Musharraf can also sell out Kashmir: Hafiz Muhammad Saeed

Dec 9, 2001. LAHORE.  Ameer ,Markaz Ad Dawa wal Irshad, Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, has said that   the Pakistani rulers who sold out the Taliban – the benefactors of this country, under American pressure could  also bargain on  Kashmir.

Commenting on the statement of Pervez Musharraf that “we will not sell out Kashmir,” he said. “If someone sells out honour, no good can be expected of him.

Addressing an Iftar party in the city on Sunday, December 09, 2001 Hafiz Saeed said that the Taliban were Pakistan’s benefactors but the Pakistani rulers betrayed them under US pressure.  The rulers bowed before the US instead of bowing before Allah.  He however, said even today, there was no well wisher of Pakistan in Afghanistan except the Taliban.

He advised the so called intellectuals to stop opposing Jihad on the pretext of lack of technology and resources.  He said Pakistan was gifted with all types of resources including technology and manpower but the only obstacle was the slavish mentality of the ruling junta which stood in the way of our rulers. He questioned what was the fault of our detained nuclear scientists and why were they being subjected to interrogation at the US embassy. It seemed Pakistan had committed a crime by making a nuclear device as the whole world was raising hue and cry over it. And Pakistani rulers were begging for its safety. He said India had made the nuclear bomb with the support of other countries while Pakistani scientists had made the bomb entirely on their own.

He said that the Indian forces have killed nearly 80 thousand Kashmiris in Held Kashmir over the last twelve years but the US has always been advocating the solution of the Kashmir only through dialogue. On the other hand, only a few thousand people   died in the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon but the US discarded all human rights and international norms. Why the US   did not talk of dialogue on Afghanistan issue.  He said that the forces of Kufr were out to wipe out Jehad but Washington would soon realize that honour has not died down in the Muslims masses

 He said time was fast approaching when the Pharaohs of the present era would meet their doom.

US running Afghan operations from Gulf

KUWAIT, Dec 9 : The United States has transferred command of its ground forces in Afghanistan to Kuwait and sent the head of the US Third Army to the Gulf Arab State to run operations, defence sources and officials said Sunday.

The US embassy in Kuwait said Lieutenant-General Paul Mikolashek, 54, head of the US Third Army, had been temporarily deployed to Kuwait from Atlanta to run US Army Forces Central Command operations in Afghanistan.

The decision to move ground forces command operations for Afghanistan to Kuwait was taken due to time zone and distance challenges, the embassy said.

Journalist Robert Fisk beaten by Afghan mob

LONDON, Dec 09 :  A British journalist has been attacked and beaten by a mob of Afghan refugees in Pakistan.

Robert Fisk, 55, a veteran foreign correspondent for the London-based Independent national newspaper, was assaulted when his car broke down on the road between the border city of Quetta and Charnan, according to CNN reports.

He suffered head, face and hand injuries after being pelted with stones when he was set upon by a group of up to 100 people.

Recovering at his hotel in Quetta, the veteran journalist told the Press Association: "It was a very frightening experience and I am in a lot of pain but I am glad to be alive.

"I'm going to bear the scars for the rest of my life - sadly I broke down in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Fisk, the newspaper's Middle East correspondent, had been travelling to Charnan when his car overheated and broke down close to a village housing refugees who had fled across the border from Afghanistan.

He got out of the vehicle and was attempting to push it to the side of the road when a group of 40 to 50 people gathered.

"At first they were reasonably friendly but then a little kid threw a stone at me. More stones followed and then I find myself being punched and beaten in the face.
 
"My glasses were smashed and my spare glasses were ripped away from me. I was covered in blood and couldn't see anything. I was obviously frightened."

Fisk said he fought back and began lashing out at the mob, whose numbers swelled to about 100. He knocked a couple of his attackers to the ground but was then rescued by a Muslim religious leader, who forced the mob back and guided him to a police wagon.

He made it back to his hotel in Quetta, where he was given further medical attention by two Pakistani doctors. But Fisk said he could understand the mob's anger.

"I later found out that the village housed lots of Afghan refugees, whose relatives had been killed just last week in the American bombing of Kandahar," he said.

"It doesn't excuse them for beating me up so badly but there was a real reason why they should hate Westerners so much.

"I don't want this to be seen as a Muslim mob attacking a Westerner for no reason. They had every reason to be angry -- I've been an outspoken critic of the US actions myself. If I had been them, I would have attacked me.

Comments/ Letter to Editor:
ASA!. As a Muslim I strongly condemn such an action but knowing an earlier incident of bombing the Al-Jazeera TV facilities in Kabul to silence honest observers/reporters, it does not surprise me at all that someone was sending him a strong message to stop telling the "TRUTH" otherwise he will be taught an unforgettable lesson. Prior to these events, Russians treated a reporter even worse in Chechnya, when he reported atrocities committed by Russian military to the rest of the world. People who are committed to their profession to tell the TRUTH as they observe, cannot be intimidated by such beatings, because their souls cannot be beaten. May Allah guide us all!

US wants to use Pak army against its Muslim brothers, Taliban Mujahideen.

NEW YORK, Dec 09 : Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz lauding Pakistan's cooperation in the US led war on terror and seeking its assistance for tracking down Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar said that the United States would track them down inside Afghanistan or in other countries if they manage to get across the border.

"We're pretty sure some people are trying to escape into Pakistan. I think the key to catching them is going to be cooperation with the Pakistanis themselves," Wolfowitz said, adding that Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf had so far been cooperative.

"I think he understands that his own country is very much threatened by the penetration of terrorists and extremists. This is a real opportunity to work with the government of Pakistan to keep Pakistan from becoming the same kind of haven for terrorists that Afghanistan is," he said.

Wolfowitz, the Pentagon's second-ranking official, specifically mentioned Afghanistan's neighbour Pakistan, as well as Somalia and Yemen, as countries to which these high-profile fugitives may seek to flee.

He also warned other countries against harbouring them. "I think we've made it clear that the leadership of the Taliban are, in our view, wanted for criminal activity, and that it doesn't matter where they are," Wolfowitz said while in New York for the commissioning of the guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley.

Pakistani military spokesman Rashid Qureshi has said neither bin Laden nor Mullah Omar had entered Pakistan and they would be arrested if they did.

US targets Somalia in hunt for Mujahideen and Islam.

LONDON, Dec 09 : American forces have already flown surveillance flights over Somalia looking for al-Qaeda forces to target in the next stage of the global war on terror, according to the Sunday edition of The Observer.

Navy pilots have flown waves of missions to map two al-Qaeda camps near the Kenyan border with a view to launching air strikes, Pentagon sources said. US warships have positioned themselves off the coast near the capital, Mogadishu, to stop Osama bin Laden from hiding there, and to prepare for an attack if necessary.

Sensitivity over the killing of 18 Army Rangers in Somalia in 1993 is being overcome by the new, emboldened Pentagon which wants to 'exorcise that ghost', said a source, according to the paper.

The flights have intensified over the past few days. Relief workers in Somalia are reported by the State Department to be bracing for action, and the Kenyan government has said it fears a flood of refugees.

The US has named Somalia's al-Itihaad Islamic group on its list of targeted terrorist organisations. The Somalia move is the most forthright action in a steady widening of the war on terror. The hunt for fresh targets in pursuing the al-Qaeda terrorist network and its leader, Osama bin Laden, has now spread to Africa, South America and the Balkans.
