More militant attacks likely. Avoid Highways 1 and 2 north of Baghdad. Updated Information Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants continue to make territorial gains, seizing the town of Dhuluiya (map), 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad June 12. The group is also in control of Suleiman Bek, 160 km (100 miles) north of the Iraqi capital. ISIS still controls Tikrit, capital of Salah al-Din Province, but there are reports that Iraqi forces have launched air strikes to dislodge militants. In Samarra, Iraqi forces are reportedly in control of much of the city, but there are reports of sporadic clashes. In Baiji, which hosts large oil refineries, government forces are reportedly in control, but there are unconfirmed reports that ISIS militants have established positions outside the city. In Kirkuk, Kurdish Peshmerga forces are currently in control of key military installations in the city and patrolling the streets after Iraqi military units reportedly abandoned their posts. Meanwhile on the political front, the Iraqi parliament failed to reach a quorum and was unable to hold a vote to grant Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki emergency powers to impose curfews and restrict public movement. ISIS continues to hold all of Mosul, the capital of Ninawa Province, which it seized on June 10. By many accounts, some 500,000 people fled Mosul and the surrounding areas during the ISIS assault, many of whom have traveled into the regions controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Several new refugee camps are being set up there. Additional violence related to ISIS activity and government offensives to counter the group is highly likely in the coming days. Clashes are not expected in the Kurdistan Region; however, expect increased security in KRG-controlled areas, including the cities of Arbil and Sulaymaniyah. Security may be compromised south of Baghdad as security forces and volunteers head north to confront ISIS. Background and Analysis Parliament's inability to gather enough lawmakers to even hold a session underscores the disunity of the political landscape in the midst of a major ISIS offensive. It is unclear when parliament may try to reconvene to provide al-Maliki with emergency powers. Faced with numerous battleground defeats and reports of troop desertions, Iraqi security forces are calling for volunteers; Shia' militias are the most likely to respond to the call, increasing the sectarian nature of the conflict. ISIS still continues to style itself as an Islamic "state" and is attempting to control an area spanning the Syria-Iraq border, allowing it access to weapons and fighters from the Syrian conflict. It has held the Syrian city of Raqqa since 2013 and has established government institutions there. It has also maintained strongholds in parts of Fallujah and Ramadi in Anbar Province, Iraq, where the border with Syria is extremely porous. On June 10, in addition to attacking Mosul, ISIS escalated its offensive in Syria's Deir ez-Zour Governorate, located between Raqqa, Syria, and Iraq's Ninawa Province, moving it closer toward a contiguous area of control. ISIS control of such a broad region would almost certainly make Iraqi government efforts to counter the group substantially more difficult. Advice Avoid the area around Mosul, Tikrit, Samarra, Kirkuk, and Baiji. Consider avoiding Highway 1 from Baghdad to Mosul and Highway 2 from Kirkuk to Baghdad. If operating in the southern part of the Kurdistan Region, expect traffic disruptions as refugees arrive. Maintain a low profile; limit exposure to government buildings, security installations, and crowded public areas that could be potential bombing targets. Maintain contact with your diplomatic mission. For additional information on security conditions in the country, please see iJET's alert Security Situation - Iraq. 06/13/2014 - UPDATE 5: Kurds confront ISIS, IA launches airstrikes June 12. More militant attacks likely. Avoid Highways 1 and 2 north of Baghdad. Updated Information As of early June 13, rumors of an attack on Baghdad International Airport (BGW) were circulating. iJET will provide updated information if https://worldcue.ijet.com/tic/tripbrief/AtAGlanceTripBrief.action 3/21 6/13/2014 iJET : Trip Brief the attack is confirmed. Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) militants continued to make territorial gains, seizing the town of Dhuluiya, 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad (map), and temporarily taking the town of Jalula in Diyala Province June 12. Kurdish Peshmerga forces clashed with ISIS to try to dislodge them from Jalula and ISIS has reengaged the Peshmerga in Kirkuk. The Kurdish Minister of Peshmerga survived a bombing targeting his convoy in that city. The Iraqi Air Force launched airstrikes in Tikrit and Mosul in an effort to dislodge insurgents from those cities. Additional aerial attacks on ISIS positions are likely. Unconfirmed but widely circulated reports have stated that Iran has deployed three battalions of elite Quds Forces troops to help Iraqi forces retake Tikrit and to protect Baghdad and the Shia' holy cities of Karbala and Najaf. ISIS is also in control of Suleiman Bek, 160 km (100 miles) north of the Iraqi capital. Iraqi forces are reportedly in control of much of Samarra, but clashes are continuing. Government forces are reportedly in control of the city of Baiji and its refinery - the largest in Iraq; however, unconfirmed information indicates that ISIS militants have established positions outside the city in Salah ad Din Province. Meanwhile, on the political front, the Iraqi parliament failed to reach a quorum and was unable to hold a vote to grant Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki emergency powers. Maliki's party announced late June 12 that he would try to gain those powers through the judiciary. ISIS continues to hold all of Mosul, the capital of Ninawa Province, which it seized on June 10. Around 500,000 people are reported to have fled Mosul and the surrounding areas during the ISIS assault, many of whom have moved into areas controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Ongoing clashes between ISIS and the Peshmerga increase the probability of ISIS carrying out bombings in the Kurdistan Region (KR); however, ISIS is unlikely to risk directly engaging the Peshmerga on their home territory. Violence is possible on the Arab side of the border near the KR. Expect increased security in KRG-controlled areas, including the cities of Arbil and Sulaymaniyah. Additional violence related to ISIS activity and government offensives to counter the group is highly likely in the coming days. Security may be compromised south of Baghdad as security forces and volunteers head north to confront ISIS. Background and Analysis Parliament's inability to gather enough lawmakers to even hold a session underscores the disunity of the political landscape in the midst of a major ISIS offensive. It is unclear when parliament may try to reconvene to provide al-Maliki with emergency powers. Faced with numerous battleground defeats and reports of troop desertions, Iraqi security forces are calling for volunteers; Shia' militias are the most likely to respond, increasing the sectarian nature of the conflict.

    1 month of October in the city of Samarra by themselves. They 2 had the most contacts of any platoon in the entire battalion 3 and they suffered no casualties. There is no other platoon in 4 the battalion that can say that. He set up the first police 5 station in Balad and trained and monitored the Iraqis. 6 7 Balad was the geopolitical center of that region. It was 8 very unstable at the time and one of the hottest spots in Iraq. 9 Within a month we owned the city and built great relationships. 10 Subsequently, we spent a lot of money improving the 11 infrastructure. The periphery was mostly Sunni. Trying to 12 bring them into the government was difficult, but once we 13 controlled Balad and the city outlines, we controlled the 14 entire region. 15 16 Lieutenant Saville's platoon were the key to the success for 17 Alpha Company. He was put in for two bronze stars. His 18 rehabilitative potential is very high. He's very mature. He's 19 a faith-filled man, outstanding leader, outstanding officer and 20 he's earned the faith of his men. He's combat tested and he's 21 a man of integrity. I would take him anywhere, anytime.

Gulf Air, official carrier of the Bahrain International Air Show, is of course also the official carrier of the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix – and main corporate sponsor as the 4th race of the 2012 season is named ‘The Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix’, taking place between 20th and 22nd April this year.

  • Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S
    Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov 95-1013 Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary A 2011 uprising by a mostly Shia opposition to the Sunni-minority-led regime of Bahrain’s Al Khalifa ruling family has subsided, but punishments of oppositionists and periodic demonstrations continue. The uprising did not achieve its goal of establishing a constitutional monarchy, but the unrest compelled the ruling family to undertake some modest reforms. Elections for the lower house of a legislative body, last held in 2018, were marred by the banning of opposition political societies and allegations of gerrymandering. The mainstream opposition uses peaceful forms of dissent, but small factions, reportedly backed by Iran, have conducted some attacks on security officials. The government’s repression presents a policy dilemma for the United States because Bahrain is a longtime ally that is pivotal to maintaining Persian Gulf security. The country has hosted a U.S. naval command headquarters for the Gulf region since 1948; the United States and Bahrain have had a formal Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) since 1991; and Bahrain is designated by the United States as a “major non-NATO ally.” There are nearly 5,000 U.S. forces, mostly Navy, in Bahrain, which relies on U.S.-made arms. Because of the government’s use of force against protesters, both the Obama and Trump Administrations curtailed U.S. assistance to Bahrain’s internal security organizations. The Trump Administration has prioritized countering Iran and addressing other regional security issues, and to that end has lifted the previous Administration’s conditionality on major arms sales to Bahrain’s military and has corroborated Bahrain leadership assertions that Iran is providing material support to violent opposition factions in Bahrain.
