With a stalled career, poor health, failed marriages, financial problems, and the ending of a torrid affair with married Rex Harrison, Carole Landis committed suicide with Seconal in 1948. Intelligent, generous, talented and gorgeous, she was only 29.

#6  Sad story. There are many such Hollywood stories. Carole was married at 15, dead at 29.. Some places that would be illegal. Rock and Roll is similar. For example. Jerry Lee Lewis`third marriage was to his 13 year old cousin. Landis traveled the world entertaning GIs during WWII--more than any other entertainer.

Afghanistan
Suicide explosion outside the Russian embassy in Kabul
[Twitter]


It was a busy morning in Kabul Town, according to this slightly incoherent local report:
Russian Embassy Employees among Dead After Kabul Bombing

[KhaamaPress] The explosion outside the Russian embassy in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, on Monday claimed the lives of two embassy personnel and one civilian and resulted in the injury of at least ten other people.

According to foreign media citing the Russian Foreign Ministry, the blast in Kabul, which took place outside the Russian embassy, killed two employees and injured several others near the diplomatic mission.

The jacket wallah who detonated the explosives was identified by the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
security forces, according to the Taliban-run Bakhtar news agency. According to Bakhtar, the Taliban forces opened fire on the suicide bomber and killed him.

A suicide bomber detonated explosives near the entrance to the Russian Embassy on Darulaman Road in Kabul, according to Afghan police, who added that the attacker was rubbed out by armed guards as he neared the gate.

According to Khalid Zadran, the spokesperson of the Taliban police in Kabul, the Taliban security forces shot and killed the bomber "before reaching his goal" of detonating the explosives among people near the Russian embassy.

Earlier on Monday, at about 11:00 a.m. a kaboom took place near the Russian Embassy, which according to the Taliban authorities left one dead and ten injured.

Health officials at the Istiqlal Hospital, where the incident’s victims were transferred, also told the media that one person was killed and ten others were maimed.

Daily Evacuation Brief September 5, 2022
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • MORE FORCED EVICTIONS — Another 24 families in Panjshir were reportedly forcibly evicted from their homes for reputedly collaborating with the NRF. It is not clear where the families were moved to and/or their current disposition.

  • NRF STRIKE — The NRF launched a preemptive strike against the Taliban Security Forces headquarters in the Warsaj district, Takhar province early on Sunday. The fighting was said to be fierce, and the Taliban were thought to have suffered a significant number of casualties. A source within the Resistance claimed the NRF had been surveilling the headquarters for some time and found the security to be lax enough to warrant an attack.

NEXT 24 HOURS
TAKHAR OFFENSIVE POSSIBLE — The Taliban in Takhar are reportedly responding to Sunday’s raid with a possible offensive of their own in the province. Nearly two hundred Taliban trucks were seen converging on a soccer field on the outskirts of Takhar city where a war council has been set up. The objectives of the offensive are currently unclear, but violence is expected in the coming 24 hours.

United States destroyed the functionary of al-Qaeda
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[REGNUM] A major functionary of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization banned in Russia * Abu Hassan Al-Mujahid was killed,
...I’m not sure who he is — he doesn’t appear under that spelling in our archives, there’s nothing about his death in our usual sources for Afghan news, and a quick internet search only yields the report of the death in 2019 in Syria of one Abul-Hasan al-Muhajir, an Egyptian who was an ISIS frontman. Perhaps the rest of the world will catch up with Regnum tomorrow...
four Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) were destroyed along with him, - Andrei Serenko , an expert on Afghanistan , said on the TG channel.

According to sources, a terrorist who arrived in the country from Egypt two months ago was killed in an American drone attack.

Recall that on July 31, 2022, the United States destroyed the leader of Al-Qaeda (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) Ayman al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan .

The official representative of the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) , Zabihullah Mujahid, condemned the attack and considered it contrary to international principles and the Doha agreement.

Later, the head of the Afghan Ministry of Defense, Mullah Yakub, accused the Pakistani leadership of providing the country's airspace for American aircraft, in particular UAVs, which then attack targets in Afghanistan. At the same time, Mullah Yakub demanded that the Pakistani authorities stop cooperating with the United States in this matter.

#2  Exactly, Lord Garth — that’s the one who could not be this Abu Hassan Al-Mujahid who was killed with four Talibs. So who is our major Al Qaeda man in Afghanistan who recently arrived from Egypt?

#3  This could be one of Al Qaeda's many Abu Hasan (single s). Al-Majahid would simply be a descriptive.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Four troops hurt as Palestinians hurl explosives at West Bank military post
[IsraelTimes] Army launches manhunt, closes off entrance to nearby Paleostinian village after attack on soldiers near settlement of Halamish, northwest of Ramallah, amid uptick in violence

Four Israeli soldiers were maimed after Paleostinians hurled an improvised bomb at a military post in the central West Bank on Sunday night, the military said.

The incident came amid rising violence in the West Bank, and hours after three Paleostinians shot up a bus carrying soldiers, wounding seven people.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the IED was hurled at a military post near the West Bank settlement of Halamish and the adjacent Paleostinian town of Nabi Saleh.

The four soldiers were listed in light condition and treated at the scene, the IDF said. The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service said one was taken for further medical treatment at the Tel Hashomer hospital in Ramat Gan after sustaining injuries from shrapnel.

The military launched a manhunt for the suspects who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. According to Paleostinian media reports, the army closed the main entrance to Nabi Saleh, a frequent flashpoint between soldiers and Paleostinians.

Tensions have escalated in the West Bank in recent days. Israeli security forces have stepped up arrest raids and operations and there have been several attacks by Paleostinian button men on military posts across the West Bank.

Earlier on Sunday, three attackers opened fire on a bus carrying soldiers, seriously wounding the driver and leaving six troops with non-life-threatening injuries. One of the button men, who holds Israeli citizenship, was still on the loose as of Sunday night, according to Israeli authorities.

On Friday, a soldier was stabbed in Hebron, and there have also been numerous stone-throwing attacks on Israeli civilians driving in the West Bank in recent days.

Shortly before midnight Sunday, a 39-year-old man was brought to a Jerusalem hospital with light injuries to his upper body after being stoned while driving on Route 60 in the West Bank north of Jerusalem, a spokesperson for the Magen David Adom rescue service said.

Hamas says executed 5 Palestinians in Gaza, including 2 for 'collaboration'


The Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, Islamist movement ruling the 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 Hamaswith 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...
Strip announced on Sunday that it executed five Paleostinians, including two for "collaboration" with Israel.

The executions for collaboration are the first carried out in the coastal Paleostinian enclave for more than five years.

"On Sunday morning, the death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
was carried out against two condemned over collaboration with the occupation (Israel), and three others in criminal cases," Hamas said in a statement.

It added that the defendants had previously been given "their full rights to defend themselves."

Hamas's interior ministry provided the initials and years of birth of the five executed Paleostinians, but did not give their full names.

The two executed over "collaboration" with Israel were two men born in 1978 and 1968.

The older of the two was a resident of Khan Yunis in the south of the blockaded Gaza Strip. He was convicted of supplying Israel in 1991 with "information on men of the resistance, their residence... and the location of rocket launchpads", Hamas said.

The second was condemned for supplying Israel in 2001 with intelligence "that led to the targeting and martyrdom of citizens" by Israeli forces, the statement added.

The three others executed had been convicted of murder, the statement said.

- FIRST EXECUTIONS IN YEARS -
Hamas has sentenced numerous people to death in recent years for "collaboration" with Israel, but the executions announced Sunday are the first carried out since May 2017. Three Paleostinians -- Ashraf Abu Leila, Hisham al-Aloul and Abdallah al-Nashar -- were executed then over their involvement in assassinating a Hamas military leader. The men were publicly executed, with hundreds of people allowed to watch the sentences being carried out. They had been arrested just weeks earlier over the killing of Mazen Faqha, who was allegedly rubbed out on behalf of Israel.

While Hamas keeps the death penalty
on the statute books, Paleostinian officials in the occupied West Bank have not carried out such a sentence in recent years. Paleostinian president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....

...an idea whose time has gone...

West Bank: Shooting at Israeli soldiers' bus leaves seven wounded; 3 miscreants all one family
[MIDDLEEASTEYE] A shooting at an Israeli bus in the occupied West Bank on Sunday left at least six soldiers and one civilian driver maimed, according to the Israeli army.

The army arrested two Paleostinians in connection with the incident, it said in a statement.

Israeli forces said gunnies opened fire from a truck at the bus driving on a major highway in the northern part of the Jordan Valley, near the Israeli settlement of Hamra.

One soldier was seriously maimed with gunshot injuries and was transferred by helicopter to Rambam Hospital in Haifa for treatment. The other five soldiers and the civilian driver were lightly maimed, according to army officials and medics.

Two suspects were later arrested in connection with the incident after their vehicle caught fire while escaping. According to the army, the fire may have been caused by a mistakenly ignited Molotov cocktail, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

A third suspect reportedly managed to flee, and a manhunt has been launched to capture him.

Footage from the scene showed the windscreen of the targeted bus pierced with multiple bullets.
Israeli troops on Sunday launched a manhunt for a third member of a cell that shot up a bus carrying soldiers earlier Sunday, wounding seven people, with a senior military official saying the trio were family members and the suspect on the lam holds Israeli citizenship.

The trio’s pickup truck had Israeli, not Paleostinian, license plates.

The bigwig told news hounds that the three are relatives — a father, a son, and the elder’s nephew.

Two of the button men — the son and nephew — jumped out of the burning vehicle and were promptly arrested by soldiers and coppers. Two firearms were located nearby.

They were named by Paleostinian media as Muhammed and Walid Turkman, residents of the Jenin area in the northern West Bank. The pair was taken to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency.

The third suspect, the father, left the car about 200 meters from where the other two jumped out, the senior officer said, as it continued to roll while on fire. He managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
as the soldiers arrested the pair.

According to the officer, the father, in his 50s, is married to an Israeli woman from the Galilee town of Jadeidi-Makr, and therefore has Israeli citizenship. However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
the military believes the suspected button men spend most of their time in the Jenin and Jericho areas.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
YPJ rescues Yazidi woman from ISIS in al-Hol
[Rudaw] A Yazidi woman held in captivity by 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) group was rescued on Saturday by fighters of the Kurdish Women's Protection Units (YPJ) from the notorious al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava) amid an ongoing security operation.

Internal security forces (Asayish), in cooperation with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the global coalition, launched an anti-ISIS operation in al-Hol camp in late August that sought to remove suspected cells of the terror group from the infamous facility.

The Yazidi woman is from the village of Kocho in the Yazidi heartland of Shingal across the Iraqi border. She was kidnapped by ISIS during their brazen offensive across northern Iraq in 2014, when the terror group seized Shingal and inflicted countless atrocities on the Yazidi minority, according to the SDF.

"ISIS members took us first to djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, and then we were transferred to Raqqa where we had been repeatedly raped, enslaved, and sold out in slave markets," the woman told an SDF-affiliated outlet, describing the horrors she and her deaf sister experienced while being sold to different ISIS fighters. It is unclear how long she was held in al-Hol camp.

ISIS overran the Yazidi heartland of Shingal during their conquest of parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014, committing genocide against the ethnoreligious group. More than 6 thousand Yazidis were kidnapped and thousands remain missing with little done to bring solace to the rescued.

The majority of captives are held in the notorious al-Hol camp, according to data obtained by Rudaw English from Khayri Bozani, former head of the Yazidi affairs at the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) endowment ministry.
