| Hekmatyar Supports Mullah Omar As Prince of Believers |
| 2003-02-26 |
| Source: Rightword.net, Translated by Jiahd Unspun Some Afghan sources told the London based "Al Hayat" newspaper that Gulbuddin Hekmatyar the head of the Islamic party intends to give his support for Mullah Omar as prince of believers. The sources underlined the reorganization of the anti-American groups in Afghanistan benefiting from the American concern about the preparation for the war on Iraq. They added that the Taliban, Qaida and the Islamic party organized many mobile camps for military training to their elements in order to adapt with this new situation of the Iraqi crisis which will distract the American and British troops. The three groups appointed one of the Arab Mujahedeen as the leader of operations in Khost which is the most active front in resisting the Americans. It is worth mentioning that some Western intelligence sources including American ones had stated recently that a meeting between Mullah Omar and Hekmatyar took place two months ago. It is believed that they agreed on cooperation to remove the Karazai regime and kick out the American troops from the country. But yesterday Hek was saying he wasn't allied with the Talibs and Qaeda... Has he changed his mind again? Or just can't make it up? |
