Gunmen loyal to the Islah Party, believed to be members of al-Qaeda, bombed on Tuesday a military site of UAE-funded “Shabwah Defense” in the Al-Saeed area, south of Shabwah province, in eastern Yemen.
Informed sources said, “Terrorist elements attacked the Al-Qana’a military site of the Shabwah Defense in the Al-Saeed district with a number of mortar shells.”
The source added that the attack was launched from areas controlled by loyalists of the Islah Party in the area, without mentioning any human or material losses resulting from the bombing.
Last September, the head of the Islah party, Muhammad al-Yadumi, indirectly threatened the Shabwah defense factions with long-term confrontations in Shabwah after the expulsion of the party’s militants from the city of Ataq, the center of the province, following the August 2022 confrontations.
A Munich court has augmented the prison sentence of a German woman to 14 years for her involvement with 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 and her culpability in the death of a five-year-old Yazidi girl subjected to extreme deprivation under her care.
Jennifer Wenisch,
...also in our archives as Jennifer W., among whose other defects of character is included her enthusiastic membership in the women’s branch of the ISIS morality police, for which she enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine while patrolling parks in Fallujah and Mosul fully armed. She converted in 2013, made her way to the caliphate the next year, and was arrested in 2016 when she went to the German embassy in Turkey to renew her passport...
previously sentenced to 10 years in 2021 for "crimes against humanity in the form of enslavement" and affiliation with a terrorist organization, has increased her sentence by the Munich court on Tuesday. AFP reported.
Prosecutors in Munich argued for a retrial, deeming the initial sentence for the first charge, nine years, as inadequate. Consequently, a district court in Munich reviewed the case and revised the sentence to 13 years, while the verdict for membership in a terrorist organization remained at one year. This revision results in a total imprisonment term of 14 years.
Wenisch, who hailed from Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany, departed her homeland in August 2014 and journeyed through The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... and Syria to Iraq, where she aligned herself with the jihadist group.
Her then-husband, Iraqi Taha al-Jumailly,
...sometimes more briefly in our archives as Taha al-J., more fully Taha Sabah Noori al-Jumailly. He was arrested in Greece in May 2019, for the murder of the girl and also membership in the ISIS morals police, then extradited to Germany...
procured a young Yazidi child and her mother, keeping them as "slaves" within their household while residing in ISIS-occupied djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Iraq, in 2015.
The Yazidis, a Kurdish-speaking community native to northern Iraq, have been subject to years of persecution by IS Death Eaters, enduring mass killings, rape, and coerced child soldier recruitment.
According to AFP, Prosecutors revealed that when the maiden of tender years soiled her bed, her husband chastised her by chaining her outside in the scorching heat, leading to her eventual demise. Wenisch was found to have allowed this tragic course of events to unfold and made no effort to intervene and save the girl.
In November 2021, Jumailly was sentenced by a Frankfurt court to life imprisonment for a range of offenses, including the genocide of Yazidis and crimes against humanity resulting in death.

Ilse Koch (22 September 1906 – 1 September 1967) was a German war criminal who committed atrocities while her husband Karl-Otto Koch was commandant at Buchenwald. Though Ilse Koch had no official position in the Nazi state,[1] she became one of the most infamous Nazi figures at war's end
A French soldier was killed in a four-hour firefight in Iraq when French and Iraqi forces raided an ISIS hideout, Iraqi security sources said on Tuesday.
Three other French and five Iraqi soldiers were wounded in the clash in a rural area of Iraq's northern Salahuddin province on Monday evening, two security sources said.
The French Presidency confirmed the death and named the soldier as Nicolas Mazier of a French special forces unit taking part in a raid with Iraq's Counter Terrorism Service troops against an ISIS hideout.
The French and Iraqi forces landed by helicopters in the al-Eth area after an Iraqi air strike on the militants' position but came under intense attack, the sources said.
"It was clearly an ambush by terrorists," one Iraqi security source said. The battle lasted for more than four hours.
Iraq declared final victory over ISIS in December 2017, but it still operates in separate groups in pockets of northern and western Iraq and still carries ambushes, assassinations and bombings across Iraq.
The hardline group has resorted to guerrilla tactics since it abandoned its goal of holding territory and creating a self-sufficient state straddling Iraq and Syria.

...Three of the injured people were soldiers, the IDF confirmed. They were hit on their way to a bus stop on the Israeli side of the checkpoint while making their way to an IDF fun day in Modiin.
...The terrorist rammed into a first checkpoint and then drove another 10 kilometers in an effort to ram into a second checkpoint. He was neutralized by security forces at the Hashmonaim junction after the soldiers had been warned by security personnel that the terrorist was on his way, and they were prepared to neutralize him.

Thank you for helping cover for my lack of activity here while I recover from a moderate case of Covid, Grom. I’ll be fine after a few days of bed rest, but in the meantime I’m grateful that the Rantburg team — both mods and membership — are handling things without me.
