[REGNUM] The participation of Russian military structures in supporting the government of Mali and Libyan military leader Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly... is introducing a certain tension into Russia’s relations with its long-standing partner in the region, and the West, taking advantage of this, is trying to drive a wedge into these relations.

"French, American and other Western publications and analytical centers are doing everything possible to sow the seeds of discord between Russia and the countries of the region, including Algeria, to increase their concerns. And in this case, this policy is bearing fruit," Lukyanov summed up.
#3
"The Supreme Court of Venezuela has ruled that last month’s presidential election was won by President Nicolas Maduro." So western regime change failed here.
#5
"Lukyanov notes, given Algeria’s negative attitude towards the LNA and Haftar personally and its rejection of the UAE’s policies in Libya, Sudan and the Sahara-Sahel region, the Algerian side was inclined to blame not so much the Wagner PMC as the entire Russian policy in the region, saying that it serves the interests of the UAE." And who underpins UAE policy, which serves the interest of whom? A glance at the CIA super secret checkbook would tell the tale.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … web developer accused of spreading lies about the Southport knifeman that sparked riots on Britain's streets.
A Pakistani web developer accused of spreading disinformation about the Southport knifeman which triggered the UK riots has been charged with cyber terrorism. Farhan Asif reportedly worked for news aggregation website Channel3Now - which a Daily Mail investigation revealed started out as an obscure Russian YouTube channel ten years ago and spread the misinformation to millions online. It was falsely claimed that the knifeman - whose identity could not be published at the time due to his age - was a migrant who arrived in the UK via boat and was on an MI6 watchlist.
Police in Pakistan have charged Asif with cyber terrorism, in relation to the disinformation thought to have fuelled the widespread rioting. He has been charged under Section 9 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, which outlaws creating ‘a sense of fear or insecurity in society’. Federal investigators in Pakistan were given a day to question Asif by a court on Wednesday, and he is due to appear in court on Thursday when investigators are expected to seek more time to interrogate him.
An unnamed police officer told the Pakistani newspaper Dawn: ‘The allegations should not be taken lightly as they can have a far-reaching impact on the Pakistani community in the UK in particular and Muslims in general.’
Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, were tragically killed in the July 29 attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, which sparked the riots after online misinformation wrongly said it had been committed by a Muslim migrant. Channel3Now reported that the suspect was a '17-year-old asylum-seeker' called Ali al-Shakati, who allegedly arrived in the UK by boat in 2023 and it claimed he was on an MI6 watch list.
But the actual suspect was Axel Rudakubana, now 18, from Banks, Lancashire, who will stand trial next year after being charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article in a public place.
Channel3Now was one of the first accounts on X to share incorrect details about the Southport suspect. The first mention of the name came from the account of Bernie Spofforth, an anti-lockdown activist and Cheshire businesswoman.
More than 50 police officers were injured as up to 1,000 people gathered outside a Southport mosque after the fake news over the identity of the suspect in the killings was shared online.
Asif was uncovered as a significant figure in the Channel3News website in an ITV News investigation, which found that he ran the website - which has since been shut down - from his luxurious housing estate in Lahore.
'I don't know how such a small article or a minor Twitter account could cause widespread confusion,' he told ITV News after being confronted about the fake news the website spread.
'Channel3Now mentioned that [the suspect was] a Muslim and an immigrant, but this has no connection to the chaos, which is being caused by people in his own country.
'If there was misinformation, it could have been addressed calmly. Why was there such an uproar?'
A senior official in the local Pakistani police force told The Telegraph Asif had been detained over allegedly spreading fake news that resulted in violent riots. He has since been handed over to the Federal Investigation Agency.
Asif denied writing the article about the Southport knifeman and told ITV News that he understands that the article was deleted a day after it was posted and that an apology was issued.
He claims that four people from the information search team were fired over the fake news article.
Dawn said their own investigation into the fake news showed that Asif was not the source of the information and had simply copy and pasted it from a social media post.
Ten others seriously injured during the attack on the dance class at the Hart Space Community Centre in Southport a the end of July.
The UK's worst unrest in more than a decade led to some 1,100 arrests. The government pledged that rioters who hurled bricks at police, looted shops and attacked mosques and hotels used to house asylum-seekers would feel 'the full force of the law.'
Deepfakes have targeted political or other high-profile figures, which can have a "profound impact on elections by creating and spreading highly believable misinformation that can manipulate public perception of candidates"

June 24, 2015
Over the past decade, we have witnessed a significant shift in hostage-takings by terrorist organizations and criminal groups that has challenged the ability of the U.S. Government to secure the safe recovery of U.S. nationals taken captive. The wanton and brutal murder of several Americans held hostage over the past year lays bare the magnitude of this challenge. Other less publicized cases of Americans held hostage overseas, including several who remain in captivity, are no less tragic and have presented the U.S. Government with a similar set of difficult choices. The Government's response to hostage-takings must therefore evolve to account for this new reality. Moreover, the Government's handling of these hostage cases – and in particular its interaction and communication with families whose loved ones have been taken hostage – must improve. To that end, in December 2014 President Obama directed a comprehensive review of U.S. policy toward overseas hostage-takings.
Based on the recommendations resulting from this review, the President approved Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 30, U.S. Nationals Taken Hostage Abroad and Personnel Recovery Efforts and issued an Executive Order on the recovery of U.S. hostages taken abroad, which directs key organizational changes to ensure that the U.S. Government is doing all that it can to safely recover Americans taken hostage overseas and is being responsive to the needs of their families. The key findings and recommendations set forth by the review can be found in the Report on U.S. Hostage Policy at the following link. PPD-30 and the Executive Order can be found on WhiteHouse.gov.
[FoxNews] US military started taking down humanitarian pier in Gaza last month.
Though the timeline remains unclear, a defense official said the U.S. Army will be contracting Float-On/Float-Off vessels because it is safer and more cost-effective entering hurricane season.
The U.S. military quietly started shutting down the humanitarian pier in Gaza last month.
The Pentagon estimated the cost of the pier's construction at roughly $230 million, and many congressional members publicly criticized the effort.
Humanitarian aid will now be delivered through a maritime corridor in Cyprus to Ashdod before going into Gaza, a fully civilian-run operation.

[IsraelTimes] Abu Kabir Forensic Institute provides initial autospy findings of bodies recovered by IDF in Khan Younis tunnel; bodies of terrorists found nearby also examined, no gunshot wounds
The bodies of the six hostages recovered by the IDF from southern 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 Hamas with 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... ’s Khan Younis this week all have signs of gunshot wounds, according to initial autopsy findings released Thursday
IDF representatives showed the families of Alex Dancyg, Yagev Buchshtav, Chaim Peri, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, and Avraham Munder the findings from the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.
According to the institute’s report, the bodies of the six hostages all have signs of gunfire, likely indicating they were killed by their captors.
Channel 12 reported that the military believes that they were executed by their captors during an IDF operation near where they were being held, with their guards possibly believing a rescue operation was underway.
The findings are initial, and the IDF and health officials have not yet determined the exact causes of deaths.
The institute is also working to identify four more bodies found near the hostages, who are believed by the IDF to be terrorists. The institute’s preliminary investigation had found no signs of gunfire on any of those bodies.
The recovery operation took place overnight between Monday and Tuesday this week, amid a week-old operation in Khan Younis that was expanded last weekend.
The bodies were located in a 10-meter-deep tunnel shaft hidden behind a false wall.
The soldiers did not encounter any resistance inside the tunnel, though forces did kill several button men in the surrounding area, and some terror operatives guarding the tunnel fled as Israeli forces established control.
The troops found weapons on several dead terror operatives within a few hundred meters of the tunnel where the bodies were held, close to some of the shafts that led to the underground passages. Military sources said those button men were likely guarding the area of the tunnel.
In a statement on Thursday, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said the discovery of bullets in the hostages’ bodies was "further proof of the cruelty of the bandidosDeath Eaters who have been holding 109 hostages for 321 days.
"In every minute that the deal is not completed, another hostage could lose their life. After ten and a half months of war in which the hostages have been suffering, tortured, and dying, it is clear to all that the return of the hostages is only possible through a deal," the forum continued.
"The recovery of the six bodies is no achievement; it is a testimony of the complete failure to reach a deal in time, as six hostages who were supposed to return alive have returned in coffins," it said.
NOTE:
I predict a Hamas/Iran staged sham Truce negotiation using Biden/Harris in Sept-Oct. Because, dealing with her, it will be easier to get what they want, than if Trump deals with them.
Thanks for that context. I heard all about the "war crimes" and the negatives of Israelis offensive in Khan Younis, but none of those sources reported that's where the hostages were recovered, and of those sources, none reported the hostages were executed with signs of gunfire.

but none of those sources reported that's where the hostages were recovered, and of those sources, none reported the hostages were executed with signs of gunfire.
That all the hostage bodies showed gunshot wounds is new information as of yesterday evening, Israel time, mossomo. I didn’t see it until I was doing articles in the middle of the night, when I would have been sleeping if I’d been more organized earlier. Ynet points out:
In the past months, the IDF has recovered 18 hostages' bodies, mainly from Jabaliya and Khan Younis, across four operations.

[IsraelTimes] Terror group made strategic decision weeks ago, given limited capacity to attack from Gaza; Palestinian reports identify failed Tel Aviv suicide bomber as Hamas man from Nablus
The Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... terror group has taken a strategic decision to carry out attacks against Israelis abroad in a bid to avenge the recent killing of group leader Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... , Channel 12 reported Thursday, citing Paleostinian sources.
The report said the shift in tactics by Hamas was made just two days after the leader was killed in Tehran last month. The killing was blamed on Israel, which has not taken responsibility.
In part, the shift to tactics, previously embodied by Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah 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 dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?

It was not clear whether the liquidation campaign was meant to target Israeli civilians, such as tourists, or whether it was targeted at officials, the news network said.
Hamas started the ongoing war with its attack on Israel on October 7 last year, when thousands of faceless myrmidons burst into the country, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages.
For more than three weeks, the terror group, as well as its sponsor Iran, have been vowing to retaliate against Israel for the liquidation in Tehran of Hamas’s political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in a blast for which Israel has neither claimed nor denied responsibility.
Hamas also grabbed credit for a failed suicide kaboom attack last Sunday, after a bomb in a man’s backpack detonated as he walked down Lehi Road in south Tel Aviv, abruptly ejecting him from the gene pool and moderately wounding a passerby. Unconfirmed Paleostinian reports claimed Thursday that the jacket wallah who was killed while attempting to carry out an attack in Tel Aviv earlier this week was Jaafar Mona, from the West Bank city of Nablus.
The reports said that Israeli authorities notified Mona’s family recently. There was no official confirmation.
Meanwhile,
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck slipped the habañero into the roasted jalapeño... Channel 12 reported that Mona was a longtime Hamas activist. It said that in the wake of the bombing, his brother had fled to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... . The report said it could not divulge further details, citing Israel’s military censor.
The Hamas and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror groups grabbed credit for the intended attack, although did not offer any proof.
Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate for Israel’s killing of its senior commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut late last month, which came just hours before the liquidation of Haniyeh in Tehran.
The Shi’ite group has a history of such attacks, and is believed to be responsible for the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, which killed 85 people.
Hamas, on the other hand, has never launched a successful attack abroad since its founding in 1987, though several thwarted terror plots abroad are suspected to have been connected to the group.
In December, members of an alleged Hamas network with cells in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands were arrested on suspicion of plotting to attack Jewish targets in Europe.
The network had been planning to attack Israel’s embassy in Sweden, buy UAVs and utilize criminal organizations in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... to support attacks, Israeli security agencies said.
"The Hamas terrorist organization has been working relentlessly and exhaustively to expand its lethal operations to Europe, and thereby constitutes a threat to the domestic security of these countries," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the time.
Earlier this month, the National Security Council warned Israelis against travel to some 40 countries that have been designated at moderate or high threat level.
"It is possible that [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.
