According to the press service of the Polish Military Contingent he is responsible for the killings of Afghans cooperating with the military and police, as well as attacks on Afghan forces and coalition troops.

NATO aircraft sank eight warships belonging to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces in overnight attacks, the alliance said. The ships were sunk in coordinated attacks on the ports of Tripoli, Al Khums and Sirte, an alliance statement said.
"Given the escalating use of naval assets, NATO had no choice but to take decisive action to protect the civilian population of Libya and NATO forces at sea," Rear-Admiral Russell Harding, deputy commander of the NATO mission in Libya, said in the statement.

Libyan state-run television reported the strikes with a "breaking news" font that said, "Military source: Residential and military locations in Tripoli are currently being shelled by NATO forces."
Now, not tomorrow, would be a good time to get one of our broadcasting planes in there to dispel this.

I sort of like the quote in the article where Obama is called delusional and is believing his own (gov't's) lies.....
seems Bambi has been found out by people outside the US.
all this and Isreal isn't going back to 1967 boundaries. must be the end of the world, or something.
The head of the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... military alliance has said that military and political pressure have weakened Muammar Qadaffy's hold on power in Libya and will eventually topple him.
"We have significantly degraded Qadaffy's war machine. And now we see results, the opposition has gained ground," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told a news conference in the Slovak capital, Bratislava, on Thursday.
"I am confident that combination of strong military pressure and increased political pressure and support for the opposition will eventually lead to the collapse of the regime."
NATO, acting under a UN mandate, has been carrying out air strikes on the oil producer since Qadaffy used force to put down a revolt inspired by uprisings elsewhere in the Arab world.
Defections denied
Rasmussen delivered his message as Libya's government denied persistent rumours that Qadaffy's wife, daughter and a top oil official had left the country.
Libyan officials have produced no evidence of the whereabouts of the three, raising questions about Qadaffy's
ability to hold together his entourage in the face of a widespread rebellion and NATO bombing.
On Wednesday, a Tunisian security source and a Libyan opposition source with links to the ruling circle said Qadaffy's wife Safia and daughter Aisha were staying on the Tunisian island of Djerba, near the border with Libya.
Libyan rebel officials, as well as official sources in Tunisia, have also told Rooters that Shokri Ghanem, a former prime minister who runs Libya's oil industry, had left Libya via Tunisia, though it was unclear where he had gone.
Khaled Kaim, Libya's deputy foreign minister and one of the main government spokesmen, told Rooters in Tripoli: "Shokri Ghanem is in his position, at work. If he's out of the country, he'll be coming back.
"As for the family of the leader, they're still here in Libya. Where else would they be?"
Clear military objectives
Rasmussen said he had no information that Qadaffy's wife, daughter and oil chief had decamped.
Qadaffy has survived previous high-level defections, but analysts say there are signs of a gradual bleeding of support, especially as NATO's intensifies its air strikes and shortages make life harder even for officials.
"There are three clear military objectives for our operation," NATO's Rasmussen told news hounds.
"Firstly, a complete end to all attacks against civilians. Secondly, withdrawal of Qadaffy's military forces and paramilitary forces to their bases. And thirdly, immediate and unhindered humanitarian access to people in need in Libya.
"We will continue our operation until these objectives are fulfilled," he vowed.
Rasmussen stressed the NATO mission was restricted to enforcing the UN-mandated no-fly zone and that there were no plans for alliance troops to set foot on Libyan soil.
Libyan officials, however, have describe the NATO intervention as an act of colonial aggression aimed at grabbing Libya's oil.
On the ground opposition rebels control eastern Libya and pockets in the West, but the conflict has reached stalemate in military terms, with rebel attempts to advance on Tripoli, Qadaffy's stronghold, stalled.
That has left Western governments - under pressure from sceptical publics to deliver a decisive outcome - counting on Qadaffy's administration collapsing from within.
The last few days have also seen a flurry of diplomatic activity focusing on a possible ceasefire deal, with pro-Qadaffy officials travelling to Moscow for talks and UN envoys trying to broker an agreement.

[An Nahar] A special security court in Bahrain has sentenced nine people to 20 years in prison each after it convicted them of abducting a policeman, state news agency BNA reported Thursday.
"The Lower National Safety Court sentenced nine defendants accused of kidnapping one policeman to 20 years in prison," according to an English-language statement on BNA that did not give further details.
Defendants have the right to appeal the court's rulings within 15 days.
The court was set up under the state of national safety, a lower level of emergency law declared by King Hamad ...King of Bahrain (since 14 February 2002), having previously been its emir (from 6 March 1999). He is a Sunni, while the rest of Bahrain is predominantly Shiite... in mid-March, a day before an all-out crackdown on a month-long, Shiite-dominated protest demanding political reforms.
Last month, authorities said that 405 detainees have been referred to national safety courts, of whom 312 had been released.
The National Safety Appeals Court last month sentenced four Shiites to death and three others to jail for life for killing two coppers by running them over with cars during the protests.
Their case has drawn condemnation from Amnesia Amnesty International, which urged Bahrain to halt the executions.
On Tuesday, nine coppers were hurt when a car hit them as they were dispersing a protest in a Bahraini Shiite village, BNA state news agency said.
Four of the coppers sustained critical injuries in the attack that took place in Nuwaidrat, south of Manama, said BNA quoting a police official.
Bahraini authorities have said 24 people were killed during the month-long unrest, most of them demonstrators.

[An Nahar] Yemen's opposition blamed President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower... Thursday for the failure of a Gulf plan aimed at ending a bloody political dispute, saying the leader would do "everything" to remain in power.
Saleh "foiled the initiative by refusing to sign it" Wednesday, head of the opposition Common Forum Yassin Saeed Noman told Agence La Belle France Presse.
Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council Abdullatif al-Zayani flew out of Sanaa Wednesday after sources close to the negotiations between the regime and opposition said the two sides again failed to ink the accord to power transfer.
Saleh, in power since 1978, "has refused the peaceful choice and is ready to do everything to remain in power," said Noman.
"With this, the regime will have to face the people who will continue with their peaceful revolt and will continue to escalate, even if the regime uses violence against them," he said.
Conditions Saleh has set that he says will enable him to sign in his capacity as president cannot be met, said another member of the Common Forum who requested anonymity.
According to the Gulf-brokered proposal, Saleh would quit office within 30 days, in return for immunity from prosecution, before a government of national unity is formed and elections for a new president held after two months.
Washington issued a fresh plea Wednesday for the deal to be inked.
U.S. President Barack B.O. Obama's aide John Brennan called Saleh to urge him to sign and implement the agreement "so that Yemen is able to move forward immediately with its political transition," a White House statement said.
The impoverished but strategic Arabian Peninsula country has been gripped by protests since late January calling for Saleh's ouster.
Security forces have mounted a deadly crackdown on the protests, leaving at least 180 people dead, according to a toll compiled from reports by activists and medics.

Asharq Al-Awsat- The head of a coalition of Gulf countries seeking to broker an end to Yemen's political crisis gave up on Wednesday and left the country, opposition and government leaders said.
Yemen is reeling from three months of massive street protests demanding the ouster of President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower... after more than three decades in power.
The Gulf Cooperation Council sought to mediate a deal for Saleh to leave power in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Saleh snubbed the deal last month, prompting a visit from the coalition's head, Abdul-Latif al-Zayyani, to try to break the impasse.
But al-Zayyani, who is from Bahrain, ended his five-day visit Wednesday without closing the deal, leaving each side blaming the other for its failure.
In Washington, the White House said that John Brennan, who is an assistant to U.S. President Barack B.O. Obama, had called Saleh on Wednesday urging him to accept the GCC-brokered plan. He called it "the best path forward for Yemen to become a more secure, unified and prosperous nation."
This represents a change in the U.S. stance toward Saleh, who was considered an ally in fighting al-Qaeda's active Yemeni branch.
Opposition front man Mohammed al-Sabri said al-Zayyani told the opposition he was leaving because he couldn't get Saleh to sign.
"He said that since they were not able to reach an agreement, he was leaving Sanaa and would not come back," al-Sabri said.
Al-Sabri said Saleh had repeatedly tried to amend the deal by adding conditions that the opposition rejected.
Ruling party official Yasser al-Yemani confirmed al-Zayyani's departure, adding that Saleh refused to sign until the sit-ins across the country had ended.
"Saleh will not leave power as long as the security situation remains unstable," he said.
The mass protests have posed an unprecedented challenge to Saleh's rule. Several top military commanders and ruling party officials have defected to the opposition, while a crackdown by government forces has reportedly killed more than 150 people.
Yemen, Soddy Arabia's southern neighbor, faced crises even before the protests. It is plagued with widespread corruption, an incompetent oligarchy of braggarts, crooks, and flim-flam men, a Shiite rebellion in the north, a secessionist movement in the south and an active branch of al-Qaeda in its weakly governed provinces.
The GCC nations behind the mediation effort were Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Soddy Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

A BOMB targeting two US consulate cars exploded in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar today killing one person and wounding 11 others, police and the US embassy said.
The Pakistani Taliban has since claimed responsibility for the attack.
"Two vehicles of the US consulate were on their way to the consulate when they were attacked," US embassy spokesman Alberto Rodriguez said.
"One vehicle was damaged. There is no death among our personnel and there are no serious injuries," he added.
"Only one car was hit. In that car there were US citizen diplomats and a Pakistani driver," Rodriguez said.
Pakistan officials confirmed a local man riding on a motorbike was killed and 11 others wounded, including two foreigners.
"One person was killed, he was passing on a motorcycle," senior police official Mohammad Ejaz Khan said.
[Dawn] Police say a roadside kaboom targeting a police vehicle has killed a passer-by and maimed two coppers in in northwest Pakistain.
Senior police official Liaquat Ali Khan said the attack happened on Thursday in a commercial area of Akora Khattak town in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... province.
He said the dead and injured had been transported to a hospital.
No one grabbed credit, but Pak Taliban often target security forces and civilians in various parts of the country.

[Dawn] Unidentified persons torched a religious seminary for girls in Maneri Payyan village of the district on late Tuesday night.
Even rote memorization of the Holy Book is too much feminine education for some people. After all, if the girls know what it says, they know when their superior menfolk are getting it wrong.
The incident infuriated residents of the area as several copies of the Holy Koran were also burnt in the incident.
Ever so much more important than improving the piety of future cooks and bottle washers.
The attackers targeted a seminary at Mottikhel area of Maneri Payyan where girls were learning the Holy Koran from women teachers, officials said, adding an FIR was registered in Swabi City cop shoppe against unidentified persons.
The people in the neighborhood said that attackers entered the seminary by scaling the boundary wall and broke the lock of a room where copies of the Holy Korans were put in cupboards.
They deliberately used Holy Books as fire starters, it wasn't just that they were within reach of the flames? Nothing need be done, then, as Allah Himself will surely punish the evil-doers.
Soon after the incident, heavy contingent of police reached the site. Two persons, who reportedly saw the arsonists, were taken into custody for investigation.
Police officials said that they would trace the accused soon. Exemplary punishment would be awarded to them, they added.
The news of the incident spread like jungle fire in the area and hundreds of enraged people erupted into the streets. They demanded early arrest of the accused and exemplary punished to them. They threatened to stage protest demonstrations across the district if police failed to arrest the accused.
The district administration officials also visited the seminary and pledged stern action against the perpetrators.
Provincial deputy secretary of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl Maulana Fazal Ali and district chief of Jamaat-i-Islami Saeed Zada visited the seminary and said that both the parties would hold a joint protest demonstration against the incident on Friday.
The leaders of the religious parties rejected the official version and claimed that about 200 copies of the Holy Koran were burnt. "We visited the seminary and saw everything. The administration should immediately arrest the people involved in the ignominious act," said Mr Ali.
Must've been atheists, desirous of forcing the girls into secular state schools. No Muslim would do such a thing, after all.

[Iran Press TV] Dozens of Iraqis have been killed and scores of others maimed by multiple kabooms targeting the Iraqi police in the northern city of Kirkuk. File under "Osama bin Laden Memorial Murders"...
The initial twin bombing attacks on Thursday killed at least 27 people, most of them coppers, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
A third blast occurred 45 minutes later on a road that led to a local hospital. The triple bombings left at least 89 people injured.
Colonel Aras Mohammed, a senior police official in the city, also sustained injuries after an explosive-laden vehicle was blown up near his convoy.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Nunzio had his hands full of angry bleached blonde... a woman and a holy man were also killed and 10 others maimed in separate bombings in Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... and the central city of Baquba.
Militancy and terrorism continue to be rampant in Iraq eight years after US-led invasion of the oil-rich country, despite the persisting presence of at least 47,000 US troops there.
In 2003, Washington led its allies in the occupation of Iraq under the pretext that the country was then in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
However, The essential However... it was later found that not only the country did not harbor any such arms, but that American and British leaders, who heavily promoted and participated in the hugely destructive military action, knew about the non-existence of WMD's in Iraq.
Over one million Iraqis have suffered violent deaths as a result of the occupation, according to a study conducted by the prestigious British polling group, Opinion Research Business (ORB).
About 5 million children have also been orphaned as violence has been surging continuously, ORB said.

There was a general let down around the household, The famous Sock Puppet of Doom was holding out for Bibi to beat BO with a chair but I told him that diplomatic protocol being what it was fisticuffs and blunt objects were on on the agenda...rats...
It is time for the empty suit to quit reading revolutionary drivel and islamic propoganda and start to really delve into the machinations of the Middle East...I think he will find most of the backwardness of that society/religious cult is self inflicted from Arafat all the way back to Tamerlane and the feud over the succession to mohammed.
I am hereafter refusing to capitalize moslem, islam or mohammed or any of those terms as they do not represent anything but a extremely violent cult.

Four suspected terrorists militants were killed in a gunfight with state security force in Yala province early Friday morning.
At about 6:30 a.m. the joint military ranger and border patrol police force surrounded a house in a local village believed to be a hideout of a core member and supporters of an insurgent group.
The authorities urged the terrorists militants to surrender by loudspeaker, but they responded with a hail of bullets. The joint force returned fire. The gun battle lasted about 10 minutes.
When the scene cleared, authorities found four dead terrorists militants and seized two AK47 rifles, a .38 caliber pistol and ammunition.
The three dead terrorists militants were identified as Arsae Hulu, 30, Masawbee Arsue, 28, and Muhammad Orlee, 28. The last one has yet to be identified.
Arsae Hulu was wanted on a warrant for being involved in several shootings and bomb attacks in Yala.
[Straits Times] INDONESIAN police said on Thursday they were searching for 15 boom jackets prepared by a terrorist cell that carried out an attack on a police mosque last month, wounding 30 people.
Information gathered from suspects jugged in relation to the attack suggested another 15 vest bombs were circulating somewhere in the massive archipelago, police said.
'We are still looking for 15 bombs,' police front man Anton Bachrul Alam told news hounds in Cirebon, West Java, where the mosque was attacked on April 15.
Twenty-two boom jackets had already been seized as part of the ongoing investigation, he said.
Police also released a video made by the bomber, Muhammad Syarif, 32, whom they allege was linked to several beturbanned goon networks including Jemaah Ansharut Tauhid, founded by radical holy manAbu Bakar Bashir ... Leader of the Indonesian Mujahedeen Council and proprietor of the al-Mukmin madrassah in Ngruki. The spriritual head of Jemaah Islamiya, which he denies exists. Bashir was jugged and then released in the wake of the 2002 Bali bombings, which he blamed on a conspiracy among the U.S., Israel, and Australia ...
Police have tossed in the calaboose at least 25 suspects linked to Syarif, who was killed instantly when he set off his device in a prayer room at a police compound.

[Straits Times] A BOMB blast on a train near Myanmar's capital left at least two people dead on Wednesday during a visit by a US envoy for talks with the new government, a Myanmar official said.
'It was a time bomb. We assume KNU snuffies plotted it,' said the government official, referring to the Karen National Union whose armed wing has been fighting the government in a decades-old ethnic insurgency.
'Two people including a woman were killed and seven others were maimed in the kaboom,' which occurred in the early evening in Tatkone township in the Naypyidaw area, said the official, who did not want to be named.
The kaboom came shortly after Joseph Yun, the deputy US assistant secretary for East Asia and Pacific affairs, arrived in Myanmar for talks with officials including Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin in Naypyidaw. Mr Yun is also expected to meet with democracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi during his four-day visit to the military-dominated country.
US President Barack B.O. Obama's administration in 2009 launched a drive to engage with Myanmar's junta, which in March this year made way for a nominally civilian government after the first election in 20 years.
Washington has voiced disappointment with the results of the dialogue and refused to ease sanctions after the November poll, which was marred by complaints of intimidation and fraud.
