TALIBAN ATTACK SPIN BOLDAK: FLAMES Could be SEEN
FROM CHAMAN,
Pakistan
According to AFP, on April 29, Taliban
warriors struck the positions
of
U.S.-backed
tribal "government" in Spin
Boldak, a town in Kandahar
province near the Pakistani border. Fazal Agha,
the appointed 'commissioner'
of Spin Boldak stated that the attackers hit the
Intelligence office, the
ammunition depot, the office of "frontier
affairs" and numerous other
offices with rockets.
Pakistani observers say that the flames from
the exploding ammunition
depot and other offices could be seen as far away
as Chaman.
Following the disastrous attack,
U.S.-backed tribal forces supported by
American tanks searched the area but could not
find any of the Taliban.

U.S. SOLDIERS SHOOT at demonstrators IN FALLUJAH
Again
On April 30,
Associated Press
reports,
about 1,000 people
demonstrated in Fallujah, 30 miles west of
Baghdad, against U.S. troops. They
were protesting the previous day's
massacre
in
which U.S. troops killed 15
Iraqis
and wounded 73.
This time the U.S. troops opened fire
again. According to the mayor
of the city, two demonstrators were killed and 14
wounded on this second day
of demonstrations. The mayor of the town, Taha
Bedaiwi al-Alwani, an exile
who came with U.S. troops, urged American forces
to stay away from mosques
and residential area.
American forces say (again) that they fired
after being fired upon.
However, Associated Press reports that 'local
officials in Fallujah said they
saw or heard no shooting from among the
protestors.' The imam of the Grand
Mosque, Jamal Shakir Mahmood, said that the
Americans are insisting that
U.S. troops are needed to provide security "but
the people of Fallujah told
them we already have security."
[A report from AFP says that the demonstrators
on both days, though
peaceful, carried pictures of President Saddam
Hussain and the Iraqi flag
with the words "Allahu Akbar" on it. AFP
confirmed the 15 deaths and 73
injuries on the first day.]
[Notice that Iraqi agents who arrived with U.S.
forces immediately removed
"Allahu Akbar" from the Iraqi flag.]

MUSHARRAF'S MOVE AGAINST MEDRESSAS RESCINDED
On April 25, the Islamic government of
Pakistan's Frontier Province
rescinded General Musharraf's requirement that
Islamic schools (medressas)
register with the government. The General, under
American and
Zionist
pressure, had ordered the registration of Islamic
schools so that their
syllabi could be sanitized to remove teachings
about
Jihad.
As we reported earlier, Zionist Think Tanks
in American consider
medressas the most important source of Jihad
motivation among young
Pakistanis.
The Frontier government, which was swept
into power on a wave on
anti-American sentiment caused by the bombing of
Afghanistan, also decided to
provide funds to help orphans who are educated in
the medressas.

JIHAD LEADER SEES
ISRAEL
-
INDIA
DEFENSE AGREEMENT
as DANGER SIGNAL
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, leader of Jamaat
ad-Da'wa in Pakistan told a
large gathering in Muridke (in Punjab province)
[April 17] that the
Israel-India defense pact is a danger signal for
Pakistan. Pakistan's rulers
should start behaving in a responsible way and
popularize military training.
Jihad motivation, he said, is the key to
Pakistan's survival.
Hafiz (one who has memorized the whole
Qur'an)
Saeed said that America
is spreading the seeds of war all around the
globe, and Britain, Israel and
India are its agents. He added that the wars
which have burned Afghanistan
and Iraq are battles between Islam and kufr.
Those, he said, who do not
understand this reality are paving the way for
America.
