| U.N.: Al-Qaida’s Afghan Camps Reopening |
| 2002-12-17 |
| Al-Qaida training camps have recently been reactivated in Afghanistan, and new volunteers are making their way into these camps, a U.N. report said Tuesday. While Osama bin Laden's financial network has been mostly dismantled, the group still has "access to substantial funding from its previously established investments," said the report, which monitors sanctions on al-Qaida. The new camps were "simple," the report by the group led by British expert Michael Chandler said. It said the activation of such camps in eastern Afghanistan was increasing the long-term capabilities of the al-Qaida network. Chandler was expected to give more details on the findings later Tuesday. "Welcome to Camp Impact Area. Please ignore the X mark in the center of the compound." |

| #4 Bush wanted armistices in Pashto-land, while the Northern Alliance wanted to roll over them. An armistice means: beligerent peace. You reap what you sow. |

| #3 Ignore the problem until after Iraq. By then there will be enough jihadists there to drop a daisy cutter or two on them.It is helpful when they congragate together. |

| #2 If the border was one way out of Pakland, the problem would solve itself. Volunteers flock to new camp in Afganistan, bomb same, repeat action. |

| #1 Noting that the camps are in EASTERN Afghanistan, it might be high time to put more pressure on Pakistan to tackle their little problem with a porous border. |
