Kabul has been infiltrated by terrorists, fighting has intensified while Taliban and al-Qaeda activities is on the rise.

The head of NATO-led peacekeepers German General Gotz Gliemeroth painted this bleak picture of security across Afghanistan at the monthly press briefing in Kabul on Tuesday. General Gotz Gliemeroth warned: "No doubt there are clear indications of an increase in terrorist threats both in Kabul and other regions of Afghanistan, there are also indications that a number of terrorists have infiltrated Kabul ahead of the holy month of Ramazan."

The general said, "Additionally, fighting in the south and the southeast has intensified, and infiltration by al-Qaeda, Taliban and other terrorist groups is becoming an increasing problem for peacekeepers."

Attacks on aid workers and security forces by resurgent Taliban killed 300 people since August, Gliemeroth said adding that 5,300-strong International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the 12,500-strong US-dominated military coalition had taken "significant steps" to counter the rising terrorist threats.

General Gliemeroth further said that the ISAF would also assist the Afghan the efforts of authorities in providing security for the upcoming Loya Jirga, which would meet in December to approve the new constitution of the country.

In Afghanistan zijn ze nu inderdaad desperate... Ze hebben nu de voormalige Taliban minister van Buitenlandse zaken Mulla Wakil Ahmad Mutawwakil Mutawwakil vrijgelaten op voorwaarde dat hij trouw zou zweren aan Karzai... Alsof dat iets gaat helpen..

Dave: die waren er wel. Wist je niet dat er bijvoorbeeld een aanslag is gepleegd op Uday?

Alleen Saddam was zo para dat hij nooit buiten kwam... Dus een aanslag was zeer moeilijk. Verzetsdaden waren er ook, maar dacht je dat die door de Iraaks censor kwamen? :p

Ik doelde eigenlijk niet alleen op het verzet in Irak zelf, maar ook daarbuiten. Ik denk toch niet dat we hier in Nederland bijvoorbeeld gehinderd werden door de Iraakse censuur, laat staan een persoon als Al Qaida.

Ik snap niet wat je bedoelt.

Hoe kan je tegen Saddam strijden in Nederland?

Met pen, papier en het gesproken woord! Dezelfde manier waarop nu tegen de Amerikaanse bezetting wordt geageerd dus.

Islamitische groepen hebben weldegelijk opgeroepen om Saddam af te zetten. Dit soort oproepen worden echter niet gemeld in de Europese pers.. Het is immers niet interessant nieuws, zolang er geen Europeanen bij betrokken zijn. Ansar Al Islam streed bijvoorbeeld tegen Saddam in Iraq. Ook het SCIRI streed tegen Saddam en waarschuwde voor de oorlog tegen de invasie van de Amerikanen.
