[RADIOSHABELLE] The US military has escalated a battle against al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... , an Death Eater group affiliated with al-Qaeda, in Somalia even as president Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... seeks to scale back operations against similar Islamist insurgencies elsewhere in the world, from Syria and Afghanistan to West Africa.
A surge in US Arclight airstrikes over the past four months of 2018 pushed the annual corpse count of suspected al-Shabaab fighters in Somalia to the third record high in as many years. Last year, the strikes killed 326 people in 47 disclosed attacks, defence department data show.
And this year, the intensity is on pace to eclipse the 2018 record. During January and February alone, the US Africa Command reported killing 225 people in 24 strikes in Somalia. Double-digit corpse counts are becoming routine, including a bloody five-day stretch in late February in which the military disclosed that it had killed 35, 20 and 26 people in three attacks.
Africa Command maintains that its corpse count includes only al-Shabaab krazed killers, even though the Death Eater group claims regularly that civilians are also killed. The Times could not independently verify the number of civilians killed.
The rise in airstrikes has also exacerbated a humanitarian crisis in the country, according to UN agencies and nongovernmental organizations working in the region, as civilians are displaced by ongoing conflict and extreme weather.
"People need to pay attention to the fact that there is this massive war going on," said Brittany Brown, who worked on Somalia policy at the National Security Council in the Obama and Trump administrations and is now chief of staff of the International Crisis Group.
The war in Somalia appears to be "on autopilot", she added,
...another way to read that is President Trump told the generals to win, then got out of their way, like they did ISIS in Iraq and Syria...
and one that is drawing the United States significantly deeper into an armed conflict without much public debate. The intensifying bombing campaign undercuts the Trump administration’s intended pivot to confront threats from great powers like China and Russia, and away from long counterinsurgency and counterterrorism campaigns that have been the Pentagon’s focus since 2001.
Gen Thomas D. Waldhauser, head of Africa Command, said planned cutbacks elsewhere would not affect what the military was doing in Somalia. "We’ll maintain our capability and capacity there," Waldhauser told the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday.

Summary: over an unspecified period of time, and at the cost of only 3 troops killed, 46 turbans were killed and 100 were arrested. Lots of stuff was broken, confiscated, or detonated, including 244 acres of poppies and 2 tonnes of pot.
[AlAhram] Forty-six "extremely dangerous" snuffies have been killed in northern and central Sinai during operations by Egypt's armed forces, according to a military statement on the latest developments related to Operation Sinai 2018.
In the 32nd statement on the comprehensive counter-terrorism operation, which was launched in 2018, the Egyptian armed forces said the bad boyz were potted following shootouts in northern and central Sinai.
Around 15 hideouts and four vehicles used by the snuffies in the north-east were destroyed by the air forces.
Three army soldiers were martyred in those operations, the statement said.
The timeframe of events was not specified.
Seventeen vehicles used for smuggling across borders were destroyed, as were ten other vehicles and a hideout by terrorists, in the southern and western area.
Forces discovered and demolished a number of hotbeds occupied by the snuffies in northern and central Sinai, seizing weaponry and ammunition and highly kaboom used to prepare improvised bombs (IEDs).
Around a hundred criminal elements and suspects were enjugged Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! A total of 204 IEDs were found and detonated by the military. A number of RPGs and mortars, used by the krazed killer elements to attack security checkpoints, were confiscated.
Around ten tunnel openings located at the international borderline with Rafah were destroyed.
The statement added that naval forces have continued to secure coastal borderlines to block smuggling attempts through both the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
Border guards, in cooperation with the police and military, discovered and destroyed 244 feddans
...literally the amount of land a yoke of oxen can plow in a day. In Egypt this is apparently about 1 acre...
of poppies, two tonnes of cannabis, and 1 million narcotic pills, as well as black powder used for IEDs.
They were able to seize 117 vehicles used in smuggling activities across borders, as well as confiscating an amount of ammunition and weaponry in different strategic locations.
The armed forces launched Operation Sinai 2018 in February last year to target terrorist and criminal organizations in northern and central Sinai, parts of the Nile Delta and the Western Desert.
The operation involves the army, navy, border patrol, air force and police.
Hundreds of snuffies have been killed as part of its activities.
In February 2018, the army launched a nationwide operation against Death Eaters, mainly focused on the volatile northern part of Sinai and the Western Desert, along the mostly non-existent border with Libya.
Some 600 bandidoshard boyz and around 40 soldiers have been killed since the start of the offensive, according to the armed forces. No independent statistics are available and northern Sinai is largely cut off to media and foreigners.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Surrey teenager faces jail for planning an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... attack after becoming obsessed with watching violent online gang ’drill’ videos.
Haider Ahmed, then a 17-year-old sixth form student, was still living with his parents in the leafy county when he was tossed in the slammer ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... for plotting an attack similar to those at London Bridge and Westminster.
He had become radicalised by violent gang ’drill’ rap videos he watched on YouTube at the age of 14, before graduating to Islamic State violence.
His online obsession led to him taking over an encrypted channel on Telegram dedicated to the terrorist group at the age of 16 and failing most of his GCSEs.
The channel put him in touch with an extensive terrorist recruitment network that had members in Libya, Kenya, India and the Philippines.
Ahmed was found guilty of preparing acts of terrorism by a majority of ten to two and will face sentence next month at Kingston Crown Court.
He asked a friend to sell him a knife because he was under 18 and could not buy it himself and was warned: ’Dnt gt caught with it. They’ll says ISIS, lol.’
Ahmed was also in touch with notorious British Islamic State recruiter Abu Sa'eed al-Britani.
The teenager, who was studying business, IT, maths and law, at ’outstanding’ Reigate College in Surrey, wrote: ’I’m doing well in college, however I’ve found out my purpose recently.’

"Compliments to the police and the NCTV for their vigilance -- a lot of misery was avoided," added Wilders, who heads the Freedom Party (PVV).

[Daily Excelsior] Three murderous Moslems of Jaish-e-Mohammad ...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat... (JeM) were killed in a shootout with security forces at Pinglish village of Tral in South Kashmire’ s Pulwama district today.
A joint team of Army’s 42 RR, 180 batallion of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Police launched cordon and search operation in Pinglish village after reports about presence of three murderous Moslems in the village including one local Mudasir Ahmad and two foreigners.
As the search party reached near the house in which murderous Moslems were hiding, they were fired upon by murderous Moslems from inside the house, triggering a shootout. The troops encircled the house trapping them inside.
The intermittent firing continued throughout the day and the house in which the murderous Moslems were hiding was razed to rubble. Three murderous Moslems were killed and two bodies of the murderous Moslems were recovered from the debris of the house along with two AK-47 rifles and one pistol.
The identities of the slain murderous Moslems are yet to be ascertained. The search operation is still going on in the area.
The bodies were charred and beyond the recognition as the house where the murderous Moslems were hiding was set on fire.
The internet services in the Awantipora area was suspended to prevent any violence during the operation.
And parts of Srinagar city observed shutdown today against summoning of Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Omar Farooq to New Delhi by the National Investigating Agency (NIA).
The shutdown in the area was called by the traders of the area in protest against his summoning. Authorities had imposed restrictions in parts of the city to prevent any violence in the area.
The separatists termed the NIA summons to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Syed Ali Geelani’s son Syed Naseem Geelani and asking them to present themselves before NIA court in New Delhi on Monday, as sheer political vendetta.
They said that NIA raids on the residences of leaders and their relatives followed by summoning them to New Delhi is a fresh attempt to build pressure on the leadership to push them into submission.
They strongly denounced the arrest spree, ban on Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... , slapping of PSA on JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik ...chairman of one of the two factions of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front. JKLF is a Kashmiri nationalist organization founded in Birmingham, UK in 1977. Branches weren't actually established in Kashmir for another ten years. It has the usual demands for separation of J&K from secular India so it can become an independent Islamic rathole. It seems to have no interest in Pak Kashmir breaking away to join it. In 1994 Malik renounced violence after he was released from jail and from that point he and his organization pursued peaceful means to impose their will on the region... and many others, harassing and intimidating the youth and elderly, vandalizing Properties, injuring the youth in peaceful protests, imposing curbs and restrictions in down town.
The leadership hailed the support extended by the traders, transporters and other segments of the society to the leadership and thanked them and asked that normal life should be resumed on March 11.

Using a knife that he had purchased in order to carry out the December 2016 attack, the security service said that Fughara approached 50-year-old Efrat resident Rafi Lisker from behind and stabbed him four times. Lisker had been on an evening stroll with his wife, who managed to flee to a home across the street to get help as her husband was being struck.
Lisker managed to keep a distance from the attacker and began screaming "terrorist," leading Fughara to flee the scene. The suspect remained on the lam until February.
The military later released video footage of Fughara’s arrest, showing troops from the elite Duvdevan unit entering his home late at night and, upon checking his ID card, taking him into custody.
Investigative findings have been transferred to the IDF’s Military Advocate General in order to file an indictment against Fughara.
Responding to the arrest, the Efrat Local Council thanked the Shin Bet for "not giving up" in its search for the attacker. The town’s mayor, Oded Revivi, also praised Lisker for engaging the terrorist, even after being stabbed, in a manner that saved lives.
[DAWN] Nine coppers were killed in an attack in Myanmar’s western state of Rakhine by the increasingly active Arakan Army rebel group, the country’s Information Ministry said on Sunday.
The ministry’s website said 60 Arakan Army forces of Evil on Saturday night attacked the police post, which was safeguarding question and answer sheets from the national high school matriculation examination.
The Arakan Army, which is aligned with Rakhine’s Buddhist population, seeks autonomy for the region. Rakhine is better known as the site of a brutal counterinsurgency campaign by the military against the Moslem Rohingya minority, causing more than 700,000 to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh. Attacks on police by the Rohingya ARSA Death Eater group which has become largely inactive triggered the crackdown.
The government declared the Arakan Army a terrorist organization after it killed 13 coppers and maimed nine in attacks on Jan 4. The Arakan Army on its website claims to have killed 10 government soldiers in a March 8 battle, but that incident has not been confirmed.
Myanmar’s military announced in January that government forces clashed with the Arakan Army 15 times in 2015, 26 times in 2016, 56 times in 2017 and 61 times in 2018, while the rebels also planted some mines. They said that up to mid-January this year, there have been at least eight armed encounters.

[Breitbart] Swedish-Norwegian "Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... " expert turned Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... jihadist Michael Skråmos has been locked away Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! by Kurdish forces in Syria, with sources claiming Norway wants to prosecute the bad boy.
The 33-year-old, born in Sweden to Norwegian parents, was captured this week in the village of Baghouz in one of the very few remaining areas under any form of Islamic State control, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports.
Skråmo had been one of the hundreds of Islamic State bully boyz still fighting Kurdish forces and attempting to defend the village. He was also not the only foreign fighter, with most of the last surviving holdouts being foreigners.
Though the Swedish citizen had told relatives that he would rather die than surrender, he was allegedly captured by the Kurds after surrendering to them following the previous capture of his seven children. "I vuss chuss yoking!"
Swedish YPG soldier Jesper Söder described the capture of the infamous jihadist, saying, "He was arrested with a cluster of people. I think he was found in a cluster of people in a tunnel where he had dug himself in."
Söder added that around 50 Islamic State members were arrested at once, including women and kiddies.
Magnus Ranstorp, terrorist researcher at the Swedish National Defense College, commented on the arrest and his potential prosecution by the Norwegian government, explaining: "In Norway, the average penalty for participation and co-operation with IS is approximately seven years."
He also added that there was a possibility of Skråmo being handed over to the United States, where he could face a much more substantial sentence of up to 30 years for fighting for the disintegrating caliphate.
Ranstorp suggested that while Skråmo had been well-known in Sweden, calling for Islamic State supporters to commit attacks on Swedish soil in propaganda videos, he was likely not involved in planning terror attacks personally.
"He has not been an international propagandist; that is, someone who appears to speak in English or other languages in his videos. So he is big in Swedish context but he is small potatoes in the Islamic State," Ranstorp said.

[Rudaw] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... fighters are using a network of tunnels under the village of Baghouz, eastern Syria, to avoid being targeted by coalition warplanes and Kurdish-led forces, which have resumed attacks on the last jihadist redoubt.
Coalition jets are targeting Islamic State (ISIS) positions inside the besieged village, including weapons depots and food stores.
Fierce fighting is expected to continue late into the night on Monday, according to Rudaw’s news hound on the front line.
"ISIS fighters are hiding in the tunnels," an Arab fighter with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) told Rudaw, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.
"It is a street fight. ISIS fighters are only meters away from us. I asked one of their imported muscle, who came close, to surrender and his life will be protected, but he refused."
Hawar News, a media agency close to the ruling authority of Rojava, reported that progress has been slowed further by the density of landmines in the area.
Advancing forces face another hidden foe, SDF front man Mustafah Bali told Rudaw ‐ snipers, using tunnels and spider holes to target reconnaissance teams.
"Our forces have liberated this area. This area was inhabited by civilians. About 50 of our comrades went in there, 50 meters from here, for reconnaissance," said Bali, adding there is only a distance of 100 meters between their forces and ISIS.
Fighting has repeatedly paused in recent weeks as the SDF opened corridors to allow civilians and surrendering ISIS members to evacuate.
Those who cross SDF lines are interrogated. Suspected Death Eaters are taken into custody, while civilians and the families of fighters are removed to makeshift camps.
If no more families emerge from the village within the next three days, the SDF and coalition will launch their final push into Baghouz, SDF officials told Rudaw.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, UK-based war monitor, says a further 340 ISIS fighters and their families left Baghouz in the last 48 hours, bring the total to emerge from the last ISIS redoubt to almost 50,000.
