Clashes Continue near Three Provincial Centers: Officials
[ToloNews] Parts of Lashkargah in Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
, Faizabad in Badakhshan and the city of Kunduz in Kunduz province have witnessed attacks by the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
in the last few days amidst the ongoing peace talks that have faced delays over disputed points between both sides of the negotiations.

"The reason behind the war is that some soldiers have left their outposts without resistance," Helmand provincial council member Attaullah Afghan said.

"The Taliban have presence on the outskirts of Kunduz city," said Rabbani Rabbani, member of Kunduz provincial council. "There is a need for a large-scale operation to prevent Taliban attack on the city."

Badakhshan police front man Sanaullah Rouhani said that the Afghan forces operation against the Taliban is ongoing in Yaftal-e-Bala district for the last seven days.

Statistics by security agencies reveal that 27 provinces have witnessed Taliban attacks and security incidents in the last 24 hours.

The provinces include Kabul, Laghman
...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men...
, 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..
, Kunar, Nuristan, Paktia, Khost, Ghazni, Pashtun-infested Logar, Wardak, Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
, Kandahar, Zabul, Uruzgan, Herat

, Farah, Badghis, Ghor, Faryab, Jawzjan, Balkh, Helmand, Nimroz, Kunduz, Baghlan, Takhar, and Badakhshan.

"The defense and security forces of Afghanistan have defended the attacks under the active defense status and have foiled dozens of plans by the enemy, inflicting heavy casualty to them," said Rohullah Ahmadzai, front man for Ministry of National Defense.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had a cup of coffee. Even instant would do...
former NDS chief Rahmatullah Nabil said that increase in violence by the Taliban is an attempt to leverage the peace talks.

"If we move forward with like this, we will weaken the system’s legitimacy day-by-day and will question it. We will also lose more areas," Nabil said.

The Meshrano Jirga, the Afghan senate, in a statement on Sunday says that the attempts to withdraw foreign troops from Afghanistan and the continuation of violence are concerning and that Washington should remain committed to its joint declaration to the country.

"The two sides have responsibilities based on the agreement. The responsibility is that the US should equip and strengthen and support the Afghan forces," Senate Speaker Fazl Hadi Moslemyar said.

Afghans said that they expected a reduction in violence with the start of the peace negotiations in Doha, but it has not happened so far.

Major battle approaches as Azerbaijani forces attempt to reach key city in Karabakh
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] The vicinity of the strategic city of Shusha in Karabakh is witnessing violent mostly peaceful battles between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces, amid reports of powerful explosions near the capital Stepanakert.
According to local reports, Shusha was subjected to heavy bombardment, while fierce battles are taking place near the city.

The reports have said that the Artsakh Defense Army (ADA) have resisted the Azerbaijani attempts to reach the city gates; however, the latter has resorted to heavily bombarding Shusha with a plethora of missiles and artillery shells.

In a related context, local sources reported earlier strong explosions southwest of Stepanakert, but indicated that the situation is now calm inside the city.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Karabakh announced that its forces had shot down two Azerbaijani army drones after they approached the capital city.

The Artsakh Defense Army has been bracing themselves for a major battle at both Shusha and Stepanakert for days, as they move more forces to the front-lines to prevent the Azerbaijani troops from taking these important cities.

Europe
Report: At least one dead in shooting attack near synagogue in Vienna
[Ynet] Austrian police reports at least 15 injuries and possible fatalities after a suspected terror attack that involved six crime scenes, including the city's main synagogue that was closed at the time; one attacker reported killed

Several people were likely killed, and a number of others had been wounded in central Vienna following exchanges of gunfire late on Monday, Austrian interior minister said.

Police said the attack in Vienna involved six crime scenes and at least one police officer was among the 15 wounded. Police had shot dead one perpetrator, police said on Twitter.

Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told ORF the incident is believed to be terror attack. "At the moment I can confirm we believe this is an apparent terror attack," he said. "We believe there are several perpetrators. Unfortunately there are also several injured, probably also dead."

The Austria Press Agency quoted Nehammer's office as saying that one attacker was killed and another could be on the run.

Vienna police urged people to avoid all open spaces and public transport in the city. Police said trams and buses weren't stopping and urged social media users not to post videos of the ongoing police operation, so as not to endanger officers.

"There are several injured persons," police tweeted. "We are on site with all available forces. Please avoid all public squares in the city."

Newspaper Kronen Zeitung reported that an officer guarding the city's central synagogue was among the injured. The synagogue has police officers stationed near the entrance 24 hours a day.

Oskar Deutsch, the head of the Jewish community in Vienna, said the synagogue was already closed at the time of the shooting.

Deutsch added the shooting took place in the street where the city's main synagogue is located but that it wasn't clear whether the house of worship had been targeted.

Nevertheless, Jewish community organizers appered to have sent phone messages to community members asking them to take off their kippahs in order to avoid being targeted.

Earlier, a police spokesman said a large police deployment is underway in central Vienna.

Kronen Zeitung said shots were ired in the area of a nearby square, Schwedenplatz.

... elsewhere spelt Brahim Issaoui, Brahim Aouissaoui, and Brahim Aoussaoui..
and whether he acted alone and whether he premeditated Thursday’s attack on the Notre Dame Basilica.

Authorities have labelled the attack, which took place amid growing tensions around cartoons published by a French newspaper mocking the Prophet Muhammad, an act of Islamist terrorism.

Issaoui, who transited through Italia last month en route to La Belle France, is at death's door in a French hospital after being maimed by police as they arrested him.

A 35-year-old man who had met with Issaoui in Nice was arrested overnight, a judicial official said Saturday. A 47-year-old man who had met with Issaoui the night before the attack was already in jug, bringing the number of detained suspects to three. Their connection to the attack remains unclear.

A previously unknown Tunisian bully boy group grabbed credit for the attack, and Tunisian and French authorities are investigating whether the claim is legitimate.


Six in custody over Nice church attack in France
[AlAhram] Two more men were arrested in connection with a knife attack that left three dead at a church in Nice, bringing the number of people in custody to six as investigators look at the suspected assailant's last known contacts

Two more men were arrested in connection with a knife attack that left three dead at a church in Nice, bringing the number of people in custody to six as investigators look at the suspected assailant’s last known contacts, a French police source said.

The latest arrests took place on Saturday, the source said.

An assailant shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest) beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a church in Nice on Thursday, in France’s second deadly knife attack in two weeks with a suspected Islamist motive.

The suspected attacker, a 21-year-old from Tunisia, was shot by police and is now in critical condition in a hospital.

The latest arrests in the case involved two men from the town of Grasse, near the southern French coast close to Nice, BFM TV reported.

France’s chief anti-terrorism prosecutor has said the man suspected of carrying out the Nice attack had arrived in Europe on Sept. 20 in Lampedusa, the Italian island off Tunisia.

Investigators in Italy are also stepping up enquiries about the suspected assailant’s movements and contacts on the island of Sicily. They believe he may have spent time there after going from Lampedusa to Bari in early October on a ship used to quarantine migrants, judicial sources said.

In Bari, he is believed to have been handed an expulsion order obliging him to leave Italy within a week, the judicial sources said. Investigators are looking into the possibility the suspected attacker stayed in the Sicilian town of Alcamo for a 10 day period, the sources added.

Afghan Muslim Arrested After Shouting 'Islamic Slogans' in Vienna Catholic Cathedral
[BREITBART] A young Moslem man burst into Saint Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna on Saturday morning shouting "Islamic slogans" until he was subdued and arrested by police.Security officials cordoned off the cathedral and the surrounding area after the incident in preparation for Sunday’s Christian feast of All Saints’ Day.

Vienna City Police Command reported that the 25-year-old Afghan man made a "confused impression" on the police but that no weapons or questionable objects were found on his person or in the church building during a search. Nonetheless, the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Combating Terrorism was alerted and is carrying out an investigation of the case.

Saturday’s incident followed a disturbance on Thursday at Vienna’s St. Anthony of Padua church, when a mob of nearly 50 young Ottoman Turkish Moslems entered the church and began kicking the pews and confessionals.

St. Anthony’s is located in Vienna’s Favoriten district, a neighbourhood that is home to one of the Vienna’s largest Moslem populations. The pastor of the church who was present at the time notified the police, who eventually arrived after the young people had already dispersed.

"We oppose any form of extremism with the utmost severity, there is no tolerance," declared Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer after the event. "We in Austria will never let our right to exercise our religion be destroyed and we will protect the Christian community with all our might."

Due to recent events, authorities have instructed all police to monitor public areas more intensively, especially in the Favoriten district.

Fifth Column
It's On
[AlphaNewsMN] A leaked document allegedly created by TakeAction Minnesota warns of "mass mobilization" and "unrest" in Minneapolis if President Donald Trump is reelected, or if the results of the election are contested.
...

One section of the leaked manifesto, titled "Theory of What Will Happen," declares that "mass mobilization will and must happen in Minnesota to defend democracy" regardless of the "strength of the Minnesota election system."

"We expect that this mobilization will create space and opportunity for unrest, primarily in Minneapolis. In this context, the situation could rapidly spiral beyond control depending on the nature of the unrest and the State's reaction," the document says.

#6  The FBI needs to be dissolved. Create a purely administrative agency for information-sharing across state and local agencies; one without law enforcement powers.

The left wants to "abolish police" -- create a centralized law enforcement body as competent and non-political as the FBI -- so the solution is to go for the opposite. Eliminate all the federal law enforcement except Secret Service and Customs/Border Enforcement.

‘Resistance’ Becomes a Putsch
[CD Media] WASHINGTON, DC, November 1 — Dozens of leaked internal documents and Zoom call video footage were made public today describing plans by progressive activists and federal workers to disrupt and destabilize Tuesday’s US election outcome, including plans to "shut down the White House."
...

The videos and documents discuss a well-coordinated plan to shut down federal buildings (including the White House), public transportation portals, and disrupt Congress when it returns post-election. Sunrise is an umbrella movement comprised of 400 "hubs" and hundreds of affinity groups including 350.0rg and Extinction Rebellion.

So he is very clear bin saying "your", and we can agree IT is not a Pro-American. In fact IT is Anti-American.

Now tell me again how evil and intolerant America is?

Because IT is still alive and not pounded into the ground.

Now substitute a typical citizen dressed in a MAGA/KAG t-shirt. Holding up a US Flag, while standing in front of ANTI-FART and a Biden's Lapdogs Matter type groups. Saying "I support support Freedom of Speech and All Lives Matter to me".

What would be the citizens odds of survival ?

I think, we have turned the other cheek enough now.

Anti-American Subversive Revolutionists types should get the same punishment inflicted on PRO US Citizens Americans. Let ANTI-FART & Biden's Lapdogs Matters type groups feel what they have done to others as a mob.

protesters harassed residents of mid-rise homes in Vancouver, Washington, after police declared their "anti-capitalist," "anti-police" event in Portland to be a riot. Antifa quickly left the northeast Portland business and residential area to cross the Columbia River into suburban Vancouver.

The Antifa group marched through the residential area late Saturday night shining lights into windows, beating drums, and shouting at the residents to "wake up mother-f*cker, wake up," as seen in the tweet from journalist Andy Ngo.

Antifa Protester Screams at Police, 'I Hope All of Your Children Get Raped and Killed'
[BREITBART] Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
protesters in New York City went off on police after being ordered to disperse. One woman screamed, "I hope all of your children get raped and killed!"

Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters erupted into the streets of New York City this weekend. The crowd became unruly after NYPD officers declared the event unlawful and ordered people to disperse.

One particularly incensed woman screamed, "I hope all of your children get raped and killed!" Lives Matter producer Drew Hernandez tweeted.

"You’re a f**king disgrace," she yelled as she walked back from the line.

Others joined her in calling for the death of coppers. "The only good cop is a dead cop," multiple people in the crowd yelled.

The same woman is later seen screaming at leaders of the march, saying, "It was not a success. You didn’t do shit! And you’re scared to get arrested."

Another woman screamed, "What the f**k are you doing here? Go fight real crime, you f**king pathetic pussies!"

Violence broke out after coppers declared the event to be an unlawful assembly and began to make arrests. The order came after protesters blocked the streets and refused to move back on the sidewalks.

India-Pakistan
Kashmir: Top militant commander killed by Indian forces
[AA.TR] A top krazed killer commander, Saifullah Mir, was killed in a shootout in the Indian-administered 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....
on Sunday, police said.

Kashmir region's Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said that Mir, the operational chief commander of Hizbul Mujahideen
...Party of Holy Warriors, founded by Muhammad Ahsan Dar in September 1989. One of the Pak sock puppets waging jihad in Indian Kashmir. It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir. After the organization was taken over by Syed Salahuddin Dar and several other ex-Hizb leaders were assassinated between 2001 and 2003...
-- a krazed killer outfit active in the region -- was killed while a suspect was held during a shootout in the Rangreth area on the outskirts of the Srinagar city.

"On the basis of a specific lead, joint teams of police and CRPF [India's Central Reserve Police Force] laid a cordon in Rangreth and later the army also joined in the operation to eliminate the holed up commander," Kumar said.

Mir took over as the Hizbul Mujahideen chief after previous commander Riyaz Naikoo was killed in May this year.

Kumar, the police chief, termed the killing of Mir as a "big success" of the security forces and "an important achievement towards the elimination of militancy".

Mir had joined krazed killer ranks in 2014 and operated under slain commander Burhan Wani -- a top krazed killer leader who was killed in an encounter with the Indian forces in 2016 and has since become a symbol of protests against the government in the disputed territory.

Turkish-backed forces lose important base after clashes with jihadist ally in western Aleppo
[TWITTER] The Ottoman Turkish-backed forces in northwestern Syria suffered a major loss this weekend, when they lost their headquarters to the jihadist rebels in western Aleppo.

According to opposition reports from the western countryside of Aleppo, the jihadists of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS) took control of the headquarters for the Ottoman Turkish-backed 4th Brigade of the Syrian National Army (SNA).

The reports said that Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham had temporarily besieged the headquarters of the 4th Brigade before they were able to establish full control over this site inside the key town of Dart Izza.

The reason for the besiegement and capture of the 4th Brigade’s headquarters is unknown.

Dart Izza is one of the most important strongholds for the Ottoman Turkish-backed forces in northwestern Syria; it has been their primary stronghold in western Aleppo since they were expelled from the administrative capital.

In the past, the jihadist rebel factions like Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and Jund al-Aqsa (now part of Hurras al-Deen Group) have clashed with the Ottoman Turkish-backed forces, resulting in significant territorial losses in northwestern Syria.
