These are in color coded cells in the table below. Uranus activates one of these pairs twice in 2017. In addition, there is a double activation of this eclipse pair by Mars and Uranus on the median Mars date of 1 Dec.

This study deals with the factors affecting the distribution of heavy metals in the soil (pH, organic matter (O.M), quality and the ratio of the clay minerals and iron ratio). The average of the ratio of pH for four selected soil samples (more and less four soil samples in the concentrations of heavy metals) (9.1) that’s mean that soil of this area is basic and affecting the mobility of the heavy metals and make them precipitate, while the average of the (O.M) for the same samples was (0.76 %), mineralogical analysis for the soil samples was conducted to know the mineralogy of the soil and the quality of the clay minerals in the selected soil samples and types of clay minerals were (Palygorskite, Kaolinite, Montmorillonite) and the average of clay minerals was (17.4 %), the ratio of the iron in the same soil samples was (21532 ppm) this value less than its average in the international soils.

Part of this work is research into the phenomenon of extremism derived particularly from the abuse of Islam. This publication is the most comprehensive analysis of such extremism to date and utilises data on terrorism in a new way to show: 1. Violent extremism connected with the perversion of Islam today is global, affecting over 60 countries. 2. Now more than 120 different groups worldwide are actively engaged in this violence. 3. These groups are united by an ideology that shares certain traits and beliefs. 4. The ideology and the violence associated with it have been growing over a period of decades stretching back to the 1980s or further, closely correlated with the development of the Muslim Brotherhood into a global movement, the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and—in the same year—the storming by extremist insurgents of Islam’s holy city of Mecca.

  • Extremism & Counter-Extremism Overview Radicalization And
    The Philippines: Extremism & Counter-Extremism On January 27, 2019, two bombs detonated during Sunday mass at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral on Jolo island in the southern Philippines province of Sulu. The first explosion occurred inside the cathedral, which was followed by a second blast just outside as soldiers rushed to the scene. At least 23 people were killed and more than 100 others were wounded. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. In July, Indonesian police revealed the attack was carried out by a married Indonesian couple who attempted to travel to ISIS territory in 2016. The couple was stopped in Turkey and deported back to Indonesia in January 2017. It is the first known suicide bombing carried out by Indonesian deportees. (Sources: CBS News [1], CNN Philippines [2], BBC News [3], Guardian [4], New Yok Times [5]) On June 28, 2019, two suicide attackers bombed a temporary camp of the Philippine army’s counterterrorism unit in Sulu. The attack killed five soldiers and wounded several others. ISIS promptly claimed responsibility attack, though a police official maintained that the attack was locally-planned and carried out by Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) militants. In July 2019, DNA tests confirmed the identity of one of the attackers as Sulu-born 23-year-old Norman Lasuca, making him the first known Filipino to carry out a suicide bombing. (Sources: Straits Times [6], Associated Press [7]) Overview Both Communist nationalist rebels and Islamic separatist insurgencies have wreaked havoc on the Philippines, especially on the southern island of Mindanao. As a result, several thousands of Filipinos have been murdered in bombings, assassinations, kidnapping attempts, and executions.

  • Terrorism in the Indo-Pacific: the Year Gone by and the Road Ahead
    FEATURE Terrorism in the Indo-Pacific * The Year Gone By and the Road Ahead DR. SAM MULLINS lobally, terrorism has been on the decline since peaking in 2014, the year that the Islamic State (ISIS) declared its “caliphate” in the Middle East. Nevertheless, terrorism levels are still approximately double what they Gwere a decade ago and around five times what they were in 2001.1 The Indo- Pacific region, which encompasses most of Asia, as well as North America, Aus- tralasia, Oceania, and parts of South America, consistently experiences some of the highest rates of terrorism in the world, and 2019 was no exception.2 This ar- ticle, though by no means an exhaustive account, provides a roughly chronological overview of significant terrorist activities in the Indo-Pacific during the past year, with a particular focus on South and Southeast Asia. This is followed by several important advances in counterterrorism (CT). The article concludes by consider- ing what these, and other developments, may portend for the future. An Evolving Threat: Significant Developments in 2019 Suicide Bombing in the Philippines The year began with a deadly, twin suicide bombing of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Jolo in the southern Philippines, in which 23 people lost their lives and scores more were injured. Executed by 35-year-old Rullie Rian Zeke and his 32-year- old wife, Ulfah Handayani Saleh, both from Indonesia, the attack was demonstrative of the enduring potency of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), which orchestrated it, as well as Jamaah Ansharut Daulah ( JAD), which the two perpetrators had been members of in Indonesia.3 It furthermore under- scored the continuing influence of ISIS (with which both ASG and JAD are aligned), the threat of foreign fighters, the heightened popularity of sectarian targets, and the importance of family ties between militants in the region.

    Trends in Terrorism in Southeast Asia Testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee Sub-Committee on the Asia-Pacific Dr. Zachary Abuza National War College 17 May 2017 DISCLAIMER The views expressed here are the author’s personal opinions, and do not reflect the views or policies of the US Department of Defense, the National Defense University, or the National War College. 1. Trends in Terrorism Southeast Asia is home to over a dozen armed Islamist groups that seek to overthrow their governments or secede. Most are small and very localized. At times they have tried to link up to transnational organizations. But most Southeast Asian groups tend to be very localized and with limited resources. They also tend to be highly fractious and fluid, with allegiances within groups and between them changing frequently. That said, they remain consistently lethal, despite concerted government efforts to disrupt them. In the mid-1990s, a network of radical Salafists, known as Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) pledged bai’at to Al Qaeda. But they did not engage in attacks against Western targets until 2002. Previously, they served as a back office for Al Qaeda and were largely engaged in sectarian conflicts in Indonesia, in which some 6,000 people were killed. After the October 2002 attack in Bali, JI was able to perpetrate one major attack a year, more or less through 2009. But that point the group was weakened by arrests and hobbled by factionalism, between those who wanted to double down on the Al Qaeda line, and those who saw it as counterproductive and espoused a return to sectarian bloodletting.

Four years ago, the International Coalition announced that it had eliminated ISIS’s military capabilities, expelled it from densely-populated cities and villages, hindered the influx of foreign combatants to the land of battles, and then hindered the reverse return, drained terrorism’s financial sources from fixed capital and movable assets, decoded ISIS’s administration and finance, eliminated the staff of the central chamber of finance and zakat and targeted the centres of ISIS’s military and chemical development and manufacturing centres.
