Afghanistan
ASF Foil Plotted Terrorist Attack on Muharram Rituals
[KhaamaPress] Afghan Special Forces
...established in 2007 with the intent of taking one conventional infantry kandak (battalion) from each of the regional ANA corps, giving them special training and equipment, and reorganizing based on the U.S. Army Rangers. Each battalion is assigned to one of the six regional corps. The commandos comprise 7% of the Afghan National Security Forces but conduct 70% to 80% of the fighting...
in an operation nabbed a group of nine people, including a woman, who plotted attacks on Muharram rituals in Police District 5 of the Kabul city Wednesday night, Ministry of Interior said in a statement.

The operation was carried at PD5 of Kabul city, where the security officials were able to arrest at least nine people, including a women, in Kot-e-Sangi, the statement read.

Security officials seized two suicide kaboom vests and six further bombs from the perpetrators, according to the statement.

Meanwhile,
...back at the precinct house, Don Calamari's lawyer was getting even redder in the face...
the Afghan forces arrested further five Lions of Islam in PD12 of the capital city, the statement added.

Ministry of Interior exclaimed its security team will not allow any terrorist to inflict harm or attack during the Ashura — the 10th of Muharram.

Muharram is the first month of Islamic calendar, and is known as mourning month that includes a set of commemoration rituals observed primarily by Shia and Sufi Moslems.

Most of the events associated with the ritual take place in congregation halls known as Hussianiya.
...also known as an imambargh, it’s a congregation hall for Twelver Shia Muslims...

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Libyan Embassy in Belarus Attacked by 30 GNA goons
[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] A group of at least 30 armed people allegedly affiliated with the Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
-based Government of National Accord has attacked the Libyan embassy in the Belarusian capital of Minsk in the early hours of Thursday, Libyan Charge d’Affairs Mohammed Astete said.

"We were attacked by a group of around 30 people affiliated with the Libyan Government of National Accord", Astete said.

The embassy has pictures that prove this information, he noted, adding that he was personally assaulted. As of now, the diplomatic staff is inside the building, while the attackers still remain on the embassy’s territory.

"We have contacted the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the situation was coordinated", Astete said.

A video, allegedly captured by the embassy’s CCTV shows people infiltrating the facility.

According to the diplomat, the Libyan officials were also in touch with the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, but the local law enforcement agencies did not take any measures on the matter. Astete also stated that the attackers were of Belarusian nationality.

The Libyan Embassy represents the GNA’s rival power — the eastern-based parliament, which is supported by the Libyan National Army led by Field Marshal 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...
. His forces are fighting against the UN-backed Government of National Accord in the west, headed by Fayez Sarraj.

Fifth Column
9 arrested after ‘suspicious vehicles with out-of-state plates' stopped in Kenosha
[Channel 3000 News] KENOSHA, Wis. — Nine people were arrested Wednesday night in Kenosha following a citizen tip regarding several "suspicious" vehicles with out of state plates meeting in a remote lot in the city.

According to our partners at CBS 58 in Milwaukee, officers located and followed a black school bus, bread truck and minivan to a gas station near Washington Road and 30th Avenue, where the occupants of the bus and truck exited and attempted to fill multiple fuel cans.

Police believed the occupants were preparing for criminal activity related to the protesting going on in the city. Police arrested the occupants inside the van after the driver tried leaving the area.

Police said helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks and suspect controlled substances were found in the vehicles, CBS 58 reports.

The nine individuals were arrested for possible disorderly conduct charges.

#7  The vehicle belonged to an Antifa auxillary known as Riot Kitchen based in Seattle. Their stated goal is to provide food to the protesters. Excellent police work by the Feds. The charges however are curious. They crossed state lines to take part in a riot, but were charged with disorderly conduct? BS

#1  So when are we going to call this what it is? An armed insurrection.

18 U.S. Code § 2383.Rebellion or insurrection

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

#2  Seems pretty straight forward to me.

18 U.S. Code § 2384.Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

#3  Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

How do complicit governors fit into this equation?

Closes the door and they push it open. Husband fires his shotgun. 9mm response is replied. They leave. Rumor they want to set fire to the courthouse. Estimated 500 locals show up. They call police. 6 FBI vehicles show up and transport group to State line with Maryland. Now onto DC for hymn singing and bible reading.

[NYPOST] The Minneapolis Police Department knuckled under pressure and yanked an online video of a murder suspect’s suicide "out of respect to the individual, his family and the community."The department’s sudden about-face came Thursday — a day after they initially tweeted the graphic video hoping to dispel false reports that cops were somehow to blame in the man’s death, which kicked off a night of violent mostly peaceful unrest in the city.

"Yesterday MPD posted a video in order to dispel rumors that caused significant public safety concerns for our city," they tweeted. "After receiving feedback from the community, we have removed the video due to the graphic nature and out of respect to the individual, his family and the community."

Police removed the tweet containing the video, which The Post is continuing to publish.

The clip showed the man — suspected in a murder earlier Wednesday — fatally shooting himself on the Nicollet Mall in downtown just as cops close in around 6 p.m. Police tweeted the video about 90 minutes later amid widespread rumors that it was a police-involved shooting. Looting and vandalism continued throughout the night.

Critics aired their complaints on Twitter.

"Tell me again how the MPD respects individuals. I’ll wait," one tweeted, with a photo of fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin with his knee on the neck of George Floyd.

Someone else tweeted, "bang up job you guys are doing. everyone loves and trusts you more than ever now just bravo all around."

Which leads to some thoughts, however. In the event of a change of Administrations, we could very well see this reversed; that is, people legitimately defending themselves and their property being hauled up on Federal charges, not to mention charges being dropped against rioters.

And not that the New Progressive Feds(TM) would care, but that might very well be the proverbial straw.

Iraq
Hours after abduction, two Kurdish brothers found dead in Khanaqin
[Rudaw] Two kidnapped Kurdish brothers were found dead in Khanaqin, Diyala province on Thursday shortly after being kidnapped by button men, confirmed a local official, adding the fate of another person remains unknown.

"On Wednesday night at 9:40pm on the Dakai Nuri Mikail village, a number of unidentified gunnies, just 100 meters from an Iraqi army security checkpoint stopped and then set alight two trucks, killing one of the drivers, an Arab, right there and the fate of the other driver is unknown as of yet," Brig Gen. Shamal Abdulrahman, director of Asayesh (security) in the town of Koks, Khanaqin, told Rudaw.

Dakai Nuri Mikail is a Kurdish-inhabited village, situated southwest of Khanaqin city.

Abdulrahman added the trucks were on their way to take chicks to a poultry farm in the vicinity of the village.

"The incident happened close to the chicken farm. The owners of the farm, two brothers named Luqman Dawood and Saman Dawood rushed to the scene in order to extinguish the flames. At that point, they were ambushed by the murderous Moslems, who kidnapped them," he explained.

"The bodies of the two brothers were discovered today near the location where they were kidnapped."

Brig. Diyar Shawkat, head of Khanaqin police, attributes the attacks to ISIS murderous Moslems.

"The ISIS Death Eaters had established a fake checkpoint last night on the road," Shawkat said.

ISIS has not claimed the killings, but the group is active in the area disputed between Erbil and Baghdad.

Khanaqin, in Diyala province, was under administration of the Kurdistan Regional Government until the events of October 2017, when Baghdad sent federal forces to take over the disputed areas.

The deterioration of Khanaqin's security situation has previously been denounced by the residents, who have staged strikes demanding the return of the Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga.

Many Kurdish families have left the city due to the gaps in security.

ISIS suspect arrested for spying on Peshmerga, Iraqi forces in Kirkuk
[Rudaw] Iraqi intelligence arrested a man in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
accused of spying on Iraqi security forces and Kurdish Peshmerga for the 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....
(ISIS) in the disputed province, according to a statement from the Iraqi interior ministry on Thursday.

The unnamed "terrorist" was wanted by security forces for "his affiliation to ISIS snuffies and cooperation with them by transmitting information," stated the ministry, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.

"During his initial investigation, he admitted that he provided information on the movements and locations of the security forces and Peshmerga forces [to ISIS] in exchange for money," added the statement.

Rudaw English reached out to several Peshmerga commanders for comment, but they were not available.

Not much by weight or volume, when considering what is consumed by a military operation.
