Haqqani Network is Afghan Entity

NOVANEWS By Sajjad Shaukat American top officials have continuously accused Pakistan Army and country’s intelligence agency, ISI of supporting North Waziristan-based Haqqani network for killing Americans in Afghanistan. In June, this year, US Defence Secretary of State, Leon Panetta repeatedly stated that drone attacks would continue on safe havens of terrorists Pakistan offered to insurgents in Afghanistan, while blaming the Haqqani insurgents for some of the deadliest attacks in Afghanistan. In fact, as part of conspiracy against Pakistan in order to continue intermittent predator strikes on North Waziristan, and to make ground for a full-fledged invasion of tribal areas, especially against Haqqani militants, on September 7, this year, US designated the Haqqani network a foreign terroris...

Was it worth it? Afghanistan 11 years later

NOVANEWS By Tanya Cariina Hsu Global Research October 7 marked the eleventh anniversary of the US war in Afghanistan. More than 2,000 American soldiers have now been killed, and as the US presidential candidates debate each other to lead the most dominant power on Earth, perhaps it is time for someone to ask them: Was it worth it? On September 11th 2001, 2,977 people were killed. Almost 700 people in one firm alone (Cantor-Fitzgerald) died; 343 fire fighters and paramedics were killed, as were 60 police officers. Only 291 bodies were ever found ‘intact’. Over half of the families who lost loved ones that day received not a single piece of remains. Within three months 300 fire-fighters went on leave due to respiratory problems, almost half a million New Yorkers are being treated for post-...

Was America Attacked by Afghanistan on September 11, 2001?

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research Eleven Years later: Why are American and NATO troops in Afghanistan? What is the justification for waging war on a country of 28 million people? The legal argument used by Washington and NATO to invade Afghanistan was that the September 11 attacks constituted an undeclared “armed attack” “from abroad” by an unnamed foreign power, and that consequently “the laws of war” apply, allowing the nation under attack, to strike back in the name of “self-defense”. Both the media and the US government, in chorus, continue to point to the 9/11 attacks and the role of Al Qaeda, allegedly supported by Afghanistan. The bombing and invasion of Afghanistan has been described as a “campaign” against Islamic terrorists, rather than a war. To this date, h...

Afghan resistance advancing to victory

NOVANEWS   Imperialists call on ‘Guardian Angels’ to release them from Afghan hell. Recent weeks have seen an intensification of the resistance in Afghanistan that has astounded western onlookers in its scope and audacity. Green on blue Having infiltrated the ranks of the comprador police and army, resistance forces have unleashed a barrage of attacks from behind enemy lines, taking the occupation powers by surprise and completely destroying the confidence of the imperialist armies to operate jointly with their groomed cannon-fodder pawns. So common have attacks on the occupation by what are supposed to be the Nato armies’ ‘Afghan allies’ that a new phrase has been coined to describe the phenomenon: ‘green on blue’ (green being Afghan National Army and blue being the ...

RACIST U.S. MARINES URINATING ON AFGHAN CORPSES

NOVANEWS Three U.S. Marines filmed urinating on Taliban corpses given ‘administrative’ punishments but are spared criminal charges dailymail.co.uk Three U.S. Marines who were pictured urinating on Taliban corpses last year received ‘administrative’ punishments, but they avoided criminal charges, the American military said on Monday. The video of the men were called a ‘recruitment tool for the Taliban’ and helped to inflame tensions between Afghans and NATO troops when it was made public earlier this year.  It remains to be seen whether the punishments, which could include reprimand, reduction in rank or forfeiture of pay, will be enough to satisfy Afghan officials, who were outraged by the images.  Outrage: The video inflamed tensions between US forces and the Afghans and was called a ...
