Women’s 1960s fashion was an extreme style and attitude from the start of the decade to the end. In the early years, the fashion idol was Jackie Kennedy with her perfect white pearls and tailored suit dresses. By the middle of the decade, supermodel Twiggy had women freeing their minds and bodies into clothing that didn’t require any extra thought or effort. From modest to “there is no such thing as too short,” 1960s fashion was in many ways like the 1920s flapper revolution. But it didn’t happen overnight.
Jackie Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot, and Mary Quant were fashion icons.
The Youthquake movement created “Babydoll” clothing.
Short, shapeless shift dresses in bright colors and colorblock patterns became a staple of the Mod look.
Button-down shirts, turtlenecks, and chunky knit sweaters made up casual outfits.
Mini skirts or pencil skirts in plaid were a teen’s school outfit.
Jax pants, stirrup pants, bell bottoms, and pantsuits were new trends.
Low heel flats, boots, and vinyl shoes made up footwear.
Stockings or tall socks came in all colors.
Pop Art Jewelry emerged.
Hair could be short and bobbed or long and straight.

Confucius say, "Fashion? Han dandy
Designer of century: Zhongshan!
He choose tunic and britches,
Leave China in stitches. [OUCH!] Fabulous! Bigger than Gandhi!"
Portland city council member & BLM activist @JoAnnPDX has proposed installing more traffic cones in response to the city’s record shootings & homicides. She says it may lessen likelihood of deadly shootings if drivers are slowed down. https://t.co/C5Huq8Xhth

There are some who would mock the City of Portland as a bunch of dumbasses doing dumbass things. I, however, salute them for being brave enough to create their vision of the future.
Let's make no mistake, they are doing dumb stuff. But the freedom to find a better path is also the freedom to make mistakes. And these guys are making some doozies! Still, that is not a bad thing, at least if you don't live in Portland. They are providing useful datapoints so the next time someone suggests eliminating the police or encouraging the homeless to poop in the streets, we can point and laugh and say "Yeah, like Portland!"

I mean, she has a right to pursue happiness just like any other American but she has obviously failed to achieve it. She must be doing something wrong. Why would you want somebody like that running a city?

Does "Local Access Only" mean BLM riots marches are banned?
...didn't think so
[AnNahar] Afghan refugees will soon be arriving again in the U.S. after a massive campaign to vaccinate them against measles following a small outbreak that caused a three-week pause in evacuations, officials said Monday.
Authorities have administered the vaccination to about 49,000 evacuees staying temporarily on American military bases as well as to those still at transit points in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and the Middle East, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The measles outbreak, detected in 24 people, had put on hold one of the largest refugee resettlement efforts in U.S. history, dubbed Operation Allies Welcome. It also stranded about 15,000 at overseas transit points.
"The success of this vaccination campaign demonstrates our commitment to the health and well-being of arriving Afghan evacuees, the personnel assisting this mission, and the American people," Dr. Pritesh Gandhi, the DHS chief medical officer, said in announcing the completion of the effort.
Everyone coming from Afghanistan is also tested for COVID-19.
Good.
About 84 percent of the refugees in the U.S. and at overseas transit points have now received vaccinations against the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... , officials said.
First shot (or two shots, if recommended)? How about the recommended booster (third shot) for the elderly and those in high risk categories?
The U.S. evacuated about 120,000 people in the chaotic days following the fall of Kabul to the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... in August. They were a mix of U.S. citizens, Afghans with legal permanent residency or who were applying for visas and refugee status along with their families.
...although reportedly the vast majority were young men of fighting age who were none of those things.
Testifying before Congress last week, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the U.S. has admitted about 60,000 people from the airlift out of Afghanistan, about 7% of whom are American citizens and about 6% of whom are permanent residents. About 3% have, along with their families, received the special immigrant visa for people who worked for the U.S. government or its allies during the war as interpreters or in some other capacity.
The rest are a combination of people who are in the process of finalizing their special immigrant visas or are considered likely candidates for refugee status because they are human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... activists, journalists or others who are considered particularly vulnerable under Taliban rule or for some other reasons. All undergo security vetting before they arrive in the U.S.
DHS says a majority of the Afghans being resettled in the U.S. worked for the country in some form or are related to someone who did. The agency projects at least 40% are eligible for the special immigrant visa.
There are about 53,000 Afghans currently staying at eight U.S. military bases and receiving medical care and other assistance before they settle around the U.S.
Gen. Glen VanHerck, head of U.S. Northern Command, told news hounds Thursday that about 4,000 Afghans at the U.S. bases have completed medical screening and the 21-day quarantine required after receiving the vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox that most Americans receive in childhood, and should be setting in their new homes in the coming days.

Measles is ridiculously contagious.
(for you disease weenies, R0 is ~12, compared to ~1.5 for Ebola)
Prediction: Measleous Afghans will be inserted into liberal, caring communities with a sub-population of liberal, caring parents who do not vaccinate their children against the usual childhood diseases. Come on, man! No one gets those diseases anymore, right?
TL;DR: Boulder, Colorado will be the epicenter of our next measles epidemic.
As the government in residence, the Taliban define what is and is not lawful. As was recently pointed out, the Nuremberg Laws were also legal.
[AnNahar] Taliban ...Arabic for students... forces unlawfully killed 13 ethnic Hazara ...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets... s, most of them Afghan soldiers who had surrendered to the murderous Moslems, a prominent rights group said Tuesday.

[AlAhram] More than 100 music students and teachers have fled Afghanistan in a nail-biting flight from Kabul following the Taliban ...Arabic for students... 's takeover of the country, their institute's founder and principal told AFP.
Fearing a crackdown on music by the country's new leaders, a total 101 members of Afghanistan's top musical institute landed in Doha on Sunday evening, Ahmad Sarmast said.
The group, about half of them women and girls, plan to fly to Portugal with the support of the government there, said Sarmast, founder of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music, who now lives in Melbourne.
But the success of the operation was in doubt until the last moment, he said.
With help from the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... i embassy in Kabul, the musicians had been ferried in small groups to the city's airport, Sarmast said.
In a first hurdle, Talibs manning Kabul airport questioned their visas. But Qatari embassy officials managed to resolve the problem.
Then the girls and women were told that they could not leave the country with their temporary "service passports", which are usually issued to officials.
TIME OF MANY TEARS
"My understanding is that it was not so much of the type of the passports but that the girls were fleeing the country," Sarmast said.
Once again, Qatari officials managed to negotiate their passage.
When the flight finally took off hours later with the musicians, including many from the all-female Zohra orchestra, Sarmast said he was overcome with emotion.
"It was a time of many tears. I was crying endlessly. My family were crying together with me. That was the happiest moment in my entire life," he said.
The flight was the result of long planning since the Taliban takeover, Sarmast said.
"From the moment the Taliban took power in Kabul the discrimination against music and musicians began. The people of Afghanistan were silenced once again," he said.
The Taliban, who banned music outright during their brutal and oppressive rule from 1996 to 2001, swept back into power on August 15.
They have promised a more moderate brand of rule this time -- though they have made clear that they will run Afghanistan within the restrictive limits of their interpretation of sharia law.
The movement's position on music is inconsistent and no clear order has yet been issued.
At a Taliban rally outside Kabul this weekend, for example, religious music was played ahead of speeches by ministers and senior Taliban figures.
TOLD TO STAY AT HOME
According to Sarmast, the Taliban have told the musical institute's members to stay at home until further notice. Nearly two months later, they have not been given any further information.
The escape from Kabul was just the first phase, Sarmast said, vowing to work until all 184 remaining faculty and students, past and present, were evacuated and "reunited with the rest of the school".
During a visit by AFP to the college in Kabul last month, there was no sound of music.
Instead, Taliban soldiers chatted and armed guards cradled Kalashnikovs in the courtyard, shaded by trees with swirling treble clefs spray-painted on to their trunks.
[GREATERKASHMIR] In a third killing this evening, a man was rubbed out in Hajin area of north Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... ’s Bandipora district, news agency GNS reported while quoting officials.According to news agency GNS, Mohammad Shafi, president of the cab drivers' association in Naidkhai, was fired at in Shahgund Hajin area of the district, leaving him critically injured.
Shafi was removed to a hospital but succumbed to the wounds before being admitted, an official said. The doctors, he said, declared him brought dead on arrival.
This is the third attack within a few hours in the valley. Earlier, owner of Bindroo Medicate Makhan Lal Bindroo was rubbed out at his shop near Iqbal Park while a non-local vendor was killed near Madina Chowk in Lal Bazar area of the city.
The dear departed vendor has been identified as Virender Paswan, a resident of Bhagalpur in Bihar, presently putting up at Alamgari Bazar Zadibal.
"Today in the evening, three terror incidents were reported from Srinagar & Bandipora, in which gunnies rubbed out three civilians, " a police front man said about the three killings.
"At about 1925hrs, Srinagar Police received information about terror crime incident near Iqbal Park Sherghari area of Srinagar. Officers attending the terror crime spot learnt that the owner of Bindroo Medicate namely Makhan Lal Bindroo was shot at by the gunnies near his shop at Iqbal Park. He received grievous gunshot injuries in this terror incident and was immediately evacuated to nearby hospital, however he departed this vale of tears, " he said.
"Meanwhile, ...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again... at about 2015 hours Srinagar Police received information about another terror crime incident near Madina Chowk Lalbazar area of Srinagar, where gunnies rubbed out a non-local (street hawker) identified as Virender Paswan resident of Bhagalpur Bihar at present Alamgari Bazar Zadibal. Third terror crime incident was reported in Shahgund area of Bandipora where gunnies rubbed out another civilian identified as Mohd Shafi Lone resident of Naidkhai, " added the front man.
Police have registered cases in all three attacks and taken up investigation.
[OneIndia] In a horrific incident, snuffies of The Resistance® Front killed three civilians including a prominent chemist in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... In the first incident, snuffies fired at a chemist, M L Bindro at the Iqbal Park area of Srinagar. He succumbed on the way to hospital. The incident took place at around 7 pm.
Releasing a statement after the attacks, spokesperson for The Resistance® Front, Umar Wani said that the group had carried out three assassinations in North Kashmir. He said that Bindro was killed because he was an RSS worker.
In the second attack the TRF killed one Virender Paswan. The outfit termed him as a non-local informer of the Intelligence Bureau. The third attack was on Shafi Lone, whom the TRF termed as an informer.
The attack took place at the Shahgund area of Hajin in Bandipora district.
In its statement, the TRF said that it would continue with attacks on RSS workers and non-local informers. We will continue with the attacks and strike fear in the hearts of these people the statement also read.
Investigations by the police are underway and a search has been launched for the terrorists.
The TRF is an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba which was formed last year. The TRF has largely local snuffies and since the day of its formation, it has targeted Hindus and people which it thinks are informers of the police. An official tells OneIndia that the intention is to drive fear into the minds of the people. The TRF has specifically targeted Hindus and those in support of peace in Jammu and Kashmir, the officer also said.
[AlAhram] Demonstrators torched a police vehicle in India on Monday as tensions boiled over after festivities involving protesting farmers killed at least nine people.
Among the odd demands of this yearlong protest, fronted by a group of professional agitators calling themselves the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU, Indian Farmers' Union) — who are employed by the factors that exploit and grow fat off the small farmers, not actual farmers themselves — is that the central security forces must unconditionally release all Maoist terrorist recruiters and jihadis and their facilitators caught in the past year. Another group showing up front and center at these events is the Khalistan secessionists, the Sikh independence movement that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pakistan’s ISI.
The incident on Sunday in Uttar Pradesh state was the deadliest in more than a year of protests by farmers in northern India against new agricultural reforms.
Farmers said that a convoy belonging to a government minister, his son and the state's deputy chief minister ran over and killed four people at a demonstration.
The minister said later that a driver lost control of his vehicle after being pelted by demonstrators.
Angry protesters set fire to several cars and at least five more people, four of them supporters of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), were killed.
On Monday, the protesters kept the bodies of the four dead farmers in glass cases for display around the protest site.
Ick.
Police banned gatherings, cut off mobile internet services, sent extra forces and detained several opposition figures on their way to the scene including Priyanka Gandhi from the Congress party.
In state capital Lucknow, dozens of police detained local Congress chief Akhilesh Yadav outside his home.
Dozens of opposition supporters staged a protest in the city and set fire to at least one police vehicle, television pictures showed.
Protests organised by opposition parties also took place in New Delhi and Bangalore.
Agriculture has long been a political minefield and employs some two-thirds of India's 1.3 billion population.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government says the reforms will infuse much-needed energy and capital in the sector.
Farmers, many of whom have camped outside New Delhi for over a year, fear the changes will leave them at the mercy of big corporations.
[Rudaw] Suspected Ottoman TurkishArclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeting the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) caused material damage in a village in northern Erbil province on Tuesday morning, a local official told Rudaw. There are no reports of casualties.
Ottoman Turkish warplanes struck the border of Sidakan sub-district "targeting a PKK headquarters," said Sidakan Mayor Ihsan Chalabi.
A second strike hit the outskirts of Bola village, causing material damage, Chalabi added.
Hakim Yaseen is from Bola village. He was not at home this morning but his family told him that there was a lot of damage to houses in the village and trees were burned.
"This was the fifth or six such attack in these areas," Yaseen said. "The explosion was very strong. All the shrapnel and rocks hit the village."
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... frequently carries out cross-border ground and air offensives against alleged positions of the PKK, an gang fighting for greater rights for Kurds in Turkey and has bases in the Kurdistan Region. Ankara considers it a terrorist organization. In April, Turkey launched the twin operations Claw-Lightning and Claw-Thunderbolt in northern Duhok against the PKK.

There have been more than 400 military incursions into the Kurdistan Region so far this year, endangering innocent civilians, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) coordinator for international advocacy Dindar Zebari said on September 22, without naming any nation or group. Sidakan was one area of concern where Zebari said airstrikes and artillery fire have hit in populated areas.
Civilian populations and the environment have been severely damaged by the Turkey-PKK conflict. Thousands of acres of land have been scorched, and people’s houses and livestock have been hit.
Landmines are also a hazard in the Sidakan area. One person was injured in a kaboom in April.
The KRG has repeatedly called on Turkey to respect its illusory sovereignty and for the PKK to cease using Kurdistan Region territory to launch attacks on its neighbor.
A tale of which nightmares are made. In certain circles, anyway.
[IsraelTimes] Hebrew media reports reverse course on operation, citing sources indicating it was a success after earlier reporting it as a failure.
A recent Mossad operation that aimed to discover information about the whereabouts of missing Israeli airman Ron Arad saw agents kidnap an Iranian general for interrogation, according to an Arabic-language report.
Mossad agents took the man from Syria to an unnamed African country, interrogated him there, and eventually released him, the London-based Rai al-Youm online newspaper reported on Monday.

And at the same time Your Biden administration State Department is refusing to condemn an alleged Iranian government plot to kidnap a NY-based Iranian American journalist telling the media “This is a law enforcement issue”.
NOT NATIONAL SECURITY MATTER.
The Justice Department issued a statement on Tuesday saying four Iranian intelligence agents currently in Iran have been indicted of a plot to kidnap Masih Alinejad, a Brooklyn resident. The agents hired private detectives to follow her movements and were planning to kidnap and send her to Venezuela possibly by a speedboat.
As the news about the indictments emerged, It was also reported that the State Department was waving US sanctions, allowing Iran to access billions of dollars in frozen funds in Japan and South Korea.

[Rudaw] Kurdish operatives affiliated with one of the main opposition groups claimed on Tuesday to have killed an intelligence officer in western Iran, less than two weeks after top Iranian military officials threatened to carry out operations against these groups inside the Kurdistan Region.
The official twitter account of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of 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... (KDPI) tweeted about a military operation carried out by a shadowy group known as the Zagros Eagles, believed to be affiliated with the KDPI. The operation targeted an agent of the Ministry of Intelligence (Ettela’at in Persian) who was allegedly responsible for a number of liquidations of Kurdish activists.
"In an military operation by the Zagros Eagles an agent of #Iran’s intelligence agency Ettela'at by the name of Khidir Piotipenah was killed," the KDPI tweeted. "Pirotipenah was responsible for the liquidation of several Kurdish activists and freedom fighters."
KDPI did not elaborate on the liquidation, but the human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... organization Hengaw said a staff member of the intelligence ministry in Piranshahr, West Azerbaijan province was assassinated. Hengaw said they have received information that the liquidation was "carried out by unidentified individuals" in the center of Piranshahr city on Tuesday and the individual killed was named as Khidir Piotipenah.
Iranian media affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have not immediately reported on the death.
The liquidation, if confirmed, could anger the Iranian military establishment including the IRGC which is responsible for the security situation in Kurdish areas. Last month, the IRGC carried out days of bombing of the Kurdistan Region’s border areas, claiming to target Kurdish opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region.
Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff for the Iranian armed forces, threatened on September 19 to expand operations if Kurdish and Iraqi authorities did not take steps to restrain the opposition groups.
"Iraq and the its northern region should not allow the mercenaries of America and the Zionist regime and armed counter-revolutionary groups to have training bases, TV and radio stations, camps, military training and then attack our border regions and assassinate our officers. This is unacceptable for us," Bagheri said. "The security forces headed by the IRGC will remove these terrorist groups and the operations that have been ongoing for the past two weeks will continue."
A number of Kurdish opposition groups including the KDPI are based in the Kurdistan Region where they operate camps, have TV and radio stations, and, based on their social media posts, regularly carry out armed training of new recruits.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has pledged not to allow the Kurdish groups to send fighters into Iran to target Iranian security forces.
The Kurdish opposition groups deny sending fighters across the border and say their sympathizers and members already inside Iran are behind the attacks on Iranian security forces.
Iran has carried out cross-border operations into the Kurdistan Region since the mid-1990s. Two years before the IRGC targeted US forces based at Iraq’s Ain al-Asad airbase in response to the killing of its most well-known commander Qasem Soleimani, the force fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at the bases of Kurdish opposition groups in Koya, Erbil province, killing at least 16 people, including senior members of the Kurdish groups.
[NPASYRIA] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... intends to deploy in the southern countryside of Idlib, where Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (HTS, formerly al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front) is present. Ottoman Turkish-backed informed sources in Idlib said.
The planned deployment will be in the southern countryside of Idlib along the M4 Highway, where the HTS controls the contact lines with the government forces, according to the sources.
However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the HTS has not yet commented on the matter.
Al Qaeda affiliate to take the Turkish shilling? Why on earth would they do that?
Turkey’s new attempts over the de-escalation zone and M4 Highway at this time in particular, are nothing but a maneuver by Erdogan’s regime aimed at suggesting that it is one of the outcomes of the Sochi summit, which satisfies Russia, according to the sources.
In late September, the Russian and Ottoman Turkish presidents concluded talks on limiting the resurgence of violence in northwest Syria and the possibility of expanding the sales of Russian air defense systems to Ankara despite US warnings.
Previous statements by leaders of the opposition Syrian National Army (SNA) stated that they will soon deploy in Idlib, after months of talk about the possibility of a merger between the SNA and the HTS.
Perhaps if they mean to donate SNA men and materiel to HTS, but otherwise I don’t see what Al Nusra would get out of the deal.
On September 9, five factions of the Ottoman Turkish-backed opposition SNA in northwest Syria announced their merging into a new formation called the Syrian Front for Liberation.
The new formation, which was announced through an official statement, includes the factions of the Sultan Suleiman Shah Division, al-Hamza Division, al-Mu’tasem Division, Suqour al-Sham Division, and the 20th Division.
It’s Toad The Wet Sprocket time again.
The sources believes that it is impossible for Russia to accept such solutions that circumvent the terms of bilateral agreements.
Russia calls for the neutralization of the radical and terrorist groups in Idlib, including the HTS. It also calls for the M4 Highway to be under the control of the Syrian government.

On Tuesday, five murderous Moslems of Iranian-backed factions were killed and ten others were maimed as a result of an attack by unidentified armed individuals near Palmyra in Syria’s desert.
"Five Syrian murderous Moslems of the Brigade of Abu al-Fadhal al-Abbas
... in Arabic Liwa Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas, also known as the al-Abbas Brigade and it was formed in 2012 to defend Shia shrines around Syria from Sunni rebel depredations. It’s fighters are primarily Syrian and Iraqi Shiites, but obviously other Shiites have joined in the fun as well...
died and ten others were maimed as a result of targeting their vehicle by armed individuals, expected to ISIS, with a thermal missile," a military source of the Iranian-backed Hashimiyoun faction in Palmyra said.
The armed attackers were riding cycle of violences and raising white banners bearing religious slogans used by ISIS, the source added.
"The maimed and dead murderous Moslems were all Syrians except for a maimed leader, who was an Afghan," the source noted.
Arab Lions of Islam submitted to Afghan leadership imposed by Iran? He must have been extraordinary as well as connected.
After the attack, the Iranian-backed factions brought in support to comb the area, while the attackers fled towards the depth of the desert.
Most of the murderous Moslems of the Iranian-backed factions, which are running large parts in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, Palmyra, and Homs, hail from the near villages, and there are foreigners bearing Asian nationalities.
On August 21, five Syrian members of the government forces were killed and eight were arrested, including an Afghan member,
The Syrian Arab Army also has Afghans in uniform? Diversity is their strength, I suppose...
in an ambush prepared by ISIS in the vicinity of al-Duwair town, east of Deir ez-Zor.
Wait — ISIS arrests people? Possibly that is a translation error...
[NPASYRIA] Four soldiers of the Syrian government forces were maimed in a Ottoman Turkish bombardment on the M4 Highway, near the village of al-Kantari, north of Raqqa, northern Syria, an informed military source told North Press on Tuesday.
The source added that the Ottoman Turkish mortar shelling targeted a gathering of the government forces near the village of al-Kantari.
Eyewitnesses said that Russian military helicopters have been flying since the morning hours along the contact lines with the Ottoman Turkish forces.
On October 2, the Ottoman Turkish forces shelled the village of Tel Keifji in Tel Tamr countryside, north of Hasakah, causing material damage to the residents’ houses.
Areas of Tel Tamr and Ain Issa in north and northeast Syria are frequently being targeted by Ottoman Turkish forces and their affiliated armed factions.

One of Bilal’s relatives said in a phone call with North Press that before committing the suicide, Bilal mentioned a name of a person called Abu Ja’far Mayer.
This person, and another one called Hassan Shobak, who are affiliated with Ottoman Turkish-backed al-Jabha al-Shamiya (Levant Front) faction, have been recently threatening him with arrest, he added.
They threaten and extort Bilal under the pretext that a brother of him had previously worked with the Autonomous Administration in Afrin.
The same source said that the blackmailer constantly visited the restaurant where Bilal worked, "and he used to demand money and take meals with high bills without paying."
It is worth mentioning that Bilal’s brother has been previously arrested five times by the same murderous Moslems before the family pay a ransom in turn for releasing him and smuggling him outside Afrin, according to the source.
