Afghanistan
Panjshir Residents Urge Islamic Emirate to Assess Relatives’ Cases Fairly
[ToloNews] Some residents of the central province of Panjshir called on the Islamic Emirate to assess the cases of their relatives in jug in a fair way.

The residents said that some of their relatives have been detained in Kabul.

"Their crime is not clear for us. No one tells us what crime they committed. We went to the governor, to the council of Ulema. No one told us what they are accused of," said Mohammad Omar, a relative of a detainee.

"My mom is worried. My father went out to look for them. A letter from the intelligence department arrived to say that this person is innocent," said Mirza Shah, a relative of a detainee.

This comes as the Kabul governor’s office said that a committee comprised of six officials has been formed to investigate the cases of the detainees. The committee was formed after some residents of Panjshir met with the Kabul governor.

"Those residents of Panjshir who are living in Kabul and are currently in jail, and who are innocent and committed few crimes, their cases have been sent to the Prime Minister's Office. A decision will be made about their release," said Ziaullah Hashimi, a front man for the Kabul governor’s office.

This comes as the UN Assistant Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) also called for an investigation into the detentions in Panjshir.

#3  Khawarij is another word for Kharijites or taqfiris, who kill Muslims whose beliefs are not pure by the taqfiris’ definition. It’s a nasty name thrown around by a number of different parties — in Afghanistan both the Taliban and ISIS-K use it to describe the other.

Daily Evacuation Brief October 18, 2022
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • GERMANY TO EXPAND AFGHAN RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM – The German Foreign Ministry announced plans to begin resettling up to 1,000 at-risk Afghans per month in an expansion of a program they announced earlier in the year. Apparently, the government has only recently allocated the funding needed to ramp things up. Those at-risk Afghans with paths to Germany are advised to reach out and make contact as soon as possible (SEE STORY BELOW).

  • ISIS-K MEDIA CHIEF ARRESTED IN KABUL – The Taliban have announced the arrest of Mohammad Javad who, the Taliban says is the head of ISIS-K’s propaganda arm in Afghanistan. GDI agents say he was arrested without incident yesterday and all of his electronic devices were seized intact. It is not clear what role Mr. Javad has played but the Taliban has previously arrested dissidents and/or former members of the previous regime using claims of affiliation with the terror group.

  • CENTRAL BANK WARNS DEBTORS – Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) announced that outstanding debts were being reviewed and the bank will resort to the seizure of property if the debts are not paid. Bank officials explicitly targeted former high-ranking members of the previous regime. Sources in the financial sector see the announcement as an excuse to appropriate property that will be redistributed to Taliban officials. One source stated that bank records are being manipulated to increase debt balances on loan paperwork.

  • HAQQANI OUT AT MINISTRY OF EDUCATION – Rumors are circulating that the acting Minister of Higher Education, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, has been relieved of his position and a new appointment has been made. Sheikh Nada Mohammad Nandim (former Governor of Kabul) has been named the new Minister. While the new purported Minister’s intentions for the program are unknown, it is believed that many senior Taliban leaders were unhappy with Haqqani’s approach to the education crisis in the country.


CONFLICT TRACKER
Parwan: A Talib security detail attempted to arrest a suspected NRF fighter in Jabal-al-Saraj district. Two Talibs were reported killed and one injured. The suspected NRF man escaped.
Badakhshan: Six separate engagements between the Taliban and the NRF were reported across the province in the past 24 hours. Three of the clashes were said to involve several hundred combatants. Casualties have once again been reported but an accurate tally is not available. Some of the casualties are said to be non-combatants caught in the crossfire.

NEXT 24 HOURS
  • GOVERNMENT PURGE – Remarks made by the Minister of the Interior at a commencement ceremony for graduates of a University in Khost give credence to rumors that a purge of government officials is likely. He stated that too many unqualified people had been given posts in the de facto regime and most were rewarded with positions due to their participation in the jihad against the previous regime. He said these appointments have created a gap between the people and the Taliban and questioned their ability to manage governmental affairs. Criticism about the practice has been consistent from the international community and political observers have offered the opinion that the IEA is fast becoming a religious kleptocracy. It is not clear when the purges will begin but the fact the comments were made in an open forum has likely put those in governmental roles on a hot seat.

  • INCREASED SECURITY OPERATIONS EXPECTED IN KABUL – In previous instances where an ISIS-K operative has been arrested, targeted searches have resulted. Presumably, Mr. Mohammad Javad has/will undergo severe interrogation and his electronic devices will be searched for incriminating evidence by the GDI. Kabul residents will likely see house searches that could easily turn violent. At-risk Afghans who see concentrations of Taliban vehicles or fast-moving convoys are urged to immediately depart the area or shelter in place.

  • DAB TO AUCTION $11 MILLION DOLLARS – The Central Bank has scheduled another auction of US Dollars to try and keep the currency stabilized.

Arabia
UAE deploys senior intelligence officer to occupied Socotra island


I think the map tells the anti-piracy/interdiction story.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has returned its first intelligence man in 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...
, Mahmoud Fath Al Khaja, to the island of Socotra, Well-informed sources reported on Sunday.

According to the sources, Al Khaja arrived in the past hours at Socotra International Airport, on board an Emirati military plane, after leaving the island more than a year ago.

The sources indicated that the return of Al Khaja comes within Emirati arrangements to install him as a military ruler of Socotra, to succeed al-Anoud Ahmed al-Saadi, who was recently appointed as a replacement for Khalfan al-Mazari.

Al Khaja is the father of the Emirati ambassador to the Zionist entity, Mohammad Al Khaja. His return to Socotra at this particular time reflects the entity’s efforts to expand its control over the strategic island, in light of the escalation of Israeli moves in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Al Khaja had arrived on the island for the first time, in early 2010 during the era of the former regime, on an intelligence mission represented in the purchase of private lands in the beaches, plains and reserves, which, after the start of the US-Saudi aggression against Yemen, became Emirati Zionist military bases.

Mahmoud Al Khaja is considered the architect of the process of normalization with the Zionist entity. He was able, through his position in the UAE Foreign Ministry, and with the blessing of the enemy government, to appoint his son, Mohammad Mahmoud Al Khaja, as the first ambassador of the UAE to the Zionist entity, on February 14, 2021.

The Grand Turk
Former HDP lawmaker given lengthy prison sentence for alleged PKK ties
[Rudaw] A former politician of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
’s pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) long accused of having ties to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was sentenced to over 11 years in prison on Monday for allegedly making propaganda for the group.

Leyla Guven, a former outspoken HDP parliamentarian, was sentenced to 11 years and 7 months in prison after being tried by a court in the Kurdish city of Diyarbakir (Amed) for her suspected ties to the PKK, Turkey’s state-owned Anadolu Agency reported.

The HDP condemned her sentencing and labeled it as the "latest step" of a "Dire Revenge campaign" by President Recep Tayyip Erodogan’s ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party.

Guven, who was a representative for Hakkari province, was sentenced to six years and three months in September 2020, after being accused of affiliating with the Kurdish Communities Union (KCK), an umbrella group of a number of parties, including the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). The court’s decision came after the politician already served time in prison, which she says was for the KCK case, the proceedings of which began in 2009.

The PKK is a Kurdish gang fighting for the increased political and cultural rights of Kurds in Turkey and designated a terrorist organization by Ankara, who has launched repeated operations both domestic and southward across the border to target the group.

Ottoman Turkish officials claim that the HDP is the political arm of the PKK but the pro-Kurdish party has repeatedly denied the claims.

Thousands of HDP members have been arrested in recent years for terror-related charges, including former co-chairs Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag, as well as dozens of mayors.

Turkey in early October launched a fresh air and ground military operation seeking to remove PKK forces from rural areas of the country.

India-Pakistan
MP: Cops books Muslim man who impersonated as Hindu and raped woman
[OneIndia] The Madhya Pradesh police have started the paperwork but haven't done much else against a man named Mohammad Akram who had impersonated as a Hindu and lured a woman before raping her at a hotel.

The incident took place in Bhopal city, Madhya Pradesh. The accused called himself as Amar Kushwaha and developed friendship with the victim. After getting to know for over a month, he took her to a hotel and allegedly raped her.

It is also alleged that he coerced her into converting to Islam and threatened to kill her. The Hindu woman is a mother of two children and resides at the Ashok Garden locality.

Based on the complaint by the Hindu woman, Akram was booked under several sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religious Act 2020.

"The complainant girl told that she has been talking to a young man on call for a month, who introduced himself as Amar Kushwaha, who took her to the hotel today and raped her", Madhya Pradesh Nagar Police Station In-charge Sudhir Arjariya told news agency ANI.

Sanskriti Bachao Manch told ANI which staged a protest and demanded strictest action told ANI that they would not allow love jihad.

#1  I'm afraid to ask...what's a love jihad?
Posted by: Skidmark || 10/18/2022 16:18 Comments || Top||

#2  It's an inane term, very Indian, for the moslem population seducing non-moslems, women mostly, and converting them after eloping with them. While the phenomenon is known to occur, and it is encouraged by the jamaats as a viable form of jihad, the hindoos have become especially paranoid about it.

Wherever there's Moslems, the jihad of the heart is a reality. Young, innocent looking men with poetic names and polite manners, wooing lapsed christian damsels with no sense of prudence, and converting them to Jemimas and Niloofers. It is an incentivised activity too. Local mullahs pay a hefty fee based on a rate card for the girl conquered for Allah. And young abdul studs deliver several per year. They marry them moslemnically and after that they are a property of the community even if they're divorced. To be used or killed and dumped. Hundreds of thousands of girls disappear into the ghettoes and moslem clusters all over the world each year.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Police arrest 8 Palestinians suspected of aiding escaped gunman who killed soldier
[IsraelTimes] Clashes erupt as officers detain relatives and acquaintances of Udai Tamimi, accused of killing Sgt. Noa Lazar in shooting attack in Shuafat earlier this month.

Eight Paleostinians suspected of aiding a gunman who allegedly killed an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint near Jerusalem earlier this month were arrested by Israeli security forces in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday.

Sgt. Noa Lazar, 18, a member of the Military Police’s Erez battalion, was shot on October 8 along with a civilian guard when the gunman shot up a checkpoint near the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem. The guard was hospitalized at death's door. Lazar was rushed to the hospital but died of her wounds shortly after.

The suspected shooter, 22-year-old Udai Tamimi, managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
into the camp, where he is thought to likely still be hiding.

Police said the eight suspects, residents of the Shuafat refugee camp and the nearby West Bank town of Anata, were relatives and acquaintances of Tamimi.

A Border Police front man said that during the searches overnight, weapon parts and military vests were seized.

The front man added that Paleostinians hurled Molotov cocktails and stones at officers, who responded with riot dispersal means. There were no immediate reports of Paleostinian injuries.

Police said no officers were hurt in the incidents.

Security forces have been searching for Tamimi since the attack, in which the gunman casually emerged from the passenger side of a white vehicle stopped at a checkpoint near Shuafat, walked up to a group of soldiers and opened fire from nearly point-blank range.

Several more suspects were arrested in the Shuafat area in the days following the shooting.

The heavy police activity in Shuafat led to days of rioting in the refugee camp and other Paleostinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. Unrest in the capital appeared to lower to a simmer over the past few days.

Separately, the Israel Defense Forces said troops arrested five wanted Paleostinians during overnight raids across the West Bank, and seized a firearm and other weapons parts.

Southeast Asia
Malaysian forces free Gazan after alleged Mossad abduction in Kuala Lumpur – report
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian computer programming expert said to have been kidnapped by local operatives trained by Israeli spy agency, questioned over suspected ties to Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,.

Authorities in Malaysia reportedly freed a Paleostinian man who had allegedly been captured late last month by local operatives of the Mossad and was being interrogated in Kuala Lumpur for his alleged affiliation with the Hamas terror group and its armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

According to unverified reports by Al Jazeera Arabic and Malaysia’s New Straits Times, Malaysian operatives recruited by the Israeli spy agency and trained in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
had kidnapped a Paleostinian man from the Hamas-ruled 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 in the Malaysian capital on September 28 as he was getting into a vehicle with another Gazook man. Both were said to be computer programming experts.

The second man, who according to Malaysian reports, tried to help his friend was warned to stay away as the operatives dragged their target to a waiting car. He hurried to alert authorities of the incident.

The New Straits Times reported that the kidnapped Paleostinian was taken to a cabin about an hour from Kuala Lumpur and tied to a chair to face intelligence agents, believed to be Israeli, via video conference. "You know why you are here," they reportedly told the Paleostinian man.

A source "with knowledge of the case" told the Malaysian news site that "the Israelis wanted to know about his experience in computer application development, Hamas’ strength in developing software, members of the al-Qassam Brigade that he knew and their strengths."

The interrogation went on for about a day before Malaysian authorities raided the cabin and arrested the alleged operatives while taking the Paleostinian abductee into custody.

According to the Malaysian report, the Paleostinian man sustained multiple injuries during the alleged beatings by the operatives and has since left Malaysia.

In 2018, Gaza-born electrical engineer and avowed Hamas member Fadi Mohammed al-Batsh was shot full of holes by two motorcyclists as he walked to dawn prayers in Kuala Lumpur in 2018, in a killing widely blamed on Israel.

Russian, Syrian forces kill 20 militants in Syria: General
[Rudaw] Russian and Syrian forces killed 20 bully boyz in Syria, including those responsible for a kaboom on an army bus, a Russian general was cited as saying on Sunday.

A joint security operation targeted Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) bully boys, Russian state media quoted Major General Oleg Yegorov as saying during a briefing, adding that the bully boyz were involved in the attack on Syrian troops on Thursday.

Yegorov added among those killed were affiliates of ISIS operations in Daraa and Raqqa. There was no official comment from Syria.

A kaboom targeting a bus carrying Syrian troops killed at least 18 soldiers and maimed 27 others, Syrian state media reported. No group grabbed credit for the attack, the deadliest of its kind so far.

Attacks targeting military buses have been a frequent occurrence over the past year. In August, 13 soldiers were killed in an attack, widely blamed on ISIS, on a military bus in the Syrian desert.

Russia has been the main backer of Assad’s regime since the breakout of an uprising and civil war in the country in 2011.

Daraa province, where the Syrian revolution in 2011 originated, has been under regime control since 2018, but some areas still remain under the influence of rebel groups.

Satellite photos show damage at Iran prison amid protests, dead count raised to 8
[An Nahar] A weekend fire at Iran's notorious Evin Prison damaged one of the largest buildings in the complex, according to satellite photos analyzed Monday. Authorities raised to eight the number of inmates killed, doubling the initial toll.

What happened on Saturday night at the prison — for decades the main holding facility for political detainees and a centerpiece of the state's systematic crushing of dissent — remains unclear. Online videos purport to show chaotic scenes with a prison siren wailing as flames rise from the complex, the apparent crackle of gunfire and people screaming: "Death to the dictator!"

The fire erupted as nationwide anti-government protests triggered by the death of a young woman in the custody of the country's morality police entered a fifth week. Tensions have escalated to a point unseen since the mass demonstrations that accompanied the country's 2009 Green Movement protests.

Russian forces carry out efficient airstrikes against takfiri terrorists in Syria
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The Russian Defence Ministry has said that its fighter jets have carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s against the positions of foreign-sponsored takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed...
terrorist outfits in the murderous Moslem-held northwestern flank of Syria, killing dozens of forces of Evil in the process.

Deputy Chief of the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria Major General Oleg Yegorov said the air attacks destroyed a training camp in addition to a command center for terrorists, their weapons depots and nearly 15 pickup trucks with heavy machine guns mounted on them.

Yegorov added that the aerial raids killed some 100 terrorists, as takfiri Death Eaters are engaged in fierce festivities in an area divided between Ottoman Turkish-allied Death Eaters and members of the Hayat 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) terrorist group, as well as the groups called the Levant Front and the Sham Legion.

Separately, Russian and Syrian military forces conducted a special operation in the Arab country’s southern province of Daraa, killing 20 murderous Moslems, including the architects of a terrorist attack last week.

Eighteen soldiers were killed and 27 others injured in a kaboom on a military bus on the outskirts of the Syrian capital of Damascus early on October 13.

Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that the blast was caused by an bomb that had been previously affixed under the bus.

Russia has been providing Syrian forces with crucial military assistance in the ongoing battles across the conflict-plagued country.

The Russian assistance, which began in September 2015 at the official request of the Syrian government, has proved effective as Syrians continue to recapture key areas from remnants of the ISIS terrorist group and other foreign-backed terrorist factions.
