Afghan news media reporting that an Afghan National Army (ANA) soldier has escaped from prison. He was arrested last week after killing a Slovak-NATO soldier, and wounding at least three others. The reports say his escape was facilitated by other ANA soldiers!
ISAF reports that a U.S. led NATO troop was killed by “direct fire” in eastern Afghanistan. Mujahideen have reported killing several U.S./NATO personnel in eastern provinces, but they don’t give enough details regarding how they were killed.
Despite U.S. news media reports saying Mujahideen attacks are down, the Afghan Defense Ministry admitted they are actually up! Afghan General Zahir Azimi also admitted that currently the Afghan government forces can not handle the increased attacks by Mujahideen. This is in direct contradiction with ISAF General Heinz Feldmann, who said Afghan government forces were ready to take over from U.S./NATO.
Another ISAF commander, Major General Dieter Warnecke, revealed that U.S. led NATO/ISAF has military plans for Afghanistan past the 2014 pullout date: “Much of this work will continue into the NATO Resolute Support mission in 2015. I’m convinced about it. Our strong international commitment to this nation and to the Afghan people will endure.”
Officials with the Afghan Defense Ministry say they’ve caught Pakistani troops/insurgents who’ve infiltrated the ANA using fake ANA ID cards! Afghan General Taj Mohammad Jahid made the announcement on Radio Free Europe.
In Ghazni Province, a 12 years old boy blew himself up with a bicycle bomb near an ANA/NATO military convoy. He was killed, an Afghan cop was wounded.
In Helmand Province, Nawzad district, Mujahideen say they destroyed a Georgian/ISAF tank, killing the crew. And in the United Kingdom/United States controlled area, in Sangin town, a British journalist revealed institutionalized sexual abuse of boys by police. The issue has many Canadian soldiers in therapy. Canadian soldiers were told to ignore it, and they claim even U.S./U.K-NATO personnel took part in the child sex crimes. A U.S. Marine Corps Major tried to confront local police about it but was rebuked. The British journalist spent six years documenting the war under the U.K./U.S., including the sex crimes. He has released a documentary called This is What Winning Looks Like! By the way, Sangin town is also considered a major hub of opium production!
In Baghlan Province, Baghlan-e-Markazi District, NATO/ISAF forces conducted home invasions. One person killed, two kidnapped.
In Kunar Province, reports that people are abandoning their villages because of repeated U.S./NATO airstrikes.
In Nangarhar Province, Jalalabad city, a motorcycle bomb exploded, killing two people and wounding three. One person killed worked for Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS, domestic spy agency) and the other person killed was a Afghan National Police (ANP) officer.
The Afghanistan National Archives revealed they have 7000 historical documents pertaining to Iran, documents not currently found in Iran. Afghan officials say they will send Iran digital copies of those documents.
