And the latest article clearly marks them as a Taliban propaganda arm.
"Pakistan is not occupied.In Pakistan, the main terrorist organization - Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP) – has political aims and it seeks to capture and control territory. The TTP is sponsored by the CIA, which provides it money, weapons and equipment."
Ha ha lol whew, jeeze I just don't know what to say in view of such idiocy.
CIA is killing the Taliban leadership as fast as they can find them and
ahmed quraish is trying to muddy the waters in an amatuer attempt
to blame USA for the Taliban.
The Paki Government and people have identified the Taliban as a national enemy.
and this joker is trying to blame USA thru the CIA for the Taliban, his efforts strike me
as simple minded, and delusional.
USA will kill and hunt all the al Qaeda, and the Taliban if they continue to support al Qaeda.
His post is self evidence of a confused mind or a Taliban shill.
Either way he has exposed himself and lost all creditibility and standing as a professional journalist.
He is making a joke of Paki journalists. Where is the critical thinking in Paki?
His attempt to shift the attack from the Taliban to the CIA will fail, Paki's know the Taliban is the ENEMY. And the CIA is trying to kill them.

US Army general warns Pakistan of new war
Daily Times Monitor
LAHORE: A new war could begin if Pakistan does not step up its fight against terrorists, Maj Gen Jeffrey J Schloesser of the US Army said in a report published in an American weekly on Sunday.
“If militants escape into Pakistani territory and Islamabad does not step up, a new kind of war could well begin,” he said.
According to the report, Gen Schloesser, who leads 19,000 US soldiers operating on the frontier, estimates that his forces are facing some 7,000-10,000 insurgents in eastern Afghanistan – a higher number than previously disclosed by any US commander.
He said he planned to keep his troops operating deep inside Taliban territory this winter. He hoped they would be able to take advantage of the mobility to seek out any safe havens and facilitation areas and any places the terrorists can go for ‘rest and recreation’ in Afghanistan. He said he would give terrorists the options to flee, get killed or captured, or reconcile.

4 hours ago
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) — Pakistan's new government signed a peace deal with pro-Taliban militants in a northwestern valley Wednesday, despite calls from the United States to clamp down on Islamist rebels.
The agreement will see the gradual withdrawal of troops from the devastated former tourist region of Swat and the imposition of Islamic Sharia law in line with the rebels' demands, provincial ministers said.
In return the militants will close training camps, hand over foreign fighters and halt suicide attacks on government installations and security forces under the 15-point pact, they said.
The United States reacted cautiously to the deal, saying it would monitor whether such attacks stopped.
"We'll reserve judgement on these things," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters, adding that fighting militancy required the "right mix" of security, political and economic measures.
The Pakistan army launched a major offensive in October to clear Swat of militants loyal to Maulana Fazlullah, a radical pro-Taliban cleric who led an uprising to enforce Sharia law in the valley.
US, NATO and Afghan officials have criticised previous peace deals in Pakistan, saying that they have led to an increase in suicide attacks on international and Afghan forces across the border in Afghanistan.
"The agreement was signed today between the government committee and representatives of local Taliban. We are very positive that this agreement will end violence and ensure lasting peace in the region," committee member and North West Frontier Province minister Wajid Ali Khan told AFP.
Dozens of people have been killed in suicide bombings in Swat, which began in July last year after troops raided the hardline Red Mosque in the capital Islamabad, leaving scores dead.
"We have agreed on a gradual withdrawal of the troops as the situation improves. The Taliban will close down all training centres for suicide bombers and militant activities. They will not attack security forces," Khan said.
The militants had also agreed not to target girls' schools, music shops and barbers, all targets of the hardline militants who follow an interpretation of Islam echoing the 1996-2001 Taliban regime in Afghanistan, he said.
"We have agreed to enforce the Sharia laws in the area," Khan added.
Officials said there was no agreement on the fate of Fazlullah, for whom the militants were demanding a general amnesty. The army has been hunting for him in the region's forests and mountains for months.
Afghanistan foreign ministry spokesman Sultan Ahmad Baheen criticised the the Swat agreement.
"We believe any exclusive deal with the Taliban would result in worsening of the situation," Baheen told AFP. "We believe any sort of agreement with the terrorists would harm both countries."
US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte urged Pakistan on Tuesday to arrest a leading Taliban commander based in the tribal area of South Waziristan, with whom Islamabad is also negotiating.
South Waziristan is around 350 kilometres (220 miles) south of Swat.
The commander, Baitullah Mehsud, has been accused by the CIA and the previous Pakistani government of masterminding the assassination in December of ex-premier Benazir Bhutto.
The new government, led by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, has pledged to completely overhaul Islamabad's counter-terrorism pursuit after defeating US-backed President Pervez Musharraf's political allies in February elections.
Negroponte said he would be encouraged to see Pakistan "operating effectively against some of these militant extremists, like for example bringing Baitullah Mehsud... capturing him and bringing him to justice, which is what should happen to him."
"In return the militants will close training camps, hand over foreign fighters and halt suicide attacks on government installations and security forces under the 15-point pact, they said."
"Hand over foreign fighters" HOW NAIVE CAN THE PAKI GOV BE?
Taliban plays Paki Gov for SUCKERS. I'm waiting to see how much $$$ the Paki gov pays them. Paki gov is ignoring its own history with the Taliban, Someone said the def of Insanity is doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result. The Taliban have NO HONOR, THEY are using kids for suicide bombers.
In the end this peace agreement will cost many Paki lives.
Arabia 2008-02-01 Yemen: Al-Qaeda fighting rebels 'at government's request' (AKI) -Yemeni al-Qaeda cell spokesman Ahmad Mansour has said that the government asked it to fight a Shia rebel group in the North of the country, local newspaper al-Wasat reported. "They [the government] have asked us to fight against the followers of Imam al-Houthi of Saada. In return, Yemeni security forces will ease the persecution of our members," said Mansour.
Mansour added that al-Qaeda members are present in various locations throughout Yemen and have always had contact with the government, through Sheikhs and tribal leaders. "Sheikh Osama bin Laden ordered us not to attack [the government] in the country and to combat only the communists, but the relationship with the government soured after the end of the war with Southern Yemen in 1994." said the al-Qaeda militant. Mansour added that the United States still was their number-one enemy and that attacks against tourists could be carried out.

Al Qaeda declares Cyber Jihad on Civilian counter-intel
DEBKAfile Exclusive: Al Qaeda declares Cyber Jihad on the West
October 30, 2007, 9:31 PM (GMT+02:00)
Symbol of al Qaeda's Cyber Warriors
In a special Internet announcement in Arabic, picked up DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources, Osama bin Laden’s followers announced Monday, Oct. 29, the launching of Electronic Jihad. On Sunday, Nov. 11, al Qaeda’s electronic experts will start attacking Western, Jewish, Israeli, Muslim apostate and Shiite Web sites. On Day One, they will test their skills against 15 targeted sites expand the operation from day to day thereafter until hundreds of thousands of Islamist hackers are in action against untold numbers of anti-Muslim sites.
DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report that, shortly after the first announcement, some of al Qaeda’s own Web sites went blank, apparently crashed by the American intelligence computer experts tracking them.
The next day, Oct. 30, they were up again, claiming their Islamic fire walls were proof against infidel assault.
They also boasted an impenetrable e-mail network for volunteers wishing to join up with the cyber jihad to contact and receive instructions undetected by the security agencies in their respective countries.
Our sources say the instructions come in simple language and are organized in sections according to target. They offer would-be martyrs, who for one reason or another are unable to fight in the field, to fulfill their jihad obligations on the Net. These virtual martyrs are assured of the same thrill and sense of elation as a jihadi on the “battlefield.”
In effect, say DEBKAfile’s counter-terror experts, al Qaeda is retaliating against Western intelligence agencies’ tactics, which detect new terrorist sites and zap them as soon as they appear. Until now, the jihadists kept dodging the assault by throwing up dozens of new sites simultaneously. This kept the trackers busy and ensured that some of the sites survived, while empty pages were promptly replaced. But as al Qaeda’s cyber wizards got better at keeping its presence on the Net for longer periods, so too did Western counter-attackers at knocking them down. Now Bin Laden’s cyber legions are fighting back. The electronic war they have declared could cause considerable trouble on the world’s Internet.

Not a problem, this is the remanants of the old al-jinan.org . They are using off the shelf kiddy scripts. The group is using a secret web site and email adr to recruit.
At the very MOST they will disrupt access to a few web sites for min.s.
The group doesn't have more than 100 members. Their IT advisors in India are being monitored.
They have new names, and have started some limited Smacking, defacing web sites. We have watched/tracked them in action and got the websites restored before they could even make copies of the defacement.
Wanna be jahidists, giving real Islamist Hack3rs a bad name.
A Muslim friend calls this: " the case of the cotton tailed duck attacking the Lion."
Another example of al Qaeda's many FAILURES.

AQ must think this is important.
Look at who they chose for the cover pic. A dead man Binny, Dead man walking: al Zawahiri
And a boy toy chub: Gaddahn ( with make up, a kiffer living among them ) link. Zawahiri stills refuses to be on screen with the american Gaddahn, no public display. Its a kitchen list of complaints, threats and cartoon of car blowing up.
And most important notice the field of depth in the photo, Gaddahan is first. An indication of the NEW al Qaeda leadership. OBL is looking AWAY, Zawahiri is in the BACKGROUND, and in the FOREGROUND the heir apparent: Gaddahn. The NEW al Qaeda leader.
Hell al Qaeda can't even run their own Jihad, they have an American do that for them..
al Qaeda keeps looking for softer targets as they are running out of men. Now they threaten embassies.
1 hour, 17 minute video waste of time.
They are loosing it and trying to remain relevant. This video is just sad. Well done, but no content, all flash.
Their demand is "Stop the Crusade and leave the Muslims alone." Ole binny should have thought of this before he did 911.
And a lengthy whine from a suicide bomber that took the easy way out. Seems it was a very IMPORTANT suicide bomber, but not important enough to send a camera to film his suicide, they had to make a cartoon about it.
The video continues to glorify Muslim killing Muslim, women, children and bombing Mosques and market places, an abomination to Allah and the Koran.
They should consider surrender and then USA would pull out.
All this hoopla and then this 1 hour and 17 min whine. Gaddhan came to limelight in 2004 when he threatened in one such video, "Allah willing, the streets of America will run red with blood." 2 years later and no blood in streets, Gaddhan not a reliable source.
An analysis of the attacks carried out in the past two years reveals a curious fact. In 43% of the bombings conducted last year and in 26 of the 57 bombings traced in this study up to June 15 this year, the only death caused by the bombing was that of the bomber himself. This means that, astoundingly, about 90 suicide bombers in this two-year period succeeded in killing only themselves.
There was one period in the spring of 2006 (February 20 to June 21) when a stunning 26 of the 36 suicide bombers in Afghanistan (72%) killed only themselves. This puts the kill average for Afghan suicide bombers far below that of suicide bombers in other theaters of action in the area (Israel, Chechnya, Iraq and the Kurdish areas of Turkey).
Such unusual bomber-to-victim death statistics are, of course, heartening both for coalition troops.
Expected more. Full video here This is AQ Begging for suicide bombers....to take the EASY way out. Request continues to go unheeded, for good reason.
