Jihadis From Europe Have Established a "European Village" In the Midst of South Waziristan, Pakistan


I've blogged a number of times about the Germans who have heard the call of radical islam and have traveled to Pakistan to join the Taliban and al Qaeda in the jihadi fight but now it is being revealed that many more Europeans have actually done the same and in fact, they have organized themselves into an actual "European Village" right smack dab in the middle of Jihadi Haven, namely South Waziristan, Pakistan.

From the article at Central Asia Online:


Abdul Ghaffar Al-Almani, 22, was one of five foreign Islamic militants killed during a clash with security forces in South Waziristan April 28.
But something separated Al-Almani from his fellow foreign fighters: Uzbeks, Tajiks, Arabs and others. Al-Almani was born Eric Breininger in Germany.
German police were seeking the Islamic convert on suspicion of membership in the Sauerland Cell, a group of German radicals accused of plotting to bomb foreign targets in Germany, officials told Central Asia Online. They requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.
Germans and militants from other European countries are said to have established a complete “European Village” in South Waziristan, adding a new aspect to the war on terror in the region.

A couple of things I want to say about all of this - first of all, it's my contention that this proves that islam is the root of terrorism and not the other way around like the appeasers in America (and the Obama administration) want you to believe. We literally have European natives who convert to islam and within months, are on the battlefield as jihadis - these individuals are in essence recruited for jihad. Secondly, I find it interesting that these European jihadis have segregrated themselves in South Waziristan - I guess, after they get to Pakistan and actually have to hang out with their Arab and Pashtun and Pakistani overlords, they have decided they'd rather be "away" from that swine and initiate their own community. Who would have thunk it - a form of caste system in jihad.



Foreign militants active in Waziristan


PESHAWAR -- Abdul Ghaffar Al-Almani, 22, was one of five foreign Islamic militants killed during a clash with security forces in South Waziristan April 28.
But something separated Al-Almani from his fellow foreign fighters: Uzbeks, Tajiks, Arabs and others. Al-Almani was born Eric Breininger in Germany.

German police were seeking the Islamic convert on suspicion of membership in the Sauerland Cell, a group of German radicals accused of plotting to bomb foreign targets in Germany, officials told Central Asia Online. They requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.

Germans and militants from other European countries are said to have established a complete “European Village” in South Waziristan, adding a new aspect to the war on terror in the region.
The political agent of South Waziristan, Shahab Ali Shah, declined to comment.

But Mohammad Amin, a tribal elder from South Waziristan, confirmed the presence of a large number of Germans and other militants of European origin.
“They, however, have no individual entity but are associated with Tahir Yuldashev’s Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU). They are far more aggressive ... than the local militants”, Amin said.

Wazir tribesmen in South Waziristan opposed the presence of foreigners, said Mahmood Wazir, a resident of Azam Warsak, and so conflict was inevitable.
"When the IMU men gained power in Waziristan and started to target even locals, the tribesmen along with local militants ... seized the Uzbeks’ private jail in Azam Warsak in March 2007 and killed many of the foreigners”, Mahmood said.

Combat raged for two days, and 52 died. Around 45 of those killed were Uzbeks; the rest were tribesmen.
“On April 2 last year, a jirga of elders declared jihad against foreign militants ... and started to raise a tribal lashkar against them”, said Isa Khan, a member of the Yargul Khel tribe. “Heavy fighting concentrated in the village of Doza Ghundai left more than 60 people, including 50 foreigners, killed. Several Uzbeks and foreigners surrendered to the lashkar. Around ten tribal fighters and one Pakistani soldier were also killed”.

Some accounts, though, paint a portrait of foreign fighters becoming both entrenched and comfortable in the tribal areas.
The News International recently reported that affluent settlers from the Uzbek and Tajik areas of Afghanistan had come to Waziristan and Tank and had established mini-states. The Uzbek- and Tajik-Afghans were growing in both numbers and wealth, posing a threat to local tribesmen, the story said. But the militants of European origin pose their own issues.

The German Federal Office of Criminal Investigation (BKA) has a list of about 100 citizens who left for Afghanistan and Pakistan or attempted to join militants, according to news reports. The list includes former Berlin resident Michael W, his Eritrean wife and her minor daughter. Also on the list is a 19-year-old Berliner, Omar H, who disappeared with his girlfriend in January 2009.
“The trend of bringing wives and children to Waziristan is something new", said Amin, who tracks developments in his area.

Pakistani police arrested Nihad C, a citizen of Bosnia-Herzegovina, in 2007 for organising terrorist training. The Bosnian was reportedly in contact with jihad supporters in Germany and Bosnia-Herzegovina. During this time, police arrested another German national, Mihael N., in Pakistan. Nihad had planned to deliver Mihael to a militant camp on the Afghan border.
“The campaign of recruiting foreigners into the ranks of militants is being led by Abu Adam, a 24-year-old German, and Abu Ibrahim. Adam, whose real name is Mounir Chouka, received weapons training in the German army ... and later spent three years training at the Federal Office of Statistics. He left his country in 2007", a source told Central Asia Online. A German-Libyan brother-in-law of Abu Adam, Ahmed K, was also among the fighters in the German village in Waziristan.

In a number of videos posted on YouTube, Abu Adam and Abu Ibrahim urge viewers to take up arms for Islam.
“Militants belonging to different Western countries have been killed and apprehended here. The respective governments of these militants (need to take more responsibility) for their flow to the Pak-Afghan border areas and for strengthening militancy in our country”, Delawar Jan, a security analyst, told Central Asia Online.

“Among the foreigners are not only Germans but a large number of Uzbeks; Tajiks; Arabs from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen and Palestine; and Chechens and some from Sweden, Turkey, Canada and other European countries”, sources in the political administration confirmed to Central Asia Online.

The high-profile foreigners who were killed during security operations in the tribal areas include IMU commander Tahir Yuldashev.

UZBEKISTAN Security AGENCIES OPERATING ABOVE THE LAW

Uzbekistan has been in news regarding jailing of Religious missionaries, Aids activist, jurnalist and crackdown on Gulnara Karimova's Zero Max but thousands of stories regarding jailing of thousands of innocent individuals are never heard off and go un reported. those thousands of individuals take accept the jailing as their fate and start their life again to be jailed again.

Tashkent Rehabilitation Center Located at Chashma 3 Street, Hamzinski District of Tashkent, 15 Sutichnie Located at Chashma Street, Tuzel Detention Center for Tashkent Province, and IVS (Temporary Detention Center) Located in GVD at Chekhova Street Tashkent are the places where hundreds of people are detained and then 95% freed after 7 days, 15 days, and one month Respectively.
Majority of the detainees arejailed for one month only because if they forget to take their passport with them or if they have lost their passport.
System operates as under: Every police post head is responsible to complete a plan of jailing the people. They bring those people to Tashkent Rehabilitation center and get some benefits.

In Tashkent Rehabilitation center people forgetting their passport or not having their passports are detained for one month in the most horrible conditions.
They are locked in 3X4 Meters Cells with 10 or some times 16 Inmates.
They are fed only once in 24 Hours and allowed to Use Toilette 3 Times a day. Tashkent Rehabilitation Center and other Facilities can be rated as the ideal facilities for the growth of Infectous Diseases. If an individual can pay from 50,000 (25 USD) to 100,000 (50 USD) they are freed otherwise they have to sit in the facility for 30 days.
The detainees are sold to Private contractors for labor and work in the construction and the repair of the houses, farm Houses of the officials of MVD (Ministry of Interior) or GVD (City Internal Affairs Department).

Ministry of Interior Forces are so corrupt and inefficiet which will be evident from some of the cases which I will quote below:

In january 2010 one Private Owner of a Furniture firm Max Mebel was killed, investigating officer next day locked 70 Employees of the company from 7 days to 15 days in GVD, and 15 Sutichne Facilities. They were all freed after the expiry of their detention period. No body was allowed in advocate and was allowed to contact the relatives. Dimitry Lubashov (an Uzbek Jew and very nice boy who had problems with hearing) was sitting with me in GVD facility.
They would be right in asking the question why they were detained and what would happen to their families, who would feed them, and other so many questions. But the system goes on with out any thinking. Millions of Dollars of money is being spent by the Government to Maintain the facility. Money provided by the Government ends up in the pockets of the Officials operating the facility.

President Islam Karimov is an hostage in the hands of Ministry of Interior and Security Agencies forces. Because they are doing all that in the name of peace and security. As the president Islam Karimov is most concerned about security Issues so the cases of Illegal Detention and corruption in Security Agencies are always ignored.
Th innocent Peoples detained by the Security Agencies blame only President Isla Karimov for their situation.
Security Agencies by their acts are slowly and in a very planned way are eroding the effects of all the positive steps of the Government.
