| 2011-05-29 |
| [Tolo News] Taliban Badr operation, part of the Taliban spring offensives, is launched under direct support from Pakistain's spy organisation, bigwigs said on Saturday. Leader of Pak and Afghan Taliban , al-Qaeda network and Jaish-e-Mohammed have had a meeting outside Afghan borders and agreed on Badr Operation. The Taliban had previously announced the beginning of their spring offensives and said they will launch Badr operation and that targeting high-profile Afghan officials will be part of it. Top security officials, including Defence Minister Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak, Interior Minister Gen. Besmellah Mohammadi and Acting Afghan Spy Chief Rahmatullah Nabil were summoned to the parliament to brief representatives about the security situation. Speaking at the house Interior Minister said Pakistain should feel ashamed after al-Qaeda leader was found on its soil. After a suicide kaboom in the biggest military hospital in Kabul, Defence Minister told parliamentarians that all staff in the hospital have been jugged. "All staff in the 400-bed hospital have been jugged and they will face due punishment," Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak said. But Commander of the military hospital Gen. Qasim Ahmadi dismissed the comments. Gen. Ahmadi said: "The comments are all inaccurate and unreal. Why should the staff be tossed in the calaboose?" Acting Chief of Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) warned of a surge in Islamic exemplar activities in the months ahead. "This year's attacks are carried out in cooperation between al-Qaeda and the neighbouring country's spy agency," Acting Spy Chief Rahmatullah Nabil said. Afghan Interior Minister said: "The root of terrorism is based on the other side of borders. The death of the late Osama bin Laden ... who has made the transition back to dust... shows the truthfulness of our government and Pakistain's collaboration with Islamic exemplars." At the same time, a number of parliamentarians blamed the government for not being able to do enough to prevent civilian deaths. "Who is enemy? Who is brother? Until a brave Afghan soldier has no definition of who the enemy is, who should he fight against?" Yonus Qanooni, Afghan MP, said. The comments come as governor's compound in northern Takhar province came under a suicide attack in which a number of top Afghan security officials were killed and some others were maimed. |
