    Update: All AreAs in Al Shaqeef near Castello road are recaptured by JaF ...

    Castello will reopen انشالله.

    Pay close attention, taking that position makes Salma & many other villages as good as gone from assadist control.

    Things around #Aleppo getting v. ugly - siege will have big implications.
    Renewed “ceasefire” totally irrelevant.
    US seemingly powerless.

    Noticeable change for Jabhat Akrad logo on the right of the photo. FSA flag has been removed in the new logo.

    New group in Northern Aleppo, Sareya Jaljalat, decided to attack YPG on first day of Eid around Mranaz.

    Ali al-Usaymi, British Daeshi arrested in Kuwait a week ago, apparently proving very cooperative, esp on Assad ties.


    (Zaman al-Wasl)- Few days only passed after the recapture of ex-ISIS fighter by Kuwaiti authorities that he confessed confidential information related to ISIS especially ISIS connection with Assad regime and Iran along with ISIS marketing oil, the main source of ISIS income.

    Kuwaiti al-Jareede Newspaper reported some of the “fascinating” confessions of Ali Omar nicknamed as Abu Turab confirming that Ali Omar “attended personally coordination meetings with bodies representing Assad regime and Iranian intelligence.” It is a very dangerous confession coming from ISIS significant member.

    So who is Ali Omar which Kuwaiti intelligence thought of as precious hunt and whose confessions, some published, confirm the expectations?

    Zaman al-Wasl investigated ISIS archive and found this precious hunt is only Ali Mohamed Omar al-Usaymi according to ISIS registration data form regulated by General Administration of Borders. The registration form is filled by new joiners as soon as they enter Syrian lands.

    According to the form, the Ali’s nickname is Abu Turab al-Kuwaiti. His mother’s name is Husa (Zaman al-Wasl indicates al-Jareeda newspaper published his mother’s full name).

    The fourth field in the registration form says his blood type is O+ and his date of birth 03/12/1988 and national of Kuwait.

    According to the form, al-Usayimi is single; however, he got married after entering Syria with a Syrian woman and had one child. His address is al-Umayiriya/ Kita 3 street 101 No 3 and his education; he was a navy officer in England.

    The registration form shows that Abu Turab entered Syria on April 16 2014 via al-Raee cross point in Aleppo countryside by the recommendation of Thuban al-Ghamdi and his entrance was facilitated by Abu Ilyas al-Maghribi.

    Al-Usyaimi did not mention any contact details, but he only pointed to Mudafet al-Akhawat, his mother, which confirms what Kuwaiti press said that his mother is involved for real in propaganda for ISIS and recruiting young men.

    To return to what al-Jareeda reported on behalf of senior officials, al-Usayimi confirmed ISIS has a good connection with Assad regime and Iranian intelligence, and he confessed he personally attended coordination meetings with Assad regime and Iran intelligence.

    Al-Jareeda indicated Kuwaiti authorities arrested al-Usayimi with his mother Husa Mohamed. The two revealed a treasure of intelligence information which amazed the International Coalition against ISIS.

    Abu Turab revealed to the intelligence how ISIS smuggles oil and sells it in black market of regional countries and international traders. He mentioned names of individuals involved in this trade.

    Abu Turab’s statements are important because he was one of the ones responsible for exporting oil in ISIS-controlled oil fields in Syria and Iraq. He estimated the number of Kuwaiti and al-Bidoun fighting with ISIS in Syria and Iraq to be around 100 persons.

    Al-Bidounis a Kuwaiti terminology called on persons who do not hold Kuwaiti citizenship or any other citizenship.

    Zaman al-Wasl owns documents which reveal tens of Kuwaiti persons recruited in ISIS as new joiners as well as key persons who recruited others in ISIS.

    Abu Turab pointed out in his confessions that Kuwaitis and Bidoun who joined ISIS have exited Kuwait on different pretexts including, Going for Umra, study, tourism in Turkey. He confirmed there are no Kuwaiti females in ISIS except for his mother who returned with him.

    Also, he added the leadership of ISIS in Syria are Iraqis and that most of ISIS members are from Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria in addition to Saudis.

    ISIS choose al-Usayimi to assume an important post in oil sector because he speaks excellent English and to invest in his field of study. The young man was about to graduate from one of the most important navy academies in England, South Tyneside College for Navy Studies. He was supposed to by employed in Kuwaiti Oil company, but he dropped off school and his dream job to join ISIS.

    Talks about al-Usayimi circulated in last May after his joined ISIS. Back then, military experts warned of ISIS using his expertise to launch terrorist attacks.

    Back then, his uncle explained al-Usayimi was affected a lot with killing of his small brother during fighting with extremists adding “he seemed a different person after his brother was killed. He would not talk to everyone like before. He was used to call his family every two weeks and he visited them end of 2013 and that was the last time they heard of him.”

    Kuwait ministry of interior announced late Monday arrest of al-Usayimi. They brouth him from abroad was his mother, Husa Mohamed (born in 1964) in addition to his child born in Raqqa from his Syrian wife.

    The ministry of interior said al-Usayimi confessed he joined ISIS with his mother under his mother’s incitement. He explained she pushed her small son first Abduallh, born in 1991, to join ISIS. He was killed during his terrorist battles in Iraq. Later on, Ali Omar dropped off his school in England to go with his mother to ISIS in Raqqa.

    He assumed a post related to oil and gas fields while his mother was teaching wives and sons of the terrorists and to motivate them psychologically and intellectually.
    Ali al-Usaymi, Brit, ex-Navy, joined #IS, captured in Kuwait, confesses to personally attending coordination meetings with #Assad + #Iran.

    DoD, 6 July:
    - #IS oil sales halved (to $15m per month) since Op TIDAL WAVE II began 10/2015
    - 303 anti-oil strikes conducted since 09/2014

    Yesterday, Russia denied they had lost any helicopters in Syria
    http://tass.ru/en/defense/887211

    mod_russia denies ISIS shot down Mi-25 #helicopter in #Syria but admits it was shot down by ISIS but denies denying

    Ru media sources confirm helicopter downed in Syria, say 55 helicopter regiment cmdr colonel Habibullin was killed. https://lenta.ru/news/2016/07/09/vertolet/

    Assad regime states the two Russian pilots were "instructors".....

    Who operates Assad jets and helis? Undercover Russian 'instructors'. Like those 'instructors' of 'Buk' downed #MH17

    Russian 'instructors' were piloting a Syrian Mi-25.

    Which sheds an entirely new light on "#Assad" jets and helicopters, bombing civilians daily.

    Would be the 7th helicopter Russia lost so far in Syria
    - 1 Mi-8 (TOWed)
    - 4 Mi-24 (T4)
    - 1 Mi-28N (crash)
    - 1 Mi-35

    Germany says forces in Iran trying to torpedo nuclear deal

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ir...medium=twitter


    Responding to German intelligence agency reports that Iran has been trying to acquire nuclear technology in Germany, Berlin said on Friday that certain forces in Iran may be trying to undermine its nuclear deal with the West.

    Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), said in its annual report that Iranian efforts to illegally procure technology, especially in the nuclear area, had continued at a "high level" in 2015.

    A separate report from the intelligence agency in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia this week said it had registered 141 attempts to acquire technology for proliferation purposes last year and that two-thirds of these attempts were linked to Iran.

    Asked about the reports on Friday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said Germany expected Iran to stick to a United Nations Security Council resolution which sets restrictions on arms-related transfers.

    But he also suggested that the procurement attempts may stem from forces in Iran that oppose last year's nuclear deal, under which Iran agreed to roll back its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of western economic sanctions.

    "There are forces within Iran for which the policies of the country's president and foreign minister are a thorn in the eye," Schaefer said. "They may be trying, one way or another, to undermine or torpedo the nuclear deal and the normalization of relations between us and Iran. We are watching this closely."

    Schaefer said Germany had a "great deal of faith" in President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and had the impression that Tehran was doing its best to stick to the deal, which ended a 12-year standoff with the West over the nuclear program.

    Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose power far outweighs that of Iran's elected officials in parliament or the presidency, gave decisive support to the nuclear deal.

    But hardline allies of Khamenei, including the elite Revolutionary Guards, are wary of losing their grip in power by opening up to the West and have repeatedly criticized pragmatist President Rouhani's foreign policy.

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in a speech to parliament on Thursday, said ballistic missile launches carried out by Iran earlier this year were inconsistent with the UN resolution, which calls on Iran to refrain from work on missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons for up to eight years.

    The NRW intelligence report said procurement efforts in 2015 had been focused on so-called "dual-use" technologies that can be used in both civil and military sectors. While nuclear-related procurement attempts fell slightly, those related to Iran's missile program rose.

    The report said documents had been falsified to suggest technologies were destined for the oil, gas and steel industries. In an apparent attempt to cover its tracks, Iran was seeking to acquire technologies via third countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and China, the report said.

    This is a tweet from the Rhodes WH and he apparently has no understanding of the violation of the National Defense Act of 2016 which would cut DoD funding......


    US is "very open" to cooperating with #Russia to fight Nusra & #ISIS, and to reinforce cessation of hostilities in #Syria says @rhodes44


    BUT WAIT all he gets paid for is "spin".....

    This US journalist was tracked and targeted in 2012 by senior Assad military officers.......due to her reporting on the killings in Homs.....her family is now suing Syria......

    Maher Assad gave Fares a black luxury vehicle as a reward for the killing of Colvin and Ochlik.
