[Al Jazeera] Nigerian police have enjugged Please don't kill me! eight members of the gangBoko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... who were involved in the 2014 abduction of more than 276 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok, an official said.
The men "confessed to having participated actively in the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls," police commissioner Damian Chukwu told journalists on Wednesday in the northern town of Maiduguri, once a Boko Haram stronghold.
The eight men were among a group of 22 fighters arrested within the past two weeks, according to Chukwu.
One of the men, aged 23, "confessed to being one of the Boko Haram commanders who coordinated and led the kidnapping" of the Chibok girls, Chukwu added.
Police said those arrested also admitted to organising more than 50 suicide kabooms.
The kidnapping of the Chibok girls captured the world's attention, with celebrities and prominent personalities such as former US first lady Michelle Obama joining a "Bring Back Our Girls" campaign to free them.

[Al Jazeera] Senegal's criminal court sentenced 13 people to prison for attempting to establish a homegrown cell modelled after Boko Haram in the West Africa country.
One of those jailed by the Dakar court on Thursday was Makhtar Diokhane, described as the ringleader of the group. He was handed a 20-year prison term.
"The court was very heavy-handed in sentencing our client and we are going to appeal," Diokane's lawyer Alassane Cisse told Reuters news agency.
Fourteen people, including two of Diokhane's wives, were acquitted.
About 30 Senegalese were put on trial in April for their suspected involvement in the cell after some spent time in Nigeria with the armed group Boko Haram.
Attacks involving Boko Haram have displaced more than 1.8 million Nigerians in the country's predominantly agricultural northeast over the last 10 years. An estimated 20,000 people have been killed.
Moving west?
Twenty-nine other suspects, three of them women, were accused of criminal conspiracy related to financing an armed group, money-laundering, and acts of terrorism.
The public prosecutor had requested life sentences for 11 of the accused, and a 30-year prison term for Alioune Ndao - a popular imam from the town of Kaolack in central Senegal - who was accused of acting as a coordinator. He received a suspended one-month sentence.
Most were arrested in 2015 in Senegal. Prosecutors said was their plan was to foment violence in neighbouring countries as well.
Senegal has so far escaped the al-Qaeda-linked insurgency that has destabilised neighbouring Mali along with attacks on other West African nations including Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast.
But Dakar has stepped up security outside hotels and publics buildings.

[PRESSTV] Yemeni army forces, supported by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have fired a domestically-designed and -developed ballistic missile at a strategic economic target in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s southwestern border region of Jizan in retaliation for the Riyadh regime’s devastating military aggression against their impoverished country.
A Yemeni military source, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , said the short-range Badr-1 missile struck Jizan Airport, also known as King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Airport, with great precision on Thursday afternoon, Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.
The development came only a day after Yemeni forces attacked an oil refinery of the Saudi Arabian national petroleum and natural gas company, Aramco, in the kingdom’s capital Riyadh using a long-endurance Sammad-2 (Invincible-2) unmanned aerial vehicle.

[AnNahar] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... on Wednesday intercepted a missile fired from rebel-held territory in neighbouring Yemen, where a Riyadh-led coalition is fighting the holy warriors, state media said.
The ballistic missile was fired from the northern Yemeni province of Saada towards the southern Saudi city of Najran a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. It is the capital of Najran Province and a favored target of Houthirocket forces.... , but no casualties were reported, said a coalition statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency.
The Iran-backed Huthis have ramped up missile attacks against Saudi Arabia in recent months, which Riyadh usually says it intercepts.
Wednesday's attack brings the tally to 162 rebel missiles launched since 2015, according to the coalition, which that year joined the Yemeni government's fight against Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis.
In 2014, the Huthis overran the Yemeni capital and seized control of much of northern Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... as well as a string of ports on the Red Sea.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and their allies intervened in the conflict the following March, aiming to push back the Huthis and restore the internationally recognised government to power.
Riyadh accuses its regional rival Tehran of supplying the Huthis with ballistic missiles, a charge Iran denies.
Nearly 10,000 people have been killed in the Yemen conflict since the 2015 intervention, 2,200 of them children. The war has pushed the long-impoverished country to the brink of famine.

The bus driver, who was also attacked, slammed the brakes on so terrified passengers could flee
A nearby police car reached the scene quickly and the police quickly overpowered the attacker
The politicians may still have their so-clever little ideas, but recent responses like this suggest that in England and Europe the common folk have determined to be less a herd and more a pack.
Now we place our bets, ladies and gentleman: a thirtyish Iranian gentleman with a knife and smouldering backpack — known wolf “asylum seeker” whose last appeal has been denied, or merely insane and in need of medication? A single attacker carrying a kitchen knife and a semi-working bomb is clearly not a trained agent of Iran or one of its proxies.
[DAWN] LANDI KOTAL: Customs authorities seized large quantity of arms from a truck at Torkham border here on Wednesday.
Officials said that a truck carrying fresh vegetables and steel scrap had arrived at the border point from Afghanistan on Monday (July 16) and was parked at the customs terminal for customs clearance.
The customs staff during examination spotted some arms packed in gunny bags concealed in hidden cavities of the vehicle. Officials said that upon opening of the bags, they found 305 repeater guns which they immediately seized.
Driver of the vehicle managed to escape while his assistant was taken into custody and the vehicle was also impounded.

" repeater guns". Now there's an expression I haven't heard since Saturday morning horse operas in the '50s.
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) A security personnel were maimed in a kaboom in northern Baghdad, a security source was quoted saying on Thursday.
Speaking to Alghad Press, the source said, "a bomb, placed on the side of the road in Tarmiyah region in Baghdad, went off targeting a vehicle with a conscript on board."
The security personnel, according to the source, "was seriously maimed."
Baghdad has recently seen significant security stability, however, some kabooms take place in sporadic regions across the capital every now and then.
Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) Thirteen myrmidons, who are members of a terrorist cell that infiltrated into Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... have been jugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! , a security official from the province said adding that security services are working on following the terrorist in the province.
In remarks to media channels on Thursday, Maj. Gen. Maan al-Saadi said, "troops of the Counter-Terrorism Service, during an operation, managed to arrest a cell composed of 13 bully boyz who had sneaked into Kirkuk. After the arrests, terrorist attacks were carried out last night. We have the photo of one of the perpetrators and will arrest him."
Intelligence services of CTS and other security services in the province "follow whoever tries to destabilize the security in Kirkuk. The thirteen bully boyz were arrested in accordance with judicial warrants."
In related news, a security source told AlSumaria News that "the arrested are affiliated to Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... and that reaching them would weaken the dormant cells of the group that takes advantage of attacks to affect the security in Kirkuk."

[Ynet] IAF aircrafts launched Friday evening an extensive attack on Hamas terror tunnels across Gaza.
IDF's Spokesperson's unit said an extensive attack is executed in several locations.
"Hamas will be held accountable for this incident as well as for the series of the terror activities it has been executing over the past months," according to the IDF.
"Hamas has chosen to escalate the security situation and will bear the responsibility for its actions," the IDF asserted.

[PRESSTV] Two Paleostinian families have demolished their homes in a village on the outskirts of the Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds, saying they would rather destroy them than face the prospect of Israeli settlers moving in.
Locals said the two families watched as bulldozers demolished their four homes in the Beit Hanina neighborhood on Thursday while friends and neighbors watched on a hillside as dust rose into the air.
Witnesses said that two mechanical diggers smashed through the ceilings, walls and floors of the two buildings for two hours in the area.
Jihad Shawamreh, 50, a taxi driver, said that he built his six-room house in 2000 and that his ex-wife Fawzia, their six children and other relatives lived there until Thursday.
The families argued they had bought the plots in good faith and believed they were the rightful owners.
"I built (my house) with my own hands. It is where I brought up my children. This is where they grew up," Shawamreh said, adding, "We took down the houses for fear of seeing settlers move in and having to see them inside the house."
Shawamreh said the demolition cost $8,200 and that he had turned down offers of money from Israeli settlers to leave the buildings standing.
Shawamreh's neighbor Zeinat Abu Rumeileh, 62, cried as she sat beside the other demolished home in a tent that she said had been provided by the Paleostinian Authority.
"I am not able to watch," she said, weeping into a handkerchief, adding, "I was afraid, of course, but we didn't think that this would happen or even come close to happening."

[AnNahar] Several thousand residents evacuated two pro-regime towns in northern Syria on Thursday, putting an end to one of the longest sieges of the country's seven-year civil war.
Fuaa and Kafraya in Idlib province were the last remaining areas under blockade in Syria and a rare example of pro-government towns surrounded by rebel forces.
The Shiite-majority towns were besieged for three years by rebels and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a jihadist alliance led by Syria's former al-Qaeda affiliate.
Surrounded and bombed by hostile factions, the towns had become a rallying cry for the government and its ally Iran.
A deal was reached Tuesday between regime-backer Russia and rebel-ally The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... to see the residents taken to government-held territory in exchange for the release of prisoners from regime jails.
On Wednesday morning, barricades on the road leading into the towns were removed to let dozens of buses in, AFP's correspondent there said.
Just after midnight, the buses drove out of Fuaa and Kafraya and Thursday morning were at the village of al-Eis, crossing from rebel-controlled territory into regime-held areas in Aleppo province.
Armed HTS fighters stood on the roadside as the convoy of evacuees inched past, with pro-government murderous Moslems and regular civilians sitting solemnly on board and staring ahead.
- 'Entirely empty' -
Some 6,900 civilians and fighters were evacuated and the two towns were now "entirely empty of residents", the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based monitoring group, said Thursday morning.
"As the buses entered regime-held areas, the regime started releasing detainees, as per the deal," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said.
According to HTS sources, the evacuation had been agreed in exchange for the release of 1,500 people from government-run jails.
An HTS source said the group's fighters had entered the towns after the evacuation was complete.
Fuaa and Kafraya came under siege in 2015 as rebels and jihadists overran the surrounding province of Idlib, cutting off access to food and medicine.
Those forces had allowed the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... and the Syrian Arab Red Islamic Thingy to deliver aid to the towns in exchange for similar deliveries to two government-besieged towns near Damascus.
The four towns also saw coordinated evacuation deals.
In April 2017, thousands were bussed out of Fuaa and Kafraya in exchange for parallel evacuations from the towns of Zabadani and Madaya.
But a blast targeting a convoy of evacuees from Fuaa and Kafraya left 150 people dead, most of them civilians and including 72 children.
Some reports have suggested Tuesday's deal also involves an agreement to spare Idlib a military offensive by the regime.
The province borders Turkey to the northwest but is otherwise almost completely surrounded by regime-held territory.
It is home to more than two million people, including Syrian civilians and rebels moved out of other opposition-held territory in surrender deals.
Syria's conflict erupted in March 2011 with protests against Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Terror of Aleppo ... that escalated into a devastating, complex war.
After losing swathes of territory to rebels in the early years of the conflict, Assad's forces have managed to regain much of the country since Russian forces intervened in the regime's favour in 2015. The retaking of second city Aleppo last year marked a major turning point and earlier this year the government retook Eastern Ghouta, the last rebel-held area near the capital Damascus. Both victories followed crushing regime sieges and heavy bombardment.
In recent weeks Russia brokered a deal for rebels to hand over large parts of the southern province of Daraa, considered by many as the birthplace of the anti-Assad revolution. Fighting has continued in the south though, with at least 15 civilians reported killed in air strikes in Daraa province on Wednesday.

[DetroitNews] A Dearborn man believed to be fighting for the Islamic State has been captured in Syria and could face prosecution in the United States.
Ibraheem Musaibli, 28, is believed to be one of only two male Americans captured alive on an Islamic State battlefield. He was taken into custody by coalition-backed forces this month while trying to flee the Middle Euphrates River Valley in northern Syria, according to the New York Times, which first reported his capture.
Musaibli is being held at an undisclosed facility but authorities are planning to bring him to the United States to face criminal charges.
"This is significant because it's one of the first times the Trump administration would use federal courts to prosecute a returning foreign fighter," Seamus Hughes, deputy director of George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, told The News.
An FBI spokesman in Detroit declined to comment Thursday.
Musaibli is identified by the newspaper as a high-school dropout who helped his father operate a perfume shop before marrying, fathering a son and moving to Yemen. He is believed to have traveled to Syria in 2015.
His sister, Fatima Musaibli, who lives in Dearborn with her parents, told The News that FBI agents searched their home eight days ago.
“They took our phones, laptops, my brother’s old passports, a box full of stuff and said they would return it soon, but it’s been more than a week,” Fatima Musaibli told The News.
She said Ibraheem Musaibli traveled to Yemen a few years ago but couldn't recall why he returned other than to be with his wife and young son.
She said they weren’t notified about her brother’s capture until FBI agents arrived on her doorstep and told her and her sons to sit on the living room floor and not move.
“Ibraheem wouldn’t do this," she said. "He’s not violent and not the type to join such a group. We didn’t believe when my brother Abdullah called saying the New York Times was doing a story.
The roots of the FBI investigation were unclear Thursday.
But sealed federal court records in Detroit indicate FBI agents were investigating a man with a similar last name last year.
In January 2017, FBI agents served a search warrant on Facebook information for an account belonging to Abu Abdul Rahman Al-Musibli. The still-active account lists several friends with the last name Musaibli, including one woman in Dearborn.
The next month, in February 2017, the FBI received 820 pages of information from the man's account, according to a copy of the search warrant return obtained by The News. The document was briefly unsealed last year and obtained by The News before a judge resealed the file.
The man's Facebook account says Al-Musibli lives in Al Bayda in central Yemen, and features one photo of fighters marching on a battlefield with weapons.
Musaibli sent text messages to relatives after leaving Yemen confirming that he was joining the Islamic State, the Times reported, citing two unnamed officials familiar with the investigation.
Musaibli eventually became disillusioned after arriving in Syria, however, and his family tried to negotiate a way out with the FBI, according to the newspaper.
The FBI offered to return Musaibli to the United States if he surrendered. He refused, and negotiations stalled, the newspaper reported.

Summary execution for all ISIS members.
Or they can choose to listen to Hillary speeches 24/7.
[Al Jazeera] Syrian rebels have reached an agreement with government forces to leave the strategic area of Quneitra along the border with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Syria's official SANA news agency reported.
Citing reports, SANA said the agreement "stipulates the departure to Idlib of Death Eaters who reject the settlement", and allow those who wish to remain to "settle" their status with the authorities, meaning accepting a return of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators... 's rule.
In recent days, government forces regained control of strategic parts of Quneitra, leaving only a few pockets of the province under rebel control.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) confirmed the report, adding that "the deal provides for a ceasefire, the handover of heavy and medium weapons and the return of government institutions in the area."
Rooters news agency said it obtained a document of what a rebel source purports to be the final agreement - which includes a provision for Russian military police to accompany two Syrian army brigades into a demilitarised zone agreed upon with Israel in 1973 along the occupied Golan Heights.
Israel had earlier raised alarms that the Syrian government would allow the presence of Iranian troops along its frontiers.
US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... announced earlier in the week after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... that Washington and Moscow had agreed to coordinate efforts in order to ensure Israel's security.
Putin, the Syrian government's key ally in the nearly eight-year war, cited the need to restore the situation along the Golan borders to the state that prevailed before the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011.
On Tuesday, troops loyal to Bashir al-Assad launched an intense bombing campaign on the densely populated southern town of Nawa, killing at least 14 people and wounding more than 100, according to activists and rescuers.
