Afghanistan
Taliban rigging drones to drop bombs, Afghan spy chief says
[AlAhram] The Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
have deployed small drones to drop bombs on government forces in some recent attacks, Afghanistan's spy chief said Monday, illustrating a new fighting method used by the hard boys.

Ahmad Zia Shiraj, who heads the National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS), said Taliban fighters were using hobby drones and rigging them with explosives.

"The drones they are using are sold in the market. They are basically camera drones," Shiraj said in an address to parliament, adding the NDS wants to stop the import of the popular devices.

In late October, the Taliban reportedly used a drone to bomb the compound of the governor of Kunduz province.

Shiraj did not confirm the report, but he noted that the Taliban have used drones in Kunduz and Paktia provinces.

While the technique is new to the Taliban, 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....
(IS) jihadists operating in Iraq and Syria started using toy planes and hobby drones in 2016 to carry explosives.
And most of the jihadi groups communicate with each other, trade personnel, and put on training clinics, so any skill developed by one group eventually spreads around the world.
IS maintain a small but deadly presence in Afghanistan and have resisted years-long efforts by the US and Afghan forces to wipe them out.

"We have destroyed their leadership circle but their second layer are young are still active," Shiraj said.
The key is to kill them off faster than new ones can be trained to take over.
IS claimed three deadly attacks in recent weeks in Kabul that killed scores of people, including a rocket attack Saturday.

The Taliban and Washington signed a deal in February paving the way for foreign forces to leave Afghanistan entirely by May 2021.

In return, the hard boy group pledged to prevent transnational jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda and IS operating inside Afghanistan.
The pledge, of course, was a lie.

Criminal case for possible torture and inhumane treatments of Armenians by Azerbaijani soldiers
[AZERITIMES] Some mass media and social network pages spread videos of Azerbaijani servicemen insulting the bodies of Armenian servicemen killed during the combat operation to liberate our lands, as well as inhumane treatment with captured Armenian servicemen.

On the basis of the materials collected in connection with the mentioned information, the Military Prosecutor’s Office initiated a criminal case under Articles 115.2 (torture, cruel or inhumane treatment) and 245 (insulting acts on a grave or corpse) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, currently implementing necessary investigative operational measures on those video footages, measures are being taken to identify and bring to justice the guilty persons.

Persons who have committed such illegal acts will be identified and brought to justice, and the public will be provided with detailed information on the progress and results of the investigation.

The Prosecutor General’s Office once again warns citizens and servicemen of the Republic of Azerbaijan about the inadmissibility of the above-mentioned violations.

It is also stated that the investigation is conducted under the criminal cases initiated in the Investigation Department of the General Prosecutor’s Office regarding conduction of archaeological excavations by Armenia on our occupied territories beginning from 1992, plundering of historical monuments of material and cultural heritage, environmental crimes, the necessary investigative and operational measures including also visual inspection of scene of incident on our territories liberated from occupation are already implemented and the grounded proofs are obtained during those investigative actions regarding destruction of the historical monuments by Armenians.

But unlike Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan being the place where various cultures join, is renown worldwide as the country where the national and cultural diversity environment is formed, various nations and different confessions coexist in peace, law and order, mutual understanding and dialogue condition.

Our citizens should refrain from actions not corresponding with our culture and mentality by taking as a basis the values of tolerance and multiculturalism.

It should be noted once again that the destruction of historical, religious and cultural monuments on our territories liberated from occupation or infliction of damage on it in any form is unacceptable.

BSF intensifies search along Pak border, looks for more cross-border terror tunnels
[OneIndia] The Border Security Force has intensified patrolling of the International Border with Pakistain in the Samba and Rajouri sectors of 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....
Following an order by the Director General of the BSF, Rakesh Asthana, the forces are now patrolling the above mentioned areas with an objective of unearthing more cross-border tunnels like the one used by the four 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...
terrorists, who were killed on November 19.

#1  This Pakistan garbage has now been going on for thirty years, and it was initiated by the Jamait-e-Islami. JI advocated Kashmir's merger with Pakistan and the Islamisation of Kashmir, and in spring 1991 created a supreme advisory council under amir Shams-ul-Haq; next there was a youth wing under the Nasar-ul-Islam. Then in July 1991, the radical youth wing was separated and given the name Jamait-ul-Mujahideen. Finally came the creation of an indigenous intelligence division. In every case the moves were supervised by the Pakistan military ISI. It has been one failure after another ever since.

Iraq launches anti-ISIS military operation in Al Anbar province
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Security sources announced that the Iraqi army launched a large-scale military operation against ISIS terrorist elements in the western desert of al-Rutba in Al Anbar province on Monday.

The operation began after receiving information about the presence of ISIS hard boyz in the desert, the source added.

Following the liberation of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
in July 2017 and the end of the ISIS terrorist group, many hard boyz hid in the Iraqi provinces, especially Diyala, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
Salahddin, Al Anbar, and Nineveh, which have suitable geographical conditions for operations.

They have carried out various terrorist operations over the past year.

ISIS forces have intensified their attacks on Iraqi civilians and security forces in the past two months.

In recent months, the Iraqi Army have carried out a series of operations against ISIS members in Al Anbar, Nineveh, Salahddin governorates since the middle of last month.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Germany warns dual nationals off Iran travel after arrest
[IsraelTimes] Germany warns citizens who also hold Iranian nationality against traveling 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. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
after a dual national was arrested in October.

The foreign ministry has not named the detained citizen, but she has been identified as Nahid Taghavi by her daughter Mariam Claren.

"There have been several arrests of German-Iranian dual nationals in the past — including most recently in October 2020, often without comprehensible reasons," says the German foreign ministry in an online update of its travel warning.

"Further detentions of people who also possess Iranian citizenship cannot be ruled out," it adds, stressing therefore that "unnecessary travel by people who are also Iranian nationals is strongly discouraged."
