[KhaamaPress] The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces have thwarted a plot by the anti-government armed murderous Moslems to carry out a suicide kaboom using a Vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device.
The provincial government in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. said in a statement that a vehicle packed with explosives was discovered before the murderous Moslems manage to use it for an attack.
The statement further added that the vehicle was discovered from Momandara district and exploded without causing harm to anyone.
According to the provincial government, the murderous Moslems were looking to use the boom-mobile in attack in Ghani Khel district.
The anti-government armed turban groups including Talibs have not commented regarding the report so far.
Nangarhar has been among the relatively calm provinces since the fall of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... regime in 2001 but the anti-government armed murderous Moslems have been attempting to expand their foothold in this province during the recent years.
However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... the Afghan armed forces are busy conducting counter-terrorism operations to suppress the turban groups.
[KhaamaPress] The soldiers of the Afghan Border Forces suffered casualties during the festivities with the bully boyz close to Durand Line in southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan.
The provincial government media office in a statement said Thursday that a group of bully boyz launched coordinated attack on security posts of the border forces in Spin Boldak, near the Durand Line, late on Wednesday night.
The statement further added that the attack was launched on security posts in Saro Sagan area at around 10pm local time which lasted until 4am on Thursday.
According to the provincial government, the Afghan forces responded to the attack of the murderous Moslems, leaving at least 7 of them dead and 9 others maimed.
At least two Afghan border police forces also bit the dust during the festivities and five others sustained injuries, the statement added.
The anti-government armed murderous Moslem groups including Talibs have not commented regarding the report so far.
In the meantime, the provincial government says the anti-government armed bully boyz often use their safe havens on the other side of the Durand Line and carry out attacks on the security posts along the Line.
[Guardian] Colleagues said army dog handler Liam Tasker was inseparable from his spaniel, Theo, and so it was to the end. When Lance Corporal Tasker was shot dead in southern Afghanistan, his dog survived the shooting only to suffer a fatal heart attack when it returned to the British base at Camp Bastion.
Tasker, 26, was on patrol north of Nahr-e-Saraj in Helmand province on Tuesday with the spaniel, which was trained to search for arms and explosives, when they were caught in gunfire. He died from his injuries.
He was described as having a "natural empathy with dogs". His successful operations "undoubtedly saved many lives", the Ministry of Defence said. The army has about 400 dogs trained to sniff out explosives and weapons but the ministry declined to say how many were deployed in Afghanistan.
[DAWN] Fourteen non-combatants were killed in an kaboom in northern Afghanistan although it isn’t immediately clear whether the deaths were caused by a ground assault or an air strike.
Nematullah Temory, the provincial governor’s front man, said the kaboom occurred on Thursday in the Charhar Dara district of Kunduz and women and kiddies were among the dead.
The Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... in a statement to news outlets said 27 people were killed in the area on Thursday and front man Zabihullah Mujahid blamed the dead on US air strikes.
The US did carry out air strikes in the area "in support of Afghan-led ground operations," according to NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... front man Lt. Colonel Martin O’Donnell.
"On-the-ground assessment of those strikes reveals no indications they caused civilian casualties," he said in an e-mail.

[AlAhram] Somalia's Islamist myrmidon group al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... has captured a small but strategic town 100 km (60 miles) south of Bosaso city in the semi-autonomous Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... region, a military officer, al-Shabaab and residents said on Friday.
Residents in Af Urur told Rooters that the town is now controlled by al-Shabaab.
"When we woke up this morning, we saw many al-Shabaab fighters controlling the town. The (Puntland military) forces had left yesterday," Ahmed Nur told Rooters from Af Urur by phone on Friday.
Al-Shabaab wants to topple Somalia’s Western-backed central government, expel the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... -mandated peace keeping force AMISOM and establish a government based on its own strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.
Af Urur's position is important because the main road that links the cities of Garowe, Bosaso and Mogadishu passes nearby.
Puntland forces and al-Shabaab have fought in the town, which has ditch defences, several times in the past.
Mohammed Abdi, a Puntland military officer, told Rooters al-Shabaab had taken Af Urur town by Friday morning, adding without elaborating that only a few Puntland military forces had been in the town on Thursday evening.
"We were supposed to be replaced by other forces," Abdi said. "We shall recapture the town from al-Shabaab."
Al-Shabaab confirmed that they had control of the town.
"Puntland forces bravely ran away as we advanced to the town because they know we had taught them tough lessons before," Abdiasis Abu Musab, al-Shabaab’s military operations front man, told Rooters on Friday. "We now peacefully control Af Urur town."
Somalia has been gripped by violence and lawlessness since the toppling of dictator Mohammed Siad Barre in the early 1990s.

When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... -led coalition, in the outskirts and within the city.
A convoy of military vehicles was seen thundering along desert roads, while trucks carrying holy warriors made their way through residential areas. According to reports, the YNA is making advances in several strategic areas in the battle for the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.
Supported by Saudi-led coalition air support, YNA forces reportedly also made gains against Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... forces in the fronts of Hajjah, Taiz and South Hodeidah.

[PJ] British counterterrorism police said today that a terror plot to assassinate Prime Minister Theresa May was tripped up after the would-be jihadist inadvertently contacted an "online role player working with the FBI" last September.
The FBI "in-turn introduced him to online role-players from MI5 and Counter Terrorism Policing," said British officials.
Naa’imur Zakariyah Rahman, 20, of London was found guilty Wednesday of plotting to set a bomb off at 10 Downing Street and then try to behead May in the ensuing confusion.
Rahman, a Briton of Bangladeshi origin with family in London and Birmingham, was unemployed and living at home with his mom. He reportedly told an intelligence officer posing as an ISIS leader that he was sometimes having trouble sneaking out of the house without arousing his mom's suspicion.
Dean Haydon, the UK's senior national coordinator for counterterrorism, in a statement today called Rahman "an extremely dangerous and determined individual."
Filed under Moslem Colonists on the assumption the perp is named neither Fritz nor Helga. [DAWN] At least eight people were maimed in an assault by a man wielding a knife on a bus in northern Germany, police and witnesses said on Friday.
The packed bus was heading in the direction of Travemuende, a popular beach close to the city of Luebeck, when a man pulled a weapon on passengers, local media Luebecker Nachrichten reported, quoting an unnamed witness.
The bus driver immediately stopped the vehicle, allowing passengers to escape, the daily said on its website.
"The passengers jumped out of the bus and were screaming. It was terrible. Then the injured were brought out. The perpetrator had a kitchen knife," a witness who lives close to the scene, Lothar H., told the daily.
A police car which happened to be close by was able to get to the scene quickly, allowing officers to detain the perpetrator, added the report.
Police quoted by national news agency DPA said there were no fatalities, and did not give a motive for the assault.
According to Luebecker Nachrichten, the attacker is an Iranian man in his mid-30s.
While neither the motive nor full identity of the perpetrator have been established, Germany has been on high alert after several deadly Islamist bad boy attacks.
Witnesses told the paper that when the assailant took out his weapon, the driver stopped the bus and was then struck by the suspect. The passengers then reportedly restrained him.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the suspect's motive, but police have said that "there is no evidence of political radicalization" and no reason to believe the attack had a "terrorist background."
Police clarified that the suspect is a 34-year-old German citizen who was born in Iran but had lived in Germany for a long time. As of Friday evening, he had not confessed to any wrongdoing. State prosecutors said they are working quickly to bring charges of attempted arson and grevious bodily harm.

[DAWN] Social activist Raza Mahmood Khan, who had been missing for the past seven months, has returned home, DawnNewsTV reported on Friday citing police officials.
Raza, a convener of Aghaz-i-Dosti — a friendship initiative between the youth of India and Pakistan — was reportedly picked up by men in plain clothes from his Model Colony residence on December 2, 2017.
Activists belonging to various rights groups, along with friends and family, had since been agitating for Raza's release. They had condemned the ‘enforced disappearance’ of activists and attempts to silence and harass those speaking up for peace and human rights.
Mohammad Imran, SP Investigation Model Town, confirmed on Friday that Punjab police had recovered Raza 10 days ago. He, however, did not disclose further details about where Raza was found.
Raza is in good health, according to the police official, but is refraining from making a statement due to "security concerns".

[AlAhram] A security guard outside a branch of one Iraq's most powerful paramilitary groups shot and killed a protester on Friday while trying to push back a crowd, police sources said, ratcheting up tensions over a lack of basic services sweeping southern cities.
Two people were maimed when demonstrators throwing bricks and stones gathered outside the local headquarters of the Iranian-backed Badr Organisation.
"We received the body of a protester with a bullet wound to the head," said a doctor in a hospital in the city of Diwaniya.
Friday's death brings to four the number of protesters killed in nearly two weeks of demonstrations against corrupt politicians blamed for failing to deliver basic services and jobs to the crumbling oil hub of Basra and other cities.
Dozens of members of the security forces have been injured in the protests, some of which have taken place at the entrance to oilfields. Officials say production has not been affected.
Anger has also been directed at paramilitary groups such as Badr, which is unusual. Badr politicians had a strong showing in the May 12 parliamentary election which was tainted by allegations of fraud.
Thousands protested in southern cities and Baghdad on Friday, calling for the downfall of political parties, as they escalated demonstrations backed by the country's most influential holy mans.
In Basra, crumbling from years of neglect and under-investment, about 3,000 people gathered outside the headquarters of the provincial governorate.
"The people want the downfall of political parties!" they chanted, a slogan similar to one used in the 2011 "Arab Spring" uprisings, as politicians struggled to form a new government.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who is seeking a second term, promised that his Shia-led government would fund electricity and water projects in Basra, where the colour of tap water is often brown because it contains dirt and where garbage is piled up along many streets.
"The promises they make are all lies," said Khaled Hassan, 42, a health worker in Basra. "We will not keep quiet."
On Thursday, Shia Moslemholy manMoqtada Tater al-Sadr ... the Iranian catspaw holy man who was 22 years old in 2003 and was nearing 40 in 2010. He spends most of his time in Iran, safely out of the line of fire, where he's learning to be an ayatollah... , whose bloc finished first in the election, said politicians should suspend efforts to form a coalition until the protesters' demands are met.
Sadr won the election promising to eradicate poverty and corruption and resist interference from Iran.
Sadr, whose snuffies staged uprisings against U.S. forces after the 2003 invasion, has in the past mobilised tens of thousands of people to press his demands.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most powerful holy man in Iraq, has also expressed solidarity with the demonstrators.
Iraq's Shia heartland in the south has long been neglected, first by Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein and then by Shia-dominated governments after him.
"We are demanding the sacking of the governor and removal of all corrupt officials from the province," said Faris Abdel Karim, who helped organise a protest outside the house of the provincial governor in the city of Nasiriya, where police had gun sex, wielded batons and fired tear gas.
About 300 people demonstrated at one of Baghdad's main squares. One held up a poster which read: "The revolution of the poor." Riot police used water cannons to disperse the crowd.

Once Hamas said they couldn't stop the fire kites because the populace would get upset, this was inevitable.
[IsraelTimes] Soldier maimed by sniper fire dies of his wounds; IDF releases information after his family is notified; two dozen Hamas targets hit by air force in ongoing response
Paleostinian snipers shot and killed an IDF soldier on the Gazoo border on Friday, the army said late Friday night, revealing details on the deadly incident that apparently sparked the night’s widespread Israeli strikes on Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, targets across Gazoo.
"Today, an IDF combat soldier was killed during operational activity near the southern Gazoo Strip. During the incident, a terrorist squad shot at IDF troops and the IDF soldier was severely injured. He later succumbed to his wounds," the army said.
Added, from Times of Israel: Israel fires tank shell at Hamas post after suspects infiltrate Gaza border. The IDF fired a tank shell at a Hamas post Saturday morning after several Palestinian suspects attempted to infiltrate the border into Israel in the northern Gaza Strip, the military said.
The suspects returned to the enclave, according to the army. There were no reports of Palestinian casualties. Continued on Page 49
[Rudaw] U.S. officials say the United States is finalizing plans to evacuate several hundred Syrian civil defense workers and their families from southwest Syria as Russian-backed government forces close in on the area.
Two officials familiar with the plans said Thursday that the U.S., Britannia and Canada are spearheading the evacuation that would transport members of the White Helmets group to transit camps in neighboring countries. From there, they will be sent to third countries, including Britannia, Germany, the Netherlands and possibly Canada, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
The officials, and a member of the White Helmets who is due to be evacuated from Quneitra province, said the operation appears to be imminent as the Syrian army continues to gain ground in its latest offensive. The White Helmets, who have enjoyed backing from the U.S. and other Western nations for years, are likely to be targeted by Syrian forces as they retake control of the southwest, according to the officials.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Aerospace Forces launched a massive attack over the southwestern countryside of the Daraa Governorate this morning.
According to a military report from the government stronghold of Izraa, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched more than 20 Arclight airstrikes over southwest Daraa, today, targeting the large pocket belonging to the 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.... affiliate "Jaish Khaled bin Walid" near the Jordanian border.
The report specified that the majority of the airstrikes targeted the ISIS-held towns of Jaleen, Adwan, and Tasil, which are close to the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) front-lines in the Daraa Governorate.
In addition to the Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Arab Army has unleashed a large number of surface-to-surface missiles on the Islamic State’s positions in the Yarmouk Basin region of Daraa.
This powerful attack comes as the Syrian Arab Army prepares to launch a major offensive to eliminate the Islamic State’s large pocket in the southwestern region of the Daraa Governorate.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... unlike the other battles in the Daraa Governorate, the Islamic State will not be offered the opportunity to reconcile with the government.
The Syrian Army was able to sweep through much of the Daraa and al-Quneitra governorates in three weeks, thanks in large part to these reconciliation agreements.
ISIS may be given the option of being transported to the Badiya al-Sham region in eastern Syria; however, there is also the issue of the large number of displaced civilians living in the part of Daraa they control.
Due to the large number of displaced civilians near the Jordanian border, the Syrian Arab Army’s offensive to capture the Yarmouk Basin region may prove to be more difficult than originally planned.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Hezbollah member Wissam Dawlani who had been trapped in a Syrian village besieged by murderous Moslems for over three years returned to Beirut on Friday, where he was received by large crowds.
Six Hezbollah fighters have been reportedly trapped in the Shi’ite villages of al-Foua and Kafriya for more than three and a half years.
One Hezbollah member, Wissam Dawlani, was received by his entire neighbourhood in southern Beirut while the rest of them headed to their villages in south Leb.
The six men were evacuated from the villages on Thursday, as part of an agreement that was struck between the government and opposition forces in Syria.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The rebel forces have handed over more towns to the 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.... (ISIS) affiliate "Jaish Khaled bin Walid" in southwest Syria, a military source told al-Masdar News this evening.
According to the military source, the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) handed over at least eight towns to Jaish Khaled bin Walid in the Yarmouk Basin region of southwest Daraa.
The source continued that the towns handed over to the Islamic State were the following: Bakar, al-Abdali, Jabiliyah, Maqraz, Maalqa, Majaheed, Dariyat, Abu Hajar, Mashiydah, Ayn Zabidah and Sad Jabiliyah.
All of these towns were handed over to Jaish Khaled bin Walid over the last 48 hours, the source added.
This move by the Free Syrian Army comes just days after they surrendered almost all of the northwestern countryside of Daraa to the Syrian Arab Army and their allies.
However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... it was expected from the Free Syrian Army, as they have handed over several other towns to the Islamic State forces near the Yarmouk Basin region.
For the Syrian Arab Army, the large Jaish Khaled bin Walid pocket in the Yarmouk Basin region is their next military objective in southwest Syria.
Once this region is captured, the Syrian Army will be in full control of southwest Syria.

So the FSA is on friendly enough terms with IS that they trust IS to babysit while they attack Pencilneck? This is bad.
[ALMASDARNEWS] For the fourth time this month, the Russian Hmeimim Airbase has come under heavy attack from rebel drones.
According to a military source in Latakia, the jihadist rebels launched a drone attack on the northeastern perimeter of the Hmeimim Airbase in the southwestern countryside of the province.
In response to the drones entering their airspace, the Russian air defense deployed their missiles in a bid to foil the attack.
The military source said the drone attack was foiled by the Russian air defense after a brief confrontation this evening.
The source added that the Russian and Syrian air forces are likely preparing to launch a big attack on the Jisr al-Shughour District, following this latest provocation.
Earlier this month, the jihadist rebels in the Jisr al-Shughour District launched three drone attacks on the Hmeimim Airbase; however, all of their attempted strikes were foiled before they could do any damage to the installation.
This latest attack on the Hmeimim Airbase comes just hours after the rebel forces fully surrendered their areas in southwest Syria.

rebel drones
Sounds like a bad sci-fi movie. Who / what are the drones rebelling against?
[Al Jazeera] Rebels in the southwest province of Quneitra in Syria have started leaving the area after giving up their fight against government forces near the frontier with Israel, according to Syrian state media.
A convoy of buses on Friday mid-afternoon carried the first batch of rebels, their family members and assorted civilians to opposition-held territory in the north where they will live among more than one million others displaced by Syria's seven-year-long civil war.
The surrender in Quneitra, in line with a deal that was struck between rebels and pro-government forces, is a big victory for Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad The Scourge of Hama... whose troops are close to reclaiming complete control of the country's south.
According to state media, the agreement "stipulates the departure to Idlib [province] of turbans who reject the settlements", and allow those who wish to remain to "settle" their status with the authorities, meaning accepting a return of state rule.
The state-controlled al-Ikhbariya TV station broadcast footage on Friday of fighters dressed in fatigues boarding buses in the village of Um Batina in Quneitra, which adjoins the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The pro-government Central Military Media outlet said there were 50 buses ready to transport rebels to the opposition-held Idlib province in northwest Syria.
A military news service run by Leb's Hezbollah, which is fighting in support of Damascus, said buses "carrying Lion of Islams" had left the city of al-Quneitra headed north.
The evacuation was also reported by Anadolu Agency correspondents, while a Rooters news agency witness at a vantage point on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights saw a steady movement of people out of the village of al-Qahtaniya, near Quneitra. A stream of cycle of violences, heavily laden cars and flatbed trucks packed with men, women and kiddies departed the village.
Al-Ikhbariya said that a second convoy of buses was preparing to depart with another batch of Quneitra fighters.
