Several civilians have been killed in an US airstrike in eastern Afghanistan, local officials said Friday, the latest setback in efforts to bring peace to the war-torn country.
"On Thursday afternoon, the American forces bombarded a civilian private vehicle... when they were travelling inside the district," he told AFP.
"Unfortunately, in the airstrike we have casualties. Eleven people were killed and one wounded. All the victims, which included women and children, were civilians and they were from one family. Crowded civilian vehicle.
"The victims were beyond recognition, So how do we know they were civilians, and from one family? and they were placed inside the sacks and were buried late last night," he added.
One wonders how such a mistake could happen, since there is no mention of any active fighting (and resulting confusion) in the area: was the vehicle 'authorized' as a legitimate target by a Talibunny pretending to be an Afghan official?

[Garowe Online] Unidentified Gunmen killed a security official in the heart of Bosaso, the commercial hub of the northeastern semi-autonomous region of Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998.

Abdi Ali Muse (Abdi Dheere), the deputy commander of central Police station was rubbed out by near the compound of the first degree court of Bari region in the coastal, who immediately expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
The reason behind the killing of Muse is unclear, as no group has yet grabbed credit for the attack against the official, which was the latest in series of liquidations in the town over the past days.
Police authorities cordoned off the crime area, and have launched an investigation and a manhunt mission to capture the suspects thought to be Al shabaab assassins, according to the eyewitnesses.

[AlAhram] Egypt's interior ministry has announced that a man suspected of involvement in the deadly armed attack on Christian pilgrims in Minya in May was killed during a police shootout.
A statement published on the ministry's official Facebook page announced that the suspect was killed on Wednesday night during a shootout with police forces in the hilly area of Qena governorate in Upper Egypt.
In May, gunnies attacked buses carrying Coptic Christians to a monastery in Minya governorate. Thirty people were killed and at least 21 injured.
The suspect is a member of a terrorist cell that was involved in the attacks on the Church of St Peter and St Paul in Cairo last December, the Palm Sunday attacks on churches in Tanta and Alexandria, an attack on El-Nakab checkpoint in Wadi Gadid in January, as well as the Minya attack on pilgrims, the statement said.
Possibly the above was a preliminary report, followed by the below:
[IsraelTimes] Egyptian interior ministry says one officer also killed during shootout in south of country
Egypt’s interior ministry said Thursday its forces had killed three jihadists suspected of involvement in deadly attacks against the country’s Coptic Christian minority.
An officer also died in a shootout in the southern province of Qena on Tuesday, security officials said.
Egypt is battling a local affiliate of 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.... terror group, which has claimed attacks that have killed more than 100 Copts since December.
The shootout occurred after a suspected jihadist, who had previously been detained, guided police to an alleged hideout in Qena, the ministry said in a statement.
"As soon as the security forces reached the location, the terrorist elements suddenly opened fire using all types of weapons, which forced them to retaliate," it said.
The shootout led to the killing of the detained suspect, a policeman who was guarding him, and two other suspected jihadists, the ministry said.
At the hideout, police found weapons and "gold jewellery which was probably stolen from some of the Christian victims" of a previous attack.

French farmer who helped migrants gets longer suspended sentence
8 August
[IsraelTimes] A French appeals court on Tuesday increases the sentence against a farmer who has made a point of helping migrants cross the border from Italy, but stops short of jailing him. The court in Aix-en-Provence gives activist Cedric Herrou a four-month suspended sentence — half the length the prosecutor had asked for, but more than his initial sentence.
Herrou, an organic olive farmer, is a leading figure in Roya Citoyenne, an association dedicated to helping migrants. Last month he was arrested and charged as he accompanied 156 migrants to Marseille to help them file their asylum requests.
German police nab crooks with tighter anti-terror checks
7 August
[DW] There are tighter passport controls across the EU this summer, aimed at keeping track of suspected terrorists. A side effect is that police have been able to catch up with other wanted criminals.
Many refugees thought that after two years everything would be fine: language, apartment, work, family reunification. That idea has since been crushed. The processing by the authorities is still dragging on. Some of them still don't have a residence permit. They're struggling with the German language. The German course teaches them the basics, but in order to speak really well they need to have contact with native speakers and practise a lot. Finding an apartment is not easy, even for German citizens. In some cities, getting an appointment with the authorities is like winning the lottery, and the processing takes ages. At the same time, with every passing day their fears grow for their families back home. Many don't know what their lives will be like in six months' time.
It's an alarming development when many young people feel they've been abandoned. The state must take care not to lose these people. Many feel they aren't getting enough support. They have no prospects, but they're looking for something to hold on to. Things happen that we don't see and are no longer doing anything about. Groups form according to nationality (Afghans against Arabs) or political allegiance (for/against Assad in Syria). We pay no attention to these conflicts until they result in altercations and violence. We used to see photos from the LaGeSo [State Office for Health and Social Affairs] in Berlin; pictures of crowds of people, waiting. We were outraged. Now these people have become invisible, yet many are still living in refugee hostels.

Renad Bakiev is detained in the southern city of Adana over suspicions that he plotted to crash an American aircraft or attack the Incirlik air base using a drone, Adana police say in a statement.
Bakiev also intended to attack the local Alevi community in Adana city, the statement says. It says he was affiliated with IS and had previously traveled to Syria.
The Alevi religious minority is an offshoot of Shia Islam and is the largest religious group in Turkey after Sunnis. IS regards Alevis as heretics.
Bakiev had also used a messaging app widely used by ISIS sympathisers to appeal for 2,800 Ottoman Turkish Lira (£610) from other bully boyz to buy a drone, Adena police said.
During police interrogations, Bakiev admitted to previously having made an attempt to attack U.S. forces at the base, but that this had been unsuccessful.

They're comin' to get me, Maw! in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , a government minister has said, stressing on the issue’s sensitivity.
"ISIS (IS) children is a reality that we avoid discussing because it is highly sensitive, and some take it for an act of defamation," Mohammed Shayya al-Sudani, Iraq’s Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, told Alsumaria TV on Wednesday.
The minister said his ministry had cooperated with security authorities in handling IS fighters’ children who are less than a year of age. "We bring them to Baghdad and subject them to care before investigating about their relatives through DNA tests," al-Sudani stated.
The minister said it was dangerous to leave unauthorized organizations to handle the issue away from the government’s legal channels.
Observers have said that Islamic State fighters’ families would pose a challenge to Iraqi authorities after the recapture of the group’s havens across the country.
Following the liberation of Mosul, IS’s largest stronghold in Iraq, early July, authorities in Nineveh province said they were isolating bully boys’ families in rehabilitation camps.

[Breitbart] Hamas security forces arrested dozens of jihadists affiliated with Islamic State ideology in wake of rocket fire from Gazoo into Israel on Tuesday evening, a senior jihadist told Breitbart Jerusalem.
According to Gazoo-based jihadist Abou Baker al-Maqdesi, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, began a widespread operation since yesterday to arrest jihadists, mostly those who identify with 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.... . Maqdisi said that some of those tossed in the calaboose You have the right to remain silent... were released from Hamas prisons in the past few weeks after serving months-long sentences together with hundreds of jihadist prisoners.
One terror rocket was fired Tuesday from the Hamas-controlled Gazoo toward the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council. No damage was caused in the incident, which sparked the wave of arrests.
The Israeli air force responded to the rocket fire by striking Hamas positions in Gazoo. According to the Paleostinians, the Israeli air force struck one position in western Gazoo City and another in the north of the Strip. Both positions belonged to the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the so-called military wing of Hamas.
Hamas-affiliated media claimed that three people were maimed in the Israeli Arclight airstrikes.
According to al-Maqdesi, the arrests carried out by Hamas began immediately after the rocket fire and before the Israeli retaliation. However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... the jihadist refused to identify or give any personal details regarding those purportedly arrested or their precise number. al-Maqdesi added that Hamas security forces increased deployment along the border with Israel after the rocket fire in order to prevent any further launches.
Hundreds of IS-affiliated jihadists are said to be imprisoned in Hamas facilities as part of the contention between Hamas and the jihadists and Hamas’ efforts to improve relations with Egypt, feeding tensions between Hamas and IS fighters in Sinai.
As the arrests continued, Hamas condemned the Israeli strikes in Gazoo.
Hamas front man Fawzi Barhoum said, "The Gazoo Strip won’t continue to be a testing ground for Israeli weapons," and claimed that Israel "bears responsibility for the attacks and their implications."
Barhoum’s comment about Israeli responsibility came in response to reports in the Gazoo Strip that the Israeli planes that struck in Gazoo were brand-new F-35s Israel recently received from the U.S. The Israeli army did not specify in its statements which aircraft had been deployed in the strikes.

The Chicago solution requires no intervention. Please pass the salt.
[AlMasdar] Units of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) besieged inside the strategic city of Deir Ezzor have started offensive actions against occupying ISIS forces with the apparent objective of retaking the entire area from the terrorist group.
Yesterday, SAA troops clashed heavily with 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 inside Deir Ezzor city. Russia Today’s Ruptly group has released two minutes of footage showing this engagement.
The firefights seen in the video are said to be part of a series of localized operations inside Deir Ezzor by the SAA aimed at gradually ejecting ISIS bandidosfaceless myrmidons from the city ‐ or at the very least putting additional pressure on them ‐ whilst long-awaited relieving forces push in from southern Raqqa and eastern Homs.
Despite being in a highly unfavorable strategic situation inside Deir Ezzor, the SAA has of late launched a series of successful tactical attacks against occupying ISIS Death Eaters inside the city area, taking ground in some cases.

[AlMasdar] The Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) has suffered a major defeat today as their forces retreated from several points along the Jordanian border.
Backed by Hashd al-Sha’abi (Iraqi paramilitary) and the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Corps captured 151st Border Garrison today after launching a powerful attack along the Jordanian border.
According to a military source in southern Syria, the Syrian Arab Army and Hashd al-Sha’abi captured a total of 57km along the Jordanian border, forcing the Free Syrian Army’s Ahmad al-Abdo unit to mass retreat to Jordan.
The Syrian military has now connected the 134th, 139th, and 151st border-garrisons in the al-Sweida Governorate.
Today’s advance on the Jordanian border by the Syrian military marks the first time they control the entire Sweida-Jordan border.
[AlMasdar] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and other pro-government forces have officially liberated some 1,300 square kilometers of territory in Syria’s Badia al-Sham region as a result of recent offensive operations across this battlespace.
The operation ‐ initiated about one week ago ‐ has served to severely undermine the strategic position of Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) mercenaries operating in the great southern desert region.
This is especially true after the SAA and its allies forcibly ejected FSA bandidosforces of Evil from their last positions along the entire section of Jordanian border that runs parallel to Syria’s As-Suwayda Governorate.

[AlMasdar] Over 1,000 fighters of the US-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been killed during engagements inside Raqqa city over the last two months according to an info-graphic released by ISIS propaganda.
According to the ISIS info-graphic (shown below), jihadist faceless myrmidons fighting inside Raqqa have inflicted losses of the SDF to the effect of:
1,040 fighters killed (207 by sniper fire); and
24 vehicles destroyed (6 damaged) including two Humvees, one bulldozer, three Toyota pickups, three BMPs, fourteen “other types” of vehicles and a drone.
Furthermore, ISIS claims that its forces carried out a total of 54 attacks on the SDF of which four were Inghimasis (shock troop) assaults, thiry-six were suicide missions and fourteen were "normal" engagements.
Realistically speaking, it is hard to believe that SDF manpower losses are actually as high as ISIS claims they are; more likely it is the case that SDF Raqqa battle-related deaths are around half to one-third of the number suggested in the jihadist info-graphic.

[AlMasdar] Syrian Arab Army (SAA) forces, led by the Elite Republican Guard, continue to rout ISIS in the northeastern countryside of Hama Governorate, today liberating a number of key locations from the terrorist group.
According to military sources, the SAA was able to secure three key areas from ISIS after a brief engagement with the jihadist faction’s bandidossnuffies south of Ithriyah town, these include the runs of Kharab al-Katnah, the mountain of Jabal Dawylab and the hilltop of Tal Mazroor.
Al-Masdar News currently has no information regarding losses sustained by either the SAA or ISIS as a result of today’s engagement.
In any case, this recent advance by the SAA comes several days after it liberated the village of Marinia (for a second time) and a number of points south of it from ISIS.
The offensive operation being witnessed in this region of Syria is all part of an ongoing effort by pro-government forces to create a large buffer zone south of the Ithriyah to Resafa highway and to further isolate 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.... bandidossnuffies in Hama Governorate from their comrades in the easternmost regions of Syria (e.g. Deir Ezzor).

After this bombardment, SAA forces ‐ led by Elite Republican Guard’s 105th Brigade and 106th Brigade stormed rebel positions in southern Ayn Tarma rapidly securing a whole building block located north of the Sunbul fuel station.
This successful push by the SAA forced Faylaq al-Rahman bully boyz to retreat to the central area of Ayn Tarma after suffering ten casualties.
The Salafist tough guys nonetheless left behind one sniper to delay SAA advance units. The SAA managed to located the marksman and neutralize him.
