[Amerika telah melakukan kesilapan yang amat besar menyerang Afghanistan tanpa sebarang bukti yang begitu meyakinkan. Ini sekaligus menjadikan Osama, Taliban dan rakyat Afghan dipandang sebagai pihak yang telah dianiayakan tanpa keadilan. Umat Islam seluruh dunia akan menjadi semakin faham Amerika itu sebenarnya pengganas yang tidak menghormati mahkamah dan undang-undang. - Editor]

China Turut menyebelahi Taliban?

(Is China Moving In?)

Mengikut maklumat daripada Debka-Net-Weekly, satu konvoi yang panjang daripada China membawa pasukan bersenjata China-Islam telah masuk kawasan Afghanistan untuk memberikan sokongan membantu pasukan Taliban sebelum Amerika Syarikat melancarkan serangannya. Demikian yang dilaporkan oleh sumber perisikan Debka-Net-Weekly.

Sumber DEBKA melaporkan sekitar 5,000 hingga 15,000 pasukan bersenjata China telah menyeberangi sempadan Afghanistan pada Jumaat lalu (bertepatan hari Pentagon menasihatkan permulaan serangan itu kepada 17 syarikat media terbesar di Amerika).

Beijing dilaporkan mengerahkan pasukannya kepada dua tempat:

1. Wakyir, ini adalah markas puak Kirgyz yang bertahan di kawasan sempadan Pamir -Tadjik, berdepan dengan perkampungan tentera A.S. dan pasukan khas gerak gempur Russia dan pasukan udaranya. Di kalangan pasukan China itu ialah kumpulan militan fundamentalis Kirgyz daripada Lembah Ferghana di Asia Tengah sebagai jurubahasa.

Daripada Whakyir, panglima China yakin, mereka dapat bergabung dengan pasukan Osama Laden dan pakar taktik Taliban untuk menyekat kemaraan tentera Amerika daripada Dzhartygumbez, Tadjikistan yang terletak tidak jauh dari 35 daripada Little Pamir, di pergunungan Hindu Kush.

2. Jalalabad di Utara Afghanistan, di kaki banjaran Hindu Kush. Sumber China di DEBKA menyebut sebaik sahaja berlakunya serangan udara di Amerika pada September 11, jabatan risikan China, MSS, telah menyerahkan kepada kementerian pertahanan di Beijing satu ramalan bahawa AS berkemungkinan mengisytiharkan perang untuk menghancurkan regim Taliban. Kerana itu AS diramalkan bersekongkolan dengan Russia.

Kepimpinan China menganggap ini sebagai satu anjakan terpenting akhirnya dalam imbangan global sejak perbalahan China-Russia tahun 1982 dulu. Inilah ketegangan yang mencetuskan implikasi berbahaya kepada martabat China di mata dunia dan terhadap kepentingannya di rantau Asia Tenggara dan Asia Tengah. Beijing berpendirian sebarang pakatan seperti di atas mesti dipertikaikan.

IS CHINA MOVING IN?

SOURCES REPORT THOUSANDS OF TROOPS DEPLOYED TO BACK TALIBAN

According to the information from Debka-Net-Weekly, long Chinese convoys were carrying armed Chinese Muslim servicemen through northwest China into Afghanistan to support the Taliban militia prior to today's U.S. offensive, according to the intelligence sources of DEBKA-Net-Weekly.

The DEBKA sources report the troop strength of the Chinese columns at between 5,000 and 15,000. The first troops reportedly crossed the border Friday (that was the day when the Pentagon advised about the beginning of the strike to Americas 17 largest media companies). The troop movements are reported along the ancient Krakoram Road to the Afghan-Pakistani border, through the Kulik Pass of Little Pamir, which is situated in one of the highest and most remote regions of the world.

Beijing is reportedly deploying this force in two places:

1. Whakyir, the Kirgyz tribal encampment near the Little Pamir-Tadjik frontier, opposite the swelling concentration of U.S. and Russian Special Forces and air strength. The Chinese have brought with them Kirgyz fundamentalist militants from the Ferghana Valley of Central Asia, as interpreters. From Whakyir, the Chinese generals believe, with bin Laden's and the Taliban's tacticians, they will be able to block off the movement of the U.S.-led force from its rallying point in Dzhartygumbez, Tadjikistan, no more than 35 miles from Little Pamir, into the mountains of Hindu Kush.

2. Jalalabad in north Afghanistan, at the foot of the Hindu Kush range. DEBKA's Chinese sources say that, immediately after the terrorist strikes in the United States Sept. 11, the Chinese intelligence service, MSS, handed in to the defense ministry in Beijing its estimation that the U.S. would go to war to overthrow the Taliban regime, for the sake of which it would sign a pact with Russia.

The Chinese leadership viewed this eventuality as the most significant shift in the global balance since the 1962 Chinese-Russian feud, with dangerous implications for China's world standing and its interests in Central and Southwest Asia. Beijing reportedly concluded such an alliance must be counteracted.
