Reisadvies Egypte
Alle reizen naar bepaalde gebieden worden ontraden
Laatst gewijzigd op: 21-06-2013 | Nog steeds geldig op: 01-07-2013
In het reisadvies Egypte zijn de rubrieken 'Actualiteiten' en 'Onveilige gebieden' gewijzigd.
Actualiteiten
Reizigers worden geadviseerd in het gehele land extra waakzaamheid te betrachten en de aanwijzingen van de politie strikt op te volgen.
In toenemende mate wordt Egypte geplaagd door sociale onrust en politieke spanningen (stakingen, blokkades, inflatie, beschikbaarheid van goederen en dergelijke) die gepaard gaan met grote demonstraties en gewelddadigheden. Dagelijks vinden spontaan demonstraties in Cairo en/of overige gebieden in Egypte plaats. Met name rond de periode 28 juni - 1 juli 2013 zijn door diverse partijen grootschalige demonstraties in het hele land aangekondigd. Gewelddadige confrontaties worden daarbij niet uitgesloten. Op deze dagen, maar ook in de directe nasleep ervan, kan in Caïro extreme verkeershinder ontstaan, waardoor het zeer moeilijk kan zijn een plaats van bestemming te bereiken. Geadviseerd wordt (de ruime nabijheid van) demonstraties en samenscholingen absoluut te mijden en deze niet te fotograferen of te filmen, de berichtgeving in de media te volgen en zich te informeren over de actuele binnenlandse en buitenlandse ontwikkelingen (zie rubriek ‘Onveilige gebieden’)........

Onveilige gebieden
In toenemende mate wordt Egypte geplaagd door sociale onrust en politieke spanningen (stakingen, blokkades, inflatie, beschikbaarheid van goederen en dergelijke) die gepaard gaan met grote demonstraties en gewelddadigheden. Reizigers worden geadviseerd in het gehele land extra waakzaamheid te betrachten en de aanwijzingen van de politie strikt op te volgen. Tevens wordt geadviseerd (de ruime nabijheid van) demonstraties en samenscholingen absoluut te mijden en deze niet te fotograferen of te filmen, de berichtgeving in de media te volgen en zich te informeren over de actuele binnenlandse en buitenlandse ontwikkelingen.
Ook na de grootschalige demonstraties van 30 juni (de dag waarop President Morsi één jaar in functie was) zijn door diverse partijen demonstraties in het hele land aangekondigd. Het verleden heeft geleerd dat in dergelijke gevallen sprake kan zijn van geweld waarbij demonstranten kunnen overgaan tot gewelddadigheden onderling, gericht tegen de veiligheidstroepen en tegen buitenlanders. Ook kunnen wegen zonder vooraankondiging worden afgesloten, waardoor extreme verkeershinder kan ontstaan.
De veiligheidstroepen kunnen soms hard optreden. Politie is nog niet geheel operationeel en daardoor kunnen lokaal onvoorspelbare en onveilige situaties optreden. Op en rond het Tahrirplein in Caïro (waaronder de Qasr el Ainistraat) vinden regelmatig demonstraties plaats. Bij demonstraties is gebruik van traangas van een agressieve soort met ernstige bijwerkingen mogelijk, die ook onder de grond, in metrostations, kan doordringen.....
Nederlander midden in grote schietpartij in KeniaDe Nederlandse ambassade in Kenia heeft Nederlanders in het Afrikaanse land met sms-berichten gewaarschuwd niet naar winkelcentra te gaan. Dit in verband met mogelijke andere aanslagen, nadat onbekenden zaterdag het vuur hadden geopend in het exclusieve winkelcentrum Westgate in Nairobi. Volgens het Keniaanse Rode Kruis zijn zeker 15 mensen gedood. Een medewerker van de Nederlandse ambassade overleefde de schietpartij.
Arabische media (radio) zeggen dat een 38-jarige verdachte van deze aanslag de Nederlandse nationaliteit heeft. De naam die genoemd is in ieder geval geen oerhollandse voornaam.

In de Oost-Oekraïense stad Donetsk zijn donderdagmiddag drie agenten, waarschijnlijk van de verkeerspolitie, doodgeschoten. Dat meldt AFP.
Donetsk is nog altijd het toneel van geweldsuitbarstingen. Dinsdag waren er hevige gevechten rond de stad.
De Oekraïense president Petro Porosjenko besloot maandagavond een eenzijdig staakt-het-vuren in het oosten van zijn land, dat hij tien dagen daarvoor had afgekondigd, niet te verlengen.
Hij kondigde een nieuwe grote operatie van het leger tegen de separatistische rebellen aan.
Gesprekken tussen Rusland, Oekraïne, Duitsland en Frankrijk lijken volgens de ministers van Buitenlandse Zaken van die landen echter voorzichtig de weg te hebben geopend voor een nieuwe wapenstilstand.
Komend weekeinde moeten onderhandelingen op gang komen met de separatisten over een nieuw bestand.
EUROPESE EENHEDEN HOUDEN ANTI-TERREUROEFENING OP CAMPUS VESTA
Elite-agenten bevrijden 300 mensen
200 studenten die gegijzeld worden in een universiteitsgebouw, nog eens 100 anderen die vastgehouden worden in een nabijgelegen treinstation en terroristen die dreigen met een chemische aanslag. Dat was het scenario voor een gigantische anti-terreuroefening met liefst 750 experten en figuranten op Campus Vesta.
In het scenario, waar vier maanden aan werd gewerkt, werden in 'University Vesta' 200 studenten gegijzeld en in een nabijgelegen treinstation nog eens 100 mensen. De terreurorganisatie 'Black Thursday' dreigt bovendien met chemische aanslagen als ze geen vrije doorgang krijgen naar de luchthaven in Zaventem.
De 350 experten, onder wie 150 agenten van speciale interventie-eenheden uit België, Oostenrijk, Frankrijk, Nederland, Duitsland en Luxemburg moesten de gijzelaars bevrijden en decontamineren. "Het is de grootste oefening die ooit op Campus Vesta werd gehouden. Ook in België hebben we niet meteen weet van zo'n actie", vertelt Koen Milis, directeur van Campus Vesta.
Minister van Binnenlandse Zaken Jan Jambon (N-VA) en de eurocommissarissen Christos Stylianidis en Dimitris Avramopoulos volgden de oefening. Ze haalden het belang aan van nauwe samenwerking tussen Europese landen bij crisissen.
De figuranten kwamen voornamelijk uit de opleiding Integrale Veiligheid van scholen uit onder meer Antwerpen, Mechelen en Turnhout. "We hebben lang moeten wachten voor er enige actie was. Maar toen we naar buiten werden begeleid door de speciale eenheden, werd het toch heel indrukwekkend. Voor ons is het interessant omdat we met onze opleiding bij de politie, brandweer of security terecht kunnen komen", vertellen Yoni Van der Planken en Giovanni Segers uit het Provinciaal Instituut Sint-Godelieve, terwijl ze geboeid op het gras liggen.
Kaat Nietvelt van het Heilig Graf uit Turnhout had net een decontaminatie achter de rug waarbij ze onder de douche moest. "Dit was een unieke belevenis. Nu weet ik meteen hoe men decontamineert. Gelukkig was het water warm en kregen we nieuwe kledij."

De Franse politie heeft zaterdag een moslim van Burundese komaf doodgeschoten.
De man liep met een mes zwaaiend een politiebureau binnen in Joué-lès-Tours, 250 kilometer ten zuiden van Parijs, en riep: ''Allahoe akbar'' (God is groot in het Arabisch).
Hij verwondde een aantal agenten met zijn mes. Een agent trok daarop zijn dienstwapen en schoot de in 1994 geboren man dood.
Volgens het OM was er kennelijk sprake van noodweer. Justitie onderzoekt of bij de aanval van de moslim sprake was van een terroristisch misdrijf. Een bron die daarbij betrokken is stelt dat het optreden van de man het patroon van de aanvallen van Islamitische Staat (IS) heeft, aldus de krant Le Parisien.
De Franse geheime diensten stellen dat er een versterkte terreurdreiging van kracht is door de Franse steun aan de strijd tegen IS in Irak en Syrië. Vrijdag nog dook er een video op op YouTube met de oproep ''Frankrijk te laten ontploffen'', aldus de krant Le Figaro zaterdag,

Op vijf verschillende plekken in de Franse stad Dijon is een automobilist doelbewust ingereden op voetgangers. Daarbij zijn elf gewonden gevallen onder wie een kind van 13. Twee gewonden zijn er slecht aan toe, maar niemand zou in levensgevaar zijn.
Franse media melden op basis van een anonieme bron dat de dader een verwarde man is die in een psychiatrisch ziekenhuis is behandeld. De man zou volgens diezelfde bron "Allah is groot" hebben geroepen toen hij inreed op de voetgangers. Ook wordt gezegd dat hij zijn actie heeft gepleegd uit naam van 'de kinderen van Palestina'.
De man is aangehouden, maar de Franse autoriteiten laten zich niet uit over de mogelijke motieven van de dader. Premier Valls heeft zijn medeleven betuigd met de slachtoffers.

Op de kerstmarkt in de Franse stad Nantes is maandagavond een automobilist op een groep mensen ingereden. Zes mensen raakten gewond. De chauffeur probeerde zichzelf vervolgens om te brengen.
Dat meldt de Franse nieuwssite RTL.fr
De automobilist probeerde zichzelf na de aanrijding met messteken om het leven te brengen. Hij is deels bewusteloos en werd door hulpdiensten gereanimeerd.
Volgens ooggetuigen en een agent heeft de man 'Allahoe akbar' (God is groot in het Arabisch) geroepen, aldus de krant Le Nouvel Observateur. Hij is in een ziekenhuis opgenomen.
De automobilist reed volgens omstanders in een wit busje. Het is niet duidelijk met welke motieven de dader de aanslag pleegde.

Terrorisme op quartorze juillet?
De Franse president Hollande heeft gezegd dat er deze week meerdere terreuraanslagen in Frankrijk zijn verijdeld. Morgen komt minister Cazeneuve van Binnenlandse Zaken met meer details, zei Hollande tijdens een bezoek van de Mexicaanse president Nieto aan Frankrijk.
Het is niet duidelijk of Hollande doelde op de explosies van gisteren in de buurt van Marseille bij een petrochemische fabriek. In verband met die ontploffingen zijn vier mensen opgepakt, melden betrokkenen bij het onderzoek.
Eerder vandaag werd bekend dat de politie daar voorwerpen heeft gevonden die lijken op ontstekingsmechanismen. De politie ging er gisteren al van uit dat de explosies geen ongelukken waren.
Bij een explosie in de Turkse stad Suruç, zo'n tien kilometer van de grens met Syrië, zijn maandag minimaal 27 mensen omgekomen. Dat melden lokale autoriteiten. Zo'n honderd mensen zouden bij de klap gewond zijn geraakt. De Turkse minister van Binnenlandse Zaken noemt het incident een 'terroristische aanslag'. Turkse autoriteiten melden volgens persbureau AFP dat terreurorganisatie Islamitische Staat (IS) verantwoordelijk is voor de daad.
Tientallen doden bij aanslag in Turkse grensstad

Erdogan 'veroordeelt en vervloekt' daders aanslag Suruç
De Turkse president Erdogan heeft de aanslag in de Turkse plaats Suruç, aan de grens met Syrië, een terreurdaad genoemd. Hij "veroordeelt en vervloekt" de daders, zei hij. Volgens Erdogan moet terreur in alle gevallen worden vervloekt. "Terreur heeft geen religie, ras, nationaliteit en land." Erdogan sprak vanuit het Turkse deel van Cyprus waar hij op bezoek is.

De explosie gebeurde vlak bij het grootste treinstation van de stad. Daar zou net een pro-Koerdische vredesmars beginnen.
Mogelijk is er nog een tweede explosie geweest.

De FBI ziet de schietpartij in San Bernardino als een daad van terreur. In het huis van de schutters Malik en Farook zijn zware wapens en explosieven gevonden en de FBI sluit niet uit dat de daders plannen hadden voor het plegen van nog een aanslag.
Het onderzoek van de FBI richt zich onder meer op het motief van de schutters, zei het FBI-hoofd van Los Angeles tijdens een persconferentie. De FBI heeft kennisgenomen van het Facebookbericht waarin een van de daders trouw zwoer aan IS en onderzoekt wat daarvan waar is. De federale politie heeft geen aanwijzingen dat de twee daders bij een terreurcel hoorden.
Sporen wissen
In een prullenbak in de buurt van het huis hebben onderzoekers twee kapotgeslagen telefoons gevonden. "Ze hebben geprobeerd om hun digitale sporen te wissen", zei de FBI-functionaris.
Getracht wordt om de gegevens alsnog van de vernietigde telefoons te halen.

Bij een bomaanslag op een opleidingscentrum van de politie in Zliten, een Libische stad aan de Middellandse Zee, zijn tientallen mensen om het leven gekomen.
Persbureau Reuters stelt op basis van verklaringen van de burgemeester van Zliten dat zeker veertig mensen zijn omgekomen. AFP spreekt van vijftig doden.
De bom zou zijn verstopt in een vrachtwagen. Volgens Libische media waren honderden rekruten bezig met hun ochtendoefening toen de aanslag werd gepleegd. Het opleidingscentrum was volgens BBC een legerbasis tijdens het bewind van dictator Muammar Kaddafi.

AJE News @AJENews#Jakartablasts: A Dutch national working for the UN is among the seven dead
We are deeply saddened by the senseless acts that have taken place in Jakarta today; our hearts are with the people of Indonesia.
Amidst reports of attacks targeting police posts throughout central Jakarta, initial reports are that an explosion took place close to our store in the Skyline building near one of these police posts. One customer sustained injuries and was treated on the scene; our partners (employees) are all confirmed to be safe. This store and all other Starbucks stores in Jakarta will remain closed, out of an abundance of caution, until further notice.
We are monitoring this situation closely, and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
For more information on this news release, contact us.

Update 09:30 Jakarta explosions
News article | January 15, 2016
09.30 hr: The situation in Jakarta has further stabilized. Please remain vigilant in crowded places throughout Indonesia and follow the instructions from local authorities. You are advised to keep track of the travel advice, the website of the Netherlands Embassy in Jakarta and the media.
Foreign minister Bert Koenders has strongly condemned the attacks in the Indonesian capital Jakarta. ‘Once again terror has raised its ugly head, and once again innocent civilians are its victims,’ said the minister. ‘My thoughts are with them and their loved ones.’
Mr Koenders has offered his condolences to his Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi. ‘I’ve also offered Dutch help if Indonesia should need it,’ he said.
Immediately after the attacks the Dutch embassy warned Dutch people in the area that they should stay indoors. ‘People received text messages urging them to follow the local authorities’ safety instructions and stay in contact with the embassy,’ said Mr Koenders. ‘The embassy will continue to keep them informed over the next several hours.’ People who have questions can use the foreign ministry’s consular services number: +31 247 247 247.
The embassy is also staying in close touch with the local authorities to find out about possible Dutch victims. So far it has learned that one Dutch man was seriously injured in an attack.
The attacks show once more that terrorism has spread its tentacles all around the world, the minister said. ‘Anyone can be a victim of terrorism. Whether you’re shopping in the centre of Paris, sitting in an office in New York or on holiday in Jakarta. This is the fear that terrorists seek to plant in our hearts.’
Yet we must not let fear prevail, Mr Koenders insisted. ‘We must close ranks, join forces internationally and set to work. We must be just as resolute as the terrorists are. We’ve already taken many steps along these lines, for example last week at a major counterterrorism conference in The Hague.’
The dead in Jakarta include not only civilians but also police officers. ‘Professionals like these go to work every day in order to make the world a safer place,’ said the minister. ‘They are prepared to risk their lives for this important work. I admire them tremendously, and am grateful for all their efforts – police, army, ambulance staff – around the world.’
Police in the world's most populous Muslim country have blamed the carnage on a network of Islamic State fighters from Southeast Asia forged in the radical jihadist group's war in Syria and Iraq.
"An alert has been imposed throughout Indonesia," said national police spokesman Anton Charliyan.
"National police are on their highest alert, especially in areas considered targets of terror, like police stations, government offices, embassies, with army backup."
Police say Indonesian Bahrun Naim working for ISIL funded deadly attack that killed two civilians and five attackers.

In een groot hotel in Ouagadougou, de hoofdstad van Burkina Faso, is geschoten. Ook zijn er explosies gehoord. In het hotel logeren veel buitenlanders en VN'ers.
Getuigen zagen drie gewapende mannen uit Hotel Splendid rennen, waarna een vuurgevecht uitbrak met de politie. Voor het hotel stonden auto's in brand.
Waarschijnlijk is de aanslag het werk van moslimterroristen, die in buurland Mali ook vaak hotels aanvallen.

Three suicide bombs have targeted checkpoints in the southern Yemeni city of Aden, killing at least 26 people, residents and eyewitnesses said.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group claimed responsibility for Friday's attacks, which coincided with the first anniversary of the start of civil war in Yemen.
Ik hoor dat heel vaak de laatste tijd: "er wordt nooit aan ... (vul hier het land in) gedacht wanneer er aanslagen zijn maar wel aan ... (vul hier het land in)"
Ik vind dat enigszins opmerkelijk. Laat ik Iraq even als voorbeeld geven. Daar zijn zoveel aanslagen dat als de wereld daar telkens bij stil zou moeten staan we dagelijks wel even een moment stilte kunnen houden. In Turkije kunnen Koerden en de x aantal andere stromingen daar, niet met elkaar overweg en bombarderen elkaar wederzijds.
Het is daar normaal dat er een tiental (of honderden) verschillende religies/leefstijlen (noem het zoals je wilt) naast elkaar leven die voor geen enkele meter met elkaar op willen schieten en elkaar onderling (of de een de ander) alleen maar af willen schieten.
Hier is dat iets abnormaals en dus niet dagelijks aan de orde. Daarnaast zijn er hier geen mega tegenstellingen zoals dat daar wel aan de orde is. Voor een moderne samenleving wanneer mensen met verschillende overtuigingen (enigszins) normaal naast elkaar kunnen leven. Ik vind het dan niet apart dat mensen er dan opeens heel anders mee omgaan wanneer ze opeens wel opgeschrikt worden met dat soort barbaarse oosterse manieren van conflictoplossing.
A suicide bomber has detonated his explosives belt at a football stadium south of the Iraqi capital, killing at least 29 people and injuring 60 others, the security head in Babel province has said.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group that controls swathes of territory in Iraq's north and west was behind the attack, according to Amaq news agency, which is affiliated with the group.
Je hebt helemaal gelijk. 29 dode barbaren en 60 gewonde barbaren die lekker na een week hard werken in het weekend (in midden oosten zijn vrijdag en zaterdag weekend) naar het voetbalstadion gaan en van de wereld worden geblazen door ISIS. Laten we maar niet hebben over Boko Haram (aan IS gelieerd). Het aantal dode afrikanen doet er niet toe. Hoe is het eigenlijk met de facebookcampagne #bringbackourgirls? Al die meisjes zijn nog steeds vermist omdat een Westerse facebookcampagne niet echt helpt tegen terreur. Blijf vooral posten in huiskamer over het vluchtelingenprobleem. Door Boko Haram vluchten inderdaad veel mensen richting Libie om de oversteek naar veilige EU te maken.kleine kranteartikeltjes, een klein berichtje en over naar de orde van de Europese dag. Alleen even wat aandacht voor Burkina Faso want daar was een Nederlander in het hotel dat werd aangevallen maar als je nu op straat gaat vragen wat er in Ouagadougou gebeurde, 9 van de 10 mensen kijken je aan alsof je gek bent.
Van Mali tot aan Somalie is er van alles aan de hand. Wie weet dat hier?
Als je daarover moet gaan bijhouden kun je net zo goed een nieuw forum inrichten. Of je veel bezoekers krijgt is een tweede. Daar gaat het al jaren mis, moeten we daar elke keer bij stilstaan? Bij ons begint het nu pas, het wordt vanzelf gewoon als het maar vaak genoeg gebeurt.
Zo is dat vanuit de leunstoel in de polder
Terreuraanslagen wennen nooit.
...het wordt vanzelf gewoon als het maar vaak genoeg gebeurt.
Ik denk dat bijv. Iraqi's, Joden, Nigerianen het niet met je eens zijn.
Moet ik er daadwerkelijk bij gaan vermelden dat het sarcasme was?
Bovendien zei ik: "Bij ons begint het nu pas, het wordt vanzelf gewoon als het maar vaak genoeg gebeurt."
Wat dus betrekking heeft op terreuraanslagen in het Westen/EU
Jij doet anders ook niets anders, alleen zit jij midden in de woestijn.
IVK-er is toch een studie in veiligheidskunde? HBO onderwijs?
Als terreur vanzelf wel went als het vaak genoeg gebeurt begrijp ik niet waarom men veel aandacht aan de aanslagen in Parijs en Brussel schenkt. Als ik naar de afgelopen 16 jaar (2000 - 2016) in West Europa kijk en naar de periode 1978 - 1994 in West Europa kan ik maar een conclusie trekken. Het aantal terreuraanslagen en het aantal dodelijke slachtoffers door terreur in West-Europa is te verwaarlozen t.o.v. de periode 1978-1994 in West Europa. Met andere woorden Europa zou terreur al normaal moeten vinden omdat het al vaak genoeg gebeurt is. Europa gaat het nooit normaal vinden. In het Midden Oosten gaan ze het ook nooit normaal vinden.
Dus deze vorm van terrorisme, op deze manier, met deze middelen en door deze personen is een compleet nieuw pakketje voor ons.
Zullen we weer terug gaan naar de realiteit en proberen niet continu alles te veranderen wat er in de Westerse wereld wel/niet gedaan wordt om niet-westerse tegemoet te komen?
The bombing killed 41 people and wounded 105, security and health officials said.
Waarom wordt er dan geen aandacht meer aan besteed wanneer er iets in het middenoosten gebeurd?Maar terreur in Afrika is nieuwer dan in Europa, we hadden dat al met Baader-Meinhof, RAF, Rode Brigades, ETA, IRA en andere Noord-ierse splintergroepen. Onze historie van terreur is al heel oud. En geen terreurorganisatie heeft ooit gewonnen.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—At least 72 people—including 17 children—were killed and hundreds more injured in an apparent suicide bombing at a Pakistani park that an Islamic militant group said was aimed at Christians celebrating Easter.
het is een ook psychologisch principe dat we ellende en verdriet etc wat dichter bij komt door bijv nabijheid of andere gelijkenissen (dezelfde beroepsgroep, dezelfde huidskleur etc), meer aantrekken dan wat verder van ons afligt
Ik heb er nooit last van gehad. Het leed van een neger, moslim, aziaat, jood, dichtbij of aan andere kant van wereld staat voor mij gelijk aan het leed van mijn blanke beroepsgenoten met de Nederlandse nationaliteit.
Ik maak een groot verschil tussen mensenleed en dierenleed.
In de 2e kamer in Nederland hebben we een aantal zetels voor een politieke partij die het dierenleed tot prioriteit maken. Het mensenleed in de wereld is nog niet eens opgelost.

KARACHI (Staff Report) – A hand grenade exploded inside courtroom in Karachi’s Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) after a judge asked a police constable if he knew how grenades worked. The constable, instead of explaining his expertise in weapons and grenade handling to the judge, opted to demonstrate practically by promptly pulling out the pin from the grenade.

A suicide bomber was killed and two other people wounded in a blast near the US consulate in Saudi Arabia's second city of Jeddah early on Monday, state TV said, the first bombing in years to attempt to target foreigners in the kingdom.
Kuwaiti police have arrested several suspects belonging to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group believed to be planning attacks across the country, the interior ministry has said.
Anger grows as Baghdad residents accuse Iraqi government of failing to protect them after ISIL attack kills over 200.
US Secretary of State John Kerry has offered Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina help to investigate those behind the killing of 20 people at a Dhaka restaurant, as police examine how the young, affluent and educated attackers were radicalised.

Egypt's Grand Mufti condemned the two heinous blasts in Medina
In a recently issued press release, Egypt's Grand Mufti, Dr.Shawi Allam has vehemently denounced the wicked suicide blasts occurred just before the Iftar time outside the Prophet's Mosque in Medina and near Qatif mosque, killing four security guards and leaving others severely injured.
Dr.Shawki confirmed that those thugs have violated the sanctity of the Prophet's Mosque, blessed month of Ramadan and human blood to spoil the Muslims' joy anticipating Eid al-Fitr.
The Grand Mufti extended his sincere condolences to the entire people of Saudi Arabia and supplicated to God to shower the victims with His mercy and grant them the ranks of martyrs.
Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has vowed that his government will "strike with an iron fist", a day after a series of bombings hit the country.

Maandag waren er binnen 24 uur drie zelfmoordaanslagen in Saudi-Arabië. De zwaarste was in de voor moslims heilige stad Medina. Daar kwamen behalve de terrorist zelf vier beveiligers van de Moskee van de Profeet om het leven. De andere twee doelwitten waren de Amerikaanse ambassade in Jeddah en een sjiitische moskee in Qatif.

August 25, 2016
BRUSSELS/NEW YORK, AUGUST 25, 2016 — On August 17, while conducting search and rescue operations off the Libyan coast, the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières(MSF) rescue vessel the Bourbon Argos was approached and attacked by a group of armed men onboard an unidentified speedboat, MSF said today, strongly condemning the attack.
The Bourbon Argos is one of three ships with MSF teams in the central Mediterranean whose sole mission is search and rescue for people fleeing armed conflict, disasters and extreme poverty, who lack safe and legal channels to flee.
The attack occurred 24 nautical miles north of the Libyan coast. Armed men onboard the speedboat fired shots toward the Bourbon Argos from a distance of 400 to 500 meters and then boarded the vessel. There were no people rescued onboard that day and neither the crew members nor the MSF staff were harmed.
“Although we don’t know the identity of the attackers or their motivation, our initial assessment of the facts shows that they were professional and well-trained,” said Stefano Argenziano, MSF operations coordinator. “This was a serious and worrying attack, with shooting toward our boat which could have put our staff in acute physical danger.”
The attacking boat was first spotted at 9:15 a.m. Given the lack of clear identification and communication or any radio answer from the speedboat while approaching the Bourbon Argos, the team took the precautionary measure to move to the designated safe area inside the vessel.
The armed men boarded the Bourbon Argos and moved around, leaving after approximately 50 minutes, without stealing or removing anything. The damage to the ship was minimal, with signs of several bullets shot. Thanks to the sound security procedures enacted, all team members were safe as they remained in the protected area all the time.
Search and rescue activities conducted from Italy and Malta by MSF in the central Mediterranean will continue onboard the Dignity I and another rescue vessel, the Aquarius, which is operated in partnership with the organization SOS Méditerranée. MSF and its partners will continue providing lifesaving emergency care and medical assistance to those rescued.
“With the number of deaths continuing to dramatically increase and the deteriorating situation in Libya, we continue to consider the European focus on deterrence and security dangerously myopic and completely inadequate to respond to this crisis,” said Argenziano.
MSF continues to insist on the need for safe and legal alternatives for those crossing the central Mediterranean as the only way to stop deaths at sea.
MSF teams onboard the Dignity I, Bourbon Argos and Aquarius (in partnership with SOS Méditerranée) have rescued 10,925 people during 84 different rescue operations this year.
Security forces claim to have killed three people, including prime suspect Bangladeshi-Canadian citizen Tamim Chowdhury.

De antiterreureenheid arresteerde de twee 16-jarigen bij een gebedshuis in de voorstad Bankstown. Ze hadden grote bajonet-achtige messen bij zich, die ze eerder die dag hadden gekocht. Ook hadden ze papieren bij zich met religieuze teksten waarin ze hun steun aan IS betuigden.
De twee werden al in de gaten gehouden. Een van de jongens is waarschijnlijk de zoon van een veroordeelde terrorist.

And though Qatar wasn’t the target, it could lose business if such attacks continue, the analyst added.

Als die ploft wordt het wel een heel echte plof, die lui die dat proberen hebben kennelijk geen enkele notie van wat er met hen zal gebeuren.
De kans is uiterst klein dat een LNG-tanker zal exploderen.
De hulpdiensten hier beschouwen het niet als een waterhulpverlenings incident. We beschouwen het wel als een incident dat potentieel zeer schadelijk kan zijn voor Qatar. Het is een zaak voor de Qatar Emiri Naval Forces om het probleem op te lossen.
De kans is inderdaad uiterst klein,het ligt er maar net aan wat er voor wapens worden gebruikt.
Als je de begeleiding te Bontang,Borneo,ook een grote LNG leverancier en bijv.de begeleiding in het Uraga Chanel ,Japan de afnemer meemaakt dan is het vreemd dat men in die streken niet eerder is overgegaan op enige vorm van begeleiding.
Waar gaan de eventuele geldstromen naartoe en wie verschaft de wapens. Tot op heden nog maar zeer lichte wapens en kleinere bootjes wanneer krijgt men de beschikking over zwaarder geschut ?
Piraterij is iets anders dan terrorisme. De Somalische piraten hebben geen terroristische motieven en als het ze lukt om losgeld binnen te harken gebruiken ze het niet om terreurclubs te financieren.
De strijd tegen Al-shabab zorgt er soms wel voor dat de piraten wat extra speelruimte hebben omdat de terreur-/criminaliteitsbestrijders maar 1 paar handen hebben.
Het is ook een bekend gegeven dat Al-Shabab geen vriend is van de piraten. Ze hebben diverse keren pogingen ondernemen de piraten in te lijven omdat ze het binnengeharkte geld graag willen hebben. De piraten weigeren dat. Het antwoord van Al-Shabab kan dan maar 1 ding zijn aangezien deze club maar 1 specialiteit heeft.
De piraterij is ontstaan, heeft een aanzienlijke voedingsbodem gekregen, toen grote Russische schepen de zee voor de Somalische kusten gingen leegzuigen en de simpele kustvissers met hun schamele bootjes vrijwel niets meer konden vangen, honger en ellende alom aan de kusten. Dat Al-Shabab en de piraten geen vrienden zijn zou hier ook aan kunnen liggen de (eventuele) banden van Al-Shabab met Rusland,Rusland en de visserij waar de piraten en hun supporters de historie nog van kennen.
Overigens heeft de vervolgens ontstane piraterij en met name hun opdrachtgevers/supporters in het verre buitenland geen windeieren gelegd.
@ Oma :Als het doelgerichte terreur is tegen LNG-tankers is het veel aannemelijker dat Rusland er mee te maken heeft.

Islamitische Staat heeft de verantwoordelijkheid voor de aanval van gisteren op de universiteit Ohio State opgeëist. Dat heeft de terroristische organisatie gedaan in een verklaring via een eigen persbureau.
Een 18-jarige student van de Amerikaanse universiteit verwondde in Columbus elf mensen met een slagersmes voordat hij door de politie werd doodgeschoten. Vier mensen liggen nog in het ziekenhuis.
Voordat hij op mensen begon in te steken, reed hij met een auto op mensen in. De dader was een Somaliër die in 2014 een permanente verblijfsvergunning voor de VS kreeg. Hij heette Abdul Razak Ali Artan.
Lone wolf
Op Artans Facebook-pagina stond volgens het persbureau AP dat de VS zich niet moet bemoeien met moslimlanden. "Als je wil dat moslims stoppen met het uitvoeren van 'lone wolf'-aanvallen, dan moet je vrede sluiten met IS", zou hij hebben geschreven.

Twin suicide car bombs claimed by the Al-Qaeda aligned Shabaab insurgent group wounded nine people Monday at the entrance to Mogadishu's fortified airport and a nearby hotel, officials said.
UN mission in Iraq says the figure does not include casualties from western Anbar for May, July, August and December.
"This is, no doubt, an attempt by [ISIL] to divert attention from their losses in Mosul and, unfortunately, it is the innocent civilians who are paying the price," Jan Kubis, the special representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq, said in a statement.
In the last week alone, ISIL claimed responsibility for a string of bombings in Baghdad that killed more than 50 people .
The deadliest ISIL attack was in July when a massive suicide bombing in a bustling market area in central Baghdad killed almost 300 people, the bloodiest single attack in the capital in 13 years of war.
