Suicide bombers hit three Saudi cities:

Suicide bombers struck three cities across Saudi Arabia on Monday, in an apparently coordinated campaign of attacks as Saudis prepared to break their fast on the penultimate day of the holy month of Ramadan.

The explosions targeting U.S. diplomats, Shi'ite worshippers and a security headquarters at a mosque in the holy city of Medina follow days of mass killings claimed by the Islamic State group, in Turkey, Bangladesh and Iraq. The attacks all seem to have been timed to coincide with the approach of Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that celebrates the end of the fast.

A Saudi security official said an attacker parked a car near the U.S. consulate in Jeddah before detonating the device. The official said the government was checking the reports of blasts in Qatif and Medina.

In the only one of the three attacks that appeared to have caused many casualties, a suicide bomber detonated a bomb near the security headquarters of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, the second-holiest site in Islam.

Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television said an initial death toll from the Medina blast included three suicide bombers and two security forces officers.

A video sent to Reuters by a witness to the aftermath of the Medina bombing showed a large blaze among parked cars in the fading evening light, with a sound of sirens in the background. A picture sent to Reuters showed a burnt and bleeding man lying on a stretcher in a hospital.

Other pictures circulating on social media showed dark smoke billowing from flames near the Mosque of the Prophet, originally built in the 7th century by the Prophet Muhammad, who is buried there along with his first two successors.

In Qatif, an eastern city that is home to many members of the Shi'ite minority, at least one and possibly two explosions struck near a Shi'ite mosque.

Witnesses described body parts, apparently of a suicide bomber, in the aftermath.

A resident of the city reached by telephone said there were believed to be no casualties there apart from the attacker, as worshippers had already gone home to break their fasts. Civil defense forces were cleaning up the area and police were investigating, the resident said.

A video circulating on social media and purporting to show the aftermath of a Qatif blast showed an agitated crowd on a street, with a fire raging near a building, and a bloody body part lying on the ground. Reuters could not immediately verify the video.

Hours earlier a suicide bomber was killed and two people were wounded in a blast near the U.S. consulate in the kingdom's second city Jeddah.

The Jeddah blast was the first bombing in years to attempt to target foreigners in the kingdom. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Islamic State has carried out a series of bombing and shooting attacks in Saudi Arabia since mid-2014 that have killed scores of people, mostly members of the Shi'ite Muslim minority and security services.

Turkey enters Syria to halt Kurds: analysts

Beirut (AFP) - Turkey's decision to send troops into Syria is a last-ditch bid to prevent the realisation of its worst nightmare: the creation of a "Syrian Kurdistan", analysts say.

On Wednesday, Ankara launched operation "Euphrates Shield", dispatching tanks and special forces to fight alongside pro-Turkish Syrian rebels to capture the town of Jarabulus from the Islamic State group.

The extremist group abandoned the border town almost immediately, but experts said Ankara's operation was directed less at IS and more at preventing further advances by Syrian Kurdish forces that control large swathes of the Syria-Turkey border.

Turkey considers the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) a branch of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which it deems a "terrorist" organisation, and it has long warned against the creation of an autonomous Kurdish region in northern Syria.

"The Kurdish issue now seems to be topping (Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan's list of priorities in Syria," wrote Aron Lund, a Syria expert with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

"The prospect of an oil-funded and US-backed PKK statelet on its southern border is a nightmare for Ankara," he wrote.

Kurds, who make up about 15 percent of Syria's population, have largely avoided fighting alongside either the government or opposition since the country's conflict began in March 2011.

Instead, they have focused on building semi-autonomous institutions, in March declaring a "federal region" composed of three "cantons" in north and northeast Syria.

In the global protracted war of the muslamic terrorist infighting, now Turkey has adopted to the methods of direct intervention. This step has an inkling that Turkey is the Northern Power and can be expected to play its evil role more seriously in coming future for some time to come.

Yemen: Death toll in ISIL's Aden bombing rises to 70
Gathering of new recruits at army training camp in northern part of Aden was targeted in suicide car bombing.

The death toll in a suicide car bomb attack on an army training camp in Yemen's port city of Aden has risen to 70, according to medical sources.

The incident took place at a camp in northern Aden on Monday when the attacker drove his vehicle into a gathering of new recruits at the camp.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group claimed responsibility for the attack later on Monday.

Khidra Lasour, the director general of Yemen's health ministry in Aden, told Reuters news agency that at least 67 people were wounded.

"It's a massacre. This is the highest death toll in any attack that has happened in Aden," Hakim Almasmari, editor-in-chief of Yemen Post newspaper, told Al Jazeera.

President of Philippines declares nationwide 'state of lawlessness'
Rodrigo Duterte deploys troops after bomb detonated by Islamic militant group Abu Sayyaf kills 14 and injures 70 in Davao:

The president of the Philippines has declared a nationwide “state of lawlessness” after suspected Islamic extremists detonated a bomb that killed 14 people and wounded about 70 in Davao, his home city.

Rodrigo Duterte said his declaration did not amount to an imposition of martial law. It allows troops to be deployed in urban centres to back up the police in setting up checkpoints and increasing patrols, he said.

Abu Rami, a spokesman for the Islamist militant group Abu Sayyaf, claimed responsibility for the blast near a night market and an upmarket hotel, but Duterte said investigators were looking at other possible suspects, including drug cartels, which he has targeted in a bloody crackdown.

“These are extraordinary times and I supposed that I’m authorised to allow the security forces of this country to do searches,” Duterte said on a visit to the scene of the attack. “We’re trying to cope up with a crisis now. There is a crisis in this country involving drugs, extrajudicial killings and there seems to be an environment of lawless violence.”

Duterte was mayor of Davao for years before being elected president in June. He has postponed a visit to Brunei due to begin on Sunday.

it seems that the global muslamic terrorism is spreading in to the distant Philippines and specially Mindenao. The specialty in this case is that the muslamic terrorism here must be in league with the drug mafia.

The actual problem with Pakistan is that those who are fit to join the army, they join the politics and those who are fit to join the politics, they join the the army. Now additionally to them those who are fit to join the religion they join the terrorism and those who are fit to join the terrorism they join the religion. The consequential results are clearly evident.
