   Hekmatyar Offers US Forces Safe Exit

November 10, 2009

�Instead of murdering muslims, TTP should fight the US in Afghanistan� � Says the Afghan mujahideen commander

KABUL � Former Afghan Prime Minister and founder of the Afghan resistance party Hizb-e-Islami, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has offered western forces a �safe passage� once the US announces a complete withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan, alongwith NATO.

In a new video aired by a private TV channel, Hekmatyar is also said to have confirmed that Osama Bin Laden is still alive, however he did not say where he believed the Al Qaeda chief was. He also blamed the fall of the Taliban government on Al Qaeda�s misguided ideology and failed strategy, saying he did not agree with �murdering ten muslims to kill one of the enemy� � in reference to indiscriminate terrorist attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan that have killed thousands of civilians.

Hekmatyar also added that Iran, India and Israel were supporting the American cause in Afghanistan despite having �problems with each other�. He condemned the suicide attacks in Pakistan and urged �those people who had launched a war against Pakistani security forces� � a thinly veiled reference to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan � that they should fight against foreign forces in Afghanistan instead.

This comes after repeated calls by Mullah Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, asking the TTP to join the Afghan Taliban in the fight against the US and NATO forces in Afghanistan instead of �murdering fellow muslims� in Pakistan.

The TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) is lead by Hakimullah Mehsud and is on record for issuing statements against leaders of Kashmiri Mujahideen groups threatening to eliminate their leadership if they did not stop fighting in Kashmir and start attacking Pakistan Army instead. TTP militants also massacred 20 members of Jama�at-ud-Dawa after a Jirga in Mohmand Agency in 2008, and according to Pakistani military and intelligence officials receives arms and funds from Western and Indian intelligence agencies based inside Afghanistan.

	US Offers Taliban 6 Provinces for 8 Bases SLAMABAD � The emboldened Taliban movement in Afghanistan turned down an American offer of power-sharing in exchange for accepting the presence of foreign troops, Afghan government sources confirmed. "US negotiators had offered the Taliban leadership through Mullah Wakil Ahmed Mutawakkil (former Taliban foreign minister) that if they accept the presence of NATO troops in Afghanistan, they would be given the governorship of six provinces in the south and northeast," a senior Afghan Foreign Ministry official told IslamOnline.net requesting anonymity for not being authorized to talk about the sensitive issue with the media. He said the talks, brokered by Saudi Arabia and Turkey, continued for weeks at different locations including the Afghan capital Kabul. Saudi Arabia, along with Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, were the only states to recognize the Taliban regime which ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. Turkish Prime Minister Reccap Erodgan has reportedly been active in brokering talks between the two sides. His emissaries are in contact with Hizb-e-Islami (of former prime minister Gulbadin Hikmatyar) too because he is an important factor in northeastern Afghanistan." A Taliban spokesman admitted indirect talks with the US. "Yes, there were some indirect talks, but they did not work," Yousaf Ahmedi, the Taliban spokesman in southern Afghanistan, told IOL from an unknown location via satellite phone. "There are some people who are conveying each others� (Taliban and US) messages. But there were no direct talks between us and America," he explained. Afghan and Taliban sources said Mutawakkil and Mullah Mohammad Zaeef, a former envoy to Pakistan who had taken part in previous talks, represented the Taliban side in the recent talks. The US Embassy in Kabul denied any such talks. "No, we are not holding any talks with Taliban," embassy spokeswoman Cathaline Haydan told IOL from Kabul. Asked whether the US has offered any power-sharing formula to Taliban, she said she was not aware of any such offer. "I don't know about any specific talks and the case you are reporting is not true." Provinces for Bases Source say that for the first time the American negotiators did not insist on the "minus-Mullah Omer" formula, which had been the main hurdle in previous talks between the two sides. The Americans reportedly offered Taliban a form of power-sharing in return for accepting the presence of foreign troops. "America wants 8 army and air force bases in different parts of Afghanistan in order to tackle the possible regrouping of Al-Qaeda network," the senior official said. He named the possible hosts of the bases as Mazar-e-Sharif and Badakshan in north, Kandahar in south, Kabul, Herat in west, Jalalabad in northeast and Ghazni and Faryab in central Afghanistan. In exchange, the US offered Taliban the governorship of the southern provinces of Kandahar, Zabul, Hilmand and Orazgan as well as the northeastern provinces of Nooristan and Kunar. These provinces are the epicenter of resistance against the US-led foreign forces and are considered the strongholds of Taliban. Orazgan and Hilmand are the home provinces of Taliban Supreme Commander Mullah Omer and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. "But Taliban did not agree on that," said the senior official. "Their demand was that America must give a deadline for its pull out if it wants negotiations to go on."
