It's 3am in the morning over there ... no time to be returning anything nautical that is.

Right before the POTUS state of the union speech in a couple of hours too

Not too sure if this is coincidental but Iran is being reported as stating the boats and crews will be repatriated tomorrow (Wednesday).

Maybe Trump phoned them up and asked them to get themselves stuck in Iranian waters so it could overshadow the State of the Union address.

I guess it's just routine matters, relations between the US and Iran are vastly improved over what they were under the Bush administration. On that note, I recall seeing somewhere on social media the other day the word that Iran had sent the last of its enhanced uranium off to Russia, so hopefully that means the end of the Iranian bomb program, but they'll still have the infrastructure in place to slap one together in a hurry if they need to.

Meanwhile it appears that Al'Qaeda in the Arabic Peninsula are filming a remake of the Italian Job:

Breaking news in Denmark

A 15-year-old girl from Sandby near Holbaek was Wednesday arrested and charged with possession of explosives, the testing of explosives and to encourage terrorist acts
The arrested is a ethnic Danish girl who have converted to Islam.

Its a sad story. It is not the first time I hear such story about a person who after have converted to another religion, mostly Islam, has turned into a terrorist.

Islam is peaceful. But there can be no peace until all have submitted to Islam.

Have a nice day.

Some all purpose terror happening in Jakarta.

Quote:
Attackers struck in the middle of the day Thursday, in the middle of a busy central Jakarta commercial hub -- killing at least two, wounding 19 and raising alarms about terrorism once more, this time in the world's most populous Muslim country.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rattle of shots and explosions from at least five attackers. But police believe that they were linked to ISIS, and the Islamic State-affiliated Aamaq News Agency reported people from that terror group were behind the bloodshed.

The Jakarta carnage, in an area frequented by foreigners, came 6,000 miles from and two days after ISIS boasted about a suicide bombing in the heart of Istanbul. That attack in Sultanahmet Square, between the popular Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque tourist attractions, killed 10 German visitors.

Daesh has attacked the Syrian city of Deir al-Zor, killing a large amount of civilians (executed 300 of them that is) and kidnapping dozens more, if not hundreds of them. They want to control the part of Syria that has the largest oil deposits. Mean while, with the help of Russian air strikes, Syrian troops continue to push to surround Aleppo.

Slaughter innocent civilians, man these are some real tough guys!

Yeah, I was listening on the World Service last night to the story of an Iraqi woman who is a refugee in Turkey who was captured by Daesh. The Yazedi village she lived in was captured with very little warning by Daesh forces, they were taken to a local school and said that anyone who wanted to convert to Islam had a day to do so, and then they seperated the men and women and the children, the men were lead away and killed, even those who decided to 'convert' since they don't consider that a Yazedi who has converted is worthy of anything except death, the children were taken away to be converted and then the women were divided into the elderly, the younger and the married. The elderly were killed and then the rest were given to various soldiers to either keep or to sell on. Apparently each woman is photographed and a telephone number is written underneath the picture, if you want the woman you ring up the soldier who is her keeper and negotiate a price. She tried to escape while with her Daesh keeper, but she was captured and gang-raped by him and his guards, eventually she was sold to another man and managed to escape when he went out to find some jewellery for her to wear since he was looking to sell her on, she ran through the streets of Mosul until she found a Muslim family who took her in and managed to arrange to get her out of Mosul and to friendly lines, she then fled and sought asylum in Germany.

Despicable behaviour by a group of creatures whose behaviour is lower than low, one can only hope that the bombs that we drop mortally wound Daesh soldiers and that they die in pain, or perhaps better, lose limbs and become useless to the cause and thus have to live the rest of their lives knowing that they are useless to their brothers and just a burden. That's if they're not just shot, I guess.

Determination, and not accepting compromise, are sufficient.
