Afghanistan: 10 man Chinese spy ring uncovered
(Kabul) Last week Beijing was left with egg on its face when a 10 man Chinese spy ring was uncovered by Afghan intelligence inside Afghanistan. But it gets worst, the team wasn't just spying inside the country, they were caught after Afghan intelligence watching Pakistani spies in the country found the Chinese in communication with the Haqqani Network, which just happens to be the sword arm of the Taliban. Arms, ammunition, explosives and drugs were found at the residences of the Chinese following their arrests.
Bosnia: Migrants not happy on having to live in burnt out camp they destoryed.
(Lipa) So on Christmas Eve migrants held in the lipa refugee camp on the Bosnian border with Croatia (Also the border with the EU) decided to set fire to the entire camp in which to make themselves homeless in the hope that the EU would speed up their registration process like they did with the inhabitants of Moria refugee camp where thousands saw their applications to a new life in the richer northern EU states (Germany/Denmark/Sweden/Finland) speed tracked.
This is current state of former Lipa camp #Bihac #BiH where 900 #migrants who spent the night on the busses were just returned to by local police, as last minute political negotiations failed to produce a viable outcome. Close to no shelter for the night. @UN_BiH @UNmigration pic.twitter.com/SalRFIOgsk

Lipa location in #Bihac #BiH has become a winter prison. #Migrants are not allowed to leave site, and are now making fires inside the remaining tents to keep warm. We have seen a few days ago how quickly fire can spread. This is a totally unnecessary tragedy. @UNmigration @UN_BiH pic.twitter.com/KOeHrOmYMf

Nigeria: 11 Soldiers killed in mine blast.
(Maiduguri) Wednesday , 11 Nigerian soldiers were killed when
their vehicle ran over a mine. The blast
took place when a convoy of 2 armoured vehicles in pursuit of Boko Haram terrorists
saw the lead vehicle detonate a landmine, thankfully there were no injuries, however
the second vehicle then ran over another mine resulting in the deaths of 11
soldiers.
The incident transpired 20 kilometres from Maiduguri,
capital of restive Borno state, just outside the village of Kayamla and only 2
days after 4 soldiers were killed in another mine blast near the Cameroon border which came 3 days after Boko haram terrorists attacked a church on Christmas eve killing 11, and burning it down . But hey, I keep getting told its a religion of peace.

Syria: Israel carries out airstrikes on Hezb-allah and Iranian postions
(Damacus) Days after the IDF carried out their Christmas eve strikes on Iranian positions inside Syria where the Iranian mullahs waiting for Santa to pop up their chimneys received a bang of a completely different kind . Allahs little shia helpers received a follow up call, last night which substantiated the Iranians mullahs joyful exclamation of:
"Is that a rocket in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me"
Funny enough these latest strikes came hours after Tehran's pet monkey in Lebanon Hassan Nasrallah (the leader of terrorist outfit 'Hezb-allah) made a claim that his bunch of allahs little helpers had doubled their holding of precision-guided missiles aimed at Israel. strange how the liberal Western media can report the IDF strikes but not the threat upon Israel by Iran and its puppet in Lebanon by the use of over 17000 ballistic missilesAccording to #Syria Arab Army, #Israel Air Force has also targeted an air defense site of #Syria Arab Air Defense Force at Al-Zabadani during this airstrike. No wonder why Pantsir S1E/S2s and Buk M2s failed to shoot down the Delilah cruise missiles launched by the #IAF's F-16D/Is pic.twitter.com/gtPXX7NfML

Yemen: Attack on Aircraft carrying new Government kills 25 injures 100
(Aden) At least 26 people have been killed and more than 60 injured after an attack on the airport in the Yemeni city of Aden that appeared to be targeted at a plane carrying members of the newly formed government.
Yemen’s new unity government sworn in last week in Saudi
Arabia is made up from the internationally recognised government led by the
president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, and the separatist Southern Transitional
Council (STC), the organisation currently in charge of Aden had just landed at
Aden international airport when missiles (as seen on video) struck the area
around where the plane had landed, a further attack was made after the people
on the plane were taken to the presidential palace. Seeing as
both the STC and the Yemeni government are anti Houthi , it doesn’t take
a genius to work out this was the work of the Shai Houthi rebels most likely
under the instruction of their Iranian masters.

Two things spring to mind regards the aboove story: 1) After numerious atatcks using long distance drones, crusie missiels, long range missiles . why did the government allow hundreds of people to congragate on a runway at a known time when the threat of a terrorist atatck was hugh? 2) The Western media fed a diet of Iranian funded lies about the so caleld death toll in Yemen, never take to task iran over its numerious atatcks across the region, but isntead concentrate on how nasty Saudi Arabia is. yet Saudi Arabia stopped all offensive air atatcks in 2017 and since then has only retaliated to Houthi and Iranian provacations Funny that.An attack hit Aden airport in Yemen shortly after the arrival of the country's prime minister, members of its newly formed government and the Saudi ambassador https://t.co/C7Sk8EHMtH pic.twitter.com/X7Iz0gKPF6

Pakistan: Islamist Mobs demolish Hindu Temple
(Karak district) 25 miles from the Afghan border in the Pakistani
village of Teri. A violent Islamist mob descended on a 101 year old Hindu
temple and proceeded to demolish it after a rally by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F party which promoted
the view that the construction of an unrelated building next door to the temple
was actually the expansion of the Hindu temple and after the usual suspects
wound up the crowd as only the faithful can be riled up across the world, they descended
on the Temple in which to raise it to the ground.
The interesting thing about all this, is that the Jamiat
Ulema-e-Islam-F party is the political arm of the Deobandi Islamist movement
and as such has set up shop in the UK where they control approximately 600 of the 1500 mosques there. Now I stated interesting
and the reason for that is the Deobandi movement seeks to return to the basics of Islam as practised
in the time of Mohamed (The founder of Islam) , wishing to purify it from
amoral and materialistic Westernizing influences, The version of Islam it
teaches is in many ways similar to Wahhabism – both movements are Sunni,
puritanical and highly intolerant of people who disagree with them – but there
are also important differences: the two groups follow different schools of
Islamic jurisprudence, to take one example, and while the Wahhabis have the
money, the Deobandis have the numbers.
Pakistan: Yet another Hindu Temple has been burnt to the ground by Islamists under the guidance of a Mullah at Karak ,KPK province.

Thousands of temples have been destroyed in Islamic states. Yet for one illegal mosque in India so much push back?pic.twitter.com/rVkeaNTwBT
The Afghan and Pakistani Taliban movements originated in
Deobandi madrasas and a study of Pakistani police data on 2344 people convicted
on terrorism charges between 1990 and 2009 found that 90.5 per cent of them
were Deobandis. The would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid had Deobandi connections,
as did the 2006 transatlantic airline bomb plotters and two of the 7/7
attackers.
Funny enough the loudest voices across the Uk when a mosque
is denied retrospective planning permission belongs to the same people who have
no problem knocking down churches, Hindu temples and Shia mosques in Paksitan..
If you can access BBC sounds here is a most interesting radio report:
