US GOVERNMENT LEAK CLAIMS AFGHANISTAN IS NOW A PLANNING HUB FOR ISIS – A leaked document, purported to have been assembled by the Pentagon, contains detailed assessments from US intelligence agencies about ISIS in Afghanistan. The documents reveal the US had successfully intercepted plans that targeted embassies, churches, business centers, and the FIFA tournament. According to the documents, Pentagon officials are tracking 15 international operations that have been proposed by ISIS. Some conclusions the report has proposed and subsequent commentary from US leaders are:
ISIS is using Afghanistan for centralized planning but has developed a cost-effective decentralized execution network for funding attacks.
The US recognized the Taliban and US interests are aligned on the ISIS issue and the Taliban has been somewhat successful in putting pressure on the terror group.
It is not currently clear how much autonomy or influence ISIS-K enjoys/exerts on the international leadership based in Syria.
One of the most troubling findings in the report concern ISIS’s recruitment of technical and engineering specialists over the last 3 years. Many believe this targeted recruiting is meant to facilitate a chemical attack. However, analysts seemed to agree these efforts had suffered a setback when the caliphate collapsed.
No evidence exists that al-Qaeda has established a presence in Afghanistan.
The documents, if authentic, demonstrate how well intelligence agencies have successfully penetrated ISIS operations. In the summary, analysts projected that ISIS would be restricted to small-scale manufacturing of conventional, chemical, or biological weapons but would have difficulty in deploying such weapons successfully.
CLARIFICATION RECEIVED ABOUT TAKHAR CLASHES REPORTED YESTERDAY – The Taliban have confirmed that a clash reported in the Darqad District of Takhar Province that resulted in the deaths of 3 Taliban members was the result of an inter-Taliban rivalry.
MORE AFGHANS REPORTEDLY ROUNDED UP IN KARACHI – An NGO in Pakistan’s Sindh Province reported that 11 Afghans had been arrested by Police yesterday and that many were officially registered with the United Nations as well as possessing legitimate visas and passports.

Suspected extremists have attacked a military camp in central #Mali, two local elected officials and a diplomatic source tell AFP, referring to the site as a “Russian camp.”#Russiahttps://t.co/l5mZiZ9XnS
Suspected forces of Evil attacked a military camp in central Mali on Saturday, two local elected officials and a diplomatic source told AFP, referring to the site as a "Russian camp."
Mali's junta in 2022 began working with what it calls Russian military "instructors." Opponents say these are mercenaries from the Wagner group.
"We have no toll for the moment - the situation is still confused - it is [extremists] who targeted the airport and the Russian camp next to it," a local elected official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Two Malian military officials also confirmed the attack had taken place in the town of Sevare, in the Mopti region.
Around 5:30 a.m. (0530 GMT), four loud explosions could be heard, followed by automatic weapons fire, several people on the ground told AFP. Smoke was also seen near the airport.
"It is the Russian camp and their planes that have been targeted - the camp is near the airport," another local official told AFP.
"The [extremists] have surrounded part of the airport."
He said that Senegal ... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees... ese soldiers from the UN’s mission in Mali, MINUSMA, were able to slow the hard boys' advance.
MINUSMA’s camp covers four hectares of land next to the airport and the Malian army camp that houses the Russians.
A MINUSMA official declined to comment when contacted by AFP.
"We are facing a terrorist attack in Sevare - our men are on the ground," a Malian military official told AFP.
"It was a complex attack that required a booby-trapped vehicle and guerrilla techniques," another military source said.
Mali has been battling a security crisis since hard boy and separatist insurgencies broke out in the north of the country in 2012.
It has since August 2020 been ruled by a military junta, which broke a long-standing alliance with La Belle France and other Western partners in the fight against extremism and turned militarily and politically toward Russia.

A Malian army helicopter crashed Saturday in a residential neighborhood of the capital Bamako while returning from an anti-extremist operation, the armed forces and sources said.
The incident followed an ambush earlier Saturday on an army supply mission in the Sahel country’s restive north.
"At around 1:10 pm, an attack helicopter of the Malian armed forces, returning from an operational mission, crashed in a residential area of Bamako," the General Staff of the Armed Forces said in a statement.
It cited "possible victims" without giving a number.

"The helicopter was returning from the Mauritanian border where it had intervened against [extremists]", another military source, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , told AFP.
The Malian army did not provide details of the operation but local officials in the town of Nara in northern Mali said an attack had taken place there on Saturday morning.
"A supply mission of the Malian Armed Forces was ambushed just 10 kilometers from Mourdiah on the road to Nara", the provincial government said, adding that no casualties had been reported yet.
On Tuesday, an official delegation was ambushed near Nara. The chief of staff of Mali’s transitional president and at least two others died in the attack.
Earlier on Saturday morning, suspected Lions of Islam attacked a military camp in Sevare, central Mali, killing at least nine people and injuring at least 60 others, according to regional officials.

[KavkazUzel] A court in Tbilisi placed under arrest Malkhaz Paksashvili, who was detained on suspicion of involvement with Syrian militants. The arrested man refused to admit his guilt.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that today the State Security Service of Georgia announced the detention of Malkhaz Paksashvili . The security forces consider him the head of one of the IS units that participated in the hostilities in Syria.
According to investigators, Georgian citizen Malkhaz Paksashvili left for Syria in 2013, where he joined the Islamic State militants and took part in attacks by a terrorist organization in 2013-2015. Also, the Georgian citizen had close ties with high-ranking IS* commanders and served as the head of one of the groups, investigators say.
The court chose Malkhaz Paksashvili a measure of restraint in the form of arrest for two months, the Mtavari Arkhi TV channel reported, the air of which was watched by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Malkhaz Paksashvili's relatives stated in a TV report that he returned to Georgia from Turkey in 2015. "He returned to Georgia in 2015 from Turkey. If the state security says that he is a terrorist, then what is the logic in the fact that for eight years a terrorist has been walking and driving around Georgia. Why didn't they catch him earlier?" asked one of the relatives, whose words were translated into Russian by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Malkhaz Paksashvili pleads not guilty, Prosecutor Maya Silagadze said after a meeting of the Tbilisi City Court. "I cannot speak in detail about the statements he made, but I can say that he does not confess to the crime. The case is classified as "secret", and we cannot talk about the substantive details of the case. However, I can confirm that he is in Georgia years, and after evidence was obtained that the accused had joined the terrorist organization "Islamic State" and participated in various operations carried out by it, the prosecution petitioned the court to issue an order for his detention, "she quotes" InterpressNews".
The prosecutor added that the accused does not have a lawyer, as he refuses to defend himself, the newspaper writes.
[An Nahar] A Gay Paree court has sentenced a Lebanese-Canadian sociology professor to life in prison in absentia for the 1980 bombing of a synagogue in the French capital that left four people dead.
The court followed the prosecutors' request for the maximum possible punishment against Hassan Diab, now 69 and a resident of Canada, a decision that was met with silence in court.
Some victims and their families could be seen embracing at the end of three weeks of proceedings during which the suspect's box remained empty throughout.
Prosecutors had said in their closing arguments Thursday that there was "no possible doubt" that Diab, the only suspect, was behind the attack.
Diab, speaking to news hounds in Ottawa, called the verdict "Kafkaesque" and "not fair."
"We'd hoped reason would prevail," he said, adding that he expects Canada not to send him back to La Belle France to serve the sentence.
In the early evening of October 3, 1980, explosives placed on a cycle of violence detonated close to a synagogue on the Rue Copernic in Gay Paree' chic 16th district, killing a student passing by on a motorbike, a driver, an Israeli journalist and a caretaker.
Forty-six others were maimed in the blast.
The bombing was the first deadly attack against a Jewish target on French soil since World War II.
No organization grabbed credit but police suspected a splinter group of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine.
French intelligence agents in 1999 accused Diab of having made the 10-kilogram bomb.
They pointed to Diab's likeness with police sketches drawn at the time and handwriting analyses that they said confirmed him as the person who bought the motorbike used in the attack.
They also produced a key item of evidence against him -- a passport in his name, seized in Rome in 1981, with entry and exit stamps from Spain, where the attack plan was believed to have originated.
In 2014, Canada extradited Diab at the request of the French authorities.
However, a woman is only as old as she admits... investigating judges were unable to prove his guilt conclusively during the investigation and Diab was released, leaving La Belle France for Canada as a free man in 2018.
Three years later, a French court overturned this earlier decision and ordered that Diab should stand trial on charges of murder, attempted murder and destruction of property in connection with a terrorist enterprise.
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North... said at a presser after the verdict was announced that "we will look carefully at next steps, at what the French government chooses to do, at what French tribunals choose to do."
"But we will always be there to stand up for Canadians and their rights," he said.

The garage doors at Republican state Sen. Mike Kennedy’s home in Alpine, a suburb of Salt Lake City, were covered in red spray-painted messages, which read "Fash," short for fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... , and "These trannies bash back," according to photos Kennedy shared on Facebook.
"The suspects appear to have targeted the Senator based on legislation that recently passed in the last legislative session," Lone Peak coppers told CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... Earlier this year, Kennedy sponsored SB16, which banned treatments such as gender-affirming surgery and puberty blockers for youths.
The legislation passed the state Legislature’s General Session in January and was signed into law soon after by Gov. Spencer Cox.
"To those who seek to use violence, vandalism, and intimidation to deter me from standing up for what is right, let me be clear: you will not succeed. I will not be deterred by your cowardly actions," Kennedy said.
"The recent vandalism to my family’s home was not just an attack on me, but on the very principles our state stands for."
At least 11 states have passed similar bans preventing minors from receiving gender-affirming procedures, including Georgia, Iowa and Tennessee, and West Virginia.

The trigger point the left is looking for may be this; the tranny paranoia, fueled by bogus claims of widespread violence against them, armed and frightened.
Protection of wives and daughters is non-negotiable for most of us.
More Sikh Khalistan nonsense, financed and directed in part by Pakistan.
[NY Post] Indian police on Sunday arrested a separatist leader who has revived calls for an independent Sikh homeland and the secession of India’s northern Punjab state, which has a history of violent insurgency.
Amritpal Singh had been on the run since last month after capturing national attention in February, when hundreds of his supporters stormed a police station in Ajnala, a town in Punjab state, with wooden batons, swords and guns to demand the release of a jailed aide.
Punjab state police tweeted Sunday that Singh was arrested in Moga, a town in the state.
A Sikh religious leader, Jasbir Singh Rodde, said Singh surrendered to police after offering morning prayers at a Sikh shrine in Moga. Police then arrested him and took him away, he said.
Police officer Sukhchain Singh Gill said police had surrounded the local village on intelligence that Singh was in the shrine. "Relentless pressure built by the police over the past 35 days left Singh with no choice," Gill told reporters.
He said the police didn’t enter the shrine, implying that Singh was taken into custody after he left. The officer declined to confirm that Singh surrendered to police as claimed by his supporters.
The officer said Singh was flown to Dibrugarh in India’s northeast where he will be detained until he is brought to court to face charges.
Punjab suffered a bloody insurgency in the 1980s that led to the killing of India’s then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards at her official residence in New Delhi.
Her killing triggered bloody rioting by her Hindu supporters against Sikhs in northern India.
Ashwini Dubey, a lawyer in Punjab state, said Singh’s arrest would help police to dismantle the separatist network and its supporters.
Tavleen Singh, a political commentator and former journalist who covered the Punjab insurgency in the 1980s, said: "The police took this man out, which is good because had they gone into a gurdwara (Sikh shrine), and started shooting you would have had a reaction from the general populous. The Sikhs happen to be very sensitive to gurdwaras being attacked."
Sikhs are a religious minority in India and say they are discriminated against by the majority Hindus.
More than 3,000 people were killed by extremists during the 1980s insurgency in the prosperous farming state. The insurgency was crushed by Indian forces by 1990.
Punjab borders India-controlled Kashmir and Pakistan. India accuses Pakistan of supporting, training and arming insurgents, a charge Islamabad denies.
Police declared Singh, a 30-year-old preacher, a fugitive and accused him and his aides of creating discord in the state.
Police accused them of spreading disharmony among people, attempted murder, attacking police personnel and obstructing public servants’ lawful discharge of duty.
Authorities have deployed thousands of paramilitary soldiers in the state and arrested nearly 100 of his supporters.
Singh’s wife was prevented from leaving India last week.
Very little was known about Singh until he arrived in Punjab state in 2022 and began leading marches calling for the protection of rights for Sikhs, who account for about 1.7% of India’s population.
Singh claims to draw inspiration from Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a Sikh militant leader accused by the Indian government of leading an armed insurgency for Khalistan in the 1980s.
Bhindranwale and his supporters were killed in 1984 when the Indian army stormed the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine in the Sikh religion.
[Shafaq News] Iraq's National Security Agency has foiled a "terrorist scheme targeting markets in Kirkuk" and apprehended two prominent ISIS murderous Moslems, an official statement said on Saturday.
The Agency's operatives, in collaboration with the advanced joint operations headquarters and the provincial police, arrested a notorious terrorist, identified as "Abu Dujana", and his accomplice, in a complex intelligence and field operation.
The detainees confessed to their sinister intentions of targeting civilians and security forces in the province via a series of explosions in crowded markets in a bid to destabilize the security and spread chaos.
"However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... the vigilance of the security forces prevented the realization of these nefarious plans," the statement said.
Notably, "Abu Dujana," who recently renewed his allegiance to ISIS, had previously carried a kaboom targeting police patrols, killing an officer. He was also responsible for establishing a hideout for a terrorist cell in the Leilan sub-district of Kirkuk.
Colonel Jalil Mam Faiq, commander of the 3rd battalion of the 3rd Peshmerga brigade, revealed that the turbans are forced to move through the outskirts, and some neighborhoods of, Jalawla and the periphery of Qara Tapa in the northeast of the Diyala province in order to escape the aerial and missile bombardment of the security forces.
The commander said that ISIS members leave their strongholds in northern Jalawla and roam the areas and neighborhoods of Jalawla, 70 km northeast of Baqubah, and the peripheries of Qara Tapa (113 km northeast of Baqubah) during the night to avoid any Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s or missile attacks targeting their hideouts.
Mam Faiq confirmed to Shafaq News Agency that security authorities are aware of the movements but are yet to address them. The commander attributed "the lack of reporting on them by locals to fears of threats and the existence of some enclaves that collaborate or sympathize with terrorists."
The territory northern Jalawla, including al-Islah basin, Sheikh Baba, the Jalawla border, and Qara Tapa, continue to harbor ISIS strongholds and hideouts due to the rugged geographical terrain and vast agricultural extensions.
Since the Peshmerga's withdrawal from their sectors following the October 2017 events, the areas between Jalawla, Qara Tapa, and the Khanaqin outskirts bordering the Kurdistan region have witnessed continuous attacks and incidents.
[Shafaq News] The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) on April 22 reported that a US-led coalition, in collaboration with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), seized a substantial amount of money and gold during a joint operation in Raqqa, a northeastern Syrian governorate.
Targeting a farm that reportedly served as the primary residence for ISIS founder and leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi several years ago, the US and SDF forces discovered three concealed rooms containing large quantities of gold, approximately $1 million in cash, and a wide collection of weapons.
Al-Baghdadi was killed by US special forces in another hideout in the Greater Idlib region of northwestern Syria in 2019.
The SOHR suggests that ISIS cells in Raqqa used the farm as a base for planning and executing attacks against the SDF.
Neither the US-led coalition nor the SDF have commented on the SOHR's report thus far, as such operations are not always publicly disclosed.
In recent months, the US has intensified its operations against the remnants of ISIS in Syria, potentially to justify its long-term presence in the conflict-stricken country.
Earlier this week, the US Central Command announced the killing of a senior ISIS leader, Abd-al-Hadi Mahmud al-Haji Ali, during a unilateral helicopter raid in the Ottoman Turkish-occupied village of al-Swaidah in the northern Aleppo countryside.
Al-Haji Ali, an operational planner, was responsible for planning many terror attacks in the Middle East and Europe.
