Saudi mosque suicide bomber threatened Shi'ites, Saudi soldiers: audio Posted: 27 Oct 2015 02:33 PM PDT The Islamic State suicide bomber who carried out an attack on a Shi'ite mosque in the Saudi city of Najran on Monday threatened Shi'ites and Saudi soldiers, according to a posthumous audio message purportedly by the attacker. Najran, close to the Yemeni border, is the historic center of the Ismailis, a Shi'ite sect which has long complained of victimization by Wahhabis, who follow the Saudi state's prevailing school of Sunni Islam. "My second message, to the soldiers of the tyrant who protect the polytheists and their temples in (Saudi Arabia) ... you will not be safe in your homes or your offices and we'll target you as long as the planes of your guardian hit Muslims with Crusader planes in Iraq and Syria." Saudi Arabia is part of a U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State militants that has carried out a campaign of air strikes against the militants, who have seized parts of Syria and Iraq. |

Syria suggests U.S. should have spent rebel training funds on aid Posted: 27 Oct 2015 12:34 PM PDT By Michelle Nichols UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Syria suggested on Tuesday that the United States could have spent $500 million tackling Syria's refugee and humanitarian crisis instead of on a largely failed program to train and equip moderate rebels fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad. Syrian United Nations Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari also accused Saudi Arabia and Qatar of supporting "terrorism with great generosity" rather than a $2.9 billion U.N. humanitarian response plan that is less than 40 percent funded for 2015. "The United States spent half a billion dollars - this is enough to fill the humanitarian deficit - half a billion dollars ... within the framework of the program to train and to equip the moderate opposition," Ja'afari told a U.N. Security Council briefing on the humanitarian situation in Syria. |

Sympathizing with Islamists is not a crime, German court rules Posted: 27 Oct 2015 08:43 AM PDT German prosecutors failed to get a tougher sentence for a woman who married a jihadist and took her young daughters to Syria, the Federal Court of Justice said on Tuesday in a landmark ruling that could affect future trials of suspected Islamists. A court in Munich last year handed the now 30-year old woman an 18-month suspended sentence for taking her two daughters away to Syria without the knowledge of their father. Intelligence agencies say some 740 Islamists from Germany, of whom a fifth are women, have traveled to Syria and Iraq. |
Bombs kill four in Iraq, mortars target police training center: sources Posted: 27 Oct 2015 08:38 AM PDT At least four people were killed by bomb blasts in Iraq on Tuesday and mortars targeted a police training facility, security and medical sources said, wounding two officers. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but Islamic State militants who seized swathes of northern and western Iraq last year regularly target security and civilian targets. Iraq is also gripped by a sectarian conflict mostly between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims that has been exacerbated by the rise of the ultra-hardline Sunni group, Islamic State. |
Iran has over 1,000 troops in Iraq, less than 2,000 in Syria: U.S. general Posted: 27 Oct 2015 08:14 AM PDT Washington believes there are fewer than 2,000 Iranian troops in Syria helping the forces of President Bashar al-Assad and more than 1,000 in Iraq supporting the Baghdad government, the top U.S. military officer said on Tuesday. Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the number of Iranian forces in Iraq had fluctuated over time. "I think there's more than 1,000 that are on the ground in Iraq," Dunford said. |

Twelve air strikes in Iraq were concentrated near Sinjar, Kisik and Ramadi, a Sunni city in western Iraq that was captured by Islamic State in May, said the statement on Tuesday.

Finland narrows asylum criteria for Somalis Posted: 27 Oct 2015 03:50 AM PDT Improved security in large parts of Somalia means that Finland is likely to grant asylum to fewer Somalis arriving in the Nordic state, its immigration service said on Tuesday. Around 24,000 of the more than 680,000 refugees and migrants to have streamed into the European Union from war-torn and deprived areas of the Middle East, Africa and Asia have entered Finland and both it and the EU at large have struggled to cope. The Finnish Immigration Service said that given improved security in southern and central Somalia as well as the capital Mogadishu, not all Somalis coming from these areas could now be deemed "to run a personal risk of falling victim to violence". |
