[DW] The migrants colonists, including two children, were picked up at around 5am just a few kilometers off the French port of Boulogne. Authorities spotted the boat sailing with its lights off, making an unusual trajectory.
A boat carrying 16 migrants colonists was intercepted off the northern French port town of Boulogne-sur-Mer on Sunday as it made its way towards Britannia, French media reported.
The local coastguard was deployed after a stolen fishing vessel named Sainte-Catherine aroused suspicion close to the entrance of the port before dawn, La Belle Franceinfo radio said.
In a statement, the maritime agency for the English Channel and the North Sea said the vessel had been "sailing with all lights off, was not answering radio calls and making an unusual trajectory."
BOAT BOARDED BY AUTHORITIES
The boat, containing 14 adults and two children, was found a few minutes later 11 kilometers (7 miles) off the French coast. Authorities boarded the vessel and steered it back to the port.
After a few hours, the passengers were handed to the local border police.
FOCUS ON CALAIS
Northern La Belle France, and in particular the port of Calais, has been a longtime stopping point for thousands of migrants colonists seeking to reach Britannia.
As many as 8,000 migrants colonists from North Africa and the Middle East lived in the makeshift Calais jungle encampment until it was cleared in October 2016.
Although most of the migrants colonists were moved to formal French reception centers, hundreds of people remain in the area, living smaller ad-hoc camps along the northern French coast.
INCREASE IN BOAT TRIPS Moslem colonists Migrants also arrive in Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... through other means. Britannia, for instance, has noted an increase in Iranians trying to enter the country illegally after Serbia offered visa-free travel to Iranian nationals. Some of them made onward journeys through Europe to northern La Belle France and then by boat to the UK.
Although most migrants colonists attempt to make the journey by ferry or Eurotunnel hidden in trucks, there have been a growing number of migrant crossings over the English Channel over the last few months.
Some of them make the journey in dinghies, despite strong currents, cold waters, and the Channel being the world's busiest shipping lane.
UK INTERCEPTIONS
UK government figures show that more than 135 migrants colonists have successfully crossed from La Belle France in small boats since November 2.
On December 12, eleven people were picked up in a dinghy off the English port town of Dover.
A few days later, 10 men were rescued from a boat off the French coast; many of them suffering from "severe hypothermia."
French and British authorities have stepped up patrols along their respective coastlines.
[DW] The 18-year-old has been detained for allegedly being an 'IS' recruiter. The young man was also accused of promoting the killing of coppers on social media.
An 18-year-old German was jugged Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in Hamburg on charges of supporting 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.... " (IS) terrorist group, city police said on Sunday. The man was allegedly using social media to find recruits and promote violence against coppers.
After collecting enough evidence of suspicious online activities, prosecutors were able to secure a search warrant, allowing Sherlocks to comb through his apartment in the Bramfeld area of the northern port city.
Authorities confirmed they had found further evidence at his apartment, but declined to comment on its exact contents.
[IsraelTimes] Peter Cherif, also known as Abu Hamza, was a prominent member of al-Qaeda who fled La Belle France in 2011 and has been designated a terrorist by the US government.
The French jihadist Peter Cherif, tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! in Djibouti on December 16, was placed in jug when he arrived in La Belle France on Sunday morning, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner and the Gay Paree Public Prosecutor’s Office announced.
Cherif, also known as Abu Hamza, is believed by Sherlocks to have been close to brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, perpetrators of the attack against the Charlie Hebdo ...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe... satirical newspaper in January 2015 that left 11 people dead.
After the attack, Cherif "fled French justice," but must now "answer for his actions," Castaner tweeted, praising the "effectiveness" of La Belle France’s security services.
The 36-year-old Frenchie was arrested in Djibouti on December 16. According to the Djibouti presidency, he arrived in the country by sea via the coastal town of Obock from Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... and was carrying false identity documents.
He was quickly handed to La Belle France, boarding an Air La Belle France flight for Gay Paree on Saturday at around 10:20 p.m. handcuffed in the back of the plane and under police escort, according to an AFP photographer.
"Peter Cherif was arrested at [Gay Paree’s Roissy Airport] and taken into custody as part of a preliminary investigation opened by the Gay Paree prosecutor’s office in May 2017" on charges of terrorism and criminal conspiracy, Gay Paree’s counterterrorism prosecutors said Sunday.
The investigation of Cherif is being carried out by La Belle France’s General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI). Under French law, Cherif can be held on the terror charges for up to 96 hours before he must be brought before a judge to have his remand extended.
According to officials, Cherif was an al-Qaeda operative in Yemen and was a close friend of the Kouachi brothers. He is suspected of providing logistical support to the terrorists, and helping to organize the attack.
Arrested for the first time in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids... Iraq, in late 2004 while fighting in the ranks of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Cherif was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Baghdad, then beat feet from an Iraqi prison in March 2007 and fled to Syria.
Later extradited to La Belle France, he was incarcerated there for 18 months. He disappeared in March 2011, the last day of his trial in Gay Paree, when he fled to Yemen. He has been designated by both French and US authorities as a terrorist.

And it was only Friday that President Sultan Erdogan I “the much beloved” said he would hold off invading Syrian Kurdish territory as payoff for American troops being summarily pulled out. How sad that this quick little bit of hudna-ending puts Turkish commandos face to unexpected face with Saudi heavy weaponry. But really, this is exactly the kind of wrong-footing to be expected when one has purged one’s ranks of one’s best military minds at all levels. They must be howling with laughter in the prison cells.
[AlAhram] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... is sending reinforcements to its border with Syria, Demiroren News Agency (DHA) reported on Sunday, adding that some 100 vehicles including mounted pickup trucks and weaponry had made their way to the area.
The heightened military activity comes days after President Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would postpone a planned military operation on Kurdish YPG militia east of the Euphrates river in northern Syria following the United States’ decision to withdraw from Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the reinforcements were sent to the front line with Manbij, where US troops have been based. The Ottoman Turkish IHA news agency reports that a convoy of Ottoman Turkish troops was sent into Syria overnight.

[IsraelTimes] Abbas’s troops said to arrest 44 on suspicion of attempting to deal away 740 acres in East Jerusalem and West Bank, with three sentenced to hard labor.
The Paleostinian Authority’s security forces announced Sunday that it had "foiled" the sale of roughly 3,000 dunams (741 acres) throughout the West Bank and East Jerusalem to Jews.
The PASF statement, posted on its Facebook page, said a large-scale operation to prevent the land sales resulted in the arrests of 44 Paleostinians, who had been attempting to sell property near the cities of East Jerusalem, Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Qalqiliya, and Salfit.
Three of the suspects have already been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, the statement said.
The Ynet news site reported that among the incarcerated ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... was East Jerusalem resident Issam Akel.
The Jerusalem resident had been sought by the PA over his involvement in the sale of a home in the Moslem Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City to Jews.
The PA government formed a committee to investigate the sale of the home in the Old City, PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah tweeted on October 9.
Paleostinian law considers attempting to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews a punishable offense.
According to the law, possible punishments for trying to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews include different degrees of hard labor and execution.
However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the law requires that PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... approve any death sentence, and he has not signed off on any executions since 2006.
Last month, Israel twice detained Adnan Ghaith, the PA governor of Jerusalem, for his reported connection to Akel’s arrest.
The Sunday PASF statement did not specify whether the three sentenced to 15 years of hard labor were the same as the two men given an identical punishment last month.
Then, the PA High Judicial Council’s website announced the sentencing of "F.A.E. and A. Kh. M. from Kafr Thulth in the Qalqilya Governorate for the crime of leaking land to the enemy."
Separately, in early November, the body of Ala’a Qirsh, one of six Paleostinians who died in a major road accident in the Jordan Valley, was barred from being buried in a Moslem cemetery in Jerusalem over allegations that he had sold property to Israeli Jews, an official in the Jerusalem Waqf told The Times of Israel.
The PASF statement called on Paleostinians to "exercise caution" in handling their property to prevent the transfer of land "to the occupation."
[PhilStar] Two teens claiming to be Islamic State terrorists who had balked at bombing targets in central Mindanao during the holidays surrendered to Cotabato City mayor Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi on Sunday. She presented the pair to reporters in the presence of top police and military officials. The two are still minors, their parents said.
The two initially claimed links with the Dawlah Islamiyah, also known as the Maute terror group based in Lanao del Sur, and the Ansa’r Kilafah Philippines, or AKP, operating in Sarangani province and in General Santos City. Both groups are using the black IS flag as banner.
Officials told reporters the parents of the two alleged terrorists decided to turn them over to the city government out of fear of the mayor's iron-fisted policy in maintaining law and order. The teens were said to have undergone training in the fabrication of improvised explosive devices in the seaside Palimbang town in Sultan Kudarat province.
Personnel of the 1st Marine Brigade killed seven terrorists in Barangay Butril in Palimbang in 2015 in a raid that led to the fall of an AKP camp there where IEDs, firearms and a black IS flag were recovered.
Army intelligence sources said the pair also confessed to links with the now detained TJ Macabalang, one of the alleged plotters of the September 2, 2016 IED attack in Davao City that left 17 people dead and hurt more than 60 others. Macabalang and two accomplices, Wendel Apostol Facturan and Musali Mustapha, were arrested in Cotabato City more than a month later.

[CNN Philippines] A most wanted Abu Sayyaf militant who has been at large for 17 years was arrested on December 20 in joint police operations in Binondo, Manila. The rebel was identified as Sudais Asmad, alias “Abu Nas” who was among those responsible for the kidnapping of 15 employees of Golden Harvest Plantation in Basilan in June 2001.
The police report also linked Asmad to Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon, one the leaders behind the the deadly battle of Marawi last year. Asmad was also said to be among Abu Sayyaf militants in Basilan who were supposed to augment rebel forces in Marawi City.
A previously nabbed Abu Sayyaf insurgent also identified Asmad as the group’s recruiter in Luzon, whose job was guised as a “Balik Islam,” or an Islam conversion initiative.
“He is in Manila purportedly to receive financial support from sympathisers of the Dawlah Islamiya and unknown missions,” the police report said.

BEIRUT (AP) ‐ Turkish-backed Syrian fighters are preparing to deploy in eastern Syria alongside Turkish troops once American forces withdraw, a spokesman said Monday, adding that his forces have begun massing on the front line of a town held by Kurdish-led forces.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said the withdrawal from Syria will be slow and coordinated with Turkey, without providing a timetable. Turkey said the two countries are coordinating to ensure there is no "authority vacuum" once the U.S. troops leave.
A Kurdish-led force captured much of northern and eastern Syria from the Islamic State group with the help of the U.S.-led coalition. Turkey views the Kurdish fighters as terrorists because of their links to a Kurdish insurgent group inside Turkey.
Youssef Hammoud, of the Turkey-backed Syrian opposition forces, said their fighters and weapons have been deploying on the front line with Manbij, a Kurdish-administered town in northern Syria where U.S. troops are based.
On Monday, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency reported that Turkey-backed Syrian forces had moved closer to Manbij, equipped with heavy weapons and armored vehicles.

Manbij is about 20miles WEST of the Euphrates.
Informally, the US, about a year ago, told all parties that it would not support Kurdish troops west of the Euphrates
of course the Kurds probably don't need US or anyone else's support to deal with the "Turkish backed Syrian fighters'; dealing with the Turkish army proper would, as several commenters have noted, would be a mess for both the Kurds and the Turks

The Deep State is under attack. Anything Trump does will be met with condemnation.
[IraqiNews] The Syrian army foiled on Sunday an attempt by terrorist groups to infiltrate and attack military posts in Hama northern countryside.
According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), Syrian army units last night conducted concentrated strikes against positions of terrorist groups affiliated to the so-called "Turkistan Party" in the villages of al-Mashik, Tal Waset and al-Ziyara in the northern countryside of Hama in retaliation to their repeated attacks.
