On 14 June 2011, Hama Sultani, the representative for Ghazni province in Karzai’s Council of Deputies, claimed that she had been for some time hosting in her home the leader of the Islamic Emirate along with 12 top military commanders from the Islamic Emirate and that she had requested from this leader a resolution of the Afghan crisis through the conduct of peaceful negotiations with the administration of Hamed Karzai. She claimed that this leader agreed with her peaceful
ideas and he is now awaiting a response from the Karzai government and, for that purpose, is now staying at her house. Anyone who doubts her story can go to her house and see with his own eyes the leader of the Islamic Emirate.
Hama al-Sultani made these statements before the Council of Deputies and a large gathering of correspondents, news agencies and journalists and stated that she 12 times had gone to the Republican Palace with a letter from the Emirate’s leader to Hamed Karzai to conduct peace talks with him but Karzai didn’t want to do that and didn’t believe her statements. Hama Sultani’s comments created a great uproar in the media and on the local satellite networks who conducted multiple interviews with her on this issue. She insists that she is playing host to the Ameer ul-Momineen and twelve of his top ranking military commanders in her home.
The impact of these fantastical comments reached the point where the Islamic Emirate was forced to issue a statement to expose this laughable rumor as a lie. But the perpetrator of these claims is adamant in sticking to her comments and refutes the Islamic Emirate statement on the matter.
When asked by a journalist about the nature of her relationship with the leader of the movement, Hama replied that she became acquainted with him through Abdul Baseer, who is also a parliament deputy from Kunduz province. She claims that the above-mentioned individual was one of the leaders of the Taliban during the movement’s rule in Afghanistan and that later a strong acquaintance developed between them to the point that he came to her house and is now living with her in her house in the capital.
Hama Sultani, who is a Shia woman in her forties, kept the media busy for more than three weeks with her crazy statements and still insists that the Taliban leader is living with her with the purpose of conducting peace talks with the government of Hamed Karzai but that the Karzai government doesn’t want that.
What is even stranger than that is the other group of those deputies against whom was issued an order of expulsion from the Deputies’ chamber because of their fraud in the parliament elections of 2011 and who barricaded themselves in the parliament building, bringing in 140 persons as their armed supporters in rejecting the decision.
An armed group of deputies!!! Led by Zaher Qadeer and calling itself “Defenders of the Law” whose sessions threaten the head of the lackey government Karzai and address him in their media addresses as an agent of the Americans and violator of the law.
These are the stupid mentalities and fantastical ideas of the members of Karzai’s parliament which make small children laugh at their naiveté and idiocy. And these are the ones who regard themselves as running parliament’s affairs and constituting the legal representatives of the Muslim Afghan people.
The Americans are the ones who brought these crazy ideas to the parliament chamber through fraudulent elections on which the United Nations spent 120 million US dollars and 50,000 foreign soldiers were used to conduct them, and all local and global media instruments were used to publicize and promote, etc, etc…
Yes, the enemies impose such odious and frivolous people on Islamic peoples in order to purchase them at a cheap price and use them for the benefit of colonialism when and how they want, not only in Afghanistan but unfortunately throughout the Islamic world.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله وحده والصلاة والسلام على من لا نبي بعده صلى الله عليه وسلم وبعد :
قبل أن نقول أي كلمة في حق الشيخ محمد حسان أو غيره نذكر أننا نعتقد اعتقاد السلف الصالح، وأننا لا يوجد بيننا وبين الشيخ محمد حسان خصومة شخصية أو علاقة على أي مستوى، ولكننا نتابع بعضًا من أحاديثه الكثيرة ولا يختلف أحد معنا في أننا نمتلك حق النقد والتوجيه والتعليق ما دمنا منضبطين بضوابط الشرع الإسلامي من جهة وما دمنا نتكلم بدون تجريح لأحدٍ، ونرفض ابتداء مبدأ تقديس شخص بعينه حيث لا عصمة لأحدٍ بعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، والحمد لله أننا لسنا من المتكلمين في الفضائيات حتى لا يظن أحد أننا نتنافس مع الشيخ حسان أو غيره ولكن نكتب هذه الكلمات البسيطة لننبه الأمة الإسلامية جميعًا على أهمية التفكير بالعقل وفق الضوابط الشرعية من خلال هذه الكلمات، وحتى لا نطيل في هذه المقدمة نقول بعون الله :
1- أن الشيخ/ محمد حسان تناقض بقوة في موقفه مع الحكومة المصرية بل الحكومات العربية قبل ثورة 25 يناير وبعد نجاحها فقبل النجاح، ذهب الشيخ حسان عام (2008م) ومعه بعض السلفيين إلى ( ليبيا ) في شهر رمضان لتوزيع جوائز تحفيظ القرآن الكريم تحت رعاية الأخت! ( عائشة القذافي ) التي تقف الآن في خندق الطاغوت الليبي لقتل الشعب الليبي وقبل هذا كان الشيخ حسان يعلم جيداً أن القذافي علماني ولايحكم بالشريعة الإسلامية وأنه ينكر السنة النبوية تماماً بل إنه إذا تكلم عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يقول عنه إلا كلمة (محمد) فقط دون أدنى توقير بل قال -قاتله الله- أن النبي ساعي بريد، وبالطبع كانت الرحلة إلى ليبيا مدفوعة الأجرة وتكاليف السفر والإقامة …… إلخ.
2- عندما حدثت مشكلة (كامليا شحاتة) التي كانت نصرانية وأسلمت برغبتها وقامت الكنسية بخطفها وقت ذهابها لإشهار إسلامها بل أعلن الأنبا بشوي -المرشح لخلافة شنودة-: أنها محبوسة في أحد الكنائس، بعدها خرج علينا حسان ليعلق تعليقًا أمنيًا على الحدث وليس تعليقاً دينياً حيث قال: “أن ما حدث يمثل اعتداءً على سلطة الدولة”؛ ثم طالب العقلاء من الطرفين بمنع الفتنة بين المسلمين والنصارى، ولم يذكر شيئًا عن الاعتداء على الدين الإسلامي فبدا كأنه رجل أمن وليس برجل دين، أو بتعبيرٍ أدق ينقل ما يريده رجال الأمن، فالمهم عنده هو سلطة الدولة وألا تمس بسوء.
3- لم يكن من عادة الشيخ/ حسان أبدًا مهاجمة الحكومة المصرية لا شرعاً ولا واقعاً ولا يتحدث عن كفر أو ظلم وقعت فيه، بل كان ينتقد أي عمليات تحدث ضد الأمريكان بحجة أنهم مستأمنون دخلوا البلاد بتصريحٍ من (ولي الأمر) إلى أن أغلقوا له قناة الرحمة فهنا ناشد المسؤلين بفتح قناة الرحمة، و أخذ يتوسل ويذكر أنه وقناته لا يتحدثون في السياسة وليس لهم علاقة بأي احتقان طائفي وأنهم لا ذنب لهم حتى تغلق قناة الرحمة، ولم نسمعه يذكر كلمة انتقاد واحدة حتى بذكر الظلم أو بذكر من منع الخير عن الناس!، وقال حسان: “نحن والأمن في خندق واحد” وكأنه يستعطفهم لفتح القناة مرة أخرى، و لكن نظراً لأن إغلاق القنوات كان بطلب من شنودة الذي هدد بإغلاقه القنوات التي تهاجم الكنيسة أثناء قضية إسلام (كامليا شحاتة) فكان من العسير وقتها قبول شفاعته سريعاً.
4- عندما حدثت أحداث التحرير ظل حسان صامتًا بعض الشيء وكأنه يترقب ما ستسفر عنه الأحداث ثم ظهر على قناة المحور – المعروفة بموالاتها للنظام السابق وكل اللقاءات التي تقدمها في هذا الاتجاه تخدم النظام الحاكم- وكان ظهوره مخزيًا لعدة أسباب:
أ- الحديث إلى قناة تدعم النظام دائمًا خاصة من قبل مذيعيها ( الأخ/ سيد! والأخت/ هناء! على حد تسمية حسان).
ب- كانت الأخت هناء بكامل زينتها وشعرها المكشوف وفتحة الصدر المناسبة والشيخ السلفي ينظر إليها دون حرج ولم يرفض مجالستها على هذه الهيئة أو حتى يطلب منها أن تلبس أي شيء ساتر لشعرها وصدرها فهل هذا يليق برجل دين واعظ يحمل لحية كثة ويعتبر قدوة للناس وهو من أبرز من يدعوا إلى الحجاب وإلى غض البصر عن النساء فكيف تساهل حسان بل تساهل وهو يعلم أن الملايين يشاهدون لقاءه!.
ج- قال حسان كلمات خبيثة في لقائه المذكور منها زعمه “أنه يعلم أن هناك (أصوليين) يقفون خلف المتظاهرين في التحرير ولهم أغراض خاصة” وهذا كلام خبيث كاذب و اتضح للجميع كذب ذلك ومن جهة أخرى فكلمة (أصوليين) لا يستخدمها المشايخ ولكن يستخدمها الأمن والعلمانيون وهذا يدل على أن حسان يردد كلام الأمن، ومن العجيب أن يتهم حسان الجماعات الإسلامية بأغراض خاصة وهو يعلم أن كل القضية في التحرير أو غيره من ساحات مصر هي إرادة دفع الظلم والقهر الذي كبت المصريين وعذبهم مدة عقود طويلة و هذا يبين أن حسان شكك في الثورة كما فعل النظام و إعلامه قبل سقوط النظام.
د- قال حسان أيضًا: “لقد سمى الرئيس الشباب بالشرفاء، فلا تلوثوا ما قمتم به.. لا للتخريب.. ولا للتحريق” وهذا كذب من محمد حسان لأن رجال الثورة لم يخربوا ولم يحرقوا بل كان شعارهم وفعلهم هو(سلمية سلمية) وإنما الذي قام بالتخريب والتحريق هم الشرطة والبلطجية الذين أطلقت الشرطة جزء منهم لإحداث بلبلة عامة تجعل الناس تلعن الثورة بمن فيها … إذاً حسان كأنه يوجه خطابا للشباب وكأنهم ارتكبوا جريمة وهو ينصحهم للرجوع عنها.
ه- لم يوجه حسان كلمة واحدة للشرطة التي قتلت الناس بالرصاص الحي وداستهم بالسيارات المصفحة، ونفس الحال لم يوجه حسان كلمة للبلطجية الذين استأجرهم رجال الحزب الوطني لضرب المتظاهرين بالتحرير وهذا يدل على أن حسان يقر بالمنكر و لا يحب أن يغضب النظام والأمن في شيء ويدل على أن حديثه كان متفقاً عليه أمنياً باعتبار أنه كان يوجه الخطاب للمتظاهرين بالتحرير وكأنه يحملهم أعمال القتل والتخريب ولم ينكر على الفاعل الحقيقي لذاته.
و- أثناء تقديم هذا اللقاء حدث قطع لعرض مشهد خارجي وهو لقاء منتقى بدقة مع حوالي ست أو سبع شخصيات من الشارع يتم سؤالهم عن رأيهم فيما يحدث وكلهم يجيبون بإجابة واحدة وهي: (كفاية مظاهرات نريد أن نعود لحياتنا فأنبوبة الغاز ب 45 جنيه والسلع ارتفعت أسعارها والحال يزداد سوء وحرام على من تسببوا في التضييق على الناس)، وكان هذا قبل تنحي مبارك مما يعني امكانية انهيار الثورة.
ز- عرض المذيعين (الأخ سيد والأخت هناء على حسان أن يخطب بالمتظاهرين) ومن الواضح جداً لكل عاقل أنه اقتراح أمني قدمه المذيع العبقري فجأة كأنه اكتشاف اللحظة، ومن الواضح جداً أنهم كانوا يريدون امتصاص الثورة بمثل هذه الشخصية التي لها قدرة واضحة على الخطابة ومخاطبة العواطف حتى يمكن أن يوجه المتظاهرين أو أكبر كمية منهم كما يريد خلال تصدره

PART 1
Kandahar Prison
Kandahar’s main prison is located west of the city in the Sarpoza area, north of Kandahar-Herat highway. It is largest government prison in south Afghanistan, with the capacity to hold thousands of prisoners. The prison comprises several sections surrounded by high and impenetrable walls.
This prison is fundamentally well-built, with high surveillance and watch towers set up at its four corners. It is also surrounded by a number of subterranean walls, further to its high [over ground] walls, to prevent tunnels being dug to the outside.
Despite its strong construction and tight security measures, this prison has become the scene of a wonderful story not only in Afghanistan around the globe. Over the past eight years, political prisoners have been able to escape from this prison only three times. The first time was in June 2003 when Mujahideen prisoners dug a tunnel from inside the prison to the outside, enabling all 45 of this ward’s prisoners to escape via the tunnel. Also in June 2008, the Islamic Emirate launched armed and martyrdom attacks on this prison that resulted in the death of all the prison’s guards and released close to 1,200 Mujahideen prisoners. After this incident, the Americans and Kandahar officials paid close attention to the maintenance and preservation of this prison; Canadian forces trained special policemen to guard the prison, watch towers were increased and monitoring cameras installed; the entire prison was encircled by a deep and wide trench. Despite all these measures, the Mujahideen were able, after long planning, for the third time to release 541 prisoners on 25 April 2011.
Pure Fantasy
One of the Mujahideen in Kandahar city, who by his connections gained full knowledge of the inside and outside of the prison, pondered whether it would be possible to dig a tunnel from the inside of a house on the other side of the street into the prison as a means of releasing the prisoners. This fantasy and vision seemed laughable at first even to its owner; he dared not share his opinion with others, but, after more time and continued thinking, he reached a conclusion. On one of these days, while he was riding a motorcycle with two of his comrades, he shared that view with them. They thought it was impossible and deemed it dangerous to attempt, but they placed their trust on Allah and shared their opinion with the Mujahideen high command in Kandahar and they revealed to their trusted comrades their decision to implement this plan regardless of danger.
Concrete Workshop
Six months ago these Mujahideen rented a house opposite the south corner of Kandahar prison. Initially they built a new room. Then they brought in all necessary equipment and machines to make concrete, hiring a number of workers who worked during the day. But in the afternoon, when the workers left, the Mujahideen stayed under the pretence of serving as guards. It was during that time that they proceeded to dig the tunnel from within the room they had just built.
Hard Work for Four Months
At first, four Mujahideen implemented this process: one of them was to hit with the pickaxe, digging the tunnel, while the other three were to move the soil. The tunnel was narrow and the soil could not be moved out by wheelbarrows, so some operation planners went to the market and bought a number of children bicycles, removing their small wheels and fixing barrows on them. They were able to prepare wheelbarrows that suited their task. Now they filled these barrows with soil, pulling them by a rope to the tunnel opening and collecting the soil there before moving it to the lorry. In the morning, when the dirt trucks headed to the city for its sale, the Mujahideen would bring in their soil-filled lorry and sell the dirt to get rid of it. For two months, four Mujahideen were working in the tunnel digging, then their number increased to eight Mujahideen and they were digging four meters every night. When their continued work reached 100m, they faced the issue of ventilation and lack of oxygen; nevertheless they carried on until cutting a distance of 150m. At this point it was terminally difficult to continue working, due to lack of oxygen, and the work carried on no further. In the beginning they tried a ground fan; it resolved the ventilation issue but it was winter and the cold weather caused headaches. Then they made an air-pumping machine, delivering air by a pipe from the outside to the inside of the tunnel. This was the best method to resolve the ventilation and lack of oxygen – the machine worked quietly by a charged battery. But they then realized the risk of their digging a tunnel under the road that carried the heavy enemy vehicles to the interior of the prison: There was a possibility of a tunnel collapse under intense vehicle pressure. The question was how deep was the tunnel to be dug to exclude that possibility. As an experiment, they parked a lorry atop the tunnel; it suffered no damage, assuring them that it would not suffer because of enemy vehicles. The tunnel was 2.5m deep between the house and the public road, but as a precaution they deepened it further. Four months passed and the tunnel went 220m, a well iron pipe surprised them before realizing it was not a prison pipe but a pipe to a village south of the prison. In fact, the tunnel diggers, having no map, deviated from the correct path to the right, crossing the road and reaching a village close to the prison. Here Mujahideen recognizer that the target could only be reached with the prison map and distance measuring tools.
One and a Half Months of Efficient Work
The tunnel diggers who lost their way and made an extra 120m now downloaded the prison map off the internet and by which were able to pinpoint the prison location. Using earth measurement tools they re-dug at the distance of 100m of the tunnel directly towards the prison. However, with the passing of the winter, night was shorter. Consequently they increased the number of Mujahideen labourers until they reached twenty-one. Furthermore, earth evaporates less in summer, so ventilation was less of an issue, and the work was faster and more efficient. By digging 166m they reached the middle of the prison (it must be added that the Islamic Emirate’s site mentioned the distance dug by Mujahideen including the distance dug by error, giving a total of 360m, when the precise distance, excluding additional distance, was 266m. It is worth noting, however, that the tunnel’s height was 70cm and its width 60cm ). The Mujahideen inmates were in two separate locations within the prison: Most were in the political ward, where they numbered 530, but a small number were in a room called ‘Tawqif Khanah’ [detention room]. The tunnel was dug first towards Tawqif Khanah room, as it held a Mujahid aware of the case. He used to hit the ground for one reason or another so that the tunnel diggers would know whether they were ahead or behind or on target. Thus they were able to pinpoint the place, but for verification they poked a blade into the room, until the prisoner assured them of hitting the target. They moved on to the political ward. Five days produced a further 23m, reaching the political ward, cell 7 of which held two prisoners aware of the case. The aim was to take the tunnel to cell 7. Here again the tunnel diggers wanted to raise a blade to ascertain and avoid any error when opening the tunnel to the prison. The Mujahideen were hesitant: were they underneath cell 6 or 7? To keep the matter secret when the blade would be raised, the two prisoners held a Quran session; all the rooms were vacant, the two aforementioned prisoners left, one to room 6 and the other to room 7. When the blade was raised they realised they were under room 6, contrary to their expectation. Then two further meters were dug until reaching room 7. Now they could not vacate the rooms with the Quran completion excuse again, so the Mujahideen used the afternoon time when prisoners would go out to washing rooms and get prepared for the noon prayer; the blade was raised and it made it successfully to room 7. The opening place was specified for the escape operation day. It should be added that the blade raising operation was made subsequent to a wise and interesting plan: The prison ground was about 2.5m above the tunnel, with the tunnel’s height of 70cm, how a long blade could fit through this tunnel to reach the prison ground? The Mujahideen cut iron blades of 50cm length and joined them together; when they were raising a blade 50cm by a car jack, they would fix to it another blade and raise it by the jack. So for dismantling the blades, they prepared a machine that would be attached to each blade then hit by a hammer downwards. This was how they were able to pinpoint the location precisely.
The Plan to Extract the Prisoners
After construction of the tunnel, the persons responsible for digging finished their work and requested from the Islamic Emirate’s high command guidelines concerning the plan to extract the prisoners. Therefore officials from Kandahar Province’s and high ranking officials of the Islamic Emirate held continuous consultations in order to conduct a secure extraction.
As a result of the consultation, the following plan was adopted. The mastermind of this operation, who on his own swung the pickaxe laboriously to dig 300m of the tunnel, would himself be the commander of the prisoner extraction. During the operation, he would adopt
