{A little more information about the FBI raid, with dogs, on Masjid
Khizra,
New York: Kausar Chishti, Chairman of the Board of Trustees said that
"The
FBI raid on Masjid Khizra desecrated the mosque and hurt the feelings
of the
Muslims, and whoever gave incorrect and baseless information to the FBI
did a
great wrong to Islam, and Allah will surely punish that enemy of
Islam." It
appears that charitable funds were being collected at the mosque and
someone
told the FBI that it was supporting "terrorism."}

First LAUGH A LITTLE: Karzai, the man imposed on
Afghanistan
by
Bush,
is
visiting his master in the White House. The poor fellow claims to be
LEADER
of Afghanistan but cannot drive outside Kabul even with the British
troops
propping him up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. January 27. More than 10,000 Pakistanis rallied in Peshawar, near
the
Afghan border, in defiance of Gen. Musharref's orders. Addressed by
Syed
Munawar Hasan, interim leader of Jamaate Islami, and Maulana Samiul Haq
of
the Pak-Afghan-Defense Council, the gathering gave a clear answer to
America's client Gen. Musharraf as follows:
i. Jihad is the right of the Muslims against oppression and it will
continue
in
Palestine,
Chechnya,
Kashmir and Afghanistan.
ii. We condemn American barbarism against Al-Qaeda and Taliban
prisoners and
demand an end to it.
iii. The restrictions imposed on mosques and Islamic schools
(medressas) will
be resisted.
{MSNBC gave the number of demonstrators as 5000. CNN refused to report
the
rally except in a running line below the screen. The secularist
pro-government Pakistani paper DAWN claimed that the number was 2000.}

THE SUPREME COURT OF PAKISTAN HAS DECLARED GEN. MUSHARRAF's
IMPRISONMENT OF
JI LEADER QAZI HUSSAIN AHMED illegal, but when the freed leader
travelled
from Peshawar to Lahore, he was again arrested.

2. January 28.THE FBI and its PAKISTANI EQUIVALENT FIA teamed up to
raid air
flights ready to leave Pakistan for Saudi Arabia carrying pilgrims for
Hajj.
The raids occurred when the Americans expressed fears that Al-Qaeda and
Taliban might be going to Saudi Arabia under cover of Hajj. The raid
was
lead by Zulfiqar Ali Shah, Deputy Director of immigration. No suspects
were
found but the pilgrims who were searched have expressed sense of anger
and
insult at the humiliation imposed on them. {Observers say: Raids on
pilgrims
simply show that this is a war on
Islam.}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDIAN POLICE has killed two PAKISTANIS in the Calcutta area and claims
that
they were responsible for the attack on the U.S. cultural center. {Dead
people tell no tales!} Earlier India had blamed Bangladeshis for the
attack.
GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION led by Dr. Anwarul Haque in Islamabad
has
brought out an important aspect of this situation. It appears that some
Pakistanis captured in Mazare Sharif were transferred to India by the
Northern Alliance. Two of these have now been killed in a fake
"encounter"
and claims about their terrorism are being made. {Transfers of
prisoners to
third countries are violations of international law. AFGHAN AMBASSADOR
ABDUS
SALAM ZAEEF WAS SIMILARLY TRANSFERRED TO U.S. custody.}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In ANOTHER OPERATION, American special forces and their Afghan
mercenaries
have killed SIX al-Qaeda Islamists who had taken refuge in Kandahar
hospital
for six weeks. They were injured and starving. As they closed
themselves in,
fearing American mistreatment of POWS, their fame for piety and bravery
spread through Kandahar. Even a CNN reporter mentioned that they had
become
folk heroes and Afghan women sent them food which was smuggled to them
by
children.
On January 26, the heroic American forces and their mercenary Afghan
troops
stormed the hospital. The injured, weak, starving men resisted for 9
hours
and finally were killed by a score of grenades thrown into the hospital
ward
by the heroes.

HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS SAY, BUSH MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
ATROCITIES
COMMITTED BY NORTHERN ALLIANCE AGAINST PRISONERS JUST AS SHARON WAS
HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATROCITIES BY MARONITES against Palestinians.

An AMERICAN CHINOOK HELICOPTER WENT DOWN near Khost, Afghanistan on
January
28. Fifteen troops of the crack 101st air borne were injured. This is
the 4th
U.S. aircraft to be brought down in 4 weeks.
