Spain to sue citizen on charges of joining ISIS in Syria

2023-07-14

[NPASyria] Abdul Majid Abdul Bari, British citizen, is due to be sued in Madrid on Wednesday, facing charges of joining 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 Syria between 2013 and 2015.

Abdul Bari, 32, from west London, went on trial at Spain’s Audiencia Nacional criminal court for joining ISIS while visiting Syria between 2013 and 2015.

He is accused of publishing a grisly photo in August 2014 in which he can be seen posing with a severed head in the city of Raqqa, northern Syria.

Prosecutors, who are calling for a nine-year jail sentence, accused him of running "online scams" with two friends to fund "terrorist activities".

He was arrested in April 2020 in the southern town of Almería, Spain, several days after arriving by boat from Algeria.

Abdul Bari, originally from Maida Vale in London, was a British-Egyptian national but he was stripped of his UK citizenship because of his links to ISIS.

However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
he denied all the charges against him, saying it was not him in the photo with the severed head and claiming that he does not agree with ISIS and al-Qaeda ideology.

ISIS lost its final stronghold in Syria in March 2019. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), with the support of the US-led Global Coalition, defeated ISIS after fierce battles in the town of Baghouz in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, bringing an end to the so-called caliphate declared by the terrorist ISIS.

2021-10-06

[ToloNews] The Islamic Emirate late Monday announced 38 new members of the caretaker government, in military and civil positions.

The new recruitments include a political deputy for the prime minister, acting minister for the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled, deputy ministers, and commanders of corps.

In the meantime, the Islamic Emirate’s officials at the cultural commission said they believe that hiring experienced military people will be the first step to forming a powerful army in Afghanistan.

"We are forming a powerful army. Introducing corps’ leadership is the first step forward," said Rohullah Omar, a member of the cultural commission.

In the new list, the names of Afghanistan’s military corps have changed. Now "Mazar corps" is mentioned instead of Afghanistan’s 209 Shaheen Corps.

"We hope the new army can defend Afghanistan’s territorial integrity and respond to any possible movements by enemies and forces opposed to the current government," said Mohammad Sadeq Shinwari, a former military figure.

Names of some key members of the caretaker cabinet:

Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, Political Deputy for Prime Minister

Mullah Abdul Majid, acting Minister for the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled Affairs

Mawlawi Muti-ul Haq, the head of Afghan Red Islamic Thingy Society

Mawlawi Nooruddin Turabi Deputy Head of the Red Islamic Thingy Society

The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.

He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.

Uniformed Police to be Stationed in Kabul, former Afghan border police called back for Kabul airport

2021-09-13

[ToloNews] The current Taliban
Taliban

...mindless ferocity in a turban...
forces who are stationed in Kabul will soon be replaced with police forces of the former government and Taliban forces and all will have uniforms, the Taliban said on Sunday.

Anaamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban’s cultural commission, told TOLOnews that the current Taliban forces, who do not have uniforms, will be transferred from Kabul to military posts in the provinces.

Samangani, however, did not say how many police and Taliban forces will be deployed in Kabul.

"Police and uniformed forces who have received training and gained skills in their specific fields should soon take charge of maintaining Kabul security and start their jobs. After that, the Mujahideen who are stationed in different police departments and who do not have uniforms will be stationed in police headquarters and army corps (in the provinces)," Samangani said.

A number of Kabul residents, meanwhile, said uniformed forces should be deployed to the city to maintain security and to prevent criminal activity by button men identifying as Taliban.

According to the residents, people are accustomed to uniformed police and will feel more comfortable with them in the city.

The residents also said the new forces should fight criminals and restore order in the city.

"They should have a specific uniform and be well-organized in the city and maintain security so that the people will not worry," said Sheikh Zaman, a Kabul resident.

"We have seen cases where some people identifying themselves as Taliban forces have committed illegal actions in the city," said Abdurrahman, a Kabul resident.

Following the collapse of the former government in mid-August, Afghan police left their posts and the city remained without police. Taliban forces took charge of the city.

Abdul Majid, a Taliban force member, said he was on duty for many years along with other Taliban force members in Takhar province, and following the collapse of the former government he was assigned to maintain security in Kabul’s PD2.

According to Abdul Majid, hundreds of Taliban forces like him who previously were in the provinces are now maintaining security in Kabul.

"Now people are safe from robberies and other insecurity issues, and they should be happy about the security we have provided," said Abdul Majid.

Taliban forces currently stationed in Kabul do not have uniforms and some residents in the past weeks called on the Taliban to provide uniforms for their forces so the people will trust their authority.

Afghan police back to jobs in Kabul International Airport

[KhaamaPress] Taliban
Taliban

...Arabic for students...
have invited border police of the previous Afghan government to return to their jobs in Kabul International Airport to work alongside them.

On Sunday, September 12 a number of the former border police were seen on their jobs in the airport alongside armed members of the Taliban.

Although the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has invited some civil servants across Afghanistan including those in customs, this is the first time that military officials of the former government are returning to jobs.

Traffic personnel, municipality staff, and school teachers are the only ~~babus~~ government employees who have not been bothered since the Taliban takeover.

Earlier, the ministry of finance had called on the staff of all customs to return to jobs lest they will be considered absent and will not be gotten paid.

In the meantime, officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said that the finance ministry is working to pay the salaries of the staff of some ministries.

People are asking the Taliban to call on the former ~~babus~~ government employees to run their jobs as they were fully familiar with the governance and the digitalized system.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit tossed in the calaboose
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
Motaj Abdul Majid Kafiluddin Bepari on Sunday; he is now on a four-day remand.

Confirming the matter yesterday, CTTC Deputy Commissioner Mohibul Islam Khan said interrogation is underway to know his motive.

According to the first information report (FIR) of the case recorded under Anti-Terrorism Act with Uttara (West) cop shoppe, Motaj and five or six unnamed people were accused for "planning sabotage with different murderous Moslem organizations to establish Khalifah (caliphate) by displacing the government."

Police also seized a passport, a Saudi Arabian ID card, Saudi driving licence, an iPhone, and Bangla translations of several essays on Khilafah in Bangladesh was from Motaj’s possession.

MOTAJ AND HIS IS CONNECTION

Born in Saudi Arabia to a Bangladeshi father and a Pak mother, Motaj took a Bangladeshi passport in 2014 from the Bangladesh embassy in Saudi Arabia and then went to ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor....
in 2016 using it, the FIR stated.

The report also mentioned he was influenced by the IS ideology and was trying to get in touch with them, after which he attempted to enter into Syria several times, but failed.

Later in 2017, he tried to enter Syria via Egypt and Turkey from Saudi Arabia, but failed again.

Finally in 2018, Motaj succeeded, but it was too late, as the IS regime had been ousted from Syria by then.

After this, he fled to Turkey where his plan was to flee to any European country via Greece. But as ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish police began a drive against terrorists, Motaj decided to return to Bangladesh and arrived in Dhaka.

According to the case files, police was aware of his entry and was tracking his movements to arrest him.

Citing findings from the primary inquiry, the FIR says Motaj believed in the ideology of banned murderous Moslem outfit New JMB.

WHAT WILL BE THE FATE OF IS RETURNEES?

No police official is ready to publicly comment on Motaj’s matter.

However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
CTTC chief and Additional Commissioner Monirul Islam recently said Bangladeshis returning home after joining IS would face legal action.

He also said a section of youths have been going to join IS since late 2014. They suspect some aspiring snuffies were arrested and some were killed. But he acknowledged the lack of statistics regarding the matter.

"If they want to return home now, they have no alternative but to come by air. They need passports. But people who left the country in 2014 no longer have valid passports. If anybody wants to return, they will have to apply for a travel pass," Monirul explained.
