"Severe damage has been done to the Americans but the
media keeps it in the dark," says Taliban Interior
Minister
QUETTA (Islam News): The Interior Minister of
Afghanistan says that it is absolutely ridiculous and
baseless that the Americans, resting in a desert, 220
miles away from Kandahar claim to have captured the
city of Kandahar. Similarly, the Pashtun claim to have
captured Kadahar is based on false reports. He further
said that the local and the international media reveal
only one side of the picture, but the truth is that
heavy damage has been done to the Americans in
Afghanistan. In recent operations, Taliban troops
killed 93 Americans and captured six. Dozens of
soldiers were killed in and around Takhta Pul.
Furthermore, an Amercian helicopter was also destroyed
in this battle, but the media continues to keep such
news in the dark. The Minister informed about World
about the wellbeing of the Kandahar Taliban Corps
Commander, Mulla Akhtar Uthmani and Taliban Air Force
Commander, Akhtar Mansoor. According to him, the
Taliban have total control over Spin Boldak and the
news about the retreat of the (local) Taliban
commander in Spin Boldak is incorrect.
Dalbandin and Jacobabad Stink Due to the Smell of
Rotting American and British Troops
JACOBABAD (KPI): There has been a marked shortage of
chemicals in Jacobabad and Dalbandin, which serve to
preserve the dead bodies of the American and British
soldiers reaching these two cities. As a result of
this, the atmosphere around the airbases in these
towns is giving off a foul stench due to the rotting
of these corpses. According to the latest news from
the information office at Swat, the British and
Americans are very much disturbed because they do not
want to send these bodies to their countries, thus
creating panic and uncertainty in their people.
Therefore they are trying all possible means to
preserve these bodies, but obviously all these means
will prove to be shortlived. It has also been reported
that numerous coffins have been sent to these areas.
On the one hand, the Americans are making every
possible effort not to disclose the deaths of their
soldiers in Afghanistan, while on the other hand their
families are busy preparing for the celebrations of
Christmas back home.
"Jihad Will Continue Even if Usama is Martyred"
Al-Qaeda
KUWAIT (Al-Watan): Al-Qaeda has once again expressed
its firm determination that the Jihad will not come to
a stop, not even if Usama Bin Laden is martyred.
Another Usama will appear to impart the teachings of
Jihad and the rebirth of Usama will continue each time
the former Usama is martyred. Sulaiman Abu Ghaith,
Al-Qaeda spokesman, said in an interview to Kuwaiti
newspaper, Al-Watan, that he condemned the Government
of Kuwait for the cancellation of his citizenship. He
further expressed his firm determination for striving
for the noble cause of Jihad in future, for the sake
of Allah and Islam. Earlier, Al-Qabaas News (Kuwait)
issued a news report about Sulaiman Abu Ghaith being
injured or martyred by the American attacks, but
Al-Watan News (Kuwait) confirmed his wellbeing from
the Taliban.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OF 'DAILY ISLAM' WITH TALIBAN
COMMANDER IN KUNDUZ, MULLAH DADULLAH
KANDAHAR: Mullah Dadullah, the senior guerrilla
commander of the Taliban arrived in Kandahar from
Kunduz last week. He is a warrior of great courage,
firm determination and par excellence. He is believed
to be the biggest threat and enemy to the Northern
Alliance who declared him as one of their most wanted
men. His narrow escape from the clutches of the
Northern Alliance in Kunduz is an amazing miracle in
itself and indeed a blessing of Allah.
DAILY ISLAM: Don't you think the retreat of the
Taliban has increased the morale of the Americans?
MULLAH DADULLAH: No, this is not the case. The
Americans are very well aware of the courage and
determination of the Taliban fighters, and with the
strength with which they all withstood the American
attacks over Mazar-i- Sharif for a whole month. We
heard a Northern Alliance commander say to another on
the wireless radio that an American said to him that
ever since they have started their war against the
Taliban, they have realised how courageous and brave
these people (Taliban) are, and if they continue to
fight with the same valour, we will never be able to
win the war against them.
DAILY ISLAM: Weren't you a part of the treaty between
the Taliban under the leadership of Mullah Fazal and
the Northern Alliance (to vacate Kunduz)?
MULLAH DADULLAH: To tell you the truth, I do not trust
the Northern Alliance at all. To avoid any disputes, I
told Mullah Fazal that may Allah reward you for your
pure intentions, grant me the permission to fight the
enemies of Allah. In case of survival, I'll be a
warrior (Mujahid), otherwise a martyr, and indeed
martyrdom is my intense desire. The aim of Mullah
Fazal was to defend and safeguard the fellow troops
because he has great fondness and love for the
Mujahideen. I pray to Allah to spare him and his
colleagues from the seizure by the enemy so that he
rises once again against the enemies of Islam.
DAILY ISLAM: What do you say about the battles in and
around Mazar-i- Sharif?
MULLAH DADULLAH: We have fought many fierce battles at
Mazar-i-Sharif and most of these battles were
historical. In the recent days I had only 500
guerrillas (Mujahideen) and 400 amongst them got
martyred. In addition to this, 300 of the Mujahideen
who were with Mullah Naafiz's platoon got Shaheed.
Inspite all of this, we continued to fight with the
same spirit and valour, and the fact is that the tree
of Islam cannot be nourished and flourished EXCEPT
with the blood of the martyrs.
DAILY ISLAM: Why did the Taliban retreat from
Mazar-i-Sharif? Was it due to heavy bombardment and
fierce attacks?
MULLAH DADULLAH: No, this wasn't the reason. The
reason was that some of the local commanders came
under pressure of US threats and they sold themselves
in exchange of few dollars. Therefore in these
circumstances we didn't have any option other than
leaving Mazar-i-Sharif. Ameer-ul-Mumineen ordered us
to leave the North, but we made some decisions
ourselves due to which our brothers were made
captives. Had we acted on the orders of Mullah Umar,
this wouldn't have been the case.
DAILY ISLAM: How is Mullah Umar and the rest of the
leaders?
MULLAH DADULLAH:I met Mulla Umar and the others upon
my arrival in Kandahar and it gave me a lot of
pleasure and contentment of heart. I gave a detailed
account of the conditions in Kunduz and Mazar-i-Sharif
to Ameer-ul- Mumineen. We have had some important
discussions with some senior ministers about the
guerrilla war against the Americans.
The great Taliban commander concluded the meeting by
saying that a Muslim's life is incomplete without
Jihad and that we have been blessed with the
opportunity to fight in the Path of Allah.
