[ToloNews] The mother of Abdul Rauf, an 8-year-old kidnapped in Afghanistan’s northern Balkh province, has lost the energy to talk after the abduction a month ago in Mazar-e-Sharif city.
The child’s family members have said that the kidnappers were wearing military uniforms on the day they kidnapped Abdul Rauf.
Real soldiers in their own uniforms; former real soldiers in their own uniforms who’ve gone to the bad, whether to the Taliban, etc. or plain vanilla bandits; and, of course, fake soldiers wearing fake uniforms: jihadis of some sort, plain vanilla bandits, enemies of little Abdul Rauf’s father or other relations or associates — so many possibilities when a country is involved in a war of all against all...
Abdul Rauf’s family have been persistently urging the Afghan security and intelligence agencies to help recover their child.
Abdul Rauf was in a car going to school when the kidnappers stopped the car and kidnapped him.
Abdul Rauf’s sister Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Gazal has stopped going to school after the incident.
"They asked: 'Who are the children of Haji Nabi?' then we became frightened and we told them our names, they told us that they would take us to our father, then they took my brother from the car, I tried to pull my brother back but they hit me with a gun in my stomach and shoulder, I shouted, but no one came to our help," said Gazal.
"It was a (Toyota) Corolla car without a number plate, there were four people inside the car including two women, they had military uniforms and masks," Gazal added.
"Maybe there is something vague there, there might a secret and they don’t want it to be disclosed. If our security and intelligence agencies can't find a child after 33 days, then it is their great failure and weakness," said Abdul Rahman, Abdul Rauf’s grandfather.
"Five operations were launched in suspected areas by the intelligence agencies, but they did not manage to have any success, but our technical team will come from Kabul soon and they cooperate with us," said Munir Farhad, a front man for the Balkh police headquarters.
[KhaamaPress] Amrullah Saleh, the First Vice President says, that the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... has deeply penetrated inside terrorism core.

According to Saleh one of the men was arrested while trying to gain a remittance from Pakistain at Sarai Shazada, Capital’s known exchange market.
“Terrorists” in the pay of Pakistan? Oh dear.
The first vice president added that the president is determined to bring these gunnies to justice, Judicial bodies will put them to public trial next week.
Saleh also informed about the progress in the case of Kabul Bank liquidation and said: "One of the creditors of Kabul Bank, who considered himself a friend of a minister, is going to hand over his house to Kabul Bank liquidation management in three days according to the prosecutor’s order" informing that "The house will be on sale for three hundred thousand dollars and the money should be collected at the nation’s treasury."
Raid into hidden assets of Kabul Bank creditors continues as all relevant institutions are working seriously on the cases.
Adding to greenery municipality issues, Saleh said, Macroryan residents living on the first floors of the residential blocks should not turn green space into their private gardens, otherwise, the 6 am meeting officials will hold you accountable and emit the area with a bulldozer.
He called on Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... Restaurant in the capital to solve the matter of their northern restaurant wall, as the area has turned into a public toilet.
It was also decided at the 6:30 a.m. meeting that the Kabul Traffic Department must once again issue a written warning letter to shopkeepers at Lesa-e-Maryam area in regards to closure of roads and sidewalks, as they place their goods for selling matters outside, blocking the areas.
Regarding the people’s complaints about the mistreatment of the public by some security officials in the city, Saleh stressed: "that these behaviors will be worked on and soon be corrected".

[KREBSONSECURITY] A 22-year-old North Carolina man has been sentenced to nearly eight years in prison for conducting bomb threats against thousands of schools in the U.S. and United Kingdom, running a service that launched distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and for possessing sexually explicit images of minors.Timothy Dalton Vaughn from Winston-Salem, N.C. was a key member of the Apophis Squad, a gang of young ne’er-do-wells who made bomb threats to more than 2,400 schools and launched DDoS attacks against countless Web sites — including KrebsOnSecurity on multiple occasions.
The Justice Department says Vaughn and his gang ran a DDoS-for-hire service that they used to shake down victims.
"In early 2018, Vaughn demanded 1.5 bitcoin (then worth approximately $20,000) from a Long Beach company, to prevent denial-of-service attacks on its website," reads a statement from Nicola Hanna, U.S. attorney for the Central District of Caliphornia. "When the company refused to pay, he launched a DDoS attack that disabled the company’s website."
Dalton, whose online aliases included "WantedbyFeds" and "Hacker_R_US," pleaded guilty last year to one count of conspiracy to convey threats to injure, convey false information concerning use of bomb, and intentionally damage a computer; one count of computer hacking; and one count of possession of child pornography.
Federal judge Otis D. Wright II sentenced Vaughn to 95 months for possessing 200 sexually explicit images and videos depicting children, including at least one toddler, the Justice Department said. Vaughn was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison for the remaining charge. The sentences will be served concurrently.
[Jpost] The French government will launch a "massive and unprecedented" wave of measures to combat religious extremism, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Wednesday, adding that one step would be to inspect 76 mosques.
Darmanin said in a statement on Twitter that some of the mosques could be closed as a result.
President Emmanuel Macron's government has responded to several deadly Islamist attacks in recent weeks with a promise to crack down on what some public officials have called "the enemy within."
[Jpost] The US is pulling as many as half of the diplomats from the US Embassy in Baghdad amid rising tensions after the liquidation of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and the upcoming first anniversary of the liquidation of former Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani , according to American media reports on Wednesday.
The staff reduction is supposed to be temporary, according to the report, but it's unclear when staff will return, according to Politico. A US official told CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... that the staff should return in mid-January, after the anniversary of the Soleimani liquidation.
US Ambassador to Iraq Matthew Tueller will remain in Baghdad, the State Department told Politico. The staff reduction was first reported on by The Washington Post on Wednesday.
"The State Department continually adjusts its diplomatic presence at embassies and consulates throughout the world in line with its mission, the local security environment, the health situation, and even the holidays," said a department official in a statement to Politico. "Ensuring the safety of US government personnel, US citizens, and the security of our facilities, remains our highest priority."
[IsraelTimes] A suspected balloon-borne bomb apparently launched from the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip was found Tuesday in southern Israel, following a lull in the launching of airborne incendiary objects from the Paleostinian enclave.
The Hof Ashkelon Regional Council said the device was found in a local community, with a photo showing an object attached to a balloon in the middle of the field.
A police sapper was defusing the object, according to the regional council.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The discovery of the device follows several attacks emanating from Gaza the past month, including the firing of two rockets toward southern and central Israel that the military reportedly determined were set off by a lightning strike. In October the IDF said it uncovered a Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, attack tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel.
Amid the rising tensions, the Israel Defense Forces held a drill last month simulating a war in the Hamas-ruled Strip.
The practice of launching balloon-borne incendiary and bombs from the Gaza Strip toward Israel has waxed and waned over the past two years, with the last major uptick in airborne attacks taking place in August.
Israel has fought three large campaigns against terror groups in Gaza since Hamas wrested control of the enclave in 2007, along with dozens of smaller exchanges.
Two weeks ago, incendiary and explosive balloons were reportedly launched by the Al-Zawari balloon unit from the Gaza Strip.
No doubt named for Hamas’s former top aviation engineer, Mohammed al-Zoari (or Mohammed al-Zawari), who developed armed drones for Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. He was rubbed out in Tunisia in 2016 by two Bosnian assassins for an international team.
[AnNahar] Israeli warplanes overflew Beirut, Dahiyeh, Metn, the South and a number of regions at low and medium altitudes on Wednesday evening, media reports said.
The roaring of the fighter jets was clearly heard over the capital Beirut and its suburbs.
The National News Agency said intensive overflights were also recorded over Chouf, Sidon city and the East Sidon region at low altitudes.
Further south, the Israeli jets overflew the Tyre, Nabatiyeh and Iqlim al-Tuffah regions at medium altitudes.

Are they just being annoying or are they carrying sensors and comm gear? One might normally fly that stuff low and slow, but Lebanon is a rough neighborhood.
[Jpost] According to the report, Nasrallah is meant to stay in Tehran for an indefinite amount of time and it is unclear when exactly he will return to Lebanon.
In theory, deep in allied territory is safer, but we just saw how easily Mossad can sneak in a team of hundreds with cutting edge robotic killers and dancing girls, suggesting even a hideaway at the roots of a mountain is not safe from Joooish assassins.
Hezbollah Secretary-General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... plans to move to 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.

[SYRIAHR] In a country exhausted and shaken by a protracted civil war, Ottoman Turkish-backed factions are portraying the worst and ugliest images of crimes against humanity, violating international laws and charters in areas under their control known as "Peace Spring", as well as in the "Olive Branch" areas. Those areas experience mounting violations against human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... in return for accomplishing specific economic and political objectives through exploiting the region’s bounties, resources and people.The Syrian Observatory has monitored and tracked such violations committed in November 2020, including security incidents, rivalries and the Ottoman Turkish-backed factions’ atrocities.
It is worth noting that 66 people were killed in "Peace Spring" areas in November, including four civilians killed in different incidents of direct gunfire and explosions. While the rest, 62 fatalities, were of fighters of Ottoman Turkish-backed factions, and they were distributed as follows:
