Zilhajj 27, 1431 A.H, Saturday, December 04, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The esteemed Amir-ul-Mumineen, Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid, in his Eid ul Adha message, re-affirmed the stance of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan regarding talks with the puppet Kabul regime and the American invaders.
He made it clear that the solution of the Afghan issues lies only in full withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan. The recent developments as regards our country show the far-sightedness of the Amir-ul-momineen, by not responding to the war stratagem being launched by the enemy time and again under the name of peace talks overtures. With the passage of time, it becomes more and more exposed that the enemy is only trying to create rifts among the ranks of Mujahideen through their publishing false reports of peace talks with the senior officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
On 22nd Nov. 2010, the New York Times wrote: “the so called “high -ranking member of Taliban” was actually a lowly shop keeper from Quetta. He had introduced himself as Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour to the British Intelligence MI6; His credentials had been confirmed by US intelligence agencies. Then, he was flown by NATO to Kabul to meet with Hamid Karzai who gave him large amount of money. The man apparently had long talks with the M16 for several days before he was whisked away to Kabul. In fact, the enemy has no clear strategy for diplomatic solutions of the issue. Instead, they resort to some hypocritical tactics aimed at weakening the Mujahideen. A western writer writes: “But wait. If we did want to weaken Taliban resolve—and surely we do—and if individual Taliban leaders aren’t really sure what the others are doing, then even a fake Taliban talker might do the trick. Isn’t it possible the false Mansour served our interests–by putting the real Taliban leaders “on edge,” worried that some of their colleagues might be cracking? If the fake Mansour didn’t exist, it might be worth paying someone take the role, no?”
After flaunting its military surge and much publicized operations in Helmand and Kandahar, the enemy has realized that their increased military presence has actually backfired by inciting resistance to their presence even in areas that were relatively peaceful in the past. By their own admission, attacks on the foreign forces from April to October 2010 have increased by 300% compared to the same period in 2009. By the Grace of Allah, the Operation Al Fath (Operation Victory) has successfully been forging ahead. Next phase of the Mujahideen operations, as pointed out by the Commander of the Faithful, will deal dashing blows at the enemy, Inshallah.
In the recent Nato summit in Lisbon, the occupying Nato forces confirmed the end of 2014 as their final withdrawal date from Afghanistan. Since the invaders has proved unable to defeat then Mujahideen militarily (as they themselves admit), they are trying fatuously to create dissension and distrust among the ranks of Mujahideen by spreading the rumor of talks. After the 9/11 attacks on America, the United States did not bother to open a comprehensive and neutral investigation of the 9/11 event to find the real culprits but instead of presenting concrete evidence, the Americans simply said that the Afghans should give in to their demands or they will invade our country. Soon, they started a barbaric aerial bombardment of Afghanistan, without regard to any principle of International law. The Nato allies, repeating mistakes of past empires, considered Afghanistan as a weak nation that they could invade and utilize for their designs in the region.
After the fall of Kabul, the Amir ul Mumineen, Mullah Muhammad Mujahid, in an interview with BBC Radio had predicted that Afghanistan would prove as a graveyard of the American Empire. Today, the Americans have been in Afghanistan for more than nine years, the same length of time that the Soviets had been in Afghanistan, and they are in no better condition than the Soviets. Their puppet regime is weak and corrupt and holds no sway beyond Kabul. They have displaced hundreds of thousands of innocent Afghan civilians; tens of thousands of Afghans have fallen prey to the enemy’s indiscriminate bombing, and an even higher number have been wounded by them.
Their brazen lies about the ground realities have spiraled to such an extent that even their puppet President does not believe in them anymore. But most important of all, the myth of American supremacy has been shattered. America has been demoted from a supposedly “hyper-power” or “super-power” to just another regional power, unable to impose its will on other nations without the backing of other regional powers. The irony is that America was instigated into attacking Afghanistan by other regional powers, and Americas presence in the country served their interests more than it served America’s interests. And today, because of their military and political losses in Afghanistan, America does not have the strength and stomach to confront their real enemies. America’s invasion of Afghanistan will be judged as a unique moment in history when America abandoned its own principles of “Realpolitick” and decided to pull someone else’s chestnut out of the fire. The longer it stays in this fire, the more it will be burnt.

New statement from the Spokesman of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Usage of Poisonous Chemical Weapons in Afghanistan by the Invading Americans"
NOTE: This message is from the Afghan Ṭālibān and unedited below.
–
On the basis of evidence, the American invaders have used banned weapons like thermo baric and bunker buster bombs against defenseless civilian Afghans in various parts of
the country in the past few years under the pretext of eradicating Mujahideen. Many congenital deformities have occurred in infants in every part of the country as a result of the usage of the chemical weapons. Furthermore, the residents have been suffering from various diseases.
As a proof, we would like to refer to the following documents:
1. An Afghan investigative research scholar, Dr. Mohammad Daud Miraki conducted field research in the southern provinces of the country. He accumulated enough empirical evidence regarding the use of poisonous weapons in the area.
2. In 2002, a research team of Canadian Medical Research Center visited southern provinces of Afghanistan and found that the magnitude of uranium isotopes in the inhabitants was soaring between 300 and 2000 nanograms while the accepted limit is 10 nanograms.
3. The Al-alam TV website has posted a video report about newly-born infants suffering from deformities and abnormal body parts caused by the usage of biological weapons. See http:\www.alalam.ir/node/307570.
4. A Senior official of the Kabul Regime’s Ministry of Health told media some times ago that they had obtained evidences, indicating that the Americans had used depleted uranium munitions and phosphorus bombs in Tora bora in east Afghanistan in 2001. Deformed infants have been born in the area or some have deformed body parts or suffering from weightlessness or mental retardation. Diseases like leukemia( blood white cells disease) is widespread in the area. Sperms ” infertility” malfunction in males have been noticed. Many persons have died without an open wound.
All Americans military and civilian rulers are held responsible for these anti-human crimes. Ironically, still, the crimes have been continuing in Afghanistan at the hands of the invading Americans and their coalition forces, in a time that many human rights organizations including those of the United Nations and the Human Rights Watch have presence in the country.
To fulfill its responsibility, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls on all human rights organizations and other relevant entities, organizations and independent personalities to take steps, as a part of their responsibility, to impede those who are involved in human rights violations and bring them to human rights crimes tribunals. Moreover, speed up efforts aimed at disseminating awareness and unearthing more cases of crimes against humanity.

New interview from the Islamic Emirate Of Afghanistan: "An In-depth Interview With Hajjī Aḥmad Sa'īd, Head Of Operations In Kandahar City"

Zilhajj 04, 1431 A.H, Thursday, November 11, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The recent operations in the province of Kandahar, by the enemy I.S.A.F forces are viewed by the western-orientated media, as the last military push against the Mujahideen. The majority of them are of the opinion that should these operations fail as well; the Americans would have no other option but to leave Afghanistan.
The enemy admits, that the essential objective of this operation is to prevent the collapse of Kandahar city (which is Afghanistan’s second largest city) to the Mujahideen forces. To achieve this, the enemy, besides conducting operations in the districts surrounding Kandahar city, has now also started military operations in the city centre as well. To find out exactly what impact these operations have had on the Mujahideen forces, we talked to Haji Ahmad Saeed, who is in charge of Mujahideen military operations in Kandahar city. This detailed interview is presented below.
Alemarah: First of all, please give us some general information of the recent operations of the invading forces: what are some of the activities the invaders have undertaken?
Haji Ahmad Saeed: All Praise is to Allah, Kandahar city, which has in the past many years, bore witness to some of the Mujahideen’s greatest operations and bravery, has seen sustained attacks by Mujahideen warriors. These attacks have caused our internal and external enemies’ to panic, to the point of admitting that could very well fall to the banner of Islamic Emirate’s soldiers. Since then, the enemy has completely revised its strategy, focusing almost exclusively on Kandahar city and its surrounding regions. In line with this strategy, the enemy has increased its presence in the region considerably.
This increase has been witnessed in the city centre as well, where the enemy has increased its infantry and motorized battalions. They have also carried out large scale raids against civilian population by surrounding entire districts, then carrying out house to house searches for weapons and Mujahideen. They have also started operations in regions that are under Mujahideen control. They have infested the city centre with numerous foreign and army outposts, besides the normal police stations. They have set up more and more check points on the roads and increased their intelligence gathering spy-rings. All this has given Kandahar city the appearance of a city under siege.
The enemy has caused all this commotion and carried out these measures to stop our activities in the region but Alhamdulillah and again Alhamdulillah, as our recent operations in the heart of the city have shown, the enemy has utterly failed in this objective. Even the westerners’ own governmental and non-governmental agencies confirm our success by stating that Mujahideen activities in Kandahar, instead of decreasing, have increased by over twenty-four percent.
Alemarah: The enemy invaders claim that they have set up a belt our Kandahar city to choke the movements of Mujahideen into and out of the city. What information do you have regarding this?
Haji Ahmad Saeed: It is true that the enemy has set up various check points on the roads leading into the city and on the main highways and constructed some ten large army stations. One of these army posts is on the Panjwaee road near Kobai; another is one the way from Khanjakak towards Soop; another is on the Heart road near Seelo; another is on the Arghandab road near Mir Ahmad Khan’s Kalachi; one near Kotal, one on Shah Wali Kote road, on Kabul road near Ainoominy; on the Boldak road from Shurandam towards the city. They have also set up two new army posts on the roads leading from Mahlajat. All these outposts have some of the most high-tech detection and identification tools available to the west.
Yet despite this they have never captured any of our Mujahideen, nor detected any explosive-laden vehicle. Everyday our explosive filled vehicles pass over these army checkpoints and army posts without being detected or captured. This is all by the Grace of Allah who has favoured us in all opportunities. The enemy’s so called ‘belt’ has achieved no other purpose besides harassing the local populace. As you can see, our attacks on the city have increased rather than decrease. Therefore this belt is no impediment to the Mujahideen operations and its purpose has been inflated far beyond its capabilities.
Alemarah: How are Mujahideen’s operations inside Kandahar city?
Haji Ahmad Saeed: In the city, as of old, as soon as darkness spreads the stooge governments rule comes to an end, our battalions start their patrols and our operations begin. At night, we set up our ambushes on all the major roads, sealing the enemy inside their outposts. Due to our ambushes, now the enemy has accepted that they cannot provide support to their other outposts if and when they get attacked. Similarly, the Mujahideen always watch their activities during day time. Everyday enemy spies and soldiers are shot dead by our snipers. Several days ago, on the Kandahar bypass road, Mujahideen conducted searches of cargo trucks finding and subsequently burning those trucks carrying supplies to enemy soldiers. All this proves that the Mujahideen have the capabilities and willingness, to conduct operations in the city according to their own initiative, while the enemy has lost all morale and determination to fight.
Alemarah: It is said that since this new operation was launched, many innocent residents have gone missing, some of whom have subsequently been found and have reported to have been kidnapped by American and puppet government officers. What information do you have regarding this?
Haji Ahmad Saeed: It is true that the enemy has arrested many innocent people, the majority of whom are still suffering in prisons. These people have been arrested by government intelligence services as well as by various local militias. Many of them have been arrested due to personal or tribal rivalries. These incidents require a thorough investigation because many of these innocent arrestee’s have often been tortured to death without any legal process. These are all innocent Afghan civilians whose death should be investigated by all Afghan and global societies.
Alemarah: Enemy has been announcing recently that they have captured a large cache of weapons, explosives and mines from the Mujahideen. What is your information regarding this?
Haji Ahmad Saeed: This is yet another of the enemy’s baseless claims. We have not yet faced a situation where the Mujahideen’s weapons or mines have been captured due to the enemy’s intelligence gathering. However, it has sometimes happened that some of our mines have failed to explode due to some technical or electronic failure. These have subsequently fallen into enemy hands further inflating their egos.
Alemarah: The issue of civilian casualties is hotly debated in Kandahar. The enemy propaganda claims that civilians are often killed in Mujahideen operations. What do you have to say about this?
Haji Ahmad Saeed: I, as the head of Kandahar operations, feel very sensitive to this issue, first in front of Allah and then in front of our Afghan people. If we did not fear for causing harm to our own people then our operations in Kandahar would be ten times more than they are today. We have always tried our best to completely end any civilians casualties on our part. We often have had to cancel our operations when we fear the possibility of civilian casualties. On the other hand, the enemy always seeks to stay and move in our population centres so that if Mujahideen attack them, any resulting civilian damage would be blamed on the Mujahideen. As much as we want to attack the enemy, we know that they want to use our people as human shields for their protection and therefore we abstain from confronting them in these areas.
Alemarah: Partly as a result of the recent operations and partly due to the targeted killings of government workers, some people in Kandahar are beginning to think that these shootings and bombings are random and indiscriminate. For this reason these people are very fearful of the present situation. What is your message to these people
Haji Ahmad Saeed: I want to tell these people that if they are not government workers then they should be completely calm and relaxed. The operation in Kandahar are not random and spirit of the moment operations, instead each step is thoroughly planed and meticulously executed. The Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate first conduct thorough background research into their targets and when their relationship with the puppet government and their foreign paymasters is fully confirmed, do they proceed to punish these collaborators. Only once during my term has one of our Mujahids mistaken an innocent person (who fully resembled

Zul Qadah 21, 1431 A.H, Saturday, October 30, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Zhiri district is located to the south of Kandahar-Herat main highway and has been a solid base and under the control of Islamic Emirate Mujahideen for the past 9 years. Previously the invaders only had outposts on the main highway but due to the recent operations have expanded those to Pashmool and Sanzari areas. For recent information on the situation in the district, Alemarah interviewed the Military commander for this district, Mullah Ateequllah Agha.
Alemarah: Can you please give us information about the recent enemy operation and on the situation in the district?
Mullah Ateequllah Agha: As you might already know that Zhiri is known as the most hostile district for the enemy for the past 9 years and especially Sang-e-Sar and Pashmool areas where the enemy has not been able to take over and has proved very deadly for its forces. The southern parts of the districts have been completely under our control which the enemy has never even attempted to enter.
The enemy was real frustrated due to the constant attacks by Mujahideen on the main highway which immensely disrupted the movement of their military and logistical convoys and therefore started the huge push towards Sang-e-Sar, Pashmool and Sanzari areas by bringing hundreds of tanks, foot soldiers bombing the areas by Jets, cruise missiles etc. Due to their cruel and barbaric blind bombings, the residents of Pashmool and Sanzari have fled during a time when they were supposed to collect their harvests. Mujahideen countered their strategy by adopting guerilla warfare from which the enemy has suffered more damage than at any other time. You might have heard through the media of the tanks being blown up every day in Pashmool and Sanzari areas and the retaliatory ambushes and attacks against their foot patrols. Similarly the invaders arrested civilians after forcing their way into their homes at night.
So due to our resistance, the enemy has not gained any ground in some parts and in others where they have gains some ground, it has come after much suffering and deadly losses. Overall the enemy’s force is winded up, they have only added 2 outposts each in Pashmool and Sanzari areas and the Mujahideen numbers which were decreased for the initial enemy push have returned back to their normal levels.
Alemarah: How much new ground has the enemy gained from this operation?
Mullah Ateequllah Agha: The enemy has not gained an inch of territory in Sang-e-Sar, which is only 100 meters away from the main highway. They have gained some ground in Sanzari but after intense bombing and making headway by demolishing people’s homes, fields and other property. They also made ground towards the south of Pashmool up to Rod area but in all areas the advance has been short term because they have all returned to the 4 new outposts made in civilians homes and all their military equipment has also been vacated from the rest of the regions.
Alemarah: It is said that the enemy has severely bombed the areas bringing huge destruction to the civilians?
Mullah Ateequllah Agha: Like in the rest of Kandahar province, Zhiri has also experienced enormous destruction to civilian property from the barbaric enemy. Although the exact facts and figures have not been compiled but I will summarize some of the damage done that we have witnessed in a few points.
1. Nearly 80% of civilians have become homeless due to the ruthless bombings from cruise missiles, canon rounds and other types of bombs dropped in all of Zhiri from Kandahar airfield. The civilians have also suffered deaths and nearly all of the people’s homes and other property have been completely destroyed.
2. Hundreds of homes have been utterly demolished in the area between the main highway and Wyala of Sang-e-Sar as the enemy claims that their convoys and bases are always attacked from this area.
3. The barbaric enemy has filled streams with dirt, demolished homes and blown apart all the greenery in Pashmool, Sanzari, Syachowi and also the other areas to make new roads due to the other roads being completely mined.
4. In all these areas, the enemy has destroyed homes with all its belongings inside. The homes were either already abandoned and if they weren’t, they would force its owners to leave by bulldozing the property’s walls.
5. The enemy has dropped types of bombs which have created massive craters and which have also burnt people’s fields and plants so to make an alternative way to enter due to fear of mines being placed on the main roads.
6. In this process, the enemy has Martyred, wounded and imprisoned countless civilians but we don’t have their exact figures.
Alemarah: The enemy claims to have caused Mujahideen many casualties, killed their leaders and also broken their hold on the district?
Mullah Ateequllah Agha: So far 10 Mujahideen have been Martyred which includes a group’s leader and he was not Martyred in Zhiri but rather in Reag district by a night raid. In contrast, the enemy has suffered immense casualties as you might also have heard from the media.
Alemarah: How do you see the result of the current situation and the operations result?
Mullah Ateequllah Agha: The current situation does not differ a lot from the situation before the operation began. Our groups in Pashmool and Sanzari have become active like before and like before, the enemy is always attacked as they come out of their newly built outposts in these areas and also the ones built on the main highway. The only result coming out of the operation is the death and destruction caused to the civilians which deplorably, the foreign and domestic media have been silent about.

Zul Qadah 18, 1431 A.H, Wednesday, October 27, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
As the readers of Alemarah website might know, a major enemy offensive has been ongoing in Kandahar province for the last one and a half months. Lately the enemy, through its biased media, claims to have rid the surrounding districts of Mujahideen, and to have gained substantial ground against Mujahideen in these areas. Alemarah recently had the opportunity to interview the district commander of Dand district, Mullah Abdullah Mubarak and ask him questions regarding the reality of the situation.
Alemarah: Firstly, could you tell us about the ongoing enemy operations in Dand district and how they came about?
Mullah Abdullah Mubarak: Dand district is located close to Kandahar city, and has a large number of Mujahideen operating inside it. The enemy became frightened that they might, just like Dand, lose Kandahar city to the Mujahideen and started preparatory operations in this district in the month of Ramadan. Enemy soldiers entered Mahlajat, Chalghor, Nakhoni, Khanjakak, Zila Khan and Salawat areas by helicopter and in huge numbers. The Mujahideen, decided to use guerrilla warfare tactics to cause them maximum damage.
We decided to mine all the main roads. When the enemy could not make any inroads, they bulldozed local’s farms and fields so as to gain at least some ground. These attempts proved futile and they suffered massive casualties when the Mujahideen mined there too, and conducted ambushes and missile attacks also. To put it bluntly, a day hasn’t passed, that at least 4 to 10 blasts haven’t detonated their patrols. The enemy then decided to randomly bomb the area using cruise and other missiles which killed civilians and destroyed their homes and fields. Many were forced to flee the district. After these criminal attacks, the enemy took local houses for their military barracks. The enemy has now abandoned most of these barracks. But in the areas they still occupy, they have neither come out, nor can they come out, due to heavy mining and Mujahideen ambushes. But even these bases are located in places where logistics and supply will be a big problem.
Alemarah: It is said that the civilians are the only ones who have been affected by this operation. Could you elaborate on this?
Mullah Abdullah Mubarak: To sum up the genocidal behavior of the enemy in one sentence: These kinds of crimes against civilians have not been seen before in history. I swear by Allah that so far only 5 of our Mujahideen have been Martyred, 3 have been injured and none have been captured. But the prison of Kandahar has been filled with civilians. I would like to summarize these crimes against the civilians of Dand by giving a few examples:
1. When the enemy came to Mahlajat in the morning, they blocked all the roads and blindfolded all who came their way. Nearly all the locals of Dand have shops in the city where they sell fruits and vegetables. Throughout the day the barbarians handcuffed and imprisoned around 300 civilians they called Taliban.
2. A few days earlier, the American invaders besieged Ghra and Mahi Village located in Zila Khan area of Dand district. Most people had left these villages. Ninety-seven people mostly village elders and children remained. Even these were not spared – they were stripped, blind folded, imprisoned, then released after 12 days of enduring many hardships.
3. All the new enemy barracks are in civilian houses and on their lands. They have bulldozed locals’ lands, fields, farms and houses as they try to make inroads against the Mujahideen. Some 500 homes and shops have been bulldozed in Nakhoni area alone. Similar crimes has been carried out in Khanjakak, Chalghor and all the other areas. They recently blew up local raisin houses in Chalghor. Nearly all incidents involve the demolition of homes with everything inside it.
Alemarah: The enemy says that they have killed and captured many Mujahideen and their leaders and destroyed many of their bases. How much of this is true?
Mullah Abdullah Mubarak: The American invaders decided that they would make check points in close proximity by destroying the homes and fields of civilians and this would rid the area of Mujahideen. They did not count on the Mujahideen’s guerrilla tactics. Now the enemy is trapped in barracks in various areas, with no control beyond 50 meters of their posts, and thus cannot come out. As for our casualties, only 5 Martyred, 3 wounded and no leaders killed or captured.
Alemarah: How has this operation affected the Mujahideen and what do you say about the claims of Ahmad Wali Karzai that Mujahideen bases have been destroyed throughout Dand and Kandahar?
Mullah Abdullah Mubarak: I don’t know how Ahmad Wali can make such claims. He cannot sleep in his own house due to constant Mujahideen attacks on it. If he was really honest in his claims then let him just once walk freely in Kandahar city let alone Dand and Panjwaee districts. All these claims are false. And the number of our groups and bases have not decreased compared to spring and summer time. Initially, due to the enemy operation, we decreased the number of Mujahideen but now that the enemy has tired and lost morale, these Mujahideen are returning because enemy numbers have become vast and much easier to target. I want to congratulate the nation for this victory. Our Mujahideen have not suffered any serious damage and the enemy cannot sustain this large force for long – especially with logistics of their newly built bases and barracks becoming harder to supply.

New interview with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Laghman province Military Commander, Mawlawī Najībullah Haqqānī

Zul Qadah 01, 1431 A.H, Sunday, October 10, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Laghman province is located in the East of the country. To the north are Panjsheer and Nooristan. To the east in Kunar, to south is Nangarhar and to the west are Kabul and Kapisa provinces. Laghman’s provincial capital is Muhtarlam City and it has 4 other districts namely Qarghaye, Daulat Shah, Alishang and Alingar. Laghman has a name for its beauty and has strategically important location. It has a mountainous landscape which is covered with trees and jungles.
Jihadi Military Commander
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani is the Jihadi Military Commander of Laghman province under The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. He was born in Moni Village of Shigal district located in Kunar to a Religious and Jihad loving family on 1348 H.S. He did his early education in his village mosque but then immigrated to Pakistan during the Russian led coup, where he studied until 8th grade. Then he began his religious studies and graduated in 1996 (Goergian Calender) from the prestigious Darul Uloom Haqqaniya Akora Khatak.
He was with the Islamic Emirate from its humble beginnings where he participated in the victorious campaigns of Gerishk, Dalaram and Farah province. His first official duty was in Farah Bank and then worked in the Departments of Intelligence, Finance and Information in Kabul. He was the Jihadi military commander in Kunar after the American led invasion and has also done his Islamic duty of Jihad in Nooristan until his appointment at the current position.
Alemarah: Hounarable Mauli Sahib, Asalamalaikum and the warmest of welcomes. Could you please tell our audience the Jihadic situation in Laghman at the moment?
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani: Walaikumsalam
All praise is due to Allah and may his peace and blessings be on the leader of Mujahideen, Muhammad SAW and on his companions. For what follows:
Firstly I would also like to extend by Kindest of regards to the Mujahideen working for Alemarah and its readers and am pleased to have this opportunity to speak to the Momin and Mujahid Ummah about situation of Laghman province. Alhamdulillah the Jihadic situation in Laghman province is very good and according to our expectations. Mujahideen have bases and heavy presence in Muhtarlam City, Qarghaye, Daulat Shah and Alishang districts.
Qarghaye district, in which a large part of Jalalabad-Kabul main highway goes through, is mostly under Mujahideen control just like before. The enemy cannot enter Tor Ghar area of this district, Badpeeh area of Muhtarlam is also under our complete control. Similarly the area in and around the province center is always coming under Mujahideen bombings and assaults. The districts of Alishang and Daulat Shah are under Mujahideen’s complete control. The enemy only has its presence is the district centers. As for Alingar, Mujahideen activity is not as strong and therefore is using guerilla tactics so far.
So Mujahideen are always going forward in their Jihadi activities in Laghman. We have appointed governors and commissions for the various districts and so far don’t have any serious problems regarding our Jihadic progress.
Alemarah: Could you give us information about the presence of invaders in Laghman?
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani: American’s are based in Laghman, just like in other eastern provinces. They have a base in Muhtarlam city and Alishang district center. They also have a PRT in Kala Gosh area between Laghman and Nooristan provinces. They are now busy in building a new base in Kambere area of Qarghaye district.
Alemarah: How many Mujahideen are there in Laghman?
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani: I will not be able to tell you the exact figures due to them being military secrets but can say that Alhamdulillah we have enough of a presence in all the districts that if the enemy tries to come out of their base on patrol or for an operation, Mujahideen can confront and stop them and similarly we have enough logistics to properly equip our Mujahideen and so far don’t have any serious problems in that area.
Alemarah: A very recent event which requires our attention is the operation which was carried out against ANA in Badpeeh area. This is an event which the enemy tried to hide and hasn’t said anything about it till now but an article published in NY times called this a historic victory for the Mujahideen. Could you please tell us about the operation and how Mujahideen were able to cause such damage to the enemy?
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani: Just like you mentioned, this event really was a historic win due thanks to Allah’s help. Recently Mujahideen focused their operations on Jalalabad-Kabul main highway which goes through Laghman. Mujahideen targeted the enemy convoys and patrols which caused the enemy great distress. So the enemy decided to carry out an operation in Badpeeh, where Mujahideen have a big presence. Another important point about this event was that, American’s wanted to test their puppets in order to see if they could carry out a successful operation about which the puppet regime boasted.
So the enemy entered the area on Tuesday, 3rd August 2010 after fully equipping themselves with about 41 armored and other military vehicles which had more than 350 ANA puppets. When the enemy entered the area in the morning, Mujahideen contacted me and said that they do not have enough supplies to combat them but did so anyway only trusting in the help of Allah. This fierce battle started in the morning and lasted until dusk when the enemy was defeated. Out of the 41 vehicles, only 18 were left which the Mujahideen took as war booty.
Similarly, 75 puppets were left on the battle field after being killed and 25 others were taken as captives but in all this fighting, only 2 of our brothers were Martyred. The Mujahideen who participated in the battle say that they saw the help of Allah SWT because with all the military might of the enemy and the weak state of Mujahideen, they still won the battle and Allah made that day so cloudy that the enemy airpower was rendered useless. Earlier Mujahideen had complained about not having enough supplies and weapons but by the end, they had so many that they asked me what to do with them. So Allah SWT clearly showed them his help and gave them victory after fear of a defeat.
Alemarah: How are other operations going in the other areas?
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani: Alhamdulillah operations are going forward very fast in the areas. Jalalabad-Kabul main highway is always targeted and enemy check posts are also coming under constant assaults. Similarly enemy patrols come under IED attacks and their bases under missile strikes in Alishange. Enemy check posts and bases in Laghman provincial capital are also coming under Mujahideen assaults which you might have heard about through media.
Alemarah: How is the locals help with Mujahideen in Laghman?
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani: The locals of Laghman are a Mujahid people. They have given us places in their homes. The reason why the enemy cannot weaken the Mujahideen resistance is a clear manifestation of their help and we are thankful of Allah for this and are show immense pride in the help of locals.
Alemarah: To end, as a Commander of Laghman province, do you have a message to the Afghan population, similarly to Mujahideen and the enemy as well in which we can help to reach your voice?
Mauli Najeebullah Haqqani: To Mujahideen: Make your focus only to Allah’s and make his happiness your first and foremost goal. Listen and obey your leaders and treat the people with a good manner. Be very patient with the Muslims population and forgive them for we need their help because any Islamic movement which has succeeded or is succeeding, it’s due to the help of the local Muslims.
To the Mujahid Afghan people: Do not be fooled by the so called democracy and nation building lies of the enemy. Just like how you have given a place to the Mujahideen in your breasts, similarly help out physically and financially.
To the puppet ANA: Do not fight for the wrong group who only use you as for their stingy goals. Think. We captured 25 of your ANA puppets and asked the invaders for a swap of prisoners but to our surprise, they did not only want to do a prisoner swap but told us to kill the ones we have. But we released them as a favor. You must know that with all the sacrifices you make, you still don’t have any importance to your masters.
To the invaders: You should look at the realities, read the history of this nation and then revisit your strategy. They should know that with all their might they will not succeed in subduing us through your illegitimate invasion. Today or tomorrow you will be forced to flee just like your predecessors the USSR. And a message to their leaders is, to stop wasting your money on failed operations here and instead use that money on your people and their development. Leave us alone so we can live in peace under Islam Sharia.

Shawwal 23, 1431 A.H, Sunday, October 03, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
As you all might know, for the past 2 weeks the US invaders have launched an operation (Dragon Strike) in Kandahar province so Alemarah website interviewed Kandahar provinces military commander, Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond to update us on the situation.
Alemarah: Respectable Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond, Asalamalaikum.
What is the current situation in Zhiri, Dand, Maiwand and surrounding areas according to the information you have received?
Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond: Walaikumsalam wa Rahmatullah e wa Barakatuh.
All praise is due to Allah and may his peace and blessings be on the beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and for what follows:
All praise is due to Allah, the enemy have not gained any significant ground against Mujahideen in Zhiri, Dand and Maiwand districts so far in the 2 week of constant bombings and land assaults on Mujahideen areas.
The enemy’s intent was to take control of Sang-e-Sar, Pashmool and Sanzari areas of Zhiri district from Mujahideen and then move on to the southern areas all the way up to the border of Panjwaee district. But Alhamdulillah, due to the zeal and bravery of Mujahideen and their stiff resistance, they have not been able to achieve any of their goals so far. Their armored tanks and vehicles are still parked on the spot of their arrival on Kandahar-Herat main highway just outside Sang-e-Sar area.
For the past 2 days, US forces and their puppets have started a massive push into Pashmool area, which is only about 2-2.5 km2, using land and air power in a bid to secure the area. They have only been successful in taking control of Lalajan Paich region but have been coming under deadly attacks even today especially near Zirh Maktab area, in which powerful blasts detonated on them, causing them fatal losses, for which medical helicopters landed 4 times to airlift the dead and wounded. In these 2 days, the enemy has been violating all norms and have been bombing and demolishing houses, trees, fields and farms of locals in order to clear the way for themselves.
Close to Pashmool is Sanzari area, in which the enemy have forcefully taken over 2 civilian houses and made them into their check posts while the rest of their military convoy has retreated back to their bases but even those check posts were targeted by Mujahideen mortars yesterday.
Dand district is in a similar situation. The enemy have their forces stationed in Nakhoni, Zalkhan and Khanjakak areas but cannot move forward any further due to the constant fear of ambushes and IED’s. The invaders also face fatal losses in this district from IED attacks on a daily basis.
As for Maiwand, the enemy forces which came out for the operation have returned back to their bases. They have built a new base in Kala Shamir area and it looks of things they have ended their campaign there.
Alemarah: What do you think the aim of this operation is and how much of their goals have the enemy achieved?
Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond: Our thinking is that the enemy is trying to secure Kandahar city, Kandahar-Herat main highway and all the roads leading to enemy bases in Panjwaee, whose security is deteriorating and is in danger of collapse. Therefore the enemy has launched the operation in a bid to weaken Mujahideen’s military power in Dand, Panjwaee, Zhiri, Maiwand and Arghandab districts, which are in a close proximity to the city and are either fully under Mujahideen control or Mujahideen have a heavy presence in them.
In order to achieve their goals, the enemy planned to dig ditches and cordon off the area using barbed wire around Maiwand and Zhiri districts and also between Panjwaee’s Spirwan area and Dand district in order to restrict Mujahideen movement. But all praise is due to Allah, and with his help, the enemy has not gained any ground of much significance. Mujahideen have tactically retreated from the areas which they have entered but are causing the enemy great suffering and losses in well planned IED attacks and ambushes.
Alemarah: How much have the Mujahideen been effected by the operation?
Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond: The enemy’s failure to gain much ground or momentum is the sign of Mujahideen’s heavy presence and activeness in the areas. The only difference now is that Mujahideen don’t move around in huge numbers and they don’t have clear frontlines but have opted to fight using guerilla tactics.
Mujahideen have returned back to their normal assaults in the area around Sanzari and Maiwand because the fighting has become minimal. In fact, just yesterday Mujahideen attacked a NATO logistical supply convoy, in which a large number of vehicles were burnt in the area between Dand and Maiwand districts. This is the area which the enemy claims to have taken over in the past few days as a result of their operation.
Alemarah: You say that the enemy has launched this operation to secure Kandahar city center. Has this effected your operations there?
Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond: Alhamdulillah our operations are still going on at the same pace as before. In the past couple of days there have been many blasts and missile strikes in and around Kandahar city center, which even the media picked up so basically they themselves are a witness to our claims.
Alemarah: To end, could you please share a story about any astounding Mujahideen incident which might affect the hearts of our viewer’s.
Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond: There are many amazing and astounding incidents but the one worth mentioning is in which the help of Allah was seen by Mujahideen. A Kandahar puppet government official for Haj and Awqaf was killed in a blast a while back. His sons name was Mukhlis, who was an active member of the puppet Intelligence agency. A few days ago, Nazik, the so called governor of Dand district captured 2 Mujahideen and gave them to Mukhlis, who wanted revenge for the death of his father. So Mukhlis along with 3 of his body guards put the Mujahideen in a vehicle and tried to take them to a desert where he would brutally Martyr them. On the way the vehicle stopped working so Mukhlis along with his gunmen got off the vehicle and tried to fix the problem. At this moment one of the Mujahideen released his hands from handcuffs, snatched the weapon of one of the bodyguards and shot dead all 4 puppets on the spot. In this way Allah relieved both of the Mujahideen from their hardship.
Alemarah: Thank you very much
Mullah Muhammad Isa Akhond: And you too
