| Gul Agha Dies From Gunshots Meant For Karzai? |
| 2002-09-07 |
| In a phone call with the Mujahideen inside Afghanistan in the city of Kandahar, they confirmed that the assassination attempt on the Afghan President Karzai in Kandahar on Thursday was carried out by the Mujahideen as they came to know about the date of Karzai’s visit to the city and thus prepared for this important event. Prepared in the way Islamists know best... However the first information concerning the results of this attack was not clear regarding Karzai. Yet the Mujahideen inside Afghanistan confirmed that there is very strong almost sure information that the ruler of Kandahar Gul Agha died subsequently due to the attack — a matter the media still doesn’t disclose or report about. If they got Gul Agha, it's no great loss, but this could just be Muj rumor. The information on Karzai still isn't clear... That might have been him saying he was alive, but he coulda been lying. If they got Gul Agha, maybe they got him, too. In fact, they probably got lotsa people. In fact, I think they got me, too... Ow. That hurts. According to these (Mujahideen) sources the death of Gul Agha in this incident was not revealed due to fears of its results on the public opinion inside and outside Afghanistan. If he has kicked it, the Karzai guys should be trumpeting it, flags a half mast, public mourning, the whole shebang. He'd make a heck of a lot better martyr than he does a governor of Kandahar... The Mujahideen compared the assassination of Gul Agha with the killing of Ahmad Shah Massood as he was killed on spot by two Arab Mujahideen. However the Northern Alliance at that time didn’t make public this event and stated that he was only injured in this incident and that he was being medicated. It was only after some days and under pressure from the media that the Northern Alliance confirmed the death of their leader in that attack which was carried out by the Arab Mujahideen just a few days before the September 11th attacks. Except that Masood was the heart of the Northern Alliance. Nobody gives a fert about Gul Agha, except for Gul Agha and maybe his Mom... UPDATE: Karzai's on FoxNews, talking about the assassination attempt. But it's probably just a computer simulation. We do that all the time, y'know... |
