[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Saudi security forces announced the "elimination" of a wanted terrorist in the eastern town of Awamiya, sources have revealed to Al Arabiya.net.
Maitham Ali al-Qadihi, 28, is the brother of three desperados of the Qadihi family. Their names were linked to the terrorist attacks in Qatif. Their cases focused on drug trafficking, kidnapping and terrorist operations throughout the past two decades.
Jassim Ali al-Qadihi, Ghazi Ali al-Qadihi have previously been detained. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... Bassem Ali al-Qadahi, and now Maitham died in security operations.
Maitham was killed after he was surrounded by security forces in the al-Masoura neighborhood. For four years, Maitham has been used as a launch pad to carry out terrorist attacks on security forces and civilians in eastern 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...

[Breitbart] Charlene Downes, 14 at the time of her disappearance, was last seen in Blackpool in 2003 and is believed to have been not only murdered but that her killers disposed of her body by putting it into kebab meat at a local seaside kebab shop.
Police have said they believe Charlene may have been linked to grooming gangs in Blackpool and say that they discovered at least 60 underage girls had been sexually groomed at "honey pot" takeaways in the city. The Daily Telegraph reported in 2011 that these children had been targeted with food, drugs, and alcohol in return for sex in the city.
Fourteen years later, authorities now say they have tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! a 51-year-old man in connection with her disappearance only after Charlene’s parents were able to force police to examine CCTV footage that had been in storage for 12 years, the Daily Mail reports.
A front man for Lancashire Police released a statement after the arrest saying: "The man, aged 51, who lived in Blackpool at the time of Charlene’s disappearance, is currently in jug. Charlene was just 14 years old when she was last seen in Blackpool on Saturday, November 1, 2003. A £100,000 reward remains on offer for information leading to the conviction of her killer or killers."
Charlene’s mother expressed outrage that the CCTV footage had been kept hidden for over a decade saying: "It is unbelievable that they have had that footage all those years and never used it. It is an absolute disgrace and an insult to the memory of my dead daughter."
She added that if the footage were available sooner than the 2007 murder trial, which, due to police error, led to the acquittal of Funny Boyz kebab worker Ilyad Albattikh for murder and Mohammed Reveshi for disposal of Charlene’s body, may have turned out differently.
At the time of the trial, the court was told the fast food shop owner had "joked" Downes had been chopped up and put into kebabs that were sold to the public. After the acquittal, the two men were paid £250,000 in compensation.
Earlier this year, another kebab shop made headlines after it was revealed that a 16-year-old girl was brutally gang raped by multiple Afghan Moslem men.
Moslem grooming gangs also continue to plague the North of England, according to recent reports, in which police allege that the Yorkshire town of Keighley may be home to a new grooming scandal involving over 179 individual sex crimes.
The most infamous case of sexual abuse of maidens still remains that of Rotherham in which over 1,400 underage girls were systematically raped, tortured, and many forced into prostitution and addiction to drugs. The rapists remained on the lam for so long largely because police were too afraid of the backlash for mentioning the ethnic origins of the Moslem male perpetrators.

Anbar (IraqiNews.com) Thirteen Islamic State militants were killed in an airstrike in western Anbar on Wednesday, Ikhnews reported.
“Army jets shelled IS members gathering in Rawa and Qaim towns, western Anbar, killing 13 members, most of whom are foreigners,” the source said.
“IS transferred its main headquarters on main roads in the two towns to residential areas in the wake of army airstrikes,” the source said.
On Tuesday, Sputnik news agency quoted local and security sources as saying that the group gathered the militants at the 25 KM region, west of Rutba, located western Anbar, to attack Iraqi common borders with Syria and Jordan.
Lt.Gen Abdul-Amir Yarallah, commander of the Nineveh Operation, ordered to besiege IS havens in western Anbar preparing to invade them, a military source said earlier this week.
Iraqi fighter jets reportedly dropped last week millions of leaflets informing locals that liberation offensives for the province were nearing.
Fighter jets from the Iraqi army and the international coalition have also regularly pounded IS locations in the province.
Iraqi troops were able to return life back to normal in the biggest cities of Anbar including Fallujah, Ramadi and others after recapturing them. However, Anbar’s western towns of Annah, Qaim and Rawa are still held by the extremist group since 2014, when it emerged to proclaim a self-styled Islamic Caliphate.

[IsraelTimes] Security forces checking all traffic coming in and out of Yatta; victim said to be at death's door
Security forces on Wednesday placed a cordon around the West Bank town of Yatta, hours after a Paleostinian resident stabbed a supermarket worker in a central Israeli town.
All traffic coming in and out of the village was being checked, the IDF said in a statement.
Earlier Israeli troops raided the Yatta home of Ismail Ibrahim Ismail Abu Aram, 19, who was jugged You have the right to remain silent... after stabbing and critically wounding an Israeli man, at a supermarket in the city of Yavneh.
Just before noon, Abu Aram attacked a 43-year-old employee of a Shufersal supermarket, stabbing him multiple times in the chest, neck and head. The brutal attack was captured by the store’s security camera (warning: graphic content).
Abu Aram expeditiously departed at a goodly pace but was tackled and pinned to the ground by civilian bystanders until police arrived and arrested him.
The victim was rushed to the nearby Kaplan Medical Center with life threatening injuries, a hospital spokesperson said. He was still at death's door after a seven-hour surgery, according to Channel 2 News.
In the past two years of increased violence in the West Bank and Israel, several Paleostinian faceless myrmidons have come from the village of Yatta, notably the two gunnies who carried out the Sarona Market terror attack in June 2016, in which four people were killed and over a dozen maimed.
According to the Shin Bet security service, Abu Aram entered Israel illegally, without a required permit. He had no history of terror activity and was transferred to the Shin Bet security service for questioning.
Police placed a gag order on other details of the investigation into the stabbing attack.
An IDF spokesperson said the soldiers had not arrested anyone in Yatta, but were "conducting searches" in the house.
She would not elaborate further on what the troops were looking to find.
[IsraelTimes] Israeli soldiers in the West Bank arrest a Paleostinian woman carrying a knife at the Gush Etzion Junction, the army says
According to the IDF, the Paleostinian woman walked toward a group of soldiers guarding the intersection while displaying suspicious behavior.
After the soldiers called on the suspect to stop she threw her knife to the ground. She was incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! and taken in for questioning..

1) the pointing finger shows us the attacker is lurking at the end of the aisle having approached from the left, but we don't see the approach.
2) the attacker approaches the victim with arms wide, perhaps because of the backpack, perhaps an extreme demonstration he is open, vulnerable, unarmed. in later action he does not appear constrained by the pack.
3) the victim sees him approach and waits just a little too long to move out of the path of the attacker, a general gesture of disrespect and some assumption of empowerment.
4) the attacker brushes past the facing victim in extremely close proximity to soft knife targets heart, abdomen and liver.
5) unthreatened, the victim turns away exposing first right, then left kidney and a rear throat slash. the classic sentry attack.
6) the attacker passes then turns left drawing the knife with his right hand lifting his shirt with the left hand. maybe a two handed cross draw, maybe someone tucked the knife in his left pocket. the left turn, right draw hides the weapon from the victim but it takes two hands.
7) the attacker raises the knife overhead and charges the victim clearly signaling his intent of an overhand strike and allowing the victim to assume defensive tactics. a much more difficult approach.
8) the attacker continues to flail at his victim, overhead, at arms length until he loses his weapon.
My sense is the attack was planned by someone else, the victim was not a target of opportunity, and the attacker was untrained and inexperienced.

According to a military source, most of the group’s fighters had fled their positions just before the Syrian Army managed to cordon-off the pocket a few days ago. However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... a detachment of some twenty suicide troops remained in the pocket to slow the army’s advance.
