Ehsanullah Ehsan the spokesperson for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Taliban Jamaat ul Ahrar (TTP JA) claimed responsibility for an attack on the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) office on Nisatta Road in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa part of what TTPJA termed the “heathen Pakistan state”. The city is located 30 miles (50km) north-west of Peshawar. Ehsan said, “NADRA is an important part of the war all institutions that are part of the war it will be targeted. In Sha Allah.”

According to DAWN media, a person on a motorcycle detonated an explosive vest after trying to gain entry to the site by ramming a gate. A security guard blocked the attacker from entering the premises. Zeeshan Hoti, President at Provincial Youth Assembly KP posted on Twitter that the death toll had risen to 28 (unconfirmed) with 86 injured, 55 in a critical condition. Mardan police Deputy Inspector General Saeed Wazie told BBC Urdu’s Adil Shahzeb, “if the attacker had not been stopped at the office’s gate, the death toll would be significantly higher.” Cyber journalist Khalid Khan alleged a “minor child” was amongst those injured.

Back in November 2014 TTP JA claimed responsibility for a devastating attack on the border post of Wagah in east Pakistan. Over 60 people were killed, 110 injured when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives following a flag lowering ceremony on the outskirts of Lahore. At that time Ehsan said, “this is message for the governments of both sides of the border, if we can attack on one side, we can also attack on other side (India)” see following link,

“earlier in December, a search and strike operation was launched in Mardan, resulting in the arrest of about 327 suspected persons, including 16 illegally staying Afghan nationals, and persons involved in various crimes.

Mardan District Police Officer Faisal Shehzad, talking to media persons, had disclosed that the search and strike operation was carried out in Par Hoti, Bashkhali, Gujraat, Iranabad, Chora, Bhaijan, Surakh Dheray, Katakhet, Barikab, Galyara and localities adjoining the city.”

On Monday 21^st December 2015 the United Nations Security Council renewed their illegal sanctions against the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan at a time as the advancements of the Mujahideen began rekindling the hopes of perpetual peace and the impassive aspirations of the nation have begun showing life.

The corrupt Kabul administration also welcomed this cruel abhorrent decision of the UNSC and asked for even more sanctions against the Islamic Emirate.

On the other hand the barbaric occupation forces are directly engaged in the Helmand fighting, are carrying out blind airstrikes on residential areas, are carrying out night raids in various provinces and reports are emerging that Daesh elements are being transported by helicopters into Nangarhar in spite of the fact that the airbases and airspace of our beloved homeland are under the control of the invaders which is a clear proof that the invaders are commanding Daesh.

The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns the sanctions by the UNSC and recent actions of the enemy and wishes to turn the attention of its respected nation, people of the world and international peace loving forces towards the new obstacles created in front of real long-lasting peace:

1. The above mentioned decision by the United Nations Security Council

2. Anti-peace declarations by groups within the Kabul setup and backers of this administration

3. Recent moves by the invaders aimed at protracting this war

4. Reports by invaders and Kabul administration officials regarding support for Daesh

5. Direct involvement by British forces in Helmand fighting

6. Welcoming of UNSC sanctions decision by Kabul administration and request for further sanctions

We see the above obstacles created in front of peace as an intentional effort to sabotage the peace process and consider these steps the main cause of the protraction of war in our beloved homeland.

We have repeatedly declared to our nation and the international community that the invaders seek to keep our country under perpetual occupation in order to turn it into a hub for controlling the region, threatening nations and achieving their imperialist goals. Their promises have no meaning while their rhetoric and actions always contradict each other.

Since the invading enemy has not retracted from its occupational goals therefore the Afghan Mujahid nation will continue its Jihadi struggle until the complete independence and establishment of an Islamic system. It will continue its obligation of Jihad against the malevolent ambitions of the invaders courageously and in complete unity in order to free the country from the clutches of the invaders and their stooges and hand them a historical exemplary lesson.

In these past few days the executive chairman of Kabul administration – Abdullah Abdullah – has been living in Shanghai city of China and holding meetings with heads of some countries such as the Russian Prime Minister. During these meetings he reportedly asked for military aid from Russia in his supposed fight against terrorism.

This begs certain question in the ordinary Afghan’s mind. For example why are these two enemies of yesterday, bedfellows of today? Why are these farce representatives of Mujahideen insisting on luring their enemy of yore back to Afghanistan? Are there in fact terrorists in Afghanistan that need to be combated? Do the interests of Abdullah, Russia, NATO and America converge in this supposed fight against terrorism?

All in all, America, the NATO alliance and Russia all agree in principle that anything that bears the name of Jihad is equivalent with terrorism. Then how can Abdullah – who calls himself the true representative of the Mujahideen and the Jihad movement – cajole his erstwhile enemies in suppressing terrorism (read Jihad)? Does he forget that until yesterday these very same countries were calling him and his kin terrorists and actively supported efforts to bring them to justice through international arbitration?

Can Abdullah answer the question that is on the lips of every one of his countrymen: why is Abdullah asking for Russian aid when until yesterday he was the one fighting them? If fighting for your country is terror then Abdullah should also be included in this list since he calls himself the champion of those that resisted Russian invasion of Afghanistan?

Was your struggle and Jihad against the Najeeb’s communist government simply so you could sit in his place? If you truly believed in the evil of Russia at the time then why are you actively courting her today?

If America and the Jews and Christians call for the fight against terrorism at least they believe in their cause in the sense that they consider their fight a crusade against the revival of Islam. You on the other hand are only fighting to maintain your seat of power and your empty rhetoric does nothing but mock their sacred belief in fighting Islamists.

Alas how you play with the blood of innocent Afghans. While you were also accused in the past of having covert contacts with the Russians, today you have revealed the reality under your mask and how you will steep the most reprehensible actions just to preserve your political authority.

By such actions the Chief Executive of the Kabul administration does nothing but reveal his short sightedness, and his desperation by clinging onto straws to prolong his ecstasy that he now feels under his newfound authority.

Just remember Mr. Chief Executive that you were never the representative of any segment of the Afghan society, especially not those that fought in the sacred war against the Soviets. What you are fighting for are far removed from what that gallant generation aspired towards.

Yesterday Pajhwok news agency published a report claiming that a young man named Fazl Ahmad was killed by the Taliban and his eyes gouged out in Qazyano area of Dawlat Yar district, Ghor province.

We strongly condemn this inhumane act and have launched an investigation to find the culprits and punish them in accordance with Shariah. We are shocked about this incident and sympathize with the victim’s family. We have tried to contact the father (Ahmad Khan) of this young man in order to extend our condolences and ask him about the details of the incident but were unable due to bad telecommunication signal.

We once again reiterate and promise to continue our investigation into the matter until we have found the culprits and punished them accordingly.

Reham Khan has a history of “misinformation” (Image, India Express)

According to Dawn media, Reham Khan a journalist working for Neo TV has now responded to a legal notice from her ex husband Dr Ijaz Rehman in which “he had asked her to pay him 100 million rupees and submit a written apology for allegedly damaging his reputation.”

Dawn reported the following in relation to defamatory comments allegedly made by Khan against Dr Rehman during an interview to a TV channel,

“Advocate Khurram Hashmi replied to the legal notice on behalf of Ms Khan on Monday, saying that Mr Rehman’s claim was baseless. According to the reply, Ms Khan had spoken in her interview about domestic violence in general and it was not specifically about Mr Rehman.”

However Khan appears to trip herself up once again in her own words referring to the interview within an article she wrote for the Guardian newspaper on 17th November 2015. In the following paragraph she refers to “my experience of domestic abuse” which is not general but very specific. She states,

“Back in January, as Imran and I arrived home from our walima reception in Islamabad, I was told that we would be sitting together to give our first-ever TV interview as newlyweds. Totally unprepared, without even having the chance to change out of my bridal outfit, I was put on the hot seat to face millions of people. The anchor sprang a surprise: he said his research had shown that I had been a victim of domestic violence in my first marriage. Unprepared for a question no one had ever asked me before – about a traumatic memory that I had locked away – I tried to answer in a balanced fashion and said: “I’m not scarred by my experience of domestic violence. It is a huge issue, though. I have never spoken about my own experience before, but this issue needs a lot of awareness.”

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/nov/17/reham-khan-imran-khan-pakistan-politics-marriage-divorce

As Khan notes, the question referred specifically to allegations that “I had been a victim of domestic violence in my first marriage” Khan’s reference in reply to “my experience of domestic abuse” (as opposed to domestic violence in general) as she writes clearly in the Guardian, can surely only be referring to Dr Rehman, her first marriage. So it would appear Dr Rehman’s claim of defamation still stands?

If a person makes an accusation of domestic abuse, that would then need to be proven legally in a court of law with a successful prosecution. Until then it is merely an allegation. Regarding Khan’s allegations, Dr Rehman stated, “there is no police record, Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check clear and no court proved it.”

Khan has a history of “misinformation” a word used by former husband politician Imran Khan to describe her apparent memory loss. She appeared confused previously giving an incorrect location where she had studied in the UK which resulted in a rapid change of information about herself on her website.

Even in this current freezing weather the frontlines of Jihad against infidelity and corruption are being kept warm by the valiant Mujahideen. Everyday reports are being published about Mujahideen cleansing and liberating large areas from the enemy forces.

One of the provinces where Mujahideen are continuously taking over territory in this biting cold is Helmand. Mujahideen managed to completely liberate Musa Kala and Nawzad districts earlier this year and at the same time cut off all enemy routes and laid sieges to the district centers Kajaki, Sangin, Babaji and Marjah.

About two weeks earlier the district of Khani Sheen along with its administration center and military bases was completely liberated by the heroic Mujahideen who seized a sizable amount of weapons, ammunition, vehicles and other military gear from the enemy in the process. NATO Special Forces and their local auxiliaries launched a counter attack to retake control but were handed an exemplary lesson by the Mujahideen supported by Allah Almighty.

Over the past week Mujahideen have also managed to take over large enemy bases and numerous check posts in Sangin and Gerishk districts, dealing heavy material and corporeal losses to the enemy as well as getting their hands of a large chunk of arms, ammunition and equipment.

The officials appointed by the Kabul regime for Helmand are in such a state of shock about the situation on the ground that they cannot even synchronize their statements. Yesterday the deputy governor of Helmand (Rasoulyar) warned and pleaded to the supposed commander-in-chief Ashraf Ghani in an open letter through a social media post that if immediate action is not undertaken the entire province of Helmand will be lost. He also admitted that over the past 24 hours over 90 army and police personnel have been killed and dozens wounded in the clashes raging in Gerishk and Sangin districts.

Rasoulyar also lifted the veil from many other bitter realities namely that all the district centers of Helmand are under sieges and their logistic routes cut-off by the Taliban whereas the only one not facing immediate threat of collapse is Gerimsir.

Over the past years the Mujahideen used to either cut back on or completely forgo frontal warfare and instead implemented hit-and-run tactics during the winter season. But this year they have not only adopted their usual strategy but added to it through large scale offensive attacks, suspending the little downtime of the enemy and completely wearing down their already depleted morale.

The northern districts of Helmand were already in the hands of Mujahideen but with the ongoing conquests in the southern regions of Marjah, Nad Ali, Khani Sheen, Chanjir and Babaji has limited the enemy influence to the capital Lashkargah. Even in Lashkargah the forces of the Islamic Emirate have filtered into PD#5 and opened an active frontline in the provincial capital.

It is hoped that the valiant Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate will soon completely fold up the little left repugnant control of the invaders and their lackeys over the martyrdom-loving soil of Helmand and unfurl the white flag of tranquility over its valleys and mountains, lush greenery and barren deserts.

PARWAN, Dec.21 – Al-Emarah News said Monday at least 19 US aggressors were killed in a vehicle-borne martyr attack near Bagram base in northern Parwan province in the early afternoon hours of the day.

Zahidullah, a fearless Mujahid part of the martyr unit of the Islamic Emirate slammed his motorbike filled with explosives near a large number of the US invading troops gathered near the Bagram base, blowing as many as 19 American invaders to bits and leaving several others wounded.

Soon after the attack, the US attack and ambulance helicopters arrived at the scene to transfer the dead and wounded and the area was cordoned off.

Needless to say the US makes every attempt either to deny or keep a lid on such reports or their fatalities to pull the wool over the nation’s eyes so as to make it appear as if the US invading troops are never at war, that is, not engaged in any of the armed conflicts whereas the US-led forces suffer fatal losses across the country in such attacks, bombings and firefight with Mujahideen combatants.

Over the past 15 years all high ranking officials of the United States and NATO who have visited Afghanistan have done so unexpectedly due to the absolute fear cast into their hearts by the Mujahidin. They have always entered Afghanistan during the dark of the night and have left rather quickly in a state of complete cowardice.

Ashton Carter, the United States Defense Secretary also made an unexpected trip to Afghanistan last Friday and conducted quick meetings with his troops and Kabul officials at Bagram and Nangarhar before leaving in a haste.

The secretary of defense visited Nangarhar and spent several hours there, raising the eyebrows of the masses and many analysts because the main US headquarters and command and control center of the US is Bagram airbase while no significant incident has taken place in Nangarhar either which could warrant a visit  by such a high ranking official.

A day before the arrival of Ashton Carter, the commander of American forces in Afghanistan General Campbell spoke about the presence of ‘Daesh’ in Nangarhar and stated that this group is seeking to grow in this province and turn it into its stronghold.

The visit by secretary of defense Ashton Carter immediately following the remarks of General Campbell gave a physical form to doubts that America wants to keep the group ‘Daesh’ alive while encouraging its growth with the aim of advancing its regional goals and creating further anarchy for the Afghans.

A few days prior to the visit of the defense secretary, a powerful FM radio under the title ‘Khilafa’ also began broadcasting in most parts of Nangarhar province. It is said that this radio station and its machinery is operated from inside Jalalabad airbase or from a secure intelligence building because the daily propaganda disseminated from start to finish solely abuses Jihadi tenets and Afghan valor, clearly indicating that this radio station is funded and protected by specially designated intelligence units of Kabul and US administrations.

Reports also say that the Nangarhar provincial National Directorate Services are working alongside Afghan ‘Daesh’ elements who outwardly oppose and have shown a distaste for their ‘Khurasan’ branch leader Hafiz Sayed Khan.

A famous British tabloid ‘The Daily Mirror’ recently published a report stating that a group of hackers (VandaSec) who did research on all openly pro Daesh websites floating around the web claim that many Daesh supporter social media accounts which seem to be based in Saudi Arabia are in fact being run from internet addresses linked to the ‘Department of Work and Pension’ in London.

Looking at the above witnesses and reasoning one can safely assume that the visit by the US defense secretary to Nangarhar was definitely not for creating plans to counter the threat posed by Daesh rather America seeks to implant Daesh roots deeper into Nangarhar and create further headaches for the Afghans nation after the failure of the Arbaki militia and ‘Local Uprising’ programs.

TTP rejected Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (above) as Caliph. (Image REUTERS/Social Media Website via Reuters TV)

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) have rejected Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as IS as Caliph, head of the state according to a statement released on Sunday. According to the BBC,

“he emerged as the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, one of the groups that later became Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), in 2010, and rose to prominence during the attempted merger with al-Nusra Front in Syria.

He did not swear allegiance to the leader of the al-Qaeda network, Zawahiri, who had urged ISIS to focus on Iraq and leave Syria to al-Nusra.”

On 29 June 2014, ISIL announced the establishment of a world-wide Caliphate with al-Baghdadi as the Caliph.

TTP who are fighting for a Sharia based system according to the Quran, although an independent group, have traditionally allied with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Afghan Taliban) who also rejected al-Baghdadi. IEA have been involved in fierce fighting with Wilayat Khorasan, the IS linked group in Afghanistan/Pakistan. Earlier this year, as Reuters stated, “the Afghan Taliban sent a letter to al-Baghdadi to stop recruiting in Afghanistan, saying there is room for only ‘one flag, one leadership’ in their fight to re-establish strict Islamist rule.”

Back in 2014 several commanders from TTP defected from their group to join Wilayat Khorasan and later released a video giving allegiance to al-Baghdadi in early 2015 see,

https://activist1.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/are-is-gaining-a-foothold-in-afpak-new-video-release-shows-some-allegiance-in-the-region/

TTP have now stated reasons why they reject al-Baghdadi, published in Dawn media,

“Baghdadi is not Khalifa (caliph) because in Islam, Khalifa means that he has command over all the Muslim world, while Baghdadi has no such command; he has command over a specific people and territory,” the Pakistan Taliban said in the statement.

“Baghdadi is not an Islamic Khalifa because his selection is not according to Islamic rules,” the statement said, adding that the IS leader had little control in Muslim countries like Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan.

“Baghdadi’s caliphate is not Islamic because in a real caliphate you provide real justice while Baghdadi’s men kill many innocent mujahideen (fighters) of other groups”
