Occupation forces claim killing 300 Mujahiddeen, Taliban rejected

Occupation Forces in Afghanistan claimed to have killed 300 taliban in the ongoing operation called furry mountain. According to details, spokesman of the occupation forces said that karzai and allied forces had killed 300 mujahiddeen in the ongoing operation while Taliban Spokesman has rejected the claim.

The operation was kicked off by the allied forces, puppet karzai "police" and "army" on September 17 in the eastern and central Afghanistan.

About 7000 occupation troops are taking part in this operation. The objective is to eradicate militancy in the areas and to help to "reconstruct" Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, Japan`s new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Monday he wants to extend his country`s support of occupation forces in Afghanistan by an additional year.

Japan`s navy has provided fuel for occupation warships in the Indian Ocean since November 2001 under a special so call "anti-terrorism" law set to expire on Nov. 1. It had already been extended in 2003 for two years and again for a year in 2005.

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party`s defence and foreign affairs panel last month endorsed a plan to extend the law for another year, allowing Japan to continue refueling U.S. and other allied naval ships in the region as part of the so call "anti-terror" effort. The Cabinet is expected to approve the extension on Oct. 6 before submitting the bill to parliament for planned enactment by the end of October.

Abe expressed his support for the extension during a session of parliament.

The Indian Ocean dispatch has been part of Tokyo`s recent attempts to raise its international profile. Under former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, who stepped down last week, Japan also sent so call "non-combat troops" to southern Iraq to assist in U.S.-led occupation force.

Both operations were criticized by some in Japan as violating the nation`s pacifist constitution, which prohibits the use of force in solving international disputes.

Abe has pledged to follow an assertive foreign policy and military role. He has voiced support for amending the constitution to join more so call "peacekeeping missions" and work more closely with U.S. forces.
