Terrorgruppen IS-Khorasan, förkortad som IS-K, har kopplats till flera terrordåd under 2024. Bland annat attacken mot en konserthall i Moskva där över 130 personer dödades. De har också försökt attackera OS i Paris, Taylor Swifts konserter i Wien och riksdagen i Stockholm. Gruppen tog även på sig ansvaret för attentatet i Bryssel förra året, där två svenskar dödades i samband med en fotbollslandskamp. Nu kallar FN dem för "det största externa terroristhotet mot Europa". Samtidigt som IS-K har ökat sin aktivitet kraftigt, varnar flera experter för att även IS är på uppgång igen. Vilka är IS-Khorasan? Hur sammankopplade är de egentligen med IS? Och hur oroliga behöver vi vara? Gäst: Fredrik Meiton, utredare vid Center mot våldsbejakande extremism och forskare.

Klik daarvoor hier. Een mooie apocalyps  Beste Lezer!Helemaal toevallig is het natuurlijk niet, dat veel van de voorstellingen op het Holland Festival hier en daar wat apocalyptisch aandoen. De voorpagina van de site bevat nu alweer twee berichten met woorden als 'einde van alles' of 'sterven'. Je zou er een patroon in kunnen zien, maar het is natuurlijk gewoon de tijdgeest: Melencolia door Ensemble Modern op het Holland Festival: Onwerkelijk goed muziektheater over het einde van alles.Komt misschien ook omdat er deze periode best wel veel oude en jonge bekenden het leven hebben gelaten. Ik memoreer op deze plek vooral Arthur Sonnen, niet alleen omdat hij een gewaardeerd en actief lid van deze coöperatie was, maar ook omdat het theater er zonder hem anders uit had gezien. In het verleden was ik het vaak met hem oneens. Dat Het Theaterfestival bijvoorbeeld de term 'belangwekkend' hanteerde als selectiecriterium was me een doorn in het oog. En ik stond daar niet alleen in. Als bestuurder van de Kring van Nederlandse Theatercritici zag ik daarnaast hoe Nederlandse theaterrecensenten zich in de selectiegesprekken bijna altijd lieten overrulen door de veel intellectueler ingestelde Vlaamse juryleden. Wat leidde tot een festivalselectie die soms moeilijk uit te leggen was aan bijvoorbeeld de lezers van het Algemeen Dagblad, de krant waar ik toen voor werkte. Sonnens bijdrage aan de vaderlandse theatergeschiedenis is onuitwisbaar en de boomlange man is altijd een sportieve debater gebleven. Geen sorryMijn melancholie zit ook hier in: Ik schrijf deze nieuwsbrief terwijl de verse ministersploeg van het extreem-rechtse Kabinet-Stoof wordt 'ondervraagd' door de Kamer. Bij de formatie blijkt afgesproken dat niemand ergens sorry voor gaat zeggen. Niet voor beledigingen van bevolkingsgroepen, niet voor het aanhalen van teksten uit Hitler-Duitsland, niet voor geuite dreigementen aan het adres van journalisten. Niemand van de pers of het parlement gaat daar veel van zeggen, omdat 'we' eerst maar eens moeten gaan zien wat de daden worden. Terwijl de woorden al zo veel schade hebben aangericht. Volgend jaar De ToppersTijd dus voor wat andere woorden, en daarvoor hebben we onze podcast. Deze week praten Maaike Muis en ik over veel Holland Festival voorstellingen, zoals Fidelio, Forced Entertainment, Pearls, Macacos, Sisyphus en Hardkoor, maar ook over 'een ruim drie uur durende rollercoaster van nummers die je allemaal kent' (aldus Maaike): De Toppers. Maaike was er deze maand en heeft er een enthousiast verhaal over. Verfrissend, omdat ik zelf nogal eens apocalyptische gedachten krijg bij de Toppers. Dat gebeurt als 's avonds, op weg naar huis van een Holland Festival-voorstelling , de trein een extra stop maakt bij Bijlmer Arena en de meditatief stille coupé volloopt met luidruchtige vriendenclubjes. Nieuw publiekMaaike voelde zich bij de eerste keer dat ze de voorstelling van Forced Entertainment bijwoonde bijna vastgebonden. Het was een kwelling en dat gevoel bleek gedeeld te worden door de zaal. Toen ze - om professionele redenen - een tweede keer moest gaan kijken bleek de voorstelling opeens veel beter te genieten en was het publiek ook veel enthousiaster. Hoe kan dat? De tekst van de voorstelling staat grotendeels op tape en de choreografie ligt vast. Maaike denkt dat dat ligt aan het nieuwe publiek dat Holland Festival weet aan te boren. Bij de eerste keer zat er een 'professioneler' publiek van gasten, kenners en recensenten. De tweede avond was er een publiek van 'gewone' festivalgangers, die kennelijk een heel andere manier van kijken hadden.Zou het echt zo zijn dat ook een zaal vol eregasten en collega's zo verschilt van een gewone theateravond? Dat zou een pleidooi zijn voor spreiding van recensenten. Ik schreef er 22 jaar geleden al een keer over (voor de liefhebbers, iets met Joop): Klappen.Hoe dan ook is het fijn om te merken dat het Holland Festival inmiddels een diverser en jonger publiek trekt. Ook gisteren, bij die prachtige Melencolia, was de zaal opvallend jong en fris. Dat was het voor deze week. Vergeet niet om lid te worden, als je dat nog niet was. Of een donatie te doen.Tot de volgende!Wijbrand Schaap, HoofdredacteurPS: Leve PlatoHet komt even kort aan de orde in de podcast, de 20-delige serie One Day. Ik ben pas halverwege de serie en weet nog niet hoe het gaat aflopen, maar wat een waanzinnig goed scenario, wat een fantastisch idee om het script op te hangen aan steeds dezelfde datum in opvolgende jaren en niet al te veel tijd te besteden aan expositie van wat er in de tussentijd is gebeurd. Iedere schrijver zou dit tot zich moeten nemen. En bidden dat er ooit weer twee acteurs zullen zijn die zo'n zinderende chemie weten toe te voegen aan een toch al fascinerend gegeven.

Neste vídeo, exploramos um dos temas mais alarmantes e atuais: a expansão do ISIS-K (Estado Islâmico Khorasan) e seu impacto na segurança global, com foco especial na Rússia. Em março deste ano, um ataque devastador em Moscou matou 145 pessoas e feriu centenas, destacando a crescente ameaça do terrorismo doméstico. O vídeo investiga as raízes do problema, analisando a situação socioeconômica do Tajiquistão, de onde muitos jovens radicalizados emergem. Com uma economia estagnada e uma população jovem e desempregada, o país se tornou um terreno fértil para o recrutamento jihadista. A repressão política e religiosa do governo tajique só agrava a situação, empurrando mais jovens para os braços do extremismo. Discutimos também como a guerra na Ucrânia e a pressão sobre os serviços de inteligência russos contribuíram para o aumento da radicalização entre as comunidades de migrantes na Rússia. A circulação de armas e a xenofobia exacerbada contra migrantes da Ásia Central criaram um ambiente propício para a ação do ISIS-K.

Gabriel Attal a fait preuve d'autorité dans son discours lorsqu'il s'agissait des mineurs, dans l'après-midi de ce vendredi 24 mai. Arlette Chabot remarque que le Premier ministre incarne très bien l'autorité, mais il faudrait qu'il réussisse à démontrer que l'État, avec lui, n'est désormais plus impuissant. Elle insiste donc sur les moyens, car il y a eu souvent des annonces, mais le problème, c'est l'efficacité de ces mesures selon elle. Au salon de VivaTech, Elon Musk a parlé de ses visions sur l'avenir du monde, notamment de sa croyance en la civilisation multiplanétaire en cas de cataclysme sur Terre. Dominique Seux se demande comment contrôler cet homme qui intervient à peu près dans toutes les activités humaines d'aujourd'hui. Il faut faire attention et il ne faut pas écouter tout ce qu'il raconte, notamment sur la civilisation multiplanétaire, selon lui. Presque deux mois après l'attentat à Moscou, les Russes ont enfin reconnu que ceux qui étaient derrière le carnage étaient des islamistes au Khorasan. Cela était une évidence pour tout le monde. Catherine Jentile de Canecaude dit que c'est un bon progrès, mais trouve dommage que cela ait pris du temps. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.

The Islamic State-Khorasan is forging a reputation for ferocious terrorist violence. Its gunmen massacred 137 people at a Moscow concert hall in March. In January, the group's jihadists slaughtered dozens at a memorial service in Iran. In August 2021, ISIS-K was behind the suicide bombing at the Kabul airport that killed 13 U.S. soldiers and 170 Afghan civilians. Who are these guys? Who is their leader? And what does ISIS-K aim to accomplish by committing spectacular acts of terrorism far from its home base in Afghanistan. In this episode, New America vice president and CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen discuss the group's origins, motives, ideas, and goals. 

With the recent attack on Moscow, I received some requests to do a breakdown on the geopolitics of ISIS. First things first, there are two largely unaffiliated groups at play here – ISIS-Khorasan and the more widely known, ISIS.

Vladimir Putin har svært ved at finde en passende grimasse, da han 20 timer efter terrorangrebet i Moskva taler til sin befolkning. I mere end to år har han allieret sig med alle dem, der er vrede på Vesten og opfundet en strategisk vigtig historie om Vesten mod resten. Men den historie tager alvorlig skade, da Islamisk Stat i Khorasan tager ansvar for angrebet mod en koncertsal i Moskva fredag aften, hvor mindst 137 mennesker mister livet. Selvom ISIS-K tager det fulde ansvar, insisterer Putin stædigt på, at Ukraine og Vesten står bag. Genstart spørger udlandsredaktør på Weekendavisen Anna Libak, om Putin kan overbevise nogen som helst om det. Vært: Simon Stefanski. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 28/3.

This week on Rational Security, Alan and Quinta were joined again by Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Lawfare Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman—also of Georgetown University and the Center for Strategic and International Studies— to talk over the week's national security news, including:“Terror in Moscow.” On Friday, March 22, a group of gunmen unleashed an attack on a concert hall outside Moscow that killed over 130 people, shooting into a crowd of concertgoers before setting the hall on fire. The Islamic State in Khorasan, the Afghanistan branch of ISIS known as ISIS-K, quickly claimed credit for the attack, and Russian authorities have arrested four suspects. The Kremlin, without evidence, has also continued to hint that Ukraine is somehow responsible. What does the attack tell us about ISIS-K, and what does it mean for the Russian government?“April, Come She Will.” After a brief delay, Donald Trump's hush money trial in Manhattan has been scheduled to begin on April 15—the first of Trump's criminal cases to go to trial. Meanwhile, a New York appeals court threw Trump a lifeline, reducing his appeal bond in the civil fraud case against him from half a billion dollars to $175 million. Will ol' Donny Trump be able to wriggle out of this jam once again?“Come On, Aileen.” Judge Aileen Cannon is at it again down in Fort Pierce, Florida. As she presides over Trump's classified documents case, motions are piling up on her desk without any sign of a ruling, and she issued a strange, convoluted order instructing both parties to “engage with” potential jury instructions reflecting unusual readings of the Presidential Records Act in relation to the Espionage Act. Just what is Judge Cannon doing? And how, if at all, can Jack Smith respond? For object lessons, Alan endorsed the podcast “Next Year in Moscow,” on Russians living in exile who departed their country after the beginning of Putin's war with Ukraine. Tyler sang the praises of Waxahatchee's new album “Tigers Blood.” And Quinta recommended a reflection on Baltimore's collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

//The Wire Weekly Rollup//March 24-30, 2024//-----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-France: Authorities have increased the terror alert to its maximum level following the continual assessment of an increased likelihood of terrorism. Though authorities have not revealed any specific threat (beyond the violent attacks France experiences on a daily basis), the opening ceremonies for the Olympic games have been closed to tourists. Event officials are also considering closing the opening ceremonies altogether due to the security threats.Russia: Details continue to emerge following the Crocus City Hall music venue shooting last week. All four shooters have been arrested, along with a handful of other individuals accused of complicity in the attack. -HomeFront-Maryland: The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed after the M/V DALI collided with a support pylon after an unknown mechanical issue caused the vessel to deviate from her course. Details regarding the specifics of the incident have largely not been made public due to the ongoing investigation. The M/V DALI remains impaled on the bridge debris, which has caused Baltimore Harbor to be cut off from the outside world, stranding four major Military Sealift Command (MSC) ships in the harbor for the foreseeable future. Initial estimates have indicated that the bridge will take approximately 10 years to rebuild, despite only taking 5 years to build originally in 1972.Texas: Outrage continues following the revelation of clauses within the latest trillion dollar omnibus spending bill, which have mandated the federal tracking of all beef cattle in the United States.New York: City officials have announced the implementation of metal detectors in the subway system. These detectors will augment the existing military checkpoints currently in place throughout the subway system, and will be installed over the next few weeks.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: To the unknowing citizen, the excuse of ISIS-K being responsible for the Moscow attack may seem as plausible as any other theory. However, those who have field experience combatting ISIS-K may assess that the chance that ISIS-K was responsible for this attack is nearly zero. The following are a few indicators that suggest the official story, spread throughout western Europe, the United States, and even Russia, is a lie.At this point, most media outlets claim that ISIS-K has claimed responsibility for the attack. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also blamed “radical Islamists” for the attack, though not going so far as to name a specific group. The Khorasan-derived ISIS offshoot has largely declined over the past few years for many reasons. Whereas the traditional Islamic State organization has roots in Iraq and Syria, the Khorasan splinter group known as ISIS-K is a completely different organization in practice. Largely being confined to the far-reaches of eastern Afghanistan as well as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan, as recently as 2019 ISIS-K was on its way out as an organization. Numbering only a few hundred members, and taking refuge in the Tora Bora mountains (of Bin Laden fame), ISIS-K had lost so much influence that even attacks in Jalalabad were very rare. Taliban forces were at war with ISIS-K deep in the mountains, and on many occasions the United States undertook operations to target ISIS-K with the assumption that the Taliban would then move in and occupy the terrain. This was quietly the de facto policy for many years. In fact, diplomatic relations soured at the 2019 peace negotiations in Doha in response to a few high-profile instances where conventional American forces killed a few relatives of senior Taliban leadership, rather than ISIS-K. As such, the ability for ISIS-K to conduct operations outside of Afghanistan is extremely remote, especially considering that the

La o săptămână de la atentatul din Moscova, presa internațională își îndreaptă atenția către Statul Islamic din Khorasan(ISIS-K) , organizația care a revendicat lovitura. Cine este această organizație, cum a apărut și ce fel de amenințare reprezintă? Unii comentatori atrag atenția asupra diferențelor dintre această organizație și mai cunoscutul Stat Islamic. Pakistan, Iran și acum Rusia. Gruparea Stat Islamic din Khorasan, cu sediul în Afganistan, care a revendicat atacul din 22 martie de la Moscova, se opune direct liderilor talibani și vizează din ce în ce mai mult țări străine, explică The New York Times, preluat de Courrier International:”În ultimele luni, ISIS-K a amenințat ambasadele Chinei, Indiei și Iranului în Afganistan. De asemenea, a inundat țara cu propagandă anti-rusă, în care condamnă Kremlinul pentru intervențiile sale în Siria și îi critică pe talibani pentru relațiile lor cu autoritățile ruse, prezentați drept dușmanii neîmpăcați ai afganilor, încă de la invazia sovietică.Propaganda ISIS-K urmărește, de asemenea, să-i înfățișeze pe talibani drept lași care trădează istoria Afganistanului și religia lor, împrietenindu-se cu foștii lor dușmani.Aceste discursuri alimentează noi temeri, legate de atacuri comise nu de membrii ISIS-K, ci de fanatici inspirați de propaganda lor. Scopul lor este, de asemenea, să izoleze talibanii de marile puteri precum Rusia, China și Iran, care recent au încercat să se apropie de autoritățile talibane”.Pentru Le Monde, Tadjikistan, țară din Asia Centrală, este cea mai susceptibilă de infiltrarea Statului Islamic:”Patru cetăţeni tadjici sau de origine tadjică se numără printre presupuşii autori ai atacului de la Sala Crocus, de lângă Moscova. Alături de uzbeci, turkmeni și kârgâzi, aceștia formează o mare parte din membrii Statului Islamic din Khorasan (EI-K), care a revendicat atacul.O altă observație: strategia sa de recrutare vizează acum indivizii dezamăgiți de talibani și luptători străini. În ultimele douăsprezece luni, filiala ISIS din Afganistan a reușit în special să recruteze militanți din Jamaat Ansarullah, un grup islamist extremist tadjic, care intenționează să răstoarne guvernul din Dușanbe”.The Conversation notează că Tadjikistanul, o țară fără ieșire la mare, cu10 milioane de locuitori, cuprinsă între Uzbekistan, Afganistan și China, este cea mai săracă dintre fostele republici sovietice. Este cunoscută pentru corupția și represiunea politică, sub pumnul de fier al președintelui Emomali Rahmon, din 1994.Se estimează că în Rusia trăiesc peste trei milioane de tadjici, aproximativ o treime din totalul populației de etnie tadjică. Cei mai mulți dintre ei dețin statutul precar de „lucrători oaspeți”, având locuri de muncă prost plătite în construcții, piețe comerciale sau chiar în curățarea toaletelor publice.Dar ISIS-K este la fel cu mai cunoscutul Stat Islamic? Nu chiar – explică Politico:”În practică, ISIS-K este o operațiune de franciză și se bucură de o autonomie semnificativă din partea conducerii ISIS. Ca în cazul oricărei francize, marca ISIS îi oferă recunoaștere, credibilitate și acces la finanțare și resurse. Dar ambițiile sale globale și ideologice există alături de nemulțumiri și obiective foarte locale, în acest caz, urmărind răsturnarea talibanilor pentru a-și stabili propria versiune a unui stat islamic..Atacurile din străinătate nu sunt planificate și executate de luptătorii din Afganistan, care sunt preocupați de talibani. Vedem din ce în ce mai mulți jihadiști din Asia Centrală sau actori din străinătate implicați în aceste atacuri”.

"L'Etat islamique au Khorasan" a revendiqué l'attaque meurtrière du 23 mars contre une salle de concert près de Moscou, un attentat qui a fait au moins 143 morts, selon un bilan communiqué par les autorités russes mercredi soir. Cette "filiale" de l'organisation Etat islamique a déjà tenté à plusieurs reprises de commettre des attentats en France, selon le Premier ministre français Gabriel Attal.D'où vient cette organisation ? Et quelles menaces fait-elle peser sur l'Europe à quelques mois d'événements majeurs comme l'Euro de football en Allemagne et des Jeux olympiques à Paris ?Décryptage avec Didier Lauras, journaliste au Pôle international de l'AFP, spécialiste du terrorisme.Réalisation : Maxime MametSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

El ataque contra la sala de conciertos Crocus City Hall de Moscú no es la primera atrocidad cometida por el grupo Estado Islámico-Khorasan.

IS Khorasan được thành lập bởi các thành viên bất mãn của Taliban Pakistan, Phong trào Hồi giáo Uzbekistan và các nhóm khác cam kết trung thành với IS. Các quan chức Mỹ và phương Tây nhiều lần cảnh báo về ý định của IS-Khorasan thực hiện các cuộc tấn công vượt ra ngoài biên giới Afghanistan.

C dans l'air du 25 mars 2024 - Etat islamique : Après Moscou, la France menacée Trois jours après l'attentat dans une salle de concert à Moscou, faut-il craindre pour la France ? Alors que le plan Vigipirate a été relevé dimanche soir à son niveau maximal, "urgence attentat", après un Conseil de défense exceptionnel, Emmanuel Macron a de nouveau pris la parole ce lundi pour évoquer ce que certains qualifient de "Bataclan russe", du nom de la salle de concert parisienne où 90 personnes ont péri lors des attentats du 13 novembre. Selon les déclarations du président de la République, arrivé en Guyane pour un déplacement, la branche du groupe djihadiste Daesh "impliquée" dans l'attaque de vendredi soir "avait conduit ces derniers mois plusieurs tentatives" sur le "sol" français. De quoi justifier le passage à une surveillance renforcée dans les endroits considérés comme sensibles - établissements scolaires, lieux de culte, gares – par la police, la gendarmerie et les militaires de l'opération "Sentinelle". D'autant que des menaces d'attentat contre des établissements scolaires des Hauts-de-France et d'Ile-de-France ont été diffusées, ces derniers jours via leurs espaces numériques de travail (ENT) piratés. La dernière fois que la France est passée en plan "urgence attentat", c'était après la mort de Dominique Bernard, un enseignant tué dans l'enceinte du lycée Gambetta-Carno d'Arras lors d'une attaque au couteau le 13 octobre 2023. Pendant ce temps à Russie, quatre assaillants présumés ont été placés en détention provisoire depuis hier après avoir été torturés par les services de sécurité qui ont diffusé des vidéos des sévices subis pendant leurs interrogatoires. L'attaque vendredi soir au Crocus City Hall de Moscou a fait plus de 137 morts et plus de 180 blessés selon un bilan provisoire. Malgré la revendication de l'Etat islamique, les autorités russes continuent d'accuser l'Ukraine, ce que Kiev a fermement démenti. Mais désormais les regards se tournent vers le groupe État islamique au Khorasan (EI-K), la branche afghane de Daesh qui est présentée comme la première suspecte par les experts du terrorisme mondial et les services de renseignements français. Un groupe au développement incessant depuis sa création en 2015 et dont la force de frappe ne cesse d'inquiéter. Car il a déjà démontré ces dernières années sa capacité à mener des attaques autant en Afghanistan qu'en Iran ou en Russie. Pour l'instant, l'Europe n'a pas été frappée par l'EI-K mais plusieurs réseaux ont été démantelés. Alors que sait-on du groupe État islamique au Khorasan ? Pourquoi cible-t-il la Russie ? Quel est l'état de la menace terroriste en France ? Qu'est-ce que l'opération "Sentinelle" ? Comment les militaires de l'opération sont-ils formés ? Dans quelles conditions peuvent-ils faire usage de leurs armes ?

Russians are mourning after the worst terrorist attack in the country in two decades. More than 130 people died when gunmen opened fire at a concert hall on Moscow's outskirts on Friday night. It's a major security lapse, but will it cause more Russians to doubt Vladimir Putin's leadership?We'll also explain why the Islamic State group that's claimed responsibility for the attack would want to strike Russia. Featured: Rajan Menon, director of the grand strategy program at Defense Priorities

Efter terrordådet i Moskva i Ryssland har IS-grenen IS-K, som står för Islamiska staten i Khorasan, tagit på sig ansvaret för dådet. Den ryska polisen har häktat fyra män från Tadzjikistan som misstänks ligga bakom attacken. På en kvart får du veta hur starka IS är just nu och om Moskva-attacken är början på en ny terrorvåg i Europa. Med Jesper Sundén, Mellanösternanalytiker på SvD.

O ataque de sexta-feira, 22 de Março, a uma sala de concertos nos arredores de Moscovo, que provocou pelo menos 137 mortos e mais de 180 feridos, foi reivindicado por um grupo filiado no Daesh e considerado o mais mortífero em solo russo os últimos anos. João Henriques, vice-presidente do Observatório do Mundo islâmico, considera que com este atentado o Daesh mostra à comunidade internacional que reforçou a capacidade de ataque. O que é que se sabe deste ataque?Sabe-se que aconteceu numa sala de espectáculos, em Krasnoyarsk, nos arredores de Moscovo. [Este atentado] surge como mais uma reacção do Daesh à intervenção das forças russas na Síria e no Iraque. Aquilo que pretendem através destas acções, com grande número de vítimas, é alertar para o aumento da capacidade [de ataque], depois de terem sido afastados pelas forças de coligação internacionais na Síria e no Iraque. Estas acções representam uma demonstração para toda a comunidade internacional de que estão preparados [para regressar].Pode falar-se no regresso do Daesh?Sim, é o regresso. Se bem que já houve cerca de 50 ataques nos últimos 25 anos, quando o Daesh foi afastado pelas forças da coligação internacional da Síria e do Iraque. Todavia, ficaram pequenas franjas nestes dois países que se deslocalizaram para a Ásia Central e também para África. E em África aproveitaram-se…Da fragilidade de Moçambique?Moçambique, Cabo Delgado, é um bom exemplo. Mas diria que os exemplos mais gritantes estão na região do Sahel. Não só o Daesh, como também a própria Al-Qaeda e grupos afiliados, aproveitam a fragilidade destes Estados, alguns deles considerados mesmo Estados falhados, para prepararem novas investidas, particularmente no mundo ocidental.Este ataque revela as fragilidades da Rússia em matéria de segurança?A Rússia terá alegadamente estado distraída com a guerra na Ucrânia.Os Estados Unidos já vieram dizer que avisaram a Rússia…Sim, mas também já houve uma declaração, por parte das autoridades do Kremlin, a dizer que que não foram avisados, apesar dessa informação estar internacionalmente a ser divulgada. Mas mesmo que tivessem sido alertados, nada desculpa que os serviços de informações se tenham alheado dessa possibilidade. A verdade é que aconteceu e é admissível que a guerra na Ucrânia tenha desviado o foco [das autoridades russas].O Presidente Vladimir Putin disse que os serviços de segurança tinham capturado quatro suspeitos quando tentavam fugir para a Ucrânia. A Ucrânia, que já veio negar qualquer implicação neste ataque, todavia esta manhã várias explosões foram ouvidas em Kiev. Moscovo terá aproveitado este ataque para aumentar os ataques sobre a Ucrânia?Essa é a posição dos países ocidentais. Que se trata de uma manobra para justificar a intensificação dos ataques em território ucraniano. Mas deixe-me dizer que a Rússia não precisava desta justificação para intensificar os ataques na Ucrânia. Agora, uma coisa parece ser evidente, estes alegados terroristas foram identificados e dois já foram apresentados em tribunal. Quando fugiram de Moscovo, iam a caminho da Ucrânia, estavam muito perto da fronteira com a Ucrânia. Isto pode revelar que tenha havido por parte de algumas entidades ucranianas, porque não até do próprio Governo ucraniano, algum envolvimento no sentido de lhes dar um refúgio.A ser verdade, é muito grave…É grave. Mas a Ucrânia também pretende dar uma resposta à invasão [russa] que aconteceu há dois anos. Essa gravidade não é considerada pelas autoridades ucranianas, são formas de retaliação. Portanto, em tudo aquilo que as autoridades ucranianas puderem participar, nem que seja na sombra, como terá sido o caso.Embora isso não seja entendido da mesma maneira pelo Kremlin, porque afirma categoricamente que a Ucrânia está envolvida nisto para fazer o enfraquecer, para atenuar a agressão russa em território ucraniano, provocando alguma distracção. E temos um exemplo próximo, que é o que está a acontecer também no Médio Oriente.Um dos detidos supostamente envolvidos no ataque confessou que lhes prometeram 500.000 rublos, cerca de 5.000 € para participar neste atentado, um atentado que começou há apenas um mês com oferta monetária. O que é que isto revela?A ser verdade, é um investimento que é feito para que haja motivação por parte destes grupos terroristas, destes grupos jihadistas salafistas, para que possam, de alguma maneira, sentir-se motivados para este tipo de iniciativas. Mas a motivação é de outra natureza. É uma motivação religiosa também. A motivação está sobretudo centrada na resposta àquilo que consideram ser uma péssima gestão por parte de Moscovo, nomeadamente os grupos jihadistas, estamos a falar do Daesh e deste ramo do Estado do grupo do Islâmico- EI-K- da região de Khorasan- que dizem que os russos têm as mãos com o sangue dos muçulmanos.Aqui em França, o primeiro-ministro Gabriel Attal anunciou o reforço do plano de segurança do país para o nível mais elevado, na sequência do ataque, Várias escolas francesas receberam, na semana passada, alguns e-mails com ameaças. A ameaça da Daesh volta a assombrar a Europa?Eu, pessoalmente, nunca acreditei que essa ameaça estivesse extinta. Na verdade, estas duas organizações- estou a falar da Al-Qaida e do Daesh- reorganizaram-se nos últimos tempos. A estratégia foi alterada e o próprio Daesh aproximou-se da estratégia que estava ligada à Al-Qaeda.Neste momento,  o Daesh e  Al-Qaeda também, estão a promover uma expansão deste flagelo, considerando a participação de filiais aqui perto da Europa. Há pouco falei da região do Sahel, porque, mais a leste, estou a lembrar-me da Somália. O Al-Shabab, uma filial da Al-Qaeda, também já ameaçou internacionalizar a sua acção não só no continente africano, como também na Europa.Embora o que aconteceu há dois dias tenha sido na Europa de Leste, quando falamos na Europa Ocidental, a França é um dos países visados nas comunicações que tem havido através das redes sociais por parte do Daesh.Estas comunicações têm visado a França e isso, naturalmente, provoca uma reacção defensiva por parte dos países visados, neste caso a França, que elevou para o nível máximo o estado de alerta, reactivando o modelo de Vigipirate.

Nader Shah was not born to rule. He was poor, the son of a shepherd in a semi-nomadic tribe, and had no connection to the throne. But he was physically impressive; he stood over six feet tall, had dark piercing eyes, and a voice so loud that it is said to have caused his enemies to flee. He also innately understood warfare and it was in the military where he started to make a name for himself. Step-by-step, this poor shepherd from Khorasan accumulated power and influence. Before long he overthrew the last of the Safavids and ruled over all of Persia, but he did not stop there. He went on to push back the Ottomans, win many victories in Central Asia, and, most notoriously, sack Delhi, carting off the Peacock Throne, the Koh-i-Noor and eight thousand wagons of bejeweled loot. Listen as William and Anita discuss the life of Nader Shah, dubbed by some as the Napoleon of Persia.

fWotD Episode 2420: Tolui Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Wednesday, 20 December 2023 is Tolui.Tolui (c. 1191–1232) was the youngest son of Temüjin, the founder of the Mongol Empire under the title Genghis Khan, and his first wife Börte. A prominent general during the early Mongol conquests, Tolui was a leading candidate to succeed his father after his death in 1227 and ultimately served as regent until the accession of his brother Ögedei two years later. Tolui's wife was Sorghaghtani Beki; their sons included Möngke and Kublai, the fourth and fifth khagans of the empire, and Hulagu, the founder of the Ilkhanate.Tolui was less active than his elder brothers Jochi, Chagatai, and Ögedei during their father's rise to power, but once he reached adulthood he was considered the finest warrior of the four. He commanded armies under his father during the first invasion of Jin China (1211–1215), and his distinguished service during the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire secured his reputation. After the fall of the cities of Transoxiana in 1220, Genghis dispatched Tolui early the following year to subjugate the region of Khorasan, which had begun to cause trouble for the Mongol armies. Tolui executed his orders with ruthless efficiency, assaulting the major cities of Merv, Nishapur, and Herat, and subjugating numerous others. Medieval chroniclers attributed more than three million deaths to the massacres he ordered at Nishapur and Merv; while these figures are considered exaggerated by modern historians, they are evidence of the abnormal brutality of Tolui's campaign.As the Mongols' traditional inheritance system was a form of ultimogeniture, Tolui was always a leading candidate to succeed his father. His position was strengthened by the elimination of Jochi and Chagatai, on account of possible illegitimacy and excessive arrogance respectively. Genghis eventually passed Tolui over in favour of Ögedei, who was known for his generosity. Tolui was on his father's last campaign when the latter died in mid-1227; as the youngest son, he became regent, in charge of his father's burial and the administration of the nation. It is possible that the two-year interregnum was lengthened by Tolui's desire to become khan himself; he nevertheless eventually swore allegiance to Ögedei, who was crowned in 1229.Tolui accompanied Ögedei after the resumption of warfare against the Jin dynasty in 1230. The campaign was successful and they returned home to Mongolia two years later. That year, Tolui died in unclear circumstances. The official record was that he died during a shamanic ritual while saving Ögedei from a curse; alternative theories suggest that he died from alcoholism or that Ögedei had him poisoned. Having taken over Tolui's lands and estates after his death, Sorghaghtani amassed enough wealth and supporters to ensure that her son Möngke took power in 1251, after the death of Ögedei's son Güyük.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:24 UTC on Wednesday, 20 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Tolui on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Matthew Standard.

The Dabuyid Dynasty, otherwise known as the Gaubarid Dynasty, was an Iranian Zoroastrian Dynasty ruled by a group of independent kings, called Ispahbads. Most of what is known about the Dabuyid Dynasty is from the later historian Ibn Isfandiyar's Tarikh-I Tabaristan, written in the 13th Century. Although the dynasty was founded by Gil Gavbara in 642 CE, it was named after his son, Dabuya, who controlled the kingdom after his father's death. Dabuyid rule extended over Tabaristan and western Khorasan until the Abbasid conquest in 760. The dynasty ended with the suicide of Khurshid after a surprise invasion by the Abbasid Caliphate.

This week's episode focuses on Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-K), a regional affiliate of Islamic State primarily active in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We discuss the group in the context of the Taliban takeover two years ago, assessing the threat posed by the group to the region and to the West. We also focus on IS-K's online activity and the increasingly prominent role the affiliate plays in IS propaganda, recruitment, and operational output.Join Anne Craanen as she speaks to two members of the Tech Against Terrorism Open Source-Intelligence (OSINT) team: Arthur Bradley, the OSINT Manager with a background in security intelligence and specific expertise on terrorist propaganda, and Louise Meloy, an OSINT analyst who has previously worked for the EU Commission and NATO on security policy as well as in the private sector as an intel analyst.

Shaikh Abu Saeed Abil Kheir (Abu Saeed Mubarak Makhzoomi) (967 - 1049 CE) was a famous Persian Sufi and poet who contributed extensively to the evolution of Sufi tradition. Referring to himself as "nobody, son of nobody" he expressed the reality that his life had disappeared in the heart of God.  This revered Persian Sufi mystic from Khorasan preceded the great poet Jalaluddin Rumi by over two hundred years on the same path of annihilation in Love. 

Following the exit of US forces in 2021, the Taliban rolled back into power almost immediately. They promised that they had learnt from previous mistakes and did not want to minimalize the role of women. However, little over 18 months later and the Taliban have just announced that women were now banned from the universities and working for NGO's, just the latest in a succession of repressive policies aimed at women. Furthermore, Afghanistan still has an insurgency problem. The Islamic State of Khorasan, or IS-K, formed in 2016 following disaffected Taliban members gaining inspiration from the gains maid by IS in both Iraq and Syria. They regard the Taliban as traitors and have their own desires that stretch far beyond the borders of Afghanistan. In the middle are Afghanistan's citizens who find themselves victims from all sides. The Taliban's focus on implementing Sharia law regardless of the impact has both all but erased women from society and left the economy in perilous state. Can the Taliban gain control of its own borders or does it need external help? And if so, does that offer a window to gain some leverage regarding human rights in the country? Find out as we ask, Can the Taliban tackle Afghanistan's terror problem?

War A to Z▪️Abbasid Revolution▪️Date- 747 A.D. - 750 A.D.Location - Khorasan province IranParticipants - Umayyads vs AbbasidsKey Players - Caliph Marwan, Governor Nasir Ibn Sayyar, Muhammad Ali, Abu MuslimKey Battles - Merv, Nahavand, Isfahan, Mosul▪️The Issue - The powerful Umayyad Caliphate, the second of the original four in early Islamic history, had a rocky relationship with its many subjects. The Umayyads were an Arab dynasty but could prove no direct relationship or bloodline to the Prophet's family, and they had a willingness to tax all subjects at very high rates, Arab and non-Arab alike. Because they treated Arabs better than anyone, and should no preference for non-Arab muslims, the Umayyad's had few friends in their lands. Some of the more discriminatory policies led to unrest and two leaders started to form an opposition party; Muhammad Ibn Ali, who could boast a blood tie to the Prophet and Abu Muslim, an Iranian leader that gave voice to the over taxed non-Arab and non-muslims. Wearing black and touting a black flag, mirroring the Prophets own battle flag, the Abbasids began their revolution in 745.▪️The Result - The ensuing five years saw dozens of battles, from Merv to Nahavand, Isfahan to Mosul. The Abbasid forces crippled the Umayyad power structure and forced the governor of Khorasan to flee from city to city until at last he died in 748 A.D. The ignominious death of Governor Sayyar was to be repeated by the Caliph himself. As Abu Muslim's forces marched on Harrran, Caliph Marwan ran for safety making it all the way to Egypt. Unfortunately for him, Marwan didn't live long in the land of the pharaohs, he was murdered in 750 A.D. The resulting power vacuum caused by the Umayyad collapse allowed Abu Muslim to roll up Syria, Iraq, and Iran into the Abbasid Empire. A legitimate Islamic government was installed and tax laws and revenues regulated by the ruling Muslim dynasty. Abu al-Abbas was chosen as their first caliph and he ruled from the new capital of the Islamic world - Baghdad.▪️Rate/Review/Subscribe▪️Source - MacGill's Military History

« Je ne suis qu'un homme semblable à vous » : sainteté cachée et principes spirituels des “Hommes du blâme” ( les malâmatis) Cette intervention permettra de présenter le mouvement mal connu des malâmatis et des principes de la spiritualité qu'ils ont développés dans la province du Khorasan (nord-est de l'Iran actuel) autour du Xe siècle. Fondamentalement, la malâma exprime la conviction que l'âme-ego est le voile suprême empêchant l'homme d'accéder à la présence divine. Ce terme représenta une forme de spiritualité profondément intériorisée et, pour Ibn ‘Arabī, une catégorie de saints occupant les plus hauts degrés de la hiérarchie spirituelle. Si la Malâmatiyya n'a pas survécu en tant que voie particulière, toutes les voies ont eu des maîtres qui incarnèrent et incarnent toujours les valeurs et les principes spirituels de la malâma, en particulier les voies Naqshbandiyya et Shâdhiliyya. Son exemple reste ainsi toujours d'actualité. Spécialiste du soufisme, Jean-Jacques Thibon est professeur en langue arabe et islamologie à l'INALCO (Paris).

Bienvenido a La Wikly.🇮🇹 Crisis sin finPor Anita PereyraGuardacostas italianos rescataron la semana pasada a 539 migrantes, muchos de ellos mujeres y niños, de una embarcación a la deriva cerca de la isla Lampedusa.La isla es uno de los principales puertos a los que arriban personas que desean emigrar a Europa. Tiene un campamento que fue diseñado para albergar a 300 personas, aunque actualmente hay más de cinco veces ese número.Los migrantes provenían de Libia, país destrozado por una guerra civil y la intervención extranjera, en un intento desesperado por obtener asilo en Europa.Pese a ser el país africano con mayores reservas de gas y petróleo, Libia es actualmente incapaz de dispensar a sus ciudadanos los servicios indispensables para su supervivencia.Unicef advirtió a primeros de mes que cientos de miles de niños en situación vulnerable corrían el riesgo de perder el suministro de agua como consecuencia de los continuos ataques a las instalaciones de tratamiento y depuración.Libia también lleva cinco años arrastrando una crisis eléctrica, que combina los daños y sabotajes a la red pública de distribución con el aumento de temperaturas, que genera una dependencia mayor a dispositivos eléctricos de refrigeración.Todo, agravado por condiciones sanitarias deplorables, poca accesibilidad a la educación y la amenaza constante de inseguridad bajo la que intentan vivir los ciudadanos de un país en guerra desde hace una década.Un par de semanas atrás, guardacostas tunecinos rescataron a un centenar de inmigrantes que intentaban cruzar ilegalmente el Mediterráneo antes de sufrir una avería en el bote.Más de la mitad provenían de Sudán, un país que atraviesa una grave crisis económica y enfrenta una dura escasez de productos básicos como harina y combustible, mientras que la tasa de inflación supera el 400 por ciento.Hace poco más de una semana, la Agencia de la ONU para Refugiados (ACNUR) denunció el trágico naufragio de una embarcación que zarpó con 54 personas rumbo a las Islas Canarias. Después de dos días en el mar, una falla en el motor dejó a los pasajeros varados sin agua ni comida durante casi 15 días.Cuando la guardia costera de Mauritania localizó la embarcación, solo siete personas a bordo estaban vivas.Más de 1.000 migrantes murieron o desaparecieron intentando cruzar el Mediterráneo desde comienzos del 2021, según las últimas estadísticas de la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones, agencia de Naciones Unidas.De hecho, a finales de mayo, la Oficina de Derechos Humanos de la ONU instó a través de un informe a Libia y a la Unión Europea a revisar sus operaciones de rescate.Argumentan que las políticas existentes "no dan prioridad a las vidas, la seguridad y los Derechos Humanos" de las personas que intentan cruzar desde África.La situación es un complejo entramado de culpas y responsabilidades en el que la burocracia internacional malgasta tiempo que muchos inmigrantes desesperados no pueden darse el lujo de perder.Más información en France 24.🌪 Ida toca tierraEl huracán Ida de categoría 4 aterrizó este domingo en el estado de Louisiana con vientos de más de 240 kilómetros por hora, a apenas unos pocos de alcanzar la categoría 5 que sí tuvo el Katrina.Katrina fue un devastador huracán de categoría 5 que arrasó la ciudad Nueva Orleans hace exactamente 16 años por culpa de los fallos en el sistema de diques que protegía la ciudad.Ida dejó sin luz a Nueva Orleans después de que los vientos desplomaran la mayor torre de transmisión de la ciudad y la tiraran al río Mississippi. Las autoridades estiman que serán días, e incluso semanas, antes de que cientos de miles de personas puedan recuperar la electricidad.Las ocho líneas de transmisión que llegan a la ciudad de Nueva Orleans estaban inoperativas en la noche del domingo.Las autoridades todavía no se atreven a hacer valoraciones sobre los daños que ha podido hacer Ida a la infraestructura de Nueva Orleans y otras áreas del sur de Louisiana, pero por ahora no se conocen daños importantes.Más información en NOLA.🇦🇫 Vuelven los dronesEl Pentágono llevó a cabo este domingo un ataque de dron para repeler potenciales ataques terroristas contra el aeropuerto internacional de Kabul. Horas después, medios locales e internacionales se hicieron eco de civiles fallecidos a causa de las explosiones.Hasta diez civiles afganos podrían haber muerto en el ataque, incluidos varios niños.Las autoridades estadounidenses confían en que ningún civil murió en el ataque de dron, pero que las explosiones detonadas por el coche bomba neutralizado sí pudieron haber provocado daños colaterales.Estados Unidos sigue llevando a cabo operaciones de evacuación, aunque ahora la prioridad está en sacar a las miles de tropas que todavía protegen el aeropuerto de Kabul con la ayuda sorprendente de los talibanes y la amenaza constante del Estado Islámico Khorasan.Miles de afganos se han quedado a las puertas de poder abandonar Afganistán en uno de los vuelos militares de EE.UU., que desde hace dos semanas ha sacado del país a más de 117.000 personas, la mayoría civiles afganos.Más información en Al Jazeera.Si quieres apoyar este proyecto, y de paso tener acceso a nuestra comunidad de Discord, los eventos exclusivos que organizamos allí y recibir contenido exclusivo tres veces a la semana, puedes apuntarte a La Wikly Premium aquí:Feliz semana, This is a public episode.

The much anticipated sequel to the breathtaking New York Times bestseller THE WRATH AND THE DAWN. I am surrounded on all sides by a desert. A guest, in a prison of sand and sun. My family is here. And I do not know whom I can trust. In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad has been torn from the love of her husband Khalid, the Caliph of Khorasan. She once believed him a monster, but his secrets revealed a man tormented by guilt and a powerful curse-one that might keep them apart forever. Reunited with her family, who have taken refuge with enemies of Khalid, and Tariq, her childhood sweetheart, she should be happy. But Tariq now commands forces set on destroying Khalid's empire. Shahrzad is almost a prisoner caught between loyalties to people she loves. But she refuses to be a pawn and devises a plan. While her father, Jahandar, continues to play with magical forces he doesn't yet understand, Shahrzad tries to uncover powers that may lie dormant within her. With the help of a tattered old carpet and a tempestuous but sage young man, Shahrzad will attempt to break the curse and reunite with her one true love.

One of Time magazine's 100 best fantasy books of all time. A number one New York Times best seller and a sumptuous epic tale inspired by A Thousand and One Nights. Every dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer. Khalid, the 18-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night, only to have her executed at sunrise. So it is a terrible surprise when 16-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to marry Khalid. But she does so with a clever plan to stay alive and exact revenge on the Caliph for the murder of her best friend and countless other girls. Shazi's wit and will get her through to the dawn that no others have seen, but with a catch...she may be falling in love with a murderer. Shazi discovers that the villainous boy-king is not all that he seems and neither are the deaths of so many girls. It's up to her to uncover the reason for the murders and to break the cycle once and for all. So you would have me throw Shazi to the wolves? Shazi? Honestly, I pity the wolves.

The latest episode of the COVID-19 subseries of The Appropriate Omnivore focuses on baking. While sheltering at home, many have learned to bake during the pandemic. Even better, many are baking sourdough and using ancient grains. So Aaron Zober brings on Montana farmer Bob Quinn, who introduced the ancient wheat known as khorasan to the world and trademarked it as KAMUT. Bob gets into the problems modern wheat has which makes it unable to digest it for many. He then discusses KAMUT's practices to produce healthy and sustainable grains. KAMUT is not only organic, but also uses regenerative agriculture. Bob then mentions the various brands which use KAMUT. Aaron brings up how he loves the Eden Foods KAMUT pasta. In addition to KAMUT, Bob Quinn sells a cold pressed organic safflower oil under the name The Oil Barn. Bob explains the advantages of safflower oil and why it needs to be cold pressed. Bob also lets the listeners know what bakeries we can find in Montana with KAMUT baked goods. Aaron ends the program having Bob talk about some KAMUT products available overseas which he'd like to see available in the United States.

narrated by Chris Gratien featuring Joshua White, Zoe Griffith, Sara Nur Yıldız, and Neelam Khoja | The Mongol conquests of the 13th century were an unprecedented event. Not since the Islamic conquests of the 7th and 8th centuries had such a rapid political rise occurred. For a time, Mongol successor states controlled most of Asia. And though many of these dynasties would not last, the lasting consequences of the Mongol Empire would be many. In this episode, we study the consequences of the Mongol period for the Islamic world, focusing both on the immediate destructive impacts that appear in the Islamic sources from the period as well as the lasting transformations introduced by Mongol rule. Whether in terms of political ideology, law, trade, or culture, the Mongol period represented a significant departure for Muslim societies east of Egypt. In addition to highlighting the impacts of the Mongols in former Seljuk domains of Iran and Anatolia, we discuss the rise of the Timurid dynasty in Khorasan and foreshadow its legacy for South Asia. « Click for More »
