Madrassa stand-off pits authorities against female Students protest Veiled in Burqas and armed with canes, scores of female seminary students have occupied a children’s library in here to protest government plans to demolish mosques and Madrassas built without official permission. The unusual protest has pit authorities, who are trying to stop runaway land encroachment, against the chief of one of the country’s largest Islamic schools and raised questions. The chief cleric of the Lal Masjid mosque that runs the seminary, Abdul Rashid Ghazi, is an outspoken critic of Pakistan’s support of the US-led war on Islam. His thousands of male students are often at the forefront of anti-government and anti-US rallies in Islamabad. Ghazi denies he has masterminded the sit-in that began in late January, but clearly supports it. “The protest is their form of Jihad. They started it on their own and since we are sharing the same feeling, I have offered them support,” Ghazi told The Associated Press in an interview. “They are ready to make sacrifices to protect not just their school, but mosques.”

About 200 students currently occupy the children’s library, which is run by the municipal authority and is sandwiched between the mosque and the sprawling Jamia Hafsa seminary — which provides a free Islamic education for some 6,500 girls and women. According to local press reports, more than 84 such mosques and seminaries in Islamabad have been built without permission on state land. Residents say city authorities, who declined to respond to requests by The Associated Press for comment, have already demolished at least two, sparking protests by students who fear their seminary could be razed next. “It is the right thing to do because we are demanding the protection of our rights,” said Uma Aymen, a 22-year old seminary student involved in the sit-in. “Our Muslim government is acting like this only to please America, and I want to it to wake up now.” Seema Zubair, 20, even suggested the students were willing to die to stop any wrecking crew. “We have prepared mentally to sacrifice our lives for our religion.”

Pakistan probe claims Nato, Afghan forces violated border Authorities are investigating claims by residents of a remote border village that Nato and Afghan forces crossed into Pakistan to search for suspected Taliban Mujahideen and martyred a local tribesman, officials said on Thursday. Afghan troops entered Killi Qamaruddin on Wednesday morning and began shooting, martyred one villager, said Abdul Raziq Bugti, spokesman for the Balochistan government, citing claims by residents. Villagers reported that the Afghan border security forces also wounded two Pakistani tribesmen and detained 11 villagers who were taken to Afghanistan, Bugti said. The government has ordered authorities in the area to investigate the alleged incident in the village, about 210km north-east of Quetta. Maulvi Muhammed Sharif, Nazim of Zhob where Killi Qamaruddin is located, said on Thursday that Nato forces also entered Qamaruddin along with the Afghan government troops, citing reports by villagers and security officials.

3 American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military Soldiers Killed in Iraq Three American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military soldiers died on Thursday of wounds sustained in military operations in the western Anbar province. The American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military said in a statement on Friday: "Three soldiers assigned to Multi-National Force-West were killed Thursday from wounds sustained while conducting operations in Al Anbar Province."

A Must read 'Intelligence' on al-Qaeda refuted Michael Scheuer, former head of the US Central Intelligence Agency's Osama bin Laden unit, analyzes the conclusions of the United States' recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) - a consensus report of all US intelligence agencies. He talks to National Interest Online editor Ximena Ortiz.

Nation Interest Online: According to the NIE, one of the potential consequences of a rapid withdrawal from Iraq would be that al-Qaeda "would attempt to use parts of the country, particularly al-Anbar province, to plan increased attacks in and outside of Iraq". How do you balance that threat against the recruitment advantages that the US troop presence in Iraq gives al-Qaeda?

Michael Scheuer: I think there's been a fundamental misunderstanding of what al-Qaeda saw in Iraq from the beginning. They saw an opportunity certainly to kill Americans. They welcomed Washington's blind effort that resulted in clerics all over the world calling for defensive jihad against the Americans in exactly the words that [Osama] bin Laden and [Ayman al-]Zawahiri have used.

But most of all, al-Qaeda derives from our invasion of Iraq an opportunity to push its center of activities 1,000 kilometers westward. They saw Iraq as contiguous territory from which to launch attacks and infiltration to the Arabian Peninsula, into Turkey and into the Levant, and eventually into Lebanon and Israel. And so I think that idea had stood from the beginning, but people didn't look at it from al-Qaeda's perspective.

Bin Laden of course grew up in the Afghan war and has consistently said over the years: "I can't attack the Israelis because I don't have contiguous territory." He also pointed to that reason in explaining why they couldn't get to Bosnia, because they couldn't base in Catholic Croatia or Orthodox Serbia. And so Iraq fulfills one of his ambitions, which is to have a safe haven for his people to get into the Levant ... Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula.

America's 'disastrous position'

NIO: In terms of your first point, in terms of seeing an opportunity to kill Americans, if the Americans are no longer there, that opportunity would no longer exist. But on your second point, has al-Qaeda been able, in your view, to establish that contiguous territory?

MS: Certainly the Israelis are claiming that they've established themselves in Palestine and Lebanon. Al-Qaeda organizations have announced their presence in Syria, in Jordan, in Egypt, all since the beginning of the Iraq war. So it's hard to define, or decide, whether or not these claims are legitimate. But they certainly make sense. There's been an ambition, as I said, of al-Qaeda to be able to reach into these areas, and I think that's probably happening.

America is in a disastrous position really, because we're damned if we stay and we're damned if we leave. And I think you'll recall just on the eve of the invasion, Zawahiri said, "Praise to God for the Americans invading Iraq," because once they get there, they won't be able to stay, but they won't be able to leave and they'll just bleed.

NIO: In view of the fact that they've presumably been able to establish this contiguous presence, to what degree do they then still need Iraq? And if the US troops were to leave, would al-Qaeda be able to expand its presence significantly in Iraq, or do you believe that the Mehdi Army and other militia groups could contain that expansion?

MS: I don't think they're very interested in expanding their presence in Iraq. They really need a very small presence in mostly, as you say, Anbar. It is the one place that was mentioned by bin Laden in his speech before the invasion where he said, that's where we're going to concentrate, that's where the heroes of Islam will be, in Anbar. I don't think it matters to them really whether we stay or not, the presence is established. One thing I read in the NIE that was I thought a little Pollyannish was the idea that Iraq's neighbors wouldn't be driving the violence in Iraq, and I think that's a mistake.

NIO: Yes, it said that not only would they not be driving the violence significantly, but that also they would not really be able to be drivers for stability in any substantial way.

MS: Well, they would not be drivers for stability because stability by the reality of the population would be a Shi'ite state. Which is exactly what the Egyptians, and the Jordanians, and the Saudis and the Kuwaitis don't want to be part of.

What the NIE said to me was, we're still, as an intelligence community at least in our publicly released documents, afraid to discuss and account for the power of religion. What we've created in Iraq is an arena for the playing out of the Sunni-Shi'ite confrontation that has been festering for a millennium.

And the NIE, at least what I've read of it, does not take account for the Sunni governments that are going to ride to the rescue of their brothers in Iraq. You know, in many ways it's going to be like Afghanistan over again, but Shi'ites are much more hated than the Russians. So Americans unfortunately tend to try to compartmentalize the world and we assume that when people say, when governments say, "We all want a stable, peaceful, prosperous Iraq," that each of those governments is defining it the same way America does. It's the problem we have in Afghanistan. The Saudis' definition of a peaceful, prosperous Afghanistan and a peaceful, prosperous Iraq are probably almost diametrically different to ours.

Protecting the administration, bipartisan elite

NIO: The other contention the NIE makes is that while Iran is now providing lethal support to its proxies in Iraq, "key Sunni regimes" are simply considering lending that type of support and that they're constraining their willingness to cooperate. It uses that sort of language to point to this dichotomy between so-called key Sunni regimes and Iranians and the Syrians. Do you believe that there is that dichotomy ...?

MS: Oh, there is no dichotomy. What the NIE does in its released public form is to protect not only this administration but also the bipartisan elite in the United States: their insistence that the Saudis and the Kuwaitis, and all the rest of the Sunni governments, are our allies. The Sunni governments have been involved in supporting their brethren from the first day. If you remember, it wasn't long after the invasion that we discovered that the Saudis had sent a medical hospital into Baghdad and it turned out to be a cover for their intelligence services.

They've been there from the first day. Only really a Pollyanna would believe that the Sunni governments weren't supporting their brethren in Iraq. You know it's - I could be too old and too cynical, but I've watched this for a long time, and you know, the first thing I thought for example, when Prince Turki [former Saudi ambassador to the US] left [New York] in such a hurry, was: he is the one guy in the Saudi government who has 15 years' experience in running guns to Sunni insurgents, and I wondered if that wasn't one of the reasons he hoofed out of town very quickly.

NIO: So you certainly see a kind of political hedging in the NIE, and it's interesting because if you do a News Google search, you see a wide variety of interpretations. You have Real Clear Politics, for example, saying "NIE report seems to back Bush Iraq plan", and then you have All American Patriots with the story "Senator [Joe] Biden: National Intelligence Estimate is devastating repudiation of the president's strategy in Iraq". So it seems like the document is a Rorschach test [a method of psychological evaluation], perhaps as a result of hedging.

An indictment of failure

MS: When I read the report, in its unclassified form - what I took from that was the classified version probably says as clearly as it can be said, given bureaucratic realities, that we're sunk in Iraq. Because if you read it, it lays out a whole litany of terrible things, and then it says, if these things happen, that could change. But the things they say need to happen would be close to miracles. I think that, to me, if this is the best they could do to make this palatable to the administration - for the publicly released form - the classified form must be just an indictment, if you will, of failure.

NIO: That point that the NIE made, which I mentioned before, about how al-Qaeda would attempt to use parts of the country, particularly al-Anbar province, to plan increased attacks in and outside Iraq in the event of a US troop withdrawal - that seems to validate one of the central rationales for the Iraq war, which is, "If we don't fight them there, we will be fighting them here." Do you believe that given a US troop withdrawal, al-Qaeda would ramp up its planning of attacks inside and outside of Iraq? Particularly of interest would be its plans for the United States. What's your view on that?

MS: Yeah, I don't think the possession or non-possession of Iraq makes any difference to the planning of al-Qaeda, because al-Qaeda's headquarters is in Afghanistan, where they're about to, over the next seven years, evict the US and NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization]. So the idea that somehow Iraq provides them a safe haven from which to plan attacks in the United States is kind of nonsense. Planning goes on where bin Laden and Zawahiri are, and that's in South Asia at the moment.

So I think that that's not a credible statement, and the idea of Mr [George W] Bush, with all respect for the office of the president, that we were going to fight them there instead of here is just ludicrous. There are 1.4 billion Muslims, there are plenty to go around.

I don't know if that was Mr Bush or Mr [Vice President Dick] Cheney, but that was always nonsense.

Scheuer's estimate

NIO: What would be your own intelligence estimate of the threat that al-Qaeda poses today?

MS: I think it's probably worse then it was on September 11, 2001. Not necessarily because they're stronger, simply because we've done nothing to defend the United States.

We didn't have to invade Iraq, and what we've done is really push the transformation that bin Laden has been aiming for of al-Qaeda, from a man and a group to a philosophy and an organization. But as an American citizen what I'm just utterly appalled by are basically three things. The president - not only not the president or the vice president but no one in the Democratic Party - has yet stood up and told the American people the truth about why we're fighting.

This is not about our liberties, our freedoms, our gender equality, it's about what we do in the Islamic world. And until we get some politician who will stand up and say that, we're not going to be able to even understand what the enemy is about.

The second thing is that the borders are still open. The idea that America can be defended without closing the borders, at least giving law enforcement the chance to find out who is in the country, is just not possible to do. We're losing in Iraq, we're losing in Afghanistan - one of the major reasons in both places is because we didn't close the borders. The enemy is constantly being reinforced and re-funded and re-equipped.

And then the third thing, probably the one that will come back to haunt, is the failure of the last three administrations to complete the securing of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, giving bin Laden now a 16-year window to purchase, build or steal some sort of a nuclear device out of the Soviet arsenal. You know, I think we're very much as a country and a government still at the drawing board.

NIO: In what regard? In terms of ...

MS: In terms of defending America. You know it's almost - perhaps it's not a very clever analogy, but when you're on the airplane and they're giving you the safety indoctrination, they say: "If we lose pressure, the air mask comes down, put it on yourself before you help your daughter or your wife or your grandfather." What we did is exactly the opposite after September 11. We've spent the whole period since September 11 trying to put the oxygen on the Afghan situation, the Iraq situation, the Somalia situation, and here at home, we're kind of gasping breath.

To me, as a former intelligence officer, I was impressed by what I think the released version of the NIE means about what's in the classified version.

NIO: That's very interesting.

Frank - and dire

MS: It strikes me very much that it's a very frank NIE. Certainly with the released version, because they're bureaucrats and politicians they dressed it up to make it less Cassandra-like. It's really kind of silly to say it, but I'm proud of the people who wrote that NIE because it sounds to me like it's a very factual, direct text.

NIO: And your point before being that that level of frankness suggests to you that the classified version is really quite dire and grim indeed. And if what we're getting unclassified is, I guess you could say, this pessimistic, then the classified version must be twofold in that regard, or threefold.

MS: The classified version is going to be backed up point-by-point by evidence, by reporting from the field, by signals intelligence, by what other countries are telling us. So yes, if the part that's available on the DNI's [Director of National Intelligence] website is as sweet and sunny as they could make it, the NIE itself must be a very frank document about, as you said, the dire situation in Iraq.

Poverty- "The Dirty Secret Nobody Talks About" Canadian society is more unequal today than at any time since the end of the Second World War, the era when “modern” Canada was created by...nation-building projects of universal pensions, unemployment insurance, hospital insurance, medicare, housing and federal support for post-secondary education. Canadians wanted a strong central government to guarantee they were available everywhere...Differences between people and provinces are now more important than what brings them together. And the differences are accelerated by the transformation of the tax system from seeking fairness to rewarding initiative."

It's Infinite, Not Zero Tolerance How easy it has become for the state to purge the very existence of healthy young men in a conflict zone like Kashmir. This has been a common thread binding one conflict to another across the globe. But when a democratic country like India, which believes in justice, equality and democracy resorts to the same tradition without questioning the logic of such tyranny, it appalls everyone. Does India today exercise what it actually stands for? From Kashmir's hot-bed of graves - Ganderbal, one story after another begins to churn out - all morbid and repulsive tales of what happened to a bunch of innocent men. Tales go beyond the confines of Ganderbal and emerge from across the Valley, even from other parts of the state. These are gory sagas of healthy young men, who had nothing to do with militancy or counter insurgency, who disappeared mysteriously and how their families have moved from pillar to post searching for them, lodging reports but only to be told that the whereabouts cannot be known. Some have finally found their sons buried in obscure grave-yards, laid to rest with the tag of foreign militant. Many others continue to wait. Many languish in jails, branded as terrorists.

Indian Leader Strongly Condemns Destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque's Walls Mufti Mukarram Ahmad, the Shahi Imam of Delhi's historic Fatehpuri Jama Mosque has said Israel’s destruction of part of Al-Aqsa mosque is part of a US-Zionist plan. Mukarram, a prominent Islamic scholar and leader, in an exclusive interview with IRNA said the continuing acts of destruction are a fraction of the bigger planned conspiracy of Zionist and American forces which includes the use of pressures tactics on the Islamic Republic of Iran and the earlier occupation and resulting turmoil in Iraq. He said, “The world community, particularly the Islamic world, should raise its voice against the Zionist ploy in the West Asian region, adding that Islamic psyche has been badly hurt and the acts of blasphemy should be strongly condemned across the board.” While commenting on role of the UN, he said the blatant involvement of the Americans in this episode shows that all rules and regulations laid down under the UN Charter and international law are for others to follow and not for the Zionists and the Americans.

Released suspect slams 'police state' for British Muslims A British man of Pakistani origin released by police after being arrested in anti-terror raids last week lashed out Thursday at the “draconian” treatment, which he says makes the country a “police state” for Muslims. Abu Bakr, who is working for a doctorate in Political Islam in Birmingham, also said he believed his arrest was aimed at diverting attention from the “cash-for-honours” investigation which is threatening to taint Prime Minister Tony Blair's final months in office. “These terror laws are designed specifically for Muslims…We are feeling the brunt of it all,” Bakr added.

Students Spill Coca-Cola's Profits When governments cut postsecondary funding in previous decades, cash-strapped universities quickly learned that exclusivity contracts with beverage companies could be a lucrative way to stay out of the red. But over the past half decade, a pattern has been emerging at postsecondary schools across North America. Student societies, upset about Coke's alleged human rights and environmental abuses in developing countries, have started taking matters into their own hands to cripple the deals.

The Criminalization of US Foreign Policy The World is at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in modern history. The US has embarked on a military adventure, "a long war", which threatens the future of humanity. At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, has humanity been closer to the unthinkable, a nuclear holocaust which could potentially spread, in terms of radioactive fallout, over a large part of the Middle East.

HSBC warns over US mortgage bad debt HSBC, Europe’s biggest bank, last night gave warning that bad debts in its troubled US mortgage lending business would be 20 per cent higher than forecast. The bank blamed the impact of slowing house price growth, which it said is being reflected in accelerated delinquency trends across the US sub-prime mortgage market. It said that the level of loan impairment provisions for 2006 for its mortgage services operations will be higher than is reflected in current market estimates. Analysts had previously expected HSBC to report a bad debt charge of $8.8 billion (£4.5 billion).

However, Kim said any moves by North Korea would be determined by the United States' attitude. ``We are going to make a judgment based on whether the United States will give up its hostile policy and come out toward peaceful coexistence,'' he said.

Shooting erupts on Israel-Lebanon border Lebanese troops deployed along the border with Israel opened fire late Wednesday as Israeli troops searched for Hezbollah bombs, drawing retaliatory fire, officials from both sides said. According to an Arab TV, it was the first time that shooting erupted across the border since shortly after an Aug. 14 cease-fire that ended a 34-day war between Israeli forces and the Lebanese Hezbollah Shia kafir militants. Lebanese troops opened fire on a bulldozer after it crossed the so-called Blue Line — the U.N.-demarcated boundary — and entered about 20 yards into Lebanon, Lebanese officials said. Israeli troops responded with tanks and light weapons, Israeli security officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The exchange occurred near the Lebanese village of Maroun el-Rass, which was the scene of heavy fighting in the summer war, in the central sector of the border. The Lebanese military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity pending the release of a formal statement from the army command, said the Lebanese army fired volleys of machine guns toward the bulldozer. Israeli forces responded with five anti-tank grenades that targeted an army armored vehicle and a transport jeep, the Lebanese officials said. Lebanese troops did not suffer any injuries. There was no immediate word of any Israeli casualties.

Tension mounts as Israel Jewish terrorists to bulldoze Al Aqsa Mosque gate Tension has mounted in the region as Israel is preparing to bulldoze the western gate of Al Aqsa Mosque. A senior Muslim cleric urged Palestinians on Tuesday to rush to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem to protest against nearby Israeli public works that he said threatens the site's foundations. Tayssir al-Tamami, head of religious courts in the Palestinian territories, delivered the call on Arab television channel, claiming that Israeli bulldozers were en route to what is the third holiest site in Islam. The bulldozers, he charged, intended to demolish a mound next to Dung Gate, one of the entrances into Jerusalem's Old City leading to the mosque compound. According to the Waqf religious trust, two underground rooms connected to the mosques lie under the mound, and that levelling the mound would threaten the foundation of the Al-Aqsa compound. "The occupation bulldozers are headed to the mosques to destroy the historic route from Dung Gate," Tamimi said the channel. He urged Palestinians to go "immediately" to the mosque compound to "protect" the site from the Israeli public works.

Cable Cutter: What the cable companies don’t want you to know about radical television in Canada There’s a big little story in Canada about radical possibilities for television that cable companies don’t want you to know. It’s a story worth close to a billion dollars -- money that should have been spent on creating community access television in every neighbourhood where cable companies sell cable. A few communities have claimed some of their share, but in most of Canada, the money goes into the pockets of the cable companies. What would happen if more communities demanded the community access funding that is their right under federal regulations?

US seeks $30bn in defence contracts with India The United States hopes to get a major share of the $30 billion India plans to spend over the next five years for boosting its defence and is also hopeful of winning a coveted Indian contract for 126 fighter jets, US and Indian lobbyists said. This week, the Washington-based US-India Business Council sent a large mission to India to participate in a defence show. The council emerged as the strongest Indian lobby in the United States during negotiations last year for the Indo-US nuclear deal. William S. Cohen, former US Secretary of Defence under President Clinton and CEO of the Cohen Group and Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering of the Boeing Company are leading the US delegation to the Aero India 2007 show, which starts on Feb 7. The 24-member delegation to Aero India 2007 hopes to win over several contracts for supplying military hardware to India. This will be the largest ever air show in India and will bring together the world’s leading producers of civilian and military aircraft and equipment.

The US delegation includes senior executives from the Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, General Electric, Raytheon, the Cohen Group, United Technologies Corporation/Pratt & Whitney, Bell Helicopter Textron, Emergent Bio-Solutions, L-3 Communications, and the Fremont Group. Many of these companies are displaying their equipment at the show. High-level meetings are scheduled with the government of India, including the Indian Ministry of Defence. "We are convinced that the US has the most capable aircraft. We will expect to prevail", Mr Cohen told reporters in New Delhi on Monday when asked whether the US was confident of winning a lucrative Indian Air Force contract for buying 126 fighter jets. "We are looking at increasing strategic partnership with India in not only aero space but across the entire spectrum of its defence sector. We would also like to set up our manufacturing base in India", he said.

India plans to announce soon a tender for purchasing 126 fighter aircrafts, estimated to cost nearly $10 billion, for which top of the line Russian, Swedish and French companies will also be competing. "The competition will be fair. It all depends on how it turns out. We are convinced we have the best aircraft", Mr Cohen said. "We are looking at a $30 billion opportunity in defence sector in India over the next five years”. Boeing has also offered to jointly produce the frontline F-18 Super Hornet in India if it wins the contract. The company will showcase the F/A-18f and C-17 transport aircraft and Chinook heavy lift chopper at the show. Lockheed Martin will display the cutting edge C-1130j and P-3c aircraft. The United States recently also sold a warship — USS Trenton — to India. Officials in Washington, however, say that the enhanced US defence ties with India will not impact Washington’s defence relationship with Pakistan. The US is the largest supply of military hardware to Pakistan and sold 36 new F-16s to Islamabad.

Position of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on Moss Qalla: You all are well aware of the attacks in Moss Qalla of Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan last year, which made lives very difficult for the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military soldiers plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army soldiers, forcing them to use the area elders to make a peace treaty with Mujahideen.

Many messages were send to the Mujahideen by American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces through the area elders, finally Mujahideen decided to make a treaty with the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces, on conditions that the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army should immediately leave the area and give the power to the area elders and never to entry the area again.

The American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army agreed and left the area with in an week time and up to last week the power was in the hands of the elders of that area, but the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army broke the treaty with Mujahideen, by taking the power back from the area elders and bombarded the area, martyring many civilians and destroyed many homes.

Mujahideen told the elders to tell the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army to abide by the treaty and stop the barbaric attacks against the civilian population and if they do not, then Mujahideen are fully capable of retaliating against them. The elders told the Mujahideen that they were unsuccessful in convincing the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army to stop the attacks against the civilian population. So finally after many warning to the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army on Thursday Mujahideen launched a massive attack, taking complete control of the area, and discharging the area elders from running the administration of that area.

American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army have disrespected the elders, no longer will Mujahideen make such treaty with the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces and Afghan National Army.

If the Afghan people of that area come to the Mujahideen and requests that they should not be in the area, cause the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military plus NATO terrorists forces will bombard the area and kill their love ones and destroy their homes, then Mujahideen will pass that request to the higher Mujahideen commanders and see what the Shura suggests, causes Mujahideen do not want to see civilians feel any hardship from their side.
