  • Weekly Global Terror Watch Restricted
    WEEKLY GLOBAL TERROR WATCH RESTRICTED HIGHLIGHTS WEEKLY GLOBAL TERROR WATCH 24 – 30 Mar 2011 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK Indonesia. On 29 Mar 2011, unnamed intelligence sources claimed that JI terror suspect Umar Patek was arrested in Pakistan in early 2011. Unnamed security officials from Pakistan also confirmed that a tip-off from the CIA had led to the arrest. Meanwhile, POLRI said that it would be sending a joint team with other Indonesian agencies to Pakistan to verify Umar's arrest. Nevertheless, security analysts said that Umar's arrest was significant, because he was one of the few Indonesian militants who could explain to authorities the connections and extent of cooperation between Islamist militant groups in Asia. Afghanistan. In an article an by Afghan independent secular daily newspaper Hasht-e Sobh on 26 Mar 2011, the author warned of the possible Taliban's reactions to the security transition. He said that the recent cessation of telecommunications operations in Helmand province was part of the Taliban's attempts to show the government and the international community that the Taliban wielded more power than the government in provinces where security responsibilities were to be transferred to Afghans. The author believed that the Taliban would increase their attacks on the seven provinces where responsibilities would be transferred, to prove that the security of Afghanistan could not be ensured without the Taliban. Separately, an National Directorate of Security (NDS) spokesman stated on 27 Mar 2011 that 91% of organised insurgent attacks in Afghanistan were prevented due to the efforts of the ANA and ANP, with the NDS providing intelligence to arrest the “masterminds” of the organised attacks.

The driver of the vehicle was also killed, together with three Afghan soldiers and a farmer working nearby. • On 7th February, 13 people were killed and 11 wounded, most of them critically, when a suicide bomber on a motorcycle blew himself up, during a police search, in the midst of a crowd gathered at the entrance to the police headquarters in Kandahar. 12 of those killed or injured were police.

  • The Taliban at War: Inside the Helmand Insurgency, 2004–2012
    The Taliban at war: inside the Helmand insurgency, 2004–2012 THEO FARRELL AND ANTONIO GIUSTOZZI* Ten years ago the Taliban appeared to have been defeated. In retaliation for the 9/11 attacks, the United States had invaded Afghanistan and, in a matter of months, had overthrown the Taliban regime.1 In December 2001 Hamid Karzai had been appointed the interim Afghan president by a loya jirga (grand council), and in January 2002 the international community had agreed to provide extensive assis- tance to stabilize and rebuild the Afghan state. By mid-2002, US and British task forces were chasing the last remnants of the Taliban out of the country and hunting down Al-Qaeda terrorists.2 A decade later, Karzai is still in power and Afghanistan has received massive international developmental and security assistance.3 But the Afghan state is also battling a Taliban insurgency that shows little sign of abating. How did the Taliban return to Afghanistan, and why have they not been defeated? We answer these questions by looking inside the Afghan insurgency, using Helmand province as a case-study. We draw on a large number of original interviews with Taliban field commanders and fighters to produce a uniquely detailed picture of the Taliban at war. The picture that emerges is of a resilient insurgency that has adapted under immense military pressure to become more centralized and more professional. The Taliban have suffered very heavy attrition in Helmand, but they are far from defeated. Up to now, assessments of the war have been primarily based on analysis of western and Afghan government efforts.4 In this article, we examine how the * For feedback on earlier drafts of this article, we wish to thank Mark Beautement, Ryan Evans, Carter Malkasian, Mike Martin and the two anonymous reviewers, as well as audiences at presentations in 2012–13 in the ‘Changing character of war’ programme at Oxford University, the Afghan Studies Group at King’s College London, and the Centre for War Studies at the University of Southern Denmark.

Heavy snowfall led to avalanch- es and blocked roads especially in Northern provinces in Afghanistan. Heavy rain- fall and floods added to the misery of Afghans. The heat of the Quran burning issue spread across the nation, making the lives of Afghan citizens even more miserable. Even though U.S authorities, including U.S President Barrack Obama, apologised on 21 February regarding the burning at a U.S military base of religious texts, which contained extremist contents, violent demonstrations marred the lives of many Afghans. That said, the NATO force pullout plan and handing over of the duties to Afghan forces was the main talking point of the month. Pullout Plans As part of the withdrawal plan, U.S Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on 1 Feb announced the intention to hand the lead combat role to Afghan Forces next year. This is a significant development for Afghanistan, considering the controversial U.S-led night raids which have caused much controversy.

Post-retirement, the Officer was an Advisor to Brahmos Aerospace. Author of many books, articles and projects for the country’s various top think tanks, Gen Chakravorty’s main areas of interest are geo-strategy, firepower, and defence procurement, issues on which he has organised and participated in numerous seminars at national and international levels. http://www.vifindia.org ©Vivekananda International Foundation Background Afghanistan is a mountainous and land locked country which has tremendous domestic and economic problems leading to instability. The country has a population of about 31.6 million people with Dari and Pashto as the main languages. Islam is the principal religion and life expectancy is 59 years. The current problem dates back to December 1979 when the Army of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) invaded the country.1 In April 1978, Afghanistan’s centrist government headed by President Daud Khan was overthrown by left wing military officers led by Nur Mohammed Taraki. Power was shared by two Marxist Leninist Groups, the People’s (Khalaq) Party and the Banner (Parcham) Party. The new government which had little popular support, forged close ties with the Soviet Union and launched ruthless purges of all domestic opposition. They also undertook land and social reforms, which were bitterly resented by the Muslim population. Insurgencies rose against the government in the tribal and urban areas and these had an Islamic orientation.
