Kandahar operation leaves dozens of coalition and Afghan police dead

KANDAHAR, Mar. 14 - Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate during a successful operation on Saturday, which was primarily a message to Gen. Stanley McChrystal's warning against their coming operation in Kandahar city, caused the U.S-coalition and Afghan troops deadliest losses.

According to the details, Mujahideen, having penetrated into all security barriers and checks, carried out a series of attacks and bombings on the important points in the heart of heavily secured Kandahar city.

In the first attack, Mujahideen targeted the police headquarter, conducting face-to-face fighting and detonations that inflicted the police force heavy losses of life and material, but it is still unclear how many policemen were killed and injured, followed by attacks on the police checkpoints in Sarbuzi area of Kandahar city.

Meantime, Mujahideen carried out simultaneous attacks and bombings which continued till late night hours of Saturday near governor house, provisional guesthouse and intelligence headquarter.

The last detonation which has been the most fatal and deadliest of all since the operation started on Saturday Mar. 12, targeted the U.S-led coalition patrol which encountered Mujahideen who, while leaving Kandahar city in their vehicle, have been engaged in a fierce gunfight with the coalition patrol.

Mujahideen first opened firing at coalition soldiers from the vehicle, later, as per their tactical plan, Mujahideen left the vehicle which gave the collation and
U.S soldiers a chance to approach the vehicle, at this point the Mujahideen exploded the vehicle using a remote control device that killed and wounded a large number of the U.S and the coalition soldiers but the death and the injury toll enemy troops is not determined yet.

However, the Afghan puppet and NATO officials claimed, as usual, that most of the civilians were victims of Mujahideen attacks and explosions, while some independent media outlets, observers and witnesses say, the fatalities and casualties have only been inflicted on the Afghan police force during the Mujahideen bombings and attacks on the police headquarter and police checkpoints and on the foreign coalitions during the last bomb attack in an area at the furthest point of this city, where curfew had been imposed by the enemy to prevent the civilians from going outside, as the Mujahideen were in the point of leaving Kandahar city.

Qari Yousuf Amadi, the spokesman for al-Emarah website, in telephonic conversation told al-Emarah that the Mujahideen's successful operation in the heart of Kandahar city was a message to Stanley McChrystal and a reaction to the U.S coming operation in Kandahar province which proves that the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate are fully prepared and ready to fight the Americans, NATO and their allies, no mater whichever part of Afghanistan they may be.
