ADEN (Yemen) - A drone strike in central Yemen has killed five Al-Qaeda suspects, security officials and a tribal chief said on Wednesday.
The late Tuesday attack in Rada, a town in the central province of Baida, targeted a car carrying the suspected jihadists, a tribal chief said.
The United States has been involved in a years-long unmanned drone campaign in Yemen and is thought to have carried out dozens of strikes against what it says are Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) members.
AQAP and the Islamic State group have exploited a power vacuum created by the conflict between the government and Iran-backed rebels to expand their presence in the Arabian Peninsula country.
The US has vowed to continue its campaign against AQAP, which it considers to be the Al-Qaeda network's deadliest franchise.

According to al-Masdar's Yemen War correspondent Tony Toh, the Houthi forces captured a number of military sites at the village of al-Rabiah in the Sirwah District, killing 22 Hadi loyalists and wounding 34 other bully boyz after a fierce battle.
The Marib Governorate is considered one of 'Abd Rubbah Mansour Hadi's strongholds in northern Yemen; it was supposed to be a launching point for his loyalists in the Sanaa Governorate.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the Houthi forces have turned the table on the Hadi loyalists, capturing much of eastern Sanaa and advancing eastward to the Marib Governorate's axis.

"The troops are now reportedly heading to Yemen's Maareb province, to join the Saudi-led coalition already fighting in the area," al-Jazeera added.
More Qatari servicemen will be deployed to Yemen in the near future, the report concluded.
The reason for the influx of Qatari soldiers is still unknown; however, it is likely to do with yesterday's situation that involved several Qatari military personnel.

30 Apache helicopters were deployed to Yemen
That seems excessive, esp for 1000 soldiers.
According to wikipedia, 24 Apaches are on order. Other sources say that 24 were ordered in March 2014. So few, if any, are likely to have arrived in Qatar.
Muffy, I'm beginning to have doubts on he veracity of Shia news sources.
[Dhaka Tribune] Tahrim Quaderi alias Rasel, 14-year-old son of dead bad boy Tanvir Quaderi alias Abdul Karim, attacked cops with knife during the raid in Azimpur area of the capital last Saturday.
The matter was mentioned in the statement of the case filed with Lalbagh police. Rasel is the 5th accused in the case. Currently, he has been kept under custody of the counter terrorism unit.
The case statement reads- the door of the house was found locked from inside. Later SWAT team helped to break the door. Rasel attacked police soon after law enforcers broke into their house. Police somehow managed to detain him and later sent two kids‐ 8-year-old Junayara alias Pinki and one-year-old Sabiha Zaman‐ to victim support center, reports Bangla Tribune.
Investigating officers said, police had been looking into why Rasel carried out the attack and whether he was inspired to be a bad boy by his parents.
Sources said, Rasel has a twin brother, but he was not found in that house during the raid. However an officer said the other brother might be sent to Jihad according to family decision.
Rasel, who was a level-8 student of Mastermind School at Dhanmondi, has become irregular in class for the last few months. He might have been motivated by his parents to be a bad boy, sources added.
Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crimes (CTTC) unit captured three suspected female bully boyz during a raid at a bad boy den in Dhaka’s Azimpur area last night while another killed himself on last Saturday.

[IsraelTimes] Bourhan Hraichie, who allegedly carved Islamic State symbol into cellmate’s forehead earlier this year, pens letter discussing beheading plans
A 19-year-old man has been charged in connection with planning a terrorist act in Australia, police said Wednesday.
Police said the man, Bourhan Hraichie, 19, who is in prison over a separate issue, has been charged with drawing up a document connected with preparation for a terrorist act.
Police did not reveal details but The Sydney Morning Herald said that documents allegedly found in the man’s cell included a letter discussing plans to behead people.
Hraichie, who is due to face a Sydney court on October 12, has also been charged with an act in preparation for or planning a terrorist act and with delivering a document threatening to kill a person.
The Herald said Hraichie had threatened to kill New South Wales corrective services commissioner Peter Severin.
Hraichie was moved to a high security prison earlier this year after allegedly trying to carve an 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.... "eye for an eye" symbol ["e4e"] into his cellmate’s forehead, choking him and pouring boiling water on him -- acts for which he was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and intentionally choking a person, the paper said.
The charges come just days after a 22-year-old man, who police said was "inspired by" the Islamic State group, stabbed a 59-year-old man out walking in southwestern Sydney, leaving him with serious injuries.
Last week a teenage boy was also charged with making threats at the Sydney Opera House. Both incidents follow a recent call by IS urging followers to target high-profile Australian sites.
New South Wales police said the unnamed man was being held on remand at a jail in Goulburn, 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Sydney, over other matters, and the latest charges followed the seizure of material at the prison.
"There is no current threat to the community as a result of today’s activity," NSW police said in a joint statement with their federal counterparts.
Officials say they have stopped 10 terror attacks in Australia in the past two years, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull saying the threat of a terror attack in his nation was "real."

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] French police on Wednesday incarcerated Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! a 15-year old suspected of planning an attack and using encrypted social media channels to communicate with a French Islamist holy warrior believed to be in Syria or Iraq, sources said.
In an operation led by La Belle France’s domestic intelligence agency, police swooped on the teenager in Gay Paree’ eastern 20th arrondissement. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve confirmed the operation.
"We’re working with extreme intensity to identify those we think are likely to carry out an attack," he told news hounds, adding that 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.... was recruiting "younger and younger individuals".
It is the second time a 15-year-old minor suspected of plotting to kill in the name of ISIS has been arrested in five days. A source inside the prosecutor’s office said both youngsters had used Telegram to communicate with Rachid Kassim, an ISIS holy warrior of French nationality.
Their arrests follow the detention of three women, including a 19-year-old, who had allegedly wanted to attack a Gay Paree railway station using a car laden with gas cylinders.
La Belle France is reeling from a wave of holy warrior attacks on its territory that have killed more than 230 people since January, 2015, and its intelligence services are struggling to dismantle a web of holy warrior networks inside the country.
The attacks have varied in style and profile of killer: In November last year, a squad of jacket wallahs and gunnies killed 130 people in a sophisticated and coordinated attack on multiple sites in Gay Paree; In July, a Tunisian delivery man killed 86 people when he drove his truck through a crowd on Nice’s seafront; and two murderous Moslems knifed to death an elderly priest at his altar in a church in northern La Belle France.
"What sets La Belle France apart (from other European nations) is the wide-open profile of recruit: urban or rural, Moslem or convert, man or woman," said Arnaud Danjean, a European Parliament politician who specializes in defense and security.
"Acts like the attempted attack with gas cylinders, the throat-slitting of a priest, or the guy who ploughs his truck through a crowd, that today is the face of this threat" in La Belle France, said Danjean.

[IsraelTimes] Strike against former Mosul pharmaceuticals factory eliminates ’significant chemical threat’ from jihadist group
American warplanes eliminated a "significant chemical threat" to Iraqi civilians by bombing a complex of buildings near the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... that 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.... Death Eaters had converted from pharmaceutical manufacturing to chemical weapons production, the three-star general in charge of US air operations in the Middle East said Tuesday.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian told news hounds at the Pentagon that the target was an Islamic State headquarters also used to produce lethal chemicals, possibly including chlorine and mustard gas.
He provided no details on the chemical production.
Harrigian described the Arclight airstrike as a large, well-planned operation, which destroyed more than 50 targets at the site with a variety of US warplanes, including Air Force B-52 bombers and Marine Corps F-18D attack planes.
Other US officials said later that a total of 12 US planes were used.
Harrigian said the mission was part of a broader effort to cut off the Islamic State’s main sources of revenue, kill their leaders and create "organizational dysfunction" in ways that will eliminate the group as a military threat in Iraq and Syria.

(IraqiNews.com) Qayyarah – North Oil Company’s firefighter crew has successfully doused the blazes at three more oil wells in the district.
“At least 11 oil fields were set on fire by the escaping ISIS members before the Iraqi army re-captured the district last month,” informed a security source in Qayyarah seeking anonymity.
“The oil fields were set ablaze by the fleeing ISIS members as they used the flames and the smoke as cover to escape the sight of the international coalition jets,” added the source.
Asim Jihad, a spokesperson for the Iraqi oil minister, confirmed that their firefighter units on Wednesday controlled the fire at three more oil wells. Two other oil wells are still on fire with the crews struggling to control the blazes.
After months of armed confrontations, the Iraqi army announced the liberation of the central Qayyarah district on August 25, weeks after the recapturing of the Qayyarah air base.
(IraqiNews.com) Erbil – On Tuesday night, warning leaflets were showered by Iraqi fighter jets at different areas of Nineveh province, warning the civilians of the imminent attack on ISIS in the area.
A source in the Ministry of Interior, Iraq, said, “Iraqi warplanes on Tuesday night dropped a huge number of warning leaflets over the northern province of Nineveh, urging the civilians to keep away from the ISIS positions since they will be targeted by the jets.”
As per information available with Iraqi News, the leaflet in Arabic when translated to English read – “The Iraqi forces will continue to liberate your areas from ISIS, therefore we ask you to stay away from the locations of the outfit”.
The leaflet also requested the residents of Mosul to cooperate with the security forces to bring life in their areas back to its normal phase.
The Iraqi jets have dropped warning leaflets several times over the past few months and urged the civilians to leave their areas if possible, and stay away from the military bases in order to protect themselves from the impending assault on ISIS
The US and Iraqi military officials have recently stated that preparations for an ultimate assault on Mosul have been made and the city will be liberated by the end of this year.

[IsraelTimes] Vehicles intended for use by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, fighters would be broken down, hidden in shipments entering Strip, Shin Bet says
Israeli law enforcement authorities have uncovered a smuggling ring led by Israeli citizens that brought automobiles into the Gazoo Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing, the Shin Bet security service said Wednesday.
David, Moshe and Yossi? For shame!
More than 100 vehicles are believed to have been brought into the Strip over the past nine months "for use by Hamas," specifically its military arm, the Shin Bet said.
The agency named Sa’ed Musleh, Faris Musleh and Noah Musleh as the central figures in the ring.
Oh. No doubt they are depraved on account of they're deprived, so it's all the fault of the juices.
The trio was tossed in the clink Book 'im, Mahmoud! on September 1, but Israeli security forces were continuing their investigation to determine who else was involved in the scheme, the Shin Bet said.
The agency did not say when they would be formally charged.
The three men are members of the same family, though it was not immediately clear how they were related to one another. They were all from Segev Shalom, a Bedouin town southeast of Beersheba.
The smuggling ring was uncovered in a joint operation by the Shin Bet, Israel Police and the Defense Ministry’s Crossing Authority.
According to the Shin Bet, members of the smuggling ring would break the cars down into parts and hide the pieces inside cargo heading into the Gazoo Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
In one such attempt at the crossing, however, these dismantled and concealed vehicles were spotted and confiscated.
"This method did not surprise the defense establishment, and it displayed the creativity with which Hamas operates, with its abettors, in an attempt to equip itself and become stronger," the Shin Bet said.
During their interrogations, the suspects said they "knew that they were working for people who belonged to Hamas," according to the Shin Bet’s statement.
The Defense Ministry’s Crossing Authority keeps a close watch on the trucks bearing humanitarian aid and consumer products that enter Gazoo -- sometimes hundreds a day -- in order to monitor and track the goods entering the Strip and prevent them from winding up in the hands of terrorist groups.
Israeli forces have uncovered numerous attempts to smuggle contraband into the Gazoo Strip through both the Kerem Shalom crossing and naval routes from Egypt.
On Tuesday, the Shin Bet revealed that it had in jug a 24-year-old Gazoo man, Khamis Jihad Said Ara’ishi, who had smuggled kaboom into the Strip that is believed to have been used by Hamas to create weapons.
Last month, the Defense Ministry’s Crossing Authority also uncovered a shipment of commando knives, along with graphite strips -- a potential ingredient in rocket fuel -- that had been hidden in a truck headed for Gazoo.
Update from Ynet at 5:50 a.m. ET: the cars were ATVs. So that niggling question is now answered.
[IsraelTimes] Security forces search suspicious youth at Rachel’s Crossing near Bethlehem, find weapon hidden under his shirt
A Paleostinian youth was caught with a knife at a checkpoint near the West Bank city of Bethlehem on Wednesday afternoon.
The young man arrived at the Rachel’s Crossing checkpoint into Jerusalem near Rachel’s Tomb, where his behavior raised suspicion among security personnel.
A search of the youth uncovered a knife hidden under his shirt.
[Jpost] The strikes came in response to a Gazook rocket that hit Israel.
The Israel Air Force struck three Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror infrastructure sites in the Gazoo Strip in response to an earlier rocket fired at Israel, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said Thursday morning.
The northern Gazoo sites reportedly belonged to the Hamas terror group.
Late on Wednesday night, a mortar shell landed in Israel in an open field in the Eshkol Regional Council, near the security fence with Gazoo. The mortar firing did not prompt a red alert siren and there were no reports of damage or injury from the incident.
This latest rocket comes one day after firings along the country's northern border. On Tuesday, three mortar shells fired from Syria slammed into the Golan Heights, ramping up tensions on the northern border hours after IAF jets struck Syrian artillery guns and were targeted by two surface-to-air missiles fired at them from Syria in the predawn hours of Tuesday.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly tossed in the slammer Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! 5 Paleostinians inside the occupied West Bank on Wednesday after raiding several farms in Jenin and Hebron.
According to local reports, the Israeli Defense Forces arrested 4 men in Hebron and 1 young girl in Jenin after harassing the workers for several minutes on Wednesday.
The Israeli Defense Forces did not give a reason for the arrests; however, local activists claimed the soldiers were trying to prevent them working on the farms.

[ARA News] HASAKAH – Clashes broke out between Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and militants of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria’s northeastern Hasakah Governorate, military sources reported on Thursday.
At least 38 ISIS militants were killed and five more were arrested by the YPG after clashes near the Shaddadi City in the southern countryside of Hasakah.
“Daesh terrorists attacked our basis near Shaddadi by carrying out three car bomb attacks,” YPG fighter Hajar Osman told ARA News, using an Arabic acronym for ISIS.
“Then clashes broke out between our [YPG] forces and Daesh militants in the villages of Keshkesh and Zenat in Shaddadi suburb. We forced the group to withdraw after killing 38 terrorists and arresting five others,” the source said.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A number of US-controlled armed units, including Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... , have announced their unwillingness to cease fire in Syria, the Russian Armed Forces General Staff said Wednesday.

[ALMASDARNEWS] In a somewhat silent ten-day offensive, ISIS fighters have gradually retaken three hill tops from rebel factions in the mountainous terrain of eastern Qalamoun.
Effectively, Jaish al-Islam ...Liwa al-Islam (Brigade of Islam) was established by Zahran Alloush, the son of Saudi-based religious scholar Abdullah Mohammed Alloush, after Syrian authorities released him from prison in mid-2011 where he had been serving time for his Salafist activism.

(FSA) affiliated Ahmad al-Abdo brigade have lost control of Jabal Zubaydi, Tall Daba'a and Jabal al-Afa'i.
Rebel factions and the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) are still on good terms in the eastern Qalamoun, a somewhat rare scenario in other Syrian regions still affected by more than 5 years of war.
Previously, the SAA has provided air support against ISIS in favor of Jaish al-Islam and the Ahmad al-Abdo brigade. In turn, rebel commanders have vowed not to harass nearby SAA forces.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Minutes ago, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on Tuesday, their Air Force killed 250 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.... holy warriors and destroyed 15 of their vehicles near the ancient city of Palmyra (Tadmur) in the Homs Governorate.
"Anti-ISIS fight is going on. Yesterday, the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted Arclight airstrikes to the north of Palmyra where a group of ISISholy warriors was preparing offensive on the city," Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznikhir, first deputy chief of the General Staff's Main Operational Department, said at a news briefing in the Defense Ministry.
The Islamic State was expected to launch a large-scale offensive at Palmyra in the coming days after they conducted several small attacks near the International Highway over the last two weeks.
Lt. Gen.Poznikhir did not specify which airport the Russian Air Force used to launch this attack; however, several reports last week indicated that Moscow and Tehran are once again negotiating the use of the Hamedan Airbase in western Iran.

Wait, is this still the truce? If so, it seems to be working out well for the Russians.
(IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – A local source in Nineveh province informed Iraqi News on Wednesday that ISIS has threatened Mosul residents of 20 whipped if they were found carrying the warning leaflets dropped by the Iraqi Air Force on Tuesday night.
“As the Iraqi forces prepare to launch an all-out offensive against ISIS in the province, Iraqi fighter jets warned the citizens on Tuesday night by dropping warning leaflets, urging them to stay away from ISIS sites. The militant outfit on the other hand today, mobilized its members to collect the leaflets and also warned the residents that they will be whipped with 20 whips if any leaflets were found from their possession.”
It may be mentioned here that Iraqi warplanes on Tuesday night dropped a huge number of warning leaflets over the northern province of Nineveh, urging the civilians to keep away from the ISIS positions since they will be targeted by the jets.
