[KhaamaPress] Pakistain Special Envoy for Afghanistan welcomed Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money... ’s Orders to release Paks imprisoned in Afghanistan on humanitarian grounds, Pakistain is grateful for the "goodwill Gesture"
Afghanistan's Caped President Ashraf Ghani has pardoned several Pak prisoners and ordered their release on Tuesday, according to a presidential decree.
The presidential decree does not mention, how many Paks will be freed, but Ghani stated, "In line with the order, Section 18 Article Sixty-four of the Constitution, keeping in view of good faith, to strengthen friendly relations with the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Pakistain, I issue this order to pardon the imprisonment of convicts of the citizens of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Pakistain who has been sentenced with the final decision of the courts."
The decree was released just a day before Imran khan’s visit but was kept confidential.
Paks whose imprisonment is left one month will be pardoned by the given decree; those incarcerated due to non-payment of fines are also among those pardoned.
Earlier, peace envoy Khalilzad said, "We welcome and are encouraged by the positive development in Pakistain-Afghanistan relations. If implemented, it provides an opportunity to move forward on peace and development in the region."
[KhaamaPress] First Vice President Amrullah Saleh says President Ghani has ordered a public trial of the terrorists.
Saleh said on Tuesday during the 6:30 morning meeting, President has allowed public trials for those who are involved in terrorist activities.
Earlier, the first vice president had called on the country’s courts to hold public trials of perpetrators of terrorist acts; nationwide courts are called on to invite the families of victims of the terrorist attacks as witnesses during the trial.
President Ghani has responded to the demands of the people, and has issued a public court order for the terrorists, Saleh said.
Holding a public trial of members of terrorist groups who have committed terrorist crimes has been one of the basic demands of the citizens of the country in recent years.
The public has repeatedly called for a public trial by the Afghan judiciary through protest rallies, but such demands have always been opposed by a number of human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... groups.
[KhaamaPress] NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the 66th Annual Session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on Monday said its alliance "cannot let ISIS rebuild in Afghanistan the terror caliphate it lost in Syria and Iraq," adding NATO mission will continue to provide support to Afghan cops.
While President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... pushes through the February accord on troops withdrawal, NATO has repeatedly warned of greater risk if the United States pulls out its forces from Afghanistan "too soon" or "uncoordinated".
"As you know, the United States has announced that it will reduce its presence in Afghanistan. But the NATO mission will remain," Stoltenberg said. "And we will continue to provide support to Afghan cops."
"We cannot risk Afghanistan becoming once more a platform for international Death Eaters to plan and organise attacks on our homelands," he said. "And we cannot let ISIS rebuild in Afghanistan the terror caliphate it lost in Syria and Iraq."
Stoltenberg bids to address NATO’s future presence in Afghanistan at their next Defense Ministers meeting in February, saying they will be "faced with a difficult choice" and the grinding of the peace processor may falter.
"Either stay — and pay the price of a continued military engagement," he said. "Or leave — and risk that the gains we have made are lost."
"We have to remember that we [NATO and US troops] went into Afghanistan together. And when the time is right, we should leave together, in a coordinated way," he concluded.
The remarks came at a time, US President Donald Trump has several times made tweet on troops withdrawal from Afghanistan by Christmas, but the announcements have been criticized by a number of critiques and US officials, including former military generals who have called it an attempt in favor of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... .

Eternal war! The military-industrial complex is making a mint on this war and will *not* let it stop.
Jihadi wonderland? Since when was Afghanistan a civilized country? Never. It never was. That's a lie. Afghanistan can never be made into a "safe" country and if it was going to happen, it would have happened by now. We beat the Nazis in 5 years. 19 years against desert rats and we can't win?

..well, we went nearly full Mongol on the Germans. Can't do that anymore cause we don't wage real war. BTW, the Mongols did pacified the region we know as Afghanistan.

[AnNahar] A posthumous legal challenge to overturn the conviction of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Mohmet al-Megrahi is due to begin in Scotland on Tuesday.
Scotland's most senior judge, Lord Justice General Colin Sutherland, and four other judges at the country's highest criminal court will hear the case via video link.
The legal team for Megrahi's family will take part remotely from Glasgow. The case is due to last for three to four days with a ruling at a later date.
The family's lawyer, Aamer Anwar, said Megrahi's conviction has been described as "the worst miscarriage of justice in British legal history".
He added: "There can never be a time limit on justice. The families who support this appeal have never given up their search for the truth."
Megrahi was the only person convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight 103, which was blown up as it travelled from London to New York over the Scottish town of Lockerbie on December 21, 1988.
A total of 270 people from 21 countries were killed -- 243 passengers, 16 crew, and 11 people on the ground -- in what remains Britannia's biggest terrorist attack.
Three Scottish judges sitting at a special court sitting in the Netherlands jugged I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! the former Libyan intelligence officer for life in 2001, recommending he serve at least 27 years.
His first appeal was dismissed in 2002 but he was released in 2009 after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. He returned to Libya, where he died in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... three years later.
- SECRECY ORDER -
His family's appeal was referred to the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) in March.
The SCCRC ruled a possible miscarriage of justice may have occurred on the grounds of an "unreasonable verdict" in that it could not be proved Megrahi bought the suitcase that contained the bomb.
It also highlighted "non-disclosure" of evidence to Megrahi's defence team.
It has been widely claimed that the bombing was ordered by Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and carried out by a Syrian-based Paleostinian group, in retaliation for a US Navy strike on an Iranian Airbus six months earlier in which 290 people died.
Late last Friday, the High Court upheld a secrecy order signed by UK foreign secretary Dominic Raab to withhold intelligence documents related to the case.
Disclosure would cause "real harm" to UK international relations and national security with regard to counter-terrorism liaison and intelligence-gathering.
The documents are thought to allege a Jordanian intelligence agent within the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine-General Command (PFLP-GC) built the bomb.
The PFLP-GC has been designated a proscribed terrorist group by several countries, including Britannia and the United States.
Lawyers acting for the Megrahi family believe the documents are central to their appeal.
In August, Raab signed a public interest immunity certificate to keep the documents secret.
In 2008, then-foreign secretary David Miliband also refused to release the papers before Megrahi's second appeal, which was started in 2007 but abandoned after Megrahi's diagnosis.

Both friends and enemies have seen once again that no game can be established in the region without our participation, and that the path to peace and stability passes through Turkey. After this, we will continue to support the righteous battle of Azerbaijan."

"Path to peace and stability passes through Turkey"
Proving once again, Turkey has all the hashish and aren't afraid to use it.
[NYPost] The Indiana boy who was brought to Syria and forced to threaten President Trump in an ISIS propaganda video two years ago has returned to the United States, where he says it’s "sweet relief" to be back home, according to a report.
Matthew was just 10 years old when he appeared in a 2017 Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... video vowing to attack the West after he was taken to Syria by his mom, Samantha Elhassani,
