Thema:   Muslim Source: Attack Expected on Afghanistan
Datum:  22.12.00 21:18:38 (MEZ) Mitteleuropäische Zeit
 

UN Security Council decision to impose new sanctions on Afghanistan is the 
first step towards the imminent attack by US/Russian forces. 
Taliban news sources have been reporting that a joint American and Russian 
attack on Afghanistan involving chemical weapons is expected any time. The 
Times, a British newspaper, has also acknowledged this fact in yesterday's 
issue
(http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,32114,00.html). Elite US Navy Seal 
Units arrived in the region in the middle of October and entered Afghanistan 
'secretly'. 
This was also reported by the World Tribune (www.worldtribune.com, 29 October 
2000). Further contingents of American and Russian troops have been arriving 
in the region constantly over the last few weeks, in an operation expected to 
involve several thousand soldiers, predominantly Russian, with American 
weapons, finance, intelligence and Command and Control. The targets: the 
Taliban leadership and Foreign Mujahideen forces. 
Taliban Intelligence Sources in neighbouring countries have been reporting 
that the troops are preparing to use chemical weapons, in order to gain the 
advantage in a battle they do not expect to be win easily. Both Russian and 
American troops are rehearsing chemical warfare manoevres wearing NBC 
(Nuclear - Biological -Chemical) suits. The use of chemical weapons against 
civilians does not come as a surprise from countries that do not even worry 
about the safety of their own Armed Forces. 
Pakistani newspapers have been reporting since mid-October that a strike on 
Afghanistan is expected (http://www.dawn.com/2000/11/01/op.htm#1, 
http://www.dawn.com/2000/11/01/top12.htm, 
http://www.dawn.com/2000/10/30/top7.htm). 
The Pakistan Government has publicly refused permission for US airplanes and 
missiles to use its airspace 
(http://www.dawn.com/2000/10/29/top1.htm) unlike the Tomahawk Cruise Attack 
on Afghanistan in 1998, in which the Pakistanis secretly assisted the 
Americans. US Embassies around the World have been closed. US Forces around 
the World have been placed on high alert. Western media sources have also 
acknowledged that an attack is very close 
(http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,390671,00.html,
http://www.time.com/time/daily/0,2960,58483,00.html, despite the 'assurances' 
given to the Taliban Government by William B Milam, the American Ambassador 
to Islamabad, Pakistan 
(http://www.jang.com.pk/thenews/nov2000-daily/03-11-2000/main/main1.htm). 
The Taliban Foreign Minister, Abdul Wakil Mutawakil, has said that 
Afghanistan will retaliate with full force if it is attacked 
(http://www.jang.com.pk/thenews/oct2000-daily/27-10-2000/main/main14.htm).
The purpose of the attack is meant to be an assurance to the American public 
that America has found those responsible for the USS Cole bombing in Yemen on 
12th October, and that it will retaliate. The American people have been 
demanding answers from their Government as to how it failed to ensure the 
security of more of their soldiers by sending them to a volatile region of 
the World. The simple and quickest answer for them to give is to point the 
finger at Usama bin Ladin and launch an attack on Afghanistan. 
As in the 1998 African Embassy bombings, there is little evidence and facts 
but more rumours and propaganda. Usama bin Ladin denied involvement in the 
African Embassy bombings and has denied involvement in the USS Cole bombing. 
Therefore, it is obligatory upon every Muslim to take his word for it rather 
than the word of a disbeliever. It is more likely that the USS Cole was 
bombed in a joint Israeli Secret Service MOSSAD and CIA operation in order to 
justify an attact on the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and divert attention 
from the Zionist genocide in Palestine. As always, the Zionist-controlled US 
Government does not care about the lives of its soldiers and is willing to 
sacrifice them in order to preserve its unjust policies and the racist State 
of Israel. American soldiers die thinking they are preserving liberty, 
freedom and democracy. The reality is that they are expendable items in the 
dirty world of Zionist American politics in the Middle East. 
For several years now, the World has been waging a relentless economic, 
political and media war against the Taliban regime because the Taliban 
Government is the only Muslim Government in the World whose leaders are 
sincere to try establish Shariah. They have been been waging an indirect 
military war against the Taliban by supplying arms, money and advisors to the 
Communist forces of Ahmad Shah Masood, whose government does not have a local 
address. They falsely accuse the Taliban of closing all girls' schools and 
banishing women to their homes.
The only 'crime' the Taliban are guilty of is that they have refused to 
extradite Muslims to non-Muslim countries because Islam does not permit the 
extradition of a Muslim to a disbeliever, no matter what the situation or 
circumstances. 
This situation is even stranger in that America has labelled accusations 
against Usama bin Ladin without providing any proof or evidence and 
intelligent people are expected to believe that a single man sitting in some 
remote region of the World, totally isolated from communications and contact 
with the outside World, is the biggest threat to World peace and global 
stability today. The real threat to the World's tyrants are the Taliban, 
because they are the ones who stand for proper justice and whose leaders eat 
and sleep on the floor.    
                        URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP                                
          
        An appeal goes out the Muslims all over the World to come to the 
assistanceof their brothers and sisters in Afghanistan generally, and the 
Taliban specifically:                                                         
       
        "But if they seek your help in religion, then it is your DUTY to help 
them..." [Quran 8:72] 
"O you believe answer the call of Allah(swt) and His Messenger(saw) to that
which gives you Life."(8:24)
Prophet Muhammad (saw), 
said:
"The Muslim Ummah is a unique ummah among the whole of mankind: Their land is 
one, their War is one, their Peace is one, their Honor is one and their Trust 
is one."(Imam ahmed)
