History and origin of the recent wave of terrorism
History and origin of the recent wave of terrorism
By Mamnoon Ahmad Khan
Introduction
I remember very well that Thirty years ago, I did not hear the word terrorism or terrorists. There was only a term used was the aggression of Israel against the Arabs and Palestinians. But after Russia (former USSR) invaded Afghanistan, the scene changed. Russian brutality is not hidden in the world. They not only destroy this independent country, but destroy their future generations. In many villages after killing his people crushed entire village with bulldozers. Even children do not forgive innocent. Toy Russians dropped bombs in towns and villages and helicopters when a child found and began playing with the explosion. As a result of many Afghan children have died or become disabled.
Soviet aggression in Soviet-Afghan War
Above dollars have been killed. January 5 million Afghans fled to Pakistan to Afghanistan and Iran, one third of the population before the war the country. Another 2 million Afghans displaced persons. In the 1980s, one out of two refugees in the world was an Afghan. 2 As the number of deaths was 1.2 million disabled Afghans with the blessing of mine in Russia (mujahideen, government soldiers and noncombatants) and 3 million maimed or wounded (primarily noncombatants) 3.
Irrigation systems, essential for agriculture in arid areas in Afghanistan have been destroyed by aerial bombing and strafing by Soviet forces governmental. In the worst years of the War of 1985, more than half of all farmers who remained in Afghanistan had bombed their areas, and more quarter had their irrigation systems destroyed and their livestock killed by Soviet troops and government, according to a study by experts in emergency Swedish 4
The population of the second city of Afghanistan, Kandahar, has been reduced from 200,000 before the war to more 25,000 residents, after a several months long campaign of carpet bombing and destroying Soviet and Afghan communists in 1987. 5 Landmines killed 25,000 Afghans during the war and another 10 to 15 million landmines planted mostly by Soviet and government forces have been scattered around the countryside to kill and maul 6. A large amount of damage caused to the civilian population of children against landmines. Report 2005 estimated that 3-4% of the Afghan population has been disabled due to landmines and the Soviet government. In the city of Quetta, a survey of refugee women and children taken shortly after the Soviet withdrawal is over 80% of children registered refugees and child mortality 31%. Among children who survived, 67% suffered from severe malnutrition, with malnutrition increases with age 7.
The criticism of Soviet and Afghan government forces to describe their effect on Afghan culture and the work into three stages: first, the center of culture Traditional Afghan Islam, has been abandoned; models of a second, of Soviet life, especially among youth, have been imported, thirdly, to share cultural features of Afghanistan have been destroyed by the emphasis on nationality is known, with the result that the country was divided into different ethnic groups, language, religion or culture in common 8.
The Geneva Accords 1988, which eventually led to the withdrawal analysis of Soviet forces in early 1989, has left the Afghan government in ruins. The agreements were not sufficiently addressed the issue of post-occupation and the future government of Afghanistan. The assumption of most Western diplomats had the pro-Soviet government in Kabul Collapse Soon, however, this does not happen for another three years. Meanwhile, the Islamic Transitional Government Afghanistan (IIGA) was created in exile. The exclusion of key groups such as refugees and Shi'ites, and disagreement Important among the various mujahideen factions, has never served as a government managed IIGA work 9.
Before the war, Afghanistan was already one of the poorest nations in the world. The prolonged conflict left Afghanistan ranked 170 out of 174 index UNDP Human Development, Afghanistan is one of the developed countries, at least in the world. 10
Once the withdrawal Russians, American interests have left Afghanistan. United States decided not to help rebuild countries and the emphasis interests of allies of the United States, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Pakistan quickly took advantage of this opportunity and have forged relationships with the lords War and later the Taliban to ensure the commercial interests and roads. Since the end of the country through trees to logging practices that destroyed nearly 2% of forest cover across the country, wild pistachio substantial uprooting trees for export to its roots for therapeutic use, to farming opium, the last ten years have caused great destruction and ecological agriculture 11.
Captain Tarlan Eyvazov, a soldier of Soviet forces during the war, said that the future of children in Afghanistan are intended for war. Eyvazov said: "The children born in Afghanistan at the beginning of the war … were reared in conditions of war, is their way life. Theory Eyvazov was reinforced later when the Taliban movement developed and formed from orphans or refugee children who are forced by the Soviets to abandon their homes and spend their life in Pakistan. The rapid rise in the youth of the Taliban regime in 1994, was the result of disorder and civil war that the warlords Running Wild due to the complete collapse of order in Afghanistan after the departure Soviet 12.
Abuse of Israel's Arab-Isreal 1967
Eyewitnesses by Israeli agents and journalists, the Israeli army – the army claims of such a higher moral standard than other armies – executed 1,000 Arab prisoners during the War of 1967.
Historian Gabby Bron wrote in Yediot Aharonot Israel who witnessed the execution of troops Israeli Egyptian prisoners in the morning of June 8, 1967, in the Sinai town of El Arish.
Bron said he saw about 150 prisoners Egyptian prisoners of war at the airport of El Arish, where they were sitting on the ground, very dense with hands on the back neck. Every few minutes, Bron writes, Israeli soldiers Egyptian POWs escorting the group at a hearing held by two men in Israeli army uniforms. Then the man aside, because a cat and forced to dig his own grave.
I saw (one) man dug a hole about 15 minutes, Bron writes. Later, the army (Israeli) police told him to throw the shovel away, and then one of them leveled an Uzi and shot two short bursts, each three or four balls.
Bron says he witnessed about ten such executions, until the grave was filled. Then, an Israeli colonel was threatened with a revolver, forcing him to leave the area.
The reality is that Israel has encouraged and profited of this war for many politicians and economic reasons territorial. To receive these benefits, Israel attacked Syria and the Golan Heights captured in the last days of the war.
Slaughter at Sabra and Shatila Sep.16, 1982
Today, 27 years later, Israeli aggression against Palestinians continues.
Scars left by the slaughter at Sabra and Shatila are indescribable.

On September 16, 1982, members of the Christian Phalange militia in Lebanon – with the approval and support Live then Defense Minister Ariel Sharon – Sabra and Shatila has joined and stormed over 36 hours killing thousands of unarmed Palestinian civilians Lebanon.
The journalist Robert Fisk, who was on the scene September 19, 1982, reported saw the bodies, "blackened babies thrown in a pile side trash cans thrown U.S. army rations, the Israeli army team empty bottles of whiskey. "
The children shot in the head. Some had their throats cut. Dozens of men were shot in the back of the head or mutilated by axes. The women had been raped. Pregnant women have had babies torn from their bodies.
The United Nations, issued a formal declaration of genocide in 1982, also known as the Sabra and Shatila massacre of more heinous in the 20th century.
How death is not known, but figures of around 1000-3500 at least, a number estimated by the Israeli journalist Amnon Kapeliouk end.
"The precise figure (victims) can not be determined because, in addition to some 1,000 people who were buried in mass graves by the Committee International Red Cross or in the cemeteries of Beirut by members of his family, a large number of bodies were buried under buildings razed by militia members, "writes Dr. Laurie King-Irani, assistant professor of anthropology at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at the University Georgetown. "In addition, especially 17 and 18 September hundreds of people were taken in trucks to unknown destinations life, never to return. "
Dr. King-Irani has also been the North American Coordinator of International Campaign for Justice for the victims of Sabra and Shatila, which hosted the indictsharon.net site.
However, the authors of the massacre were never brought to justice. An internal investigation called Israeli Kahan Commission – which was political and not judicial – is Sharon indirectly but personally responsible. He resigned as defense minister but retained a seat in the cabinet of the government. He served as premier from 2001-2006. A case was filed in November 2001 on behalf of some survivors against Sharon and others to commit war crimes within the jurisdiction of Belgian universal law was finally rejected by a Belgian court of appeals.
Sharon told the Israeli parliament that the decision to send the Phalange were made at 3:30 pm, September 15. The Israeli command has instructed that the "clean fields is carried out by the Phalanges or the Lebanese army," Martin Luther King-Irani wrote, citing the report of the Kahan Commission, p. 125.
Today, 27 years later, the Israeli aggression against Palestinians continues. Operation Lead Cast in December and in January 1400 has killed more Palestinians in Gaza and wounded over 5300. constant siege Israel has tightened 1.5 million inhabitants in a crisis inhuman and unthinkable.
All Muslims of the world must pay tribute to victims and survivors of Sabra and Shatila keep his memory alive. When their voices have been silenced, we must raise our voices loud and clear call to end the brutal occupation of Palestine and refugee law to return to their homeland.
The massacre of Jenin in April 2002
A monstrous war crime that Israel has tried to cover two weeks has finally been exposed. His troops have devastated the center of Jenin refugee camp, reached yesterday by The Independent, where Thousands of people continue to live among the ruins.
A residential area about 160,000 square feet to approximately one third of a mile wide has been reduced to dust. Debris have been digging with bulldozers into 30ft piles. The sweet, terrible stench of rotting human bodies is everywhere, evidence that a serious man. The people, who spent several days hiding in basements crowded into single rooms as the rockets hit, For example, there are hundreds of bodies buried under the dust in a debris field treadmarks crossed by tank and bulldozer.
In a building near half in ruins, destroyed by fire, was found dead steal a man covered by a blanket. In another we found the remains of 23-year Hejar Ashraf Abu beneath the ruins of a fire blackened room that collapsed on him after being hit by a rocket. His head is shrunken and blackened. Third, five men dead long been under the covers.
A quiet place. look sad young man called Kamal Anis led us through the desert, now filled with the remains of what were once houses, foam rubber, torn clothes, shoes, boxes, children's toys. Suddenly he stopped. It was a mass grave, he said, pointing.
We looked at a pile of rubble. Here, said he saw Israeli soldiers pile 30 bodies in a house in ruins. When the battery is completed, which destroyed the building, bringing its ruins down on the corpses. Then, the swept area with a tank. We saw the bodies. But we could feel.
A few days ago, I could not believe Kamal Anis. But descriptions given by many other refugees who have fled the Jenin camp were understated, not, as many feared, and Israel encouraged us to believe, exaggerations. Their stories had not prepared for what I saw yesterday. I believe now.
Until two weeks ago, there were hundreds of houses in this busy neighborhood of al-Hanat Hawashim. They no longer exist.
Around the central ruins, there are hundreds of houses destroyed and a half. Much of the region – once home to 15,000 Palestinian refugees from the war of 1948 – Is declining. Each wall is stained and torn by bullet holes and shrapnel, testimony to the impressive firepower, random Cobra and Apache helicopters flying over the camp.
Building after building has been torn apart, their contents furniture cheap fake, mattresses, white plastic chairs thrown into the street. Each building holds the other giant, charred, impact mark of a missile helicopter. Last night there were still many families and children who are still mourning live among the ruins, cut off from humanitarian aid. It is disturbing, no one was injured, although there is a report of a man being rescued from beneath ruins only an hours before our arrival.
Those who have not fled the camp, or arrested by the army, spent the bombardment in basements, durable day after day of terror. Some were forced into rooms by the soldiers, who stormed into the houses through the walls. The UN estimates half camp residents were under 15,000 18. As the evening hush fell over these killing fields, we could suddenly hear the children chattering. The mosque, once so noisy at the moment of prayer, were silent.
Israel has always tried to conceal these scenes of yesterday. He was refused entry ambulances to the Red Cross nearly a week, in violation of the Geneva Convention. Ayer continued to try to stay out.
Jenin north of the occupied West Bank as closed military zone, was surrounded by Merkava tanks, army patrols and armored jeep. Reporters caught are escorted. A day earlier, Israeli army forces took in a few selected journalists to see the sanitized parts camp. Just walking through the fields, passed through an olive grove dominated by two Israeli tanks and camp.
We were caught by hand in a gesture on the windows. Invisible, we whisper directed by narrow alleys they thought were clear. When there were soldiers on a raised finger warning, or a hand waved back. We were received by those Desperate to tell what had happened. They spoke of executions, and bulldozers to demolish houses with people inside. It is a mass murder committed Ariel Sharon, Jamel Saleh, 43, said. We feel more hate for Israel than ever. Look at this boy. He put his hand on the shaggy head of a child, Mohammed, the son of eight years, a friend. He saw all this evil. It must be noted. So everybody who saw the horror of Jenin refugee camp. Palestinians who entered the camp yesterday were almost speechless.
Rajib Ahmed of the Palestinian Energy Authority, came try to repair power lines. I was shaking with anger and shock. It is a mass murder. I came here to help, I found nothing but devastation. Just look for yourself. All had the same message: tell the world.
The recent Israeli aggression in Gaza
Israel committed a massacre unprecedented barbaric against Palestinian civilians helpless in Gaza.
Israel's intention seems to have been not only the destruction of some places in the Gaza Strip, but the destruction of Gaza and the burial of its people under mounds of rubble and lakes of blood.
The timetable for Israel to launch its aggression anxiety mounted among the Arabs.
Concern Worldwide on the financial crisis, the transition from the White House, and the declaration Hamas to end truce with Israel without Palestinian or Arab support that can stop the hostile intentions of Israel, the activation of all concerns that Israel is preparing for the worst to terrorize the entire Arab region.
Israel launched its assault, Saturday, December 27, 2008 in three steps:
First step: the bombing of 27 December 2008 to 2 in 2009.
Second stage: Ground attack 3-10 January 2009.
Third stage: From January 10 to move in large cities that occupy territories and the establishment of safer areas in the Gaza border, which finally ended Jan. 18.
Throughout the three stages, over 1,300 people died and over 5,300 injured, over half are women, children and the elderly.
Blaming the victim, the offender is not
U.S. Foreign Minister Condoleezza Rice, has accused Hamas of violence. The Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, can express its "deep concern" and where was Barack Obama? An AP photo showed her working holiday "at the Semper Fit Center Marine Corp Base Hawaii in Kailua, Hawaii, on Saturday, CBS News said it was "closely monitor world events, including the situation Gaza, but there is a president at a time, "said Brooke Anderson, a spokesman for the chief national security.
On July 1, 2008 interview with The New York Times asked Obama whether Israel should negotiate with Hamas in Gaza. He said "I do not think any country would find it acceptable to have missiles raining on the heads of its citizens …. I hope the Israelis to do (everything we can to stop )…. As to negotiate with Hamas, it is very difficult to negotiate with a group that is representative of a nation-state does not recognize its right to exist, (And) always used terror as a weapon. Hamas is a terrorist organization …. It is difficult for Israel to negotiate with a country like that. "
Hamas has been democratically elected. It is the legitimate government of the Palestinian people. It is falsely called a terrorist organization and has every right to resist an illegal occupation under international law. He observed a unilateral truce for months and extended peace overtures to many times in the past. Israel rejected the division of Gaza and the West Bank cooptation of Mahmoud Abbas, of Fatah incitement against Hamas, the isolation Gaza, and pursues a policy of aggression, killings, targeted assassinations, the mass arrests, torture and with the full support of Washington, west, and (from his comments above) to the new Obama administration.
(UNRWA) The United Nations Relief and Refugees Works Agency operations manager for Palestine Refugees, John Ging, expressed his indignation about what is happening. Previously, he said: The people of Gaza has nothing in the months of cease-fire. There is no restoration "of a decent life. We had our finite supply (For period) to the extent that we stayed in a very vulnerable and precarious, "with very little food left to it is exhausted.
With Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) campaigns for justice in the areas of Palestinian civil and political and human rights under international law. With Palestinian Return Centre (PRC), the Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB), the British Muslim Initiative (BMI), no war, the Friends of the Al Aqsa Muslims of Britain (MAB), and respect, Islamic Human Rights Commission has organized protests Emergency in London against the Israeli embassy on December 28 and 29 to demand the end of the siege of Gaza and the ongoing aggression. Urgency was highlighted when he said: The cynicism of Israel (Is) supported by the complicity of the West "that the solidarity of the public who to end.
For his part, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has asked the department to "take urgent measures (A) show an aggressive diplomatic and international public relations, "according to Haaretz. In other words, Israel will turn his unwarranted aggression to justify self-defense and get the media key help sell.
On December 27, The New York Times took the lead. He been reported that "Israeli air strikes attacked the security installations in Gaza of Hamas on Saturday, crushing a response to rocket attacks by the group …. Israeli military officials (called the attack) to force Hamas to stop firing rockets southern Israel. Thousands of Israelis rushed to shelters in the rain of rockets "to believe that Israel was like London during the Blitz, when in reality, the attacks by Hamas are mere pinpricks and only answer to the first strike in Israeli attacks.
The Times and the media do not say anything about it. They continued to spread lies about Hamas false "officially committed to the destruction of Israel, and when he won the Palestinian legislative elections in 2006 and "force" had seized power Gaza in 2007, said it will not recognize Israel and honor previous Palestinian commitments, or to end their violence against Israelis. "
All this is false. The Times continues to report false. Hamas wants peace, has been repeatedly conciliation, and its founder, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, said earlier that armed struggle will end "if the Zionists ended up (his) the occupation of Palestinian territories and stopped killing Palestinian women, children and innocent civilians. "
Israel rejects all initiatives. More recently, Hamas has offered peace and recognition Israel in exchange for a Palestinian state within 1967 borders – occupied territories entitled under international law.
By 1988, the PLO under Yasser Arafat has accepted a two-state solution with Palestinians ready to settle for only 22% of its pre-1948 home – a generous offer which, if accepted, two sovereign states living in peace side by other neighbors.
Israel rejects this out of control. We chose this domain name on peace, reconciliation, violence, and imperial conquest of the state law. It is the colonization West Bank, the ethnic cleansing of the population, and continues to terrorize the Gaza Strip. "The newspaper of record" is selective "Press on fit to print, "uncomfortable truths are suppressed. A reported that an Israeli was killed Saturday and four others wounded one seriously, but did not explain that the previous rocket attacks caused no deaths or injuries.
After several months of siege, aggravated by the continuing attacks, Gaza is severely affected, but also the West Bank. Under the rule of Fatah rockets are launched, but Israel maintains a brutal occupation, continues to seize Palestinian land, expanding its illegal settlements, and allows its residents to terrorize Palestinians with impunity, even in cases of death and wanton destruction of property.
U.S. supports the administration of the Israeli aggression against Gaza
On December 31, Associated Press reported that the Council Security held an emergency meeting on an Arab demand for a UN resolution legally binding and enforceable, condemning Israel and try to force the Zionist state to end its military attacks in Gaza.
The draft resolution also called for the immediate protection of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the opening of crossings for humanitarian aid.
But the project, which was presented by Libya on behalf of the 22-member Arab League, was immediately rejected by the U.S. as "imbalanced". Despite this law United States veto, Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian observer to the United Nations, told The Associated Press that the Arab nations to work "Day and night" to the Security Council adopt a binding resolution on the terms announced.
As with the 2006 war in Lebanon, the administration President George W. Bush has strongly supported the Israeli attack on Gaza. The White House, Gordon Johndroe, spokesman of Hamas has even called "nothing more than thugs. "Furthermore, the Government of the United States has worked to block any diplomatic overtures to a ceasefire to give Israel green light to increase its attacks on Gaza.
While Israeli planes, warships and artillery continued to destroy civilian buildings, bridges and mosques, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has not hesitated to blame Hamas for the Israeli aggression and has shown support for the United States to Israel for rejecting initiatives cease-fire of the European Union and several Arab capitals.
Washington and Israel has not accepted Hamas's victory in the parliamentary elections of 2006.
In June 2007, encouraging a coup to overthrow the government of national unity that Fatah and Hamas had pre-installed on the negotiations in Jeddah. The coup failed and since then, the Bush administration had supported the Israeli siege of Gaza, which has often prevented 1.5 million Palestinians receive food, fuel, medicines, etc.
The objective of the blockade is to make people's lives so intolerable that the fall of Gaza the Hamas government.
The United States is not only to protect Israel on the diplomatic front, but also gave Israel weapons have been used for the Palestinians, including GBU-39 missiles – a new weapon to destroy the bunkers.
Israel has received 1,000 such missiles in early December, the addition of three billion dollars a year in military aid, including F-16 fighters and Apache helicopters, fuel and the spare parts needed to keep it running.
The Israeli attacks have killed hundreds of Palestinians (dozens of children them) while the U.S. government Hamas continues to insist that is "responsible" for the fighting.
Major U.S. President Barack Obama, David Axelrod, consultant repeated the same lies that President George W. Bush: that Hamas was the first to break the cease-fire. President of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, agreed. It issued a statement on the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip which she wrote: "When Israel is attacked, the U.S. must continue to vigorously defend his friend and democratic ally."
On the night of November 4 U.S. election day, Israel fired missiles into Gaza. He continued to bombard the Gaza Strip over the next six weeks killing dozens of Palestinians. "The escalation of the war could and should have been avoided. It was the State of Israel who broke the truce in the raid of the tunnel … Two months ago, "the Israeli peace group Gush Shalom wrote in a press release.
The army continued its incursions and assassinations calculated. The truth is that the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza is a crime against humanity whose responsibility is not only the Israeli government, but the bears of America complete.
In fact, for the United States the support and complicity of Israeli war crimes is that they have a much more strategic purpose. What is being done is create a "new order" in the Middle East, which will ensure continued U.S. dominance in the region and control of oil resources.
Israel is only a small partner in this effort of blood. U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, threats against Iran and Syria and the Israeli war against Lebanon in 2006 are part of the application of U.S. doctrine of Israel to dominate and divide the Arab and Muslim world.
Despite all the military support and diplomatic community, U.S. government officials fear a possible failure of Israel, similar to what happened in Lebanon in 2006 and urged Israel to set a timetable and exit strategy, foreign diplomats told the Los Angeles Times.
"U.S. officials are concerned that the campaign would continue without destroying Hamas, and might even increase support for group of militants – as the Israeli campaign in Lebanon strengthened Hezbollah. You do not hear that same confidence that you made in 2006 that the army Israel can impose a new strategic reality, "said an Arab diplomat in Washington.
According to many observers, The war would weaken the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas to strengthen its rival, despite Israel will continue its invasion of Gaza.
The fighting has also ruined the reputation already damaged pro-American regimes in Egypt and Jordan, which have diplomatic relations with Israel and are considered by the Arab people as corrupt and complicit in the Israeli aggression. Stability of these schemes is seriously threatened.
Some observers believe that Israel wanted to create an international crisis at a time when Obama was poised to become the U.S. President to calibrate the sensitivity new Obama administration to kill Palestinians.
Israel wanted to determine the policies of Obama, even before the administration decided to be complicit in their crimes against the Palestinians.
Introducing Obama in Israel was questioned by the Israeli media. In March 2007, Obama told a small group of democracy activists in Iowa: "Nobody is suffering more that the Palestinian people. "The comment made headlines and earned him the wrath of pro-Israel groups.
As a candidate in elections Presidential, Barack Obama changed his tone and said Israel is "entitled" to full sovereignty over all of Al Quds (Jerusalem), a position which ensures that there will be no lasting peace in the region, Arabs and Muslims will never give her rights legitimate to the city.
Obama the man on the right, the chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is a Zionist fanatic who has worked for the army Israel during the 1991 [Persian] Gulf War.
However, these measures are seen as a way to avoid criticism from lobby influential pro-Israel Washington, which has deeply infiltrated the U.S. Republicans and Democrats.
The first reaction Obama slaughter in Gaza is "no comment". This has led many people to begin to wonder if his principles of self-proclaimed safety and dignity also be applied to the Palestinian people.
There is no doubt that America will pay a heavy price for its support of terrorism in Israel.
Many protesters around the world are burning flags of the United States and shows their complete rejection of U.S. policy Promotion of the Zionist terror.
Although current U.S. media communication, which is under Zionist control or enterprise, continue to distort the reality on the scale of the Israeli aggression and occupation, Internet and satellite channels in the Muslim world are providing professional coverage of events in Palestine.
Washington's continued support to the Israeli crimes take any initiative to restore its credibility destroyed in the Arab and Muslim world to fail.
How the CIA created the Taliban and Osama bin Laden
Is this a call for jihad (holy war) taken from one of Osama bin Laden's notorious fatwas of Islamic fundamentalism? Or perhaps a statement issued by the repressive Taliban regime in Kabul?
In fact, this praise of followers of bin Crime arch-terrorists of today Laden and his Taliban collaborators, and their holy war against "evil empire", was issued by U.S. President Ronald Reagan 8 March 1985. The Evil Empire "was the Soviet Union and Third World movements fighting against the US-backed colonialism, apartheid and dictatorship.
How things change. After a series of terrorist atrocities – the mass murder of the most despicable of more 6000 people working in New York and Washington on September 11 – bin Laden the freedom fighter "is now lambasted by U.S. leaders and Western media as a prime contractor "terrorist" and a thug. "
However, the Government of the United States refuses to admit its central role in creating the vicious movement that led to bin Laden, the Taliban and Islamic fundamentalist terrorists that plague Algeria and Egypt – and perhaps the disaster that struck New York.
The media has also downplayed the origins of bin Laden and toxic brand of Islamic fundamentalism.
Mujaheddeen
In April 1978, the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) seized power in Afghanistan in response to a crackdown by the ruling repressive country.
The Data Protection Act has been committed to a radical land reform that favored the peasants, trade union rights, the expansion of education and social services, equality for women and the separation of church and state. The PDPA also supported strengthening Afghanistan's relations with the EU Soviet.
These policies anger rich semi-feudal landlords, the Muslim religious establishment (many mullahs were also big landowners) and tribal leaders. They immediately began to organize resistance to progressive government policy, under cover defense of Islam.
Washington, fearing the spread of Soviet influence (and the worst government in the example of the radical new) allies in Pakistan, Iran and the Gulf states, immediately offered support for the mujahideen in Afghanistan against the "force was known.
Following an internal PDPA power struggle in December 1979 that toppled the leaders of Afghanistan, thousands of Soviet soldiers entered in the country to prevent the fall of the new government. This galvanized the disparate fundamentalist factions. Their reactionary jihad now gained its legitimacy as a national liberation "struggle in the eyes of many Afghans.
The Soviet Union was time to leave Afghanistan in 1989 and the mujahideen took over the capital, Kabul, in 1992.
Between 1978 and 1992, the Government of the United States used at least U.S. $ 6 billion (some estimates range up to $ 20 billion) worth of weapons, training and funds to support the mujahideen factions. Other Western governments, as well as Saudi Arabia, oil rich, a shot in the same. Rich Arab fanatics, like Osama bin Laden provided millions others.
Afghan politics in Washington was marked by the national security adviser to U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and was continued by his successors. Their plan goes beyond forcing Soviet troops to withdraw, but are designed to promote the movement International disseminate religious fanaticism in the Muslim republics of Soviet Central Asia aimed at destabilizing the Soviet Union.
Grand plan Brzezinski coincided own ambitions Pakistan military dictator General Zia ul-Haq to dominate the region. American Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe beamed Islamic fundamentalist tirades across Central Asia (while paradoxically denouncing the "Islamic revolution" that toppled the pro-American Shah of Iran in 1979).
Washington supported mujaheddin faction was one of the most extreme, led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Western disgust for terrorism did not apply to this freedom fighter of unsavory characters. " Hekmatyar has notorious in the 1970s for throwing acid in the faces of women who refused to take the veil.
After the Mujahideen captured Kabul in 1992, Hekmatyar's forces rained in the U.S. and supplied missiles and rockets against the city – killing at least 2,000 civilians – until the new government decided to give the post of Prime Minister. Osama bin Laden was a close associate of Hekmatyar and his faction.
Hekmatyar is also famous for his job by side in cultivation and trafficking of opium. Backup mujahideen from the CIA coincided with a boom in business drugs. Within two years, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan was the world's leading source of heroin, supplying 60% of users drug in the United States.
In 1995, the former head of CIA operations in Afghanistan was unrepentant about the explosion of flow of drugs: "Our primary mission was to make the most damage possible to the Soviets … There was a decline in terms of drugs, yes. But main objective has been accomplished. The Soviets left Afghanistan. "
Made in USA
According to Ahmed Rashid, correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review, 1986 CIA chief William Casey committed to support a proposal by the CIA ISI longstanding worldwide recruit to join the Afghan jihad. At least 100,000 Islamic militants flocked to Pakistan between 1982 and 1992 (about 60,000 attended fundamentalist schools in Pakistan without necessarily taking part in the fighting).
John Cooley, a former journalist with the U.S. network television ABC and author of Holy War: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism, AA revealed that Muslims recruited United States for the Mujahideen were sent to Camp Peary, the spy training camp of the CIA in Virginia, where young Afghans, Arabs from Egypt and Jordan, and even some African-American "black Muslims" were taught "sabotage skills."
On November 1, 1998, British Independent reported that one of those accused of attacks in 1998 against the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Ali Mohammed, had trained "bin Laden cooperatives" in 1989.
These operations "were evaluated in the Centre Al Kifah Refugee in Brooklyn, New York, a paramilitary training in the New York area, then sent to Afghanistan with the help of the United States to join Hekmatyar's forces. Mohammed was a member of the elite U.S. Army Green Berets.
The program, reported The Independent was part of a plan approved by Washington called "Operation Cyclone.
In Pakistan, recruits, money and equipment were distributed to the mujaheddin factions by an organization known as Maktab to Khidamar (Office of Services – MAK).
MAK was cover for the CIA in Pakistan Inter-Service Intelligence Directorate. The ISI was the first recipient of the largest CIA and Saudi Afghan covert aid to the Contras. Bin Laden was one of three people who ran MAK. In 1989, became a total charge of MAK.
Among these were trained by Mohammed El Sayyid Nosairis, who was jailed in 1995 for the murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane, Israeli right and conspiring with others to bomb New York landmarks, including the World Trade Center in 1993.
The Independent also suggested that Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, a religious leader Egyptian jailed for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, also part of Operation Cyclone. He entered the U.S. in 1990 the approval of the CIA. A confidential CIA report concluded that the Agency was "partly culpable" for the World Trade Center blast in 1993, the Independent.
Bin Laden
Osama bin Laden, one of 20 children of a tycoon construction billionaire, has arrived in Afghanistan to join the jihad in 1980. An austere religious fanatic and a businessman, bin Laden specializes in recruiting, funding and training some 35,000 Afghan mercenaries who joined not the Mujahideen.
Bin Laden family is a pillar important to the ruling class of Saudi Arabia, with close personal, financial and politicians to the royal family of pro-US countries.
Bin Laden has been named principal Saudi minister of public works as a favor from King Faisal. The new minister awarded contracts of their own construction companies lucrative to rebuild Islam's holiest mosques in Mecca and Medina. In the process, De Bin Laden family in 1966 became the great world of private construction.
Osama bin Laden's father died in 1968. Until 1994, access to dividends this ill-gotten business empire.
(Bin Laden junior capital is often called, staff from U.S. $ 200-300 million euros has been reached U.S. State Department by dividing the net present value of the bin Laden family – estimated at U.S. $ 5,000,000,000 – For the large number of bin Laden's son. A fact rarely mentioned is that in 1994 the family disowned Osama bin Laden and took control of his party.)
military and business adventures Afghanistan had the blessing of Osama bin Laden dynasty and the reactionary regime of Saudi Arabia. His close working relationship with MAK also meant that the CIA had full knowledge of their activities.
Milt Bearden, chief of the CIA station in Pakistan from 1986-1989, admitted on January 24 May 2000, The New Yorker that does not personally know if bin Laden: "I knew he was there?" Yes, I done … [Guys like] bin Laden were down $ 20 – $ 25 million per month from other Saudis and Gulf Arabs to finance the war. And is serious money. There is an extra $ 200 – $ 300 million per year. And that's what bin Laden. "
In 1986, bin Laden equipment Heavy construction in Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan. With his extensive knowledge of construction techniques (which has an engineering degree calendar), he built training camps ", some dug deep into the hill, and built roads to reach them.
These camps, now known as the "terrorist universities" by Washington, were built in collaboration with the ISI and the CIA. Afghan fighters cons, including tens of thousands of mercenaries recruited and paid by bin Laden, were armed by the CIA. Pakistan, the United States and Great Britain provided military instructors.
Tom Carew, a former SAS soldier who fought British secretly for the Mujahideen, said Aug. 13 2000, British newspaper The Observer: "The Americans' willingness to teach the Afghans the techniques of urban terrorism – Suicide car, etc. – so they can attack the Russians in large cities … Many of them are now using their knowledge and experience to make war on everything they hate. "
Al-Qaeda (The Base), bin Laden's organization, was created in 1987-88 to manage the camps and other businesses. It is a good management company capitalist exploitation – but integrates operations a force of mercenaries and other logistics services to "legitimate business transactions.
Bin Laden has simply continued to work was invited to do in Afghanistan during the 1980s – fund, feed and train mercenaries. All that has changed is his primary client. Then it was the ISI and, behind the scenes, the CIA. Today, their services are used primarily by the reactionary regime of the Taliban.
Bin Laden only became a "terrorist" U.S. eyes when he fell to the Saudi royal family over its decision to allow more than 540,000 American soldiers be stationed on Saudi soil following Iraq's invasion of Iraq from Kuwait.
When thousands of U.S. troops remained in Saudi Arabia after the Gulf War, the wrath of bin Laden opposition pure and simple. He said that Saudi Arabia and other regimes – such as Egypt – the Middle East were puppets of the United States, the government of Afghanistan PDPA was a puppet of the Soviet Union.
He called for the overthrow of these client regimes proclaimed the right of all Muslims Single of the United States outside of the Gulf States. In 1994, he was stripped of his Saudi citizenship and forced to leave the country. Assets have been frozen.
After a period in Sudan returned to Afghanistan in May 1996. The refurbished the camps he had helped build during the Afghan war and offered facilities and services – and thousands of his mercenaries – the Taliban, who seized power in September.
Today Army Private Bin Laden non-Afghan religious fanatics is a key element of the Taliban regime.
Before the attack of September 11 devastating the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the U.S. ruling class has remained unrepentant about the consequences of their dirty refers to people like bin Laden, Hekmatyar and the Taliban. Since the terrible attacks, have been hypocritical.
In an August 28, 1998, the report on MSNBC, Michael Moran quotes Senator Orrin Hatch, who was a prominent member of the Senate Intelligence Committee has approved the relations of the United States with the mujahideen, saying he would do "the same call again", knowing that bin Laden would become.
"It was worth it. Those are very important, key issues that have played an important role in the collapse of the Soviet Union. "
Hatch is now one of the most enthusiastic voices demanding military retaliation.
Another face that has appeared repeatedly in TV screens since the attack has been Vincent Cannistrano, described as a former head of the CIA "operations against terrorism."
Cannistrano is certainly an expert on terrorists like bin Laden, and who directed their "work". He led the Nicaraguan contras backed by the CIA during the 1980s. In 1984, he became the supervisor of covert aid to the Afghan mujahideen for U.S. National Security Council.
The last word goes to Zbigniew Brzezinski: "What was most important in the worldview of history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some woke up Muslims or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War? "
Conclusion
A moment's reflection will show that any invasion, which replaced the Taliban with a puppet of the West of Kabul do that would restore the Taliban as champions of Afghan sovereignty. Sponsored Americans to be just a puppet in the 1980s, funding of some 60,000 foreign mercenaries to join them against the Russians. Intervention reap what you sow.
The Americans do not want to admit their mistakes, but on the real estate [now Americans] have to see the Taliban as the illegitimate child. It was the ISI of Pakistan with the blessing the CIA, who brainwashed Taliban when they were young children living in tents in the Northwest Province (NWFP) of Pakistan near Afghanistan. They have learned to hate Russians. They learned to fight, and none to teach them something else. Then, they were only children who grow up in Pakistan. And they are the ones who became very religious and they are the ones who made the terrorists. The are to teach them to kill people and do not teach anything else.
Now America died of his own was brutally ruthless Taliban as they are not living things. These murders are composed of Taliban and a large number of Pakistani and Afghan civilians.
America has extended the circle of his attack drone in the tribal areas of Pakistan Administered questioned the hideouts of the Taliban. Consequently, a large loss of civilian life, composed of women and innocent children all causalities little or no Taliban. Other Members of these families have disastrous fire of revenge in his heart became suicide bombers. These floats known as suicide terrorists, Pakistani forces attack civilians and cause great human and material losses. Pakistan is intolerable to pay a price for killing his own people (American Taliban have done) in the war against terrorism. America has injected the terrorism by the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in an effort to defeat Russia. Now this Aladdin Engineering (Taliban) is out of the bottle while American and Pakistani forces is not enough able to put this genie in the lamp. If operations military against the Taliban have managed to restore order in the region will not be sustainable. Dialogue and a policy of tolerance is the only way to win Pukhtoons the hearts of these, but the history has shown us that are born fighters and military power is able to control them. Based of all historical facts that I have come to the conclusion that Israel, Russia and the United States are also responsible for the recent wave of terrorism which took over most of the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan. If U.S. policymakers do not react in time, these acts of terrorism can occur anywhere in the world!
