American Commandos Intent On Capturing Hikmatyar
2002-09-29
Source: Daily Islam, Jihad Unspun
American commandos in Afghanistan have increased their efforts to capture Gulbuddin Hekmatyar when the FBI was told of his meeting with Ex-Commander Jalal-ud-Din Haqqani and after he declared jihad against Americans.
Seems like they should be trying to catch Haqqani, too, since he's reputed — by the Bad Guys — to be able to find his butt with both hands, unlike most Talib commanders...
According to a report, Americans are working on a huge operation in Kantar [Kunar] province. They first want to find out his location and then carry a military operation. It has been learnt that Hekmatyar has also acquired some resources for Jihad and an action would be taken against American forces in near future. Hamid Karzai’s government faces dire circumstances if Hikmatyar starts practicing what he has been preaching lately.
Though to date he's been mostly fuss and bluster, and the operations he's tried have been amateurish. Guess he's out of practice...
