Tehran, Iranmdash; A general of Iran s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC has been killed while on a mission dunks in Syria, Iranian state media reported on Tuesday. General Abolfazl Alijani, a member of the IRGC s ground forces who was on a mission in Syria as a military adviser, was martyred on Sunday, the state broadcaster said on its website. It described Alijani as a defender of the sanctuary, a term used for those who work on behalf of Iran in Syria or Iraq, without providing more details of the attack in which he was killed. Iran says it has deployed its forces in Syria at the invitation of Damascus and only as advisers.

PARIS - The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS has trained at least 400 fighters to target Europe adidas originals donna in deadly waves of attacks, deploying interlocking terror cells like the ones that struck Brussels and Paris with orders to choose the time, place and method for maximum carnage, The Associated Press has learned.The network of agile and semiautonomous cells shows the reach of the extremist group in Europe even as it loses ground in Syria and Iraq. The officials, including European and Iraqi intelligence officials and a French lawmaker who follows the jihadi networks, described camps in Syria, Iraq and possibly the former Soviet bloc where attackers are trained to attack the West. Before being killed in a police raid, the ringleader of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks claimed to have entered Europe in a mul af1 tinational group of 90 fighters, who scattered more or less everywhere.

Russian forces are raising true hell in Ukraine s eastern industrial heartland, despite assessments they were taking an operational pause, a regional governor said Saturday, while another Ukrainian official urged people in Russian-occupied southern areas to evacuate adidas originals quickly by all possible means before a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Deadly Russian shelling was reported in Ukraine s east and south. The governor of the eastern Luhansk region, Serhyi Haidai, said Russia launched more than 20 artillery, mortar and rocket strikes on the region overnight and its forces were pressing toward the border with the Donetsk region. We are trying to contain the Russians armed formations along the entire front line, Haidai wrote on Telegram. Last week, Russia captured the last major stronghold o adidas originals f Ukrainian resistance in Luhansk, the city of Lysychansk. Analysts predicted Moscow s troops likely would take some time to rearm and regroup. But so far there has been no operational pause announced by the enemy. He is still attacking and shelling our lands with the same intensity as before, Haidai said. He later said the Russian bombardment of Luhansk was suspended because Ukrainian forces asics had destroyed ammunition depots and barracks used by the Russians.
