| Those 'mysterious' pamphlets are back... |

| IRNA, and the Voice of America correspondent that anti-American leaflets were circulated on Tuesday and Thursday, December 30-31, in the nearby Paktia province. The leaflets lashed out at the American military presence in Afghanistan and threatened new attacks on the American troops. The leaflets, which carried no signature and were claimed by no group, pressed the American and foreign forces to leave the country and warned any soldiers who stay in Afghanistan of being killed in the country’s valleys and mountains. The publications also exhorted the Afghan people not to cooperate with the foreign troops and the government of President Hamid Karzai. Lemme see, here. They carry the latest Hekmatyar line, so I guess nobody has to claim them. If you get a pamphlet telling you the Pope's neat, you assume it's Catholic in origin. The last bunch was printed by the JUI-F, across the border in Waziristan. No great mystery, is it? |
