Islamic State Is Stepping Up Offensive in Syria

damascus

Islamic State fighters entered a Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus on Wednesday. Clashes with a Palestinian group were recorded. It is the deepest invasion yet by the extremist group into the Syrian capital, according to new reports.

Jordan reacted to the news by closing its only border crossing with Syria which was functional, after heavy clashes on the Syrian side between government forces and opposition militants.

Islamic State, who controls large parts of territory in northern Syria, penetrated the Yarmouk camp from the Hajar Aswad neighborhood. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced that the IS group took control of some large parts of the camp. Full control of the camp would mean a first step towards the heart Damascus, the capital of Syria.

The Observatory said heavy clashes took place in the camp between IS militants and fighters of an anti-Assad Palestinian faction named Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis.

Anwar Raja, the spokesperson for the pro-Assad Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, added that Islamic State fighters had been based in the Hajar Aswad neighborhood for the last few months. He explained that Wednesday’s push into the camp was a joint operation of IS and a rival group, the Nusra Front, which is al-Qaida’s branch in Syria.

“The Nusra Front opened the road for them in order to infiltrate the camp and several hours ago they entered Yarmouk,” Raja said by telephone, as quoted by the Associated Press.

Yarmouk, a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Damascus, has already been under siege, but by government forces, for nearly two years. U.N. aid workers have been sending aid to the camp, where thousands of desperate civilians live. The camp was a fighting scene in the past between government forces and militants who control much of the camp.

The U.N. agency that supports Palestinians (UNRWA) announced it is extremely worried about the safety of the Syrian and Palestinian civilians in Yarmouk, especially the children.

A spokesman for the rebel fighters in southern Syria, Issam al-Rayess, announced that militants were trying to gain control of the border crossing from Syrian authorities. The Nasib pass is the only working crossing between Jordan and Syria and is a very important gateway for Syria’s government and for Syrian, Jordanian, Lebanese merchants and traders.

A Syrian Foreign Ministry statement accused Jordanian authorities for “obstructing the movement of trucks and passengers and any ensuing economic or social repercussions.”

UN Security Council, Accused of ”Failing Syrian Civilians”

By Leave a Comment

syria

A joint report compiled by humanitarian agencies accused international powers of failing in the attempt to solve the crisis from Syria.

The conclusions drawn by the United Nations and a global coalition of aid agencies point to the fact that powerful states had put their own interests ahead and have failed the victims of the Syrian conflict.

According to Stephane Dujarric, a spokesman for the UN chief, civilians in Syria endured their ”worst year” since the war began. He added that the UN still believes in finding a political solution to the crisis and asked the international powers to unite.

The spokesperson also mentioned that President Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons were mostly removed, but that getting humanitarian aid to the country is very difficult, while the supply of weapons to the belligerent parties was just making things worse. Mr Dujarric explained that the UN ”have found a lack of political will to move forward in a united fashion to stop the fighting”.

The Failing Syria report speaks about the dreadful numbers of the war. At least 76,000 Syrians were killed in 2014, the deadliest year in the conflict since it started, while aid access is still poor. Around five million people reside in areas that the UN considers ”hard to reach”, one million more than in 2013.

More than five million children are in need of aid, a 31% increase since 2013, while in 2014 the funding for humatiarian aid have dropped to 57% of the needs, from 71% in the previous year.

The Failing Syria was compiled by agencies like Save the Children and Oxfam. It accused the 15 member Security Council of not fulfilling their pledges to increase aid access and alleviate suffering.

an Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, one of the groups involved in the report, said: “The bitter reality is that the Security Council has failed to implement its resolutions. Parties to the conflict have acted with impunity and ignored the Security Council’s demands, civilians are not protected and their access to relief has not improved”.

In 2014, The Security Council passed three resolutions which called for an end to attacks on civilians, but also to an increase in aid. The resolutions also asked for the UN to operate freely in Syria, without permission from Damascus.

Jordan’s king vows revenge for pilot’s blood”, to personally fly sorties to bomb ISIS

By Leave a Comment

While the nation woke up to the news that ISIS has killed the captured Jordanian pilot, the manner in which the pilot was killed has evoked a keen sense of disgust and horror across the civilized world. The Jordanian government has declared an all out war against ISIS and the Jordanian King , himself a trained Cobra helicopter pilot has vowed that he will personally lead the strikes against the ISIS targets.

A report in Arabic-language news site said, “The Jordanian King Abdullah II will participate personally on Thursday in conducting air strikes against the shelters of the terrorist ISIL organization to revenge the execution of the Jordanian pilot by the ISIL.”

In what is seen as a determination of Jordan’s king to exact revenge for the brutal manner in which ISIS murdered a pilot of his Air Force, the king will be co-piloting a warplane and wage anti-ISIS airstrikes. King Abdullah II was a Major General in charge of Jordanian Special Forces, before being crowned as the monarch.

The gruesome manner in which the Jordanian pilot was killed has evoked intense revulsion across the Arab World and the Jordanian monarch has promised a relentless war against the Islamic Caliphate and vowed that the pilot’s blood will not be in vain. The Jordanian government has said that the nation is even more determined to combat the ISIS than ever before.  The king called the war against ISIS as a war of principles and ISIS was not only against Jordan but also against Islam and its pure values.

ISIS had released a 22 minutes video which showed the captured Jordanian F-16 pilot being burnt alive in a cage.

Trial against Erol Incedel has “Unusual Features”

By Leave a Comment

Incedel and BlairAccording to prosecutor Richard Whittam, Erol Incedal, age 26, plotted an attack against a significant individual or killings that would resemble the attacks in Mumbai in 2008, leaving 174 people dead. Incedal, who is from London, is now standing trial in a court of law to determine his true intentions, as well as fate.

Whittam added that while count one does not suggest Incedal settled on one particular target or a specific methodology to carry out the threats, looking at the context of the case in whole along with the evidence gathered, the fact that he knew where Blair and his family live is significant.

Later in the proceedings, the court was made aware of several emails going between Incedel and an unknown individual, which contained unique coded messages. In one, there was a coded word “k 11 22 aaa shhh” that according to prosecutors could have been a reference to Kalashnikov rifles. In another message, “mo88m 55bayy style” was written, which he believes has something to do with the Mumbai-style attack.

As the jury sat and listened, they learned that Incedel had initially been stopped by law enforcement officials in September of last year. Because of growing suspicions and increased evidence, investigators used the opportunity to place a bugging device in his Mercedes. Weeks later in October, Incedel along with Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar were arrested when stopped in East London.

The prosecutor told the jury that both men were carrying an iPhone inside a protective case and that between the device and the case was a memory card containing a bomb-making document. Just last week, Rarmoul-Bouhadjar pled guilty to being in possession of material beneficial to terrorism.

The jury was also told about an iPhone recovered during the investigation on which there was the material in support of Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, as well as photographs of various synagogues.

Although jurors were provided with extensive details, they were advised yesterday that some parts of the trial would never be made public. In today’s proceedings, jurors remained behind closed doors and are forbidden from talking about the things they hear and learn.

To observe the ongoing courtroom proceedings, 10 journalists will be locked in the room but banned from revealing anything said. Noted by Justice Nicol, this particular trial has unusual features. He added that the usual method of justice being administered is in the public but that this trial would be conducted differently. In fact, evidence heard in a third part of the trial will exclude all journalists.
