How the hell do they kidnap 300 workers from a Cement Factory east of Damascus? Anyone in the Syrian Army awake over there?

BRUSSELS Mohamed Abrini, wanted over November's Islamic State attacks in Paris, has been arrested in Brussels, Belgium's public broadcasters said on Friday, adding that he was probably involved in last month's Brussels bombings.

Interesting results of the Belgian police.

It won't bring back those lost though. Hopefully, it will give the families some closure.

They needed that, to maintain a semblence of credibility after being compared unfavourably to the French police over recent times in relation to the attacks.

I'm surprised this hasn't been raised here. It is all over the UK press...

ISIS 'has been secretly working WITH Assad's regime in Syria' leaked files claim.

ISIS has been working WITH the Syrian regime it is supposed to be fighting, according to leaked Islamic State documents.

The two sides have struck deals in a number of areas as the Middle Eastern war has continued, Sky News reports.

That's according to tens of thousands of secret files and documents leaked by defectors from ISIS.

They claim that, in just one example, the ancient city of Palmyra was handed back to government forces in March as part of a series of cooperation agreements going back years.

Other alleged collusion include a deal between IS and Syria to trade oil for fertiliser and arrangements to evacuate some areas before the Syrian army attacked.

I guess people are just really tired. One could post all kinds of stuff about this every day, just like other hot topics like the gun control thread etc. but what for...

Jim, respectfully, could you please edit your signature?
While the visible space it takes is fine, I SO often click beside it to navigate the forum and... land on the GW page. I guess this was unintentional, but something like this is considered click-bait/click-trap usually.

I don't see why you would not?

It's not meant to be click bait, just the hyperlink spreads past the image on both sides. I don't think there is any way to fix that.

That's fine then, more of a luxury issue anyways - just really annoying in my opinion. It just happened again actually.

"ISIS has been working WITH the Syrian regime it is supposed to be fighting, according to leaked Islamic State documents."

The war on terrorism must be over as appears to be two governing bodies working together for freedom and democracy. This belongs in the all purpose politics thread.

Let the war on bad hyperlinks begin!

I'll begin with this.

There is, by using [url] and [img] tags.

For example, the Winter War portion of my sig is:

When centered, the link still only affects the image, instead of the whole width of the signature:
