| Militants belonging to Pakistan-backed Harkat-ul-Mujahideen jailed by the Northern Alliance in Doaba, in the Panjir Valley along with over 300 Taliban fighters, are hoping to get out on a general amnesty and are vowing to fight against both India in Kashmir and the new regime in Afghanistan. "We hope to get out of the prison soon as we have heard that the new president Hamid Karzai would give general amnesty to all prisoners. We cannot make any compromise on our goal - to wrest Kashmir from India and reinstate Taliban," Harkat commander Ubeidullah Assad, who is jailed along with nine other militants of the group. Of 330 prisoners jailed by the Northern Alliance, 10 were from Pakistan, 4 are Arabs, 3 are from Burma, 2 from China and the rest Afghan Taliban. These were the Bad Guys the Northern Alliance was holding prior to the US involvement, when they were fighting by themselves. Here's hoping the rumors of a general amnesty are just that. |
