Leaflets Urging War On U.S. Forces Flood Pakistani Border Town CHAMAN, Pakistan, January 31 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Hand-written leaflets urging attacks against U.S. troops and their local supporters have been distributed in this Pakistani town on the borders with Afghanistan, witnesses said Friday, January 31. "God willing, guerrilla attacks will soon be launched on Americans and their lackeys," said one of the photocopied Pashtu-language pamphlets obtained by Agence France-Presse (AFP). Witnesses saw “bearded” men handing out the leaflets in mosques around Chaman on Wednesday and Thursday, AFP said. "The time is very critical, so all Muslims should forge unity and extend their support to us by joining the jihad (holy war)," the pamphlets urged. Addressed to "our Pashtun brothers" and signed by a group calling itself 'Al-Qaeda-Al-Jahad', they made direct threats against Afghans providing the U.S. troops with intelligence on remnant al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters. "We warn the lackeys of Americans that they should give up their support and stop cruelties on young Taliban, who were arrested to please the lackeys' (American) fathers," the pamphlets said.
****If the US/Allied Commands are vexed by these developments, they should consider what this type of resistence is going to be like in a region (Iraq) where there is considerably more direct financial support for the resistance fighters. Viet Nam is going to seem like a Sunday school picnic compared to this. How does Dubya think he is going to contain and placate a billion pissed off Muslims? And how many of those PO'd Muslims are now living within the borders of the US? INS has no idea... Add to that the report from the BBC that British forces have found proof that Al-Qaeda built a dirty-bomb...(but they don't know where it is now...) I've lived in FLorida for a while now but am thinking that northern Canada is looking mighty fine right about now...But, that's just this old Curmudgeon's opinion...******
