Pakistani man beheadedThe former Pakistani Taliban leaders who have announced their allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISSI) on Saturday released a video purportedly showing the beheading of a man whom they identify as a Pakistani military soldier.
According to the SITE Inteligence Group, the video was released by ISIS on Twitter and Jihadi forums, showing the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP’s) former spokesman Shahidullah Shahid along with dozens of other militants in a wooded area.
SITE Intelligence Group is a US-based terrorism monitor which offers a variety of services to assist in monitoring and understanding jihadist news and trends.
The video released on Saturday also purports to show militant leaders who identify themselves as from Afghanistan and Pakistan pledging their support to the Islamic State group.
This comes as the residents of soutehrn Helmand province of Afghanistan have said that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has started operations in this province.
According to the local resients the group is led by a local commander identified as Abdul Rauf are operting in Zamin Dawar area of Sangin and also parts of Kajaki district.
The security institutions in Afghanistan have not independently confirmed the operations of ISIS in Afghanistan. However, insurgents belonging to a faction of the Hezb-e-Islami led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar said earlier in September last year that they consider to join the Islamic State militants who are currently fighting in Syria and Iraq.
This comes as a notorious anti-government armed militant commander who is believed to have links with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), was also arrested by Afghan security forces in Paktia province earlier in December last year.

In latest beheading video, former Taliban members pledge allegiance to Islamic State

A video released Saturday shows what appears to be former members of the Pakistani Taliban pledging allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in a presentation that concluded with the beheading of a captured Pakistani soldier.

Ex-Pakistani Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid and a handful of militants begin the video, which was recorded in an undisclosed wooded area, by pledging their unwavering support to the Islamic State.

Many of the militants in the video, including Shahid, who actually announced his support for the Islamic State back in October, claim to hail from Afghanistan and Pakistan, which raises questions about whether the Islamic State's ranks are actually swelling with disaffected recruits from other terrorists groups.

The video concludes with a beheading.

“The SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based terrorism monitor, said the video was released by the Islamic State group on Twitter and jihadi forums,” the Associated Press reported.

“The video is sure to raise concerns about whether the Islamic State group has found support in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a region already awash with dozens of militant groups. Taliban militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan owe their allegiance to Mullah Omar, a cleric who has led the Taliban since the 1990s and hasn't been publicly heard from for years,” the report added.

Although the area where the video was recorded has yet to be identified, it appears to be the same mountainous terrain located between Pakistan and Afghanistan, an area long familiar to Taliban militants.

“The militants frequently target Pakistani troops who have been carrying out missions in the country's northwest. There was no immediate comment from Pakistan's military or government,” the AP reported.

The Islamic State group controls roughly a third of Syria and Iraq, and a U.S.-led coalition is targeting the group in airstrikes.

On Saturday, the U.S. military said it carried out 12 strikes on the group in Syria and three strikes in Iraq, the AP reported. Eleven of the coalition airstrikes in Syria targeted Islamic State group positions around the long-embattled town of Kobani.

“A number of tribal leaders, jihadi commanders and some ulema (religious council members) and other people have contacted me to tell me that Mullah Rauf had contacted them and invited them to join him,” Khan told the Associated Press.
According to Khan, the Taliban group warned people not to contact Rauf.
This comes as local residents of Sangin district in Helmand province said a group of insurgents in black uniforms have started movements in the district carrying black flags and vehicles.
The local residents also confirmed that the group is led by a local commander identified as Abdul Rauf are operting in Zamin Dawar area of Sangin and also parts of Kajaki district.

Mosul diaries: Poisoned by water
The first concrete evidence has emerged of attempts to recruit fighters in Afghanistan for the so-called Islamic State (IS).

A former Taliban commander in Helmand province, Mullah Abdul Rauf, has declared his allegiance to IS.

An elder from the Sangin district, Sayeduddin Sanginwal, told the BBC that the new group had fought with the Taliban after replacing white Taliban flags with the black flags of IS.

He said about 20 people from both sides had been killed and injured.

The deputy commander of the Afghan army unit responsible for the area, General Mahmood, confirmed that he had received reports of the new group within the past few days.

He said they were trying to win support for the IS cause, and they were "preparing to fight".

The leader of the new movement, Mullah Abdul Rauf, was a former senior Taliban commander who spent six years in Guantanamo Bay after being captured by US forces in 2001.

Some of his followers have reportedly shifted allegiance to the IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
There had been reports that he had fallen out with the leader of the movement Mullah Omar.

'Same people, same programmes'
Rauf is a distant relative of the Governor of Nimruz province, Amir Mohammed, who said that the commander had lost a leg before being taken to Guantanamo.

The governor said that IS had already attempted to recruit people in Farah, another south-western province, but had been driven out by local people with the help of the police.

He said they were all the same: "Once they fought under al-Qaeda name, then as Taliban, and now IS, they are the same people with the same programmes."

In another sign that the Taliban are facing internal challenges, a former spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban has appeared in a video online, saying that there were several IS commanders operating, and that the Pakistani Taliban were now allied to the movement.

There is no independent verification of this claim, but the video had images of several commanders across Afghanistan who were also said to be now backing IS.

In the video they claim to have shifted their allegiance from the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, to the IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

This represents the first serious challenge to the coherence of the Taliban leadership for many years.

Elders who have seen years of civil war are aghast to see the rise of Islamic State
Omar has not been seen in public since 2001.

His fighters have continued their assault on Afghan military targets, even after the end of foreign combat operations at the end of 2014. And despite sustaining very heavy casualties, particularly among the police, Afghan forces have held their ground.

New group emerging?
A major ceremonial event has been held in the headquarters of the military garrison in Helmand province to tell political leaders that the Afghan forces are now in control.

Huge areas of the base, called Camp Bastion by British forces, are now deserted as Afghan forces occupy only a small part of it.

Commanders say that the fighting season has gone on through an unseasonably dry and mild winter in Afghanistan - but if IS does succeed in infiltrating Afghanistan, the nature of the war will change.

Elders who came into the base to witness the show of military strength said that they had seen the Russians come and go, and now the British and Americans, but they hoped that Islamic State would not come.

Afghan forces have now assumed control of the Camp Bastion military base
There are also accounts that a group called Khorasan has been attempting to recruit fighters in Wardak province.

Khorasan is an old name for Afghanistan, and is a word that carried mythical overtones for some Muslims after an ancient prophecy that black flags would once again fly in Khorasan before the end of the world.

The US said that an air strike near Aleppo in Syria last September was on a base used by a previously unknown group also called Khorasan.

This group was allied to Islamic State, but it is not clear if there is any connection with the attempts to win support for Khorasan in Afghanistan.

This all appears to mean that the Afghan conflict is entering a new and unstable phase.

There have been more direct suicide attacks recently on civilians - including a volleyball game - which had not been Taliban targets in the past.

If Mullah Omar is losing his grip and Islamic State has infiltrated the country, then it will represent the biggest challenge yet to the new government of President Ashraf Ghani, who has only now announced a cabinet after more than three months in office.

Mullah Omar is dead donkey who is rotting in hell right now. His retarded rule was finished by the first US bomb on Afghan soil, the taliban that are fighting now are sponcored by Pakistan for its dirty games, the rest are just loser who could not find a better life meaning than killing inocent people. The only reason they excist is becuase Afghan goverment is corrupt and weak. And they will overrun Afghanistan once again, the chance is now even bigger due to the **** head of Ghani coming up with such stupid team.

Wow Khostia, your pretty frustrated. If one looks at the philosophy of the situation.

You have a foreign force depose rulers in a society that originally came to power from a chaotic situation. The foreign force puts rivals of those deposed rulers in power.

First you must realize that the foreign force is only going to support the new rulers as long as its in their interest. When the interests change, the rulers would change also. An example would be of how the US supported the majahadeen because the majahadeen served US interests at the time and now are supporting the ex-communists who they sought to depose in the 80's.

Ghani will never be allowed to create a Pashtun powerhouse(I am assuming this is what Pashtun nationalists aim is) or a regime free of corruption because that is not in US interests. A corrupt regime is easier to control and is more compliant to its master. The US is using Abdullah as a counter balance to Ghani. If Ghani does not comply, they will use Abdullah's threat of separation as a counter measure, and if Abdullah decides not to comply, they will use Pashtun nationalist threat of domination. They will not allow either side to achieve victory over the other. It is the old divide and rule tactic.

But all this should be expected. All societies work for what they perceive is their own interests. In the US the narrative is put forth not by the people, but by a few elites who seek to benefit economically at the expense of the tax payer who has no interest to dominate or control a primitive society half a world away.

if i read khostai's post there are just few sentences and lots of content
but khushal's posts are total opposite
he repeats only what everybody already knows or collect some nonsence just to be smart

[khushal]

You think I sound smart? Thanks.

People like Khostia and the DSM think they can actually use foreigners in their land to propel their own people forward. They don't learn from history. People like Karzai and Ghani have existed and their current approach have been tried many times in Afghanistan. Every single time, that approach have only produced the opposite.

Pashtun nationalists like Khostia would rather cooperate with the Taliban than be dominated by Tajik nationalists and that is exactly what would eventually happen. All the US funding of the afghan gov is doing is postponing the inevitable.

Trouble brewing in the northeast

Work at local government offices is coming to a halt as militants take over strategic parts of Kunduz and Badakhshan.

by Khushqadam Usmani and Noor ul-Ayn , Kunduz/ Badakhshan , 13.1.2015 Badakhshan Governor Shah Waliullah Adeeb says the reasons for the Taliban's presence there are complex. (Photo: Khushqadam Usmani)
He emerges from his office agitated and looks at his watch. “My name is Sharifullah. I am an employee in a government institution in Shir Khan Bander,” he says, wiping the sweat off his forehead as he explains the reason for his anxiety: Stationed in Kunduz’s restive Shir Khan Bander region, Sharifullah is unable to visit his wife in the provincial capital because the Taliban controls the roads.

The security situation in Kunduz and Badakhshan has deteriorated following the withdrawal of German and other international forces from the northeastern provinces, Sharifullah says. Each day after 3:00 pm, threats posed by militants prevent government employees working in Shir Khan Bander district from returning to their homes in Kunduz city.

Even before the withdrawal of international security forces, the Taliban had been quietly expanding its influence over remote Kunduz areas like the Wardoch and Khastak valleys and the Tagab Kashem district. The areas of Dasht-e-Archi, Chahardara, Imam Sahib and Khan Abad, and Gull Tapa in Kunduz have also experienced a resurgent Taliban presence.

Governor Dr. Shah Wali Adeeb of neighboring Badakhshan province links the insecurity in Kunduz province to the worsening security situation in Badakhshan.

With its proximity to neighboring central Asian countries and regions where the Taliban wields influence, Badakhshan province is a strategic location for insurgents, Wali Adeeb says. In the Khastak region of Jorm Distinct, the Taliban contingent includes 103 foreign fighters from Chechnya, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and the Karakoram region in western China. Through its presence in Badakhshan and Kunduz, the Taliban seeks to destabilize other Central Asian countries, Wali Adeeb says.

Meanwhile, Ahmad Javed Mojadadi, a member of the Badakhshan provincial council, points out that in addition to foreign support, some representatives from Badakhshan in the Afghan National Assembly also politically support the Taliban. The Taliban initially appeared in Wardoch Valley in small numbers, he adds. This changed after the national government and some MPs politically supported the militants, calling them “discontented brothers,” says Mojadidi.

But Abdul Wadood, a representative from Badakhshan, rejects these claims, adding that the Taliban’s presence in Badakhshan is a complex issue. He adds that Badakhshan borders three countries, and its mountain roads are impassive. This has provided ample opportunities for the Taliban to thrive and grow in the province.

Recently, an Al Qaeda-affiliated branch of the Waziristan Council of Pakistan moved into Badakhshan province and established itself in the Khastak Valley of Jorm district. Afghan security forces subsequently arrested 24 women and children planning to join their husbands and fathers fighting in Jorm District.

In Badakshan as well as Kunduz, provincial governments have been accused of tacitly supporting the Taliban. In Kunduz, the Taliban also enjoy the support of the civilian population—a trend that has not yet spread to Badakhshan.

While Taliban operatives take advantage of poverty and unemployment to locally recruit members, the people of Badakhshan are “not in the spirit” of supporting the Taliban, says political analyst Farzad Hafizi.

In Kunduz, by contrast, the Taliban maintain a presence in some areas of Gull Tapa, says a tribal elder and Gull Tapa village representative. Whenever government and security forces take steps to suppress the militants, locals provide them with arms and sanctuary, he adds.

Taliban sympathizers among the provincial government and the police force also undermine national security efforts, sources say. The head of police department of Kunduz province recently revealed that Asadullah Omerkhial, head of the Kunduz provincial peace council, has been involved in freeing Taliban prisoners.

But Ghulam Mustafa Mohsseini, head of police in Kunduz province, says the council has compelled dozens of Taliban operatives to join the peace process. Originally members of the local police force, these operatives rejoined the Taliban with critical information, equipment, arms and weapons they received from the government.

In recent years, the police have lost 12 security check posts to the enemies because the local peace council mediated peace talks under opaque terms, Mohsseini adds.

The constant threat of roadside attacks by the Taliban has affected drivers in both Badakhshan and Kunduz. In the northeast provinces, the Kunduz-Shir Khan Bander Highway has seen a rapid decline in security since the withdrawal of German combat forces.

“The Taliban abduct government employees and kill them, and robbers along the Kunduz-Baghlan Highway rob ordinary people,” says Mujebrahman, a driver travelling from Badakhshan to Kabul.

The Taliban’s main objective in the Northeast parts of the country is to destabilize government sources of revenue, observers say, adding the insurgents have struggled to pay their soldiers monthly wages.

When we did not have regular salaries, we received support and gifts from Pakistan, but I did not take their gifts, because they only gave me 8000 Pakistani Rupees when my payment should have been 15000 Rupees, says former Taliban operative “Asadullah”, who joined the peace process after serving as the deputy of Taliban commander Mowlavee Jan Mohammad, or Qaisar.

Several moneychangers have been arrested in Jorm district of Badakhshan because they were involved in transferring money to the Taliban, says Javed Mojadidi, a member of the provincial council.

He adds that besides receiving salaries from the Islamic State (IS), the Taliban also collect religious tax and extort money from farmers. They also control swathes of road leading from Badakhshan’s azure mines. The militants secure around 20 percent of their incomes by extorting a protection fee of 70,000-120,000 Afghani per each truckload of azure, according to Mojadidi.

The abduction of Afghan security officials in Shir Khan Bander also suggests the Taliban may be exchanging state workers for ransom to secure income. Constant threats and terror campaigns in the area have caused state authorities substantial revenue losses, sources in Shir Khan Bander say.

A decline in provincial income and economic development plays into the Taliban’s hands, says the district’s Customs Department head, Shafudin Bawaar.

In the past year, the Taliban have been able to reestablish the strategic positions they held in the province before the regime’s fall in 2001, residents say.

Sources close to the Taliban also told Afghanistan Today that the Islamic State (IS) has gained a foothold in parts of Kunduz province, and maintain close relations with the Taliban. Afghan security officials who also requested anonymity confirmed these claims, saying that “a group by the name of Islamic State…maintain a presence in Imam Sahib District and the Gull Tapa area of Kunduz province.”

The absence of international forces has also allowed the Taliban to disrupt security in a strategic region dubbed “the new Silk Road” for its proximity to China. The Afghan government is in talks with Beijing to launch new infrastructural projects in the area, and the Taliban’s presence there severely undermines these goals, experts say.

With that account, it can be inferred that there is a common cause for the worsening security situation in Kunduz and Badakhshan province and in the Northeast as a whole following the withdrawal of German military forces from these two provinces, and that common cause is that Taliban are forcefully working to interrupt the income sources of the government, and to hinder government’s capacity in exploiting these sources.

Officials in Kunduz province also point out that the Taliban seeks to control the Kabul-Tajikistan Highway, as well as Kabul-Takhar-Badakhshan Highway, and to hamper the government’s ability to increase its financial independence. In Kunduz, many high-ranking government officials have resigned due to worsening conditions.

Two months ago, Kunduz Governor Gholam Sakhi Baghlani resigned from his post amid criticism for failing to maintain military control of the province. He delivered a farewell speech describing the province’s ominous security situation. “A joint military operation was conducted against [the Taliban] which including air assaults against their sanctuaries in different areas of Kunduz province,” he said. “They were defeated and the areas were handed over to local forces, but despite severe resistance the local forces, they did not match the force of the Taliban and were compelled to leave the areas. The Taliban have resolved to destabilize supply routes in the Northeast at any cost possible.”

Pashtun power house is not my number one goal. I have said many time before and I will say it again, I am not ethnocetric. I love my country and wish the best for it. If Ghani put only tajiks and hazars as ministers, but those tajiks and hazara not having any ties with warlords NA and some dirty gangs I would not mind it. I hate how he choosed people who are clearly would do no better job actually even worser job than Karzai goverment, in a time where aid money is becoming lesser, taliban bombing every thing and the threat of IS emergence, this is just digging you own grave.

I know you have a small understanding, and it is really hard for you to understand, but at least try it, I am not an ethnocentrist, I just hate, taliban, mudjahids NA and all the **** that is now in goverment, be it Pashtun Hazara or tajiks, if you belong to one of those criminals I would hate you, no matter what ethnic group you have.

Well then, who would you nominate and how would you work with Abdullah whose power base is threatening you with separation.

BTW, the only uncorruptable force in the country is the Taliban and the IS emergence is just a fad. All sorts of criminals fly the Taliban flag, those same criminals now have a choice to either fly the Taliban flag or an IS flag who claim to represent Islam to get sympathy and legitimacy from the people not to mention a ploy to get some of that "A-rab money." The whole country is roaming with criminals and the biggest thieves are in the Government. The only way to get rid of them is to allow the iron hand of the mullah to crush them like they did in the 90's. There is no other way to do it.

I see you are still delusional as ever before, thinking that the one eyed donkey was good for Afghanistan. That loser could do nothing, he could not prevent girls from being raped so he just locked them in home, no education or basic human right, could not understand what a tv or journalism is, so just banned it, could not stop prostitution so banned music and dancing becuase he taught that it promotes that, this kind of idiots are useless and are worser than having corrupt goverment. The damage such people bring to a country is far worser than an corrupt goverment.

Taliban are the same useless subhuman creatures as NA and warlords, they are no better. You only support taliban becuase they are majority Pashtun, and you being an ethnocentric fascist just love this.

Abdullah did not want a seperate state and never said that he would do that, he claimed to start a war, that is is totaly diffrent thing, Ghani had a chance to stop him and just deny any place for him, Ghani had a lot of backing by a lot of Pashtuns even Dostum said that he would support Ghani if he just puts Abdullah in to prison. But Ghani did not do that, the rest doesn't even matter, if he had just put that frog eyed biatch out of the way, he could have choosen much better people.....

[khushal]

So you would put Abdullah in prison if you were in Ghani's position. Lets assume you had the power to do that(which Ghani does not). Abdullah is not just one man, he represents hundreds if not thousands of warlords. How are you going to deal with them. You certainly cant put all of them in prison, not without a fight anyways and Ghani has no Army because the army is mostly NA militia so if anyone can put anyone in Jail, it would be Abdullah putting Ghani in jail.

BTW, Abdullah's power base did threaten separation and even a coup by storming the presidential compound:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/afghan-election-rivals-hit-new-snags-1408039497

Also, the Taliban exist because of your hero Najib's failed policies. The Talibans actions are a reaction to the situation they are faced with which is Najib's fault. It is the environment that creates and dictates who should rule. Leaders are created by the environment, the environment is not created by the Leaders.
