Afghanistan
Daily Evacuation Brief January 23, 2023
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • IN NEW YEAR’S MESSAGE, CHINA ASKS TALIBAN TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS – Weeks after an ISIS-K attack on a Kabul hotel that catered to Chinese nationals, China’s Foreign Minister called on his counterpart in Afghanistan to prioritize the protection of Chinese citizens in the country. He also told Minister Muttaqi that Beijing would be willing to expand cooperation when the Taliban form an inclusive government.

  • NATIONAL MOVEMENT FOR PEACE & DEMOCRACY FORMED – The NMPD issued a lengthy statement on the current political situation in Afghanistan and claimed the movement had formed with 5 political parties but was seeking to build a broader anti-Taliban coalition. The statement is critical of the Taliban’s ability to govern the country effectively and intends to use elections as a basis for a return to normalcy. It is not clear how much support the NMPD has.

  • 2 MILD EARTHQUAKES REPORTED IN LAST 24HRS – A 3.9 magnitude earthquake was reported in Badakhshan on Monday and was followed by a second earthquake of 4.9 magnitude in Bamyan. Neither event has caused notable damage or casualties.

  • THE SILENT KILLER – In addition to hundreds of deaths attributed to the recent cold spell in the country, at least 100 additional deaths have been reported in 15 Provinces from monoxide poisoning resulting from the use of natural gas and petroleum-fueled heaters in Afghan homes. With power outages and ‘brown-outs’ in many provinces, local residents have turned to propane, kerosene, and other forms of heat to stay warm. The use of such methods requires ventilation in confined spaces that can kill entire families. The total casualty count from this period of adverse weather is thought to be hovering around 500, but rural communities often do not report such deaths in their communities and the number may be significantly higher.

  • BIZARRE ARREST IN PAKTIKA FOR ONLINE CRITICISM OF TALIBAN – The Taliban continue to monitor social media feeds with two specialized cyber-investigation cells in the Ministry of the Interior. In the Paktika case, the brother of an anti-Taliban Afghan who is living in exile was arrested for his brother’s Facebook posts. The brother under arrest, Ayaz Bacha, is not thought to have expressed any anti-Taliban sentiment online but fell victim to a Taliban plan to intimidate exiled Afghans by harassing friends and family. Mr. Bacha’s condition is currently unknown. The arrest follows on the heels of an incident where a prominent Paktika poet was detained for writing a critical poem.

Blast heard near mayor's office in Somalia's capital Mogadishu; after 6 hour complex attack it’s over, 6 turbans & 5 civilians toes up
[TWITTER]

At least five people were maimed in a blast on Sunday at the gates of the mayor’s office in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu as gunfire continued to sound, a member of the ambulance service and a witness said.

Somalia’s murderous Moslem group al-Shabaab

...Arabic for students...

grabbed credit for the attack.

Abdikadir Abdirahman, director of Aamin Ambulance Services, told Rooters that ambulance staff had so far evacuated five injured people from the scene of the blast.

Gunfire was still ongoing in the area and it was difficult for ambulances to access the area, he said.

"We were in the office and we were deafened by a blast, we ran out, gunfire followed," Farah Abdullahi, who works in the mayor’s office, told Rooters.

The mayor’s office is located in the local government headquarters building in a well-guarded area of Mogadishu.

Roads in the area have concrete barriers and multiple roadblocks. The building is about one and a half kilometers away from Villa Somalia, the president’s office.

Security forces immediately put the area under lockdown but an exchange of gunfire between the army and the assailants was ongoing, an intelligence officer who only gave his name as Ahmed, told Rooters.

"Our Mujahideen have stormed the well-guarded apostate local government headquarter of Mogadishu, we first started with suicide bombs and then foot fighters entered the building after killing the building guards," Abdiasis Abu Musab, al-Shabaab’s military operations front man, said in the statement.

Al-Shabaab frequently carries out bombings and gun assaults on targets in Mogadishu and across the country.

It is known that the attack began with a car explosion.

Somali troops overpower militants to end siege in Mogadishu

hard boys.

The ministry of information announced the operation was successfully concluded after the security forces killed the six attackers who holed up in the facility for at least six hours.

The statement added that five civilians bit the dust and four others were maimed in the attack by al-Shabaab which becomes the second of its kind in two months.

The police’s special Haram’ad brigade carried out the operation, and also rescued dozens of people from the building which houses the administration of the Benadir region.

The al-Qaeda-linked group is trying to disrupt ongoing military operations in Somalia by staging boom-mobile and gun attacks in Mogadishu, where the government is based.

Mogadishu mayor Yusuf Madale was out of his office at the time of the attack which began with explosions and followed by gunfire after button men made their way into the ground.

National broadcaster RTB reported that armed forces had located the hostages during a military operation in the Center-North region. The group included 39 children, with four infants among them.

Authorities have said they had been out in the countryside gathering wild fruit near the town of Arbinda in Soum province when Islamic hard boyz kidnapped them on Jan. 12 and 13.

Extremists have besieged towns around the West African country, preventing people and goods from moving freely. The town of Arbinda has been under jihadi blockade for years, making women more vulnerable to attacks if they try to leave, rights groups say.

group has overrun Burkina Faso, killing thousands and displacing nearly 2 million people in the West African nation. The failure of successive governments to stop the fighting has caused widespread discontent and triggered two military coups in 2022.

The military junta that seized power in September, vowing to restore security, is still struggling to stem the violence.

Fifth Column
House Democratic leader's daughter arrested for allegedly assaulting police officer, spray-painting monument
[FoxNews] House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark's daughter was arrested on Saturday evening for allegedly spray-painting a monument and assaulting a police officer during a protest.

"I love Riley, and this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting," Clark tweeted. "This will be evaluated by the legal system, and I am confident in that process."

Riley Dowell, 23, was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, destruction or injury of personal property, and damage of property by graffiti.

The Boston Police Department referred to the suspect as "Jared Dowell." Clark has spoken in the past about how one of her children is non-binary.

Officers were called to the Parkman Bandstand Monument in the Boston Common around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday evening about a protest.

When they arrived, they saw Dowell allegedly spray-painting "ACAB," which stands for "All Cops Are Bastards," and "NO COP CITY," an apparent reference to a police training facility in the suburbs of Atlanta that has sparked protests after officers shot and killed a protester who allegedly opened fire on them, injuring one, earlier this week.

While police arrested Dowell, a group of 20 protesters "began to surround officers while screaming profanities though megaphones on the public street causing traffic to come to a standstill," according to police.

The protesters were "interfering with the arrest" and "an officer was hit in the face and could be seen bleeding from the nose and mouth."

Dowell will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.

Clark, 59, is the second highest-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives after being elected whip last month.

Another protester accused of spray-painting the monument, 27-year-old Andrea Colletti, was arrested about an hour later.

#1  Given the DOMESTIC TERRORIST long and well documented history of BLM, ANTI-FA & The Socialist Liberation Movement against Police and others.

Why haven't the ring leaders and those funding them been outed and placed on a most wanted list by the DOJ?

Such lack of common basic actions should have many wondering?

Cop martyred in attack on Charsadda police post
[Dawn] One cop was martyred and two others were maimed when person or persons unknown attacked a police post in Dheri Zardad locality of Charsadda on Saturday.

Officials and residents said three attackers riding a cycle of violence shot up the police post within the remit of Nissata cop shoppe before sunset.

The attack left three on-duty constables injured. They were identified as Imran, Yousaf and Rameez. One attacker was injured in the retaliatory fire by the police but was whisked away by his accomplices. The injured coppers were shifted to the district headquarters hospital and later moved to Beautiful Downtown Peshawar

The area was cordoned off after the attack and a police contingent, led by District Police Officer Sohail Khalid, launched a search operation to arrest the attackers.

Pakistain (TTP) broke down in November, the holy warrior group has intensified its attacks, particularly targeting the police in KP and areas bordering Afghanistan.

On Thursday, three persons, including two coppers, were martyred when forces of Evil attacked a check post in Jamrud tehsil of Khyber tribal district.

Khyber DPO Mohammad Imran told journalists that the forces of Evil conducted a three-pronged attack at Takhtabeg check post on Peshawar-Torkham Highway.

Last week, a deputy superintendent of police and two constables were martyred when holy warriors, armed with automatic assault weapons, targeted the Sarband cop shoppe on the outskirts of the province’s capital, Peshawar late at night.

Officials said the holy warriors, equipped with advanced weapons, including thermal weapon sights, carried out a ’coordinated’ attack.

On Jan 10, unknown murderous Moslems attacked the Yarik cop shoppe in Dera Ismail Khan

button men fled after shooting three officers at the post in Zardad Dahri, which is in the Charsadda district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. He said two of the officers died before reaching the hospital while the third was being treated.

The shooting came two days after a similar attack in Khyber district that killed three coppers and maimed two.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Police arrest Palestinian teen with knife in Jerusalem Old City
[israelTimes] Officers catch 13-year-old resident of East Jerusalem’s Issawiya neighborhood, say he intended to carry out attack

A teenage boy from of East Jerusalem was prevented from carrying out a stabbing attack in the capital’s Old City, the Israel Police said Sunday.

The suspect, 13 years old, from the Issawiya neighborhood, was found to be carrying a switchblade.

Officers and Border Police on patrol noticed the teenager acting suspiciously in the Old City on Saturday night. They apprehended him and during a search of his possessions discovered the knife.

He was arrested and taken away for questioning. An initial investigation found that he planned to carry out a stabbing, police said.

The suspect was to be brought for a remand hearing on Sunday. The investigation is ongoing.

Jerusalem District Police Commander Doron Turgeman praised officers’ vigilance, saying their quick response foiled an attack.

The incident came a day after a Paleostinian man was rubbed out as he tried to carry out a stabbing attack at an illegal settlement outpost in the West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces said the man entered the Sde Ephraim Farm outpost by car and tried to stab an Israeli man before he was rubbed out by an armed Israeli civilian.

After release, Arab Israeli terrorists said rearrested, questioned for incitement
[IsraelTimes] Maher Younis, freed just 2 days earlier, reportedly detained Saturday at Ben Gvir’s order alongside his cousin Karim, set free 2 weeks ago, over alleged online praise for terror.

Two Arab Israeli gunnies released in recent weeks after serving 40 years in prison for the murder of an Israel Defense Forces soldier were rearrested Saturday and questioned over online content they have since posted that allegedly contains incitement to terrorism, Hebrew media reported.

The development came just two days after Maher Younis was released, and two weeks after his cousin Karim Younis was freed.

The pair, both from the town of ’Ara in northern Israel, murdered Cpl. Avraham Bromberg in 1980. They were given life sentences that were commuted to 40 years by then-president Shimon Peres in 2012.

The police interrogation, which was reportedly ordered by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, lasted several hours and the pair were then released. Ben Gvir received updates on the matter during the weekend.

Prosecutors will have to decide whether to file a fresh indictment against Maher, Channel 12 news reported.

Ben Gvir has been vocal in his push to mute public celebration of the terrorists’ release as much as possible. After rebuking police for enabling Karim to be feted in his hometown earlier this month, police took steps to prevent revelry following Maher’s release, including enforcing a ban on displaying the Paleostinian national flag.

The cousins are members of Israel’s Arab minority.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
US army says its forces captured three Islamic State members in Syria raid
[IsraelTimes] CENTCOM describes bully boyz as controllers, a logistician and an "associate" of the jihadist group, says that a civilian sustained minor injuries and was being treated

US forces have captured three 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....
group members during a helicopter and ground raid in eastern Syria, the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said Sunday.

CENTCOM described the bully boyz as controllers, a logistician, and an "associate" of the jihadist group and said they were captured a day earlier.

A civilian sustained "minor injuries" and was taken to a medical facility, CENTCOM said in a statement.

Washington leads an international coalition battling IS in Syria.

After the jihadists lost their last scraps of territory following a military onslaught backed by the coalition in March 2019, IS remnants in Syria mostly retreated into desert hideouts in the country’s east.

They have since used such hideouts to ambush Kurdish-led forces and Syrian government troops while continuing to mount attacks in Iraq.

On Friday, CENTCOM said a drone attack hit a US-led coalition base in southern Syria, with a war monitor saying it was launched by Iran-backed groups.
Update from NPA Syria at 10:00 a.m. ET:
This came in a news release by the CENTCOM, in which it said in a joint raid with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) the two ISIS militants Abdallah Hamid Muslih al-Maddad AKA Abu Hamza al-Suri, an ISIS facilitator, Husam Hamid al-Muslih al-Maddad al-Khayr, ISIS facilitator and logistician, and an associate were captured.
