Ahmad Shah Massood is now the national hero of Afghanistan. There are pictures of him everywhere you go in Kabul -- on streetcorners, on government buildings, and on the dashboards of cars. He has become an abstract symbol of the mujahideen resistence. Massood was at the center of the fight against the unpopular (and American and Pakistani organized) Taliban government, receiving weapons from Iran and Russia. Yet Massood was an independent Afghan nationalist -- before he was killed he had just completed a tour of Europe, trying to gain support for his anti-Taliban campaign. Notably, the US did not support Massood's resistance, probably because of his long standing ties with Russia.

Massood did have some contacts with the US over the years. According to mujahideen fighters I have met, Massood was extremely angry after his final meeting with Robin Rafael, the American Deputy Foreign Minister for the East, who had suggested that his best option might be to surrender to the Taliban. According to the story, Massood threw his pakul (an Afghan beret) onto the table and told Ms. Rafael that as long as he controlled a territory the size of his hat, he would never surrender.

But for all that, the US has not given aid of any significance to the opposition dominated by Ahmad Shah Massoud. And the only strategy that might have been effective, putting pressure on Pakistan, was ruled out. The western countries allowed Islamabad to continue its direct intervention and the Taliban prevailed over Massoud. Last summer several thousand soldiers of the Pakistani regular army were sent to the front; their presence proved decisive in the taking of Taloqan, a small town that Massoud had controlled since 1986 and whose loss is a direct threat to his supply lines between Panjshir and Tajikistan.

“At the time of Massood’s death, the Taliban were being supported by Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence service (ISI), an instrument of American influence since the campaign against the Soviets in the 1980s. (The ISI has often been described as a free-wheeling, rogue agency, yet it has maintained a close relationship with American intelligence and Pakistan has remained a close American ally -- before, during and after President Musharraf's military coup.)

Top al Qaeda figure killed in Iraq

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - British troops in Iraq said on Monday they had killed a senior al Qaeda figure who escaped from a U.S. prison in Afghanistan in 2005.

Omar Faruq was shot dead while resisting arrest during a pre-dawn raid by about 200 British troops in Iraq's second biggest city, Basra, British military spokesman Major Charlie Burbridge said.

Burbridge called him a "very, very significant man", although he was believed to be hiding inside Iraq, not necessarily operating there.

"The individual had been tracked across Iraq and was in hiding in Basra," Burbridge said.

"Two companies (about 200 troops) launched the operation in the early hours of this morning. The troops returned to base without any multinational force casualties."

Faruq, a Kuwaiti citizen who was captured in Indonesia in June, 2002, was described by Washington as the most senior al Qaeda figure in southeast Asia, a key link between Osama bin Laden's followers and Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiah militants.

He was one of four men who escaped from the high-security U.S. detainee centre at Bagram air base north of the Afghan capital, Kabul, in June last year.

Washington did not reveal that he had escaped until six months later, when defence lawyers demanded he be produced as a witness at the trial of an army sergeant accused of abusing prisoners in Bagram. U.S. officials were then forced to reveal that he could not testify because he had escaped.

Het volgt wel de 'trend'

Located in the shadow of the Hindu Kush about 30 miles north of Kabul, the facility holds hundreds of alleged jihadists at the center of three tight rings of security, surrounded by U.S. and Afghan troops. To enter and leave Bagram one has to pass through a labyrinth of concrete and dirt-filled-wire barriers that are overlooked by two-story-high observation posts. The prisoners, dressed in orange jumpsuits, are kept in wire cages in the middle of an old warehouse, somewhat like Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs." The warehouse in turn is ringed by razor wire and finally the fences and guard posts of the airbase itself.

Yet in the early morning hours of July 11, 2005, U.S. officials say, four of these brightly attired men somehow penetrated each of the three security cordons and slipped through a Soviet-era minefield just outside the base, one purposely left active. Then the escapees disappeared into the darkness, managing even to elude local Tajik villagers who are generally hostile to foreign fighters. It was, almost everyone agreed, an astonishing feat. "If this really happened as reported, it makes the Great Escape of World War II look like an Outward Bound exercise," said one U.S. defense analyst familiar with detainee operations who would speak only if he were not named.

From Antara, the Indonesian News agency, comes this story datelined Jakarta and citing the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies:

Umar Al Farouk who escaped from the US heavily guarded detention center in Afghanistan could be a foreign intellegence agent planted in al Qaidah network for Souetheast Asia, an observer said.

Suripto, founder of the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies (Laspersi), made the remarks here on Tuesday to respond to reports on the Al Farouk`s escape and its implications on Indonesian security.

According to him, Al Farouk`s escape has strengthened his prediction and suspicion that the mysterious figure is an agent backed by the CIA.

"Only a person backed by a well-managed organization could escape the heavily guarded prison," Suripto, who is also member of the House of Representatives` Commission I on foreign and security affairs, said.

"It is not easy to be able to slip out of the prison. Of course, there is a well managed organization which has detailed information on the prison and the person involved in the escape."

Suripto said, he suspected that Al Farouk had received a special task from the controller to cause disturbance in Indonesia and the three months since July when the figure was widely reported to have escaped from the prison was enough to spread terror in regions like Poso and Ambon.
