New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Reaction to the False Claims of Resumption of Talks with America"
Some media outlets published reports yesterday that a source (unkown) of Islamic Emirate has told British Channel 4 that talks have resumed between Islamic Emirate and America and that so far 2 meetings have taken place between the two parties all the while these allegations have no basis and are nothing more than baseless claims.
From the day the Islamic Emirate suspended talks with the Americans up until today, all contacts and meetings have ceased between the representatives of America and Islamic Emirate. Just as was stated in the statement regarding suspension of talks with America, the Islamic Emirate will not resume talks until the Americans take constructive steps and fulfill promises which were agreed upon for confidence building.
Due to this, we once again call on all media outlets to follow the ethics of journalism and refrain from publishing such baseless and misleading reports just for propaganda. Before publishing a report, confirmation about its authenticity should be acquired from the spokesman of Islamic Emirate. We have observed some media outlets in the past decade which repeatedly create and publish rumors in order to maintain a malicious propaganda atmosphere.
Hence, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan requests all impartial news agencies to avoid publishing reports sourced from such media outlets associated with known circles without receiving verification from Islamic Emirate while all the accepted rules of journalism should be observed.
Wasalam

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīhullah Mujāhid: "Remarks Regarding the US, Pakistan, and Kabul Three-Cornered Summit"
Viewing its massive military collapse lurking ahead, the U.S, the global invading bully, in futile attempts, latest in series of ineffective efforts to make up for its open and
disgraceful defeat and, in a sense, to protect and bolster its battered prestige and status worldwide in a face-saving way, apparently opened a trilateral conference thursday in Islamabad which was participated by delegations from Pakistan and Kabul stooge administration who agreed on establishing a sub group to look at ways to provide safe passage and facilitate the Mujahideen kowtowing to US demands in the name of supposed reconciliation talks.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, hereby, strongly denounce such foul and horrendous rift-creating attempts and express its remarks as follows:
Precisely, it is an acknowledged fact that the Islamic Emirate is engaging in Jihad for a higher and sacred cause and drive and there is none in the ranks of Mujahideen who may deviate from his supreme command and leadership of the Islamic Emirate, broadly speaking, from the teachings of Islam in return for the few dollars, positions, status and ranks and bow to the invading enemy. Failure to recognize this phenomenon, so far, may be an indication of sheer ignorance on the parts of the US and its allies, that is, either they are still unaware of this fact, or they just fool themselves by looking at their future in Afghanistan through rose-colored glasses.
Our fight has never been and will never be for the sake of the social status and positions, and monetary incentives nor is it for the sake our own comforts and luxuries. On the contrary, we, as true representatives of a free nation, have combated for more than 10 years against the aggression, operation and evils by the invading forces to uphold the truth so as to achieve our a sovereign independent Islamic country which is our due right.
The enemy’s attempts to put temptation in the ways of Mujahideen and create rifts among their ranks in addition to resorting to any kinds of evil ploys and stratagems rather than weighing and understanding the ground reality are adequate and clear proof of its vulnerability and panic, however, all its schemes and traps are destined to be doomed as they used be over the last 10 years.
The Islamic Emirate, mindful of cunning enemy’s every move and tactic, prefer a way which is in the best interest of our beloved-country by putting Islam before everything else.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Islamic Emirate’s spokesman.

New statement from al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula: "About the Killing of the American Missionary in Ta'iz"
UPDATE 3/23/12 11:51 AM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic statement:
In the name of God the MercifulPraise God that said: And when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slaythe Pagans wherever ye find them, and lie in wait for them ([Al-Tawbah: 5], prayer and peace upon the Messenger of God, saying, (Cleanse the Arabian Peninsula of infidels); and thereafter:
Allah has graced the Mujahideen to kill the American Joel Sharm who was active in Christianization under the cover of education in Ta’ez City. And, accordingly, we assure that we will not allow the missionary programs to continue in the Yemen of faith and wisdom, and we will counter it with all sorts of methods with the help of Allah
We also, on this occasion, remind that America, her citizens and interests are legitimate targets in our Jihad, until America stops her war on Islam and Muslims, starting with supporting the Jews in Palestine and even the crimes that reoccur in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen
