Ah yes..A beautiful woman and great actress. One of my favorite movies is "The Bishop's Wife" 1949 Christmas film also starring David Niven and Cary Grant.

In the '50s she hosted a TV show. It always opened with her entrance on the stage; always beautiful; always graceful; and always had a good show. It's a shame I can't remember any of the shows, but I'll never forget the openings!
[ShbelleMedia] Somali intelligence and police forces have arrested a man suspected of planning a security attack in the KPP neighbourhood of Mogadishu’s Hodan district, the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) said on Wednesday.
The suspect, identified by NISA as Hassan Nur Muse, also known as Makane and Ali Sabti, was detained during a joint operation conducted by NISA and Somali police, according to a statement from the agency.
NISA said its public protection units detected the suspect’s movements as he allegedly prepared to carry out an attack in the neighbourhood.
The suspect attempted to flee and threw away a hand grenade he was carrying, but security forces apprehended him without injury, the statement said.
The agency did not provide further details about the suspected attack or say whether the grenade had been recovered.
NISA described the arrest as evidence of the security forces’ vigilance and commitment to preventing suspected al-Shabaab ... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa... members from operating among civilians.
Somali security forces regularly conduct operations in the capital to disrupt suspected krazed killer networks and prevent attacks on civilians and government targets.
[Jpost] The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis says it destroyed a ballistic missile fired by the group towards the kingdom's eastern region early on Thursday, as hostilities between both sides show no signs of abating.
Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense issued two alerts warning of potential danger in Najran, in southwestern Saudi Arabia, and in the Eastern Province, before saying minutes later that the danger had passed in both areas.
[SDUT] An alleged leader of a drug trafficking organization wanted in San Diego was killed in a clash with Mexican military forces in Sinaloa, Mexican officials said Wednesday.
Jesús González Peñuelas, also known as "Chuy," was previously indicted on drug trafficking charges by grand juries in San Diego and Colorado. The U.S. government was offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his arrest.
Mexican Secretary of Security Omar García Harfuch said in a social media post that personnel from the Mexican Navy were conducting an operation in a Sinaloa neighborhood Monday when they came under attack by members of a criminal cell. The military members fired back.
García Harfuch said that two people, including González Peñuelas, were killed during the operation. He was identified as one of the operators of the Guasave cartel, an organization linked to the Sinaloa cartel.
In San Diego, González Peñuelas was indicted in 2017 on charges of international conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, court records show. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego declined to comment Wednesday.
González Peñuelas, who was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, was accused by U.S. officials of "heading a longstanding organization involved in trafficking illicit drugs into the United States and laundering funds for the Sinaloa Cartel."
U.S. officials said that since 2007, González Peñuelas was responsible for the production and distribution of methamphetamine and heroin to the U.S. since 2007, and was a "major distributor" of cocaine and fentanyl, according to a May news release by the Department of the Treasury.
The federal agency said that as cell leader of the Sinaloa cartel, he operated primarily in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, with distribution cells in California, Texas, Colorado, Washington, Utah and Nevada.
[KhaamaPress] Belgian prosecutors are seeking more than 230 years in prison for 31 Afghan men accused of running an international human-smuggling network linked to at least 615 victims since 2017.
The trial of 31 Afghan men accused of involvement in a large-scale human-smuggling operation has begun in Antwerp, Belgium, with prosecutors seeking lengthy prison sentences and the confiscation of millions of euros in alleged criminal proceeds.
Belgian broadcaster VRT reported on Monday, October 26, that the suspects allegedly operated on TikTok under the names "313" and "313 Criminal." Prosecutors say the network transported migrants colonists through dangerous routes across Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and subjected some victims to violence, confinement and sexual abuse. The allegations have yet to be established by the court.
PROSECUTORS SEEK MORE THAN 230 YEARS IN PRISON
According to Belgian media reports, prosecutors are seeking a combined prison sentence of more than 230 years for the 31 defendants. They have also requested the confiscation of more than €3 million in alleged criminal proceeds.
Three men identified by prosecutors as leaders of the network face requests for sentences of up to 15 years each. The prosecution alleges that the organization had a clear hierarchy and was directed by leaders operating from Afghanistan’s Baghlan province, where some of the proceeds were allegedly transferred.
Investigators believe the network has been active since 2017, although the formal investigation that led to the current proceedings began in October 2023, according to earlier reporting by Belga News Agency.
MIGRANTS ALLEGEDLY TRANSPORTED IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Prosecutors say the network arranged journeys for migrants colonists seeking to reach Western Europe, including routes to the United Kingdom, Austria and Germany.
According to the allegations, migrants colonists were transported in the cargo compartments of trucks, vans and cars, as well as in vehicle trunks. The network allegedly used locations in Antwerp and migrant camps in La Belle France to accommodate people before onward journeys.
Another suspected route passed through the Balkans, including Serbia and Hungary. Prosecutors say the operation used social media to contact potential clients and coordinate smuggling arrangements.
The alleged victims were primarily men, but women, children and infants were also among those affected, according to the prosecution. Reports say many came from Afghanistan, Pakistain and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...a 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... member, but not the most reliable... ALLEGATIONS OF VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ABUSE
Prosecutors allege that migrants colonists who failed to pay the required fees on time were beaten or held against their will. Some victims also reportedly testified to sexual abuse.
Belgian media have reported that Sherlocks found videos featuring weapons among material associated with the suspects. Prosecutors allege that weapons were used to threaten victims, while some people were subjected to violence when they could not meet payment demands. These claims remain allegations in an ongoing criminal case.
The case has drawn attention to the risks faced by migrants colonists relying on smugglers to cross borders, particularly those travelling through irregular routes in search of safety or better living conditions.
VERDICT EXPECTED IN DECEMBER
Most of the defendants are currently under electronic monitoring or have been released on bail, while a smaller number remain in detention and attend court from prison, according to Belgian media reports.
The court is expected to issue its ruling no earlier than December. Until a verdict is delivered, all 31 defendants are presumed innocent under the law.
The proceedings are among the major cases involving alleged Afghan-linked smuggling networks investigated by Belgian authorities. Earlier investigations into suspected networks have also examined the use of social media, including TikTok, to connect smugglers with migrants colonists and coordinate journeys across borders.

[Jpost] "A minor, so far unidentified... shouting Allahu Akbar, attacked the member of Gendarmerie and attacked him with two knives," said Dacic.
A guard at Israel's embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, was attacked by a knife-wielding assailant early on Wednesday morning, according to Serbian police.
The attacker was killed at the site shortly after midnight.
Serbia's Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said that police had increased the terror threat level to "Red," the highest possible grade, and increased their presence at vulnerable locations, according to the Associated Press.
"A minor, so far unidentified... shouting Allahu Akbar, attacked the member of Gendarmerie and attacked him with two knives," said Dacic.
An assailant with knives attacked a police officer from an elite unit guarding the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade just after midnight on Wednesday, police said. The officer responded by fatally shooting the attacker.
Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said that police were treating the incident as a "terrorist attack" and had raised the terror threat to the highest level and stepped up police presence at key locations.
He said the attacker was a minor and had two knives. He attacked the member of the Gendarmerie, shouting Allahu Akbar, or "God is great" in Arabic. Dacic added that the police officer, who was slightly maimed in the face, killed the assailant in self-defense.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the "attempted terrorist attack," saying it was under investigation by the Serbian authorities.
"The attacker was neutralized by local police," the statement said. "No embassy personnel were maimed, and the mission was closed at the time of the incident, which occurred late at night."
Serbian prosecutors said that a "person dressed in black clothes" opened the door to the guard’s booth outside the embassy and charged at the officer inside with the knives, throwing one in his direction and hitting the officer’s left cheek.
The officer, identified by his initials D.S., then pulled out his weapon and fired several shots at the assailant, killing him on the spot, the office of the Higher Public Prosecutor in Belgrade, said.
Police photos from the scene showed the guard’s booth outside the embassy and the area sealed off by police tape as officers in full gear stood nearby.
The attacker was believed to be from the western Serbian town of Sabac, Dacic said.
He said that Serbia’s security agencies had been monitoring the attacker, who he said was a supporter of the 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.... group. Dacic said that "he kept the black flag in support of the Islamic State on his Instagram" account.
Wednesday’s attack comes just days after Serbia held a key early parliamentary election on Sunday in which long-ruling former President Aleksandar Vucic was defeated by a youth-led movement after almost two years of protests against him. But Vucic and his allies still control the police as the new government is yet to be formed.
In June 2024, an attacker with a crossbow also maimed a Serbian police officer guarding the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade. The assailant was shot and killed by the officer.
Israel’s embassy is located not far from the US Embassy in an upscale Belgrade district. It is guarded by an elite police unit with officers armed with automatic weapons.
Serbia has maintained close relations with Israel.
[KhaamaPress] An Afghan woman who came to the United States as a Fulbright scholar in 2021 has been detained by U.S. immigration authorities in Michigan, weeks before she was due to attend an interview on her pending asylum application, according to her family, her employer and local media reports.
Benazir Noorzad, 32, was preparing to board a flight to Virginia at bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... Metropolitan Airport on Thursday, October 22, when officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) took her into custody, her brother, Matiullah Noorzad, told MLive.
ICE’s online detainee locator listed her as held at the Calhoun County Correctional Center in Battle Creek, Michigan, as of Sunday afternoon, the local broadcaster ABC12 reported. ICE has not publicly explained why she was detained and did not respond to requests for comment from local media.
Noorzad came to the United States on a Fulbright scholarship at Oklahoma State University. She applied for asylum after the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021, her brother said. She now works as a human resources representative in the benefits division of Genesee County government.
Her brother said her asylum application had not been denied and that she was scheduled for an interview in the coming weeks.
Anita Galajda, Genesee County’s director of human resources and labor relations, described Noorzad as a respected colleague and said she is lawfully in the country while her asylum application is processed, according to local reports.
Matiullah Noorzad said he fears for his sister’s safety if she is sent back to Afghanistan, in part because of the family’s ties to the United States. He said he had worked with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, and he called for her detention to be reviewed and for her to be released while her case proceeds.
Khaama Press could not independently verify the brother’s account of his work with U.S. forces. There is no public indication that a removal order has been issued against Noorzad.
Her case adds to a series of ICE detentions of Afghan asylum seekers and former U.S. allies over the past year. In March, Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal, an Afghan man who had served alongside U.S. forces, died less than a day after he was taken into ICE custody in Texas.
Noorzad’s detention also comes as the Taliban continue to tighten restrictions on Afghan women. Since returning to power, the Taliban have barred girls from school beyond the sixth grade and banned women from universities and many forms of work.
Earlier this month, the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said it had verified the arrest or detention of at least 52 women and one girl in Kabul and Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... between July and September. The cases were linked to alleged violations of Taliban dress rules, including visible hair, colorful scarves, makeup and not wearing a chador, or to appearing in public without a male guardian, known as a mahram.
[Dawn] Nine India-sponsored bad boyz were potted in two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... ’s Kachhi and Wadh districts, the military’s media wing said on Wednesday.
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that on October 26, security forces conducted IBOs in the districts on the reported presence of turbans belonging to Fitna al-Hindustan.
The state has designated Balochistan-based terrorist groups as Fitna al-Hindustan to highlight India’s alleged role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistain.
In the first operation in Kachhi, a terrorist hideout was destroyed and seven turbans were eliminated in an exchange of fire.
Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists, the statement added.
In Wadh, security forces "tracked and intercepted terrorist movement" and killed two turbans in an exchange of fire.
Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists, the statement added.
"Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other India-sponsored terrorist found in the area," the statement read, adding that a relentless counterterrorism campaign under the vision "Azm e Istehkam" will continue at full pace to "wipe out [the] menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country".
INTENSIFIED OPERATIONS
Balochistan has witnessed an increase in terrorist activities in recent years, prompting security forces to intensify counter-terrorism operations.
On Oct 18, an army major was martyred, and four bad boyz were potted during multiple IBOs in Balochistan. A day before that, security forces killed eight "India-sponsored" turbans during IBOs conducted in the Quetta, Nushki and Khuzdar districts of Balochistan.
On the night of Oct 12/13, security forces busted a terrorist hideout and killed five turbans during an IBO in Washuk, ISPR said.
Days later, Balochistan government officials said that six turbans affiliated with the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... Pakistain (TTP), two would-bejacket wallah'> exploding trollop female suicide bombers, and two commanders of a banned ...the word banned seems to have a different meaning in Pakistain than it does in most other places. Or maybe it simply lacks any meaning at all...
organization had been arrested during IBOs across the province.
They said around 90 arrested turbans were being held at a centre where investigations and legal proceedings were under way.
Earlier this month, five turbans were eliminated in Balochistan’s Mastung district, state media reported.
According to Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), terrorist violence increased substantially in Sept with 225 attacks recorded nationwide, compared with 199 in August, representing a 13.1 per cent increase and the highest monthly total recorded in 12 years, with Balochistan remaining the "principal theatre" with 131 attacks, accounting for 58.2pc of the national total.
On counterterrorism, the report noted that security forces conducted 74 operations, killing 280 terrorists. Out of this, Balochistan accounted for 35 operations and 171 terrorist deaths.
[Rudaw] An Iraqi court on Tuesday sentenced six Frenchies to life imprisonment and a seventh to 15 years after convicting them of membership in the 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), amid ongoing prosecutions of foreign ISIS suspects transferred from detention facilities in neighboring Syria.
Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) announced the sentences in a Tuesday statement, adding that the trial occurred "in the presence of their defense lawyers and representatives from the French Embassy in Iraq."
"The convicts are classified as 'high-risk' elements due to their role in threatening Iraqi national security and destabilizing Iraq and Syria, in addition to their involvement in inciting the execution of terrorist operations in other countries," the SJC stated.
The court said the sentenced individuals were part of 47 Frenchies Iraqi authorities received last year from northeast Syria during a US-led global coalition transfer mission.
The 47 had been part of a large number of foreign and local ISIS detainees transferred from detention facilities in neighboring Syria earlier this year.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that between January 21 and February 12, more than 5,700 adult male ISIS fighters were relocated from detention facilities in Syria to Iraqi custody.
In February, the SJC confirmed it had received 5,704 suspected ISIS members across 61 nationalities during the US-led transfer operation, with the Karkh Central Prison in Baghdad designated as the main assembly facility.
The transferred detainees include 3,543 Syrians, 467 Iraqis, 710 nationals of other Arab countries, and 983 foreigners from Europe, Asia, Australia, and the US, according to figures released in August by the National Center for International Judicial Cooperation (NCIJC), which was established by the SJC to take over the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by ISIS (UNITAD) after their closure in 2024.
Iraq tries most ISIS suspects under Article 4 of the 2005 Counter-Terrorism Law, which mandates the death penalty or life imprisonment for anyone who "commits, incites, plans, finances, or assists" a terrorist group.
In February, Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused Iraqi authorities of conducting rushed trials of ISIS detainees, raising concerns over due process, alleging that some convictions relied on confessions obtained through torture, and estimating that around 8,000 detainees are on death row.
Iraq’s parliament conducted a first reading of a bill to address legal gaps in prosecuting mass atrocities early in October. The bill formally criminalizes genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, including "enslavement, forced displacement, forced pregnancy, persecution, enforced disappearances," and demographic changes.
The draft law establishes jurisdiction over offenses committed aboard Iraqi ships and aircraft, crimes committed by Iraqi nationals abroad, and atrocities carried out by ISIS and affiliated groups.
Iraq is not a state party to the Rome Statute, leaving the Hague-based International Criminal Court with no jurisdiction over crimes committed on Iraqi soil.
The legislative push follows the late 2024 closure of the UNITAD, which withheld a significant portion of its evidentiary archives from Baghdad because strict UN policies prohibit sharing evidence in proceedings where capital punishment can be imposed.

🔴 ELIMINADO: Ahmed Muhammad Ahmed Baraka, un terrorista de la Nukhba del ala militar de Hamás, fue eliminado el jueves pasado en el sur de Gaza.
Se infiltró en Israel durante la masacre del 7 de octubre y participó en el secuestro de civiles israelíes, entre ellos Alexander Dancyg, del kibutz Nir Oz. También participó en la retención de numerosos rehenes, incluido Nimrod Cohen, en el sur de Gaza.
En un alcance separado llevado a cabo el viernes pasado en el norte de Gaza, fueron eliminados Omar Awadallah, un comandante de pelotón de la Nukhba, y Moataz Mahmoud Mohammed Al-Nimr, un terrorista de la Nukhba.
Recientemente, los terroristas promovieron ataques terroristas contra civiles israelíes y soldados de las FDI, y trabajaron para restablecer las capacidades de Hamás, en una violación sistematica del cese al fuego.
Los terroristas fueron eliminados con el objetivo de neutralizar la amenaza que representaban.
ELIMINATED: Ahmed Muhammad Ahmed Baraka, a Nukhba terrorist from Hamas’s military wing, was eliminated last Thursday in southern Gaza.
He infiltrated Israel during the October 7 massacre and participated in the abduction of Israeli civilians, including Alexander Dancyg from Kibbutz Nir Oz. He was also involved in holding numerous hostages, including Nimrod Cohen, in southern Gaza.
In a separate operation carried out last Friday in northern Gaza, Omar Awadallah—a Nukhba platoon commander—and Moataz Mahmoud Mohammed Al-Nimr—a Nukhba terrorist—were eliminated.
Recently, these terrorists promoted attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and worked to restore Hamas’s capabilities, in a systematic violation of the ceasefire.
The terrorists were eliminated with the objective of neutralizing the threat they posed.
[Rudaw] Tensions erupted on Wednesday around a camp housing French imported muscle in northeastern Syria’s Idlib province after masked button men shot and killed a commander of the group, a UK-based human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... observer told Rudaw.
A widespread state of alert has been declared inside the camp following the killing of the commander identified as "Abu Ayman," director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) Rami Abdulrahman informed Rudaw’s Nushin Heme.
The "French Camp" is located in the northern Syrian city of Harem, less than two kilometers from the Ottoman Turkish border and is organized by a group of imported muscle who call themselves "Muhajirun," also known as "Firqat al-Ghuraba" or "Brigade of Foreigners."
Dakar-born French national, Omar Omsen - known also as Omar Diaby - is considered to be the group’s leader, recruiting Death Eaters from La Belle France to Syria through online propaganda videos.
His predecessor, the group’s founder, was Omar Omsen, a French jihadist of Senegalese origin. They’re a small group of up to 100 fighters, mostly French and Belgian, linked to the current HTS government.
Abu Ayman was traveling in a car on Wednesday with several other people when masked button men opened fire on their vehicle on the road connecting the camp to the city of Harem, Abdulrahman said. The identity of the attackers and the motive behind the operation have not been officially confirmed.
Meanwhile,
...back at the buffalo wallow, Yellow Wolf clutched at his chest and fell from his horse... Syrian state broadcaster al-Ikhbariya cited the Internal Security Command in Idlib Governorate saying that "An Internal Security Forces patrol spotted an gang leaving the French camp towards the Harem area in the Idlib countryside, in violation of the agreement not to leave the camp with weapons," outlining that "As the patrol moved to pursue and stop the group, its members opened fire on the security force, prompting a response to the sources of fire."
"The incident resulted in the death of one member of the gang and the injury of a civilian," al Ikhbariya reported.
In a separate testimony provided to SOHR on Wednesday, a French fighter living in the camp accused Syrian security authorities of orchestrating an ambush inside the city and confiscating surveillance cameras and recording devices to destroy evidence.
According to the fighter, residents had left the camp in two vehicles to purchase food before coming under fire near a gas station known as the "Turkistani Station" by a mosque at the entrance of Harem, where they passed a security checkpoint without stopping.
The fighter noted that children were standing on the side of the road during the shooting, though SOHR was unable to independently verify the fighter's testimony or confirm whether any civilian casualties occurred.
The Muhajirun group condemned the authorities in a statement published on Thursday, saying that "For three months now, you have besieged us, imposing an embargo and stepping up surveillance. We have committed no act to justify such hostility."
In the statement, the jihadists accused the local administration of acting on "directives dictated by La Belle France" to neutralize them, failing to honor a reciprocal ceasefire agreement reached on October 22, 2025.
"You [Syrian internal security forces] have threatened local shopkeepers and suppliers, banning them from selling or delivering food and building materials to us," the statement added.
The group said they face a "standing order" for any "French Muhajir the moment they step outside the camp," and stated it had previously taken "measures to avoid direct confrontation and prevent escalations." Syrian state media noted that the agreement specifies leaving the camp "with weapons."
The Harem camp is surrounded by a fortified wall and is equipped with surveillance cameras, housing approximately 100 imported muscle alongside 25 women, 25 teenagers, and 75 children, according to Abdulrahman.
Relations between the camp's residents and local security authorities previously deteriorated in October 2025 when festivities broke out after an 11-year-old French-Moslem girl named Maymouna Ferstay was kidnapped for ransom by French fighters.
At the time, the Syrian Ministry of Interior posted a statement on X from Commander of Internal Security in Idlib province Ghassan Bakir responding to complaints from residents of the al-Fardan camp regarding grave violations, the latest of which was "the kidnapping of a girl from her mother by an outlaw gang led by the so-called Omar Diaby."
Bakir stated in October 2025 that security forces completely surrounded the camp, established observation points, and attempted to negotiate a voluntary surrender with Diaby, who refused, barricaded himself inside, prevented civilians from leaving, and opened fire on security personnel.
Omsen was blacklisted by the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Security Council Sanctions Committee in September 2014, as a leader of an gang linked to al-Qaeda and the al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... h Front. The Committee described him as "a key controller for a Syrian foreign terrorist fighter network of foreign terrorist fighters travelling to Syria. Active in terrorist propaganda through the Internet."
The US State Department also designated Diaby as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), noting that he leads approximately 50 French imported muscle alongside the Nusrah Front.
Diaby gained the attention of French intelligence after faking his death in August 2015 to travel to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... for an operation before re-emerging in May 2016.
"Diaby’s videos have been credited as the chief reason behind why so many Frenchies have joined Death Eater groups in Syria and Iraq," read the US State Department statement.
Different factions have been targeted as of late.
In a separate incident on Monday, an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... killed a prominent leader of Hurras al-Din, Abu Abdulrahman al-Libi, which the US State Department identifies as an "al-Qa’ida-affiliated jihadist group that emerged in Syria in early 2018 after several factions broke away from 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)."
The Muhajirun stated on their Telegram channel that the leader "was killed at the hands of the Americans."
[Rudaw] Several Iranian security personnel were reportedly killed or wounded on Tuesday in heavy clashes after armed assailants attacked security facilities in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province, a rights group reported.
Haalvsh, a human rights group monitoring the Balochi community, cited local sources and eyewitnesses who reported that armed assailants attacked the support unit headquarters in Khash, with the adjacent police station also coming under fire. Several ambulances were reportedly dispatched to the scene.
A Khash resident told the monitor that the “shooting began at 4:56 pm and continued intensely for more than an hour.” The resident said roads leading to the police station, including two streets, had been completely blocked, with security forces preventing vehicles and residents from passing.
Haalvsh said it was unable to independently verify the exact number of casualties among security personnel or the armed assailants.
The incident comes amid an escalation in armed confrontations in Sistan and Baluchestan, populated mainly by Iran's ethnic Baloch and Sunni Muslim communities, which have long faced deep-rooted security challenges, as Iranian security forces confront Baloch armed groups and those they deem a threat to state security.
Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported two armed individuals firing at the headquarters of the support unit in Khash County, in Sistan and Baluchestan province late Tuesday evening.
Khash’s deputy governor for political affairs confirmed the incident.
