Militant groups in Pakistan reunite to overthrow the government

2020-08-21

[KhaamaPress] Three bully boy groups in Pakistain got reunited to jointly fight against the Pakistain government, Washington Post reported.

Jamaat-ul-Ahrar

...”Assembly of the Free”, they were very active purveyors of suicide and car bombs inside Pakistan after the 2014 split, sometimes teamed with ISIS-K. They slowed down in 2018...

and Hezb-ul-Ahrar

...split from JuA in 2018 over JuA’s ungentlemanly behaviour and choice of targets. Shortly after the split they released their very own soundtrack...

were the two splinter groups that split years ago from Tahreek Taliban
Taliban

...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Pakistain(TTP) announced rejoining TTP on Monday.

The news was confirmed by the TTP spokesperson on Monday saying the leaders of the two factions have officially announced their allegiance to Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud, the TTP Chief.

TTP front man Mohammad Khurasani said that Maulvi Omar Khalid Khurasani
...intel chief of the Jamaatul Ahrar TTP splinter group, or whatever it's calling itself these days...
, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar leader and Mukkarram Khurasani aka Omar Khurasani, the chief of Hezb-ul-Ahrar pleaded allegiance to the TTP chief Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud aka Abu Asim Mansoor.

Khurasani did not disclose when and where the meeting had taken place, but Taliban sources told The News that they had gathered somewhere between the Pakistain and Afghanistan border.

The bully boy groups combined when the Pak Army announced operations against the murderous Moslems were a huge success.

Pak officials said in a formal statement that operations included clearance of 46000 square kilometers of terrorist areas resulting in 18000 dead murderous Moslems and seizure of 40 tons of explosives, VOA reported.

Golly. That sounds like an awful lot — what are the real numbers?

TTP and Jamaat-ul-Ahrar are both included in the American blacklist, it is noted in UN analytical that Pak murderous Moslems pose threat to both Afghanistan and Pakistain with an estimated 6000 to 6500 forces that some of them have 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....
Khurasan.

However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
Pakistain has accused Afghanistan many times before for covertly supporting the insurgency in Pakistain which Afghan officials deny these accusations instead accuses Islamabad of sheltering and supporting terrorism waging deadly insurgencies in Afghanistan.

The new alliance is said to have been a fresh set of threats to Pakistain that can lead to more attacks over the governmental troops and suicide kabooms.

Related: Long War Journal suggests this reunification is Al Qaeda’s idea, and reminds us that the TTP’s international notoriety is based on the failure of Faisal Shahzad (Faisal the fizzlebomber) to blow up Times Square on May Day, 2010.

65 Daesh Takfiris killed in Iran missile attack: IRGC

2017-06-21

[Iran Press TV] At least 65 ISIS terrorists, including several high-ranking intelligence commanders, were killed in Iran's recent missile attack against the Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
group’s targets in eastern Syria, according to a statement by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Four ISIS positions were struck in the missile attack, according to the statement sent to PressTV on Tuesday.

The IRGC fired six medium-range ground-to-ground ballistic missiles into ISIS bases in Syria’s Dayr al-Zawr on Sunday in retaliation for twin terrorist attacks in the Iranian capital Tehran, which killed 17 people and injured over 50 others.

A ISIS weapons and munitions cache in northern Dayr al-Zawr was "precisely struck and completely annihilated," the statement said, adding that several tanks, military vehicles and suicide cars and a huge number of long-range missiles were destroyed. It added that six ISIS Takfiris were killed and 10 injured in the attack.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream...
a ISIS command and operation center in the eastern Syrian city of al-Muhassan was also targeted, which the IRGC described as "one of the key and crucial ISIS centers in the region." In the missile strike, more than 15 Kazakh, Saudi and Afghan bad boyz were potted, including senior Saudi ISIS commander, Sa’ad al-Qosaibi, the statement said.

In a strike on a ISIS gathering center in the city of al-Mayadin, east of Dayr al-Zawr, 27 bad boyz were potted, including three Libyans, and a number of others injured.

Some 17 bad boyz were potted and a number of others severely injured in an attack on a military hospital in al-Mayadin. The casualties included Tunisians, Iraqi and Chinese nationals.

Earlier reports said on Tuesday that six Libyan ISIS commanders were killed in the IRGC attack on al-Mayadin; two of whom have been identified as Abu Asim al-Libyai and Abdel Kader al-frani, better known as Abu Harith.

On June 7, gunnies mounted almost simultaneous assaults on Iran’s Parliament and the Mausoleum of the late Founder of the Islamic Theocratic Republic Imam Khomeini. The ISIS Takfiri terrorist group grabbed credit for the assaults.

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan said on Tuesday the IRGC’s missile strike on ISIS was just a small part of the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s reaction to the "indiscriminate" attacks by the terror group on the Iranian soil.

"Iran’s defense doctrine is based on the principle of active and effective deterrence and responds to any possible regional and trans-regional threats in the strongest way," Dehqan said.

Top Islamic State figure makes appearance in Ramadi: Residents, expert

2015-05-29

[AlAhram] A top Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
figure has made an appearance in the Iraqi city of Ramadi, residents said, and a security expert identified him as "the blind judge" who ranks second in terms of religious authority within the Death Eater group.

Residents of Ramadi said a blind man with one hand, whose head was shrouded, had delivered a speech in the Anbar quiet provincial capital's main mosque after evening prayer on Wednesday.

They did not know who he was, but recognised him to be a senior figure because he was flanked by a large number of guards and said his accent indicated he was Iraqi.

Iraqi security expert Hisham al-Hashimi, who closely tracks the ultra-hardline Islamic State myrmidons, identified the man as Ali Attiya al-Jubouri, also known as Abu Asim, or "the blind judge of the Islamic State".

"This holy man who appeared in Ramadi yesterday is very famous," Hashimi said. "He is the second highest religious authority after His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
, and the fifth man in the organization of Daesh." Daesh is an Arabic name for Islamic State.

Ramadi was overrun by Islamic State on May 17 in the most significant setback for Iraqi government forces in almost a year.

Son of the spiritual head of the Egyptian Islamic Group killed in Afghanistan

2011-10-15

The Egyptian Islamic Group announced on its website that the son of its spiritual leader, the 'Blind Sheikh,' who is in a U.S. jail for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan.

The group said that Ahmed Omar Abdul Rahman, who is also known as Saif, was killed in an American air bombing from an unmanned plane on the frontlines in Afghanistan, according to the translation by the SITE Intelligence Group for the brief statement that was released on the groups website.

Two of the jailed sheikhs sons are known to have developed close ties to al-Qaeda.

One son, Asim Abdul Rahman, who is also known as Abu Asim, is reported to have signed onto al Qaeda's International Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders back in 1998. He is also rumored to have been granted citizenship by the Taliban after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Algeria: Al-Qaeda mufti 'sacked for opposing suicide attacks'

2008-10-09

(AKI) - The leader of Al-Qaeda's North African branch has sacked its Islamic scholar or mufti, Rashid Zerami, for opposing suicide bombings in Algeria, local daily Ennahar reports. Zerami clashed over the issue with the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb's leader, Abdel Malik Droukedel, Ennahar said. The paper cited the testimony of an unnamed Al-Qaeda turncoat who is now in police custody.

Besides the use of suicide bombers, Droukedel and Zerami also clashed over Al-Qaeda's recent strategy of kidnapping Algerian businessmen or their relatives to obtain a ransom, especially in the northern coastal Kabylia area. Droukedel has replaced Zerami with Abu Asim, a former leader of the hardline Algerian Salafite Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which in 2006 joined the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb. Zerami, also known as Abu al-Hasan al-Rashid headed Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb's religious committee and was in charge of armed combat.

More on the Captured Emirs of Ansar al Sunna

2006-12-07

Two points that make me curious:
1) How did we manage to roll up such a large group of similarly placed people?
2) How do we know that these people are what we say?
The answer to both questions is in who 'ratted them out' - is he reliable or not? And if he is, I can't imagine he's not suspected by whatever forces are remaining in that organization, so either we've taken him into protection or he's taking over that organization.

BAGHDAD, Iraq On Wednesday, the Government of Iraq released the names and photos of several suspected senior-level Ansar al Sunna emirs who were captured by Coalition Forces during a series of raids in mid-November.

The AAS network is responsible for improvised explosive device attacks and suicide attacks on Iraqi government, Coalition Forces and Iraqi civilians. The AAS network is also responsible for multiple kidnappings, small arms attacks and other crimes in the central and northern part of Iraq.

One terrorist emir, Abu Mohammed aka Ismail, AAS Emir of Yusifiyah was killed during a raid late November.

The suspected Ansar al Sunna emirs who were captured are:

National level
- Ramadan Muhammad Salih Ahmad (Bilbas) aka Abu Mustafa, AAS Emir of Iraq. Abu Mustafa is a founding member of AAS.
- Taha Ahmad Pir-Dawud Ahmad (Surchi) , aka Hajji Said, Senior AAS representative and al-Qaida facilitator.
- Adnan Abdallah Alaywi Muhammad (al-Ithawi) &ID=174278" target=_blank>Adnan Abdallah Alaywi Muhammad (al-Ithawi) , aka Abu Jaffar, AAS Secretary. He was Abu Mustafas personal assistant and he was responsible for arranging AAS senior-level meetings.

Regional level
- Hatim Abd-al-Ghafar Muslim Muhammad (al Shimar) , aka Abu Taha, AAS Emir of Al Qaim and Western al Anbar. He allegedly was a Colonel in the Iraqi Army before the war.
- Abd-al-Basit Abd-al-Razzaq Hasan Ali (al-Abbasi) , aka Abu Asim, AAS Emir of Tikrit.
- Ali Hasayn Ali Abdallah (Zandi) , aka Abu Bandar, AAS Emir of Baqubah.
- Amjad Abd-al-Sattar Muhammad Ali (al-Tai) , aka Abu Najila, AAS Emir of Ramadi and Eastern al Anbar.
- Said Jasim Muhammad Khudayyir al-Jadid (al-Juwaynat) , aka Abu Sayf, AAS Emir of Bayji.
- Husayn Khudayyir Abbas Majid (al-Zubaydi) , aka Abu Husayn, AAS Emir of Bazayiz.
- Salih Khudayyir Salman Jadi (al-Juburi) , aka Sajad, AAS Emir of Fallujah.

This is another step closer to defeating al-Qaida in Iraq and helping establish a safe and peaceful Iraq. Coalition Forces will continue to target not only senior al-Qaida in Iraq leaders, but all associated terrorist movements like Ansar Al Sunna. They will be identified, captured and prosecuted for their crimes.

So who's left to ordain their new priests, or however they work it?

Al-Qaeda goes on trial in Yemen

2006-02-02

Yemen is preparing to try a number of prisoners who are accused of being associated with al-Qaeda terrorist activities in Yemen and abroad. The most notable prosecution involves Muhammad Hamdi al-Ahdal (also known as Abu Asim al-Makki) and his associate Ghalib al-Zaidi, who have been held since December 2003. Al-Ahdal is described as a veteran of fighting in Chechnya and Afghanistan (where he lost a leg) before returning to Yemen to conduct terrorist operations. He is a former deputy to Sinan al-Harthi, an al-Qaeda operative killed by an American drone aircraft in 2002.

U.S. lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights visited Yemen last week to meet with families of the men being held at the Guantanamo Bay prison. A lawsuit is being prepared on behalf of 60 Yemeni citizens still held in the Cuba-based prison. On January 23, it was announced that four men released from Guantanamo a year ago will be tried on charges of being al-Qaeda members. It had been widely expected that the men would be released for lack of evidence. A fifth suspect released from Guantanamo is being tried in a separate action on charges of drug trafficking. Karama Sa'id Khamsan was arrested near the Afghanistan/Pakistan border by Pakistani police and was turned over to U.S. forces in 2001, although it is now alleged that he was there to take delivery of two tons of hashish bound for Yemen (Gulf Times, January 24, 2006).

In addition, 19 people suspected of planning the assassination of U.S. officials and planning other terrorist acts in Aden have been delivered for prosecution. The 19 are accused of having returned from jihad in Iraq with orders from Iraqi al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to begin operations in Yemen.

There are conflicting reports about the whereabouts of Yemeni businessman and member of the ruling General People's Congress Abdul Sala'am al-Hilah. Last week, Amnesty International reported that al-Hilah was now in Guantanamo Bay, but the Yemeni Foreign Ministry claimed he was still in a prison in Afghanistan. Al-Hilah told Amnesty that he was kidnapped in Egypt in September 2002 before being transported to prisons in Azerbaijan and Afghanistan (Yemen Observer, January 21, 2006).

Also at Guantanamo, another Yemeni was put on trial by U.S. military authorities this month, one of the first two prisoners to face a military commission. In a 10 minute speech before the commission, Ali Hamza Ahmad Sulayman al-Bahlul denounced American support for Israel, declined the services of his court-appointed U.S. military lawyer (who faced four prosecutors) and declared a boycott of the entire proceedings. Al-Bahlul was a media specialist for Osama bin Laden who created a video lionizing the al-Qaeda attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000. Additional charges of conspiring to carry out terrorist activities means al-Bahlul could face a life sentence. The trial has been adjourned until May 15.

The government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh has been one of the United States' staunchest allies in the war on terrorism. Yet, while the Yemeni government cracks down on Sunni terrorism, it faces renewed fighting from Zaidi Shiite rebels in the mountainous north of the country. The insurgents, who ambushed an army column on January 19, are believed to be ex-followers of preacher Husayn al-Huthi, who was killed along with many supporters in battles with security forces in 2004. The renewed attacks are sure to disappoint the government, which has made concerted efforts at reconciliation with the restive North.

Another Emir of Mosul dances with worms

2005-11-04

On Tuesday, the Iraqi government said that security forces found the body of Abd al-Satar, who they described as âa key al-Qaeda memberâ and the current âemirâ of Mosul, the countryâs main northern city. âThe security forces conducted a raid and found Abd al-Satarâs body on the truck with three other dead terrorists,â the government said.

According to the government, three other âemirsâ of Mosul were captured or killed in June, August and September. The US military also announced a series of air strikes âagainst three al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist safe housesâ around the far western Iraqi town of Husaybah, near the border with Syria. The strike reportedly killed Abu Asim, described as âa senior al-Qaeda in Iraq foreign fighter facilitator who was recently brought in to replace another facilitator thought to have been killed by Coalition Forces.â

Muslims Face Leadership Crisis: Azmi

2005-09-08

A senior Indian Muslim leader has warned that if the community does not remain united, its bargaining power will be eroded. âThe worst example of Muslim disunity is reflected in the countryâs Muslim Personal Law Board, a highly respected body. Itâs now opposed by some so-called Muslim leaders,â Abu Asim Azmi, Rajya Sabha (parliamentâs upper house) member and Samajwadi Party leader said. âIndian Muslims do not have bargaining power and thatâs why they donât get what they desire,â Azmi said. He stressed that his partyâs rule in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh has restored confidence among the community.

âPolice is no more raiding madrasas and no one now alleges that Madrasas are a breeding ground for ISI agents,â Azmi said. In the post-Babri Masjid demolition scenario, Muslims are âfrustrated and directionless,â he said, adding that the Muslim educated class is also creating confusion among the community. âMajority of them are not aware of ground reality. They may have science (academic) degrees but they donât have knowledge of social and political problems. This is causing social and political imbalances,â he said and emphasized that the knowledge of history is a âmustâ for every Muslim student.

About the Babri Masjid issue, he said the historical mosque should be rebuilt. âIf justice is still alive, the mosque should be built at once and the government should apologize to the Muslim community for its demolition. This alone will wash away the blood stains on the face of secular democratic India.â

Translation of a letter from Abu Asim al-Qusaymi al Yemeni to "the Sheik."

2005-05-09

Found it linked in this news release from Centcom. They also have the Arabic original, for those lucky few who understand Arabic.

Date: April 27, 2005

In the name of God the most merciful, the most compassionate.

A special message to the Sheik Abu Ahmad, may God protect and save him.

Thank God, God of the Universe who stated in his generous book I assure the believers a guaranteed victory; he who honors those who obey him and he who disgraces those who disobey him until the judgment day; may peace be upon the messenger that was sent as a mercy to the world, the prophet who had submitted the message and had struggled for the sake of God until the last moment of his life. So may God bless him with peace on his family, friends and followers until the judgment day; thereafter.

The Almighty God said "those who are believers beware of God and do not die unless you are Moslem." And, the Prophet had stated "the religion is an advice, we asked him, to how may it be? He replied, for the sake of God, the Prophet, the Holy Book, the Moslem Imams and the public." He said "if you leave Jihad then God will take away the mercy from you."

I advise myself firstly then I advise you [Sheik] to beware of God in secret and in the open. Do not be afraid of anybody. I advise you not to be stopped by anything from practicing Jihad for the sake of God and that is by depending absolutely on God. Whoever satisfies God rather than people, God will satisfy. All the Moslem nation is waiting to have an Islamic state implementing the rules of God, and are waiting for those men who are going to protect their dignity that are being abused everyday.

What has happened between myself and my brothers is a crime that cannot be forgiven, but God will eventually punish the oppressor. I could swear by God that you are asking about us and our situation in here; the morale has weakened and lines of the Mujahidin have become separated due to some leaders' actions, God does not accept such actions, and that will delay the victory. We do have big mistakes where some of us have been discarded.

To conclude what has happened with us, he said either you carry out a martyr operation or go back to your family. After, we were told this was an order from the Sheik. Indeed, some of the brothers had returned back, some were recorded as martyred and the rest were hanging around and did not know what to do, besides they were humiliated and immorally treated. Who is to blame, should it be the oppressor or the oppressed? We have brothers that were tortured and jailed. They are harmless and nobody is meeting with them or asks about them. It is unlike the case in Fallujah where you used to come and visit us, and we enjoyed your party. The situation has changed dramatically and that is not acceptable to God. The most important thing Sheik, is your existence is a thorn in the mouth of the Americans as well as the traitors, and may God protect you.

The most important issue here is, do not hear from just one side, even if that person was close to you. But hear from all sides so the facts will become clear to you.

We have leaders that are not capable of being good leaders. We are not accusing them without reason but we have tested them and found them incapable.

Thank God, Sheik, please test those who are underneath you. Some of them are in a rush, some are unfair and some have other issues.

My last request to you Sheik is that I need to meet with you to share a lot of unknown issues. And, to be honest with you, I really do not trust anyone anymore that says he is coming from your side. We have suffered a lot, but thank God. I ask the Great God to make the religion victorious and to bless the Mujahidin anywhere in the world and to disgrace the infidels, destroy America and its allies soon without any delay.

May grace be upon Mohammed and his family and friends until the judgment day. I attest that there is one God and I ask for his forgiveness.
