The
New York Times: White House Confirms Killing Of Terrorist Leader In
Yemen
“The United States killed the leader of Al Qaeda’s affiliate in
Yemen, the White House confirmed on Thursday. The confirmation came
about a week after The New York Times first reported that the United
States believed it had killed Qassim al-Rimi, the Qaeda leader, in
January after months of tracing him. The C.I.A. carried out the
airstrike using an unmanned drone, an intelligence official said. The
White House statement had little detail about the operation, but said
it was carried out at the direction of President Trump. The statement
said Mr. al-Rimi’s death will degrade the Yemen affiliate and the
global Qaeda movement and “brings us closer to eliminating the threats
these groups pose to our national security.” Mr. Trump has highlighted
his record of ordering the killing of terrorist leaders and other
adversaries. In his State of the Union address, he highlighted the
Army Delta Force raid that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic
State leader, as well as the drone strike in Baghdad that killed Maj.
Gen. Qassim Suleimani, Iran’s most important general. Mr. al-Rimi was
one of the founders of Yemen’s Qaeda affiliate.”

Neo-Nazi Terror Group The Base Linked To The War In
Ukraine
“After a string of sweeping indictments and arrests, court
documents have illustrated how the neo-Nazi terror group The Base
discussed derailing trains and plotted the assassinations of
anti-fascist activists in the United States. But the group also had
international ambitions. The Base and its leader wanted to form
concrete links between Ukrainian ultra-nationalist military units and
the global neo-Nazi movement. And one American connected to The Base
had already traveled to the war-torn country in search of wartime
experience, VICE has learned. Matthew Ryan Burchfield, a 20-year-old
Virginia native, went to Ukraine in the fall of 2019. The affiliate of
The Base was seeking to join the conflict in Donbas, multiple
confidential sources, online records, social media accounts, and his
own admission confirm. It’s an absurd story, involving a young man who
by his own account went from participating in an accelerationist group
chat to ending up in Ukraine, where Russian-backed paramilitaries are
fighting neo-Nazi factions and the regular military, as part of a
quest to lead “a normal life.”

Journal Constitution: Extremist Blog Had Named Bartow
County Man Targeted In Neo-Nazi Plot
"Recent events appear to have damaged The Base’s reputation among
white supremacists, but Joshua Fisher-Birch, a researcher with the
Counter Extremism Project, said it is too early to say what effect it
will have on the group’s radicalized members. “There are still other
cells out there,” he said. “But they’ve been very quiet.” Fisher-Birch
said the arrests and the revelations about Nazzaro have “tarnished the
brand” and raised fears among its already paranoid following about the
dangers of recruiting members and plotting violence. The arrests in
Georgia are both worrying and embarrassing for the group, he said.
“That the (Georgia) group was infiltrated makes it seem like a big
risk,” he said. “I don’t think any of those guys have been shown in a
positive way. They will be seen as a sort of cautionary tale.”

Examiner: 'Domestic Terrorism': El Paso Mass Shooting Suspect Indicted
On 90 Hate Crime Charges
“The suspect of a mass shooting that resulted in 22 dead at an El
Paso Walmart last August was charged in a 90-count hate crime
indictment on Thursday, opening the suspect up to the death penalty if
convicted. The Justice Department said on Thursday that Patrick
Crusius, 21, posted a four-page racist manifesto, “The Inconvenient
Truth,” on 8chan just prior to the shooting, claiming that “this
attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.” The document
also said he drew inspiration from mass shootings at two mosques in
Christchurch, New Zealand, last March, which resulted in 51 dead and
49 injured. “Now, in the 2020s, we face a resurgent threat of violence
motivated by race,” John Bash, the U.S. attorney for West Texas, said
in a press conference announcing the charges, later tweeting, “Our
team is committed to obtaining justice for the victims of this
horrific hate crime and act of domestic terrorism.” The nine-page
indictment made public Thursday evening charges Crusius with 22 counts
of hate crimes resulting in death, 23 hate crimes involving attempted
murder, and 45 counts of discharging a firearm in connection to the
hate crimes. Following a trial, the suspect could face life in prison
or capital punishment if Attorney General William Barr pursues
it.”
The
Hill: Our Laws Have A Problem Calling Domestic Terrorism What It
Is
“A former Coast Guard lieutenant, Christopher Hasson, was sentenced
to 160 months in prison last week for plotting a series of potential
attacks on targets ranging from the media to elected officials. His
sentencing follows his arrest last year on a litany of charges ranging
from unlawful possession of unregistered silencers to unlawful
possession of firearm silencers unidentified by serial number to
possession of firearms by an unlawful user of an addict to a
controlled substance, and possession of a controlled substance.
Notably absent was one criminal offense. The Justice Department did
not, despite clear evidence of intent, charge Hasson with terrorism.
The current legal framework would not allow for it. However, in early
court filings, the government alleged that Hasson was a domestic
terrorist, with a clear desire to commit acts of political violence.
Despite this, his plea agreement and judgment make no mention of his
list of targets, or his statements calling for a “white homeland.” Nor
do they reference the government’s detention motion, which states in
no uncertain terms that Hasson “intends to murder innocent civilians
on a scale rarely seen in this country.”

The
Guardian: Syrian Kurds To Put Isis Fighters From Dozens Of Countries
On Trial
“Syrian Kurds have said they will hold trials for Islamic State
fighters from more than 50 countries, including about 30 from Britain,
after becoming exasperated by a failure to reach international
agreements over what to do with them. The Kurdish-dominated
administration in north-east Syria said it is holding 1,000 male
fighters in overcrowded detention centres and a further 4,000 Isis
women in refugee camps, many of whom are accused of involvement in the
terror group’s crimes. Local authorities had hoped to strike
agreements with western and other governments to either repatriate
fighters and other accused people to face justice in their home
country or to set up an internationally recognised tribunal. But there
has been no meaningful progress since Isis lost the last of its
territory nearly a year ago. On Thursday, the Syrian Kurdish external
affairs ministry unilaterally declared it would start putting people
on trial. Fener al-Kait, assistant minister in the external affairs
ministry, said: “This is an international crisis and an international
solution must be found. Unfortunately, many states have not responded
to our appeals.”

And Stripes: Raids Net Eight ISIS Members In Syria As US And Partners
Ramp Up Operations
“U.S.-backed forces in Syria captured eight Islamic State group
fighters and affiliates, along with weapons, documents and military
equipment, during a large-scale operation alongside American special
operations troops last week, the military said Thursday. The coalition
and Syrian Democratic Forces have stepped up efforts to stop a
potential ISIS resurgence in the country’s northeastern provinces of
Deir al-Zour and Hassakeh, conducting “multiple raids each week,”
Special Operations Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve said in
a statement. The news came as U.S. Central Command warned that ISIS
“remains cohesive,” with a war chest of hundreds of millions of
dollars available to it, following the October killing of ISIS founder
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. In last week’s clearance operation, hundreds of
Kurdish-led SDF commandos and coalition forces raided several
compounds Jan. 31 to isolate and capture an ISIS sleeper cell, the
coalition said. But first, they danced. A 19-second military video
shows the troops kitted up and performing a “motivational, pre-mission
amp up,” said Army Capt. Charlie Boisner, a spokesman for the task
force.”

24: ISIS Attacks Village In Iraq's Disputed Khanaqin, Kills 2
Civilians
“Members of the so-called Islamic State attacked a village located
in Iraq’s disputed Khanaqin district late Thursday, killing two
civilians and wounding two others, a security source told Kurdistan
24. The incident occurred in the village of Gla, located within Diyala
province. It is just one of the territories disputed by the Iraqi
federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) that
has seen increased terrorist attacks in recent months. Killings and
other insurgent-style operations have continued with regularity,
notably in disputed areas, over two years after the Islamic State lost
all its territorial claims in Iraq and Baghdad declared a final
victory over the extremist organization. In late January, a group of
gunmen suspected to be an Islamic State sleeper cell set up a mock
security checkpoint and abducted seven civilians to the west of
Khanaqin and just south of the Kurdish run Garmiyan Administration. On
Saturday, militants kidnapped two more people in a similar incident
near the same area. Days after the first abduction, senior Turkmen
lawmaker Arshad al-Salihi said that the militant group had executed
many of the abductees—whom he said were members of the Turkmen ethnic
group.”

BBC
News: Kabul Taliban: Spies, Militants And A Mysterious
Assassination
“The fatal shooting of two men in the heart of the Afghan capital
Kabul - a city unfortunately used to violence - went almost unnoticed.
But then, the dead men had hoped to go unnoticed: according to one
source, they were both carrying fake IDs. Exactly what they were doing
in Kabul, and who killed them, remains a mystery that touches upon the
murky links between security services and extremist groups in the
region. Who they really were, at least, has become clear. According to
sources in Pakistani intelligence and militant circles, the men were
senior members of the Pakistani Taliban - a group that has killed
hundreds of Pakistanis in suicide bombings and other attacks. One of
the dead men was Sheikh Khalid Haqqani, who held a key position in the
Pakistani Taliban's leadership council, and formerly served as the
group's deputy leader. He had been accused of involvement in several
high-profile attacks on Pakistani politicians and linked to one of the
country's deadliest militant attacks, the 2014 assault on a school in
Peshawar, which left more than 150 people - mainly children -
dead.”
Fox
News: American Contractor Kidnapped In Afghanistan By Taliban-Linked
Terror Group: Report
“A U.S. contractor from Illinois was kidnapped by
Taliban-associated militants in Afghanistan last week, prompting a
nationwide search involving the FBI and State Department, according to
a report. Mark R. Frerichs, 55, of Lombard, Ill., was abducted last
Friday in the province of Khost, U.S. officials, speaking under
condition of anonymity, told Newsweek. The southeastern province
borders the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, an underdeveloped
region between Afghanistan and Pakistan. U.S. officials believe the
kidnapping was organized by the Haqqani network, an insurgent group
once backed by the CIA to fight the Soviets that now aligns with the
Taliban. The exclusive report in Newsweek, which was published
Wednesday evening, had been held since Monday to allow for the search
to progress further, the outlet said. U.S. officials have been
reluctant to confirm kidnappings, fearing the publicity may endanger
anyone held captive. An unnamed U.S. official confirmed to Fox News an
American was kidnapped in Afghanistan, but since he didn’t work for
the Department of Defense “it is hard to understand his travels and
behaviors.”
The
Hill: What Does Soleimani's Death Mean For
Afghanistan?
“As Iran plans vengeance for the United States’ killing of the
commander of its Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, the U.S. should not
ignore Afghanistan as an important theater where Iran might flex its
muscle. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently warned Iran and the
Taliban about the effect their ties might have on talks between
American negotiators and Taliban representatives. But the prospects of
imminent U.S. withdrawal only increase the chances that Tehran will
stage a patient anti-American covert campaign in Afghanistan. Iran’s
nefarious role in neighboring Afghanistan is no secret. It has long
struggled to bring Afghanistan into its orbit of influence by building
deep and multifaceted relationships with the country’s political and
armed groups. Tehran’s persistent opposition to American presence in
Afghanistan – a factor that drives Iran’s Afghan policy – has,
meanwhile, steadily turned Afghanistan into a competing ground. Even
though Soleimani’s death has affected Iranian subversive activities
across the greater Middle East, its Afghanistan portfolio might
actually get a boost because the man who managed it as Soleimani’s
deputy is now his successor.”

Taliban Shadow District Chief Killed In Afghan Army Overnight
Airstrike
“Three Taliban militants, including a Taliban shadow district
chief, were killed in an overnight Afghan army airstrike in northern
Balkh province, the command of special forces said Friday. “Afghan Air
Force airstrike targeted an area in Chimtal district, Balkh province
Thursday night. The strike killed Taliban shadow district chief Shah
Mohammad Jabar and two Taliban divisional commanders, Mawlawi Qadeem
and Hennayat,” Afghan National Army Special Operations Corps said in a
statement. The targeted militants were planting improvised explosive
devices (IEDs) along a main road, to target security forces in the
district, in the western part of the province, 305 km north of the
country's capital, Kabul, according to the statement. The militants
often use home-made IEDs to make roadside bombs and landmines for
targeting security forces. The Taliban militant group has not made
comments on the report yet.”

The
Wall Street Journal: In Flurry Of Violence, Car Rams Into Israeli
Soldiers And Two Palestinians Killed In Clashes
“A Palestinian driver rammed a car into a group of Israeli soldiers
in Jerusalem, injuring 14 people, and clashes in the West Bank left
two Palestinians dead, one of them a security officer, a week after
President Trump unveiled his peace plan for the region. In separate
incidents, an Arab Israeli who shot and wounded an Israeli police
officer was killed by police in Jerusalem’s Old City, and Israeli
soldiers came under fire from an assailant near the town of Qalqilya
in the West Bank. Thursday’s flurry of violence came as the Trump
administration’s long-awaited peace plan continued to amplify tensions
between Israelis and Palestinians. The West Bank has seen a steady
stream of protests by Palestinians since the plan was unveiled last
week, with some leading to clashes with Israeli security forces.
Palestinians say the plan heavily favors the Israelis by granting
Israel sovereignty over Jerusalem, killing any chance for a viable
Palestinian state to be established, while paving the way for Israel’s
right-wing government to annex lands in the West Bank. The Palestinian
Authority, which governs the Palestinian population in the West Bank,
has threatened to cut security ties with Israel in response, and
Hamas, the political group that rules Gaza, has called for violent
resistance.”

Libya
“The U.N.’s special representative for Libya said Thursday the
country’s warring sides are working to turn a provisional cease-fire
into a formal agreement as they emerged from four days of talks, a
prospect that appears to face steep obstacles. Ghassan Salame, head of
the United Nations support mission in Libya, said rival military
leaders are negotiating the remaining sticking points in a cease-fire
deal. Those include the return of internally displaced people, the
disarmament of armed groups and ways to monitor a truce, which each
side has accused the other of violating. He said the cease-fire would
be monitored by the military representatives in Geneva with support
from the U.N. Mission in Libya. Another unresolved issue, he said, is
how to deal with heavy weaponry, which powerful foreign backers
continue sending to Libya, despite their pledges not to at a
high-profile summit last month in Berlin. “There are still two or
three points of divergence,” Salame told reporters in Geneva. He said
delegates will reconvene Friday to discuss the latest draft. That
agreement must then be sent back to their respective leaders for
approval.”

Africa: Nigeria: Boko Haram - The Politics Of Targeted Killing Of
Christians
“When people know that they are being targeted and killed for their
belief, it does not help much to tell them that they are also being
manipulated, because they know that their victimhood is linked to
their faith. To understand the manipulation component, they must see
more concerted state action directed at destroying the terrorists. For
Boko Haram, targeting Christians for killing has always been a
political act aimed at creating divisions within the enemy, which they
define to be the secular Nigerian state. They deepen the divide
between Christians and Muslims and amplify the hate between them by
depicting brutal killings and beheadings in video clips that they
distribute widely. The abduction of Christian girls for enslavement,
sexual assault or forced conversion to Islam is also part of the same
tactic. The strategic objective is to promote a civil war between
Christians and Muslims that would create easier conditions for them to
build and grow the Caliphate they have always dreamt about. In 2011,
Boko Haram started carrying out high-profile operations with national
and international implications.”

Nigerian Police Kills 250 Militants In Combat
Operation
“Up to 250 militants of an extremist group were killed in a combat
operation by the police in Nigeria's central northern state of Kaduna,
a police spokesman said on Thursday. High profile members of the
outlawed Ansaru extremist group were among those killed when a
combined team of the police forces, backed by helicopters, launched
the operation on Wednesday against the group's hideout at Kuduru
Forest in Kaduna, Frank Mba, the national police spokesman said in a
statement made available to Xinhua in Abuja. The operation in the
Kuduru forest in the neighborhood of Birnin Gwari in Kaduna lasted for
several hours, Mba said. “The operation, which commenced in the early
hours of Wednesday, was necessitated by actionable intelligence
linking terror and criminal elements in the super-camp to series of
terror-related violence, kidnappings, gun-running, cattle rustling and
other heinous crimes across the country,” Mba said. One police
helicopter, which provided aerial and intelligence cover for the
ground troops was hit by the militants using “sophisticated
anti-aircraft rifles”, he said. The police spokesperson said the pilot
and the co-pilot successfully landed the aircraft at the air force
base in Kaduna, and both officers who “sustained non-life threatening
injuries” had received treatment.”

“Authorities in Northern Ireland said Thursday that militants with

on the day of Brexit saying there was a bomb on a truck at the Belfast
docks, according to the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The caller
said the truck was headed for a ferry to Scotland. Another call was
made to the same newspaper Monday with new information. After a
daylong search, police found a bomb aboard a truck in the Northern
Ireland town of Lurgan. Police Assistant Chief Constable George Clarke
said the caller told authorities “the intention had been for that

Kingdom left the European Union.” The bombers apparently picked the
wrong truck, because the explosives-laden vehicle remained at a
haulage company's yard in Lurgan until it was discovered. Police said
they believed the bomb plot was the work of a group of pro-Irish

News: Terror Offenders Due To Be Freed 'Told They Will Not Be' -
Lawyer
“Terror offenders who were due to be released from prison in the
next two months are being told they will not be let out under planned
new laws. Earlier this week, the government said that new terror
legislation to end automatic early release will apply to current as
well as future offenders. Lawyer Simon Creighton said one client who
was due to be freed in March had been told his release date has
changed. Mr Creighton said a number of offenders were likely to
challenge the new laws. “I'd imagine it's inevitable that it will go
the Supreme Court,” he said. Mr Creighton said those affected, who are
currently serving sentences, were a “wide range” of offenders
including animal rights activists, “people fighting Islamic terrorism
with the Kurds”, and Islamist extremists.The government had already
announced plans for tougher terror laws, including an end to automatic
early release half-way through their sentence. Instead, it would be up
to the Parole Board to decide if people convicted of terrorism
offences should be released after serving two thirds of their
sentence. But there were no proposals for the new measures to apply
retrospectively, until last Sunday's attack in Streatham when
convicted terror offender Sudesh Amman - who had been out of prison
less than two weeks - stabbed two people.”
The
Guardian: Terror Police's Extinction Rebellion 'Risk Report' Sent Out
A Year Ago
“Counter-terrorism chiefs ordered a formal assessment of whether
Extinction Rebellion was a national security threat one year ago and
then sent a secret report about the group to police forces, the
Guardian has learned. The revelation shows that counter-terrorism
police’s interest in the non-violent climate emergency group began
earlier and was more extensive than previously thought. Police insist
that the confidential assessment, which was titled Rising Up,
concluded that XR was not a terrorist or extremist threat, and was
sent to regional counter-terrorism units and “policing partners”. They
have declined to give any more detail about what it covered. The
document from the Counter Terrorism Policing’s National Operations
Centre (CTPNOC) was marked as sensitive and produced in February 2019,
soon after XR was formed in October 2018. It was needed, police say,
because the group was attracting a “large following” and
counter-terrorism specialists needed to assess their “goals and
methods”. The Guardian first revealed that a counter-terrorism
document from November 2019 labelled XR as extremist last month, which
police apologised for and withdrew only after its existence was made
public.”

A Far-Right Coup Galvanizes German Democracy
“Germans should be proud of the democracy they’ve built since 1949,
as they behold the dramatic events unfolding in the otherwise sleepy
regional capital of Erfurt, in the eastern state of Thuringia.
Right-wing populists may grasp for power there as they do elsewhere in
Europe and the world. But political culture in Germany, built upon the
ruins of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich, appears to be
resolutely staring them down. It was only yesterday, on Feb. 5, that a
far-right populist party, the AfD, engineered a tactical coup in the
Thuringian state parliament that could have, or so it hoped,
normalized extremism in German politics. But within hours, Germany’s
entire political mainstream stood up in defiance. Protesters took to
the streets in Erfurt, Berlin and other cities. By today, the coup was
all but undone, and the country seems more united than ever against
extremism. The AfD’s parliamentary maneuver involved secretly
switching its support in the third round of balloting, thereby
toppling the incumbent premier and helping instead to elect the
obscure candidate of another party, the liberal Free Democrats, which
has the smallest contingent in the chamber. His name is Thomas
Kemmerich. Whether or not he had had a hunch of the AfD’s scheme is
unclear.”
