Iraq could split if Shi'ite militias enter Mosul: Sunni politician Posted: 28 Nov 2016 12:57 PM PST By Suleiman Al-Khalidi AMMAN (Reuters) - Iraq is at risk of partition and the worst sectarian bloodletting since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion if Shi'ite paramilitary units get involved in the fight against Islamic State for Mosul, a senior Sunni Iraqi politician said on Monday. Iran-backed, Shi'ite-led Popular Mobilization forces, or Hashid Shaabi in Arabic, who are supported by the Shi'ite-led Baghdad government want to play a bigger role in the offensive to regain Islamic State's last major city stronghold in Iraq. "Everyone is looking for salvation from Daesh...but after Daesh is defeated a new dangerous phase will begin if the United States and the government do not address Sunni grievances. |
Islamic State sniper hits Iraqi unit as army inches forward in Mosul Posted: 28 Nov 2016 12:57 PM PST By John Davison MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - The Islamic State sniper was a good shot. The challenge the men faced on Sunday - of dealing with a sole sharpshooter in an area the army entered weeks ago - shows how difficult the battle to recapture Mosul is becoming, with Islamic State deploying snipers and suicide car bombs, and using civilians as human shields to bog down Iraqi forces. The unit from Iraq's 9th Armoured Division had occupied the home in eastern Mosul's Intisar neighborhood just two or three days ago as they make incremental advances against Islamic State as part a U.S.-backed campaign to recapture the city. |

Iraqi special forces screen Mosul men in hunt for suicide bombers Posted: 28 Nov 2016 12:57 PM PST By Michael Georgy MOSUL (Reuters) - One by one, hundreds of Mosul residents raised their shirts to prove they did not have suicide bombs strapped to their bodies, closely watched by Iraqi special forces fearful of the threat posed by Islamic State, even in areas they now control. The men then handed over their identification cards so their names could be checked against a database of wanted Islamic State members, part of the painstaking process of clearing jihadists from each neighborhood of their Mosul stronghold. Every time Iraqi forces capture a section of Mosul in their offensive against Islamic State, it can take up to a week to ensure it is clear of militants. |

Syria denounces Qatar for saying it will continue to back rebels Posted: 28 Nov 2016 09:45 AM PST Syria's Foreign Ministry on Monday denounced comments by Qatar that it will continue to back rebels against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as merely an attempt "to raise the morale of the terrorist groups" in the face of army advances. Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told Reuters in an interview on Sunday that Doha would continue to arm Syrian rebel groups even if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump were to end Washington's support for them. Sheikh Mohammed's remarks showed "the Qatari regime is one of the sources of extremism, terrorism and takfiri thought," Syrian state news agency SANA reported, citing a Foreign Ministry statement. |

OPEC experts make some progress on output deal: delegates Posted: 28 Nov 2016 08:05 AM PST VIENNA (Reuters) - OPEC experts have made some progress in talks on finalizing a preliminary deal to cut oil output but are yet to resolve differences over the production levels of Iran and Iraq, OPEC delegates said on Monday. |
Factbox: OPEC oil cut, if it comes, more face-saver than meaningful - analysts Posted: 28 Nov 2016 07:45 AM PST Although doubts existed over whether the organization, including regional foes Saudi Arabia and Iran, could agree on the mechanism of a cut, many market watchers believed last week a deal would be struck if only to save the group's credibility. Analysts' forecasts for oil prices now vary widely. Should OPEC fail to strike a deal, prices may briefly fall to the low $40s but return to current levels, according to the most bullish forecast, or slide downwards to $40, opening the door to $30 a barrel, according to other predictions. |
Factbox: Contenders, picks for key jobs in Trump's administration Posted: 28 Nov 2016 07:34 AM PST (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is holding more meetings on Monday as he prepares to make high-level appointments, his transition team said. |

Kuwait plans to buy 28 Boeing F-18 jets: official Posted: 28 Nov 2016 07:01 AM PST Kuwait plans to buy 28 Boeing F-18 Super Hornets, a military official said on Monday, 10 days after the U.S. State Department notified Congress of the possible sale of 40 of the warplanes to the Gulf Arab state. Major General Lafi al-Azmi, chief of the military's Armament and Procurement Authority, also said Kuwait planned to return a number of outdated F-18s in its inventory as part of the purchase deal, the official Kuwait News Agency reported. "Given Kuwait's proximity to turbulent locations, we certainly need effective military equipment," he was quoted as saying, in apparent reference to wars in Iraq and Syria. |
Their town now liberated, Iraqi Christians talk of life under ISIS Posted: 28 Nov 2016 06:39 AM PST When Christians fled the small town of Bartalla in August 2014 as Islamic State militants swept toward them, then-14-year-old Ibrahim Matti and his elderly mother stayed behind. Matti and his mother, Jandark Nasi, both Assyrian Christians, spent more than two years living under IS control in and around Mosul. |
Countries That Love Americans During All Political Seasons Posted: 28 Nov 2016 06:34 AM PST It was what you could call the " Freedom fry" era -- many Europeans, and the French in particular, were not fond of U.S. military action and not afraid to show it. Global perceptions of America took a beating during the Bush administration and rebounded significantly during the Obama years, according to the Pew Research Center. In nearly half of 15 the nations polled by Pew this spring, the share of the public with confidence in then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump was in single digits. |

US vets vs. a New England college that stopped flying the American flag Posted: 28 Nov 2016 05:43 AM PST Hundreds of veterans and protesters flocked to a Massachusetts college this weekend after the school decided to temporarily remove all flags – including the American flag – from its campus, a move many deemed unpatriotic and offensive. Protests have broken out across the nation following President-elect Donald Trump's unprecedented and unexpected victory. The latest controversy began after students lowered the flag at Hampshire College, a small liberal arts school in western Massachusetts, to half-mast the day after Mr. Trump won the election. |

Bombs, artillery rain on rebels as Philippines siege rages Posted: 28 Nov 2016 02:56 AM PST The Philippines military dropped bombs from planes and rained artillery shells on southern rebels on Monday, the third day of a siege of militants sympathetic to Islamic State, during which 35 guerrillas have been killed, the army said. Several U.S.-made OV-10B planes circled in the air before diving and dropping payloads on fortified positions of the Maute rebel group, which has occupied a town hall in Lanao province, said army spokesman Major Filemon Tan. Thousands of residents have fled as hundreds of troops, backed by heavy artillery and armoured vehicles, moved in to flush out the rebels. |
