ISIS attacks a ceremony
in Afghanistan
A ceremony in Dasht-e-Barchi , Kabul for “the 1995 slaying
of Abdul Ali Mazari, the leader of Afghanistan's ethnic Hazaras” was attacked
by ISIS, the Islamic State group. ISIS is at war against the Afghani Shiites,
who were the majority of the attendants of the ceremony. The attack killed 32
people, injuring 81 people.[19]
Ceasefire in Syrian
remains, but an armed minority group attacked the Syrian Army
The parties of the Syrian War cease-fire have been faithful,
but jihadist insurgents of the Turkistan Islamic Party attacked the Syrian Army
in the Jabal al-Zawiya region in the south of Idlib province. The attack
resulted in 15 killed.[20]
Tunisia endures an
unclaimed terrorist attack.
A police patrol of the US Embassy in Tunisia approached the
two terrorists before they exploded themselves. One of the police officers
died, and the four others of the patrol were injured. No entity claimed the
terrorist attack.[21]
Turkey rescue
refugees after Greek coastguard incident
Three dinghies, inflated water vessels, carrying 120 refugees
from Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and various African countries, sought shelter in the Greek island of Lesbos. The dinghies were pulled by a motor boat, and the Greek
coastguard stopped their voyage by disconnecting the inflated water vessels
from the motor boat. They were left to be rescued by Turkey’s coastguard. The Island
of Lesbos is only 16 miles from the Turkish coast. [22]
Mexico State-owned Oil
Company builds on protected forest land
Pemex, a state-owned company of Mexico, invests 8 billion
dollars to build an oil refinery on protected mangrove tree land. The
government received an order by the ASEA, an industry regulator, to cease the
deforestation, and the contractor, clearing the forest, was fined 700,000
dollars mid last year, yet the construction continues today.[23]
