Kandahar operation leaves dozens of coalition and Afghan police dead

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:36:00 GMT

Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate during a successful operation on Saturday, which was primarily a message to Gen. Stanley McChrystal's warning against their coming operation in Kandahar city, caused the US-coalition and Afghan troops deadliest losses. According to the details, Mujahideen, having penetrated into all security barriers and checks, carried out a series of attacks and bombings on the important points in the heart of heavily secured Kandahar city. In the first attack, Mujhideen targeted the police headquarter, conducting face-to-face fighting and detonations that inflicted the police force heavy losses of life and material, but it is still unclear how many policemen were killed and injured, followed by attacks on the police checkpoints in Sarbuzi area of Kandahar city. Meantime, Mujahideen carried out simultaneous attacks and bombings which continued till late night hours of Saturday near governor house, provisional guesthouse and intelligence headquarter,. The last detonation which has been the most fatal and deadliest of all since the operation started on Saturday Mar. 12, targeted the US-led coalition patrol which encountered Mujahideen who, while leaving Kandahar city in their vehicle, have been engaged in a fierce gunfight with the coalition patrol. Mujahideen first opened firing at coalition soldiers from the vehicle, later, as per their tactical plan, Mujahideen left the vehicle which gave the collation and US soldiers a chance to approach the vehicle, at this point the Mujahideen exploded the vehicle using a remote control device that killed and wounded a large number of the US and the coalition soldiers but the death and the injury toll enemy troops is not determined yet. However, the Afghan puppet and NATO officials claimed, as usual, that most of the civilians were victims of Mujahideen attacks and explosions, while some independent media outlets, observers and witnesses say, the fatalities and casualties have only been inflicted on the Afghan police force during the Mujahideen bombings and attacks on the police headquarter and police checkpoints and on the foreign coalitions during the last bomb attack in an area at the furthest point of this city, where curfew had been imposed by the enemy to prevent the civilians from going outside, as the Mujahideen were in the point of leaving Kandahar city. Qari Yousuf Amadi, the spokesman for al-Emarah website, in telephonic conversation told al-Emarah that the Mujahideen's successful operation in the heart of Kandahar city was a message to Stanley McChrystal and a reaction to the US coming operation in Kandahar province which proves that the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate are fully prepared and ready to fight the Americans, NATO and their allies, no mater whichever part of Afghanistan they may be.� Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

Turkey recalls envoy to Sweden over Armenia vote

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:12:16 GMT

The resolution including recognition of Armenian allegations was approved with 131 votes against 130. Turkey recalled its ambassador to Sweden on Thursday after Swedish Parliament approved a resolution on Armenian allegations regarding 1915 incidents. The resolution including recognition of Armenian allegations was approved with 131 votes against 130. Foreign Relations Commission of the Swedish Parliament discussed the resolution on March 2. Parliamentarians from the leftist Social Democrat Party, Left Party and Environment Party were in favor of the resolution. Some parliamentarians of the rightist parties opposed the resolution saying Swedish Parliament was not an international court. "Reactions" "We strongly condemn this resolution, which is made for political calculations," Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement, referring to the Swedish parliament vote. "It does not correspond to the close friendship of our two nations. We are recalling our ambassador for consultations," Erdogan said, adding that he was cancelling a Turkey-Sweden summit scheduled for March 17. President Abdullah Gul also said that the resolution did not have any credibility. Gul said, "all we know how such decisions are made. It does not have any credibility for us." Those who made this decision and who voted in favor of the resolution were not historians, he said. Mehmet Kaplan, Turkish parliamentarian of the Environment Party, said the resolution could obstruct the recent developments in Turkey and called on the parliamentarians to vote against the resolution. Zergun Koruturk, Turkey's ambassador to Sweden, told Swedish television programme Aktuellt that the vote would have "drastic effects" on bilateral relations which were unlikely to be overcome in a short time. "I am very disappointed," Koruturk said. "Unfortunately, parliamentarians were thinking that they were rather historians than parliamentarians, and it's very, very unfortunate." The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs last Thursday approved the resolution on Armenian allegations regarding incidents of 1915. Turkey strongly rejects the genocide allegations and regards the events as civil strife in wartime which claimed lives of many Turks and Armenians. Turkey and Armenia signed two protocols on October 10, 2009 to normalize relations between the two countries. The protocols envisage the two countries to establish diplomatic ties and open the border that has been close since 1993. Turkey and Armenia also agreed to take steps to operate a sub-commission on impartial scientific examination of the historical records and archive to define existing problems and formulate recommendations, in which Armenian, Turkish as well as Swiss and other international experts would take part. However, on January 12, 2010, the Constitutional Court of Armenia declared a decision of constitutional conformity on the protocols. Turkey thought the fifth article of Armenian Constitutional Court's verdict regarding the protocols was against the target and basis of the protocols. Source: Agencies Kavkaz Center

Hundreds Killed in Muslim-Christian clashes in Nigeria

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:47:00 GMT

More than 300 people, mostly women and children, were killed Sunday, March 7, in a new outburst of deadly sectarian violence near Nigeria's central city of Jos. "Reports reaching us indicated marauding bands launched a flurry of attacks on certain communities in the state, causing considerable death and injury," Acting President Goodluck Jonathan's office said in a statement cited by Reuters. Witnesses said machete-wielding gangs attacked the Dogo Nahawa village near Jos, shooting into the air and slashing people fleeing their homes with machetes. "Over a hundred people have been killed -- most of them women and children," a government official told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on condition of anonymity. "Some of the children are less than one year old." But a Reuters witness counted more than 120 bodies -- most lying in Dogo Nahawa. Some of the bodies, including those of women and children, were charred, others had machete wounds across their faces. Aid workers said some had been shot. A Red Cross official said at least two other nearby communities were also targeted in the villages of Ratsat and Zot, all less than 10 kilometers from Jos and home to members of the Berom ethnic group. The Nigerian government ordered the security forces to hunt down perpetrators of the massacre. "The Acting President ... has directed that the security services undertake strategic initiatives to confront and defeat these roving bands of killers," Jonathan's office said.

Earthquake rocks eastern Turkey: 57 dead

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:39:01 GMT

A strong earthquake killed 57 villagers in a remote part of eastern Turkey before dawn on Monday, officials said, and aftershocks continued for hours after while rescuers searched for trapped survivors. People were sleeping in their mud-brick houses when the 6.0-magnitude quake struck at 4:32 am local time (0232 GMT) in a sparsely-populated area of high steppe in Eastern Anatolia. "There was a lot of fear and panic among the people. It lasted about a minute. We felt it very strongly and everyone tried to get out onto the street," Nursel Sengezer, a Dogan News Agency correspondent in Elazig, told a Turkish broadcaster. Turkey is criss-crossed with faultlines and frequently suffers earthquakes. A large earthquake measuring 7.4 killed about 18,000 people in August 1999. On Monday, families huddled in the open around fires lit to keep them warm, as the ground shook with more than 40 aftershocks, the largest of which had a magnitude of 5.5. The quake toppled the minarets of three mosques in stricken villages in the Basyurt region of Elazig, according to provincial governor Muammer Erol. Television images from the area showed women crying and embracing amid the ruins of their one-storey houses, and cars and ambulances ferrying injured to a hospital in the nearby town of Kovancilar. "I ask my citizens in the region not to go into damaged houses because earthquakes and aftershocks are continuing," Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told a meeting of his AK Party. Erdogan lamented the loss of life due to the vulnerability of the traditional mud-brick village homes, and pledged to rebuild houses using stronger materials. Para-military and police directed operations on the outskirts of affected villages, where crowds had gathered, and a Red Crescent team had reached the area and set up a crisis centre. The Turkish Red Crescent has sent 500 tents and foodstuff, while public institutions have dispatched 10 containers to the quake zone. Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek and three other ministers travelled to the quake zone, state-run Anatolian news agency reported. Cicek said the death toll had risen to 57, confirming estimates given by local officials to broadcasters. There were no reports of any damage to the strategic hydroelectric Keban Dam, further west in Elazig. The Keban Dam was the first and most upstream dam built by Turkey on the Euphrates River as part of the Southeast Anatolia Project. Elementary and secondary schools will be closed for two days due to the massive earthquake. Source: Agencies Kavkaz Center

Dubai: 'Israeli' premier faces arrest

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:38:51 GMT

The head of the Dubai police is planning to seek the arrest of the Zionist "prime minister of Israel" and the head of his terrorist service, Mossad, over the killing of a Hamas leader. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim told Al Jazeera he would ask the Dubai prosecutor to issue arrest warrants for Binyamin Netanyahu and Meir Dagan this week. Tamim said he was "almost certain" "Israeli" agents were involved in the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a Hamas commander, at a Dubai hotel in January. "Israel" has neither confirmed nor denied involvement in al-Mabhouh's murder. The police chief said Mossad had "insulted" Dubai and Western countries whose fraudulent passports were used by suspects in the assassination. Source: Al Jazeera and agencies Kavkaz Center

Taliban told about the situation in Marjah

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:55:21 GMT

Late on March 1, the Voice of Jihad published a statement by the Government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on the situation in Marjah. The statement reads: "The invading American and NATO forces have announced that they are clearing the last pockets of resistance in Marjah but this is no more than an eye-wash. The fact is that the invading troops are now entangled in a long war in Marjah. The battles are going on in Marjah according to the tactical plan of Mujahideen. With the passage of every day, the enemy suffers life and material losses. From the first day of operation February 13, 2010, the enemy troops have not been able to extend their writ to other areas of Marjah except areas, which were evacuated by Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate at the beginning of the operations as per a tactical plan to encircle the enemy forces. When the enemy new strategy faced fiasco, they ludicrously announced to have cleared the areas. However, the ground realities are contrary to what they are claiming. The enemy launched operations in Kunduz province to lessen pressure on their troops in Marjah. They thought Mujahideen will send some groups of their forces from Marjah to Chardaara district of Kunduz province. This will give them a breath of relief. Even they now speak of massive operations in Kandahar province. All these efforts by the enemy are aimed at distracting the attention of the public of the world from Marjah and reducing Mujahideen's stiff resistance in Marjah. This moribund endeavor will also fail because Mujahideen are not short of manpower and armed men. The public are with them. Whenever, Mujahideen need more groups of armed men, they draw them from among the people. The Afghans share common goals with the Mujahideen and they know that the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate are protectors of their Islamic and national values. The Afghan Mujahideen lay down their lives to secure our cultural values, dignity, human rights, freedom and noble traditions from the aggression of the invaders. Therefore, the people stand by Mujahideen and support their cause. The Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan believes American invaders and their allies will always find pretexts to continue their occupation of Afghanistan. Terrorism, democracy, human rights, women rights are just mere slogans used by American colonialism to reach their imperialist goals in this part of the world and in Afghanistan. Many cases of tortures of detainees in Guantanamo, Bagram, Abu Gharib jail, NAMA camp in Iraq and the secret PRTs jails in military bases in Afghanistan, show flagrant and brutal violations of human rights by American interrogators and their troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. If they are really protectors of human rights, why they have been perpetrating these violations for the past eight years. In Bagram, Guantanamo and other secret jails in Afghanistan, miserable detainees are deprived of their humane rights and do not have access to legal advisors. They are deprived of their rights to defend themselves at the courts. Is this not a shame that the violators of human rights. i.e. American, claim being advocate of human rights in the world? They want to become the only policeman, magistrate and judge of the world. If the people of Afghanistan want freedom and a system of government based on their wants, Islamic culture, why America does not give this legitimate right to the Afghans and why they suffocate their voices under the notorious name of terrorism? The demand of the Afghans is in line with all laws of human rights but the current American domination and subjugation of Afghanistan is against all norms and principles of human rights. The bottom line is that America is a new form of colonialist power which want to maintain its dominance over the world under lustrous slogans of democracy and human rights while in reality, they are enemy of human values and dignity more than any one else. We ask the invading Americans why do you kill innocent youth, men and old men before the very eyes of their family members during night raids? Whey did you kill an infant of four days in Gorbez, Khust province last year? Was he a terrorist or a just your cutthroat soldiers want to strike terrors in the heart of common Afghans by resorting to such bestial acts, not sparing even an infant of four days? The operations that you are conducting in Marjah under the name of fight against terrorism is a tyrannical and colonialist war being waged against freedom-fighters because the Mujahideen in Marjah are fighting for their freedom, human dignity, country and Islamic values. We are sure that no invader will ever suffocate the voice of truth in the throat of the freedom-loving people of Afghanistan by dent of military power. In the long run, the oppressed Afghans will carry the day in this battle between truth and evil, if God willing". Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

Afghan puppets ban coverage of Taliban operations

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:32:37 GMT

Afghanistan puppet authorities on Monday announced a ban on news coverage showing Taliban attacks, saying "such images embolden the Islamic fighters, who have launched strikes around the country as NATO forces seize their southern strongholds". The announcement came on a day when the NATO-led occupations forces fighting the Taliban reported six of its service members had been killed in various attacks. Journalists will be allowed to film only the aftermath of attacks, when given permission by the National Directorate of Security (NDS) spy agency, the agency said. Journalists who film while attacks are under way will be held and their gear seized. "Live coverage does not benefit the government, but benefits the enemies of Afghanistan," NDS spokesman Saeed Ansari said. The agency summoned a group of reporters to announce the ban. The move was denounced by Afghan journalism and rights groups, which said it would deprive the public of vital information about the security situation during attacks. "Such a decision prevents the public from receiving accurate information on any occurrence," said Abdul Hameed Mubarez head of the Afghan National Media Union, a group set up to protect Afghan journalists, who often complain of harassment by authorities. "The government should not hide their inabilities by barring media from covering incidents," said Laila Noori, who monitors media issues for Afghanistan Rights Monitor, the country's main liberties watchdog. "People want to know all the facts on the ground whenever security incidents take place." Source: Agencies Kavkaz Center

Turkish PM warns Armenia and U.S.

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:41:35 GMT

Ankara has launched the implementation of planned actions to prevent the approval of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.Res.252 on a vote scheduled for March 4 by the US House Foreign Affairs Committee. According to Sabah, Turkey's new-appointed Ambassador Namik Tan had a meeting with the Jewish lobby. The Turkish party expects support over anti-resolution struggle particularly from the American Jewish community (AJC), "American Israel Public Affairs Committee" (AIPAC), and "Anti-Defamation League" (ADL). The delegation chaired by the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Turkey's Grand National Assembly Murat Mercan is due to hold talks with the Congress over preventing the approval of the Armenian Genocide Resolution. Moreover, Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan is due to attend the nuclear security summit in Washington April 14, where he will meet with Obama to raise Armenian-Turkish rapprochement process. "Our contacts, surely, continue. Turkish delegation is on a visit to the U.S. We here as well continue the process and contact with all the interested parties. The process, started in Switzerland, goes on, and if the opposite part shows constructivism, we'll succeed, I think. However, if the White House takes a wrong step on March 1 and April 24, then the process of Armenia-Turkey reconciliation will certainly be brought to a stop," Erdogan said.

Demonstrators march in Turkey to warn off military

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:42:15 GMT

Around 2000 people have demonstrated in Istanbul to voice their opposition to any attempt by the Turkish army to carry out a coup d�état. The march took place on the anniversary of the 1997 coup against the government of Necmettin Erbakan, but comes in a context of heightened tension between the military and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan again met with the head of the Turkish armed forces Ilker Basburg on Sunday. No details have emerged from the two hours of talks, but relations have soured following the arrest of some 70 senior military officers, accused of plotting to overthrow the government in 2003. 33 of them have been charged so far. The Army sees itself as the guardian of the country's lay tradition, while Erdogan's party emerged from the Islamist movement. He is seeking to change the constitution to make it harder for political parties to be outlawed and may seek a national referendum on the issue if he is unable to get sufficient support within parliament to push through the reform.

Martyr attacks rock Kabul

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:55:28 GMT

At least 17 Karzai puppets and foreigners, mostly Indians, were killed and 32 wounded when several Martyrs attacked a hotel popular with foreigners and the surrounding area in the centre of Kabul, the Afghan capital. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for Friday's attack, one of the deadliest attacks on the Afghan capital in a year. An Italian, a Frenchman and 10 Indians were among the dead, officials said. The first blast occurred at about 06:45 local time, near the Kabul City Centre, Kabul's largest shopping centre located in the city's main commercial district, that includes the Safi Landmark Hotel. That was followed about 10-20 minutes later by fierce gunfire and two smaller explosions. Puppets police say at least two police officers were among those killed in the blasts. The Reuters news agency quoted Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, as saying "holy warriors had managed to attack in the heart of Kabul city once again." The spokesman said at least five Taliban fighters launched the attack, including two Martrys who detonated explosives-packed vests near the hotel and a shopping mall, Reuters reported. However, the Afghan puppet interior ministry says there were only three Martyrs involved in these attacks. Taliban attacks Al Jazeera's correspondent in Kabul, Hoda Abdel-Hamid, said: "Explosions and the sound of intense gunfire, followed by sporadic gunfire, were heard in the heart of Kabul this morning. "There is a concern that as the Nato push against the Taliban goes on, these types of attacks will increase as a result. "The Taliban is showing that they too are very strong-willed and that they will attack anywhere and anytime they want. "An attack like this one sends a message that no one is really safe, that even a city like Kabul, with heavy security, is not safe from the conflict anymore," she said. The bombing is the first attack in the Afghan capital since January 18, when teams of Martyrs and fighters targeted puppet government buildings in the centre of the city, leaving 12 dead, including seven attackers. It is also the first attack in Kabul since the start of a major Nato-led offensive against Taliban Mujahideen in Afghanistan's Helmand province. Source: Agencies Kavkaz Center

Turkey charges 11 more in coup plot

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:19:24 GMT

A Turkish court on Friday charged 11 more ranking officers, saying they plotted several years ago to topple the Islamic-rooted government, increasing the number of officers jailed to 31, including seven admirals and four generals. The 11 newly charged officers included two active-duty admirals and one retired general. The court's decision came hours after prosecutors released the former chiefs of the navy and air force and another top general without immediately charging them with being involved, saying they were unlikely to flee. The government detained 49 high-ranking officers this week, claiming they plotted to overthrow the government in 2003, a year after the ruling party came to power. The probe fueled tensions between Turkey's two main political forces - the Islamic-based government and the secular military - worrying businesses and investors and jolting the markets. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan dismissed opposition calls for early elections and met with the country's military chief Thursday to defuse tensions over the government's probe. Opposition leaders claim the coup probe is tinged by politics, a charge the government rejects. It says it is trying to put the military, which has ousted four civilian governments since 1960, under civilian rule, just like it is done in Western democracies. The charges are largely based on wiretap evidence and the discovery of purported plans for a military coup drafted in 2003. Some suspects are accused of plotting to blow up mosques and kill some non-Muslim figures to foment chaos and trigger a military takeover. It is widely believed that Gen. Hilmi Ozkok, then head of the military, did not back his subordinates. He has not been implicated in the alleged plot. Source: Agencies Kavkaz Center

Government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan reports about battles in Marjah

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:33:38 GMT

Amid the silence of the Western propaganda about the widely advertised Western offensive in Helmand, the command of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan says what is actually happening on the front. The press-service of the IEA published a government statement dated 23 February, where it reports about the defense of Marjah from the invading enemy forces. The statement says: "In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate For the last two weeks, a 15,000-strong army of NATO, British and American forces has been carrying out military operations in a small are i.e. Marjah which is located in Nad Ali district. A number of jet bombers of the enemy including unmanned drones and 60 gunship helicopters are taking part in the operations. In addition to this, the enemy have brought to the battle field their huge and most advanced tanks by the name of Abraham and Shifton, which approximately weigh 65 tons. But despite the preparations, boasts and propaganda stunts, the enemy have not been able to make any headway against a small group of Mujahideen who are not more than 1000 armed men and their weapons are no match with those of the enemy. But still the sacrificing and committed Mujahideen have bravely blocked the invaders' way successfully. ...Skilled snipers have put shock and awe into the ranks of the enemy. The Mujahideen have blown up 53 tanks; shot down two unmanned drones and one helicopter besides killing tens of soldiers. If we count the crews in the tanks which have been destroyed, we can easily conclude that the enemy losses are more than 100 soldiers. ...The enemy twice tried to airdrop soldiers behind the line of the fighting but soon Mujahideen besieged them and after Mujahideen inflicting on them losses, the enemy hastily left the area. ...There are thousands of towns in Afghanistan like Marjah in addition to about 385 districts in the country. ...Seeing that they were not able to take a small area like Marjah in two weeks, so ironically, how much decades and how massive force they would need to take the whole Afghanistan. Still it is a matter of pondering that the Mujahideen learn new tactics with the passage of time and their knowledge in the field of politics, culture and military experience increase with every passing day. ...It will be better for the rulers of the White House to put an end to the current unsuccessful adventure in Afghanistan. All invaders, beginning with Alexander, the Great up to the time of the former Soviet Union have tried this adventure in this Mujahid-bearing land but they all failed... By traversing the same path of failure and fiasco, Obama only prolongs days and nights of his failure and disgrace... The caravan of the holy martyrs and fighters will surely reach its destination soon or later. If Allah willing". Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center
