    Latest claim by in shows more weakness than strength: -Y sniper wounded 1 member in al-Humaydah -Over half of ISIS-Y claims in June/July are sniper ops -All ISIS-Y ops for past 5 months have targeted -No op has targeted Houthis since mid-Feb

    Must be difficult editing a news bulletin on the run... manages to miscount its ops last week as 3 instead of 2, repeats the same claim word-for-word, & adds up its victims to 4 instead of 3 (al-Naba', no.191, p.9)

    P.S. Had I realised the link would come up with that mugshot (rather than the usual austere Foreign Office crest & architecture), I wouldn't have posted it. There's nothing to smile about in the tragedy.

    UN Security Council meeting yday mostly comprised same old calls. Given deteriorating situation (2 steps forward, 3 back) UK suggestion stood out: Need for further private session to find solution + for states to wield influence, not just rely on UN

    New video exposes cruelty in : "Prisons of the Kharijites 3". Horrendous even for ISIS. Recruit wanted to leave to treat to gunshot wound. So ISIS locked him up for months in an iron chest 1m high x 1.5m long. Boiling by day, freezing by night. Seems credible

    Grim briefing to UN Security Council today -Conditions worsening -UN plan only 34% funded -Programs suspended: 7000 more kids risk immediate death; on rise -Both sides (esp Houthis) impeding aid -Over 30 active front lines, including in despite ceasefire

    Important points in 's new report: -Massive diplomatic focus on saving 's Agreement is impeding a move to broader talks -Portraying the Houthis only as 's proxy is simplistic & risks triggering wider regional war

    Amazing what you can achieve in a 4-minute meeting... Let's hope the time spent isn't proportional to the ceasefire's success

    skirmishes with in haven't totally petered out. Most ops are by sniper now, but ISIS-Y claims clashes yday in Upper Dhi Kalib with automatic weapons killed 1 & injured 1 Btw wording is back to normal: "caliphate soldiers" (vs Monday's "IS fighters")

    Recent ops in are remarkably paltry. Possible interpretations: -Lying low or regrouping in new location -Deals made with security forces -Focus on organized crime -Comms down -Dead In July to date -Y injured 1 AQAP by sniper killed 1 Houthi on motorbike
