    “The Afghan government has handed over a comprehensive list consisting of 32 sanctuaries being used by the Haqqani terrorist network in Pakistan.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan (MoFA) said the list was handed over to Islamabad by the officials of the Afghan Embassy.

    According to a statement by MoFA, the list also includes the names of 82 Taliban, Haqqani terrorist network, and other terror groups’ leaders operating against Afghanistan using the Pakistani soil.

    The statement further added that the Pakistani authorities have been asked to take actions against the sanctuaries and leaders of the terror groups operating in its soil.

    This comes as the Pakistani military summoned the Afghan embassy officials on Friday and handed over a list of 76 militants which they claimed are using the Afghan soil for the attacks on Pakistan.

    The Afghan government quickly reacted to Pakistan’s claims, saying Kabul welcomes to receive the list and vowed to take actions as per the documents provided and will ask for more documents if needed.

    However, the Afghan military officials said Saturday that the Pakistani authorities have so far failed to take actions against the list which they have repeated handed over to Islamabad.”

  4. Louis Farrakhan Gives Speech In Detroit To Chants Of ‘Allahu Akbar’ And ‘Long Live Muhammad’

    So, this happened Sunday night in Detroit. Louis Farrakhan delivered the Saviours’ Day keynote address at the Joe Louis Arena. And here are some words of wisdom from before the event started: “America: You’re headed into the abyss of hell.” — The power structure of this world needs to be upset. The hypocrisy of the rulers of this world needs to be exposed.” — “The deceitful hypocrites who use good words to draw ignorant people into their web need to have their system exposed.” — “When Allah promises, He fulfills His Promise. When the enemy promises, he promises only to deceive.”

    And the event itself: Min. Farrakhan enters Joe Louis Arena in Detroit as crowd cheers and says “Allah u Akbar” and “Long live Muhammad.” — Detroit City Council President tells crowd at Nation of Islam convention: “We need your help…Come home. Build your house here.” — Farrakhan says Keith Ellison, ex-Nation member, “has to bow” to “members of Jewish community” by condemning Farrakhan to lead DNC. — Farrakhan says that Jewish people are not “the chosen of God.” — Min. Farrakhan praises Trump’s “what do you have to lose” line he used in the campaign, saying Democrats haven’t helped blacks.

    Farrakhan continues to blast Clinton and the Democrats: “You got jobs yet?” – “No,” says crowd. – Did you get justice yet?” – “No.” — Farrakhan says: If you think Democrats are going to help blacks, “you’re out of your mind.” — Farrakhan to LGBT: “I’m not speaking against you…you’re my brother…my sister, & I really love you,” but “correct…behavior.” — Farrakhan on Hillary Clinton: “She’s more of a hawk than President Trump.” She “pushed Obama to kill Muammar Gaddafi.” — “America will never be made great again. Her days of greatness are over. The God of justice has come.”

    Farrakhan: Integration hasn’t worked because whites “don’t want to be with you. Can’t you get the message? They don’t want you.” — Farrakhan says to Obama: “Let’s have coffee” & talk about the problems in Chicago with violence, don’t let Trump bring in troops.
