[Daily Caller] A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress, America’s longest-serving bomber, set a new record when it unleashed hell against terrorists on a combat mission in Afghanistan last month, according to the Department of Defense.
During an expanded strike mission, B-52 bombers dropped 19 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) on the Taliban in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, Air Forces Central Command spokeswoman Capt. AnnMarie Annicelli told Military.com. The strategic bombers were targeting opium and heroin facilities to cripple the revenue stream.
The Air Force "used B-52s with their new conventional rotary launcher," Air Force Brig. Gen. Lance Bunch, the director of NATO’s Resolute Support mission explained Tuesday. "Of note, it was the single most ‐ largest number of precision munitions ever dropped from a B-52."
Bunch revealed that the U.S. military now has the authority to take the fight to the enemy in a new way. Under the Trump administration, the military now has greater freedom and independence with regard to how it chooses to engage the enemy.
Fuck you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you over there, and you, especially you, and your dog, fuck you too, and you, and your goat, and you, and you, and all of you.

[DAWN] Saudi-led air strikes have killed 28 Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... rebels south of the port of Hodeida on Yemen's west coast, medics and security sources close to the faceless myrmidons said on Friday.
The reports came as the Uited Nations refugee agency UNHCR warned of a new displacement of civilians in the area.
The security sources said the air strikes on Thursday and Friday hit five towns controlled by the Houthis around 70 kilometres south of Hodeida.
Medical sources said 28 Houthis were killed and 17 others maimed in the strikes.
There has been no let-up in the air campaign against the rebels that a Saudi-led coalition has been waging since March 2015.
The air strikes have intensified since the December 4 killing of ex-president former President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... at the hands of the Houthis after his alliance with the rebels collapsed.
At the same time forces of the Yemeni government have stepped up attacks on the rebels and last week retook the Red Sea town of Khokha from the Houthis.
The security sources said new festivities broke out on Friday as government forces tried to push towards Hodeida.
UNHCR said it was "bracing for further displacement and a spike in humanitarian needs as hostilities intensify in frontline areas on Yemen's west coast".
Hodeida is the main conduit for UN-supervised deliveries of food and medicine but the rebel-held port is controlled by the Houthis and remains closed, forcing the UN to divert aid supplies to other areas.
"To date we have deployed emergency relief items for 2,000 families in Hodeida, and a further 2,000 aid kits are on their way along with 2,000 emergency shelter kits," the UNHCR said in a statement.

[Dhaka Tribune] Abdus Samad is known as "Mamu", or "uncle", by everyone in Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (New JMB), the group responsible for the July 2016 terrorist attack on the Holey Artisan bakery in Gulshan.
At a young age Samad earned the Dawra-e-Hadith degree, the highest degree offered by a Qawmi Madrasa. An expert in Arabic language, Samad has the gift of persuasion and could sway people to his Jihadi cause simply by speaking to them.
Samad played an important role in New JMB, personally recruiting over 50 youths into the krazed killer organization.
In October 2013 he introduced Bangladeshi-origin Canadian citizen Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury to Bangladeshi krazed killer leaders. Tamim went on to become the leader of New JMB, criminal masterminding the Gulshan attack before he was killed in a police raid in Narayanganj in late August 2016.
Samad also played a vital role in formation of Junud Al Tawhid Al Khalifa.
The details of Samad’s illicit activities fell under the spotlight after his arrest last Wednesday. The 29-year-old suspected krazed killer divulged critical information related to krazed killer operations in Bangladesh during his initial interrogation.
On Thursday, a court granted the Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of police a five-day remand of Samad for further questioning.
"When Tamim formed Junud Al Tawhid Al Khalifa in Dhaka, he made Samad his second in command," CTTC chief Monirul Islam said.
Samad served the New JMB in a variety of ways, most importantly as a policy maker, recruiter, fund raiser and bomb maker. He also trained new recruits in firearm use and explosives.

[PRESSTV] Russia has dismantled a cell of the ISISTakfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group in Saint Petersburg that was planning to carry out imminent terror attacks in the northern city.
"The FSB identified and stopped the activities of a clandestine cell" of ISIS supporters, the Russian Federal Security Service ... the successor to the KGB... (FSB) said in a statement on Friday, adding that they "planned to commit attacks on December 16."
The security service further said that the group planned "the killing of citizens" in crowded areas of Russia’s second city.
Russian forces placed in durance vile Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! seven members of the cell during raids that took place on Wednesday and Thursday.
According to the statement, a "large number of explosives used to make homemade bombs, automatic rifles, munitions and bully boy literature" were seized during the police operation.
FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov said on Tuesday that Russia was on alert for the possible return of Takfiri snuffies from Syria ahead of the FIFA World Cup and the presidential election in 2018.
Back in April, some 14 people were killed in an attack in Saint Petersburg.

[Daily Caller] On Sept. 24, 2014, ISIS inspired Islamic convert Alton Nolen entered a food processing plant in Moore, Oklahoma. He took out a butcher knife and beheaded Colleen Hufford and critically stabbed Tracy Johnson. Both were employees at the factory. Nolen, who had been recently suspended from the plant, was a practicing Muslim who was obsessed with gruesome Islamic State beheading videos going viral at the time.
Nolen was shot and apprehended after his rampage.
Nolen was facing either the death penalty or life in prison without parole after a jury trial in Oklahoma.
Friday, the judge handed down his sentence: Death.
Judge Lori Walkley took a jury recommendation for the death penalty after months of deliberation. Nolen’s defense argued that he was mentally ill and that his readings of the Quran affected his ability to discern right from wrong. However, recordings of Nolen taken from the hospital and played for the jury showed no remorse over the brutal attack.
Nolen’s beheading was particularly horrific for the country as it occurred during a time when Americans were being savagely beheaded on video by ISIS in Syria.
Not to forget the chilling interview with a former member of the Greater Islamic Society of Oklahoma City. No surprise that the mosque was teaching the fundamentalist Islamic traditions of decapitating us humans. Plus this mosque was tide to the Boston bomber's mosque.
Boys will be boys, so they came out of the mosques ready to party. But it's pretty pathetic for an intifada.

[NYPOST] A Paleostinian man was shot Friday after stabbing an Israeli border police officer in the West Bank ‐ the latest violent fallout of President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the Jewish state’s capital.
The assailant, Mahmoud Iman, 19, who stabbed the officer in his shoulder during festivities, was evacuated by the Red Islamic Thingyat death's door, according to The Jerusalem Post.
A picture of Iman in Ramalla showed him wearing what may have been an explosive vest.
Israeli police officials said they are investigating the possibility that the attacker infiltrated the area pretending to be a journalist before stabbing the officer.
"When the other officers saw the stabbing they opened fire that led to him being incapacitated. When the troops approached the terrorist, they identified an boom belt, which led to additional fire to prevent him from triggering it," police said in a statement.
Police said they were investigating whether Iman was carrying a real bomb or only a device meant to look like one, the Times of Israel reported.
