Tajikistan: Mujahideen fighting with paratroopers of Russian terrorists in eastern Tajikistan
According to media reports, fierce battles between Mujahideen and the puppet army of Tajikistan, backed by units of the FSB gangs, who have been sent from Russia, are taking place in Romitsky Valley in eastern Tajikistan.
Paratroopers, whom local residents identified as Russian servicemen, landed in Garma district. Russians, however, refute this information, claiming their troops are not engaged in the combats.
Earlier, the FSB chieftain Bortnikov said in Moscow that Medvedev ordered him to send his terrorist troops to Tajikistan, supposedly to “capture escaped prisoners”, which is no Russian problem. Why Russians chase foreign political prisoners in a foreign country, the criminal Bortnikov didn’t say.

Israel: 3 Israeli raids on Gaza Strip, 2 killed and 3 injured
Two Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air raids in the Gaza Strip, medics and security sources say. Another person has been critically injured.
The Israeli army launched three raids in the south of Gaza on Saturday after Palestinian fighters fired a rocket over the border.
The flare-up of violence on the Israel-Gaza border came just two days after the relaunch of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in the US.
Israeli aircraft reportedly struck targets including smuggling tunnels running under the border with Egypt at Rafah.
The two Palestinians were killed when one of the tunnels collapsed. Three others were wounded.
A raid also struck a former base of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
Spain: Armed basque separatist group Eta declared ceasefire
Armed Basque separatist group Eta says it will not “carry out armed actions” in its campaign for independence.
In a video obtained exclusively by the BBC, the group said it took the decision several months ago “to put in motion a democratic process”.
The Spanish government has not responded. In the past it has said it will only negotiate with Eta if it renounces violence and disarms.
Eta’s violent campaign has led to more than 820 deaths over the past 40 years.
It has called two ceasefires in the past, but abandoned them both.
Under pressure
It is unclear whether Eta is declaring a permanent or temporary ceasefire.
Dagestan: 2 attacks, whose one was suicide attack on military base in Buinaksk town, caused 5 killed and more than 30 injured
Five people were killed and over 30 injured in Sunday’s attack on a military unit in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, a law enforcement source reported.
A Zhiguli car packed with explosives and driven by a suicide bomber detonated near the town of Buinaksk after ramming the gates of the military unit, making part of the 136th motorized rifle brigade, early on Sunday. The unit’s guard blocked the car, preventing a larger death toll.
Reports of the number of injured by different sources varied from 33 to 39. Many of those injured were in serious condition.
The Defense Ministry said three people were killed.
A law enforcement source said the power of the explosive device was equivalent to up to 100 kg of TNT.
A second explosion rocked the town as investigators were heading to the site. The second bomb exploded on the way of a police car after the car passed the place where the bomb was planted, so no one was killed or injured.
