Increased threat

A military official said: “The Times Square attack failed case, the (unilateral combat) plans to re-attention.”

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that if armed groups in Pakistan successful implementation of similar attacks on the United States, they would face “serious consequences.”

U.S. National Security Advisor James Jones and the CIA sent to Pakistan this month by Obama to Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari and Army Chief of Staff Erweiziji Jani and other officials to convey a similar message.
Information sharing

The United States against unilateral action plan also intends to strengthen cooperation with the Pakistani intelligence service. Negotiations between the two sides in preparation for the capital of Quetta, western Pakistan province of Balochistan, a second military intelligence center. The United States as Quetta in Pakistan for the Afghan Taliban stronghold.

U.S. military officials said the two sides within the past few months Khyber – Pashtun provinces (former North-West Frontier Province), near Peshawar, capital built the first office that is called “hybrid center” intelligence.

The United States complained that, although cooperation has been strengthened, and the other joint intelligence centers in the second the slow pace of the selection process is “like a typical Pakistani glacier speed.” U.S. officials to Pakistan to U.S. military and civilian officials delayed issuing visas dissatisfied.

A U.S. official said the United States changed dramatically in recent years for the fight against militants in Pakistan way, from the “mass punishment” of action to specific organizations, a controlled retaliatory blow.

The official said the military generally agreed that air strikes can only reduce the “base” organizations and the threat of its associates, but to the US-Pakistan relations may be irreparable damage.

“We need to carefully decide fight back, so as not damage the relationship between the two sides has been established, which is the prevailing view,” another official said.

The Taliban in northern Afghanistan began the rampant activities – Threat to NATO’s supply line

Nov 30

Posted by admin in Afghanistan, Taliban News | Comments off

In a police patrol in northern Afghanistan 300x165 The Taliban in northern Afghanistan began the rampant activities Threat to NATOs supply lineAccording to “The New York Times” reported on the 26th in northern Afghanistan has been the United States and the Afghan government as a safe area, defense forces are very weak, but the recent strengthening of the Taliban has begun to gradually invaded the region, threatening the NATO Allied 1 The key supply routes.

The northern region has always been the most powerful anti-Taliban Northern Alliance forces of the location, the local Taliban forces have been in a collapsing state. Eight years ago, Kundu Si in northern Afghanistan province of Taliban forces were removed. Kundu Si the Government of Afghanistan two years ago, the police will be reduced by one third, from 1,500 people reduced to 1,000. This year, 200 of them deployed to support the capital, Kabul. Currently, only thousands of German soldiers were there to maintain law and order, and only one logistics battalion; with 35 million people, 200 km from the northern border of Afghanistan has only 80 officers Khanabad defense; while hundreds of Taliban activities in the northern part of Chahardara were only 56 police officers.

But in the past two years, the Taliban resurgence in the local momentum is very fierce. August presidential elections, Kundu Si took place around the city a number of attacks. While NATO and Afghan government quickly stepped up security in the city, but the Taliban in the whole province, Kundu Si within the scope of activities are still rampant. Because of logistical supplies through Pakistan are often attacked by the Taliban, NATO has recently opened up a new transport supplies from Russia and Central Asia, the supply line, and Kundu Si region is that the line must pass through.

The Afghan government and U.S. forces neither paid attention to the infiltration of Taliban forces in the northern signs. Locals, from the spring of 2008, the Taliban attacks began in the local re-emergence. In fact, in 2001, after being defeated, the Taliban did not leave the area. Taliban mostly from the Pashtun, while Kundu Si area is nearly half of the population belong to the tribe, many locals are creating chaos in 2001, fled to Pakistan, in the past two years to return. They assassinate local leaders, and quickly occupied a number of Pashtun tribal area, and Uzbeks belonging to the local ethnic minorities driven from their homes. At first, They were very friendly with the tribes, but after the power gradually expanded, it began to plunder the people, to farmers taxation, and not with the threat of families. Even Kundu Si drug traffickers in the border areas are also allied with the Taliban, so that the local security situation is more worrying. And people of the past lingering memory of the tyranny of the Taliban government, right now the basic non-violent acts of resistance. In addition, an affair with al-Qaeda Organization of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has also returned from exile in Pakistan for chaos in the region. Makes the local security situation worse.

Afghan officials said the security situation has never been so worrying. Even if Obama announced that more troops, the United States, NATO and Afghan government will still face tough choices to deploy. Most of the new troops will be sent as the heart of Taliban forces in the south and east, but almost no more troops to the northern part of the arrangement.

The United States deployed 9,000 Marines to Afghanistan against the Taliban lair

Nov 30

Posted by admin in Afghanistan, Asia, Taliban News | Comments off

November 30 electricity in the United States President Barack Obama announced that it will announce troop plan for Afghanistan after the 9000 Marine Corps officers and men received a mobilization order, and stationed in Afghanistan began the final preparations. It is reported that the Sagittarius will be deployed in southern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border in Helmand province, in order to increase U.S. efforts to crack down Taliban militants safe havens.

“Washington Post” reported that in the above troop surge plan is completed, the U.S. military forces deployed in Helmand province will double. In addition to the Marine Corps, the Army will send 1,000 to Afghanistan military instructors. These people as early as February next year, arrived in Afghanistan to help Afghan President Hamid Karzai training troops and police forces to ensure the Afghan national security.

U.S. troops in Afghanistan and NATO’s International Security Assistance Force is currently before the supreme commander, General McCristal requirements, the White House in the coming year and a half about a gradual troop 35000. Currently, U.S. troops in Afghanistan has reached 6.8 million people, but still can not guarantee the absolute superiority of the Taliban. McCristal said that if the U.S. does not currently send more troops, NATO will lose the battle with the Taliban.

It is learned that adopt a “progressive” surge the reason for this is a serious shortage of infrastructure facilities in Afghanistan, the U.S. military can not afford a large number of logistical security needs. In addition, if President Karzai failed to honor its promise to fight corruption, the United States will be able to send more troops to Afghanistan will end in a timely manner as punishment. Earlier this year, the U.S. military has send more troops to Helmand province, 10000 against the Taliban.

However, the U.S. military is still unable to control the Taliban heartland of Helmand province, the local is still an important distribution center for the opium trade, the Taliban has brought rolling cash flow. Manufacturing here or the Taliban roadside bombs and planning the home turf of various types of attacks base. If the U.S. turned a blind eye to this, the Afghan people certainly have to question the U.S. commitment to the fight against the Taliban.

Analysts pointed out that the majority of new U.S. troops will be sent to the border region with Pakistan on the Taliban activity areas focus on the formation of north-south pincer attack. At present, foreign troops in Afghanistan with Afghan army and police compared to the total strength of the Taliban, has reached the level of 12:1, but still feel “inadequate.” However, to continue to send more troops to Afghanistan and then let Obama was faced with a large number of political difficulties.

The White House planned for this October, will expand the scale of the U.S. Army’s 134,000 people, ahead of schedule in 2014 “development plan.” Previously, the Pentagon’s new recruiting more than 5,000 people every month. However, in November, the U.S. military did not complete the recruitment plan, only the new collection to more than 2,000 soldiers. In addition, the Afghan army and police wages rose by 40%, but do not know whether we can work to promote local recruitment.

Recently, large numbers of U.S. troops from Iraq and redeployed to fight in Afghanistan. Many U.S. military discovered that, although Afghanistan and Iraq are both Muslim countries, but apart from religion, the different types of customs. The only two places the same thing, I am afraid that is in the hands of armed assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and almost ubiquitous roadside bombs.

For example, U.S. forces in Iraq could be driving on flat highway patrol, in the Yimapingchuan suffering the worst summer heat of the desert, and even to work with have received university education, for national style quite a few words about the young people talk. To Afghanistan, the U.S. military found that the majority of Afghans are illiterate farmer a few of these people’s favorite hiding in their own homes, much staring at the U.S. military to see. U.S. troops admit that Afghanistan is difficult to conquer the country. Among them, poor natural conditions, in particular, almost harsh winter climate and complex topography, have contributed to difficulties in the direct cause of the war in Afghanistan. The Pentagon sent troops occupied Baghdad just driving along the highway in the past, but to conquer the mountains of Afghanistan, is another matter. In addition to require a lot of Sagittarius things, to ensure smooth logistical even more is the most important. In Iraq, U.S. troops on board the “peak” is only five-storey building blocks, in Afghanistan, and they often pass through the mountains 3,000 meters above sea level, will go into the valley on patrol. However, U.S. troops in Afghanistan are also easy to something, when in many parts of Afghanistan, often due to heavy snow closing off hills for the 5 months not contact with the outside world. This is equivalent to block militants who lived down the road to carry out sabotage. Afghans have little access to radio, television is an absolute rarity, they can rely on the preaching of religious leaders say, tribal leaders, the words and deeds and various armed elements to bring the news about the outside world. Differentiation for the collapse of the Taliban, Afghan support of local government in the United States to carry out “using the work and the treatment-for-arms” initiative to strive for a moderate militants. The United States hopes to become first tribal elders, their allies, and is responsible for selecting suitable for the region’s reconstruction projects. In this way, the United States has supported local government officials in Afghanistan, but also closer relationship with the tribal leaders. Up to now, about 9,000 Taliban fighters in the “interests under the influence,” to surrender their weapons, join the national reconciliation process.

The majority of Pashtuns in Afghanistan, they one by one influential tribe to live. The United States believes that through various reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, Pashtuns make tribal elders have a voice again, so that when the U.S. military in dealing with the Taliban, “many allies.” Prior to that, the United States has launched a similar policy in Iraq, and has been successful.
