[NYPost] Britannia is secretly planning to let dozens of "jihadi brides" and their kids come home from Syria, according to a report Sunday. Bad mistake
Aid organizations believe up to 60 children with British citizenship are still in the war-torn country, mostly living with their mothers, with government officials until now ruling out their return.
But Prime Minister Boris Johnson ...pro-Brexit British prime minister, succeeding no-Brexit Theresa May. BoJo is noted as much for his sparkling personality and his hair as for his Conservative policies.... and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab are now actively trying to work out how to repatriate them, according to The Sunday Times of London, citing official correspondence.
The move goes against the advice of the country’s Ministry of Defence and Home Office, which fears it will have to keep jihadi brides ‐ women who have married krazed killer fighters ‐ under surveillance if they accompany their children, the report states.
"The PM made a decision and we will all work some way to sort it, but it is very difficult given the security situation," a minister who confirmed Johnson’s order to bring home some of the children told the paper.
Another government source insisted, however, that the shift does not mean everyone is guaranteed a return ‐ they will instead be considered "on a case by case basis," the paper said.
It is a marked reversal for the government, with Home Secretary Priti Patel saying just last month that she was "simply not willing to allow anybody who has been an active supporter or campaigner of ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... in this country," according to The Sun.
Officials have already started contacting relatives of some of those trying to return home ‐ with the suggestion that some will be prosecuted on their return to Britannia, the Sunday Times states.
Ministerial sources told the paper that repatriated mothers could be charged with child abuse or neglect ‐ removing the need to prove they were actively working as jihadists.
"There is no excuse whatsoever to abandon these children. Indeed they are the legal responsibility of the British state," former cabinet minister David Davis wrote in an op-ed for the Times.
He spoke of the hellish conditions, including one teenage girl who said she was "raped, forced to marry, and saw my father beheaded."
"I don’t think I’ve ever seen conditions as appalling and undignified," one Save The Children charity worker told him. "There are reports of a four-year-old boy drowning in a fecal pit and a seven-year-old burning to death after his tent was set alight."
Davis stressed that the children "should not be punished for their parents’ mistakes."
"Many have been born in the region to British parents who made the grotesquely misguided and irresponsible decision to go to Syria," he wrote, saying that if left in Syria the children would become "our enemy on the battlefields of the future."
"The safest way to handle these youngsters is for them to be reintegrated into British society," the MP insisted.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Moscow has not received official confirmation of the elimination of leader of the ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... * terrorist group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, front man for the Russian President Dmitry Peskov stated.
"No, we have no confirmation", Peskov said in response to a corresponding question.
However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... Russian presidential front man Dmitry Peskov said a day earlier the Kremlin believes it will be possible to talk about Trump’s serious contribution to the fight against terrorism if the death of al-Baghdadi is confirmed.
The statement comes after Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said during a press briefing on 28 October that the United States is not prepared to release video or photos of the US special forces raid of al-Baghdadi’s compound in Syria.
On 27 October, US President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... announced that US forces hunted down al-Baghdadi in Syria’s Idlib province.
Trump said al-Baghdadi blew up himself and three accompanying children by detonating a boom jacket when he was trapped at the end of a tunnel. The Russian Defence Ministry said that it had possessed no reliable data regarding the US operation and had reasons to question its credibility.
[Al Jazeera] Two Syrians have been charged by German prosecutors with crimes against humanity - including torturing and killing opposition activists. It sets the stage for the first trial of suspected members of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Leveler of Latakia... 's infamous security services.
The two men were detained in Germany in February under its "universal jurisdiction" laws that allow it to prosecute people for crimes against humanity committed anywhere in the world. A third suspect was arrested in La Belle France in a joint operation, the federal prosecutor's office in the German city of Karlsruhe said.
Prosecutors said the main suspect, identified as Anwar R.
... a high ranking official in Syria's General Intelligence Service who applied for German asylum in 2014, then was arrested for being evil in February...
under Germany's privacy rules, faces charges including 58 murders and multiple sexual assaults in a Damascus prison, where at least 4,000 opposition activists were tortured.
The 56-year-old is alleged to have overseen interrogations at the facility, and is suspected of involvement in crimes against humanity between 2011 and 2012. He allegedly led an investigative unit with its own prison in the Damascus area before leaving Syria in 2012 and arriving in Germany in July 2014.
The second suspect, Eyad A.,
...sometimes Eyad A-G...
is charged with facilitating the torture of at least 30 opposition activists arrested after intelligence agents opened fire on an anti-Assad demonstration in Douma near Damascus in autumn 2011. He is believed to have rounded up and helped capture fleeing demonstrators before handing them over to Anwar R.
Eyad A, who left Syria in 2013 and arrived in Germany in April 2018, worked for Anwar R's intelligence unit.
...also known as Usama Darwich Hamade, 53, and Issam Darwich Hamade. Osama, "Prince Sam" to his friends, is a dual Lebanese-South African citizen; Issam holds both Lebanese and British passports...
charged with conspiring to export drone parts and technology from the US to the Iran-backed group.
Federal prosecutors say two brothers charged with conspiring to export drone parts and technology from the US to Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Leb are "dangerous" and should remain in jug while they await trial, according to a court document filed Monday.
Osama and Issam Hamade are charged with conspiracy to violate US export laws. Osama Hamade is also charged with smuggling. Prosecutors say that from 2009 to 2013, the Lebanese brothers repeatedly acquired sophisticated technology for drones then illegally exported them to Hezbollah, which most Western governments consider a terrorist organization.
The Hamades were arrested in February 2018 in South Africa and were recently extradited to the US. They will appear in a federal court in Minnesota on Tuesday for a hearing to determine whether they will be released pending trial. A third defendant, Samir Ahmed Berro,
...known to his friends as "Tony", for reasons that passeth understanding. He has dual Lebanese and British citizenships...
remains on the lam.
An attorney for Issam Hamade said in a court filing that his client was a member of the Lebanese Armed Forces, not Hezbollah. An attorney for Osama Hamade made no comment ahead of Tuesday’s hearing.
According to an indictment, the parts included inertial measurement units, which can be used to track an aircraft’s position, and digital compasses, which can be paired with the inertial measurement units for drone guidance systems. The parts also included a jet engine and 20 piston engines.
Prosecutors wrote that Hezbollah has used drones for many years and that the brothers "present a danger to the United States, and to other communities around the world."
Prosecutors painted Osama Hamade as a "violent, drunken, gun-toting thug" who threatened to kill a government witness and his family by cutting him "to pieces" and once bragged that he cut off his gardener’s arms and bashed his gardener’s skull after an apparent theft.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday for a resolution calling on President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... to impose sanctions and other restrictions on The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor... and Ottoman Turkish officials over its offensive in northern Syria.

It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... ’s government to end, and not resume, its offensive against Kurdish forces who helped US troops battle ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...

This has been a hot button with Turkey for a long time. Previous politicians have kicked the can down the road or acquiesced to Turkish demands to withdraw criticism. Samantha Power (ugh, I know...) has an interesting take, with a little history, over at the NYT.

[Al Jazeera] Dissident politicians from the Indian state of Manipur on Tuesday said they were unilaterally declaring independence from India and forming a government-in-exile in Britannia.
The former princely state became part of India in 1949, two years after the country won independence from Britannia, but has since seen decades-long violent separatist campaigns.
Narengbam Samarjit, external affairs minister in the self-declared Manipur State Council, said the exiled government would push for recognition at the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... "We will run the de jure exiled government here ... from today onwards," he told news hounds in London after a declaration of independence first announced in Manipur in 2012 was read aloud.
"We will seek recognition from different nations ... to become a [UN] member. We hope many of the countries will recognise our independence."
Manipur, one of India's smallest states with a population of about just 2.8 million people, is one of the so-called "Seven Sisters" - a group of restive northeastern states.
The region, encircled by five other countries and connected to the rest of India by a sliver of land arching over Bangladesh, has been wracked by armed conflict and instability.
VIOLENCE PART OF LIFE It has spawned more than 100 fighter groups over the decades whose demands range from autonomy to secession.
Violence has been part of daily life for decades in Manipur, which borders Myanmar, with a strong presence of the Indian military.
The state has a strong ethnic mix, and its Meitei, Naga, Kuki and Pangal communities are all deeply committed to preserving their own cultural autonomy.
Its people have also always tended to look eastwards in their search for cultural links.
Samarjit said he hoped the world would support its independence cause.
"We are not free there and our history is going to be destroyed, our culture is going to be extinct," he warned.
"So the UN should listen ... we raise our voice to the whole world that the people living in Manipur are human beings."

And with that they can kiss their property and business interests in the state of Manipur goodbye. Businesses propped up with Chinese money.
[DAWN] The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday suspended the National Database and Registration Authority's (Nadra) decision to cancel the citizenship of Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one that was led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spent more time running his madrassah until his secretary rubbed him out in a jealous rage. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability... -Fazl (JUI-F) leader Hafiz Hamdullah.
Hearing a petition filed by the former senator and minister, IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah sought a reply from Nadra within two weeks and directed the authority as well as the interior ministry not to take any sort of action against Hamdullah.
On Sunday, it was reported that Nadra declared Hamdullah an 'alien' after finding that he had 'fraudulently obtained' his computerised national identity card (CNIC), which was subsequently cancelled.
While the government decision had been taken two weeks prior, it came to the limelight only days before the JUI-F’s so-called 'Azadi March' on Islamabad. A notification issued by the Pakistain Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) barring TV channels from inviting Hamdullah to talk shows as a guest had referred to a Nadra letter dated Oct 11.
In his reaction, the JUI-F leader blamed state institutions of 'political victimisation' and said no one in his family, including his father, had ever been accused of being an alien. He said his father was an employee of the education department in 1974 and he had already provided documents to Nadra to prove it.
During court proceedings today, Hamdullah said Nadra had cancelled his CNIC and he had submitted a petition against the decision; however, no action had been taken on the application for a week. He said Nadra's decision should be declared void and the interior ministry should be stopped from taking any action.
Officials representing Nadra told the court that in December 2018, a letter was written to the JUI-F leader regarding his citizenship and a district-level committee had been formed. Following this, Hamdullah had appeared before the committee, which had asked him for his documentation.
According to Nadra, the documents presented by the JUI-F leader had turned out to be "bogus".
Justice Minallah asked if Hamdullah had any children and whether they had CNIC cards, to which his lawyer responded in the affirmative.
The counsel added that one of Hamdullah's sons was even in the army.
"Can you doubt the citizenship of the husband of a mother who sends her son to sacrifice himself for the country?" the IHC chief justice remarked.
After hearing initial arguments, the IHC decided to suspend Nadra's decision to cancel Hamdullah's citizenship.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Populist Iraqi holy manMoqtada Tater al-Sadr ... the Iranian catspaw holy man who was 22 years old in 2003 and was nearing 40 in 2010. He spends most of his time in Iran, safely out of the line of fire, where he's learning to be an ayatollah... joined thousands of anti-government demonstrators on Tuesday in the holy city of Najaf, an AFP correspondent said.
Al-Sadr, who has backed the protests, was spotted shortly after airport sources told AFP the militiaman-turned-leader had landed in his native Najaf from Iran.
On Monday, al-Sadr called on Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi to announce early parliamentary elections overseen by the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... and without the participation of existing political parties.
Al-Sadr’s bloc, Saeroon, which came first in a 2018 election and helped bring Abdul Mahdi’s fragile coalition government to power, said on Saturday it was going into opposition until the demands of anti-government protesters were met.

Actually, Soleimani is Mossad agent - that's how he survived all these Israeli "assassination attempts". He's being groomed to replace Ayatollah-cracy with military dictatorship. And, eventually, restore Zoroastrianism in Iran.
[VOA] WASHINGTON - One of the Islamic State terror group's media divisions is promising supporters that a major announcement is on the way ‐ the first of its kind since the death of its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in a U.S. raid on Sunday.
IS's Al-Furqan Foundation started promoting the announcement at midday Wednesday. "We've all become Jehovah's Witnesses, so, expect to see us in your doorways"
"Coming Soon ... By the Willingness of Allah the Almighty," the announcement said, without sharing details.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist communications, said supporters quickly began distributing the poster on social media platforms, with some expressing hope that Baghdadi was still alive while others were preparing to celebrate his martyrdom. IS official media operatives have been issuing their usual news updates on operations in Syria, Iraq and around the world, but they have been silent so far about the fate of Baghdadi, who was killed by U.S. special forces in a raid on a compound in Barisha in Syria's Idlib province.

FBI Director Christopher Wray also warned of indications that IS was preparing to make increased use of women and children.
"We know that ISIS has started to take advantage of women in operational planning and trying to recruit youth, some of them in these displacement camps," Wray said. "That's going to present all kinds of problems for us and our partners."
What an exciting time for the UK, who just welcomed the daesh women and children back with open arms.

It may be late, but this is definitely the headline of the day. Good find, Dron66046. Normally we would have held a late submission for tomorrow, but this definitely deserved to be bumped up to today. Let’s keep an eye out for the actual announcement.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Lebanese President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... is studying Prime Minister Saad Hariri ...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.... 's resignation letter and will not issue a request for the cabinet to take on a caretaker role on Tuesday, a source in the presidency said. Business will continue as usual...
Hariri submitted his resignation on Tuesday, declaring he had hit a "dead end" in trying to resolve the country's crisis amid an unprecedented wave of protests against Leb's ruling elite. "dead end" = Unfortunate phrase in Leb politics Former Lebanese minister Rifi says Hezbollah lost ‘government of guardianship’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Former Lebanese Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi commended Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri after resigning from his position as head of government, while adding that Hezbollah has lost a government that "was dedicated to guardianship and corruption."
"Hariri has won himself and his people and Hezbollah has lost a government dedicated to guardianship and corruption which it tried to maintain through violence and black shirts," Rifi said in a tweet on Tuesday after Hariri resigned on live television.
Rifi was referencing an incident earlier in the day when men in black shirts reported to be supporters of Hezbollah and Amal attacked and burned tents of protesters gathered in downtown Beirut.
He added in a series of tweets that he stands behind the uprising of the Lebanese people in their "difficult struggle."
"This settlement has fallen and this term has plunged Leb into disaster," Rifi said in a tweet pointing to the current government of President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
[DAWN] Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri said he would submit his resignation on Tuesday, declaring he had hit a "dead end" in trying to resolve a crisis unleashed by huge protests against Leb's ruling elite.
The Lebanese premier addressed the nation in a televised address after a mob loyal to Hezbollah and Amal groups attacked and destroyed a protest camp set up by anti-government demonstrators in Beirut.
Leb has been paralysed by the unprecedented wave of protests against the rampant corruption of the political class that has collectively led Leb into the worst economic crisis since the 1975-90 civil war.
"For 13 days the Lebanese people have waited for a decision for a political solution that stops the deterioration (of the economy). And I have tried, during this period, to find a way out, through which to listen to the voice of the people," Hariri said in his speech.
[Breitbart] A Kurdish general revealed Monday that an informant stole the underwear of ISIS ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute... leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to prove to his credibility U.S. intelligence.
And interesting choice...
Speaking to NBC News, Gen. Mazloum Abdi of the Syrian Democratic Forces, said his intelligence unit had a source who was privy to the layout of al-Baghdadi’s secret compound near the Ottoman Turkish border. According to Abdi, the source passed along such details to U.S. Special Ops, who used it to formulate their plans to strike the terror chief’s hideout over the weekend. Al-Baghdadi: "Chattel? Have you seen my Tommy John's?"
Chattel: "Yes, you've worn them every day for the last two weeks. (Ewwww)"
"The source, whom Abdi described as one of al-Baghdadi’s security advisers,
“He was named Mohammed or Mahmoud... something like that.”
proved to U.S. intelligence that he had direct access to al-Baghdadi this summer by turning over the ISIS leader’s used underwear and later a sample of his blood,"
The used panties I understand (though ick!), but I can’t imagine the level of tradecraft that allowed him to take a blood sample from the miscreant and walk out with it.
NBC News reports. "U.S. intelligence tested those samples and got positive DNA matches for al-Baghdadi, kicking the hunt into high gear. The informant stole the underwear about three months ago and the blood sample was taken roughly one month ago, a Kurdish official said."
The revelation comes after President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... confirmed Sunday morning that al-Baghdadi was killed in a U.S. military operation in northwest Syria.

So, from now on, major terrorists will have sequential numbers dyed into their underwear (maybe UPC code) and constantly scan their laundry inventory for missing briefs. If one is missing they then high tale it to another war venue?

CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State supporters have responded with silence and disbelief days after the death of their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, suggesting a breakdown in the command structure of the Sunni militant group trying to agree on a successor. "Listen up! #3! You're on!"
There has been no official statement or mourning on Baghdadi on Islamic State’s (IS) official Telegram channel since U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday his killing at the hands of special operations forces in northwestern Syria.
Its Amaq news agency Telegram has been continuing business as usual, posting since Sunday more than 30 claims of attacks in Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan and Iraq praising its fighters.
There has also been less chatter among jihadist supporters on social media compared to the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in 2011 and other militant leaders.
Analysts said the remains of Islamic State’s leadership were in a state of shock probably trying to keep the group together and agree on a successor before confirming Baghdadi’s killing.
"There is probably right now chaos inside what is left of the leadership. Key aides have been killed and documents destroyed," said Hisham al-Hashimi, an Iraqi expert on militant groups.
