Militants continued yesterday and today to target strategic as well as residential locations in Benghazi.
A women and two children were injured last night when a rocket exploded next to the ear, nose and throat clinic by the Arab Medical University in Buhdeima district. Reports also suggest a local man was also among the injured. It is not known if the target was the clinic or the nearby Benghazi Medical Centre (BMC), to which the injured were taken.
Several rockets have been fired at the BMC over the last weeks.
The ENT clinic was part of Hawari hospital but relocated to a villa next to the university when the hospital had to close.
Meanwhile, in a rocket attack in Sidi Younis district, in the north east of the city, nine people were injured: six Libyans and three Egyptians. The area is home to a significant number of Egyptian workers, both legal and illegal.
Today, for the third day in a row, a grad missile landed outside Benina Airport. The airport or, more likely, the adjoining airbase, is believed to have been the target.
[Ynet] Two soldiers have been arrested in Ivory Coast accused of failing to denounce suspected members of an al Qaeda cell that killed 19 people in a March attack on a beach resort town, military officials said on Thursday.
The raid on Grand Bassam, 40 km (25 miles) from the commercial capital, Abidjan, by al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the jihadist group's North African affiliate, was the furthest yet from its traditional desert base.
Authorities in Ivory Coast and neighbouring Mali have arrested a number of suspects since the attack.

[Breitbart] An Islamic Mosque, funded and owned by a hardline, "fundamentalist" Saudi Arabian cleric, opened in the Nice just two weeks before the Southern French city was struck by a deadly terror attack.
Town Mayor Christian Estrosi had fought a bitter legal battle with the French state in an attempt to stop it opening, claiming the owner, Saudi Minister of Islamic Affairs Sheikh Saleh bin Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh (pictured left) "advocates Sharia law and destroyed all the churches on the Arabian Peninsula."
"Our intelligence agencies are worried about this place of worship," the mayor said, before warned about "unregulated foreign funding," according to French news site RTL.
Mr. Estrosi, mayor since 2008, argued that the project, which was initiated under his predecessor in 2002, was unauthorised. He took central government representative Prefect Adolphe Colrat to court but did not succeed.
Mr. Colrat accused Mr. Estrosi, who is a member of France's centre-right The Republicans Party, of "feeding populism" and scapegoating the entire Muslim community to gain votes, AFP reported.

July 14th at 7:15 pm ET:
At least 73 people were killed and about 100 injured on Thursday night when a lorry drove into a crowd of Bastille Day revellers in an apparent terrorist attack in Nice, David Chazan reports.
A gunman reportedly got out of the lorry and fired into the crowd on the seafront Promenade des Anglais, an area popular with tourists in the Riviera resort, leaving dead and injured people lying in the street.
He was shot dead by police but there were reports that an accomplice had fled and that guns and grenades were found in the lorry.
The local Prefecture described the slaughter as a “terrorist attack” but an interior ministry spokesman, Pierre-Henry Brandet, said it was too early to be certain of the killers’ motives.

FBI director Comey will refer to the driver as just extremely careless.
The words "Islamic Road Rage" will henceforth NOT be allowed by government officials.
Word is the truck was acquired legally.
But trucks no larger than 2 tons will be allowed on the road during major crowd events.
Oh, and white French folk are to blame per Hillary.

Takbir - Allahu Ackbar was shouted by the killer as he murders the innocent seeking absolution for his sins by killing infidels in order to advance his version of extremist ahl al-sunnah Islam.
And the MSM does not report this to the masses. Nothing to see here - move along, move along...this does not fit the MSM narrative that Sunni Islamic extremism is being destroyed by Obama's nuanced approach. Well, there is nothing nuanced by having the life intentionally crushed out of you and your children by a five ton truck.
1) basically bulldoze a large area of Syria on the iraq border big enough for a camp the size of Kuwait.
2) build a wall/fence around it.
3) Incarcerate all invaders, refugees, etc. of a Muslim persuasion in said camp and tell them to run it by their beloved Sharia.
4) Give it to KSA, Pakistan and Iran to administer.

'Ladies and Gentlemen...due to..recent events and tragedies, I as Commander in Chief have ordered all available assets to assist our allies in the Middle East, and destroy the radical factions which are causing global instability.
Within two minutes of receiving a distress call, a uniformed Marine quick reaction force was en route to President Erdogon's private home. Let me be clear - I recognize President Erdogon as the legitimate government of Turkey. The first elements of our military will be in Istanbul immediately. All military equipment and personelle will be considered hostile.
In addition, I call for President al-Sisi of Egypt to immediately resign, and the rightly elected President Morsi be reinstated immediately.'

However which way it goes -- and knowing that the Turkish military are the supporters of a secular and western-oriented civic government -- I can only think that the Black Lives Matter a**holes must be weeping into their Cheerios going into this weekend. The Nice massacre stole their news thunder - and now a Turkish coup is doing a victory dance over the wreckage - if there ever was a serious effort towards a Day of Rage. (Which might have been debatable, anyway.)
So - should we set up a betting pool over which country will offer Erdogan sanctuary? Any suggestions and bets?

Various tweets suggest that 1) the coup is being led by mid or junior officers and 2) it is failing, as state TV apparently is back in the hands of police.

TFG gets it wrong, of course, as he has to: 2:55 a.m.
The White House says President Barrack Obama has talked on the phone with Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss the events in Turkey.
It says the two agreed that all parties in Turkey should support the democratically-elected government of Turkey, show restraint, and avoid any violence or bloodshed.
It added that Kerry underscored that the State Department will continue to focus on the safety and security of U.S. citizens in Turkey.
Kerry says the U.S. views with gravest concern events unfolding in Turkey and officials are monitoring "a very fluid situation."
Kerry says he spoke this evening to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and emphasized the United States' absolute support for Turkey's democratically-elected, civilian government and democratic institutions.

The Gendamerie are key. They control the country outside the big cities. From memory there are 350,000 Gendamerie.
If Erdogan can control Ankara and Istanbul, but not the bulk of the country, this could go on for a while.

[AlAhram] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... imposed round-the-clock curfews on 16 villages in its mainly Kurdish southeast on Thursday as security forces tried to root out murderous Moslems nearby and sacked two co-mayors it accused of supporting the fighters.
Authorities in the province of Diyarbakir imposed the lockdown as security forces searched for members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in the hills and woods near the town of Silvan, the provincial governor said in a statement.
The government says thousands of murderous Moslems and about 500 soldiers and coppers have been killed since the ceasefire broke down last year. Human rights groups say about 400 civilians have also been killed.
People will not be allowed to enter or leave the area near Silvan during the curfew, the governor's statement said.
"It is important for citizens to follow the ban for the security of their lives and property," it said.
New York-based Human Rights Watch ... During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, HRW received a pledge from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, of which George Soros is Chairman, for general support totaling $100,000,000. The grant is being paid in installments of $10,000,000 over ten years.Through June 30, 2013, HRW had received $30,000,000 towards the fulfillment of the pledge.... this week accused the government of preventing independent investigations into alleged rights abuses during the lockdowns that include unlawful killings of civilians, displacement of civilians and destruction of private property.
Separately, the Interior Ministery ordered the co-mayors of the town of Mazidagi in Mardin province be removed from office, security sources said.
A prosecutor is investigating the elected officials' potential culpability after a municipal vehicle was allegedly used in a car-kaboom on a gendarmes outpost that killed two soldiers and maimed another 12 on July 9.
In the past year, authorities placed in durance vile Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! 22 mayors and sacked another 31 for their alleged support for the PKK in the southeast. All are members of a regional party, the Democratic Regions Party (DBP), which denies collaborating with the PKK.
Separately, the district governor in the town of Nusaybin said its four-month curfew would be lifted on July 19. Clashes with the PKK there ended on June 3, but authorities have barred residents from returning as they continued weapons searches and conducted cleanup operations.
It said in a statement 495 PKK murderous Moslems were killed in the festivities. Officials previously said 70 police and soldiers were killed in Nusaybin, which sits on the Syrian border.
Citizens and customs officials managed to prevent a terror attack at Turkey’s Gürbulak customs gate to Iran, after noticing a cable under the ground that turned out to be part of a bomb mechanism tied to one ton of explosives.
Customs and Trade Minister Bülent Tüfekçi said on July 14 that the border gate in the eastern province of Ağrı was reopened after the mechanism was dismantled.
Acting upon a notice by citizens, gendarmerie units in the province first closed the gate in both directions and inspected the area, finding a mechanism tied to two hidden propane cylinders.

Not clear. One ton bomb (presumably some kind of high explosive with a LOT of stuff in it), or a ton of propane cylinders? Both?
Seems like a lot of work to bury that sort of thing while the customs guy is taking a leak.
And the citizens noticed first?
Maybe this is a gate where, if somebody wants to cross and declare his booze or whatever, they call somebody to show up sometime this week.
Not getting this.

The following data is maintained by the website: TheReligionofPeace. It is titled "What Makes Islam so Different?" TROP states: "TROP is a non-partisan, fact-based site which examines the ideological threat that Islam poses to human dignity and freedom."
During this time period [2016] and worldwide, there were 1268 Islamic attacks in 50 countries, in which 11664 people were killed and 14087 injured. Despite many leaders in the West leading from behind and trying as hard as they might to deny the threat, there is a worldwide terror war being waged by the Islamacis.
[AP] LAHORE, Pakistan - The United States has put a $10 million bounty on his head, labeling him a terrorist. He is one of the most wanted men in India. Yet, Hafiz Saeed walks free in his home country of Pakistan, denouncing Washington and New Delhi in public speeches.
Now the man identified by the U.S. as a founding member of the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group is weighing in on the flare-up of violence in Kashmir, the mountainous region divided between Pakistani and Indian control, where dozens have died in clashes with protesters after Indian security forces killed a top rebel leader.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Saeed accused the U.S. of giving India a free hand to crush the anti-India protests in its Himalayan territory, warning that will only lead to an escalation of violence.
"America is supporting this oppression by India by saying it is an internal matter," the 66-year-old Saeed said in the interview, which took place Wednesday at his two-story home behind a steel barrier separating it from the narrow streets of the eastern city of Lahore.
"This has given India encouragement, and because of this, the killings and violence" will continue, he said.
Washington has said it will not intervene. But U.S. State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau, speaking to reporters Thursday, disagreed with the suggestion by Saeed and others that the U.S. is aloof and therefore partly responsible for the crackdown. She said the U.S. has had discussions with both India and Pakistan about the violence in Kashmir.
"We are very concerned about the deaths of the protesters," Trudeau said. "That’s of grave concern to us. We continue to be in touch with the government of India. We’ve been in discussions with the government of Pakistan as well."
Saeed said he will lead nationwide demonstrations in Pakistan to force its government to sever ties with the U.S. if it cannot convince Washington to intervene in the decades-old Kashmir dispute. The two countries, which also possess nuclear weapons, have fought three wars, two of them over Kashmir.
[DAWN] QUETTA: Security forces tossed in the slammer Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! a suspected agent of the Afghan intelligence agency -- the National Directorate of Security (NDS) -- and five suspected turbans during an operation on the outskirts of the border town of Chaman on Wednesday.

As security forces cordoned off the area, they were fired upon by gunnies hiding in a compound. FC soldiers returned fire and a shootout continued for two hours. Finally security forces overpowered six gunnies and took them into custody.
Those arrested included three local people belonging to a banned krazed killer organization involved in raids on security forces, suicide attacks and other subversive activities in different parts of 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... and other areas of the country, the sources said.
"Security forces found in the compound two cars with wires attached to them and believe that the cars may have been fitted with vehicle-born bombs."
The Bomb Disposal Squad of police department was called to check the vehicles. It had not cleared the vehicles till late in the night.
Arms and ammunition seized from the hideout of turbans included two rocket launchers, 11 landmines, two grenades, one Kalashnikov, one pistol and thousands of rounds of different weapons.
Those arrested were handed over to the authorities concerned.
"Earlier, security forces had carried out two operations to arrest the NDS agent, but each time he escaped and crossed into Afghanistan," the official said.

Noor lives in Latifabad Unit-11 opposite Govt Degree College. “He is not yet been released,” SB sources said on Wednesday evening.
[AlArabiya] President Francois Hollande has announced that France will redeploy the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier this fall to step up the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and suggested an increase in ground troops for training and support to take back Mosul, in northern Iraq.
Hollande, speaking Wednesday ahead of the Bastille Day military parade Thursday, said “we must strike and destroy those who aggressed us here” in two sets of attacks last year.
Hollande said the November attacks in Paris claimed by ISIS “were decided” in Raqqa, Syria and Mosul in northern Iraq, the two strongholds of ISIS militants.
Those attacks killed 130 and 17 more died in two January attacks. With the carrier battle group in place, France can up its striking power in the US-led coalition carrying out strikes on ISIS.

[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian man approached officers with a knife and was shot by police Thursday morning in the East Jerusalem refugee camp of Shuafat, police said.
Police and Border Police officers came to the refugee camp to arrest a suspect.
During the arrest, residents of Shuafat attempted to hinder the arrest, and at one point the Paleostinian approached the officers holding a knife and was shot, police said.
No copperswere maimed in the incident.
The Paleostinian man, identified by local media as Yihya Hijazi, was lightly injured and taken to a Jerusalem hospital after being treated by Magen David Adom medics, a police spokeswoman told The Times of Israel.
Police said they completed the arrest of the suspect and exited the refugee camp.
A Fatah party front man later told the Paleostinian Ma’an news agency that the man who was shot was trying to take a knife away from the suspect who was placed in durance vile Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! On Wednesday, Border Police officers operating in the Paleostinian town of al-Ram north of Jerusalem opened fire on a vehicle that officers said was accelerating toward them, killing one Paleostinian passenger, Anwar al Salaimeh, 22. A second person in the car was maimed. A third was unhurt, and was arrested by police and taken for questioning.
One of the border coppers opened fire, according to the army, after he "felt in danger."
An IDF statement said the incident was being investigated.
[Ynet] The three teenagers who set fire to cars and spray painted hate speech in the town of Yaffa outside of Nazareth have had their ages and hometowns released by the court. They are all aged between 15 and 16, and they are from Karmiel, Elon Moreh, and Balfouria.
The arson occurred on June 10 in a commercial vehicles compound. Two vehicles were lit on fire. Three other vehicles had the words "price tag" and "Dire Revenge' spray painted on them.
Police arrived at the scene and collected evidence, including security camera footage. The footage showed the three teenagers trespassing onto the property and setting fire to the vehicles.
Shin Bet security forces interrogated the teenagers who admitted that they had been planning to torch Arab vehicles out of Dire Revenge for Paleostinian attacks on Jews. After the Sarona Market attacks, they decided to carry out their plan.
The Shin Bet investigation also revealed links between the teenagers and the Hilltop Youth movement.
Decyphering the attack and arresting the suspects is another step towards thwarting the activities of Jewish terror cells who have been carrying out attacks over the past two years," a Shin Bet statement said.
"The Shin Bet stresses that the enforcement measures which have been carried out over the past several months have led to a significant drop in the scope of violent attacks and terror against Paleostinians and Israeli-Arabs."
[IsraelTimes] Two men from the north of Israel have been charged with supporting 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.... , with each of them separately making plans to join the jihadist group in Syria.
One man, Abed al Fatah, 24, from Nazareth, visited pro-jihadi websites, expressing support for the group online.
Earlier this year, according to a charge sheet, Fatah made contact with a former Islamic State fighter and made plans to join the group in Syria after he got married.
The second man, Ashraf Arbaye, 35, from nearby Shfaram, also made contact this year with a jjhadi known to help people sneak into Islamic State territory, according to the Shin Bet, which captured the two.
Arbaye is also accused of illegal arms possession, including selling guns.
The prosecution has asked a judge at an arraignment hearing to order the two kept in jail until the end of legal proceedings, Channel 2 reports.

I wonder why nobody from J street, etc. tried to join ISIS?
[Verge] Drones flying over a war zone are nothing new, and as they've proliferated, there have been more efforts to make them harder to see from the ground. Don't neglect the short video, which contains Prioria Products Mavrik field demo, 360 degree gimble cam, cool sound track, and F-150.
Case in point? A drone that was recently downed in Mogadishu, Somalia looks less like a drone and more like a large bird.
Local reports associate this drone, which came down on May 1st, with Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA). It's unclear exactly how it was downed, or if similar drones have been used in the country before.
What’s most interesting about this particular drone are its wings: in addition to looking like a bird, the wings will flap, although it looks like it’s actually powered by two sets of propellers. A quick glance at it flying overhead likely won’t attract a lot of attention, which is exactly what you’d want for a surveillance robot.
The US Army Special Operations Command has used a similar drone that can be fired out of a canon or deployed by hand. Like this drone discovered in Somalia, it has wings that can flap, making it appear like a regular bird flying overhead.
As Atlas Obscura points out, there have been concerted efforts for companies to mimic bird behavior in drones both for appearance and for the obvious reason: physics. Birds, after all, are the experts at flying, and learning just how they fly is a good step in adapting their mechanical counterparts to accomplish the same tasks.

I used to have an organic drone. Very tricky to use and had to use a mind meld GUI. Cheap to to operate tho. Fierce and Scary, but not overly affectionate. I could go for another one, except... Cats. Actually kept "the bird" in a Fort Lauderdale studio apt, corner of Oakland Park and 441, Lauderdale Lakes (ha) to be more accurate.

"The Russian air force has increased the intensity of its strikes against targets of the armed units of international terrorist organizations near the city of Palmyra," the ministry said in a statement Thursday on its Facebook page.
"Since July 12, Russian air force planes have conducted more than 50 strikes against Islamic State personnel and material in this area."
Six Tupolev bombers flew out of an airbase in Russia on Thursday morning and conducted strikes east of Palmyra, near the cities of Arak and Sukhna, as well as in the Homs region, the statement said.
The ministry said the strikes had destroyed "a command centre, a field camp for IS fighters, two oil processing plants and a large quantity of the enemy's personnel and military hardware."
IS fighters were forced out of Palmyra by Syrian regime forces in March with Russian backing, but Arak and Sukhna remain out of the government's control.
Arak, located 35 kilometres (21 miles) east of Palmyra, is a small town that has strategic importance because of a nearby oil field, while Sukhna, 70 km northeast of Palmyra, is an IS bastion.

[AnNahar] State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr on Thursday charged three suspects, including a detainee, with involvement in the unprecedented multiple suicide kabooms that rocked the Christian border town of al-Qaa in late June, state-run National News Agency reported.
The three were charged with "staging acts of terror, carrying out two waves of suicide kabooms in the town of al-Qaa, murdering and attempting to murder a number of civilians and other individuals, and sabotaging public and private property," NNA said.
The case has been referred to First Military Examining Magistrate Riad Abu Ghida, the agency added.
Al-Qaa is a predominantly Christian town nestled in a hilly border area that has been shaken by violence since Syria's conflict erupted in 2011. Four jacket wallahs hit the town before dawn on June 27 and another four suicide bombers carried out an evening attack, killing five people and wounding 28 others.
The site of the dawn blasts lies on a main road linking the Syrian town of al-Qusayr to Leb's eastern Bekaa Valley.
Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq said the bombers came from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

[AnNahar] A Syrian man has been tossed in the slammer Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! on charges of communicating and collaborating with Syria-based terrorist groups, General Security announced on Wednesday.
"As part of its surveillance operations and follow-up on the activities of terrorist groups and their sleeper cells, the General Directorate of General Security has apprehended a Syrian national for his communication with terrorist groups," it said in a statement.
"During interrogation, he confessed to having ties and contacts with terrorist groups and that he was involved in the activities of providing and transferring arms, ammunition and funds in Leb with the aim of smuggling them into Syria," General Security added.
"Efforts are underway to arrest the rest of the culprits," it said.
The country has been on high alert since the unprecedented suicide kabooms that hit the Christian border town of al-Qaa in late June. Scores of people have been arrested in a major crackdown on Syrian refugee encampments and gatherings that followed the attacks.

BEIRUT: At least 11 civilians, including three children, were killed in air strikes on a rebel-held town in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province on Wednesday, a monitor said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said it was unclear if the strikes on the town of Ariha in Idlib province were carried out by Syrian government or Russian war planes.
The town is controlled by the Army of Conquest, a rebel alliance of militant groups including Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front that holds almost all of Idlib province.
Video uploaded by activists purportedly showed the aftermath of the strikes, with residents and Civil Defense workers picking though debris looking for survivors.
Idlib has regularly been targeted by both Syrian government airstrikes and raids carried out by its Russian ally.
A longtime backer of the government in Damascus, Moscow stepped up its support for Bashar Assad on September 30, when it began an air campaign aimed at bolstering regime positions.
Elsewhere in the country, the Observatory said at least eight people were killed on Wednesday in the town of Rastan in central Homs province.
Five of them died in air strikes on the town’s market place, which also wounded dozens of people. Another three were killed in shelling earlier Wednesday.
[ARA News] DAMASCUS – Extremists of the Islamic State (ISIS) on Thursday executed a Syrian military pilot in the city of Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria, activists reported.
A warplane for the Syrian army, that took off from Hama airport on Thursday morning, has reportedly crashed near Mount Tharda in Deir ez-Zor province. Activists told ARA News that the crash was caused by a technical failure in the warplane and that the pilot survived the incident.
“However, the Syrian pilot Mahmoud Jubair was captured by ISIS fighters after landing with his parachute in Deir ez-Zor,” local media activist Qassif al-Ibrahim told ARA News on the phone.
Pilot Jubair, originally from Musiyaf town in Hama province, was publicly executed and crucified by ISIS militants in the Kinamat square in Deir ez-Zor city.
The pro-ISIS Amaq news agency released footages showing remnants of the crashed warplane and the execution of the pilot, saying he was responsible for bombing civilians in Deir ez-Zor and other parts of Syria.
[AlAhram] The Islamic State (IS) group claimed its fighters shot down a Syrian regime warplane near the eastern city of Deir Ezzor and killed its pilot, in statements on militant websites.
The extremist group said the MiG fighter jet was downed over the south of Deir Ezzor city after it had carried out several raids on villages in the area.
The pilot died when the plane crashed, it said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that IS fighters shot down the regime plane as it flew over an area adjacent to a military airport.
IS group controls large parts of Deir Ezzor city and most of oil-rich Deir Ezzor province, but has so far failed to overrun the airbase.
The Observatory -- which relies on a network of sources inside Syria for its information -- says it determines what planes carried out raids according to their type, location, flight patterns and the munitions involved.
It said the plane downed on Thursday was the fourth shot down by IS group fighters since April.
