1. US Citizen Killed in Riyadh: Americans ‘Were Defence Contractors for Vinnell Arabia’
One US citizen was shot dead while another was “moderately” wounded after their car, a Chevrolet Tahoe, was attacked by two unknown gunmen. One of the assailants, who was arrested after he was injured in a shootout with the police, was reported to be a Saudi man in his mid 20s, born in the US.
2. Terror trial: Suspect ‘had Tony Blair’s address’
A terror suspect was considering an indiscriminate Mumbai-style attack and had an address for Tony Blair and his wife, Cherie, the Old Bailey has heard.
Erol Incedal plotted to attack a “significant individual” or killings similar to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which left 174 dead, prosecutors said.
3. Islamic State threat video.
(I haven’t had time to watch it all yet but I will. These guys produce more video than Pixar though and its hard to keep up)
4. Major explosion in what I think is Kobani
5. US airstrikes assist Kurdish fighters in Kobani to remove a single Islamic State Flag.
(That must make the Kurds feel much better now that their streets are littered with severed Kurdish heads. Typically air attacks like this are over 1000 strikes a day. Not 30. If you have not yet heard this interview with a retired US Air Force General, please listen to it right now)
6. Police release Youtube video of battles at Al Aqsa mosque
Police combat Arab rioters who shot and threw rocks from within the Al Aqsa mosque Monday morning,.
Photo Credit: Screenshot: Official Police YouTubePolice released a video on Monday of officers removing barricades Arabs had placed at the open doors of the Al Aqsa mosque that were placed so rioters could shoot and throw rocks at officers and Jews Monday morning.
The large police force surprised the rioters by showing up shortly after 6 a.m. and removing the barricades under fire until they were able to shut the green doors to the mosque and lock the Arab “worshippers” inside.
The YouTube concludes by showing a group of Jews walking on the Temple Mount, without the usual presence of an Arab riot
Thank you Don L. Richard, M., UK Pete,
7. Vice News: Kurds helpless as Islamic State takes the city of Kobani
PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO
Thank you UK Pete, M., Don Laird, Richard and host of wonderful people who care enough to look for important information and share it in the greater context of the counter-jihad. Events leap past our predictions and the horror is greater than we dare predicted some short months or a few years ago for fear of being called crazy or hate-mongerers. Yet here it is. Now what?
“One of the assailants, who was arrested after he was injured in a shootout with the police, was reported to be a Saudi man in his mid 20s, born in the US.”
Lovely! At least it waited to smite a filthy kafir where it’s legal.
Email declares pro-Islamic State group in Yemen
SANA’A, Oct. 13—Hundreds of journalists in Yemen received an email on Friday which included a statement announcing the formation of a new organization named “Supporters of the Islamic State in the Arabian Peninsula.”
Fathi Bin Lazraq, editor-in-chief of the Aden Al-Ghad newspaper one of the journalists who received the email, said that the email came from an unknown sender and was addressed to 360 Yemeni journalists.
“It seems that this sender has sufficient knowledge on how to hide himself and is linked to the political conflict in Sana’a,” he explained, adding that the statement “sends a message to the world that empowering the Houthis in Sana’a will lead to the emergence of militants in Yemen, similar to those in Iraq and Syria.”
The copy of the statement shows the logo of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and the name of the new group. The statement is dated Thursday, October 9, the same day a suicide bomber blew himself up in the capital’s Tahrir Square during a protest rally organized by the Houthis. The suicide attack left 53 people dead and 70 injured, according to the Ministry of Health.
The statement also vowed to support the Islamic State against the international coalition, which is currently launching airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

YEMEN – Yemen’s Houthis advance near al Qaeda stronghold
Yemen’s new Shi’ite Muslim powerbrokers sent fighters towards an al Qaeda stronghold on Wednesday, raising the possibility of a showdown between the politically ascendant Houthi movement and the hardline Sunnis of the transnational militant network.
Witnesses said dozens of cars carrying armed Houthi fighters were seen arriving in the city of Ibb, bordering al-Bayda province, a bastion of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
AQAP, which views Shi’ites as heretics and Houthis as pawns of Iran’s revolutionary Shi’ite theocracy, last week claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack on a Houthi gathering in the capital Sanaa that killed at least 47 people.

There’s more to this oily mega-mosque than a show of power. They’re marking their territory for sure, but why here? why now? This bears watching.
You touched on the natural gas reserves in the eastern Mediterranean, where Turks, Israelis, Greeks, et al. are positioning themselves. The hot spots of tomorrow. Here’s a good geopolitical analysis. It’s long, but covers a lot of territory and all the players.

Australian troops to Iraq held up by legal matters
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s prime minister said on Wednesday that Australian special forces sent to Iraq haven’t been able to enter the country yet because the Iraqi government has not provided the necessary legal guarantees.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he wanted the same indemnity from prosecution under Iraqi law for 200 Australian special operations troops as American troops already had in Iraq.
Abbott said that he was confident that the situation would be resolved in the next few days.
The soldiers are being sent to advise and assist Iraqi security forces. They were sent a month ago to the United Arab Emirates at the request of the United States.
At the same time, Australia also sent six F/A-18F Super Hornet jet fighters. The fighter jets were now flying almost daily combat missions against Islamic State targets in northern Iraq, Abbott said.
Iraqi officials have repeatedly said that while the warplanes were welcome, foreign troops on the ground in their country were not.
Abbott said that objection to foreign troops was not an obstacle to the Australian military playing an advising and assisting role for Iraqi security forces.
Australia sent 2,000 troops to support U.S. and British forces in the 2003 Iraq invasion. But Australia has ruled out a ground combat role in the current conflict.

1/ I was going to say that at least this time no one in Saudi Arabia can blame it on the kuffar or call it a personal attack for revenge, but I see in the comments that someone already has.
#5 I suspect that the General knows the same thing I do, Obama is bombing and using missiles but not replacing them, the way he is piddling around it won’t be long before we don’t have the weaponry to defend ourselves. Not that Obama would order us to do so.
Sounds more likely than what a leftist was arguing with me online at start of the bombing, that it was all about the Military Industrial Complex and the military wanting to use up dated cruise missiles so it could replace them with a Raytheon upgrade.
No I don’t have a link to an article on video backing up the last post, it came from a source who is retired from the military but still has a lot of friends still serving.
“Islamic State threat video….”
It has struck me that the muslims being called “ISIS” may actually (in Arabic) be calling themselves “the Caliphate” (after all, they have the Caliph).
Is it possible to ask an Arabic speaker for a literal translation of the phrase which ISIS use to refer to themselves by? I can just imagine the western media agreeing NOT to call the Caliphate by it’s islamic name.
You are correct they usually do. In the videos I have seen I have heard them use the Arabic term for Caliphate, which sounds something like ‘kalifa’ but with more phlegm.
