| Officials claim new stream of support for insurgency coming from Iran |
| 2006-10-02 |
| Knock-kneed with fear, the young prisoner perched on the edge of his chair in the windowless Afghan intelligence office. Eyes bloodshot and hands trembling, he blurted out his story. Abdullah had reached the end of a pitifully short career as a Taliban fighter. He had been arrested hours earlier, just 10 days after signing up to the insurgency. But the 25-year-old with a soft face and a neat beard had something unusual that aroused the intelligence agents' curiosity. "I come from Iran," he said in a quavering voice, wringing his hands nervously. "They told me the Americans had invaded Afghanistan and I should go and fight jihad. But I was cheated. Now I am very sorry that I ever left." As a hurricane of Taliban violence tears across Afghanistan - the latest suicide bombing killed 10 people in Kabul on Saturday - accusations of foreign support have centred on Pakistan, where fighters can shelter, organise and rearm. But recently Afghan and western officials have started to detect a second, albeit far smaller, stream of support from within Afghanistan's other powerful neighbour, Iran. Military and diplomatic sources said they had received numerous reports of Iranians meeting tribal elders in Taliban-influenced areas, bringing offers of military or more often financial support for the fight against foreign forces. The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the meetings took place in Helmand province, where more than 3,000 British troops are based, and neighbouring Nimroz, a lawless desert province bordering eastern Iran. |

| #2 Way too easy. So what if Iran's pumping cannon fodder into Afghanistan? This is no different from what they've been doing in Iraq. Same shit, different compass point. As with any sewer plumbing problem, go back to the choke point and find the clean-out access above it. IRAN. Plain and simple, Iran. Kick some Tehran-based mullah ass for game over set and match point. Taking Iran off line will reduce sand in the gears so much where smart Americans will party in the streets. I promise to Rantburg that if America bombs Iran, I will perform a solid hour of live saxophone music on my front porch and serve some barbecued lamb on the side. |

| #1 "As a hurricane of Taliban violence tears across Afghanistan..." Guardian Dark and Stormy Night purple prose. Look, NATO noobs, you're new to the fighting. Your MSM doesn't know shit. It's not new and it's not resurgent and it's not a hurricane, it's just a steady stream of suckers of varying quality and experience from all sorts of Islamic shitholes, like your knock-kneed Abdullah, being fed into the meat grinder that the US cranked alone for years before youse guys showed up. Fuck off, Guardian. |
