Taliban Close In On Afghan Capital Of Kabul
Sep 29, 2003
By Zafir Jamaal, JUS

Taliban Mujahideen have closed in on the suburbs of Kabul, the Afghan capital, after taking the strategic town of Sarobi in an operation that even Afghan officials consider “amazing”. Taliban Mujahideen are now amassing for a classic offensive from the south and east to take Kabul.

As Taliban Mujahideen closed in on Kabul, Taliban leaders urged government forces to lay down their arms and surrender, saying that President Burhanuddin Rabbani was 'preparing to flee'. Commander of the Faithful Mullah Omar offered the government forces amnesty and told them to stay at their posts to keep order.

The Taliban have proven once again their ability to make quick and easy military as it did when it came to power in 1994. They have two thirds of the country wrapped up are pushing north to try to surround Kabul and take the government's air base at Bagram, 30 miles north of Kabul.
On Wednesday, Kabul police seized 47 rockets, each loaded with 91 small bombs that were aimed at Kabul, fused and ready to be fired.

This is the biggest threat to the Kazai regime yet. It now has very little territory under its control, beyond the immediate are of Kabul and some remote and militarily insignificant areas in the north.

It unclear how General Abdul Rashid Dostam, the warlord who has control of the oil rich north and who is known for switching sides, will play into the equation.

Aid Worker Killed

Meanwhile, Taliban Mujahideen have killed another Afghan working for a local humanitarian agency and seriously wounded his driver, District military commander Haji Ghulam Sarwar said in a phone conversation with Reuters on Thursday.

He said the worker with the Voluntary Association for Rehabilitation of Afghanistan was killed when four Mujahideen attacked his vehicle on the road to the city of Kandahar in Girishk district, about 345 miles west of Kabul.

Sarwar said two of the attackers had been arrested and were carrying documents and a satellite telephone. He also added that the attackers were traveling in a Toyota taxi and initially approached the aid workers' in an attempted to divert them. When they refused, they shot the engineer, the site manager of VARA's office in the province of Nimroz, in the neck, killing him instantly, and wounded the driver.

Taliban Fire Rockets At US Base

Meanwhile AFP reports that Taliban Mujahideen fired 10 rockets at two US military bases near Afghanistan's border with Pakistan, Eight of the rockets landed near the base at Shkin in Paktika province and two landed near a base in northeast Kunar province late Tuesday but Afghan officials report no casualties.

"Shkin, we call it the most evil place in Afghanistan. We have lost more soldiers in Shkin than any other place in Afghanistan," Colonel Rodney Davis told reporters in Kabul.

Afghan troops say that Taliban Mujahideen are now armed with technology including night-vision gear and satellite telephones. (JUS)

Another Blatant Lie From Washington On Afghanistan
Oct 01, 2003
By Zafir Jamaal, JUS

Nearly two years after the start of the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan, the American military gave a bullish progress report Wednesday, saying it had suffered only 31 combat deaths and enemy forces were"desperate."

This could not be further from the truth, as readers of Jihad Unspun know. We have been reporting almost weekly deaths in the hot spot from Middle Eastern news sources and eye witness’s reports. Ironically, this disinformation comes a day after U.S. troops clashed with suspected Taliban near a remote outpost in fighting that killed one American and wounded two others.

U.S. military spokesman Colonel Rodney Davis said Taliban, Al-Qaida and other Islamic “militants” opposing the 11,500-strong U.S.-led force had only three options:"Leave, die or change."

Not so. Both AP and Reuters have confirmed our reports that the Taliban are firmly in control of four provinces, a handful of other cities and are poised to take Kabul. They have new technology, refreshed weapons stockpiles and new recruits.

Davis said the United States had suffered 31 combat deaths in Afghanistan since operations began on October 7, 2001, including the one killed Monday in a firefight near the Pakistani border, a fraction of those killed in most past wars.

"We've been fairly careful about the use of combat force in Afghanistan and we have been relatively successful in protecting our soldiers," Davis said. “That being said, we continue to engage in combat operations to the degree necessary to kill, capture and deny sanctuary to anti-coalition forces. We think things are progressing, we think anti-coalition forces are desperate."

They have indeed been careful. Where is this 11,500 strong force? Having lunch at Bagram? Hell no - they are protecting the pipeline construction, oops - I mean “reconstruction projects”. If this amount of forces were actively engaging the Taliban, there is no way the Taliban could have taken so much ground. The truth is, US forces rarely venture out to engage in real battle but rather provide air support to the allies and Afghan soldiers on the ground as US forces are far to busy making sure the road linking Turkmenistan with Pakistan parallel to the pipeline that will pump Afghan gas for export keeps to schedule.

When asked why training has taken so long, Davis said it took time to train capable soldiers “You want good soldiers, not paper soldiers, or toy soldiers," he said, adding that the national army was expected to double in size from its current 6,000 by this time next year.
He failed to mention that many have deserted and many more have been killed. Further, new recruits are almost non-existent with the threat of death issued by commander of the Faithful, Mullah Omar to any Muslim who side with the occupying forces..

Of course this report comes with a purposes and that is to prepare the American people for a long and expensive stay. The pipeline will take at least five years to develop to profitability, providing the Taliban are kept at bay which is unlikely. And of course American companies like Halibuton are also in desperate need of more profits which they garner from their supporting roles.
Base operations officials at Bagram and Kandahar bases are operating on long-term plans for improvements to the bases, which include building barracks similar to those found in Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, among other quality-of-life projects.

“There is a long-term plan; we’re going to be here a long time,” said Lt. Col. Steve Mahoney, base operations commander in Kandahar. “[The plan] is in a state of being updated. We’re constantly looking at it because the environment here is always changing.”

At Bagram air base, base operations has devised a five- to eight-year community master plan, in which all U.S. troops will eventually move from the west side of the airfield to the east side, said Lt. Col. Paul Kimbrough, at Bagram base operations. The U.S.-controlled bases could end up looking similar to those in Kosovo and Bosnia, where soldiers have cappuccino bars and movie theaters, among other extras.

As far as the actual casualty figures are concerned, JUS logged over 600 US deaths up to June 2002 and a quick query of our database put the actual numbers to date at almost double that which we will publish in a further report in the next few months.

One thing is for sure, information reaching American citizens could not be further from the truth on the ground and the American people are being snowed on this one too. (JUS)
