[AlAhram] Egypt's Army said in a statement Saturday evening that security forces had incarcerated Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! 12 "extremely dangerous" leaders of Ansar Bait al-Maqdis, known as "Sinai Province" in central Sinai.
The statement said the apprehended leaders were arrested while they held meeting to plan a range of "deadly" attacks in the near future.
Egypt has been battling waves of turban attacks in North Sinai, centred mainly in Rafah, Shiekh Zuewied and Arish cities since the ouster of former Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July 2013, following nation-wide protests against his rule.
[AlAhram] The United States on Sunday launched a new wave of air raids against al-Qaeda in Yemen, as Islamist turbans fled from towns being targeted to mountainous areas, security sources said.
At least five early morning raids hit targets linked to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... (AQAP) in the southern Shabwa and central Baida provinces, security sources told AFP.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Among the areas from which the radical group pulled its operatives is the Baida town of Ghail, where top AQAP commander Abdulelah al-Dhahab has reportedly been holed up, the sources said.
Suspected AQAP gunnies meanwhile killed five soldiers at a checkpoint in the southern province of Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... , which has itself been hit by air strikes in recent days, security sources and medics there said.
Since Thursday, Washington, which regards AQAP as the Islamist turbans network's most dangerous branch, has stepped up its air and dronezaps on Yemeni provinces including Baida, Shabwa and Abyan.
The Pentagon on Friday confirmed it had carried out more than 30 strikes against AQAP, conducted in partnership with the Yemeni government.
Local officials and tribal sources told AFP that at least 20 Islamist turbans were killed on Thursday and Friday.
The bombing campaign comes after a botched January 29 raid against AQAP left multiple civilians and a US Navy SEAL dead in the first military strike ordered by President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... Al-Qaeda has exploited a power vacuum created by two years of war between Yemen's government and sock puppets of the Medes and the Persians who control the capital to consolidate its presence, particularly in the south and east.

Short of massive sweeps requiring hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a huge logistics tail, aggressive raids and ambushes are the correct approach.
Drone zapping 'eaches' is a half-asses approach that harvest little if any actionable intelligence and prolongs the conflict.

Beso, seriously is prolonging the conflict a bad thing?
As long as it stays contained having the Iranian faction killing the AQAP folks and IS when found; and vice versa just seems like a reason to stock up on pop-corn.

[Daily Excelsior] Two bully boyz and a police man were killed and five security personnel including an Army Major were maimed in a fierce overnight shootout in Tral area of Southern Kashmire’s Pulwama district.
The shootout that started last evening continued till morning in which two bully boyz Aqib Molvi of Tral and Umar of Pakistain were killed. A constable of Special Operations Group of Jammu and Kashmire Police, Manzoor Ahmad Naik of Uri was also killed. Three coppers including an Army Major was also injured in the shootout.
However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... the security forces delayed the clearance of the debris due to stone pelting festivities that were going on in the area since last night. Dead body of Aqib Molvi and two AK-47 rifles were recovered while the body of Umar was under debris.
Director General of Police, S P Vaid told news hounds in Srinagar that two bully boyz have been killed. "The bully boyz have been identified as Aqib Molvi of Hayuna, Tral and Umar of Pakistain".
The encounter resumed today evening after one of the turban fired from the debris of the house. "We found two bodies in the rubble in the afternoon. When our men went to collect them, one of the turbans, who had pretended to be dead, fired from the rubble in which one of our constable was injured in his leg due to a bullet fired from the turban," he said.
"The turban was killed in the retaliatory fire from security forces," the DGP said, adding, that the operation is "almost over" as security forces are clearing the debris from any ammunition.
The shootout began last evening when security forces cordoned off Hafoo village in Nazneepora area in Tral. "We had specific inputs about presence of bully boyz in the village," Vaid said.
The shootout lasted for more than 20 hours, with exchange of heavy gunfire between bully boyz and security forces. Security forces used IED blasts to raze the house to the ground.
An SOG man, Manzoor Ahmad Naik of Uri, of police was also killed while five security forces personnel, including an army major, one policeman, two soldiers and a CRPF man, were maimed in the encounter.
Clashes erupted near the encounter site as protesters pelted stones on the security forces. Several protesters were maimed in the festivities as security forces fired teargas canisters and pellets to disperse them.
In the meantime, to pay homage to constable Manzoor Ahmad Naik, a wreath laying ceremony was held in DPL Srinagar. Minister for Education Altaf Bukhari led civil, police and security force officers and jawans in laying floral wreaths.
Among others who presented wreaths and flowers included DGP S.P Vaid, IG (Ops) CRPF Zulfikar Hassan, IGP Kashmire S.J.M Gillani, IG (Adm) CRPF Ravideep Sahi, DIG CKR Ghulam Hassan Bhat, Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Farooq Ahmad Lone, DIG CRPF P.S. Rajora, DIG CRPF Narender Paul, DIG Armed Kashmire Rafiq-ul-Hassan and a number of SsP and other senior coppers.
A Police front man said: "As has been reported constable Manzoor Ahmad Naik son of Faqeer Mohammad Naik resident of Salamabad, Uri gave supreme sacrifice of his life while fighting the bully boyz in an encounter in Haffoo area of Tral. The martyr is survived by an aged father, sister, brother, wife and a 4 years old son."
"The martyr was laid to rest in his native place at Salamabad where SSP Baramulla Imtiyaz Hussain attended the last rites of the martyr", he added.

[Iraq News] Iraqi government forces pushed deeper Sunday into western djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... seeking to drive out Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Death Eaters, storming four major districts, while a video claimed to show the arrest of the cousin of the group’s supreme leader.
Chief of the Joint Operations Command’s operations in Nineveh, Lt. Gen. Abdul-Amir Yarallah, said in a statement that Federal Police and Rapid Response forces invaded the districts of Dindan and Dawasah, in the easternmost area of western Mosul, while the Counter-Terrorism Force invaded al-Sumoud and Tal al-Rumman in the westernmost area.
Iraqi forces recaptured eastern Mosul in January, ending three months of fighting to retake the city which fell to Islamic State holy warriors in 2014. A new offensive began in mid February to retake the western region, with generals from the Iraqi forces and the allied U.S.-led coalition reporting faster collapses and weaker resistance on IS behalf.
Western Mosul is smaller in space from the eastern side, albeit denser in population and residential areas, with officials predicting to retake that area within six months.
On Sunday, social media outlets circulated a video showing police forces walking a handcuffed, bearded Death Eater whom they claimed to be the cousin of Islamic State’s supreme leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... . The officers did not mention the holy warriors exact name. Baghdadi’s exact location and survival have been subject to clashing, unconfirmed reports since operations to free the city sat out.

Islamic State has executed hundreds of civilians and security members since it took over large areas in Iraq to proclaim a self-styled "Islamic Caliphate". The group carried out the executions of its victims, which it proudly posted through its media, over accusations of collaboration with the Iraqi security authorities or for attempting to flee areas under its control.
Iraqi forces and allied militias have found several mass graves in Islamic State-held areas since the Iraqi government, backed by a U.S.-led military coalition, launched a major security offensive in October 2016 to recapture the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Islamic State’s largest stronghold in Iraq.

No comment has yet been made of the civilian casualties, but the Iraqi government has reiterated that ensuring civilians’ safety was a top priority in its Mosul campaign. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... several incidents were reported where security operations targeting IS had left civilian casualties, prompting international rights groups to urge parties to battles to heed civilian lives.
The U.S. army said Saturday that 21 non-combatants were killed in nine separate strikes by the U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria between November and January, bringing the total of civilians unintentionally killed by the coalition since the start of operations against the bully boy group in 2014 to 220.

Abdul-Amir Yarallah, said in a statement that Federal Police and Rapid Response forces invaded the districts of Dindan and Dawasah, in the easternmost area of western Mosul, while the Counter-Terrorism Force invaded al-Sumoud and Tal al-Rumman in the westernmost area.
Iraqi forces recaptured eastern Mosul in January, ending three months of fighting to retake the city which fell to Islamic State Lions of Islam in 2014. A new offensive began in mid February to retake the western region, with generals from the Iraqi forces and the allied U.S.-led coalition reporting faster collapses and weaker resistance on IS behalf.
Western Mosul is smaller in space from the eastern side, albeit denser in population and residential areas, with officials predicting to retake that area within six months.

[IsraelTimes] Border Police officers jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... two Paleostinian men at the Tapuah Junction in the northern West Bank on suspicion of planning a stabbing attack at the site, police said Sunday.
The two are residents of the nearby city of Nablus.
According to a statement by police, a border policeman stationed at the junction saw two figures walking through an open field near the intersection.
Officers approached the two, found one man in possession of a knife, and arrested them both.
After questioning the men, officials concluded that one had carried out a reconnaissance of the site and brought the other man with him to carry out an attack, police said.
Security forces are regularly stationed at and near the junction, which has been a flashpoint of violence over the past year.
[Bangkok Post] A local leader was gunned down in front of his home in Yala province. Madolor Salae, chairman of a local administration organization in Muang district, was exiting his vehicle to close the gate of his house yesterday morning when two men on a motorcycle drove up and fired multiple shots at him before fleeing. Madolor was taken to Yala Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The murder is the latest violent incident in the Muslim-dominated far South, which is raising new concerns among Thai authorities and local communities. The Buddhist network in Yala recently asked the government for more protection and financial help for families of victims.
Their calls stem from a series of recent attacks that have targeted Buddhist villagers, including the killing of four people in Narathiwat province last week and a couple in Songkhla province on February 28. The pair were killed and their bodies dumped in a river. Police investigators believe the attackers wanted their car to make a car bomb.
