Putin: MidEast terrorists recruit fighters from ex-Soviet states, seek to expand into other regions
The extremists from the Middle East “have been recruiting militants and continue doing so in many countries, unfortunately including Russia and CIS countries,” Vladimir Putin said, adding that Moscow launched its air operation in Syria as a preventive action against Islamic State extremists.
Putin insisted that Russia’s assistance to Syria fully complies with Moscow’s military doctrine and international law.
The military operation in Syria has proved that “Russia is ready to adequately and effectively respond to the terrorist threat and any other challenges,” the president said.
President Putin instructed the Federal Security Service (FSB) to expose contacts between militants residing in Russia with international terrorists and their sponsors.
“It is crucially important to bring to light the links of the Russian-based militants with the international terror groups and their patrons,” Putin told the high-ranking officers of the Russian armed forces.

Protesters in Sweden chant ‘slaughter the Jews’
(JTA) — Hundreds of protesters in the Swedish city of Malmo were filmed chanting in Arabic about slaughtering Jews and stabbing soldiers.
Pro-Palestinian groups organized a rally Monday in the city center against what they consider Israeli violence and to show solidarity with Palestinians amid deadly measures taken by Israeli authorities to stop the recent spate of attacks on Jews in Israel and the West Bank.
Isaac Bachman, Israel’s ambassador to Sweden, posted on his Facebook account a video taken at the rally showing hundreds chanting “’slaughter the Jews, stab soldiers.” In other slogans, the chanters encouraged “heroes to carry out attack after attack” and to “start a third intifada.”
“These are extremely troubling instances of a grotesque but nevertheless very real – and murderous – incitement which must be dealt with by the full force of the law,” Bachman wrote.

Congress members, Jewish groups rally against UNESCO resolution
Representatives call on US ambassador to UN body to quash initiative to claim Western Wall as Muslim holy site
WASHINGTON — Amid an angry outcry from Jewish organizations worldwide as well as from Israeli officials over a UNESCO resolution that would declare the Western Wall a Muslim holy site, two members of Congress called Monday evening on the US envoy to the UN body to quash the resolution.
Democratic Representatives Nita M. Lowey and Ted Deutch sent a letter Monday urging US ambassador to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Crystal Nix-Hines, to block the draft resolution that Jewish groups had castigated for asserting that the Western Wall is part of al-Aqsa Mosque.
Six Arab states on UNESCO’s Executive Board – Algeria, Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates are expected to introduce the resolution for a vote as early as Tuesday.

Biden said to announce imminently whether he’ll run
Senior Senate Democrat ‘not sure’ vice president can beat Hillary Clinton in Democratic primary race
US Vice President Joe Biden is expected to announce whether he will run for president in the next day or two, according to NBC News.
Biden has been considering a presidential run for several months, with rumors of his imminent decision intruding regularly in the Democratic primaries, which are currently dominated by front-runner Hillary Clinton and main challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“Biden’s public schedule gives little indication of his decision,” NBC notes. “He traveled from his home in Delaware to Washington Monday morning, where he will address a climate change summit this afternoon.”
But according to a source quoted by the network, Biden told International Association of Fire Fighters President Harold Schaitberger on Friday that he was considering running.
“Biden said he was strongly considering running and was trying to gauge the support of unions,” the network said, citing a source.
