| The Secret Army™ claims responsibility for attacks... |
| 2002-08-29 |
| An Afghan group sent a statement to IslamOnline (IOL) on Tuesday, August 27, claiming responsibility for a string of attacks targeting U.S. troops in Afghanistan and promising to continue its attacks in revenge for the innocent civilians killed during the U.S. war in Afghanistan. The group, calling itself the Secret Army of the Afghan Fighters (Mujahideen), said their attacks against the Americans in Afghanistan will continue until the last U.S. soldier leaves the country and a âfree Islamic Afghanistanâ is established. This would probably be the Hekmatyar bunch... The statement — which provides the details of 30 attacks against U.S. troops in Kabul, Bagram military base, and six towns in eastern and southern Afghanistan during the period from March 4, to August 23 — is apparently the first one issued by this new group whose name has never been mentioned previously. That's 'cause they just made it up... âThese attacks were not launched by the Taliban or Al-Qaeda, instead they are the work of those heroes and fighters who decided to establish a Jihadi group under the name of the Secret Army of the Afghan Fighters following the unjust U.S. attacks against Afghanistan,â the statement said. According to the statement, these attacks resulted in the deaths of 59 American soldiers, in addition to three Canadian soldiers and 15 Afghani soldiers described in the statement as âspiesâ or âagents.â The Pentagon, has continuously denied any news about the killing of its soldiers in Afghanistan. Which is why we've been ignoring the reports appearing on the jihadi websites... The statement, written in Pushtu on a computer, starts with a long introduction explaining that a U.S.-Russian plan to end Taliban rule and bring to power the former king Mohamed Zahir Shah with a new government was ready even before the September 11 attacks. âBut the September attacks changed the plan and made the U.S. the exclusive leader of the terror war. And the U.S. attacked Afghanistan with international blessings,â it said. And, we might add, with good reason. But if you're determined to sieze all power for yourself, it doesn't matter whether the reason was good or bad. What matters is that the people in power aren't you, and the only way that can be cured is to kill lots of people, which makes the country unstable, in the hope that eventually the Americans will get disgusted and go home. Then you can rocket the hell out of Kabul, kill as many people as you can lay hands on, and introduce a new era of peace and prosperity in Afghanistan that will last until someone else with a big ego and no compunctions starts rocketing you. I sure do wish somebody would kill Engineeer Hekmatyar. |

| #1 âfree Islamic Afghanistanâ? Last time I checked the words "free" and "Islamic" were oxymorons. |
