mmy friend i dont think it matters, civilian or otherwise
i was very annoyed and disturbed about the USA blatant air strike bombing of an MSF hospital in Afghanistan 6 months or so ago, including an initial vehment blatant lying denial

these actions make me so very much unsympathetic to any wars /any deaths humanity are conducting on each other

incl what the Eu/Turkey have come up with re there latest solution to the migrant refugee issue
and they started the entire thing, along with others of course

that also could be cosidered a death sentence for the refugee seekers

geuss we are all going to have to live with this thing called 'terror'

what annoys me about all this is when it in someones 'own backyard' all the emotions are expected to flolw freely
never mind the daily happenings WW over many years, conveniently placed aside
why should the one take precedent over the other

again, 'poor us, why attack us' scenario?

NBC News has already announced that European officials are linking the attack to ISIS, though it is unclear whether or not Abdeslam’s network – which carried out the November 2015 Paris terror attacks – was directly involved

I hear "extremism", "terrorism" or "Islamic fundamentalism"... not one FUCKING word of Wahhabism or Saudi Arabia.

All discussion is pathetic and a sheer calculated (or not) misdirection without discussing Wahhabism and Saudi Arabia.

Turkey: Belgium ignored warning about ISIL attacker
Ankara says suspected airport bomber was detained and deported as Belgian police comb Brussels for third suspect.

Turkey said on Wednesday it had detained and then deported one of the two suspected suicide bombers at Brussels airport, suggesting Belgian authorities ignored a warning that he was a "foreign terrorist fighter".

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkish authorities detained Brahim el-Bakraoui in June last year in Gaziantep, close to the Syrian border, and then deported him to the Netherlands in July at his request.

"We reported the deportation to the Belgian Embassy in Ankara on July 14, 2015, but he was later set free," Erdogan told reporters in Ankara.

Finger Pointing Begins Over Security Failures Leading to Brussels Attacks
By Reuters and VICE News

March 25, 2016 | 3:30 am
Belgian police are still on the hunt for a third man filmed with two suicide bombers at Brussels airport, as evidence piled up that the same jihadist network was involved in the deadly Paris attacks last November.

Belgium's interior and justice ministers also offered to resign on Thursday over the failure to track an Islamic State (IS) militant expelled by Turkey last year who blew himself up at Brussels airport on Tuesday.

The double blasts at the airport and another attack at a subway station in the Belgian capital killed at least 31 people and injured 270.

BREAKING NEWS

Bombs used in Paris and Brussels were made by the same suicide bomber, Belgium said, in the most definitive link yet

Friday, March 25, 2016 1:22 PM EDT
One of two men who blew themselves up at Brussels Airport on Tuesday was a bomb maker who had helped produce two suicide vests used in the attacks that killed 130 people in and around Paris on Nov. 13, the Belgian authorities said on Friday.
The bomb maker — Najim Laachraoui, 24, a Belgian citizen who went to Syria in February 2013 — was an accomplice of Salah Abdeslam, 26, who was captured in Belgium last Friday after a four-month global manhunt and charged with terrorist murder.

UpFront - What does Saudi Arabia want for Yemen and Syria?

Published on Mar 25, 2016
A year on from the start of the Saudi-led coalition's air strikes in Yemen and five years since the beginning of the Syrian civil war, what is Saudi Arabia's endgame? In this week's UpFront, Mehdi Hasan sits down with Abdallah al-Mouallimi, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United Nations, to discuss the country's role in the region. And in the Arena we debate the use of drones against al-Shabaab in Somalia with Abukar Arman, the country's former special envoy to the United States, and Ahmed Abdisalam Adan, Somalia's former deputy

The US Just Admitted that 14 Airmen in Charge of 150 Nuclear Missiles — Are Cocaine and Molly Addicts


118833.jpg

Tasked with guarding 150 nuclear missiles at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, fourteen airmen are under investigation for allegedly using cocaine. Last year, three launch officers, known as missileers, pleaded guilty to using ecstasy after an investigation into illegal drug possession uncovered roughly 100 officers involved in a cheating scandal.

According to Gen. Robin Rand, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, the 14 suspects are airmen, airmen first class, or senior airmen (E-2 to E-4) from the 90th Security Forces Group at F.E. Warren AFB outside Cheyenne, Wyoming. Responsible for protecting 150 Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles, the 14 airmen have been suspended from their security duties while the investigation continues. Although Gen. Rand refused to specify which drug the airmen were caught using, the Associated Press has reported that they were high on cocaine.

Brussels attacks: Hijacking terror for political points - The Listening Post (Full)

Published on Mar 26, 2016
On Tuesday, Brussels became the second capital city in Western Europe in less than four months to experience a deadly bomb attack.Like the Paris attacks, the story attracted wall-to-wall coverage. But also like Paris, the reporting raised the question: Why does the media focus so heavily on this story when equally deadly attacks occur in Ankara, Bamako and Baghdad?In the second wave of media coverage came the political spin - the news anchors, pundits and politicians who have used the attacks in Brussels to advance their own agendas.Discussion quickly turned to the perceived threat of the refugees - despite the two suicide bombers being Belgian nationals - and in the US it even revived the debate around torture.To talk us through the coverage of the Brussels attacks and the politics behind it are: Habib Battah, editor of The Beirut Report; Jack Mirkinson, a reporter at Salon; Myria Georgiou, a media professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science; and Rudi Vranckx, a correspondent at Belgian state broadcaster, VRT.On our radar this week: A Ukrainian pilot has been found guilty by a Russian court of complicity in the killing of two Russian journalists in Eastern Ukraine; media analysts in Kenya suspect that the country's leading newspaper is purging journalists ahead of next year's election; and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg does the rounds in

Over the past 365 days, a coalition of mostly Arab countries led by Saudi Arabia, has been conducting air strikes in Yemen.Its main target have been Houthi rebels who took control of the capital Sanaa and other areas in 2014.The power grab forced the UN-backed president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee to Saudi Arabia.Since then, the fighting has destroyed much of the country and killed thousands of people.Now, armed groups including ISIL (also known as ISIS) have become a serious threat in Yemen.On Friday, several suicide bombers linked to ISIL killed dozens of people in the southern port city of Aden.But, a glimpse of hope has emerged recently. Some Houthi leaders have held talks with Saudi officials with the aim of reaching a political deal.The UN has also announced the warring sides are expected to meet soon for further talks on the future of the country.So, will diplomacy work?Presenter: Sami ZeidanGuests:Hisham Al Omeisy - Political AnalystKhaled Batarfi - Senior Columnist for the Saudi GazetteAdam Baron - Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations

Intelligence Accounts Raise More Questions on Origins of Brussels, Paris Attacks

By Alex Lantier
Global Research, March 31, 2016

brussels-belgium-europe-400x266.jpg

Accounts of US and European intelligence’s monitoring of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) make ever clearer that the key ingredient in ISIS terror attacks in Brussels and last year in Paris was the support of factions of the NATO countries’ intelligence apparatus for ISIS in the war in Syria.

As NATO officials sought to use ISIS militias and terror attacks to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and to discredit Assad’s accusations that they was supporting terrorists in Syria, they ignored mounting signs that ISIS was developing a broad terror network in Europe. This reckless policy led to substantial infighting inside the intelligence services, which was however hidden from the public.

On March 22 in Brussels, ISIS operatives identified as terrorists to state authorities, the El Bakraoui brothers, were able to prepare and carry out attacks, even though Belgian officials had been warned of the timing and targets of the attacks. Now, as NATO powers debate a shift towards pro-Russian forces and away from ISIS in Syria, factional infighting in the intelligence apparatus is erupting into the open. This is the content of yesterday’s lengthyNew York Times feature article, titled “How ISIS built the machinery of terror under Europe’s gaze.”

Will US-Saudi 'special relationship' last?
Much has been written and said in recent months about what some — myself included — have described as a “strain” in US-Saudi relations. Those who subscribe to this view have focused on what appears to be a philosophical difference between the administration of President Barack Obama and the Saudi leadership. While one of the pillars of the "Obama doctrine" appears to rest on the principle that the United States should avoid becoming militarily — or perhaps even politically — entangled in any Middle East conflict unless it poses a serious and imminent threat to its security, the Saudis appear to have adopted a very different if not completely opposite foreign policy posture.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Story the US Does Not Want You to Know
By Joachim Hagopian
Global Research, April 10, 2016
Region: Russia and FSU
nagorno-karabakh-400x297.gif

In the early morning hours of April 1-2 Azerbaijan launched a major military offensive into the disputed region Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) that’s been controlled and defended by NK Armenian forces since the Russian brokered truce ended a bloody three year war in 1994. While Azeri President Ilham Aliyev was flying back to Baku after meeting 24 hours earlier with John Kerry in Washington who claimed “an ultimate resolution” had been reached, Azerbaijan was already once again at war with the NK Armenians.

The surprise element combined with the full scale major military operation spearheading a three pronged attack on Nagorno-Karabakh contact line from the southern, southeastern and northeastern directions resulted in the Aziri army seizing at least five Armenian villages and several strategic elevated heights inside the disputed territory with heavy loss of life reported on both sides including Armenian civilians whose home were shelled by Aziri artillery mortars and rockets. Though a ceasefire three days into the heavy fighting was brokered by Russia, repeated ceasefire breaches and continued combat operations have been observed.



Evidence that you’ll never see in Western MSM coverage is now surfacing from Armenian press documenting not only is the Azeri military still daily violating Tuesday’s ceasefire but far more significant and alarming is that the Azeris have been attacking villages inside the Republic of Armenia, not just in the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave. On Friday April 8 the press secretary of the Armenian Republic Ministry of Defense Artsrun Hovhannisyan disclosed that Azeri forces have been shelling civilian settlements with 120mm mortar fire in the villages of Karmir, Ttujur and Baghanisin within the Armenian provinces of Tavush and Gegharkunet. Fortunately there has been no reported casualties as yet. But when the first victims do get reported, the consequences for Azerbaijan could become far reaching.

By committing an act of war killing Armenian civilians on a second warfront by shelling civilian targets within the Republic of Armenia, the Azeri government is showing that its unilateral aggression remains unfazed, attacking an allied nation holding a mutual defense pact with Russia that stipulates if Armenia is attacked, Russia is compelled to come to Armenia’s aid and defense. Azerbaijan’s artillery shelling may force Russia to shift from acting as prime mediator in the Azeri-Armenian conflict to being drawn into the escalating war against Azerbaijan. The implications of such an expanding war are so serious it could destabilize not just the immediate region but trigger a rippling effect globally.
