[DAWN] A jacket wallah believed to be as young as 12 struck Kabul's heavily fortified diplomatic quarter on Tuesday and killed at least five people and wounding another 20.
It was the first attack targeting the Afghan capital's so-called "Green Zone" since a massive truck bomb destroyed the area on May 31, killing or wounding hundreds.
A western security source told AFP the attacker appeared to have been targeting workers leaving an Afghan defence ministry facility inside the heavily protected zone.
Health ministry front man Ismail Kawoosi told AFP that at least five people had been killed and 20 maimed, including women.
"The suicide kaboom was carried out by an underage bomber, a boy we think 13 or 15 years old, killing at least four and wounding over a dozen more civilians," interior ministry front man Najib Danish told AFP.
A police front man said the attacker may have been as young as 12.
Defence ministry front man Dawlat Waziri said the bomber "made it through the first checkpoint but was stopped at the second checkpoint and detonated".
Thank goodness for checkpoints. But the first one -- was he lazy or bribed?

[Libya Observer] A big shot from Majabra tribe and one of Benghazi’s elders and dignitaries has been released after 24 days of abduction by a militia group in Benghazi.
Tribal leader Mahmud Almajibri broke his silence and said in a video statement posted on social media on Friday that his kidnappers told him that they were affiliated with "the army".
He clarified that he was kidnapped on October 04 by an gang led by Belgasim al-Badri and Mohammed al-Amroni while he was on his way home.
"I was kept in a cell that was not even suitable for animals," he said.
"There was no bathroom, no mattress, and no blanket". He further added.
During his horrifying ordeal, the kidnappers tortured him and threatened him with rape, According to his testimony.
"They asked me to relinquish my properties to them and then they asked for a bribe in return for my release," he indicated, but he didn’t say whether the ransom was paid for his freedom.
Almajibri revealed that there are many businessmen and traders inside that prison without any charges.
He appealed to Dignity Operation top commander Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... and Chief of Staff of House of Representatives Abdelraziq al-Nathori to intervene and stop what he referred to as "the farce".

[PRESSTV] Egypt’s military says it has killed "a large number of terrorist elements" in the country’s Western Desert after its warplanes conducted Arclight airstrikes on krazed killers’ positions, destroying a number of explosive-laden vehicles.
Colonel Tamer el-Rifai announced the news in a statement on Tuesday, adding that the aerial raid had been carried out in a rugged area some 80 kilometers southwest of the capital Cairo.
In aerial footage posted by the country’s military, three four-wheel-drive vehicles, allegedly belonging to a suspected terror group, were targeted after many gunnies got off them and started running in all directions. Rifai further said that the scene was still being assessed and the casualty count was incomplete.
Elsewhere in his statement, the army front man asserted that those targeted were suspected of having been involved in a bushwhack on Egyptian police less than two weeks ago around 135 kilometers southwest of Cairo, a rare flare-up outside the restive Sinai Peninsula. The Egyptian Interior Ministry said at the time that 16 police bit the dust in the attack.
However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... security sources claim that more than 50 were killed in the September 20 incident. The attack sparked huge public anger in Egypt, with many questioning President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s success in fighting bully boyz across Egypt.

For a change of pace: "RAB officers were taken to a deserted airfield at 3 AM by Sabbir. There they..."
[DW] Belgian prosecutors say the men were charged with terror-related offenses in connection with an attack aboard a high-speed train that was thwarted by passengers. The suspects were jugged Please don't kill me! after raids in Brussels.
Belgium's Federal Prosecutor's Office said that the suspects, identified as Mohammed B. and Youssef S., were "indicted for participation in the activities of a terrorist group,"

The raids were part of a terrorism investigation into a 2015 attack on a high-speed Thalys train between Brussels and Gay Paree, prosecutors said.
At least two of the raids took place in the Belgian capital's Molenbeek district. "Neither explosives nor weapons were found," prosecutors added.

[ABCNews] A 19-year-old Syrian man was arrested today, suspected of planning a “major terrorist attack” that would kill and injure as many people as possible, according to German authorities.
The man, who was taken into custody in the northern German city of Schwerin, was "strongly suspected of having been planning an Islamist-motivated attack" using "highly explosive" materials, the German Federal Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.
The suspect was “in the process” of preparing the attack, the prosecutor’s office said. He had been planning since at least July to "detonate a bomb in a crowd in Germany" with the goal of "killing and injuring as many as possible," public prosecutor Frauke Koehler said.
“Today, German security services successfully averted a major terrorist attack in Germany,” German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said. “The operation took place at exactly the right moment. Late enough to secure the necessary proof and early enough to securely prevent any danger.”
Police officers were seen at a housing complex where the suspect was arrested, and de Maiziere said searches were also carried out in Hamburg, where he said the suspect “spent a lot of time.”
According to prosecutors, German authorities knew that the suspect had ordered bomb-making chemicals online. They said that during the raid today, authorities also found a high explosive called acetone. The interior minister said this final ingredient indicated the suspect “most likely intended to make bombs.”
A police officer seizes a pile of papers on the balcony of a suspect during raids in Schwerin, Germany, Oct. 31, 2017. German authorities arrested a 19-year-old Syrian citizen for allegedly planning a bomb attack.
According to the prosecutor’s office, the suspect had been searching social media for directions on how to build bombs and communicating with people known to be on the “jihadist spectrum.” He had established contact with people who called themselves “soldiers of the caliphate, i.e. members of ISIS,” according to the prosecutors’ statement.
It was unclear to what degree those contacts intensified the suspect’s decision to launch the attack, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said that the “initial estimate” did not seem to point to the suspect himself being a member of a terrorist group, specifically ISIS, as it is defined by German law. Prosecutors said they had been watching the suspect for some time and do not believe he had any accomplices in planning the attack.

Who'll give me odds that he's not 19 and not Syrian.
As I recall, something like three fourths of those who claimed to be sub-adult are not, while the number falsely claiming to be Syrian is large but unknown, since so many had thrown away their passports and other identification before entering Europe, or acquired false or real Syrian passports they were not entitled to.
[ABC7NY] A man in a rented pickup truck mowed down pedestrians and cyclists along a busy bike path in New York City Tuesday, killing at least eight and injuring 13 others in what the mayor called "a particularly cowardly act of terror."
The driver was shot in abdomen the by police and taken into custody after jumping out of the truck with what turned out to be a fake gun in each hand and shouting "Allahu Akbar!" officials said. His condition was not immediately released.
The incident happened just after 3 p.m. ET on the bike path that runs along the West Side Highway in Lower Manhattan.
NYPD officials said a truck driven by a 29-year-old man entered the West Street pedestrian/bike path a few blocks north of Chambers Street. It proceeded to strike multiple people on the path.
The driver barreled along the bike path for the equivalent of about 14 blocks, or around eight-tenths of a mile, before slamming into a small yellow school bus.
The driver exited the vehicle displaying imitation firearms -- a pellet gun and a paintball gun -- and was shot by NYPD officers, Sherlocks said.
Video showed him running through the street, likely before he was stopped by NYPD.
The mayhem and the burst of police gunfire set off panic in the neighborhood and left the pavement strewn with mangled bicycles and bodies that were soon covered with sheets.
"I saw a lot of blood over there. A lot of people on the ground," said Chen Yi, an Uber driver.
The suspect is in jug. Multiple law enforcement officials tell ABC News that the suspect In custody is identified as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov. His drivers license shows an address in Tampa, Florida, but sources said he also a recent address in Paterson, New Jersey.
The sources added that Saipov left a note saying he had done the attack on behalf of ISIS.
One witness report is that the suspect yelled "Allah Akbar" after getting out of the vehicle, and that's what makes them believe it's terror-related.
"This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror aimed at innocent civilians, aimed at people going about their lives who had no idea what was about to hit them," Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
The truck is a white rental truck, which can be seen in this photo provided by NYPD.
A spokesperson for Home Depot confirmed that it's a truck that belongs to the retail chain:
"I can confirm it was a Home Depot rental truck. We'll be cooperating with authorities in their investigation. At this point you'll need to speak with them for any additional information."
Officials said this does not appear to be connected to any larger terror group or events. New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo said there is no ongoing threat in New York City, but New Yorkers should expect to see more security.
The FBI is working with the NYPD in the investigation.
Authorities say he came to the United States seven years ago from Uzbekistan under what is called the Diversity Visa Program, which offers a lottery for people from countries with few immigrants in America. Sources tell ABC News that in addition to an address in Tampa, he also lived in Ohio and most recently, in Paterson, New Jersey, where he lived with his wife and three children, according to a law enforcement official.
The Daily Mail is following the story here, and adds:
Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov immigrated to the US in 2010, has lived in Ohio and Florida, and currently resides in New Jersey.
Saipov has two trucking companies registered under his name, and also worked as an Uber driver.
One man who knew him said he was very friendly and good with kids, but feared having his photo taken.
He survived and is out of surgery. ISIS flags and notes pledging his allegiance were found in the truck he used.
Police are investigating a Home Depot in Passaic where Saipov is believed to have rented the truck.
An official who was briefed on the investigation told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named the suspect rented the van Tuesday afternoon at about 2 p.m., about an hour before the attack.
US media report that Saipov has a criminal record, however his record includes mostly traffic violations committed in Missouri and Pennsylvania.

Carrying fake guns. Reads like he was going for martyrdom status by getting shot during suicide by cop. He was an Uber driver for awhile. Don't you have to own a late model car and pass a background check? Where did he get the money for the late model car? He moved around quite a bit; Tampa, Ohio, NJ. He lived in a fairly nice building in Tampa. I'm thinking he had support. Schumer for one who put this damned diversity visa program in place.
The driver identified by law enforcement officials in Tuesday's New York City terror attack registered a business and briefly lived in Greater Cincinnati.
A Symmes Township family from Uzbekistan watched the Tuesday news of the attack in New York City with disbelief.
The suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, 29, now of Tampa, Florida, had stayed with them for two weeks in 2010 in the family’s townhouse at Brisben Place in Symmes Township.
“He was really calm,” said Dilnoza Abdusamatova, who was a teenager when Saipov stayed at her parents' townhouse. “He always used to work. He wouldn’t go to parties or anything. He only used to come home and rest and leave and go back to work.”
Saipov’s father in Uzbekistan asked Rustam Iskhakov to house Saipov while he tried to get his green card, said Abdusamatova, one of Iskhakov’s children. A U.S. official confirmed to The Associated Press details of the family's account of Saipov's immigration.
He didn’t stay for long, Abdusamatova said. He moved out of their home after two weeks and moved to Florida shortly thereafter at the invitation of a friend, she said.
Abdusamatova doesn’t remember what he did for a living while here, but public records show Saipov registered a business at the Symmes Township address in 2011.
The family was shocked to learn Saipov had a business registered to their address. Ohio Secretary of State records show Saipov registered "Sayf Motors Inc." in May 2011. A 2013 marriage certificate obtained by the USA TODAY Network lists Saipov's occupation as "truck driver."
During his time in Fort Myers, Florida, several years ago, Saipov was "a very good person," an acquaintance, Kobiljon Matkarov, told The New York Times.
"He liked the U.S. He seemed very lucky, and all the time, he was happy and talking like everything is OK. He did not seem like a terrorist, but I did not know him from the inside," Matkarov said. He said Saipov later moved to New Jersey and began driving for Uber. San Francisco-based Uber said he started over six months ago.
So worked long hours, couch surfed for the first few years -- a person could save a tidy sum that way.
Listening to the television news as I type: He is talking to police, and shows no remorse. Searches for ISIS on his laptop, but no indications of actual communication, so they're calling him a lone wolf. A knife was found in the truck, along with the note about ISIS. He is in the FBI data base, but no indication he was problematic.
#7
PJMedia's Morning Brief is on the story, quoting the Business Insider as reporting that Mr. Saipov came here via the State Department's Diversity Visa Lottery, which brings in about 55,000 people a year, and since became a permanent resident, and links to a Fox News report that Mr. Saipov's mosque, the Omar Mosque in Paterson, N.J., has been under NYPD surveillance since 2005 because they suspect "budding terrorist conspiracies."
#8
The fake guns were presumably an attempt at suicide by cop; since it was unsuccessful we will now have to endure years of trials and discussion on how racist we are to assume he is a bad person.
#9
Every single time Brennan is trotted out to say something reliably anti-Trump, there should be a right wing journalist there to ask "Do you pray for muzzlims like Saipov five times a day?"

Qaim (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi forces recaptured more areas from Islamic State militants on Tuesday as operations continue to retake the group’s last bastions in western Anbar.
The Joint Operations Command’s War Media Cell said the forces recaptured several villages near the town of Qaim besides the town’s “phosphate factory”.
According to the statement, troops became 13 kilometers away from central Qaim.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared Thursday the launch of operations to clear the towns of Rawa and Qaim, Islamic State’s last havens on the borders with Syria.
More from al-Manar
Iraqi forces on Tuesday battled up to the edge of Al-Qa’em, the largest town still held by the ISIL group in the country, as they pushed a final assault on the terrorists.
Iraq’s Joint Operations Command said government troops captured the village of Al-Obeidi, some 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Syrian border on the eastern outskirts of the town.
“ISIL fighters resisted the advance of the troops, but the majority retreated to positions in the center of Al-Qa’em,” it said in a statement.
Al-Qa’em and the surrounding pocket of barren desert territory along the Euphrates river is now the last remnant in the country of the so- called ‘caliphate’ ISIL declared after storming Iraq and Syria in 2014.
Iraq launched the offensive on the Al-Qa’em region — which also includes the smaller town of Rawa — on Thursday to finish off a punishing campaign that saw it force the terrorists out their major urban stronghold Mosul in July.
