Hekmatyar still ranting about jihad...
In Afghanistan videotapes with the address made by ex-Prime Minister of Afghanistan and Leader of Islamic Party of Afghanistan Gulbuddin Hekmatyar have been distributed lately. In his address one of the most authoritative and popular combat commanders of the times of the Soviet invasion is calling Americans invaders, and he is calling to fight the aggressors. He's beloved of his people for the way he rocketed Kabul to smithereens because the rest of the alliance wouldn't let him be in charge... «Arise, take up arms and do to the Americans what you did to the Soviet troops», Hekmatyar is calling. "Arise, O Pashtuns!" In his address to the Afghan people he points out that American and Western troops are now conducting a fierce war on their territories, which are inhabited by the Pashtu. «Americans are conducting 85 percent of all combat actions on Pashtun territories. They are destroying mosques, ruining people's houses, capturing elders, blocking roads, and killing innocent people». Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's also where 85 percent or better of the Bad Guys are, and Hekmatyar is 60 or 70 percent of them... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-09-10 |
