Taliban Extremist Targets Funeral; Def Dept ^ \| 9/11/06 \| DOD defenselink.mil WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2006 – A Taliban suicide bomber detonated an explosive strapped to his body today during the funeral ceremony for the late governor of Afghanistan’s Paktia province, Mohammad Hakim Taniwal, U.S. military officials reported. As family, friends, colleagues and government officials paid their last respects to Taniwal in Khowst province, the suicide bomber approached the funeral and detonated the explosive, killing six people, including two Afghan National Police officers, and injuring more than 35 civilians. Religious leaders condemned the attack, officials said. Coalition forces responded immediately and transported the injured to the Khowst hospital, where they are being treated. “The Taliban have dishonored the sanctity of a Muslim funeral,” said Army Lt. Col. Paul Fitzpatrick, Combined Joint Task Force 76 spokesman. “The Taliban have no regard for life and no respect for honor, tradition or religion. Today’s attack proves to all Afghans and Muslims that the Taliban are willing to destroy the future of Afghanistan and its people’s way of life.” Today’s attack will not deter reconstruction and development in the province or throughout Afghanistan, Fitzpatrick said. “Good governance and security will continue to be extended throughout Afghanistan,” he said. “The government showed its strength and resolve by the smooth transition of provincial governance in a time of crisis.” In other new from Afghanistan, Afghan and coalition forces detained a known al Qaeda member today during an early-morning raid of a compound in Nangarhar province. Six other suspected al Qaeda associates also were detained without incident, officials said. Intelligence indicates the detainees were involved in anti-government and anti-coalition activities. Several women and children also were located in the compound, and a large number of documents were confiscated. No civilians, or Afghan or coalition forces were injured during the operation. Also, Afghan and coalition forces detained two suspected terrorists in Khowst province during an operation yesterday. The suspects were detained after Afghan authorities entered multiple compounds, which intelligence indicated were used by al Qaeda members. The detained terrorists are linked to plotting makeshift-bomb attacks against Afghan and coalition forces in Khowst province. Several women and children were present within the compounds, and all were unharmed during the operation, officials said No Afghan or coalition forces were injured during the operation.

'He Is A Dog And If We See Him We Will Kill Him' (Palis To Blair) The Guardian (UK) ^ \| 9-11-2006 \| Clancy Chassay guardian.co.uk Protesters greet Tony Blair’s visit to Lebanon. Photograph: Alvaro Barrientos/AP Hundreds of angry demonstrators waving Lebanese flags and chanting "down with Blair" gathered to protest at Tony Blair's meeting with Fouad Siniora at the prime minister's office in the heart of Beirut today. Held back by a line of Lebanese troops and security personnel enforcing a 1km buffer zone around the office, some protesters carried posters reading "Blair, you killer, go to hell" and "The blood of Qana is splashed across your ugly face" in reference to an Israeli attack on a village in south Lebanon during the war that killed 34 children. National music blared from nearby speakers. "We must take revenge on Blair," one of the organisers roared into the microphone, mirroring an earlier call by the Druze leader Walid Jumblatt to take revenge on the Syrian president, Bashar Assad. "He is a dog and if we see him we will kill him," said a group of young boys wrapped in the flags of Hizbullah and Amal, Lebanon's two main Shia parties. "We want to kill him, really we do," one of them insisted. The gathering was largely of leftwing groups and Shia parties but there was also a showing from two of Lebanon's largest Christian groups. Most demonstrators viewed Mr Blair's visit as an attempt to score points at home. "They hate him in his country and we hate him here - he only came to make himself look good," said Hussein, 29.
