Why Are Russian, Central Asian Militants Vanishing From Social Networks?by support@pangea-cms.com (Joanna Paraszczuk)
Whereas just a few months ago, Russian social networks were abuzz with propaganda and recruitment activity from personal militant accounts and official propaganda pages, many accounts have been banned, gone quiet, or closed. Where did they go?
Three airlines announce plans to start repatriating stranded British holidaymakers from Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh airport to the UK on Friday.
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's air force flew 81 sorties and hit 263 targets in Syria in the last two days, the Russian Defence Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that the Russian jet that crashed in Egypt last Saturday was “more likely than not” brought down by a bomb although the investigation has yet to be concluded.
Cameron spoke a day after the British government decided to ground flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh, the Red Sea resort town where the airliner took off on Saturday morning headed to St. Petersburg.
The cause of the crash on Oct. 31, remains undetermined as investigators from several countries continue to work in Egypt. The crash killed 244 people on board the chartered flight, mainly Russian tourists returning from the picturesque resorts along Egypt’s Red Sea coast.
If the plane was destroyed by a bomb, it could mark a shift in the battle between the Egyptian state and Sinai-based militants, and in the larger battle with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria(ISIS), which controls large parts of Iraq and Syria.
The local branch of ISIS in Sinai claimed it brought down the airliner on Saturday. The Russian and Egyptian governments rejected that claim, for which the group offered no proof. But if proven true, it would mark the first time the Sinai-based militant movement has carried out an attack resulting in mass civilian casualties.
“There’s still an investigation taking place in Egypt. We need to see the results of that investigation,” said Cameron. “The reason we’ve acted before that is because of intelligence and information we have that gave us the concern that it was—more likely than not it was a terrorist bomb.”
The theories of possible causes of the crash range from a mechanical failure to the possibility that a bomb was smuggled onto the plane. British aviation security experts inspected Sharm el-Sheikh airport earlier this year but concerns about poor security remained. Tony Lesser, a British tourist, returned from Sharm el-Sheikh last month, and said he was very concerned about security which could be easily bypassed. He told the BBC that local people walked freely around the airport and the system for scanning and checking luggage appeared very relaxed.
Cameron’s comments added to mounting concern that the crash could have resulted from militant activity although the Russian and Egyptian governments have not arrived at that conclusion. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that Moscow “cannot rule out a single theory” about the crash, according to the Associated Press. A statement from the Egyptian civil aviation ministry said, “The investigation team does not have yet any evidence or data confirming this hypothesis.”
Satellite surveillance detected a flash of light at the moment the Airbus A321 broke apart in air on Saturday, according to U.S. military officials cited by the New York Times who made that information available to the news media. That could be evidence that there was an explosion onboard the plane either in a fuel tank or resulting from a bomb.
Neither the U.S. nor the British governments are part of the multinational team investigating the crash in Egypt. Officials from Egypt, Russia, Ireland, Germany, and France are involved in the investigation.
Other evidence has pointed toward the possibility of a physical or mechanical problem with the plane. The jet was damaged in 2001 when its tail struck a runway. However, airline officials said they had ruled out the possibility of a mechanical problem.
Experts have all but ruled out the possibility that the plane was shot down, since the airliner was flying at its cruising altitude of more than 30,000 feet when it started descending, higher than the reach of any weapon known to be in the possession of Sinai militants.
The crash has also cast a glaring spotlight on Egypt’s president Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, a former military commander who led the armed forces in deposing the elected Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
Sisi is currently visiting London in a visit denounced by human rights groups who point to the record of Sisi’s government, which has carried out a crackdown on political dissidents and Islamist groups, jailing some 40,000 people according to several rights groups.
A slow-burning insurgency has existed in the Sinai Peninsula for years, but the insurgents’ attacks expanded in number and scope after the removal of president Morsi. Those attacks have intensified in recent months, with deadly attacks focusing on Egypt’s military and police.
The primary militant group operating in Sinai, formerly called Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, a reference to Jerusalem, swore allegiance to ISIS in November 2014.
In the wake of a wave of attacks over the summer, including the assassination of the chief prosecutor in a daylight bombing, the Egyptian military has gone on the offensive against the militants, killing hundreds in a campaign it calls Operation “Martyr’s Right.”
However, throughout these battles, it has been an open question whether, after joining ISIS, the home-grown Sinai insurgents would shift tactics and stage more attacks on civilians.
“It’s something that, in a sense, everyone’s been bracing for since 2013. It’s almost surprising that there haven’t been more attacks of this type,” says Issandr el-Amrani, the director of the North Africa project at International Crisis Group. “In a way it’s been fortunate that there hasn’t been, like in the 1990s, attacks against hotels, against politicians and so on,” he says when reached by phone.
The militant group, which now calls itself the “Sinai Province” of the Islamic State, has killed civilians in the past. In 2014 a bomber killed four people, including an Egyptian driver and three tourists from South Korea in the Sinai town of Taba.
“The last 24 hours have been filled with speculation and people over-interpreting what the British said,” says el-Amrani, “To me it seems still speculative, and the U.S. government clearly is not ready to make an official statement on the issue.”
Sharm el-Sheikh and the other Red Sea resort towns were also struck with a series of bomb blasts between 2004 and 2006, which killed 145 people. But in the context of the recent insurgency, the northern and southern sections of the Sinai Peninsula have taken on the appearance of separate worlds.
In the north, the military is engaged in an intense battle with the insurgents in a world of checkpoints and bombed-out buildings. On Wednesday a suicide bomber killed at least four members of the police in the town of el-Arish. The military says it has killed hundreds of militants in the north in its recent campaign there, but it is nearly impossible to verify those claims, as the area is off limits to most journalists.
Human rights groups say the government is using a heavy hand in the north. The authorities demolished at least 3,255 buildings, expelling thousands of people from their homes over slightly more than two years, according to a report from Human Rights Watch published in September.
More than 200 miles away from the center of the insurgency, south Sinai is a placid world of elite hotels and low-slung beach camps, where tourists go to enjoy world-class diving and relax against a backdrop of jagged mountains plunging into shimmering blue water. The question, for some, is whether that will change.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps has in recent weeks launched increased cyber attacks on Obama administration officials, hacking into their email and social media accounts. U.S. officials believe that the hacks are related to the recent arrest of an Iranian-American businessman in Tehran.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, has routinely conducted cyberwarfare against American government agencies for years. But the U.S. officials said there has been a surge in such attacks coinciding with the arrest last month of Siamak Namazi, an energy industry executive and business consultant who has pushed for stronger U.S.-Iranian economic and diplomatic ties. Obama administration personnel are among a larger group of people who have had their computer systems hacked in recent weeks, including journalists and academics, the officials said. Those attacked in the administration included officials working at the State Department’s Office of Iranian Affairs and its Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.
An Obama administration official said that the U.S. continues to probe a possible connection to the arrest of Namazi.
“U.S. officials were among many who were targeted by recent cyberattacks” the official stated. “U.S. officials believe some of the more recent attacks may be linked to reports of detained dual citizens and others.”
Officials said that the increased cyber attacks have been particularly waged on administration officials working on Iran policy.
Namazi was reportedly arrested last month during a stay in Tehran to visit his family. According to individuals close to the businessman, intelligence officers with the Revolutionary Guards seized his computer after searching his family’s home. Namazi is the fifth U.S. citizen currently in prison in Iran.
News of the increased cyber attacks comes months after Iran agreed on a nuclear deal with the U.S. and other world powers that the Obama administration hoped would lead to more cooperation between the two countries. Namazi is himself a large supporter of the nuclear agreement.
However, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei banned further agreements between Iran and the U.S. after the nuclear deal.
According to U.S. officials, Iran has amassed a group of hackers trained by Russia focusing on various targets, including banks on Wall Street and oil companies in Saudi Arabia.

The Pentagon announced last week it is developing a new strategic bomber that will carry both nuclear and conventional weapons, as both China and Russia are engaged in similar stealth bomber programs. The U.S. bomber, currently named Long Range Strike Bomber, or LRS-B, eventually will be called the B-3 when the first aircraft are deployed in the mid-2020s.
The high-priced bomber is needed to replace aging B-52 and B-1 bombers and augment the small fleet of B-2s.
Northrop Grumman, which builds the stealth drone known as the RQ-180, won an initial $21.4 billion contract for 21 of the aircraft, each of which are expected to cost over $500 million. A hundred bombers eventually will be built.

An Iranian military leader is demanding that the United States pay Tehran reparations for the deaths of more than 250,000 Iranians at the hands of U.S. affiliates, according to regional reports.
Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a brigadier general in Iran’s volunteer Basij Force, said on Thursday that the Obama administration “should pay ransom” for its supposed role in killing Iranians during the 1979 Islamic Revolution that brought hardline extremists into power.
The demand for a ransom comes just a day after Iranians across the country took to the streets to rally against America and Israel. They burned U.S. flags and chanted, “Death to America.”
It was disclosed on Wednesday that Iran has been found to be directly responsible for the deaths of nearly 200 U.S. troops in Iraq and the wounding of nearly 1,000 others. The Obama administration has been hesitant to prosecute Iran under U.S. terrorism laws for these killings.
Naqdi said Iran has “irrefutable” evidence that America is responsible for the deaths of more than 250,000 Iranians.
“In the days when the Islamic Revolution was underway and after that and during the holy defense (the Iraqi-imposed war against Iran 1980-1988), over 250,000 Iranians were massacred directly by the U.S. or by its proxies at Washington’s order, and these US crimes can be proved based on undeniable and irrefutable proofs and documents,” the military figure was quoted as saying by Iran’s state-controlled Fars News Agency.
Because of this, Iran “should receive compensation money from the U.S. for the death of their children and beloved ones at the hands of the merciless Washington,” the report stated.
The report goes on to claim that Iranian officials have evidence that the United States worked with former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein, providing him weapons during his war against Iran.
