“As withdrawal of foreign forces from #Afghanistan by agreed upon May 1st deadline has passed, this violation in principle has opened the way for [Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan] Mujahidin to take every counteraction it deems appropriate against the occupying forces,” tweeted Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid. “The Mujahidin of IEA will now await what decision the leadership of Islamic Emirate takes in light of the sovereignty, values and higher interests of the country, and will then take action accordingly, Allah willing,” he added.

Driving to Taliban-controlled territory doesn't take long. Around 30 minutes from the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif, passing large craters left by roadside bombs, we meet our host: Haji Hekmat, the Taliban's shadow mayor in Balkh district. Perfumed and in a black turban, he's a veteran member of the group, having first joined the militants in the 1990s when they ruled over the majority of the country. The Taliban have arranged a display of force for us. Lined up on either side of the street are heavily armed men, one carrying a rocket propelled grenade launcher, another an M4 assault rifle...

For years I have been saying it: Most Americans still don’t know or understand the implications of America’s support of the jihad in Europe, but that’s exactly what Bill Clinton’s intervention in the Balkans was. Clinton sent American soldiers to fight alongside Bosnian mujahedeen against the Serb Christians in the Bosnia war. The Democrats aligned with the jihad then and the Democrats align with the jihad now, despite the thousands of Americans slaughtered at their hand. Here is yet more of the unending poisonous yield of Clinton’s vicious ill-conceived war. I continue to take heat for my support of...

SNIPPET: "Um Hafs the American gives the admins of the atahaddi forum a piece of her mind:"

SNIPPET: The African Advantage In June 2006, Sada al-Jihad (Echo of Jihad), a Saudi-based jihad periodical, published an article by Al Qaeda strategist, Abu Azzam al-Ansari, exploring the possibility and advantages of a strategy for Africa. The following table summarizes the 13 advantages: Al-Ansari's 13 Advantages to Expanding Al Qaeda Operation 1 “Jihadi doctrines” are well entrenched in most predominantly Muslim countries. This jihadi expansion has old roots in many of the African countries. 2 The general chaos and corruption found throughout the continent which eases “the ability of the Mujahidin to move and plan and organize themselves…” 3 Tribal...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - The Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera on Thursday reported it had received a statement and videotape from an Iraqi resistance group that claimed responsibility for attacks on American forces and threatened more. It was believed to be the first such claim, and the first time a group said it had organized the increasingly bloody offensive.

Six British soldiers were...

May 10, 2003 Shias divided over Ayatollah's return from 23-year exileFrom Stephen Farrell in Basra   “AYATOLLAH HAKIM is coming!” the announcer blares from his astutely positioned loudspeaker van, as the faithful surge away from Basra’s largest Shia mosque at the end of Friday prayers. The Supreme Council likes crowds. A mile across town, roadsweepers are at work, cleaning Saddam Hussein’s parade ground, where the exiled politician cleric will make his first speech on Iraqi soil for two decades. The Supreme Council likes its irony spotless. “But what about his two Shia rivals?” sceptics ask. On cue, pictures of...

[Unattributed report: "Following the martyrdom operation of Anab, the crusaders' B-52 warplanes, intensify their bombardment, using fragmentation and smart bombs"] Following the success of the martyring operation in Anab, which caused significant and heavy damage to the forces of crusaders and apostates, they were forced to hide their losses and prevent journalists and correspondents of satellite TV channels to go to the area. Adding to that, they strongly threatened the media channels that if they reported this operation of Ansar [al-Islam, Kurdish: Pishtiwanani Islam la Kurdistan, PIK], they would be arrested like [the correspondent of] Al-Jazirah, or expelled. As vengeance...
