Examine how closely linked to their stories were, the Taliban in Afghanistan have not yet to release a statement on the death of Osama bin Laden. The group is not be inward; It just does not quite know what to say for the moment. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in time: "we have not received any word from our leadership on the death of Osama.". I cannot confirm that he is dead or alive. Due to some problems of security, the Taliban did not have much contact with Osama bin Laden for 10 years. "In a show striking divisions which had slipped between the Taliban and Osama bin Laden's organization, Mujahid added that"the activity of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan was immaterial." All activities have been and continue to be carried out by the Taliban. ?
The distinction is one who is not lost on the Afghan people and may explain why - at least in the capital, even in the most sympathetic to the Taliban Pashtun areas - response to the announcement of the death of bin Laden was so muted in the hours after theIt was announced. If anything, Afghans showed a kind of defence that the arch-terrorists had been killed by the US Special Forces in Abbottabad, a city located on the territory of their hated neighbor, Pakistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has echoed this sentiment at a press conference Monday. "We have said repeatedly that al-Qaeda sanctuaries do not exist in Afghanistan." Its caches are located elsewhere. And the killing of Osama bin Laden has shown that our claim was correct, "said Karzai. (See the obituary Osama bin Laden).
Opinion of the President was shared in most places. A store for the sale of spectacles, two traders has contributed to a doctor, who was sporting an Afghan flag on his backhand, choose a pair of glasses as a small colour TV played an Indian clip in the background. "Most Afghan politicians were saying that terrorists are not in Afghanistan - that they come from outside our borders." Dead Osama in Pakistan is the enormous evidence for the U.S. military - is proof that our politicians were correct, "said the doctor, Arifullah (who goes by a name, like many Afghans), he tried on the glasses." He was not able to return to his native province of Kunar on the Pakistan border for the past 13 months because of intense violence.
In the street, in a store that sold President Karzai his selections of lamb wool brand, the new has been screaming full force on old radio sitting in a pile of small pieces of leather and hats finished. The voice excited advertiser's Radio Azadi blared around the shop not informed, to paraphrase statements Karzai, saying: "the battle is not in our homes, our villages - is at our border." We couldn't find Osama in [the provinces of] Kandahar, Mazar, Badakhshan, Bamyan, Kabul, Parwan, Ghor, Farah, heart or Paktika - he was at Abbottabad. "(Watch the announcement of President Obama of the death of Osama Ben Laden.)
From the breathtaking pace of the broadcaster, Sayeed Habib Sadaat calmly repaired an old hat and said, "it is good news." We are pleased that Osama is dead. It was he who helped destroy our country and who carried out attacks throughout the world. The suicide bombers came from him. ?
And it is not only Presidents, doctors and hatters who feel that they have been proven correct as it have found hope for peace. "We hope that the attacks will decrease." "After that, our coordination with Pakistan will become stronger, because Osama was that problems between the Afghanistan and Pakistan," predicted Lutfullah Mashal, spokesman for the National Directorate of security, domestic intelligence of the country. "It is good news for all Afghans." We are pleased because in the last years we have seen that al-Qaeda and the Taliban are from outside our borders. Now we have the evidence, he said in time.
Through the various branches of the fragmented Government of the Afghanistan, the announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden has favoured a display of unity rarely given. "At this time, the international community must know where there is terrorism." Now, they know that it exists outside our borders. "On the one hand, Pakistanis have said that they are our friend, but on the other side, they claimed Osama bin Laden," said Shukria Barakzai, Member of the lower House of Parliament representing the province of Kabul, by telephone.
These are the Afghanistan, there are always those who will be in question which is actually the truth. Indeed, some Afghans continue to doubt the news of the death of Osama bin Laden. "This is not the first time Osama was killed," said a young man sitting in front of a store of development of film for a round of laughter by dozens of spectators in Kart-e-Naw, a district dominated by Pashtuns, the ethnic majority which is more closely linked with the Taliban. At the corner, the mosque Etifaq, white-veiled girls and boys in white socks ran in and out of the Madrasah of the complex. At the gate, Hajji Gulab Zar, Professor at the school in time said that "teachers and students say that it is propaganda." It is impossible. I mean, once before, on the new people said that he died in Karachi (Pakistan). "See the pictures of the battle against the Taliban.
In a country as left behind by news and rife with as the Afghanistan conspiracy theories, it is understandable that some would have a hard to believe that such a famous figure was killed. A student of the University, compared to a Bollywood film. "If they are showing his death on television, they must have evidence that Osama is dead." Therefore, now, people wait just for this. The Government and the media must now prove to the people. Many people say that Osama has double as Saddam in Iraq. Other people say it's just a ploy - as in Hindi films - which is claiming only he is dead so that he can hatch a new plan, "says Esmatullah, a student in political science at the local University.
But even if he is still alive, bin Laden has ceased to be relevant. "In the last two or three years in Afghanistan and in the world media and did not speak Osama bin Laden," Masoom, a local resident named single, said time in the courtyard of the mosque in Etifaq. "" "". It was not important al-Qaida. It was not important for the Taliban. He was the leader, but al-Qaeda is not just Osama. They have other leaders and they will continue their activities. However, Afghans may differ on the fate of Osama bin Laden, they agree on one thing: the death of a man will not bring peace to their country.
