UNITED NATIONS ‘WORK FROM HOME’ PROGRAM EXTENDED – The UN’s ‘work from home’ program was set to expire yesterday but a UN spokesman has stated the program will continue until a new strategy can be developed and put in place. Many critics of the United Nations' engagement with the Taliban pounced on the announcement as proof it had accepted the Taliban’s bans and would continue to implement programs without women. We assess that such claims are irresponsible and go against all stakeholders’ clearly espoused efforts to repeal the ignorant bans on work and education. It will likely take some time to figure out a way forward and we believe that Islamic organizations such as the OIC will be asked to take a more direct role.
MINISTERS OF DEFENSE AND INTERIOR REPORTEDLY PERTURBED OVER NEW APPOINTMENTS – Sources in Kabul say that many of the mid-level and senior leaders in both ministries have been grumbling about the Supreme Leader’s new appointments in the military and across several Provinces. The perception is that Hibatullah is attempting to insulate himself from Yaqoob and Haqqani with those loyal to him. Other sources downplayed the appointments and said they were based on merit alone and were widely supported by the Taliban. Haqqani, in remarks made at the introduction ceremony for the new Governor of Kandahar, seemed to issue more remonstrations against autocratic power and implied that the Supreme Leader draws his power from the people and warned that failing to take them into account would only arouse suspicions. It seems that the Minister of the Interior is likely to continue his criticism of Kandaharian policy.
INDIAN TROOPS BATTLE MILITANTS IN JAMMU & KASHMIR, 2 DEAD – In one of the first counter-terrorism operations to take place since the deadly Poonch terror bombings, the Indian Army targeted several reputed terrorist hideouts in the Kandi Forest.

Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... in December 2016, more than 140 people—mostly students—were killed.
In addition, in a separate attack, six Pak soldiers were killed by murderous Moslems in an exchange of fire in the tribal area of the northwestern region bordering Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, ...back at the laboratory the smoke and fumes had dispersed, to reveal an ominous sight... three murderous Moslems were also killed in the incident, but the army did not provide further details.

An encounter broke out between bandidosturbans and security forces in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... on Friday morning, officials said.They said that the security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the Kesari area of Kandi Police Station following inputs about the presence of terrorists.

[Shafaq News] In a successful intelligence operation, the Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) reported on Friday that they have captured Mustafa Khaled Muhammad, also known as Abu Talha,
...one of many who chose that nom de guerre...
a high-profile terrorist, outside of Iraq.
Pulling a Mossad, are they?
Abu Talha is a member of ISIS's Diwan al-Jund (Soldiers Department) and the Abu Laith Brigade Ansari in Nineveh state.
Idle hands being the Devil’s workshop, he has kept himself busy.
The operation to track Abu Talha was coordinated with an intelligence agency in another country.
Ooooooohhh — how mysterious!
The Agency did not mention the other country but described it as a "brotherly country to Iraq."
That precludes appears to preclude both Mossad and the CIA.
After his capture, Abu Talha was brought back to Iraq and handed over to the judicial authorities for further investigation and prosecution.
Maybe Syria, Iran, or Syrian Kurdistan? Turkey would have arrested him themselves, then handed him over with great fanfare.

(2) Abu Talha Al-Libi. Killed near Sabha in southern Libya.
(3) Abu Talha (Muhammad Khalaf Shakar), Captured Mosul 2005.
I'm sure there are others.
[Shafaq News] Ottoman Turkish warplanes launched Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Friday on areas in Mount Kara, north of Duhok, targeting sites of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
According to a military source who spoke with Shafaq News Agency, the bombing was focused on the vicinity of the village of Spindar in Kara Mountain, overlooking the Amadiya district.
The PKK, which has been engaged in a long-running armed conflict with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... , is designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... The Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces have conducted cross-border military operations against the PKK in Northern Iraq since the 1980s. Since 2019, Turkey has initiated operations codenamed Claw, including Claw Eagle and Tiger in 2020 and Claw-Lighting and Thunderbolt in 2021.
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Friday announced that two of its fighters, who were guarding a camp hosting people affiliated 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.... (ISIS) in Hasaka province, were killed by a Ottoman Turkish drone.
The suspected Ottoman Turkish aerial attack took place in Hasaka province’s al-Qayrawan village, targeting "the forces who were guarding al-Hol camp," said the SDF in a statement, referring to the notorious camp hosting over 50,000 people - mostly women and kiddies - majority of whom are accused of having ties to ISIS.
"As a result, two of our fighters were martyred," said the SDF, blaming The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... for similar recent attacks in the area.
Ankara has not immediately commented on the incident.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said three SDF members, including a commander, were killed in the "Ottoman Turkish drone attack."
According to the UK-based war monitor, Turkey has carried out 13 aerial attacks against Kurdish forces in northeast Syria (Rojava) in the last five months, killing 11 fighters and five civilians. The SDF claimed in their statement that the purpose of these attacks is to help ISIS "reorganise" in the area.
To be fair, a good portion of the so-called Syrian National Army — Turkey-supported paramilitaries based on the Syrian side of the Turkish border — are former ISIS and other jihadi gunnies, many of the rest being Turkmen from outside Turkey. Something like this could look to the Turkish idiots like a perfect recruiting opportunity.
Turkey accuses the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), the backbone of the SDF, of being the Syrian wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), an gang struggling for Kurdish rights in Turkey and named a terror group by Ankara. The YPG denies the charge.
The SDF is the main ally of the US-led global coalition against ISIS in Rojava and has carried out several raids against the group in recent weeks, arresting several suspects, including big shots.
