Afghanistan
IEC Official Survives Suicide Attack in Kabul
[ToloNews] Sources said a suicide kaboomer blew up himself in PD8 of Kabul city in front of the house of Yalda Azimi, a provincial commissioner of the Independent Election Commission (IEC). The IEC official survived the attack.

Details to follow.

Kabul Police Deny Clashes in Districts 13,18

[ToloNews] Residents in PD13 and PD18 of the Afghan capital Kabul on Thursday said that they hear shooting and firing in their areas every night including a recent firing episode on Wednesday night in PD13 which sparked strong fear among the people.

Residents said that Wednesday night’s firing was a clash between the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
and the police, but officials in Kabul police department have rejected the report.

But security sources in the area have said that there are threats from the bad boys.

Last week, the Taliban attacked a police checkpoint in PD13 which also left some casualties.

"Every night there is firing, it may be at checkpoints or from armed robbers," said Mohammad Arif Haidari, a resident in PD18.

"The people have no psychological peace, their lives are not safe," said Ghulam Reza Rezayee, a resident of Kabul.

Residents said there are threats in all parts of Kabul.

"It will be good if the grinding of the peace processor moves forward, we all need peace and security," said Mohammad Zekirya, a shopkeeper in PD13.

Police have also increased their presence following recent reports that the bully boyz are trying to disrupt security in PD13 and PD18.

According to Kabul police, most of the threats were related to the armed robbers.

"The Taliban have no ability to maintain their presence in the suburbs of the city, the physical presence of this group is not on a permanent basis anywhere, they are always on the run from one place to another," said Tariq Aryan, a front man for the Ministry of Interior.

Africa Horn
Hundreds demonstrate in Khartoum against Hamdok government
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Hundreds of people demonstrated in the capital, Khartoum, on Wednesday, to protest the deteriorating economic conditions and rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud calling for the removal of Hamdok government.A year of its formation, the Sudanese government did not succeed to put an end to the economic crisis facing the country due to the lack of resource and corruption.

Further, inflation continued to rise as the Sudanese pound fell to a record low of 260 to the dollar. Also, the Sudanese continue in large number to queue at bakeries and petrol stations.

The protesters raised large banners reading they are taking Hamdok’s government "to its final resting place", and rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud denouncing the economic conditions in the country.

Eyewitnesses told the Sudan Tribune that the police fired tear gas to disperse the protesters who were on their way to the Council of Ministers building.

For its part, the Sudanese Traffic Police called, in a statement seen by "Sudan Tribune", vehicle drivers to avoid main streets in central Khartoum and to take alternative routes.

Sudanese Islamists are accused of seeking to destabilize Hamdok’s government due to its unsuccessful efforts to deal with the economic crisis. Also, Khartoum is still struggling to convince Washington to remove the country from the terror list.

The vice governor of the central bank confessed that the government borrows money from the bank to pay salaries and other public expenditures.

One Killed, Several Wounded In Somalia Suicide Bombing
[RADIOSHABELLE] At least one person was reportedly killed and several maimed on Thursday morning after a suicide kaboom in the capital, Mogadishu.

Witnesses say a female bomber targeted plainclothes police personnel at the Black Sea junction early in the morning, killing their commander.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which comes amid tight security measures in the city.

Al-Shabaab Claims Bomb Attack In Mogadishu
[RADIOSHABELLE] Al-Shabaab
...... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa...
has claimed credit for a kaboom carried out by an exploding trollop female suicide bomber
in Mogadishu on Thursday morning.

In a statement, al-Shabaab said the blast left a senior spy boss and two of his security guards dead, a claim that neither denied nor confirmed by the Somali government.

The explosion took place in the Black Sea area and was targeted undercover agents at a security checkpoint, according to sources.

The attack comes as police step up security measures in the city which sees a decrease in blasts by al-Shabaab in recent months. Fred

Iraq
Pro-Iran faction fired rockets at US forces in Iraqi Kurdistan: Kurdish authorities
Follow up to this from yesterday.
[AlAhram] Six rockets were fired from Nineveh province by the Hashed al-Shaabi, targeting Arbil airport

The counter-terrorism division of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region on Wednesday accused the Hashed al-Shaabi, a state-sponsored paramilitary network dominated by pro-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...
forces, of targeting US forces in a rocket attack.
"Six rockets were fired from Nineveh province by the Hashed al-Shaabi, targeting Arbil airport," where US troops are based, on Wednesday, it said in a statement.

Souran Ali, a commander of the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
of Iranian Kurdistan (PDK-I) -- an Iranian opposition group that operates in Iraq's Kurdish region -- earlier said three rockets had been fired, without causing casualties.

Three rockets "targeted at 8.30pm (1730 GMT) a headquarters of the PDK-I two kilometres" from Arbil airport, he said.

Video footage circulating online purported to show fires started by the rockets.

Hoshyar Zebari, a former Iraqi foreign minister and an Iraqi Kurdish politician, said on Twitter that the rockets were fired by the "same groups who are attacking #USEmbassy in #Baghdad and its convoys. Action is needed to stop it."

Around 40 rocket attacks have targeted US interests in Iraq since early August, including one on Monday that hit a village close to Baghdad airport, where American troops are stationed. That attack killed five children and two women from the same family.

The US State Department on Tuesday pointed the finger of blame at Iran-backed militias operating in Iraq, saying they "pose an unacceptable danger" in Iraq.

Washington has threatened to close its embassy in Iraq and withdraw its 3,000 troops from the country unless the rockets stop.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
IED explosion targets gas line in Al-Shaddadi city
[SYRIAHR] Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: SOHR activists have reported hearing a loud explosion nearby al-Shaddadi city in the south of al-Hasakah province. The explosion was caused by the detonation of an IED, planted earlier by unknown individuals, in the gas line between linking between the gas plant in al-Shaddadi city and Markada city. The explosion caused large fires and considerable material damage, but no casualties have been reported.

On September 28, SOHR sources said that one person was injured seriously in the earth-shattering kaboom of a grenade thrown by an unknown assailant on a cycle of violence near the Assyrian church roundabout in the SDF-held city of al-Hasakah.

While on September 24, Observatory activists documented the death of a young man, after being shot by an armed gang, as they were trying to loot his house in the village of Abu Doyle in al-Qamishli countryside.

Meanwhile,
