Nigerian troops rescue girls; so far, none from Chibok, says military

(CNN)[Breaking news update, posted at 5:22 p.m. ET]

None of the girls rescued from raided Boko Haram camps in Nigeria has been identified thus far as among the missing Chibok girls, a high-ranking Nigerian army official said. The official did not rule out that captives from other Boko Haram camps that were raided might be girls abducted in April 2014 from a school in Chibok. The official said he would have the final word by day's end on Wednesday.

Nigerian troops rescued 200 girls and 93 women Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest, the Nigerian Armed Forces announced on its official Twitter account.

The armed forces could not immediately confirm if any of the rescued girls were among the 200 schoolgirls the militant group Boko Haram kidnapped in April 2014 from the village of Chibok.

Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said the rescued girls and women are still being screened and none has spoken to their families yet.

The 2014 mass abduction from Chibok led to an international social media movement, #BringBackOurGirls, to rescue them. Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group, has been kidnapping females for years and has hundreds in their custody.

Nigerian troops also captured and destroyed three terrorist camps in the Sambisa Forest, the armed forces said. Chibok and the Sambisa Forest are both in the northeastern part of the country. Olukolade said troops are still combing the forest.

In recent weeks, Nigerian troops and vigilantes moved into the Sambisa Forest, a known hideout for Boko Haram.

Last Wednesday the troops had to retreat because of explosive devices Boko Haram planted in the forest, according to military sources and a vigilante who was with the troops.

On Monday, troops re-entered the forest and on Tuesday afternoon they raided two Boko Haram camps and rescued scores of girls and women.

Information about the fate of the kidnapped schoolgirls has been spotty and inconsistent, with some school officials giving conflicting figures for the number of girls who were abducted or escaped their captors.

"We have no idea where the Chibok girls are or were," CNN correspondent Christian Purefoy said Tuesday.

The name Boko Haram translates to "Western education is sin" in the local Hausa language. The group has said its aim is to impose a stricter enforcement of Sharia law across Nigeria, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south.

CNN's Jennifer Z. Deaton contributed to this report. Journalist Aminu Abubakar reported from Hotoro, Kano, Nigeria and CNN's Ralph Ellis wrote from Atlanta.

Tobruk, 26 April 2015:

The Libyan government has offered its deepest condolences to the people of Ethiopia for the brutal killing of 30 Ethiopians at the hands of the Islamic State (IS) on Libyan soil.

“The Libyan government realises that there are vulnerable people within its borders that need to be protected from the threat of terrorism, which is growing all over the world,” said Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs undersecretary Mohamed Attiya Suleiman Al-Obeidi.

Obeidi went on to say that the government was well aware that Libya’s stability and security is key to the continued development of other African countries in the region.

Furthermore, Libya and its neighbors had to work together to solve the problem of illegal migration, which has led to the senseless deaths of thousands of Africans in the Mediterranean.

Kidnapped TV crew reported executed by IS

Kidnapped TV crew reported executed by IS

By Libya Herald reporters.

Beida/Benghazi, 27 April 2015:

The five-member Cyrenaica TV crew kidnapped near Ajdabiya nearly nine months ago are reported to have been beheaded by the Islamic State (IS).

Headless bodies are reported to have been found following the arrest at the Libya-Egyptian border crossing at Musaid of an Egyptian said to be a member of IS. According to a lawyer connected to the TV station, the man confessed to involvement in the killing of the five who were seized at a fake checkpoint near Ajdabiya on 5 August. They were on their way back to the town, travelling on the desert road, after filming the inauguration of the House of Representatives in Tobruk.

Details of the killings are sketchy. According to a report, the bodies were found near Beida this morning following the confession. But it is also reported that DNA tests carried out in Egypt from samples from one of the bodies have already shown him to be a member of the crew, the Egyptian cameraman.

Another report has the bodies found near Derna. A further one says that two members of IS were captured and confessed to the killings.

However, a staff member with Cyrenaica TV told the Libya Herald today that the station believed the reports to be true. Deeply distressed and angry, he said he could not talk any more.

There has been no statement from IS.

At the time of their abduction, it was said that the five had been taken by Ansar Al-Sharia, not IS. If so, and they have now been murdered by IS, it would confirm reports of a growing interaction between the two.

Cyrenaica TV is owned by Ibrahim Jadhran.

The five are named are:

Abdussalam Al-Kahala
Younis Al-Gamoudi
Khaled Al-Hamil
Younis Al-Sal
Mohamed Galal (Egyptian)

NEW DELHI: The enigmatic chief of Islamic State jihadist group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead, Radio Iran has reported on Monday.

Earlier, a Guardian report quoting sources with inside knowledge of the group reported that al-Baghdadi was severely injured in a US-led coalition air strike in March.

According to that report, al-Baghdadi was inujred at al-Baaj district of Nineveh, close to the Syrian border. It also said he was making a slow recovery and was out of his day-to-day control of the jihadist group.

Al-Baghdadi, believed to be in his 40s, had a $10 million US bounty on his head. Since taking the reins of the Islamic State in 2010, he had transformed it from a local branch of al-Qaida into an independent transnational military force, positioning himself as perhaps the pre-eminent figure in the global jihadist community. ISIS suffered a series of major setbacks in the recent months with many of its top commanders being killed or severely injured.

Recently, a top Iraqi military commander Lieutenant General Abdul Amir al Shammari told Sky News that his forces had killed "more than 250 terrorists in the past few days".

He said this had been achieved with assistance from the Iraqi air force, military helicopters and coalition air strikes. "The coalition strikes provided cover for our troops to push forward."

Under the leadership of al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State, which it called itself as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) earlier, had gained ground across northern and western Iraq in a lightning advance in June and July last year, causing several of Iraq's army and police divisions to fall into disarray.

It had carried out thousands of public executions using brutal methods and implemented strict Islamic law in areas they captured, which sent shockwave across the global community.

San  Diego Ethiopians Remembered  ISIS Victims in Ethiopian Way, i.e. both Christians  and Muslims  together  .

One of the biggest mistake ISIS is making not knowing what they are looking for. If you are asking yourself  ISIS is killing only Christians  they are also killing Muslims, if you are asking  they killing  because they are killing people with no money and no power. They killing women, kids, Muslim and christian 
SAN DIEGO — Hundreds from San Diego’s Ethiopian community gathered in Mission Beach Sunday for a vigil to honor more than two dozen Ethiopian Christians recently killed by ISIS in Libya.
“I started shaking — I was sad, I was broken. How can you cut someone’s head off? It’s not human — you slaughtered someone,” said Milka Badebo, a participant.
Many at the vigil have loved ones in Ethiopia and are worried more will become targets because of their faith, as ISIS continues to document dramatic mass killings of Christians.
“We are Christian. We don’t believe in killing — we don’t believe in revenge. But justice has to be served,” said Teferi Teshome, a vigil organizer.
Both Christians and Muslims joined together to honor victims — and spread awareness of a growing terror threat in their home country.

Two millionaire people traffickers have been heard mocking the migrant boat disasters that have resulted in thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean, it has been reported.

One of them, an Eritrean called Mered Medhanie, also known as The General, was heard laughing on a police wiretap about overloading migrant ships, a problem that causes them to capsize.

Medhanie, 34, who is based in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, is said to have boasted: 'They say I put too many aboard, but they're the ones who want to leave in a hurry.'

A second trafficker, Ermias Ghermay, who is thought to have made £72million with Medhanie from smuggling in the last two years, also showed callous disregard for the plight of his 'customers'. 

He was heard declaring last summer: 'They organised another trip a few days ago. I don't know what happened – they probably died.' 

Ghermay, who also lives in Tripoli, was already wanted on an arrest warrant in connection with an October 2013 capsizing off Lampedusa that left 366 dead. 

Reports of the conversations come just days after at least 900 people were feared to have drowned in one of the worst maritime disasters since the end of World War Two.
