Terrorist base found in Tajikistan

DUSHANBE, January 29 (Itar-Tass)

Police have found an underground bunker on an outskirt of the city of Isfar in the north of Tajikistan.

The chief of the Sogdiisky district’s Interior Department, police Lieutenant-General Abdurakhim Kakhkharov, told reporters on Monday that there was information suggesting that bunker was a base of a terrorist group called the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

The 30 square meter room showed signs of being habituated - food, clothes, kitchen utensils and two hand grenades.

The general said that it was a second bunker uncovered by police over the past six months on the territory of the border Isfar district.

Extremist literature, sound and video tapings with calls for a jihad, guides for bomb manufacture, technical specifications for the Kalashnikov assault rifle and other arms, and a map of the region were found in the first bunker.

Thirty Tajik citizens were detained in special police operations last year on suspicion of belonging to terrorist groups.

Several others were put on an international wanted list.

"Dargai and AQAM
More on the Dargai suicide attack, and the role of AQAM"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Taliban. "Pakistani Taliban." Neo-Taliban. Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat- e-Mohammadi. Al-Qaeda. Lashkar-e-Taiba. The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan... The distinctions between the groups in Pakistan are becoming meaningless. They share the same ideology, goals, training camps, tactics and recruiting bases. Their command structures often intermesh.

Some in the American military intelligence community refer to these groups as AQAM - Al-Qaeda and Allied Movements. This is analogous to what the Indians call the International Islamic Front - the umbrella group of jihadi movements banded together by Osama bin Laden in the 1998 fatwa declaring war on the West. The International Islamic Front includes groups such as Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the Jihad Movement in Bangladesh, and Harakat ul-Mujahidin. Several other groups remained unnamed to provide cover for their activities."
