Afghanistan
The Taliban tracked down and killed 4 Afghan counterterrorism agents, in one case pulling out all their fingernails, report says
[INSIDER] Elite Taliban death squads have tracked down and killed at least four Afghan counterterrorism agents since August 22, The Sunday Times reported.

The men were members of two units working out of the National Directorate of Security (NDS) and had been trained by British and US forces, the newspaper said.

A brother of one of those killed told The Sunday Times the Taliban came for his brother at their home outside Kabul in August.

"My brother was shot three times in the head and once in the chest and I was shot twice in the left shoulder and arm," the man said, per the newspaper. "I don't know how I survived."

Another of the four men killed had all his fingernails pulled out before he was shot, The Sunday Times said.

A senior manager working at the headquarters of the NDS told The Sunday Times that the Taliban took possession of laptops and paperwork from the headquarters after taking Kabul on August 15.

Female doctor in Kandahar claims to be beaten by Taliban
[KhaamaPress] A female doctor in Kandahar province claimed that her home was stormed by the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
fighters and was beaten along with her family members and a neighbor.

Doctor Fahima Rahmati who is also a civil activist in a video clip said that the Taliban fighters have also taken her mobile phones while their raid on her home on Sunday night, September 11.

Rahmati said that she was neither a former government official nor had a weapon in her home but the Taliban fighters wanted to take with themselves her brothers.

Provincial officials in Kandahar province said that they are not aware of the raid and will investigate the case and bring to justice the culprits.

Fahima Rahmati is a local doctor and is running a charity foundation in Kandhar province and helping poor families.

"Two of my brothers are still missing, I hope the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will hear my voice, my two brothers, my brother-in-law and two brothers-in-law of my sister are still missing, where are they and with whom are they?" says Fahima in a video clip.
Fahima Rahmati, a civil society activist and the head of a charity in southern Kandahar province, claimed on Sunday that an "armed group related to the Taliban," had entered her house and beat some of her family members last night.

Miss Rahmati, who leads a charity naming Heela, (wish) said she has received death threats and her family has also been threatened.

She added that she has never worked with the government before. “Is this their general amnesty--that the Taliban are coming to my house, and beating my family members? Is governance like this?”

A man also claimed that his wife was recently killed in a Taliban shooting in Kabul. Her husband, Abdul Khaleq said: “Is this in Islam? Can someone, in Islam, kill a woman who is outside her house?”

This comes as the Taliban Head of State, Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, in an audio message asked the Taliban to not offend the people.

Money transference should only be carried out in local currency: Afghan central bank
Tightening the screws.
[KhaamaPress] The central bank of Afghanistan-De Afghanistan Bank- in a new directive said that those who transfer money to Afghanistan should be conducted in local currency-Afghani- only.

The bank sources have told Rooters that based on the directive, all the private banks are prohibited to receive money by any other currency including dollars.

It is worth mentioning that, those who have transferred dollars prior to the directive can receive dollars.

Rooters citing the sources said that the decision has been taken so that the central bank can save enough amount of US dollars which has been less currently.

Based on the new directive, if people transfer money in any other currency, the receiver will merely be given the local currency in Afghanistan.

In the meantime, Western Union has reportedly stopped its operation in Afghanistan but Money Gram is still operational.

Banking services in Afghanistan has become one of the toughest tasks in Afghanistan as people are limited to $200 per week only.

Hundreds of people are still being seen queuing at the gates of banks so that they withdraw money.

45 German families flown out of Kabul Airport
[KhaamaPress] Foreign ministry of Germany has said that Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...

U.N. staff in Afghanistan dealing with threats and harassment, fear for their lives
[JustTheNews] There are still people thinking that this might be a kinder and gentler Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...


United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
employees in Afghanistan are suffering "harassment and intimidation" from the Taliban since their surprisingly swift rise to power in Afghanistan last month.
"All of the good restaurants are closed" she huffed...
"We are, however, increasingly worried by the growing number of incidents of harassment and intimidation against our national staff," said Deborah Lyons, the U.N. special envoy to Afghanistan, in a Sept. 9 news release.

"We will continue to do everything possible to support our staff and keep them from harm's way," she added. "The U.N. cannot conduct its work—work that is so essential to the Afghan people—if its personnel are subjected to intimidation, fear for their lives, and cannot move freely."

An internal U.N. security document obtained by Rooters on Aug. 25, according to The Epoch Times, described numerous incidents of physical and psychological abuse from five days before the Taliban took power.

Genocide In The Panjshir Valley – The Taliban Begins To Round-Up All Males 12 And Over
[AND] This is a first-hand report from an asset on the ground in the Panjshir Valley in Afghanistan with whom AND Magazine is in contact.

Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
forces in the Panjshir Valley are rounding up all males 12 and over and taking them away. The individuals being taken are not being questioned. There is no indication that any of these individuals will ever return. No camps have been built to hold them. Residents of the valley assume that they will all be killed as part of a "genocidal cleansing."

In the past, the Taliban typically carried out extermination operations of this type in the following manner. They herded the individuals to be killed into empty cargo containers, shot them, and then closed up the containers. The containers were then buried. This was done to avoid creating large-scale mass graves because the Taliban was conscious that these could be detected remotely via satellite and might lead to international sanctions and pressure.

Residents of the Panjshir Valley believe that the current roundup is being done to entirely strip the area of any males with knowledge of the period of American occupation. It is believed by the Taliban that it is necessary to "cleanse" the area of anyone who might be able to organize resistance to the regime in the future.

No assistance is being provided by the United States to the resistance forces still fighting in the Panjshir Valley. No assistance is being provided to individuals trying to escape from the Taliban and leave Afghanistan.

AND’s source in the Panjshir stated his belief that the United States Government wants anyone who is a witness to the ongoing atrocities to die. "They want us all to die here. We can’t talk if we’re dead. If we make it out everyone will know what happened here."

#7  I’m a bit surprised they haven’t gone and done Roman style decimation of the entire province. Seems that would be more their style.

Rome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jerusalem_(70_CE)#Destruction_of_Jerusalem tends to get cited a lot for stuff like this, but it wasn't specific to Rome (or the Greeks). Read about the sack of Thebes and Persepolis, where all the men were killed. It's basically self-preservation. If you lose, they might do the same to you. The old principle of reciprocity was last used by Uncle Sam in the Philippine-American War:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine%E2%80%93American_War#Atrocities

Note that it ended with American victory. The Taliban's methods aren't pretty, but they've worked since time immemorial. That's why so many extant humans bear DNA from one male line and a completely unrelated female line, geographically speaking. The men were slaughtered, and the women taken as wives.

If we had done what the Taliban are doing today, the movement would have been eliminated inside a year. Millions of mostly Pashtun members of the Taliban and associated supporters would lie in mass graves, but Afghanistan would be at peace, and we wouldn't have wasted $1T and thousands of American lives.

53 Egyptian migrants returned to Egypt from Libya: Foreign ministry
[AlAhram] Some 53 Egyptian young men were returned to Cairo on Sunday from Libya after being arrested by Libyan authorities for attempting to illegally migrate to Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
through the Mediterranean, the Egyptian foreign ministry said in a statement.

According to the ministry, the Egyptian Embassy in 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...
and the Egyptian Diplomatic Mission coordinated with Egyptian authorities to facilitate the return of the illegal migrants colonists via a private aircraft.

The head of the Egyptian Diplomatic Mission in Libya, Tamer Mostafa, expressed his appreciation to the Libyan authorities for presenting all the needed facilities and arrangements to return the young men to Egypt, the foreign ministry added.

Despite the Egyptian government’s extensive efforts to prevent trespassing into Libya, the country is still frequently used as a transit point for migrants colonists from Egypt and other nations seeking to reach European shores.

Egypt shares a more than 1,000-kilometre-long border with Libya.

Egypt and Libya agreed in April to resume flights between the two countries’ capitals, as Cairo seeks to restore normality in its relations with the neighbouring country, especially after the election of an executive authority to guide the country until legislative elections are held by the end of this year.

Notorious Somali Human Trafficker Arrested in Libya
[LIBYAREVIEW] Libyan security forces arrested a notorious Somali human trafficker, Hassan Qidi, who is accused of leading an organized gang working on illegal immigration and human trafficking.The Libyan Public Prosecution accused Qidi of deliberately killing dozens of migrants colonists, trafficking their organs, and sexually assaulting a number of immigrant women.

He was also accused of forcibly detaining migrants colonists and subjecting them to cruel treatment to force their families to pay a ransom for their release.

Libyan Attorney General, al-Siddiq al-Sour, said Libya would provide help to the kidnapped women and hear the testimony of the victims.

Notably, the Director-General of Nigeria’s National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Basheer Garba Muhammed, said that a farm had been identified in Libya where African migrants colonists were allegedly kept in cages like animals.

He claimed that their vital organs such as eyes, kidneys and lungs would thereafter be harvested and sold in the black market to service the medical needs of Europe, according to the International Centre for Investigative Reporting in Nigeria (ICIR).

Libya has been suffering insecurity and chaos since the fall of long-time leader Muammar Qadaffy
...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest...
in 2011, making the North African country the preferred point of departure for migrants colonists wishing to cross the Mediterranean to Europe.

According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), more than 22,000 migrants colonists, including women and kiddies, have been rescued this year. Hundreds of others have died or gone missing off the Libyan coast on the central Mediterranean route.

Europe
Somali man arrested in stabbing of five people at Italian resort
[THEHILL] Italian authorities arrested a Somalian man in connection with stabbing five people at a resort, Rooters reported.

According to Italian media, the unidentified suspect maimed ticket controllers on a bus, escaped, and maimed two other women including a six-year-old child in the tourist town of Rimini

The suspect, 26, has been living in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
since 2010 while applying for refugee status in various countries such as Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, according to the ANSA news agency.

In a statement, Italia’s Interior minister Luciana Lamorgese called the reported incident "extremely serious," adding that she would attend a security meeting in Rimini on Monday, according to Rooters.

The incident led to far-right League party leader Matteo Salvini to criticize Lamorgese’s comments, adding that he’s been pressing the foreign minister to adopt stricter immigration policies in the region.
The Times of Israel adds:
Investigators are ruling out terrorism as a motive and hypothesize that the 26-year-old man was under the influence of drugs during the knife attack Saturday night, according to reports on Italia’s state broadcaster RAI.

The man, who apparently didn’t have a bus ticket, slashed the controllers who had asked to see his ticket, leaving the two women maimed, news reports said. When the bus driver opened the door, the attacker fled. As police gave chase, the man allegedly slashed three more persons along his path. They included a 6-year-old boy who was sitting with his mother in a local outdoor market.

The boy was at death's door on Sunday after surgery for his wounds, including on his neck.

Police arrested the man after catching up with him on a side street flanking a hotel.

Cop injured in Khanyar militant attack succumbs
[GREATERKASHMIR] A Probational Sub- Inspector, who was injured in a krazed killer attack in Khanyar area in downtown Srinagar on Sunday afternoon, succumbed to the injuries at SKIMS Soura, officials said.

Quoting a police official, news agency GNS reported that the SI identified as Arshid Ahmad, a resident of Kulmuna area in north 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....
's Kupwara district was removed to the tertiary care hospital soon after he sustained three bullet wounds after faceless myrmidons fires upon a police party in the area.

Medical Superintendent at SKIMS Soura, Dr Farooq Jan also confirmed to GNS about the death of the SI, who was being operated at the tertiary hospital.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Fugitives begged for ride from Arab town to West Bank, but were denied
[IsraelTimes] Searches now focused on Jezreel Valley and Jenin, with officials said concerned that West Bank raid would complicate efforts to capture them alive, possibly provoke escalation

After breaking out of the maximum-security Gilboa prison earlier this week, the six Paleostinian runaways headed on foot for the nearby Arab town of Na’ura, some 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) from the jail, where they begged several residents to drive them to the city of Jenin in the West Bank, but were refused, Hebrew media reported Sunday.

Citing details leaked from the Shin Bet interrogation of the four escapees who have been recaptured, particularly from notorious terror commander Zakaria Zubeidi, the reports detailed the runaways’ first actions in the first hours after the escape.

Israel says it intercepts rocket launched from Gaza, then another as IDF hits Hamas targets
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Paleostinian snuffies launched a rocket into Israel from 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 on Sunday night, the Israeli military said, adding that the rocket was intercepted.The launch came at a time of heightened tensions following an escape by six Paleostinian snuffies from an Israeli prison last week and lingering hostilities from an 11-day war last May.

Israel over the weekend captured four of the six escaped prisoners and stepped up its search for the two remaining runaways.

The tensions have been worsened by ongoing difficulties in reaching a long-term cease-fire between Israel and Hamas following the war in May.

Egypt has been trying to broker an agreement. Hamas has demanded that Israel lift a painful economic blockade of Gaza, while Israel wants Hamas to release two Israeli civilians and return the remains of two dead Israeli soldiers it is holding.

Israel and Hamas have also not been able to agree upon a system for allowing Qatar

Israel says it is seeking guarantees that Hamas does not divert any of the funds for military use.

The second rocket came as Israel Defense Forces were attacking Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, targets in the Gaza Strip, in retaliation for the earlier rocket.

The army said it hit four Hamas compounds used for military training, in addition to a weapons workshop and the entrance to an underground terror tunnel.

The IDF said the strikes were in retaliation for the rocket that was fired earlier on Sunday night, marking the third consecutive night of rocket fire in southern Israel.

Following the second rocket, the airforce hit several more Hamas targets, including a heavy machine that tried to down the aircraft, the army said.

His is not a face familiar..., but members of the rampaging Iranian mob which last week laid siege to the British Embassy in Tehran knew what they were doing when they held aloft a picture of a grey-haired man, with downturned mouth and beard more trimmed than those of his country's religious leaders. Qassem Suleimani, a fanatical Islamic revolutionary, has rapidly become one of the world's top terrorist suspects, as well as a powerful and sinister force within Iran. The crowd of enraged student protesters who chanted "Death to Britain" as they terrorised a beleaguered group of British diplomats, know him as the head of Iran's feared Quds Force, the 15,000-strong paramilitary wing of Iran's Revolutionary Guards - and a primary suspect for organising the assault on the embassy. There were frightening moments ...,when it appeared that a rerunof the American embassy siege in 1979, when 50 American diplomatic staff were held hostage for 444 days. If so, it would have been a triumph for Suleimani, who would have made common cause with the hardliners of 1979 who opposed the deal which eventually led to the release of the Americans. ...

After months of interruption, water arrives in Syria's Tel Tamr
[NPASYRIA] An official in the Water Department in the town of Tel Tamr, northeast Syria, said on Sunday that water from Alouk Station has finally reached the town after about a month of cutoff by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and Ottoman Turkish-backed armed Syrian opposition factions.
On August 12, Ottoman Turkish forces cut off the water from Alouk Station in the countryside of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) after escalating their attacks on the areas of Tel Tamr, Abu Rasin, and Ain Issa in northeastern Syria.

Khalid Alo, an administrator in the Tel Tamr Water Department, told North Press that the station returned to work on Saturday evening, after it was supplied with electricity from Derbasiya substation.

"Currently, nine out of 30 wells have been operated, in addition to two out of eight pumps," Alo said, noting that the power level of the pumping is "good."

According to the Water Department, maintenance workshops are still working on repairing the damage within the station due to the major violations by Ottoman Turkish-backed armed factions, in addition to lifting the load on the electricity lines connecting the city of Derbasiya and Alouk Station since the armed factions are providing farmers with electricity in return for bribes.

According to informed sources, the re-operation of Alouk station came under Russian-brokered agreements with Turkey, during which Alouk Station will be supplied with seven megawatts of electricity 24 hours a day, in addition to the Mabrouka station which will be supplied with 15 megawatts 15 hours per day.

Ottoman Turkish forces and their affiliated armed factions have shut down Alouk Station many times since their invasion and occupation of Sere Kaniye in October 2019. The station is the main source of drinking water for nearly one million people in the towns of Tel Tamr, Hasakah, Shaddadi, Hawl, and rural areas and camps affiliated with these towns.

Iraqi Shia militia group denies ceasefire agreement with government on anti-US ops
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iraq’s Master of Martyrs Battalions, or Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada' (KSS) group, has denied it has reached any ceasefire or agreement with the Iraqi government about stopping operations against US forces, according to a Rudaw TV report.Earlier in July, the commander of the Iranian-backed Iraqi militia group has promised the US with a "retaliatory response" to the killing of four of his hard boyz in US attacks last June.

Washington launched air strikes targeting what the Pentagon described as "facilities for Iranian-backed Iraqi militias" on the Syrian-Iraqi border on June 27.

"We want a process worthy of these deaders. Even if it comes late, the time is not important," Abu Alaa al-Wali said in an interview with the News Agency that Dare Not be Named at the time.

"We want it to be a process in which everyone says they have taken Dire Revenge on the Americans. It will be a qualitative process (that can come) from the air, the sea, along the borders of Iraq, in the region or anywhere. It is an open war," he said.

Uneasy calm in Syria's Daraa after army-rebel ceasefire
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] An uneasy calm held sway in a southern Syrian city Sunday after the army entered a former rebel holdout under a surrender deal, AFP journalists on a government-organized tour said.

Daraa province and its capital of the same name, the cradle of Syria’s uprising, returned to government control in 2018 under a previous ceasefire backed by government ally Russia.

But rebels stayed on in a southern part of the city called Daraa al-Balad, and over the summer they clashed with government forces on its outskirts seeking to retake the area.

A new Moscow-brokered truce has seen dozens of opposition fighters bused out of the city over the past few weeks and government forces return to the area since Wednesday.

Inside Daraa al-Balad on Sunday, AFP correspondents saw bulldozers clearing away rubble between battle-scarred buildings.

Syrian and Russian flags flew in several places.

The guns had fallen silent but the areas visited were largely devoid of civilians, and several onlookers on cycle of violences refused to speak to the media.

"Nine checkpoints have been set up on the edges of and inside Daraa al-Balad," a military source told AFP.

Government forces enter another town in south Syria's Daraa

[NPASYRIA] On Sunday, notables of a town in the western countryside of Daraa, south Syria, and the security committee of the government forces reached an agreement sponsored by Russia for the entry of the government forces and new settlements.

"A military force, accompanied by the Russian Military Police, will enter the town tomorrow morning and it will search a number of houses in the town," an informed local source in the town of al-Yadouda told North Press.

"The agreement provides for the settlement of dozens of the wanted people by the government forces and their dissidents from al-Yadouda resident," the source added.

On September 5, the Central Committee in Daraa and the government security committee, accompanied by the Russian guarantor, began implementing the terms of the agreement that includes handing over light and medium weapons.

During the past two months, neighborhoods of Daraa al-Balad, Tariq al-Sadd, and the camps have witnessed shelling by the government forces and Iranian-backed factions before reaching a Russian-sponsored ceasefire agreement.

...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
’s defense ministry said.

Officials said a unit had been attacked as it returned from a patrol, with an AFP news hound at the scene reporting that a kaboom had killed the soldiers on a road near the city of Idlib.

After initially announcing two soldiers had died and three others were "seriously injured," the ministry said later on Saturday that one of the maimed soldiers died in hospital in southern Turkey.
