A native of the North Caucasus suffers attack in New Moscow because of her hijab
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The police filed a statement about the attack on a native of the North Caucasus, walking with children on the playground. The woman was seriously injured and reported insults on religious and national grounds, the lawyer said.

Police officers in the city of Moskovsky in New Moscow interviewed a native of the North Caucasus and accepted a statement about the attack of local residents on her and her child. According to the victim, the attackers spoke insultingly about her because of the hijab, Kavkaz.Realii reports today with reference to the lawyer Ruslan Nagiyev, who represents the interests of the victim.

Ruslan Nagiyev wrote on September 2 in his Telegram channel that he had arrived in the city of Moscow "on the case of attacks by dogs and their owners on a mother with children." According to him, the woman was walking with her three children and two nieces when she was attacked by dogs and dog owners.

"She has a cruciate ligament rupture. A serious operation and a long rehabilitation period are ahead. An eight-year-old boy named [here Nagiyev gave a male name that is common among Muslims. - Approx. "Caucasian Knot"] received medical assistance after being bitten by a dog," the statement says. publication, which is illustrated with a photograph of a woman in a headscarf and on crutches.

In connection with the attack filed a complaint with the police, said the lawyer. "I urge everyone not to escalate the situation. The perpetrators will be punished within the framework of the law. If it is confirmed that a dog without a muzzle was set on a child, then this is Articles 111,112, or 115 of the Criminal Code, depending on the severity of the harm caused to the health of the victim, as well as Article 213 Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Hooliganism)," he wrote.

On the evening of September 2, Nagiyev added that "the physical and emotional state of the entire family is difficult." “A woman has a cruciate ligament [knee] rupture. She moves only with the help of crutches. Shortly before the incident, the woman got a job to help her husband, but now she won’t be able to work. and a long period of rehabilitation. The boy received medical assistance after being bitten by a dog. He and his sisters were psychologically traumatized. Thanks to the local residents who stood up for the family during the conflict, more serious consequences were avoided," the publication says.

The victims are natives of one of the republics of the North Caucasus, the lawyer emphasized, without specifying the region from which the family came. "All the necessary documents and materials have been submitted to the police department. A criminal case should be initiated within 10 days," he wrote. The lawyer added that he joined the legal defense of the victims after the local imam Almaz-Khazrat Abdrakhmanov approached him.

Ruslan Nagiyev also posted a video shot in selfie mode against the backdrop of the police department. In the video, the lawyer explained that on August 30, a woman with children was walking on the playground and was attacked by two dogs - a Rottweiler and a Doberman. After that, several women joined the attack, who "began to set dogs on children with threats" Eat them!

“Words of hostility on religious and national grounds were also expressed against the woman. I say all this from the words of my confidant, the victim, who filed a corresponding statement with the police department. The statement is registered,” the lawyer says in the video.

The video of the incident was posted on August 31 in the telegram channel "Caution, Moscow". The footage, taken at night, shows how two women, having grappled in a fight, fall on the lawn, and three more women run up to them, one of whom joins the fight and kicks the woman who is lying down. A large dog runs around the women. At least one of the women is swearing loudly and obscenely, and children's screams can be heard off-screen.

"In New Moscow, residents fought on the playground because of a dog without a muzzle. In the city of Moskovsky, in the 3rd microdistrict, three women started a fight. The quarrel took place near the playgrounds for dogs and the nursery. According to eyewitnesses, the conflict began after a dog attacked a child , and his mother tried to protect him," the caption to the video says.

The " Caucasian Knot " also wrote that on September 2, 2022, it became known about a scandal in one of the schools in Tyumen, where a fifth-grader, a native of Dagestan, was refused to be allowed to attend classes in a hijab. The tearful girl was able to get to the lessons after a verbal skirmish between her parents and the principal. The school management did not change the internal rules after the scandal.

The principal of the school later explained that she could not be held responsible for the requirements of the school charter, the "Caucasian Knot" report says "Covering the head, but not the face: women's dress code in Chechnya ".

On January 11, the teachers' council of the medical college in Novocherkassk expelled five students, including natives of Dagestan and Chechnya, for wearing hijabs. The girls complained to the prosecutor and the Ombudsman. The college authorities said that students can return to their studies if they refuse to wear clothes with religious attributes. In February, three students from Dagestan re-entered the college after they managed to reach a compromise on the issue of uniforms with its leadership. The situation was resolved without trial, with the publicity of the incident playing a decisive role, the lawyers said.

Home Front: WoT
Massachusetts calls up national guard to cope with migrants as protests rage
[NYPOST] Massachusetts officials overwhelmed by arriving migrants colonists have activated the national guard as they scramble for more housing, while aid groups say they have been pushed to the limit and protests abound.

Gov. Maura Healey mobilized 250 members of the Massachusetts National Guard on Thursday to help transport the latest wave of asylum seekers to shelters across the state.

But much like the crisis overtaking the Big Apple, Massachusetts has nowhere near enough housing or resources currently available to accommodate the influx.
Let them live under bridges, like they do in Texas.
"Right now, the non-profits that are in Massachusetts are stretched and so thin they cannot provide anymore staff," state Sen. Jamie Eldridge told CBS News.

While the National Guard can help with the lack of manpower, the state can do little to address the shortage of housing outside of creating new shelters, which local residents vehemently oppose.

Dozens of protesters came out Saturday to the Yarmouth Resort motel, where the state hopes to set aside 100 units for migrant families, many of whom include Haitian immigrants colonists displaced by natural disasters.

India-Pakistan
Pakistan registers 83% rise in terror attacks in August
[GEO.TV] A sharp increase in hard boy attacks across the country has been recorded in the month of August with 99 terror incidents reported so far, a report compiled by the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) stated.

This, according to the report, is the highest number recorded in any single month since November 2014. These attacks have resulted in 112 deaths and 87 injuries, mostly targeting security forces personnel and civilians, The News reported on Sunday.

The data stated an 83% rise in August when compared with July, as the month saw 54 attacks. The PICSS report also mentioned four suicide kabooms, three in tribal districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and one in mainland KP.

The month of July, meanwhile, witnessed five suicide attacks, the highest in a year. Overall, the country witnessed 22 suicide attacks in the first eight months of 2023, in which 227 people have been killed and 497 injured.

The PICSS data also shows that security forces responded effectively to the hard boy threat, averting many attacks killing at least 24 hard boys, and arresting 69 others in various operations across the country.

The data showed that Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
and erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) were the most affected regions by hard boy violence in August, compared to the previous month. Balochistan witnessed a 65% increase in hard boy attacks, from 17 in July to 28 in August, while erstwhile FATA witnessed a 106% increase, from 18 in July to 37 in August. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
both regions also saw a decrease in fatalities, by 19% and 29% respectively.

KP, excluding its tribal districts, also saw a significant increase in hard boy attacks, from 15 in July to 29 in August, an 83% rise. The deaths and injuries also increased by 188% and 73% respectively.

The province was mainly targeted by the TTP and its splinter groups, who grabbed credit for several attacks. The province of Sindh witnessed a slight increase in hard boy attacks, from three in July to five in August. The deaths also increased from one to four.

The province of Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

remained relatively peaceful, with no hard boy attack reported in August. The only attack reported in July was a low-intensity blast near a cop shoppe in Lahore, which caused one injury.

The data also reveals that security forces remained the primary target of hard boy violence, accounting for 50% of the total deaths and 63% of the total injured. There was a 51% rise in fatalities of the security forces in August compared with July 2023.

Iraq
Coalition, Iraqi forces pursue ISIS militants after the killing of French soldiers
2023-08-29
[Shafaq News] Coalition forces, including French soldiers, are conducting a sweeping operation against ISIS Lions of Islam in the volatile al-Eith area following an ambush that left five troops, including several French, either dead or injured.

Ali Nawaf al-Hassan, a commander of the defense forces in al-Eith, told Shafaq News Agency that the joint mission involves coalition forces, Iraqi counter-terrorism units, and other security formations targeting ISIS hideouts in the region.

Al-Hassan said that the ground troops were backed by aerial support to cleanse the region of ISIS groups, which have become a major security concern. He alluded to previous warnings about heightened ISIS activities in al-Eith.

Earlier today, a security source in Saladin said that an ISIS-orchestrated ambush on coalition and Iraqi counter-terrorism forces. This ambush was preceded by an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
on an ISIS stronghold in al-Eith, which, although causing substantial damage, did not neutralize the turbans.

As French forces, in collaboration with counter-terrorism units, descended to assess the airstrike aftermath, ISIS Lions of Islam opened fire, injuring three French soldiers and two from the Iraqi unit.

Reinforcements from the Saladin operations were dispatched to the scene, while security forces and the coalition continue to tighten the noose on the area searching for ISIS turbans.

The vast expanse and geography of al-Aith island make it a hotbed for ISIS activities, in addition to its proximityborders to infested border areas in Kirkuk and Diyala.

Turkish bombs scorch Sulaimani farmland, orchards: Official
01-09-2023
[Rudaw] Ottoman Turkish air forces bombarded several areas in Sulaimani province in the early hours of Friday morning, damaging the orchards and farms of villagers, a local official said. Ankara claimed it only targeted alleged positions of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and was careful not to harm civilian property.

Ottoman Turkish warplanes and drones bombarded the vicinity of Galala village ten times, Kamaran Hassan, mayor of Mawat district, which includes the village in northern Sulaimani province, told Rudaw. The attack damaged farms and orchards and sparked a fire that burned from midnight to 10 o’clock the next morning.

"A number of other areas close to Mount Asos were bombarded too, but there were no casualties or material loss," he said.

The Ottoman Turkish defence ministry said in a statement that it "destroyed" the mouths of 16 caves, four shelters, and two depots allegedly belonging to the PKK in Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on Mount Asos and Mount Qandil.

"Before the operation, the targets were carefully chosen, and maximum attention and sensitivity was paid to the safety of lives and property of the civilian population and the protection of historical, religious, cultural assets," said the ministry.

Eastern Kurdistan Units (YRK), a PKK-affiliated force fighting against Iran, denied the PKK had been hit and accused The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
of publishing misinformation. Ottoman Turkish forces "only damaged the farms and orchards of the residents of the area," it was cited by PKK-affiliated Rojnews as saying.

The PKK is an gang which claims to struggle for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey. It is designated a terrorist organization by Ankara, which has launched numerous operations against the group and its alleged offshoots in the Kurdistan Region and Syria.

Kurdish civilians and rights organizations have criticized Turkey’s military campaign as civilian lives and property are frequently caught in the crossfire.

In a recent escalation of its activity in Sulaimani province, Ankara has carried out drone attacks on busy roads that link major urban centres, leading to civilian deaths.

Kamaran Osman, a member of the Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT), a human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
organization that monitors Turkey's operations in the Kurdistan Region, told Rudaw last month that Ottoman Turkish forces had targeted 82 sites in the Kurdistan Region since the beginning of this year. In these attacks, eight non-combatants were killed and three others were maimed.

According to CPT data, Ankara has killed at least 147 people and injured 219 since 2015. During this period, 158 villages were abandoned because life there had become impossible. About 600 others are under threat of being emptied as well.

The US consulate in Erbil told Rudaw English in mid-August that it condemned "any loss of civilian life" in the dronezaps in Sulaimani and called on Turkey to coordinate cross-border operations with authorities in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

During his first visit to Iraq and the Kurdistan Region as Turkey’s foreign minister, Hakan Fidan last month called on Iraqi authorities to recognize the PKK as a terrorist organization.

Ottoman Turkish state media on Saturday claimed that a PKK fighter, Rezan Gungen, was killed by Ottoman Turkish forces in Sulaimani province. The PKK had announced his death on August 10, saying he was killed four days earlier on Mount Qandil.

US welcomes Iraq sentencing of suspects in American national killing
01-09-2023
[Rudaw] The US State Department on Thursday welcomed an Iraqi court’s decision to sentence five individuals to life imprisonment in suspicion to the killing of an American national in Baghdad late last year.

Stephen Edward Troell, an American national who worked as an English teacher in Baghdad, was rubbed out under unclear circumstances in the Iraqi capital in November. Troell, 45, worked for an organization affiliated to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The Iraqi interior ministry on Thursday announced that the judiciary had convicted four Iraqi nationals and one Iranian national in relation to Troell’s killing, noting that the suspects had confessed to the murder after they were confronted with "overwhelming evidence."
Including pliars and a blowtorch
Four other suspects in the killing are currently being pursued and investigated by Iraqi security forces, the ministry added, stressing that Baghdad will not allow any agression against foreign nationals in the country.

"It is critical that all those responsible for the brutal, premeditated liquidation of Mr. Troell face justice and accountability," read a statement from US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, welcoming the Iraqi court’s ruling.

Miller renewed condolences to Troell’s family, expressing hope that the court’s decision brings them "some measure of justice."

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudan
......
i ordered a probe into the incident immediately after Troell’s killing and an investigative committee was formed in hopes of reaching the perpetrators "as soon as possible."

During a meeting with Sudani in November, US Ambassador to Iraq Alina Romanowski expressed her appreciation for the Iraqi government’s efforts in pursuit of Troell’s killers.

Hundreds of foreign nationals were kidnapped and dozens were killed across Iraq after US forces entered Baghdad in 2003. Security risks to foreigners visiting or working Iraq have noticeably decreased in recent years, but still continue to lurk as a potential threat.
A source revealed on Thursday the secrets of the trial of the killers of an American citizen in Baghdad.

Shafaq News Agency investigated the sidelines of the trial and the pressures that accompanied it, leading to the final verdict that was issued on Thursday, after three pleadings in al-Karkh Criminal Court.

Several sources informed Shafaq News Agency that the verdict of life imprisonment was issued against the killers of American citizen Steven Carroll,
...not at all the same name as in the report above, but the circumstances otherwise appear similar...
who are five defendants, four of whom are Iraqi nationals and one of whom is an Iranian national with the rank of captain in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and works as an advisor in one of the Iraqi security agencies and resides in one of the headquarters in al-Jadriya area.

The sources indicated that the other four defendants are Iraqi citizens belonging to multiple factions, and the defendants admitted to carrying out the killing operation after being investigated, and their case was referred to al-Karkh Criminal Court.

Regarding the circumstances of the crime, the sources pointed out that the operation was to kidnap the American citizen, not to kill him, but the defendants executed it incorrectly and killed him. They were arrested after being followed up by the Intelligence Agency in the Ministry of Interior to reach the criminals through multiple proven evidence, and they were arrested at a house in al-Rusafa area.

Another source said that the judicial investigation began with them (the defendants), up to the referral of their files to the Karkh Criminal Court, despite all the pressures exerted by the parties to which they belong. In contrast, Tehran abandoned the Iranian defendant after their failure in the kidnapping operation at the beginning, but in the end, Tehran and Iraqi parties exerted great pressure to withdraw the defendant to Tehran and hold him accountable there.

The Iraqi judiciary, earlier on Thursday, issued a life sentence against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard officer and Iraqis who killed an American in Baghdad.

[Rudaw] At least three suspected Islamic State

(ISIS) members were killed and their hideouts destroyed when the Iraqi air force targeted their hideouts in Salahaddin province on Wednesday, state media reported.

Iraqi F-16 jets "carried out a successful strike today when they targeted a terrorist detachment, killing three murderous Moslems and destroying four guesthouses, tunnels, and caves, in the al-Aith area within Salahaddin," state media cited a statement by the Joint Operations Command as saying.

The strikes in al-Aith targeted the same region where a French soldier was ambushed and killed by ISIS Lions of Islam on Monday while embedded with a dispatch of French troops assisting the Iraqi army in an anti-terror operation.

Turkish drone strike kills one in Hasaka: Monitor
02-09-2023
[Rudaw] One person is dead after a suspected Ottoman Turkish drone targeted a vehicle on the outskirts of Hasaka in northeast Syria (Rojava) on Saturday, a local war monitor reported.

The drone struck a vehicle on the main highway in northeast Syria’s Hasaka province, killing one person and injuring another, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based war monitor.

"The targeting also led to burning and material damage at the site," SOHR added.

Ottoman Turkish forces frequently conduct dronezaps on targets in northern Syria on the grounds that they have links with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and pose a threat to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
The PKK is an gang fighting for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey. Ankara considers the group and its alleged offshoots in Syria terrorist organizations and has carried out two major military operations against them since 2018.

According to SOHR, Turkey has carried out 46 dronezaps on areas controlled by Kurdish forces in northern Syria since January, resulting in 54 deaths. On August 23, a Ottoman Turkish dronezap on a vehicle on the Qamishli-Amuda road in Rojava killed at least one journalist and injured another.

Syrian army prevents attack of militants in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The artillery of the Syrian army attacked the positions of militants in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib in response to the violation of the ceasefire by the militants in the northern de-escalation zone, the Al Mayadeen TV channel reported on September 3.

Massive strikes were delivered against enemy command posts, fortified areas and rear bases.

In addition, according to the SANA agency , which refers to the statement of the Syrian Ministry of Defense, the Syrian army shot down unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched by terrorist groups in the province of Idlib, thereby preventing militants from attacking civilian and military facilities.

As IA Regnum reported , on September 1, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian side had proposed to Turkey to return to an agreement allowing Turkish forces to fight terrorist forces in Syria.

The agreement assumed that there was a terrorist threat, and in order to stop it, Ankara would have the right, in agreement with Damascus, to send its anti-terrorist structures to a certain depth of Syrian territory, the Russian Foreign Minister recalled.
