Fred, you are far more reliable, honest and trustworthy than the MSM in providing factual news. Thanks for what you, the mods and the other Rantburgers do to provide factual and critiqued news and information.
Could be jihadis, could be someone who doesn’t approve of females in government, or someone who is mad at her, or something political or tribal or just someone in a bad mood...
[ToloNews] The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) said on Tuesday that Gen. Sharmila Frogh, head of NDS gender department, has died from a magnetic IED blast in Kabul city.
According the NDS, Gen. Sharmila and three others were maimed in Kabul city's PD9, near Qazi Palaza, on Monday, but she died on Tuesday from "severe wounds".
The NDS said that an IED was placed in her vehicle.
No group has grabbed credit so far
On March 22, unidentified button men opened fire on the vehicle of Zarifa Ghafari, the mayor of Maidan Sher in Maidan Wardak province, in Kabul city, Ghafari said.
The incident happened in Khoshal Khan area of Kabul city and "the button men fled after the shooting," she said.
"No other people were hurt in the incident," said Ghafari.

IED's were Mike Flynn's department. He was good at it, high-level good. An action guy, a doer, a make it fok'n happen type. We've lost a lot not having Flynn at the helm. Just my opinion.
[KhaamaPress] The Afghan forces stopped rocket barrage on eastern Kunar province ... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country..... by confiscating a BM-12 rocket launcher during a special military operation.
The 201st Silab Corps in a statement said the Special Forces of the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... , the Afghan Intelligence, seized the rocket launcher during a special raid in Sarkano district.
The statement further added the enemies were looking to carry out missile attacks on certain parts of Kunar using the BM-12 rocket launcher.
The anti-government armed Lions of Islam including Taliban ...Arabic for students... have not commented in this regard so far.
Kunar is among the relatively volatile provinces in East of Afghanistan where the anti-government armed Lions of Islam including Taliban, al-Qaeda affiliates and ISIS Khurasan bully boyz have active presence in some of its restive districts.
The Taliban have killed about two dozen Afghan police and pro-government fighters, officials said Monday, in two attacks that come as the foes are supposed to be preparing for peace talks.https://t.co/nGbtOQZCjApic.twitter.com/w6b4XOWIIY

The airbase was captured by the British 8th Army in January 1943 and transferred to the control of the US Army Air Forces, who called it Mellaha AAF until 1945, when they renamed it Wheelus Air Base for a US airman killed that year. American use continued until the 1969 Libyan coup d'état and the subsequent expiration of the lease.
TFSA: "#Libya is on fire. At least 86 TFSA have been put in prison for defying orders. The Libyans ordered their arrests, and Turkish forces arrested them. These are men from most of the factions. Except HTS [formerly Nusra]. HTS is complying with orders."#GNA#LNAhttps://t.co/6juOzXfPg1

Zacarias Moussaoui was a Tablighi Jamaat member, as was Kafeel Ahmed, who died in the Glasgow Airport Attack, as were the founders of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, who hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 in 1999.

#Iran's Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani has arrived in #Baghdad International Airport last night at 0020 Iraqi time, Probably on this Mahan airline flight, local sources report. #Iraq#USpic.twitter.com/3HEHd8utGr
More on the news about Esmail Qaani's Iraq visit; he was allegedly accompanied by AHH's Qais al-Khazali and visited PMU sites. pic.twitter.com/qV0o54qV5P
AHH's briagdes in the PMU, the 41st, 42nd, 43rd, are centered in Diyala and in the vicinity of Khanaqin. Also they are centered south of Balad. It is possible that General Qaani was in either locations prior or after visiting Baghdad.

[IsraelTimes] An Israeli woman is indicted on charges she sent information, including photographs, to the Hezbollah terrorist group in 2018.
According to the charges, the woman was contacted on Facebook by a man from southern Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... who identified himself as Ali, and took the photos at his prodding.
She is charged with contact with a foreign agent, handing over information with the intent of harming Israel’s national security, and aiding a terrorist group.

Sheis charged with contact with a foreign agent, handing over information with the intent of harming Israel’s national security, and aiding a terrorist group.
Solid grounds for verbal warning or a misdemeanor in the States.
Another tale of an entire clan of Palestinian jihadis. There are little Barghoutis busily employed making mischief all through the Rantburg archives.
[Jpost] Troops arrested father of deadly 2018 Givat Assaf, Ofra shooter
Israeli security forces have arrested two Paleostinians in the Ramallah area, including the father of a terrorist responsible for two deadly attacks against soldiers and civilians in 2018.
Border Police officers arrested them on suspicion of involvement in several terrorist incidents in recent months, the Israel Police said Tuesday.
During the operation, hundreds of local residents threw stones, Molotov cocktails, bottles of paint and other objects toward the troops, who responded with riot-dispersal measures, including tear gas and stun grenades.
Security forces raided two Ramallah-area villages and detained Omar Barghouti and his son Mohammed in Kobar and Mahmoud Murrar, a lawyer from Budrus, according to Wafa (Paleostine News Agency).
Omar Barghouti is the father of Asam and Saleh Barghouti, who carried out a shooting attack at Ofra junction in December 2018 that maimed seven Israelis. A newborn child, who was delivered prematurely as a result of the attack, died three days later.
Asam Barghouti is suspected of carrying out another shooting attack days outside the Givat Assaf outpost, south of Ofra, in which two IDF soldiers, St.-Sgt.Yuval Mor Yosef and and Sgt. Yosef Cohen were killed. Two more Israelis were maimed: a female resident of Beit El and another soldier, Netanel Felber, who remains at death's door.
Saleh was rubbed out by soldiers during an arrest attempt on December 12, a day before the Givat Assaf shooting.
Omar Barghouti, a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leader in the West Bank, has spent 39 years in Israeli prisons for security-related crimes. He was first arrested by the IDF in 1978 for killing an Israeli citizen. He has been repeatedly held in administrative detention for several years. He entered Israeli prison as a member of Fatah but later became a prominent leader of Hamas.
Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, took credit for the 2018 Ofra attack shortly after Saleh Barghouti was killed by IDF troops, praising it and saying that it proved that the resistance was alive in the West Bank.
[Fox News] From Skidmark's comment link President Trump said Wednesday that Iran is planning a "sneak attack" on U.S. troops or "assets" in Iraq, warning the country will pay a "heavy price" if this happens.
The president made the abrupt announcement in a tweet Wednesday afternoon, coming amid lingering tensions between the two countries over past confrontations as well as the coronavirus pandemic.
"Upon information and belief, Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack on U.S. troops and/or assets in Iraq. If this happens, Iran will pay a very heavy price, indeed!" Trump tweeted.
Trump's tweet came soon after he attended an intelligence briefing at noon at the White House.
Sources told Fox News that the U.S. believes Iranian-backed proxies were planning the sneak attack, and that Trump's tweet was a warning to the Iranian leadership to tell their proxies to back down or face consequences
In late March, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that Iran had refused American aid for addressing the coronavirus pandemic.
Pompeo also condemned Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for spreading conspiracy theories that the U.S. was responsible for the outbreak, and pointed out Iran's own misdeeds that exacerbated the spread of the virus.

...Remember how we felt about the Japanese after Pearl Harbor? That's going to be the way we feel about the Iranians if they try and hit us.

To be reported in tonight's "news" as, "Trump Wants Another War to Cover His Failures!"
Make that, "Many Failures".

Iran sees our corona virus crisis here in the US as a time of great weakness. The MMs in Iran do not give a rat's behind about their people, so it's time to ratchet things up a bit. The MMs need to feel personal pain if they are stupid enough to try attacks on US forces.

Just watched a news conference where he basically said just that AP. Trump also mentioned that they should be helping their own people instead of looking to exploit the situation.

NEW - Likely #Israel airstrikes ongoing somewhere over #Homs right now, as pro-#Assad media report activation or air defenses as "enemy aircraft" enter via #Lebanon.
#UPDATE: Hearing cargo that was unloaded onto the al-Shayrat Airbase runway was the target of tonight’s strikes near Homs, Syria. Target seemingly destroyed.
Plane had been moving between bases used by Iran before Syria attack — monitor
[IsraelTimes] The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, says a cargo plane had been shuttling between the Shayrat and T-4 air bases in central Syria before an alleged Israeli strike on the former, citing reliable sources.
Observers believe Shayrat to used by Iran as a forward base for bringing weapons into the country. T-4 had been seen as a main base for housing Iran-linked fighters and arms and has been allegedly attacked by Israel several times.
After a very long time noticeable activity can be seen at Al-Shayrat Airbase, #Homs, #Syria in the last month, a new building was constructed just North of one of the runways. I wonder if this was the target this evening?
The base is one of the regime’s most significant installations in the center of the country.
Syria expert Charles Lister tweets that the base houses fighters from the Hezbollah terror group and the Iranian Quds Force.
UPDATE: After flying over #Beirut, #Israel jets have fired two rounds of missiles towards facilities at #Shayrat Airbase in #Homs.
That's the same base the #Trump admin hit in April 2017 – it's currently home to a squadron of SyAF Su-29s & the #IRGC & #Hezbollah are there too. https://t.co/wSqB0hD4DL

In August, Syria said 31 regime and allied fighters were killed when a weapons delivery exploded.
In 2017, US airstrikes hit the base in response to a suspected sarin gas attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhun in northwest Syria that killed more than 80 people.
According to the Pentagon, US intelligence had established that the base was the launchpad for the alleged chemical attack.
