Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters stormed a town in Iraq's western Anbar province on Saturday, killing at least 19 policemen and trapping others inside their headquarters, in the latest attack in the desert region where the armed group controls large amounts of territory, officials said. ISIL seized the town of Al-Wafa, about 20 miles west of Anbar's capital Ramadi, on Saturday after starting its assault early on Friday. The group now controls three major towns to the west of Ramadi, including Hit and Kubaisa.
The surprise Saturday attack also drew fresh attention to the Iraqi government's struggle to arm Sunni tribes in western Iraq who are fighting ISIL, a Sunni insurgency that has managed to earn the support of many minority Iraqi Sunnis. "Police forces have been fighting Islamic State fighters since Friday, but lack of ammunition forced it to retreat and losing the town. I'm frustrated because we were left alone without support," said Hussain Kassar, Al-Wafa's mayor. Police forces backed by few government-paid Sunni tribal fighters tried to prevent ISIL from crossing the sand barrier surrounding the town, but were overwhelmed when sleeper cells from inside open fired on them, the mayor and a police officer said.
Police forces and the pro-government Sunni fighters were forced to retreat to a nearby police-brigade headquarters bordering the town. "We are trapped inside the police 18th brigade. Islamic State managed to surround us today. If no government forces were sent to help us then we will be exterminated," the mayor, who was with the police forces that withdrew from Al-Wafa, said by telephone.
Elsewhere in western Anbar, ISIL fighters executed at least 21 Sunni tribal fighters on Friday after capturing them near the town of Al-Baghdadi on Wednesday, local officials and tribesmen said Saturday. The group has besieged Al-Baghdadi, also to the west of Ramadi, since October. The bodies had bullet wounds to the head and chest and were found dumped inside an orchard near Kubaisa. ISIL captured swathes of western and northern Iraq, including the north's biggest city, Mosul, in June. The group now holds territory from western Anbar and Nineveh provinces that extends across the border into Syria.

The men were beheaded in the countryside east of the city of Homs by the militant group's "Islamic Police", the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The Observatory, which monitors the conflict using sources on the ground, reported a similar killing on Tuesday, when ISIS beheaded a man in a town square in the north of the country.
Residents and activists say ISIS has beheaded and stoned to death many people in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq for actions they see as violating their reading of Islamic law, such as adultery, homosexuality, stealing and blasphemy. They have also killed rival fighters by similar methods off the battlefield and have set up patrols to police public behavior in their bid to establish a caliphate.
The Observatory also reported on Saturday that ISIS had stoned a man and a woman to death for adultery in Manbij town in northern Syria after Friday prayers. The group, which is the target of U.S.-led air strikes in both countries, has also killed a smaller number of foreign captives.
The Observatory said last month that ISIS had killed 1,432 Syrians off the battlefield since the end of June when it declared a caliphate in the territory under its control.

Six Afghans working for the Red Cross have been killed by suspected Islamic State (IS) group gunmen in the province of Jowzjan, officials say. The workers were shot in the Qush Tepa area, the provincial governor said. Two others are unaccounted for, feared abducted by IS, he told the BBC. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed the deaths but said it did not know who was to blame. The ICRC said it was putting its work in Afghanistan on temporary hold. "We need to understand more clearly what happened," ICRC Director of Operations Dominik Stillhart said. "But... this is one of the most critical humanitarian contexts and we will definitely do everything to continue our operations there."

IS has been in Afghanistan since 2015, claiming attacks in Kabul and the east. But there has been no immediate claim for the attack in Jowzjan. The ICRC has had an uninterrupted presence in Afghanistan for 30 years and the organisation said in a tweet that it was "shocked and devastated" by the news. President Peter Maurer said it was a deliberate attack on his staff which "we condemn in the strongest possible terms". The team which came under attack by "unknown armed men" comprised three drivers and five field officers, the statement said. Government officials said the staff were transporting supplies including livestock materials to areas affected by recent deadly snowstorms when their convoy was attacked.

Jowzjan governor Lutfullah Azizi confirmed to the BBC that all six employees who were killed were Afghan. The bodies of the six workers - many with close-range multiple gunshot wounds - were taken to the provincial capital Sheberghan and from there to Mazar-e-Sharif, officials say. A search has begun to find the two ICRC employees who have not been accounted for. Provincial police chief Rahmatullah Turkistani said IS fighters were known to be active in the area where the attack took place and the ICRC had been warned about their presence. Taliban militants have also targeted the Red Cross in the past - its office in Jalalabad was attacked in 2013.
IS announced it was expanding into Afghanistan in January 2015 and has secured footholds in parts of eastern Nangarhar province, on the border with Pakistan. But Afghan troops and the Taliban have prevented them from moving permanently beyond that, observers say. Since mid-2016 the group appears to have switched tactics, launching a series of deadly attacks against Shia Muslims and others in Kabul and bombing a mosque in the northern province of Balkh, neighbouring Jowzjan, in October. On Wednesday, IS said it had carried out an attack at the Supreme Court in Kabul a day earlier, killing at least 20 people.

The governor of Jowzjan province said the aid convoy was attacked by suspected Islamic State gunmen. The head of the ICRC called the incident the "worst attack against us" in 20 years, but the charity said it did not know who was responsible. A search operation was underway to find two charity workers who were still missing late on Wednesday night. "As we speak our operations are on hold indeed, because we need to understand what exactly happened before we can hopefully resume our operations," ICRC director of operations Dominik Stillhart told Reuters in Geneva. Afghanistan is the ICRC's fourth largest humanitarian program in the world, Stillhart said, and the attack follows a warning by the charity last month that mounting security issues made it perilous to deliver aid to large swathes of the country.
A massive snowstorm dumped as much as two meters (6.5 feet) of snow on areas of Afghanistan over the weekend, according to officials, killing more than 100 people. Lotfullah Azizi, the Jowzjan provincial governor, said the aid workers were carrying livestock supplies to areas badly affected by the storm. "Daesh is very active in that area," he said, using an alternative name for Islamic State, which has made limited inroads in Afghanistan but has carried out increasingly deadly attacks. The ICRC team included three drivers and five field officers. Jowzjan police chief Rahmatullah Turkistani said the workers' bodies had been taken to the provincial capital. "These staff members were simply doing their duty, selflessly trying to help and support the local community," ICRC president Peter Maurer said.
SHOOTINGS, KIDNAPPINGS
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said his group was not involved in the attack and promised that Taliban members would "put all their efforts into finding the perpetrators". Gunmen in northern Afghanistan kidnapped a Spanish ICRC employee in mid December, releasing him nearly a month later. That staff member had been traveling with three Afghan colleagues between Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz when gunmen stopped their vehicles. The local staff were immediately released.
In a summary of its work in Afghanistan last year, the ICRC said increasing security issues hampered the provision of aid to many parts of the country. "Despite it all, the ICRC has remained true to its commitment to the people of Afghanistan, as it has throughout the last 30 years of its continuous presence in the country," the statement said. Besides determining the operational impact of the attack, Stillhart said ICRC would pause its programs out of respect for the slain aid workers. "We also need and want to mark what is a horrible incident, which came as a huge shock for all our staff, first and foremost in Afghanistan but also to respect the families," he said.

The Sikh men were held captive for a handful of days then, Masih told Fountain Ink, they were forced to kneel shoulder to shoulder and shot multiple times at close range. Masih, who was shot in the thigh, was the lone survivor and managed to escape. Eventually, he made his way back to India, where until now the government's highest officials insisted there was no proof all the other prisoners were dead. "They were killed in front of my eyes," he said from his home in a northern Indian village on Tuesday, the same day India's foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj, told parliament that DNA analysis of remains found in a mass grave near the village of Badush prove that the men who were abducted in 2014 were killed, The Guardian said. "With full proof I can say these 39 are dead," Swaraj told reporters, adding that the missing workers had been murdered by ISIS, according to The Telegraph.

The AP said the bodies were found under a dirt mound after Iraqi authorities found evidence of the grave last summer using radar equipment. Once the bodies were exhumed, Indian authorities sent DNA samples from relatives of the missing workers. All but one have been identified. Among the artifacts discovered at the site were ID cards, non-Iraqi shoes and religious bracelets. In the days leading up to their disappearance, the AP reported many of the men made panicked phone calls to their relatives back in India, pleading for help to escape the ISIS-controlled region. As a result, as NPR reported, anxious families began swamping government hotlines. "A majority of the Indians kidnapped in Iraq hail from Punjab," Punjab's deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal told NPR. "We are really worried ... The federal government must take every necessary action to bring [them] back home," he said at the time.
But The Telegraph reported, the Indian government never received any ransom demands or other direct communication from the kidnappers. Swaraj, has been roundly criticized by members of the opposing party "for giving false hope to the nation." But she defended the decision to wait until this week to declare the men dead, insisting the government needed proof. "It would have been a sin had we handed over anybody's body claiming it to be those of our people, just for the sake of closing files," she said. The AP says dozens of mass graves like the one found outside of Badush have been discovered in territories previously held by ISIS. However, the Iraqi government says it doesn't possess the resources or trained personnel to examine all of them. The Indian government said the identified bodies will be flown home after formalities are completed in Iraq.

Fact: the number 666, the number of the beast, is the number of a man, not an imaginary phantom.Now you can secret the number of His name. Baal Jesus=666 in ASCll numerology used to secret numbers from names.
Fact: Ezekiel 28 states son of "perdition"(to fall to the pit) is a "CREATED IMAGE" of a man.
Jesus as an image of a man (as you yourself have stated) is written as this one claiming to be a god, falling by the hands of Rome(seas) to the pit: Acts 2:27, 1 Peter 3:19, Apostles Creed.
Fulfilling Ezekiel 28 account of Lucifer (son of perdition) the image of a man who would die by the hands of Rome, be called The anointed(Christ) Cherub(guardian=nazarene) and perfect-Ezekiel 28:14-15.
And ironically both Popes and Jesus fulfill Ezekiel's chapter 28 account of the fallen false prophet, because, as I stated many timesFact: Ezekiel 28 states son of "perdition"(to fall to the pit) is a "CREATED IMAGE" of a man.

The false image of Jesus that Rome gave the appearance of life to, in 325 c.e., causing it to speak blasphemous things performing miracles, claiming to be an edible God, deceiving the nations of the world, is a counterfeit Jesus, a false substitute Jesus that was and is yet to come, but is not - does not exist.
That in no way discredits the Jesus that actually did and does exist, neither does it conceal his teaching from those with the intelligence to see through the not so subtle deceptions of the Roman Church through ignorant misinterpretations of figurative language used by the authors of the gospels who were followers of Jesus...
The fact that you claim to see but can't discern the difference between a fake Jesus and the real one, a dedicated and righteous Jew whose inspired teachings ancient Romans buried in a gilded coffin behind a bloody sacrificial altar, discredits only you.
Enough already with your hysterical blathering.
Shouldn't you be trying to erase that number off your forehead?

there is the layers of prophecy in the repeated historical(= Popes claiming to be gods in Rome[the sea]) and the spiritual reflection (image of a perfect[sinless until the iniquities are revealed] prophet emulating these descriptions.
To sin is to say the created image is sinless (perfect Ezekiel 28:15) just as to lie is to say you never lie.
Just how dumb does the church think it's sheep really are? The gullible realize Mary isn't really immaculate, yet they buy that similar image given Baal's son, forgetting or ignoring the fact that it's the same liars who produced the admitted lie on Mary. Ezekiel warns of this by stating he will be deemed perfect until we see the iniquities in his image (that which was ignored or whitewashed by the "fools for christ" -That is the term the NT calls the initiates in this idol worship- "Fools".)
I didn't say they were dumb, the NT says they are foolish, as when someone creates a ruse they usually make fun of the people buying that sham.
Example: Joseph Smith the creator of Mormon church called his messenger Moroni-a snide way of calling the initiates Moronic men=Mormon.
When Rome created the forbidden one, they called him the forbidden "swine"
-IeSous(the swine) is the written name in Greek that today in English is Jesus.
At the end of the Roman joke the punchline admits to those fools for christ that their character is Baal's son the morning star(lucifer) in Rev 22:16. They call it being fooled, by the great deception, not being dumb. We are close to april fools day, not April dumb day.
