Show this video to west and get bigger rockets for counter attacks bcos I think once we are done with IS sunni, Shia IS will attack us...
and as always we are getting attacked by islamic countries/groups
Because we're surrounded by Islamic countries, who else should attack us? If we were surrounded by Christian countries, Christians would attack us, if we were surrounded by Jewish countries, Jews would attack us, if we were surrounded by atheistic countries, atheists would attack us. It doesn't matter who our neighbours are, as long we have a land-dispute, they'll try to harm us. Nationalism comes before faith for all nations.

FBI: US identifies masked militant in beheading videos
Quote:
 
The FBI has identified the militant in the videos depicting the killings of two US journalists and a British aid worker, the agency's director has said.
But James Comey says the FBI will not yet release the name of the Islamic State fighter, so-called Jihadi John, who seemed to speak with a British accent.
UK Foreign Minister Philip Hammond told CNN this week they were "getting warm" on the identity of the masked man.
Tom Esslemont reports.

Kurds should play a strategic role in Middle East

September 25, 2014 by KPF

By Robert Caruso

There is a military solution in Iraq, despite what Obama recently told the world, and it all starts with the Kurds. The international coalition should and can shape the future of Syria and Iraq with military force.
Working with Kurdish groups, the coalition can identify an inclusive government-in-waiting in Syria, return areas with Kurdish populations to Kurdish control, and conduct partnered military operations. Properly equipped, a unified and moderate Kurdish opposition will dismantle the Islamic State while also combating Iranian influence. Why should we stand in their way?

Baghdad cannot be considered a credible partner any longer in Iraq, by Kurds or the coalition. Iran’s Shia militia proxies control Baghdad and exercise significant influence over Iraqi military operations, and Baghdad–at Iran’s direction–has not allocated money earmarked for South Kurdistan for almost a year. The international coalition should launch, with Kurdish assistance, an aggressive counter intelligence operation to identify and detain Shia informants and spies working for Iran across Iraq. Simultaneously, the coalition should establish air corridors originating from Erbil and begin conducting daily airstrikes in Kirkuk and Mosul. Over time, the coalition should establish a significant presence behind Kurdistan’s borders, replete with barracks and storage depots—and ultimately, the headquarters of the various coalition task forces operating in Iraq.

To counter the tactical advantage held by IS and the Shia militias, moderate Sunni and Kurdish groups across the region should be armed and trained and equipped by special operations forces. Haidar al-Abadi’s new government in Baghdad is not inclusive and will not garner support of Iraq’s Sunni Arabs. Additionally, Iraq’s security apparatus is an extension of Iran’s military, presenting obstacles to Sunni inclusion.

These missions will require thousands of coalition troops inside Iraq and Syria. The bulk of this effort can be handled by special operations forces and quick reaction forces provided by NATO, but Kurds from across the region will play a pivotal role in combating the foreign fighters coming from Iran, Syria, and, Turkey. Additional coalition forces may be required to establish bases in Erbil and along the Kurdish-Syrian border, to provide battlefield medical services, interrogate detainees, process intelligence, and build helicopter pads and landing strips for propeller planes. Ultimately, the critical enabler will be Kurdish forces from across the region. Vetted groups should be provided with Javelin anti-tank missiles, Mine Resistant-Ambush Protected trucks, and night vision equipment to provide an unfair tactical advantage at night.

Kurdish groups require extensive technical assistance today. It cannot wait any longer. The international community has given enough excuses and must act urgently before it’s too late. It’s time to stand tall, and we should stand beside all Kurds in the war against Daesh–and Iran’s schemes.

US Air Raids Kill IS Fighters, Hit Oil Installations to Choke Funds

NEW YORK – US air raids continued to pound US air strikes on Islamic State (IS) positions in Iraq and Syria on Thursday and early Friday, as British and other European lawmakers looked set to approve bombing missions.

The US Central Command said that American military forces conducted 10 airstrikes against IS, the group also known as ISIS or ISIL.

It said that in Iraq, airstrikes south of Kirkuk destroyed several vehicles used by militants, with raids also west of Baghdad and another near Al-Qaim. In Syria, three airstrikes south and southeast of Deir el-Zour destroyed four tanks in IS hands.

France is the only European nation that has so far sent warplanes into the fray, but Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands have also asked lawmakers to allow their air forces into the frontlines.

Brigadier General Sarhad Qadir, the local police chief in Kirkuk, said that one of the raids Thursday south of Kirkuk had killed a large number of IS fighters, including two senior leaders.

He identified the dead IS leaders as Abu Abida and Niama Abid Naif, also known as Abu Fatima.

When hit, the pair was at a “welcoming ceremony” near the village of al-Bashir, receiving a large number of jihadi fighters from Mosul, the IS stronghold in Iraq, and Raqqa in Syria, which the group has declared the capital of its “caliphate.”

Sources said that Abu Fatima was an IS Wali, or leader, and Abu Abida a senior military commander in Kirkuk province. US officials have not confirmed those deaths.

Air raids by US and Arab allies have also targeted oil refineries in IS hands in eastern Syria, in an effort to halt a multimillion dollar crude operation that funds the group’s caliphate-building.

Raids on 12 refineries took place overnight Wednesday by aircraft from the US, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – members of a coalition of some 50 countries that seek to rout IS, a sectarian Sunni militia of more than 30,000 fighters.

“These small-scale refineries provide fuel to run ISIL operations, money to finance their continued attacks throughout Iraq and Syria, and they are an economic asset to support future operations,” Pentagon spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said on Thursday.

The high-profile inclusion of Sunni Arab states is seen as a way to legitimize a US-dominated coalition against Islamists. The Gulf’s aviators include the UAE’s first female pilot, Maj. Mariam al-Mansouri, and a son of Saudi Crown Prince Salman, Khaled.

Meanwhile on Thursday, FBI director James Comey said the bureau has identified the IS fighter who was dubbed “Jihadi John” by UK media. He speaks with a London accent and appeared in videos showing the killing of two US journalists and a British aid worker.

Comey said he would not reveal the man’s identity. American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines were killed by a masked, knife-wielding man – events that hardened Western attitudes against IS.

In New York, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani addressed the UN General Assembly and blamed the rise of IS and like-minded extremists on Western "strategic blunders" – although he did not blame the CIA directly.

“Certain intelligence agencies have put blades in the hands of madmen, who now spare no one," Rouhani told the 193-nation body. “All those who have played a role in founding and supporting these terror groups must acknowledge their errors.”

US President Barack Obama says IS can be defeated with US-led airstrikes and by arming and equipping Kurds, Iraqis and moderate elements of Syria’s opposition as ground forces. Critics say he lacks reliable allies, over-depends on air-power and has no plan for ending Syria’s civil war.

Meanwhile, more than 120 Islamic scholars have written a letter that accuses IS of having “misinterpreted Islam into a religion of harshness, brutality, torture and murder”. The signatories are all prominent Sunni men from across the Muslim World and the West.

They add to a growing chorus of Muslims who reject the extremist group’s self-declared name, saying the group is neither Islamic nor a state. Its longer titles, ISIS and ISIL, refer to the “Iraq and al-Sham” and “Iraq and the Levant” regions.

Some Arabs and French-speakers use the Arabic acronym, Daesh, as a derogatory term for the hardliners.

Kurdish peace process at breaking point

The attack of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on Kobani, a border town between Turkey and Syria, has brought Turkey to a critical breaking point with the Kurds, although it did open its border to Syrian Kurds last weekend. What is breaking down and what are the implications?

Turkey couldn’t remain indifferent to the upcoming massacre of the Rojava Kurds, having recently witnessed the massacre of the Yazidis in KRG. So, due to humanitarian reasons and also to the mounting international pressure, Ankara decided to open its borders. However the main reason was the ongoing peace process. Both the Peoples’ Democratic’ Party (HDP) and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) accuse Turkey of not having aided the Kurds in Kobani. They even interpret Ankara’s silence as amounting to support for the ISIL attack. Their recent statements reveal that the peace process is on the brink of a critical breaking point.

Turkey’s demand to form a buffer zone along the border in Syria further boosted Kurdish reactions. This week Murat Karayılan, a PKK leader, said that such a zone would mean “the invasion of Kurdistan,” also adding that the peace process has ended. Kurds believe that by forming a buffer zone Turkey aims to destroy the semi-autonomous Kurdish entity in northern Syria (Rojava).

This concern is not unfounded. Ankara has always been distant from the PYD, which is the dominant PKK-affiliated group in Rojava. The main reasons why Turkey is pushing for buffer zone are the provision of humanitarian aid, the accommodation of Syrian refugees and the training of moderate Syrian rebels. But there is one more reason that is as influential as the others: To control Rojava.

However, it is no longer possible for Turkey to pursue this policy. First of all, today the only fighting power on the ground is the Kurdish peshmerga, along with the PKK and the PYD, the Iraqi army and the Shiite militia. Moreover, Kurds are giving the strongest resistance on the ground. So excluding the PKK and the PYD from this front would seriously weaken the fighting power. The PYD has also stated on a number of occasions that it wants to coordinate its forces with the coalition.

Moreover, the Kurds’ success against ISIL has provided them with a major strategic gain in the eyes of the West. Some have even started to consider the PKK a constructive actor, thus also the PYD. It is reported that U.S. officials are regularly visiting Rojava these days. However, Turkey’s attitude toward Rojava also restricts the U.S. This is said to be the main reason why the coalition has not extended its air operation to Kobani.

Most importantly, isolating Rojava puts the peace process at existential risk. The leaders of the BDP and the PYD, Selahattin Demirtaş and Salih Muslim, both recently made this warning. In addition, the PKK may soon raise its demands, as it knows that its perception has changed in a positive way and that the international coalition desperately needs it. Therefore it is crucial to accelerate the peace process before it turns against Ankara and the situation becomes graver.

Besides, Turkey is now Kobani’s only gate to the outside world as the ISIL is besieging it from the west, east and south. This is why all Kurds look to Ankara for help. (LOL)Therefore, in the event that Kobani falls, Kurds’ rage toward ISIL might be directed towards Turkey.

The KRG administration has already stated that it is “disappointed” that Ankara didn’t help them in their fight. Relations between Turkey and Hewlêr would become even more sour if Ankara turns its back on Kobani. This would also take away Turkey’s chance of bringing the Kurds in the region together and into its sphere of influence.

Beyond all of this, the borders between Hewlêr , Turkey and Rojava, have become totally irrelevant. In the last two days Hewlêr has been delivering its humanitarian aid to Kobani via Turkey. Moreover, when the forces of ISIL, the U.S. and the coalition are soon gone from this region, Turkey will be left alone with the Syrian Kurds along its borders.

What more can I say?

Two British RAF fighter jets have entered Iraqi airspace — Defence Ministry says they are ready to hit any possible targets.

RAF jets sent on Iraqi combat mission

Two RAF jets are on their first combat mission over Iraq since Parliament authorised air strikes targeting Islamic State (IS) militants.

The Tornado jets took off from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed.

It said the planes were "ready to use in an attack role as and when appropriate targets are identified".

The action comes after Parliament voted by 524 votes to 43 to take action against IS in Iraq, but not Syria.

RAF Tornados have been flying reconnaissance missions over Iraq for the past six weeks, but these are the first flights since they have been authorised to launch air strikes.

The planes were loaded with laser-guided bombs and missiles.

BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said it was possible the planes would return without having used their weapons, but that would be confirmed only later.

The Tornados, which were reported to have taken off at 08:30 BST, were supported by a Voyager air-to-air refuelling aircraft.

The Ministry of Defence said: "We can confirm that, following parliamentary approval given yesterday, RAF Tornados continue to fly over Iraq and are now ready to be used in an attack role as and when appropriate targets are identified.

"For operational security reasons we will not be providing a running commentary on movements; we will provide an update on activity when it is appropriate to do so."

At the scene: BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale

We were taken to the runway at RAF Akrotiri to witness the Tornados preparing for their first potential combat mission.

Two of the six Tornados deployed to Cyprus taxied to the runway. You could clearly see the laser-guided bombs and missiles loaded and armed as well as a rapid-firing cannon as they took off.

Though RAF Tornados have been flying reconnaissance missions over Iraq for the past six weeks, this was very different. From now on they've been authorised to hit targets on the ground.

It's likely to be the first of many missions - the start of what could be another long war involving British forces.

IS - also known as Isis or Isil - controls large swathes of Syria and Iraq after rapid advances through the region in the summer.

It has been using the Syrian city of Raqqa as the capital of its self-declared caliphate.

IS militants who had besieged the town of Kobane near Syria's border with Turkey are reported to have been targeted by air strikes.

Warplanes circled through Friday night and explosions were heard in the early hours, the BBC's Paul Wood said.

The United States has been carrying out air strikes in KRG since mid-August, and was supported by the French since last week. About 40 countries in total, including several from the Middle East, have joined the US in taking action against IS.

Prime Minister David Cameron said British aircraft were there to "play our part" in the international coalition amassed against IS.

Speaking during a visit on Saturday to Didcot, Oxfordshire, ahead of the Conservative Party conference, he said: "We are one part of a large international coalition.

"But the crucial part of that coalition is that it is led by the Iraqi government, the legitimate government of Iraq, and its security forces.

"We are there to play our part and help deal with this appalling terrorist organisation."

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told BBC Newsnight that the aim in Iraq was to "push" IS out of the country and improve its security situation within its "existing borders".

"You should not expect immediate shock and awe - a wave of fighters or bombers taking off," he said.

At least two British hostages are thought to be being held by IS - journalist John Cantlie and taxi driver Alan Henning, who had been delivering humanitarian aid to Syria.

The defence secretary said the UK would not allow "overall strategic decisions" to be affected by the plight of the men.

"Both those lives very sadly are in danger anyway," Mr Fallon said.

Who are Islamic State (IS)?

Formed out of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) in 2013, IS first captured Raqqa in eastern Syria
It captured broad swathes of Iraq in June, including Mosul, and declared a "caliphate" in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq
Pursuing an extreme form of Sunni Islam, IS has persecuted non-Muslims such as Yazidis and Christians, as well as Shia Muslims, whom it regards as heretics
Known for its brutal tactics, including beheadings of soldiers, Western journalists and aid workers
The CIA says the group could have as many as 31,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria

That's where you failed, because shias don't believe in an islamic state until a caliph is appointed by God. That being the Mehdi.

And how do you know what goes on in Iraq?
