PESHAWAR: Former Afghan prime minister and chief of Hizb-e-Islami
Afghanistan Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has called upon the Afghans to wage
jihad against American and British forces to liberate their country. 

In a message sent from Kabul to The News, Hekmatyar denied the US
government claims that any member of his group had been killed in the
rockets attack near Kabul. He said: "No rockets have hit the areas of
our brothers, nor has any important or common person been killed in this
attack. 

The American claims in this regard are as baseless and boastful as their
fabricated propaganda about their aborted operation in Shahi Kot." As a
matter of fact, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar said, this was part of their
psychological warfare to overawe the Afghans and browbeat them into
submission. Operation in Shahi Kot, Hekmatyar said, was a failure
despite, what he termed, the gruesome fact that they (Americans) dropped
more than 2,500 bombs on such a small place. "I call upon all the
sincere Afghans devoted to the cause of their religion and country to
rise to the occasion in a unified manner, trust in Almighty Allah and
prepare for Jihad once again to liberate their homeland from foreign
occupation," Hekmatyar said.
