istanbul come as police continue to hunt three Turkish suspected members of an IS group cell believed to be planning further attacks in crowded public places.

Turkish armed forces said on Wednesday that the military carried out air strikes on Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) targets in northern Iraq and killed 26 militants in southeast Turkey.
Violence in Turkey has increasingly flared since a ceasefire with the Kurds broke down last July.
Tuesday’s air strikes targeted shelters, caves and ammunition depots used by the PKK in northern Iraq and rural areas near the southeastern Turkish town of Semdinli, at the mountainous border with Iraq and Iran, the military statement said.
The military says more than a thousand militants have been killed in the largely Kurdish southeast since the 2-1/2 year PKK ceasefire collapsed in July, prompting the heaviest clashes in the region since the 1990s.
President Tayyip Erdogan has said more than 300 members of the security forces have died, while the pro-Kurdish opposition says hundreds of civilians have also been killed.
The army said it killed 26 PKK fighters in the southeastern towns of Nusaybin, Sirnak and Yuksekova on Tuesday alone. It also destroyed explosives and seized weapons and ammunition.
On Tuesday, the PKK killed five members of Turkish security forces in three separate bomb attacks near the Syrian and Iranian borders, army and security sources said.
More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict since it began in 1984. The PKK, which says it is fighting for Kurdish autonomy, is designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and European Union.
In face of the surge in violence and the deadly attacks against Turkey, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday Turkey would use its entire military and intelligence might to battle “one of the biggest and bloodiest terrorist waves in its history”.
" The PKK's ideology was originally a fusion of revolutionary socialism and Kurdish nationalism, seeking the foundation of an independent, Marxist–Leninist state in the region, which was to be known as Kurdistan."

[An Nahar] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has detained a Japanese citizen in the south of the country on suspicion of seeking to cross the border into Syria to join 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.... (IS) jihadists, the Dogan news agency said on Wednesday.
The young man aged 24, named as M.M., was detained late on Tuesday in the Nizip district of the southern city of Gaziantep, close to the Syrian border.
According to Dogan, he had admitted to wanting to travel to Syria after getting to know an unnamed contact by telephone and then agreeing the cross the frontier.
He will be deported from Turkey back to Japan once the investigation is completed, the agency added.
It said he was detained during a routine check by the Turkish gendarmerie while being driven towards the border settlement of Karkamis.
The official Anatolia news agency said police had confirmed his contacts with jihadists by examining messages on his mobile phone.
Long accused of not doing enough to police its border with Syria, Turkey has in the last months tightened controls, detaining dozens of foreign jihadists.
The arrest of a Japanese citizen is hugely unusual, as most of those detained seeking to cross the border come from countries with large Muslim populations.
Images published by Dogan showed the bespectacled young man kneeling in the middle of the road with his hands above his head, guarded by an armed soldier.
Turkish officials said security forces on Tuesday incarcerated I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! 10 suspected Islamic State (IS) members at the Syrian border in the Gaziantep region, including a would-be jacket wallah. Their nationalities were not disclosed.

[Daily Excelsior] A shootout broke out tonight between a group of holy warriors of Hizbul Mujahideen who were trapped and security forces in village Drubgam of South Kashmire’s Pulwama town.
On the basis of specific information about presence of three Hizbul Mujahideen holy warriors -- Nasir Pandit, Zahid Ahmad and Tariq Pandit -- in an orchard in village Drubgam, Special Operations Group (SOG) Pulwama, 44 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) of A rmy and 182 battalion of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) this evening cordoned off the village. The holy warriors on seeing the troops fled to the nearby Drubgam village and took refuge there.
Security forces immediately laid cordon around the village and conducted house to house searches. However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... locals threw stones at the security forces to help the holy warriors to flee from the cordon.
Security forces have tightened the cordon after they came under stone pelting and at around 10 p.m. encounter started after security forces fired at the house where holy warriors were hiding. The holy warriors returned the fire in response to the security forces firing.
Security forces have tightened the cordon and lit up the area so that the holy warriors may not flee.
Nasir Pandit is a police deserter turned holy warrior. Last year he fled from the residence of then Minister in former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s cabinet, Altaf Bukhari. He took away two rifles along and security forces have been hunting him since then.

Smells like bullshit. What kind of rabid dog can 'devour' a human? The whole point of rabid dogs is that they have rabies, which is a nerve disease that kills slowly, over weeks. They just have to bite you and you get infected. They don't kill you right away, that defeats the entire point of rabies.

[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian suspect allegedly used computer skills to gain access to overhead footage, watch troop movements and track planes at Ben-Gurion Airport
The Israel Police and Shin Bet security service incarcerated Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! a Gazoo resident suspected of hacking into the feeds from Air Force drones and collecting information on troop movements and civilian flights for the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror group, police said Wednesday.
A police statement named the suspect as Majd Ouida, 22, describing him as an "electronics engineer" from the Gazoo Strip.
Ouida, who also held the position of chairman of the "Paleostinian talents society," was arrested on February 23 while en route to a meeting with young candidates on a television singing contest, the statement said but did not detail where or how he was arrested.
A police spokesperson for the Israel Police clarified that Ouida was not arrested inside the Gazoo Strip, implying he was en route from the coastal enclave to the West Bank when security forces scooped him up.
According to the indictment, he was recruited by Islamic Jihad in 2011 while working as a radio broadcaster and was made their "computer administrator."
"He carried out tasks that he received from his handlers, including coding a computer program that enabled the viewing of road cameras, hacking into the computers of the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, interior ministry in Gazoo, and more," police said.
According to the indictment filed against the suspect, he was asked by the Islamic Jihad in 2012 to hack into the IDF’s network of drones in operation above the Gazoo Strip.
He purchased the requisite equipment from dealers in the United States and created a computer program that could intercept the broadcast feed, the prosecutor claimed.
His first two attempts at intercepting the feed failed, according to the indictment, but on his third try he was successful, allowing his handlers to see some of the footage captured by the IDF drone cameras.
"While watching the broadcasts, the defendant realized the drone was collecting intelligence on terrorist operatives working on launching and storing missiles in the Gazoo Strip," according to the indictment.
Ouida also succeeded in accessing footage from highway cameras inside Israel, obtaining for his organization information on the movement of Israeli security forces and civilians during wars in the Strip and rocket strikes, the indictment said.
Further, the man allegedly developed an application that compiled information on the movement of planes at Israel’s Ben Gurion international airport, as well as gaining access to passenger manifestos, plane weights and makes, and takeoff and landing times.
Ouida faces a litany of charges for his actions, including espionage, conspiracy to commit a crime, computer hacking and transferring information to an enemy with the intent to harm national security.

“The door of amnesty is still open for those who did not shed blood,” leadership of Islamist rebels stressed, warning “members of the Army of Islam in southern Syria will not save any effort to punish those who are behind the delayed of victory over the regime.”
“ISIS extremists combat opposition fighters, deforming the name of Islam as well as deceiving our young people through demonstrating adherence to religion,” the statement said, adding they are “the worst enemies of Islam”.
“We are fully supporting the Court of Justice in Dar Horan, the only forum to bring justice and unity to people in Daraa,” leadership of the Islamist rebels stressed.
