FULL TEXT:The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) called on insurgents in
Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Monday[22 Sept.] to press ahead with attacks
against Egyptian security forces and continue beheadings, an announcement
likely to deepen concerns over ties between the militant groups.

"Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their
homes. Cut off their heads. Do not let them feel secure," ISIS spokesman Abu
Muhammad al-Adnani said in a statement released online.

Adnani also called on supporters to kill citizens of countries taking part
in the U.S.-led anti-militant coalition by any available means.

"If you can kill a disbelieving American or European -- especially the
spiteful and filthy French -- or an Australian, or a Canadian... including
the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the
Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him," he said in a message
released in multiple languages.

The United States and France are carrying out air strikes against IS targets
across Iraq and are seeking to build an international coalition against a
group increasingly perceived as a global threat.

Ajnad Misr
Also on Monday, an Egyptian militant group claimed responsibility for
Sunday's bomb blast in a busy downtown Cairo street near the Foreign
Ministry that killed two senior police officers and wounded several other
policemen.

Ajnad Misr, or Soldiers of Egypt, which claimed previous attacks on police,
said in a statement posted late Sunday on its Twitter account and on a
militant website.

The group said it used an explosive device on "officers of the criminal
apparatus" as part of its campaign against security forces.

It said the attacks will not stop until "the ruling tyrants fall and God's
Shariah is established."

to Fight IS Jihadists”, Agence France Presse

QUOTE:”Turkey’s PKK Kurdish rebel group on Monday[22 Sept.] called on Fellow
Kurds to cross into Syria and combat Islamic State jihadists:

Turkey's PKK Kurdish rebel group on Monday[22 Sept.] called on fellow Kurds
to cross into Syria and combat Islamic State jihadists besieging a town near
the border, the pro-Kurdish agency Firat reported.

The rebel group in Turkey called for "mobilization" and said: "The day of
glory and honor has arrived." "We call on our entire people, as well as our
friends, to step up the resistance," the PKK statement said.

Meanwhile, a PKK leader, Dursun Kalkan, appealed for "all Kurds to unite
their forces," according to the Firat agency. He accused the Turkish
government of "collaboration" with the Islamic State radicals.

Some 100,000 Syrian Kurds have crossed the border into Turkey over the past
few days, fleeing an advance by Islamic State jihadists , the U.N. said
Monday[22 Sept.].

The Turkish government "confirmed the figure" of 100,000, said Melissa
Fleming, the spokeswoman for the U.N. refugee agency, the UNHCR.

The U.N. body on Saturday[20 Sept.] said that as many as hundreds of
thousands of refugees might flee the fighting.

Syrian Kurds were leaving the area around Ain al-Arab, or Kobane, as the
town is known in Kurdish, which is under attack by IS forces.

Until now, Kobane, the third biggest Kurdish population center in Syria, had
been relatively safe and had taken in 200,000 people displaced from
elsewhere in Syria.

+++SOURCE: Jordan Times 22Sept.’14:”Several suspects detained for ‘planning
IS operations’ in Jordan”
SUBJECT: Jordan alert to IS danger

QUOTE:”detainees confessed….. they were entrusted with carrying out terrorst
operations in Jordan”

FULL TEXT:AMMAN — Security authorities recently arrested several takfirists
associated with the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, the Jordan News
Agency, Petra, reported on Sunday[21 Sept,].

The detainees confessed to having connections with the group’s commanders in
Syria, and said they were entrusted with carrying out terrorist operations
in Jordan targeting several vital locations, and spreading panic and chaos
in the Kingdom.

The planned operations were meant to pave the way for future schemes that
the IS group intends to carry out in Jordan, Petra said.

A security source said the house of one of the group's members, located in a
town in the northern region, exploded while the suspect was making
explosives.

The Public Security Department declined to provide further details to The
Jordan Times.

Eleven IS members have been referred to court so far and investigations are
still under way into their cases, according to Petra.

Salafist sources aligned with IS claim that four Jordanians were arrested
over the past week as part of a security crackdown.

Last week, eight Jordanians were charged with joining, promoting and
recruiting for the IS group, and will be tried at the State Security Court
(SSC). The indictment sheet said the suspects were recruiting individuals to
join IS and using the Internet to promote its radical ideologies.

Also last week, the SSC sentenced a Jordanian to five years in prison with
hard labour for fighting alongside armed groups in Syria.

The defendant went to Syria where he joined armed groups, the last of which
was IS, with which he reportedly spent 10 months.

He was arrested when he returned to Jordan.
