Mujahid Kills Three Northern Alliance Soldiers in
Kabul
KABUL (Islam News): An Arab Mujaahid who was carrying
explosives on his body detonated himself when attacked
by Northern Alliance troops. Instead of surrendering
himself, he preferred to go to Paradise, while sending
the Alliance troops to the Hell-fire (we ask Allah
that it is so).
Brothels and Vulgar Cinemas Re-Open in Kabul and Herat
KABUL, HERAT (Islam News): After the departure of the
Taliban from Kabul and Herat, the vulgarity is rapidly
increasing in these areas. Saunas and swimming pools
which the Taliban closed for women have already been
re- opened by the Northern Alliance. Furthermore,
prostitutes have re-started their activites outside
these swimming pools and saunas. Is this the type of
'modern' Islam that many anti-Taliban hypocrites
amongst the Muslims have been calling for?
Anti-Taliban Pushtun Convoy Destroyed
KANDAHAR: During American bombardment of Kandahar
Province, troops led by anti-Taliban Pushtun, Gul
Agha, attempted an advance from Takhta Pul towards
Kandahar Airport. They were ambushed by units of the
Taliban. Three of their vehicles were destroyed, three
of them were killed and dozens were injured. This was
the first attempted advance on Kandahar Airport and it
was rendered futile by the Taliban. It should be made
clear that there have been many news reports
concerning offensives on Kandahar for quite a few
days. However, all of these reports have been
baseless; the aforementioned attack was the first
attempted advance of the enemy on Kandahar Airport.
Martyrdom Operation Kills Five Americans in Kandahar

QUETTA (Baluchistan Times): Mullah Ameenullah, the
Taliban official for border affairs, reported that
five American Special Forces troops were killed and 20

small Kandahar Airport, 20km from Kandahar city. In
the ensuing firefight, eight of the Taliban were
martyred, may Allah accept them.
FBI Opens Immigration Controls at Karachi Airport,
Pakistan
KARACHI (Daily Jang): The Pakistani newspaper, Daily
Jang, reported over the weekend that the Pakistan
Government, in line with its betrayal of Islam and the
Muslims, has allowed the FBI to open immigration
controls at Karachi International Airport. Their job
is to scan the passports and details of every
traveller leaving Pakistan and check them through
American intelligence computers in case any traveller
is wanted by America for 'Islamic activism'. Further
posts are planned in international airports in Lahore,
Islamabad and Peshawar. This dispels the rumours that
the Pakistan Government was pursuing a double policy
of cooperation with the United States.
