KANDAHAR
(Islam News): What follows is the message which Usama Bin Laden conveyed to the
youth of the Muslim Ummah.
"My
beloved brothers in Islam,
Assalamu-alaikum
wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
We
have been struggling right from our youth; we sacrificed our homes, families and
all the luxuries of this worldly life in the path of Allah (we ask Allah to
accept our efforts). In our youth, we fought with and defeated the (former) USSR
(with the help of Allah), a world super power at the time, and now we are
fighting the USA. We have never let the Muslim Ummah down.
We
should realise that this life is temporary and eventually we have to return to
Allah (SWT), the lord of the Heavens and the earth.
"Truly
To Allah we belong and truly, to Allah we shall return."
Muslims
are being humiliated, tortured and ruthlessly killed all over the world and it
is time to fight these satanic forces with the utmost strength and power. Today,
the whole of the Muslim Ummah is dependening (after Allah) upon the Muslim youth,
hoping that they would never let them down.
The
Jihad (fighting in the way of Allah) has become Fard-Ain (obligatory) upon each
and every Muslim. We advise the Muslim youth not to fall victim to the words of
some scholars who are misleading the Ummah by stating that Jihad is still
Fard-Kifayah. The time has come when all the Muslims of the world, especially
the youth, should unite and soar against Kufr and continue Jihad till these
forces are crushed to nought, all the anti-Islamic forces are wiped off from the
face of this Earth and Islam takes over the whole world and all the other false
religions."
"And
fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e.
worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for
Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others
besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do."
[Surah Al-Anfal]
We
ask Allah (SWT) to rank us amongst His Truthful slaves.
Wassalamu-alaikum
wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Your
brother,
Usama
Bin Laden"
Arab
Mujahideen Force America’s agents to Retreat From Tora Bora - Around 200
Killed or Injured
Jalalabad
(Islam News/Radio Report): Arab Mujahhideen in Tora Bora, situated to the south
of Jalalabad, had fierce clashes with the troops of local commanders Haji Zaman,
Hazrat Ali and Zahir, causing them to retreat with heavy casualties. According
to the news report, the enemy troops attacked under the cover of intense
American aerial bombing and heavy artillery including tanks, armoured personal
carriers (APCs), etc. Initially they advanced forward but the Arab Mujahideen
repulsed their attack and they were forced to retreat. According to BBC and
other journalists who visited the region, the Mujahideen had left their posts
for sometime, but when these local commanders advanced, the Mujahideen were able
to push them back and strengthen their control over the region.
According
to a journalist in Tora Bora, Friday’s clashes resulted in death of several
fighters of the Eastern Shura Core Commander Haji Zaman. Six men from Hazrat
Ali’s group were also captured by Arab Mujahideen.
According
to the news received by ‘The Daily Islam’ from Tora Bora, the Jalalabad
government sustained heavy casualties with almost 200 of the agents of America
being killed or severely injured. The source also mentioned that there are
around 600 Arab Mujahideen fighting with great courage despite the intense
bombardment over the last 2 months. The news also said that the Mujahideen had
sent a message to the Jalalabad government through Dr. Amin (a local resident),
saying they had no conflicts with the Afghans and they should not get between
them and the US troops. The Mujahideen will deal with the Americans insha-Allah.
The
Arab Mujahideen wish that American troops would launch attacks themselves so
that they have a chance to fight them face to face. They also wished not to kill
afghans.
There
are no reports of any reply from Jalalabad government to this message so far.
The
bodies of Three American Soldiers Reach Germany
Berlin
(Monitoring Desk): Three bodies of American soldiers have reached Germany, an
international reporting agency said from Lamstein airbase. The agency told that
the bodies were of 2 American green beret soldiers who died in Kandahar and one
was of an American Serviceman who was probably present on USS Kittyhawk and died
in an accident. These bodies were transferred to the cold storage at Lamstein
airbase. The three dead personnel are reported to be 32 year sergeant First
class Daniel Henry from Massachusetts, 28 year old staff sergeant Bren Cody
Procer from California and 39 year old Master sergeant Jefferson Donald Davis
from Tennessee (who served aboard the Kittyhawk).
Arab
Mujahideen Attack Kandahar airport, Gul Agha's Troops Flee
Kandahar
(Islam News): Despite the withdrawal of the Taliban, the American and Coalition
forces kept up the intense bombing in the south of Kandahar airport. Reports
from Kandahar say that about 100 Arabs are fortified inside the airport and
intense fighting is going on between Gul Agha supporters and Arabs. Yesterday,
after the Gul Agha's men captured the airport, the Mujahideen counter-attacked
from the rear causing severe damage, following which Gul Agha's men were forced
to escape from the region.
Most
of the Arab Mujahideen shifted to safer places before the Taliban withdrawal
from Kandahar
Kandahar
(Islam News): At the time of withdrawal of Taliban forces from Kandahar, a large
number of Arab Mujahideen were present. To find out what happened to them and
where they are now, after the withdrawal, Islam News contacted Taliban
representative in Pakistan Mulla Abdus Salam Zaeef. Mulla Zaeef said that the
Mujahideen had been present in Kandahar and nearby areas but they had shifted to
safer places on Thursday, and those who remained in Kandahar were very few.
Other Taliban officials said that the Arab Mujahideen had evacuated Kandahar,
although a few Arab Mujahideen were present in the vicinity of Kandahar Airport
region. If the reports of fighting in this region are true then these were the
Mujahideen who refused to evacuate or surrender weapons. These Mujahideen will
fight till they gain martyrdom.
Another
Commander in Kandahar told BBC there were no Arab Mujahideen present in Kandahar
and they unaware of where they had gone. According to analysts, the shifting of
large number of Arab Mujahideen towards safer places is a great shock to
American and Coalition Members, and this is considered to be the complete defeat
to the US who wanted to kill them all in Kandahar.
Taliban
forces have taken their weapons along with them at the time of the withdrawal
from Kandahar
Kandahar
( Islam News): After the agreement with Mulla Naqibullah, Taliban forces started
evacuating Kandahar since Thursday night, and have also taken away their weapons
in large numbers along with them. A few local Taliban, however, gave away their
weapons to Mulla Naqibullah, who is holding KOTWALI.
According
to news, as soon as the Taliban forces evacuated Kandahar, there was chaos and
looting in the city. Check posts are being set up in different parts of the city
that are under control of soldiers loyal to Gul Agha, Hamid Karzai, Mulla
Naqibullah and Gul Agha Sherzai. News of firing from different parts of the city
were also reported.
Withdrawal
of the Taliban from Kandahar came peacefully after agreement from a Shura (Council)
constituting the Taliban and Mulla Naqibullah
Kandahar
(Islam News): The peaceful evacuation of Taliban forces from Kandahar, was based
on a Shura agreement between the Taliban and Mulla Naqibullah. The Shura
included Defence Minister Mulla Ubaidullah Akhwand, Taliban's well-known
commander Mulla Bradar and respected scholars. Before the evacuation, the
Taliban handed over their heavy weapons including tanks, armoured personal
carriers and other weapons to Mulla Naqibullah while taking small weapons along
with them.
The
new also reported that the Taliban's withdrawal from Kandahar was totally
peaceful and there were no reports of chaos or disturbance. This is evident from
the fact that although according to the agreement the evacuation had to be
completed within 4 days, it was completed by Friday afternoon. It must be
clarified that Mulla Naqibullah was a former Taliban member and he was the Core
Commander of Kandahar before the arrival of Taliban forces. He invited Taliban
to come to Kandahar in the beginning of the Taliban and fully cooperated with
them. He also provided heavy weapons at that time, which benefited Taliban
forces considerably.
"Alhamdulillah,
Ameer-ul-Mumineen Mulla Mohammad Umar is in complete safety",
says the Ameer’s representative, Syed Tayyab Agha.
Kandahar
(Islam News): In a briefing to Islam News, Syed Tayyab Agha said that
Ameer-ul-Mumineen Mulla Mohammad Umar is in Afganistan and in complete saftey.
He declared that the rumours, stating Ameer-ul-Momineen Mulla Mohammad Umar to
have been captured, as COMPLETELY BASELESS and FALSE. He further mentioned that
the Taliban leadership and top commanders are also in complete safety and are
fine.
Sheikh
Usama bin Laden is alive and well - Arab Mujahideen.
Kandahar
(Islam News): For the first time after Taliban's evacuation from Kabul, news has
been recieved that Sheikh Usama bin Laden is safe. In the news received from
Kandahar, at the time of evacuation from Kandahar, the Arab Mujahideen told
Taliban officials that they were in contact with Sheikh Usama and that he is
fine and absolutely safe. The American bombing campaign against him has been a
failure and has been unable to hurt him. The Arab Mujahideen did not disclose
Sheikh Usama's whereabouts. They further said that the news about Dr.
Aiman-az-Zawahari being injured or martyred is false. It must be clarified that
this is the first statement made about Sheikh Usama after the evacution from
Kabul. While evacuating from Kabul, the Taliban had said they were not in
contact with Sheikh Usama and neither did they know his whereabouts. The Arab
Mujahideen had also not given any statements either.
Chances
of fighting breaking out between rebel groups in wake of Taliban's evacuation
from Kandahar.
Kandahar
(Radio Report): It is being reported that the city of Kandahar has been hit by
wide spread chaos, severe tension and robberies after the Taliban's peaceful
evacuation from the city. Different commanders have set up governments in their
own local areas and have put up check-posts to terrorise and loot the people.
The population of Kandahar is worried that fighting will break out between the
commanders. The forces of the American agent Gul Agha and the forces of the
other agent Hamid Karzai have already squared off in the southern border town of
Spin Boldak. Heavy movement of Pakistani armed forces towards the Chamen-Spin
Boldak border has also been witnessed.
