1. Afghan Pedophiles Get Free Pass From U.S. Military, Report Says

On 5,753 occasions from 2010 to 2016, the United States military reported accusations of “gross human rights abuses” by the Afghan military, including many examples of child sexual abuse. If true, American law required military aid to be cut off to the offending unit. Not once did that happen. That was among the findings in an investigation into child sexual abuse by the Afghan security forces and the supposed indifference of the American military to the problem, according to a report released on Monday by the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction, known as Sigar. The report, commissioned under the Obama administration, was considered so explosive that it was originally marked “Secret/ No Foreign,” with the recommendation that it remain classified until June 9, 2042. The report was finished in June 2017, but it appears to have included data only through 2016, before the Trump administration took office.

3. Nine in Ten “Underage” Moroccans in Sweden Caught Lying About Their Age

A new cooperation agreement between Sweden and Morocco to share their fingerprint databases has revealed that 90 per cent of “underage” Moroccan asylum seekers are really adults. Per Löwenberg, Group Head of the Swedish National Border Policy Division, commented on the new agreement, saying: “We have been given permission to work very well with Moroccan authorities, and have a working routine that we are very pleased with,” Sveriges Radio reports. Moroccan migrants who come to Sweden as asylum seekers are often rejected for asylum status and many end up living homeless or getting involved in organised crime. The new system will not only be able to identify those who are lying about their age but also help with the deportation of migrants without travel documents.

5. Christian Kurds Bombed by Turkey: “Many Lives are in Mortal Danger... Please Help Us”

Christian churches were among the Kurds begging for international assistance to stop Turkey's assault on a northern Syrian city to clear it of Kurdish forces that have been fighting ISIS. Turkish forces began bombing the city of Afrin from the air on Saturday and sent in ground troops on Sunday. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Sunday that “Operation Olive Branch” against the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) “will be resolved” and “there will be no step back” as he claims the Kurds are terrorists. “We have discussed it with the Russians and we have an agreement with them,” Erdoğan said in Ankara. “The U.S. is urging that the operation should not last too long and should be conducted within a certain time frame. I ask the U.S.: Does your operation in Afghanistan, which you launched more than 10 years ago, have a certain time frame? When will it be completed? You are also still in Iraq, aren’t you? Do these kind of operations have a certain time frame?” he added. In a joint statement Saturday, the Kurdish Churches in Afrin and Kobane confirmed “we are under attack by Turkey.”





6. Facebook let a terror suspect, 31, “post ISIS videos glorifying executions and violence just because he repeatedly asked the site to reactivate his page”, court hears

A terror suspect was allowed to post ISIS videos on Facebook after repeatedly persuading the website to re-enable his account, a court has heard. Abdulrahman Alcharbati, 31, is accused of posting several propaganda videos, including those of executions and children being brainwashed to fight. One clip encouraged attacks against Westerners and urged jihadists “wack them with a rock, cut his throat with a knife or crush him with a car”. Newcastle Crown Court heard that the posts were taken down by Facebook administrators for breaching user guidelines. However they were regularly reinstated after Alcharbati “persuaded Facebook to re-enable his account and ­carried on posting the same material”.

POLICE forces across Europe have been put on alert amid fears a truck, believed to be carrying around 34,000 litres of bomb-making chemicals, has been stolen. Reports claimed Interpol, the world's largest police organisation, raised the alarm following the theft of a lorry in the city of Zedelgem, Belgium.
