IN AFGHANISTAN, THE NIGHT BELONGS TO THE TALIBAN
The Taliban are carrying out classic
guerrilla warfare in eastern,
southwestern and south central Afghanistan. Their
methodology seems to be to
harass
U.S.
forces and pin down Karzai's
mercenaries without suffering any
losses of their own.
Almost every day, reports come in of
attacks on U.S. troops and their
Afghan mercenaries. Only days back, two U.S.
troops were killed and another
injured in a surprise attack. The troops allied
to the U.S., especially those
working for the corrupt governor of Kandahar, Gul
Agha, have been suffering
dozens of dead and wounded almost every week in
the last three weeks.
U.S. troops have tried several major
sweeps to find the Taliban but
have failed. Following the sweeps, leaflets
carrying a message of
Jihad
against the U.S., signed by the legendary Mullah
Omar, have been distributed
in the Pashtun villages.
Latest reports indicate that the Taliban are
now OPENLY holding THREE
AREAS north of Spin Boldack (on the Quetta,
Pakistani
border).
Recently a U.S. helicopter with six troops
went down, north of Ghazni,
on a clear day for which the Taliban took credit.
The situation is tense even
in KABUL, with night activity by supporters of
the Taliban and Hikmatyar
which keep U.S. troops awake and uneasy. The
Karzai "government" seems to
have run out of steam.
IRAN and Pakistan's General Musharraf
have given their support to
the Karzai "government" but the massive Islamic
demonstrations in Pakistan
indicate that Islam is gaining strength in
Pakistan and has isolated the
pro-U.S. elements.

Islamic Tombs Buzzed, Pakistani Ambassador's
Residence, Hospitals Hit
[Translated byour representative in Texas.]
Iraqi satellite television today (Wed. 2 April.
2003)
reported harmful activity on the part of
aggressor
airplanes that has affected the tombs of Imam Ali
and
of al-Husayn (radiaAllah `anh).
It was not clear just how much damage has been
done or
of what nature. But as fighting rages around
Karbala
and an-Najaf al-Ashraf extensive outrages can be
expected.
In addition Iraqi TV showed the broken glass and
doors
suffered by the Pakistani diplomatic residence in
Baghdad due to the bombing and rocketing. The
charge
d'affairs of Pakistan was interviewed and
obviously
made the point that the Pakistani embassy is not
a
military target. He pointed out that the whole
neighborhood is a civilian area.
Of course since Pakistan itself has been turned
into a
happy hunting ground for FBI agents and the US
military who routinely trample Pakistani
sovereignty
and law, and chase down, interrogate, arrest,
detain,
exile, and generally abuse Pakistani citizens, it
is
no wonder that Washington would have scant
concern for
the well-being of a few more Pakistanis in
Baghdad.
I suppose it's more efficient, in fact, if they
are
just bombed now. It saves the Americans from
having
to arrest them as "pro-Saddam terrorists" later
on.
Perhaps you have also heard of how the aggressors
today rocketed a maternity hospital in Baghdad.
One
doctor was interviewed on Iraqi TV and explained
that
the Red Crescent Maternity Hospital which was
rocketed
by the aggressors was located in the middle of a
medical area. The then named quickly four or
five
other hospitals in the immediate area -- to which
the
wounded from the maternity hospital had been
taken.
He said that among the victims of this latest
crime
were doctors, nurses, emergency workers, and
ambulance
drivers. Obviously people in great demand in
this
difficult times.
The
Anglo-American-Zionist
aggressors by all
accounts
plan to lay seige to Baghdad and want to force
the
civilian population to forsake their homes and
city so
that they can raze the town with less
international
complication.
In view of that known fact, it seems very likely
that
they are deliberately striking markets and
hospitals
in order to try to sow panic among the civilian
population. Hitting a hospital would of course
serve
to exaccerbate the health problems of the Iraqi
capital.
That is what we are dealing with.
Wa-s-salam!
