Three well-trained terrorists (NFI) have been assigned by Osama Bin LADEN to conduct a suicidal
attack against KARZAI. According to the source, the three terrorists will pass Afghanistan border in
ten days with counterfeit journalist passports, obtained from an Arab country, potentially PAKISTAN
(NFI). They are planning to conduct the attack during a press conference or a meeting held by
KARZAI. Their second plan is to conduct a similar spectacular attack against NATO, ISAF or UN
officials. They will use their cameras or recorders as RCIED's or IED's in this attack.

PROVINCES: A JOINT GROUP OF GOA OFFICIALS WHO HELD THEIR GOVERNMENT POSITIONS
DURING THE TB REGIME AND OTHER TB COMMANDERS ARE PLANNING FOR FUTURE ATTACKS IN
THE BAGHRAN DISTRICT, HELMAND PROVINCE, AND DEH RAWOD DISTRICT, ORUZGAN PROVINCE.
THIS JOINT GROUP CURRENTLY RESIDES IN IRAN. THE GROUP CONSISTS OF EIGHT MAIN LEADERS,
ALL OF WHOM TRAVEL WITH SEVEN BODYGUARDS. THE LEADERS TRAVEL INTO AF TO RECRUIT
SOLDIERS, BUT THEY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO CONDUCT THE ATTACKS THEMSELVES. INITIALLY, THE
JOINT GROUP WILL ATTACK NGOS AND GOA OFFICIALS TRAVELING ALONG THE ROADS OF AF. IF
THESE ATTACKS ARE SUCCESSFUL, THEY WILL START TO ATTACK U.S. FORCES. THE GROUP WILL USE
HIT AND RUN TACTICS USING AK-47 ASSAULT RIFLES AND IEDS. THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT HAS
OFFERED EACH MEMBER OF THE GROUP 100,000 RUPEES (1740 USD) FOR ANY AF SOLDIER KILLED

15 MAR 05: A/2-5 IN FORCES REPORTED THAT TWO HAZARAN WORKERS WERE ATTACKED AND
KILLED BY THREE MEN AT 0645Z AT A CHECKPOINT IN VICINITY OF 42S TB 828 507. THE VICTIMS
NAMES WERE QASIM ALI, A 47-YEAR-OLD FROM SASPAR VILLAGE (42S TB 7747), AND NAROOZ ALI, A
13-YEAR-OLD ALSO FROM SASPAR VILLAGE. THE VICTIMS WERE SAID TO HAVE HAD NO ENEMIES
AND NO OUTSTANDING DEBTS. BOTH MEN WORKED FOR MATIOLLA, THE LEAD CONTRACTOR FOR
THE CHECKPOINT (AND ALSO THE CONTRACTOR FOR THE HOSAYNI SCHOOL). TWO PASHTUN
WORKERS FROM FEREMOZ VILLAGE (GRID UNKNOWN) WHO NORMALLY WORKED AT THE
CHECKPOINT WERE NOT PRESENT TODAY (15 MAR 05).

THIS ATTACK MAY HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED BY THE BODYGUARDS THAT WORK FOR ATIQUE, A
LOCAL CONTRACTOR. THE PATROL THAT RESPONDED TO THIS REPORT RAN INTO ATIQUE EN ROUTE
TO THE LOCATION AT A CHECKPOINT LOCATED NEAR ROUTE HOOSIERS AND ROUTE GOPHERS.
SINCE HE IS THE CONTRACTOR, IT WAS NOT ALL THAT RANDOM. ATIQUE PLAYED DUMB AS IF HE
HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. HIS TRUCK, ALTHOUGH BLUE IN COLOR, WAS CAKED IN MUD
TO THE POINT THAT IT APPEARED TO BE BEIGE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUNLIGHT FROM 600 METERS
AWAY. ATIQUE HAD ONLY TWO MEN WITH HIM, WHICH LEFT THREE SEATS OPEN IN THE TRUCK.
HE HAS BEEN DISGRUNTLED RECENTLY FOR TWO PRIMARY REASONS: 1. ATIQUE WANTED
CONTRACTS FOR ALL THREE CHECKPOINTS THAT WERE BEING BUILT; 2. (MORE IMPORTANTLY) THE
NORTH WALL THAT HE BUILT FOR A/2-5 IN FORCES AT FOB ANACONDA HAD COLLAPSED AND A
NEW CONTRACT HAD BEEN GIVEN TO A HAZARAN TO REPAIR IT (AND ATIQUE WAS NEVER PAID THE
FULL AMOUNT BECAUSE THE WALL HAD NOT BEEN BUILT PROPERLY). HE HAD STATED THAT THE
LOCAL PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE HAD LOST THE CONTRACT TO A HAZARAN.

Update to Threat from TB in South

Organization(s) Involved: TALIBAN

NATO CLASSIFICATION: NATO CONFIDENTIAL REL ISAF RELIABILITY/CREDIBILITY: C-3. DATE OF

REPORT: 20050910. LOCATION: Chakmani, Paktya Province; Deh-Rawud, Uruzgan Province, AF
OVERVIEW: Terrorism Air Threat. Follow up to ADET-CIINTREP-2005-VII-415. Taliban moves two
Man-Portable Air Defense System (MANPAD) rockets from Kandahar Province to the Paktya and
Uruzgan Provinces. TEXT: 1. During the month of August, Mullah OMAR ordered that two of the six
Stinger-type MANPADs be moved to the Paktya and Uruzgan Provinces respectively. Shortly after the
order was issued, Taliban elements moved the MANPADs to the Paktya and Uruzgan Provinces. 2.
One MANPAD was moved to the village of Chakmani (Geocoord: 334800 N 694900 E) which is near
the city of Gardez in the Paktya Province. The MANPAD was placed in a valley just outside Chakmani.
At the west end of the valley is a Government of Afghanistan Forces base, Not Further Specified
(NFS), and at the east of the valley is a National Assembly and Provincial Council Elections facility,
NFS. These two facilities are approximately five to ten kilometers from one another on opposites
ends of the valley. Taliban has observed a number of Coalition Forces (CF) aircraft in this area, and
may be planning to attempt to use the MANPADs against CF Aircraft. 3. The second MANPAD was
moved to the Deh-Rawud (Geocoords unavailable) area in the Uruzgan Province. Again, Taliban may
be planning to attempt to use the MANPADs against CF Aircraft. 4. Mullah MUJAHED, Commander of
Taliban forces in the Uruzgan Province and close confidant of Mullah OMAR, was in charge of
transporting the MANPADs to these areas. 5. The remaining four MANPADs remain stored in the
village of Panjwai, near the city of Kandahar, AF. COMMENTS: 1. Reference ADET-CIINTREP-2005-VII-
415. BACKGROUND: On approximately 13 JUL 05, three individuals entered Afghanistan from Iran
carrying six MANPADS. The individuals entered Afghanistan at Rabata-Jali (Coordinates unavailable;
Rabata-Jali lies on the Afghan-Iran border at the extreme southwest tip of Afghanistan). The
individuals traveled to Panjwai, near the city of Kandahar, AF. The three Iranian individuals delivered
the MANPADS to a small group of Taliban individuals in the area. The MANPADS are currently stored
near Panjwai. The MANPADS delivered to the Taliban elements were made in Iran and very closely
resemble US-made Stinger MANPADS, so much so that the MANPADS appear to be exact Stinger
replicas. When news of the delivery of these MANPADS reached senior Taliban leadership in Quetta,
PK, senior Taliban leadership ordered Taliban elements within the Afghan National Army (ANA) to
find individuals with experience in firing MANPADS, and to attempt to recruit these individuals to
fire the MANPADS on behalf of the Taliban. Senior Taliban leadership gave specific instructions to
attempt to recruit individuals with MANPAD expertise from the ranks of the ANA Anti-Aircraft
Division within Kabul. NATO CONFIDENTIAL REL ISAF

3.A.1. (S-GCTF) HIG LEADER WARNS OF SUMMER IED ATTACKS. As of early 2006, HIG leader
Hekmatyar Gulbuddin claimed that HIG and TB had four mobile cells operating inside Afghanistan,
who planned to conduct IED and suicide bombing attacks against CF in Jun or Jul 2006. The mobile
cells were based in Herat, Kandahar and Zarmat, Afghanistan. The terrorist cells were equipped with
motorcycles, bicycles, and automobiles, which were configured to be VBIEDS. The cells also had
explosive laden vests, which weighed approximately seventeen kilograms. Suicide bomber cell
members planned to wear the vests and either drives a motorcycle or walks into a coalition convoy
and then detonates the device. Pulling the cord on the vest could detonate the devices. The vest
reportedly has a kill radius of approximately twenty feet and would destroy a car as long as if located
within this distance. In addition, Hekmatyar reportedly claimed that cell members would be
rewarded monetarily for various attacks. Families of the suicide bombers would be provided U.S.
$20,000. Cell members who killed an American would be rewarded U.S. $5,000, and cell members
who killed an Afghan solider or a pro-Afghan government mullah would be rewarded U.S. $1,000.

TWO MEMBERS OF THE IRANIAN INTELLIGENCE

Organization(s) Involved: HEZB E ISLAMI GULBUDDIN,Iranian Secret Intelligence Service,TALIBAN

03 JUN 2006 RO FHT3 1463

Two members of the Iranian Intelligence Secret Service have arrived in SYAHGERD village (42SVD
883726)/ GHORBAND district/ PARWAN province, being helped by JAWED GHORBANDI (important
local person in PARWAN province). These two Iranians have forged AFG IDs on the names of ABDUL
JALIL and AHMADDIN. Those 2 AFG forged IDs were made in SYAHGERD village/ GHORBAND district/
PARWAN province. Sometimes, these two Iranian individuals come to KABUL city and they stay in
the ABDUL KHALIL GHORBANDI's hotel (NFI).

These two Iranians are tasked to instigate local AFG people into making propaganda against the AFG
governmental authorities and CF members. Also they are helping HIG and TB members in carrying
out terrorist attacks against the AFG governmental authorities and the CF members, especially
against the Americans forces.

ABDUL JALIL is about 37 years old, short black beard, short grey hair and brown eyes.

AHMADDIN is about 25 years old, tall, white complexion, long hair and brown eyes.

At 0230Z, TF Chosin reported a green on green incident occurred 53km SE of Jalalabad. Incident

reported SAF, RPK, and RPG fired between villagers. 78 police were dispatched to control the
situation, however when police tried to intervene they were fired upon. The Governor of Nangarhar
planned to move ANA into the city to assist the police. Governor requested CF support or an AC to
fly over as a show of force. He believed that this would deter villagers from fighting. At 0530Z, a
fixed wing aircraft conducted a show of force and dropped flares over the green on green site.
Fighting calmed and diplomats moved into the city to try and work out a solution. NDS reported they
have knowledge of the instigators and believe that they are located in Jalalabad. ANA from Mehtar
Lam PRT prepared to respond to the situation as needed. At 1100Z, JBAD PRT reported that the
Deputy Governor and Chief of Police are still working with tribal elders on finding a compromise to
the feud. Fighting has stopped.

At 1152Z, TF Wolf Pack received a report from NDS in Spera District that 2 tribes are disputing over
land in the village of Arsal Khel approximately 44 km SW of Khowst. Khowst PCC reports that there is
heavy SAF being exchanged by the 2 tribes that began at 0557Z. ANP moved to the village to try to
neutralize the fighting. Governor directed BG Akram to respond and 1st BDE 203rd ANA Corps is
responding with a company of ANA. No CF support requested ATT. PCC reported that two LN had
been injured during the fighting and have been taken to the Gardez hospital.

Gurbuz Districts vicinity ABP CP Lija located approximately 16 km S of Khowst City. ABP reports that
the fighting is between 4 tribes. CF assistance has not been requested. No ANSF have responded to
the situation as of yet. GEN Ayoub is aware of teh situation but is tentative to get involved. At 1128Z,
TF Wolf Pack reports ANP from both Tani and Gurbuz have negotiated a truce between the tribal
elders. Next Friday, tribal leaders will have a Shura in which they will approach their issues.

(Delayed Report) At approximately 0740Z, TF Iron Gray received a call from the PCC that the ANP
Security Chief in Ghazni received a report that a LN in Ghazni Hospital claims to have been shot by
Coalition forces. TF Iron Gray has no knowledge of any LN being shot and TF Iron Gray had no patrols
in the area at the time of the shooting. LN Claims to have been shot at VC 471 118 area of Kwaya
Ahmad. ANP reported that a US convoy of approx 8 HUMVEES and a "EOD looking
vehicle" came into Ghazni from Sharona at approximately 0630Z and the lead vehicle engaged
a LN vehicle with MG fire. 2 ANP Officers reported that the convoy came into town, LN vehicle did
not yield to US convoy (unknown to full details). Gunner on lead truck shot into the vehicle and
convoy kept going out of the area. LN sustained a GSW to the left shoulder and neck and is currently
at the local hospital and will be transferred to Kabul for further treatment. The LN, Mohamad Baluch
is a mechanic and was test driving the car. LNs informed them that the "same convoy"
came back through Ghazni about 30 min later. The crowd started throwing rocks at the convoy and
attempted to stop the convoy, but the police held them back and allowed the convoy to pass. TF

INSURGENTS ARRIVE IN KUNDUZ

Organization(s) Involved: OPPOSING MILITANT FORCES

17 JUL 2006, RC NORTH INTSUM 0375, NIC

NAJIMULLAH arrived in KUNDUZ, KUNDUZ Province with explosives on 14 jul 06

(Ref.: PRT KDZ INTSUM 16 Jul 06)

(N/I C) According to HUMINT source, Kari NAJIMULLAH arrived in KUNDUZ on 14 jul 06. He was
accompanied by Kari Abdul RAUF and Eng PURNASSAR. Kari NAJIMULLAH maintains contacts to Kari
WAJIB, Mullah GARFUR from ASQALAN (42SVF7878), KUN-DUZ District, KUNDUZ Province, Cdr
WALAKI and Said RASSUL in KUNDUZ.

(N/I C) Kari Abdul RAUF is from RUSTAQ (42SWG7409), RUSTAQ District, TAKHAR Province, and was
trained in PAKISTAN probably.

(N/I C) The group could be in possession of Italian anti-tank mine TC/6 and uses British AT Mk VIII
mines. The group plans to send suicide assassins with VBIED to KUNDUZ. It is possible that clueless
drivers in prepared cars with RC IED will be sent to targets. Fur-thermore it was said that the suicide
assassins wear Russian mines like PFM-1 like a belt. The mine's diameter is approx. 7 cm and the
length is approx. 30 cm. The mines were smuggled via PAKISTAN to AFGHANISTAN.

(N/I C) HUMINT reports that Kari NAJIMULLAH is about 28 years old and was in PAKI-STAN for
training during the TB-war. He was trained by Arabic specialists for three years in a madrassa.

(N/I C) Maulawi RUSTAM was his mentor in AFGHANISTAN. Due to his connection to Maulawi
RUSTAM and having no experience of war, NAJIMULLAH preserved a special training and became an
important OMF-head. So-called ABDULLAH is the brother of Kari NAJIMULLAH and is married to an
Arab. His wife was a present by Osama BIN LADEN because ABDULLAH is an infamous specialist for
RC IEDs. (Source Grading C3)

At 0643Z TF Aegis reported green on green fighting between the Nassir and Shamulzayi tribes 29KM
SE of FOB Raptor. Pakistani soldiers were reported to have taken place in the fighting before crossing
back into Pakistan. Upon further investigation this incident appears to be only tribal fighting not
involving Pakistani troops. There is long standing tension between the tribes. Governor Armand
from Zabol is visiting the location tomorrow to seek a resolution of the conflict. He will be
accompanied by tribal elders from both sides, ANA and ANP commanders and a US State Dept
official. NFTR.

SUICIDE THREAT IN RC NORTH AO

Organization(s) Involved:

16 AUG 2006, RC NORTH INTSUM 0405, NIS;

Taliban suicide bombers sent to MEYMANEH, FARYAB Province

(Ref.: PRT MEY INTREP 06-002 060816)

(N/I S) At the 16th of August at 15:50 a PRT MEY CS received information that the TALIBAN bombers
mentioned in this SPEC INTREP is now on route from MAZAR-E Sharif to MEYMANEH, FARYAB
province. Reportedly they drive a car, unknown brand or colour. The group consist of four persons.
They are reported to be headed for the house of Abdul GHANI. Further information about this group
are to be found in this SPECINTREP.

(N/I S) Reportedly a high level meeting was held in QUETTA, PAKISTAN where six suicide bombers
were given orders for an operation in Northern Afghanistan. Two persons have been given targets in
KUNDUZ, two in MAZAR-E-SHARIF and the last two are said to come to FARYAB .
(N/I S) These meetings take place once every month, and there are usually about twenty people
present. The place for the meeting alternates between QUETTA and villages (NFDG) on the border
between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The top four people in these meetings are Mullah OMAR,
OSAMA BIN LADEN, Mullah DADULLAH and Mullah BARADER (PHON). Mullah DADULLAH is called
DADULLAH LANG, because he is missing a leg.

(N/I S) The six foreigners who have been given the assignment, have each been given USD 50.000 to
conduct the attacks, and they have been promised that their families will be taken care of. It is not
known what nationality these foreigners are from, but allegedly one is Chinese. The prices for
suicide attacks are equivalent to the difficulty of the task and how important the target is. It is more
expensive to target a commander than an employee from an NGO. Allegedly the attacker who was
tasked to kill DOSTUM in KABUL three months ago was paid one million dollars. Reportedly the
ordinary "salary" for suicide attacks is between USD 50-100.000. This could possibly indicate that the
targets for this attack are low-level and/or easily accessible.

(N/I S) A group of Taliban terrorists bound for Afghanistan left Pakistan yesterday, 14th August 2006.
The group has entered Afghanistan, and is probably in either KANDAHAR or HELMAND. The main
group will be split up in single groups assigned to conduct suicide attacks in different Provinces. Each
group is allocated to a specific Province. A single group consist of a non-Afghan suicide operative,
and a logistical and administrative support team of three or four people. There were six or seven
suicide operatives with the main group. This means that there are six or seven single groups who are
assigned to carry out suicide attacks in different provinces of Afghanistan.

(N/I S) The attackers will either use a VBIED or an explosive vest. The six people designated for this
attack has been trained by AHMAD MURGHABI (PHON) in Pakistan. Mullah AKHTAR OSMANI is the
one who is in charge of suicide attacks, and is the one who planned the operation.

(N/I S) MURGHABI is a close associate of Mullah BARADER, and has regular meetings with him.
MURGHABI is the one who is responsible for the teaching of suicide bombers and also improvised
explosive devices and guerrilla warfare. He has twelve new students now, all whom are from GHOR.
They will most likely only be taught IED's and Guerilla warfare, since Afghans normally don't conduct
suicide bombings.

(N/I S) Among the main group who entered Afghanistan were Taliban's shadow Governors for each
of the provinces where suicide attacks will be made. The Governors may travel with the group
assigned to conduct suicide attacks in their province.

- Taliban's appointed Governors for the Northern Provinces of Afghanistan are currently in
MORGHAB on the border between FARYAB and GHOR. These are:

- Maulawi GUL AHMAD (PHON). He is the appointed governor for JAWZJAN, and the acting governor
for SARI PUL.

- Commander AHMAT (PHON). He is the appointed governor for GHOR.

- Maulawi ASIM (PHON). He is currently the governor for FARYAB, but is due to be changed in the
near future (NFDG).
(N/I S) Mullah OMAR is currently not pleased with the way the Taliban shadow Governor for
FARYAB, Mullah ASEM (PHON), is carrying out his tasks. Taliban maintains shadow Governors for the
different provinces of Afghanistan. These are responsible for Taliban activity within their province,
and receive money from Mullah OMAR. The money is expected to be used to administrate, manage
and execute terrorist attacks and other insurgent activities inside Afghanistan.

(N/I S) Reportedly Mullah OMAR called Taliban's shadow Governor for FARYAB, Mullah ASEM
(PHON), and asked him why he wasn't taking the opportunity to hand out weapons and escalate the
situation in the planned demonstrations in MEYMANEH. Mullah OMAR has sent money to Mullah
ASEM (PHON) and wants insurgency activities to be carried out as a result of the funding.

(N/I S) If Mullah ASEM (PHON) is to be replaced, the next Taliban shadow Governor is likely to be
Mullah Abdul BAQI.

(N/I S) One of the single groups has been selected to go to Faryab Province and conduct a suicide
attack in MEYMANEH (41S PV 600 760) . The exact time for the attack is not yet known, but the
target will be any foreigners, including ISAF and UN in MEYMANEH. The exact nature of the attack is
unknown, but it may be either vehicle born, or carried out by the operative wearing a suicide vest.
The group bound for MEYMANEH carries explosives with them from Pakistan. The exact route and
means of travel for the Taliban operatives bound for FARYAB has not yet been decided.

(N/I S) The MEYMANEH group is led by Haji HAFIZ from KANDAHAR or QUETTA. HAFIZ is of light build
and has a black beard with tones of white. He has cut his beard short in order to avoid resemblance
with a typical Taliban member. His two deputies are FNU HABIBULLAH and Mullah MUJAHED, both
from CHARBOLAR (GNK) in MASAR e SHARIF (42S UF 3164). The suicide operative is an unknown
foreigner.

(N/I S) The group will travel to MAZAR E SHARIF before moving on to MEYMANEH. While in MAZAR E
SHARIF, the group will stay in the home of Mullah MUJAHID.

(N/I S) While in MEYMANEH, the group will stay in Abdul GHANI's house near the Meymaneh River
(GNK). GHANI is a Kakari Pasthu, and a friend of Mullah DADULLAH LANG, a high ranking Taliban
official. Abdul GHANI is possibly from KARTI AFSARAN (PHON) (GNK) either in MAZAR E SHARIF or
MEYMANEH.

(N/I S) PRT MEY Comment: No further details are known about the actual targets, the timings or the
nature of the intended operations. PRT MEY does not hold any documentation that such operations
have been conducted in FARYAB the recent years.

(N/I R) CHARBOLAR (GNK) in MASAR e SHARIF can be CHAHAR BOLAK (42S TF 965 704) in CHAHAR
BOLAK district, BALKH Province.

(N/I S) Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) runs a training facility in QUETTA, and train Pakistani activists
from Jamyat-Ul-Talabah (PHON) and Harakat Islami Kashmir (PHON) as well as Chechens, Uzbeks,
Afghans and Arabs.
(N/I S) Reportedly PRT KONDOZ has been informed that two VBIED, one silver Toyota Corolla and
one yellow-white taxi Toyota Corolla, was found by ANP in KONDOZ City, KONDOZ Province. The
drivers of the cars have been arrested.

(N/I S) HAJI HAFIZ could be HAFIZ that has earlier served as guide and supplier for suicide bombers in
KANDAHAR. HAFIZ means of transport has earlier been a TOYOTA COROLLA TAXI. HAFIZ is believed
to originate from FARAH province in AFGHANISTAN.

(N/I S) Mullah MUJAHED is possible ANWAR AL-HAQ, aka MUJAHED. MUJAHED is not a common
name, but often seen as a label for veteran mujahedin fighters. ANWAR AL-HAQ is earlier reported
to be a TALIBAN commander thought to be conducting insurgent activities in NANGARHAR province,
AFGHANISTAN. Mullah MUJAHED might also be ANWARUL HAQ MUJAHED, listed as TALIBAN in
charge of NANGARHAR province as of April 2006. He is reportedly close to TALIBAN leader Mullah
OMAR.

(N/I S) ABDUL GHANI may possible be identical with the ABDUL GHANI suspected of conducting
VBIED attacks against ANSF and IC in the KANDAHAR. Suspected insurgents in KANDAHAR ABDUL
HABIB and MUHAMMAD TOWOS, both sons of ABDUL GHANI, was arrested together with infamous
terrorist operative SHAD GUL in KANDAHAR in February 2006. They were suspected of prepairing a
TOYOTA HILUX SURF with explosives and remote control to be used as a VBIED.

(N/I S) The shadow governor for FARYAB Maulawi ASIM is the same as Mullah Asem MUTAQI,
instated approx early 2004. He is a Pasthu from CHOR DARYA (grid 41SPA655390 or 41SPA675405)
or DAWLATABAD (41SPA7232), but currently recides with his close family in QUETTA, Pakistan. He
still has relatives in DAWLATABAD (41SPA7232). Early 2005 MUTAQI held influence in ALMAR,
QAYSAR and KHWAYA NAMOSA districts of FARYAB province. After NDS made an attempt to arrest
him, he escaped to QUETTA in PAKISTAN.

(N/I S) PRT MEY Assessment: The recent reports on possible suicide bombers must be taken
seriously due to the serious nature of the stated information. All reports regarding this issue must be
seen in connection with each other, but not used as verification to either. An earlier reporting stated
that the suicide bombers had not yet entered Afghanistan. That information is contradicted in this
report.

(N/I S) Possible suicide bombers will most likely be revealed by the Uzbek population in the lucid
FARYAB. They might find support and hide among the general Pashtu population pending action. But
since there is no known support organization, they are most likely to operate independently, or
bring own support team. The historic lack of equivalent events does not imply that such actions
could not occur, but there is presently not enough information available to determine the credibility.
If true, the terrorists will probably attack targets to either undermine the perception of GoA as able
to provide security or bodies which they identify with Western imperialism. These would probably
be soft targets and mainly effect the population. The most likely nature of an attack against ISAF
would be a version of an IED / VBIED, but amplifying information is required to make an assessment
of the nature and probability of the threat

(N/I C) There has been sporadic reporting about Taliban activities in connection to the Pasthun
nomads present during the summer and in the Pashtun populated areas, but there has been no
specific information that provides a reasonable probability of TALIBAN hostile presence. Uzbek
commanders use the alleged presence of TALIBAN as justification for not handing in weapons and
the villagers use these arguments as leverage in the persisting land and water disputes.

(N/I C) The Uzbeks have a historical hatred for TALIBAN and have been assessed most likely to
possess both the will and ability to hinder TALIBAN in getting a foothold in FARYAB. The seriously
unsuccessful harvest, the drought and thereby the worsening living conditions seem to have
mitigated most of the ethnic tension and was assessed to rather increase criminal activity. PRT MEY
has surveyed the Pashtun areas the recent weeks to validate whether the allegedly worsened living
conditions due to the rule of Uzbek Commanders could nurture and fuel radicalism without finding
substantial proves. The absence of such indications does not omit that there could be people
supportive to TALIBAN. In given circumstances they might be supportive or ally themselves with
terrorist elements.

(N/I S) However the continued and detailed information gained through several reports lately can at
best be viewed as a deception attempt. In worst case scenario the reported insurgents will try to
carry through with their mission against ISAF and the IC.

(N/I S) Due to the heat the insurgents are receiving from NDS and Afghan National Security Forces in
KANDAHAR and KABUL and the presence of highly capable ISAF and Coalition forces in the Southern
part of AFGHANISTAN, it is likely that they are looking for a easier way to conduct their operations.
FARYAB with its quiet country living and few politically or religiously motivated hostile impacts
against the IC will without a doubt present itself as a easy target for such OMF forces as the
TALIBANS described.

(N/I S) PRT MEY COA Assessment: However it is difficult to point out one single reaction for force
protection as the correct one in a case like this. The PRT should keep up its regular work, but tighten
up the security awareness and routines. No unit must fall into the trap of being predictable in its
conduct of duty or choice of path. The intelligence gathering will continue in order to reveal the
insurgents.

TB PREP FOR AUTUMN OFFENSIVE IN HELMAND

Organization(s) Involved: TALIBAN SOUTH

19 AUG 06, INTSUM REPORT 1596, CJSOTF, NIS (S//REL USA, AUS and ISAF)

TB Preparations for Autumn Offensive in Helmand and Oruzgan Province: On or about 23 July 2006,
Agha Mohammad Osmani, operational CDR in Helmand Province said he had received orders from
PAK to prepare for a large-scale TB offensive in Helmand and Oruzgan Province. Reportedly, the
attack will commence on 20 August 2006 and continue for one-month, concluding 20 September
2006. Osmani pointed out the autumn offensive is the major offensive preceding winter and that
there is a shortage of specific weapons such as short-range rockets and anti-aircraft rockets.
According to Osmani, a TB delegation was in Iran attempting to procure the weaponry. Osmani
commented that the relationship between the TB and Iran has never been stronger. (PIR: 1)
CJSOTF-A ASSESSMENT: (S//REL USA, AUS and ISAF) This report further corroborates event analysis
that there will be a Fall offensive in RC South. However, due to the lack of source credibility we are
unable to confirm the veracity of this report at this time. We assess that there will likely be a Fall
offensive and the TB will likely focus on Helmand and Oruzgan Provinces, where the TB has had the
most success this year in conducting direct fire ambushes, and maintaining indirect fire and IED
activity IVO Kandahar City. (POC: SGT SHEA)

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

30 Dec 06

(290300Z Dec 06 - 300259Z Dec 06)

Country-Wide Threats:

(N/I R) On approximately 17 December 2006, following a meeting between senior members of the
TALIBAN leadership in NOWSHAHRA, Pakistan (GEOCOORD NOT AVAILABLE), which included General
Hamid GUL, the former Chief of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Directorate of Pakistan. During this
meeting GUL claimed he dispatched three unidentified individuals to KABUL City (GEOCOORD: 42S
WD 15172 19937) to carry out IED attacks during the Eid celebration. GUL instructed two of the
individuals to plant IEDs along the roads frequently utilized by Government of Afghanistan (GOA)
and ISAF vehicles. The third individual is to carry out a suicide attack utilizing a suicide vest against
GOA or ISAF entities. Reportedly GUL s final comment to the three individuals was make the snow
warm in KABUL , basically telling them to set KABUL aflame.

(N/I R) The three individuals traveled from SOROBI (GEOCOORD: 42S WD 6817430407), SOROBI
District KABUL Province to their current location in the MUSAYI District, KABUL Province,
(GEOCOORD NOT AVAILABLE) NFI. The two individuals tasked with planting the IEDs will employ two
types of IEDs, these being remotely detonated IEDs and a supposedly new Chinese made magnetic
mine. The three individuals tasked with conducting these attacks will be assisted in entering KABUL
City by a group of five unidentified individuals, described as a KABUL Province criminal gang that is
associated with General AMANULLAH GOUZAR, the current KABUL City Chief of Police.

(N/I R) The Chinese made magnetic mines were described as a metal plate with a magnet attached
to one side and the explosives to the other. The mines are to be planted on roads frequently used
by ISAF and GOA forces throughout KABUL, utilizing the snow as camouflage. Reportedly, once a
vehicle drives over the camouflaged plated mine the magnetic side will attach itself to the passing
vehicle. As the vehicle departs the area one of the unidentified individuals acting as a spotter will
contact the second individual, who will be located on higher ground overlooking the road, via a
cellular phone notifying him the package was picked up. In addition, the spotter will also relay the
vehicle description to include its license plate number or vehicle description. Once the second
individual receives this information and observes the vehicle he will then remotely detonate the
mine. GUL reportedly has received approximately 50 of these mines in order for them to carry out
their operation.

(Delayed Report) At approximately 221145ZDEC06, two SCIDA soldiers were traveling north on route
violet in Kabul. The ANP were in the road directing traffic raised a finger, when the soldiers drove
past. The ANP shot out their back window. There were no casualties reported. MTF pending
additional reporting. ISAF Tracking number 12-278

At 270555Z Dec 06, ROE escalation on Highway 4 ivo KAF (KANDAHAR District, KANDAHAR Province).
1x LN died, ANP was on scene and Highway 4 was closed for about two hours. Incident closed at
0808Z.

(Delayed Report) At 110730ZJAN07 CJSOTF reported a PAKMIL helicopter flew directly east to west
from Pakistan and landed in Afghanistan on the east/northeast side of a bazaar (42S XC 136 031)
near BCP 7. The ABP began engaging the helicopter with 82mm mortars. The helicopter lifted off in
the direction of BCP 7. As the helicopter flew towards BCP 7, ABP soldiers began engaging the
helicopter with DSHKA fire. The helicopter immediately maneuvered away from BCP 7 and headed
east towards the Pakistan border. No casualties were reported on BCP-7. No meetings with the
PAKMIL were scheduled through the local forces or higher headquarters. The RC East LNO to the
PAKMIL was informed and was asked to confirm the incident with the PAKMIL. The PAKMIL were
only able to provide that the Frontier Corps Inspector General had been in the general area but not a
confirmation of a helicopter flying outside of Pakistan and being engaged by ABP forces. Event
closed at 1310Z. ISAF Tracking # 01-179
At 110910ZJAN07 TF Zabul reported an ROE escalation 4km west of Qalat. The unit reported trying
to flag down the driver before firing warning shots. The vehicle kept coming towards them. The
convoy fired 30 to 35 7.62 and 30 5.56 into the engine block to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was
seccessfully stopped. 1 person (LN) was injured in the event and brought to a LN hospital by the
ANP. The area was cordoned off and EOD was dispatched to search the vehicle. EOD arrived and
found no explosives in the vehicle. Event closed at 1205Z. ISAF Tracking# 01-172.

(Delayed Reporting) On 301630ZJAN07 ANP reports that their Headquarters in Delaram,vicinity grid
41S NR 40015903, was attacked last evening by approximately 17-18 ANBP. The dispute between
the local ANP and ANBP allegedly was a result of a reporting by commuters on HWY 1 that the ANBP
were extorting money and goods at checkpoints in Delaram. It was reported to ANP that ANBP stole
$2000 afhgan from a local commuter. The issue was passed to the PRT Police Support Team and
then to local ANP. As a result of the attack by ANBP on the ANP HQ 3 ANBP were killed, 3 ANBP
injured, and 2 ANP injured. A critically injured ANP officer was transported to the medical clinic on
the PRT and is awaiting MEDEVAC to a role 3. The injured ANP officer (Nasim)is the brother of the
Delaram Chief of Police (Abdul Quedir). The PST Team expects retaliation on the part of the ANP for
this action.

At 010235ZFEB07 TF Iron Gray reported while on a dismounted patrol 1km S of Methar Lam TF IRON
GRAY fired upon and injured 2 LNs. The LN vehicle was traveling toward the patrol. The lead soldier
extended his arm gesturing the vehicle to stop. The vehicle failed to yield, the soldier then raised his
weapon following escalation of force. The vehicle again failed to yield. The soldier fired warning
shots into the ground in front of the vehicle. The vehicle again failed to yield, the soldier then fired
upon the driver injuring the driver and passenger. The ANA and ANP responded to the scene to
provide assistance. The LNs were taken to the Methar Lam hospital and transferred to JAF for
MEDEVAC. ISAF Tracking# 02-009.

8. Assessment:

PAKMIL not an effective disruption force; the leadership sounded to be on the right path, but it was
not echoed in the actions of the unit.

9. Attachments: (photos, notes, etc)

On 7FEB07, 2-321 (ABN) FA conducted a Border Flag Meeting with an adjacent PAKMIL commander.
The PAKMIL contingent met us near one of their check points in the middle of a large wadi vic.
(WB865640), displaying a white flag. They had a few individuals dispersed throughout the wadi as
well as some OPs on the high ground. Their compound was around a bend in the wadi, but we never
saw it. There were approximately 50 PAKMIL visible throughout the wadi and surrounding high
ground. They were loosely patrolling, but not in an aggressive stance at all.

Although we brought an interpreter, we soon learned he was unnecessary. The individuals we met
with spoke excellent English. The leader was Lieutenant Colonel Bilal, and artilleryman, who
commanded a Frontier Corps battalion. With him was a MAJ who was in charge of a standard army
unit working with the Frontier Corps battalion. Together, their unit was responsible for
approximately 17 km of the AF-PK border along southern Khowst province.

The colonel didnt waste any time getting to the point saying that there needs to be more
communication between the two forces on either side of the border. He complained that his unit
receives indirect fire from the AF side of the border while trying to conduct patrols. Bilal said that if
we had better communication, this could be avoided and if we needed help, he could assist on his
side with patrols. Bilal also stated that we need to have regular monthly meetings between himself
and the CF commander on the AF side.
He was interested in executing a commo plan he had negotiated with COL Donahue, over a year ago.
He lamented that COL Donahue had given him a phone number to contact him, but it had never
been answered. His plan was to conduct regular radio checks on two different freqs, 65.40 SC PT
with his HQ in Ghulam Khan (WB 959678) and 55.40 SC PT with the Check Point near the site of the
meeting. They do radio checks at 0900 and 1800 Pakistan Standard Time (Z+5 hours) and want CF to
conduct them as well. His units call sign is Quaids Guards. We successfully conducted a radio check
with our radios on site. Colonel Bilals next request was for rechargeable batteries for the AN/PRC-77
radios that he had been provided from an unknown source years before. He had very few and was
using an improvised car battery. Bilal also provided two phone numbers for Thuraya phones:
89803358 and 89851380 for us to use to contact his HQ. We gave him the battalions Thuraya phone
number as well and we said we would look into more batteries and radio checks, but made no
promises. He finished his points by saying that future meetings should be held at his HQ in Ghulam
Khan.

He was also very interested in our array of forces and locations of Border Security Points; as he said
to avoid accidental fighting. Of course we were vague and changed the subject.

We asked about their border security plan. They conduct three basic operations: patrols,
checkpoints, and observation posts. Bilal and his team explained they run constant patrols along the
border and successfully enforce a curfew within 3 km of the border. (Comment: This is highly
unlikely. Reporting indicates that movement from PK to AF during hours of darkness has happened
recently. Also, due to the terrain, it would take constant patrolling by PAKMIL and probably the use
of night observation devices (which they do not have) to stop people from crossing the border in
either direction at night.)

The officers readily stated how focused they were to border security and stated that a lot of blame
throwing has been done recently. Bilal feels that this is unfair because the PAKMIL is doing its share.
They said that the security situation has improved as a result of the agreement made last year
between TB, tribal leaders, and the PAKMIL in Waziristan. When asked if he expected a violent
Spring Offensive, Bilal stated that he did not believe so, because the Frontier Corps control is firm
there is no organized group in Pakistan. (Comment: This comment alone shows how disconnected
this particular group of leadership is from what is going on in reality. The security situation probably
has improved in PK, but after the agreement, AF, particularly Khowst, has seen a 300% increase in
enemy activity since the agreement.)

Wrapping up, Bilal made a final proposal. He stated his interest in organizing joint patrols along the
border so that both sides will know the allies on the other side of the border.

Following the formal discussion, they set a table of finger foods and chi. We continued to talk
discussing more personal histories and the two officers were very open and candid. We took a
group photo (they had taken several of us already while we were sitting there) and then left the way
we came.
Comments: LTC Bilal truly seemed committed to assisting with border security. He felt that his unit
was doing a good job. He is likely so disconnected with the ground truth that his own soldiers could
be assisting TB border crossings. He said on multiple occasions that if we on the AFG side noticed
forces moving along the border to contact them and they would action. I doubt that this would do
any good because PAKMIL/ISI is likely involved with the border crossing, but it may be worth trying.
At least forewarning of IDF may be a good idea to gauge the response of the infiltrating unit.

Also, some reporting has indicated that PAKMIL is building a fence and mining their side of the
border. We saw no such thing and that was not one of the three measures they said that they were
taking to increase border security (patrols, check points, and OPs).

Future meetings should be encouraged with well thought out talking points. Either one of two
things could result from further dialogue: 1) the PAKMIL could be leveraged to increase border
security, or 2) or we can ascertain what elements in the PAKMIL are supporting cross border
operations.

10. Follow-up/Scheduled Meet:

None scheduled.

Sir

Arrived back safe and sound and it turned out to be quite a memorable day, specifically for the
Brigadier and the TFK crew who had not really experienced anything like this during their tour in
Afghanistan. The Pakmil were very hospitable, they were on time at the border and transported the
party to Chaman Fort without event. At the fort they provided light refreshment with snacks and
curry lunch with music post meeting. Presentations were made to the Brigadier and the ANP Chief
and was reciprocated by the Canadian contingent.

The meeting went ahead with the Pakmil echoing your sentiments, (we will need to do a rethink and
get an SOP established for BFM) and I agree with you in that they should be little but often. However
previous BFM''s had been rather grand affairs (almost BSSM) which
is why I introduced the Working groups after the last BSSM in order to combat the obvious gaps in
the programme, but I do agree and we do need to keep the ANSF interested, they were slightly
perturbed at the structure of the Pakmil presence but we discussed this issue during the meeting
and arrived at the same conclusion, so now we can work on that point and resolve it.

They were really keen on the communications part of the meeting, which is strange considering they
have been reluctant to complete the first part of the training programme. However I spoke in depth
with the Comms Officer during lunch, he did not see the requirement to train until the new radios
were issued, but when I explained that it would be an ideal opportunity to firstly get to know your
counterparts and to plan future SOP''s and Exercises before the
radios arrived. They now fully support the idea and are willing to go ahead. I will speak to J6 here
tomorrow and propose a date to meet, still feel that they will be reluctant to travel to Afghanistan.
(even though this was impressed upon them during the meeting)

An interesting point was raised by the Colonel Masud during the meeting that in RC(E) CF went into
Pakistan and killed a Pakmil and took 3 or 4 more soldiers hostage, this was last night apparently, we
obviously could not comment but promised that we would look into it on our return.

The meeting was heading in the direction of a nice meeting without any controversial points or
issues been raised. At this juncture I spoke to both parties to and informed them that this was their
opportunity to be open with each other and speak freely. Indeed this would be the forum to raise
these issues and to get concerns out in the open, that spurred them on and then we had a number
of useful albeit diplomatic issues raised.

The meeting concluded with relationships and dialogue between the Pakistan and Afghanistan
certainly much improved than at the start, this should be a good stepping stone for the future
meetings. it is now imperative that we follow this up very closely with the Communication Ex as soon
as possible, this will give credibility to the purpose of this flag meeting.

I will be in touch regards the Islamabad Conference tomorrow when I have had the opportunity to
discuss the issue with the key players.

It is believed by some members of the community that the Taleban in GMR are in the possession of a
poison that will kill if ingested or comes into contact with the skin. This unidentified poison was
supplied from IRAN and it has been suggested that it is to be used against Government officials such
as Governor WAFA by placing it in their food or tea and would be more effective than the use of
suicide bombers.

TM HADES (HHC 508th STB) conducts humanitarian assistance delivery on 200330ZMAR07 VIC VC
9126724284 IOT provide relief to citizens of the Kharwar District affected by winter weather and
build trust between the ANP/IRoA and the local populace.

Initially, the only signs of town inhabitants were trash and feces in the streets. The people stayed
inside until the Apaches left station; they were mostly unresponsive, even when we told them that
we had brought HA- they were not impressed as they did not believe that they would get any of it.
HUMINT collection was virtually fruitless.

What little infrastructure they have is crumbling and the quality of life is extremely poor. Come
summer and spring, the hygiene conditions will worsen and be cause for concern.

HUMINT Assessment: As we walked into the Bazaar, we noticed no one was in the street. We
could see people in their shops; doors were closed and very few smiles or waves were returned. A
few people were receptive as we spoke to them. We did receive some mean looks. They wondered
why we were coming in with such force. We told them that we had a lot EOF HA for their village.
They expressed concern that the HA would not be fairly distributed. Security was not an issue,
according to the people with whom we spoke. Their main concern is the water supply and buildings
collapsing due to the recent rain. They said people who have been working outside of Afghanistan
will be returning in a nother month or two. These people have been in Pakistan, Iran, and Saudi
Arabia.

Key Leader Engagement Assessment: Met with MAJ Rafiki (ANP Chief of Police), Mirr Akbar (Criminal
Officer), COL Latifi (Logar ANP XO), and the Mullah/Platoon Leader. Took a tour of the compound
and spoke about the physical security issues they were having and also made some
recommendations about their improvements. We discussed previous attacks on the ANP station and
the reasons for them (i.e.- why they were coming from different directions, etc). After the tour, we
sat down to chai. We discussed the HA distribution in detail with the ANP CoP. From the first five
minutes, there seemed to be an ongoing discussion between COL Latifi and MAJ Rafiki. As the
engagement progressed, the interaction became more heated. The interpreter explained that MAJ
Rafiki was complaining about something.

Absent was the Sub-governor. We were told that he would be there, but he decided not to come. He
doesnt live in the town- he lives about 30-45 minutes away and drives himself to work. He does not
have a driver or a bodyguard and it is strange that he drives himself (alone) to work in Kharwar. This
may indicate that he is not worried about anti-government or government threats, which may mean
he has both in his pocket.

The ANP CoP seems like the best among the worst; he understood what we were talking about
concerning the equitable distribution of the HA. However, he made several comments about the
people of Kharwar- how they should get jobs and how he had little influence. We got the impression
that he has little concern for the needs of his people. We tried to impress upon him the difference
between the people and a civil servant and he seemed to understand, if not agree. The ANP CoP is
from the Konar district, so he has no family in Kharwar, which is a good thing as he may normally be
tempted to give hand-outs to his family first. We discussed the plan to use the Shura, the Red
Crescent and the Sub-governor to distribute the HA; he seemed to understand what we were saying
about his job being easier if the people trusted him to support them. He mentioned that he had a
meeting with the Taliban Leaders in Kharwar. At that point, we asked him Do you know who they
are?! and he said yes, of course. At this point in the conversation, COL Latifi kicked out the criminal
officer and the mullah/platoon leader. We began to discuss a mission that the ANP had with the
10th MTN. They were talking about what a failure the mission was because of the terrible
intelligence they had received. We tried to ask about the Taliban leaders and the recent intel we
have received, but at that point, the apaches returned on station and it was time to establish the
HLZ.

As we were walking out, the heated discussion between COL Latifi and MAJ Rafiki flared up again-
apparently, the Criminal Officer had drawn his weapon on MAJ Rafiki and threatened him either this
morning or last night. According to MAJ Rafiki, the Criminal Officer had been bribed to kill him. MAJ
Rafiki said that he was going to quit if he had to continue to work with the Criminal Officer. We
were trying to leave, but a crowd of ANP gathered and the heated discussion almost came to a head.
We loudly told COL Latifi that we had to get on the helicopter and if he wanted me to arrest the
criminal officer, we would. He said that he didnt want to arrest him, but wanted to take him back to
Pul-e-Alam for interrogation and to fire him at least. We searched the Criminal Officer and found
one 9mm pistol with 3 rounds in the magazine. We took the weapon from him and returned it to
COL Latifi after we landed at Pul-e-Alam.

The Mullah/Platoon Leader assumed himself in positions of closeness to whomever he felt was the
most powerful of the group. We asked who he was, and was told he was a platoon leader. We asked
his name and they called him Mullah- according to the Terp, this is strange.

Other: As we walked through the bazaar, there were no shop doors open and few people peeked
out from behind windows or curtains. The bazaar was a canalizing tunnel and the impression was of
walking into a trap/ambush. There were stray animals and barnyard feces in the street and trash
was thrown out of doorways without concern. There were several dead dogs inside the ANP
compound and throughout the town. Also, there was human feces everywhere, without regard for
foot traffic or modesty. Several of the bunkers and trenches had obviously been used as latrines,
despite the fact that there is a latrine facility in the compound. Not only was the facility in disrepair,
it appeared as though the occupants were maliciously negligent. Yesterday, we gave several tarps
and sandbags to the ANP to patch a caved in roof, but the tarps had not been used to make any
repairs.

Note: The DSHKA gunner is a LT, who apparently spends his nights on the megaphone, talking to the
Taliban- taunting them and telling them what a good shot he is. At least one person in Kharwar
understands PsyOps.

(S/NF) PRT TARIN KOWT: DUTCH ACCIDENTLY KILL CIVILIANS DEFENDING VILLAGE FROM
INSURGENTS: (Source: AMEMBASSY KABUL 01019, 28 Mar 07)

Dutch direct fire on an apparent enemy target in support of a village under Taliban attack ended
tragically. Four villagers engaged in the fight to defend Chenartu were killed and another seven
wounded. The Dutch have launched an official investigation and have engaged in a proactive public
relations campaign to prevent political fallout here and in the Netherlands. Although the decision to
fire was justified, the danger is that, having had this action go awry, they will hesitate in the future
with negative consequences for security in the province.

IRAN SEND MANPADS INTO AFGHANISTAN

Organization(s) Involved:

01 APR 2007, RC WEST INTSUM, NSI

ISAF HQ CJ2X INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY 07066 of 19th March 2007

On 01APR07 it was reported that approximately six months ago, IRAN bought seven (7) anti-aircraft
missiles from Algeria. These were imported to IRAN and clandestinely transported from Mashhad,
IRN (CNA) across the border into Afghanistan.

There are reports in the past stating that IRAN supplied the insurgency with MANPADS. However,
this the first time we have had Algeria mentioned as a Point of Origin. There is nothing to support
that ALG should intentionally sell arms to IRN with the purpose of them being delivered to the
insurgents. Also, despite the reporting, we have yet to see any of these alleged MANPADS actually
being used.

02 APR 2007, RC WEST INTSUM, NSI

(HUMINT SUMMARY C3)

Iran is increasing military manoeuvres, drawing up many heavy weapons as cannons near the border
with Afghanistan. In BIRJAND - IRAN (IVO 40S GB 071 394) there is an important base where Iranian
officials train TBs and HIGs members. From that location they use to send to Afghanistan explosive
devices and vehicles ready to be used as SVBIEDs. About two months ago, AQ, helped by Iran,
bought 72 A/A missiles (NFI about which kind of weapons system) from Algeria and then they hid
these weapons in ZAHEDAN (IVO 41R KN 8465) IOT smuggle them later into Afghanistan.

Source: AMEMBASSY KABUL 01167, 9 Apr 07

REF: A. STATE 37801

B. KABUL 1031

C. KABUL 919

SUMMARY

1. (C) Afghanistan is acutely aware of US concerns over Iran''s nuclear

program and will study US non-paper and UNSCR 1747. Foreign Minister
Spanta''s Senior Policy Advisor, Davood Moradian, expressed to Embassy
April 4 concerns over the formation of both the National Unity Council and National Front which he
characterized as creatures of Iran and Russia. He expressed concern they represented a return to
"the politics of the 1990s" and underlined
Afghanistan''s wish for improved relations with its neighbors, particularly
Iran, in order to marginalize foreign influences in the country. Moradian requested US assistance to
beef up the MFA''s public affairs function. END SUMMARY

Iran Sanctions

--------------
2. (C) On April 4, during a regular periodic meeting, PolCouns delivered ref A (regarding UNSCR 1747
which imposes new sanctions on Iran) to Foreign Minister Spanta''s Senior
Policy Advisor, Davood Moradian. Moradian said he was well aware of US concerns and would study
the points and get back to Embassy with any reactions.

National Unity Council: Iran and Russia Behind It

--------------

3. (C) PolCouns raised US concerns over the emergence of the new National Unity Council (NUC)
which wants to place restrictions on international military forces in Afghanistan (ref B). Moradian
agreed it was a very troublesome development. He said Iran and Russia were clearly behind the
NUC and were working together. Moradian believes that the new National Front (ref C), which is
advocating a Parliamentary system and the direct election of governors, is also an Iranian-Russian
product. He said many were concerned that "puppets" of Iran, Pakistan and
India were emerging in the Parliament and organizing themselves into various groups. Moradian
expressed concern that the "politics of the 1990s" were again being played
out in Afghanistan.

4. (C) Regarding the NUC''s future prospects, Moradian said much would
depend on how the NUC presented itself to President Karzai and how Karzai would be able to
manipulate the group himself. Karzai needed to form his own political group since his supporters
were fragmented while the opposition was united. Moradian said that Karzai would run for re-
election but would need to make changes or he would be defeated. He described Karzai as showing
courage in dealing with Pakistan and needing to display the same qualities in confronting his
domestic opponents. In response to PolCounselor reiterating US concern with Karzai using the press
-- including the American press -- to criticize Pakistan, Moradian said that President
Karzai''s attacks on Pakistan should not be viewed as personal attacks on
Musharraf.

Managing Relations With Iran

--------------

5. (C) Moradian explained that "special representatives" from the Iranian

government had recently visited Foreign Minister Spanta to express GoI concern over the resurgence
of the Taliban. Iran had expressed concern about Musa Qala, arguing that Taliban success in
Helmand gave them no choice but to prepare themselves for the possible return to power of the
Taliban in the western provinces and possibly nationally. Moradian explained that one of the
reasons Afghanistan needed normal relations with Iran was to marginalize the pro-Iranian groups in
the country. He noted that the US-Afghanistan Strategic Partnership caused friction with
Afghanistan''s neighbors, but particularly since its neighbors were not being
helpful on security, Afghanistan made no excuses for choosing to go outside the region for security
guarantees (i.e., the US and ISAF). The US would remain the priority country for Afghanistan but a
balance had to be struck between forging a close relationship with the US and not being perceived
as a threat to its neighbors.

6. (C) Moradian said relations with Russia required a similar balancing act. He shared that Foreign
Minister Spanta had tried to convince the Russians that the best way to have good relations with
Afghanistan was not by means of close relations with the Northern Alliance. Russia did not need
them to improve its relations with Afghanistan. Similarly with India, Moradian said that it had a
tendency to try to go beyond the Afghan central government when it should be strengthening
relations with core institutions. Moradian repeated that Afghanistan did not want a return to the
"politics of the 1990s".

(C) PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF MEETS WITH COMMANDER USCENTCOM: (Source: AMEMBASSY

ISLAMABAD 01570, 10 Apr 07)

New US Central Command Commander, Admiral William J. Fallon, met March 31 with Pakistani
President Pervez Musharraf. They discussed Musharraf''s
participation at the recent Arab League Summit (disappointing),
Musharraf''s interest in engaging on Israeli-Palestinian peace
efforts (as a go-between), his efforts to construct an alliance of moderate Muslim states (slow
going), the situation in Iraq (Sunnis need to be given more), continuing concerns about Iran (too
unpredictable), and the status of Pakistan-Afghanistan relations and a plea for better understanding
of Pakistan''s perspective (can''t
trust President Karzai). Admiral Fallon explored with Musharraf ways that the Government of
Pakistan could improve security control and economic prosperity in the FATA and adjacent areas.
Throughout the lengthy and substantive discussion, President Musharraf was relaxed and in
command of the issues and only became highly animated when the talk turned to Afghanistan and
the Pakistani media.
TF 2 FURY was conducting a GAC from 4 CORNERS to FOB GHZ and was involved in a vehicle accident
and EOF incident at VC 53123 01764. At this point of the RTE, both sides of the road have barrier
walls blocking the view of the vehicle crews. The first UAH made the turn indicated in the picture. At
this point a LN van was passing a jingle truck. The van moved into the lane of oncoming traffic
around the turn and made a drastic increase in speed heading straight towards the second UAH. The
crew of the second UAH reacted by simultaneously coming to a stop and firing 3 rounds from an M4
into the van. Due to the short reaction time, approx. 2 -3 seconds, the gunner was not able to place
well aimed shots. Two rounds impacted the windshield and the 3rd impacted the side of the van as
the van began to swerve. At this point the gunner dropped in the hatch and braced for impact. No
LNs were hit by gun fire and have signed statements confirming this. The van came to rest side ways,
leaning against the hood of the UAH. After the accident, it was confirmed that there were 4 LNs in
the van. The medic in the convoy treated 3 of the LNs for minor injuries (leg laceration (stitches),
head laceration, and back lacerations). The 3 passengers of the van made statements that the driver
was driving at excessive speed and erratically since they had left Ghazni City and had cautioned him
to slow down several times. A village elder also arrived on scene saying that he appreciates how CF
drive cautiously through the village and was frustrated with LNs excessive speed around this
dangerous curve. The convoy pulled the van into a position where it can be easily recovered by the
LN and cleared all debris from the road. Pictures were taken of the scene and all 4 LNs involved
made statements of what happened.

B. Task and Purpose of Patrol: 3/A/2-87 IN conducts a leader engagement and HCA Distribution in
the village of Mamadi (42SWB401383) NLT 160500ZApril2007 IOT increase support for Coalition
Forces and the IRoA.

C. Time of Return: 161015ZAPR2007

D. Routes used and Approximate times from point A to B:

From Grid/FOB To Grid/FOB Route Travel

42SWB42614380/Tillman 42SWB401383/Mamadi RTE Honda/BMW/Corvette 10-15km/h

42SWB401383/Mamadi 42SWB42614380/Tillman RTE Honda/BMW/Corvette 10-15km/h

E. Disposition of routes used: RTE Honda is classified at green. Most of the road is dry, but has small
streams running in and out of it. RTE BMW is also classified as green and the streams also run in and
out of it like RTE Honda. RTE Corvette is classified at red. It is extremely muddy and the tightness of
the road makes it hard to move through there. A HMMWV can only travel at about 5 km/h. The
road is also eroding away and forces the HMMWVs to slide into the sides of the wadi.

F. Equipment status: One US HMMWV was broken in the vicinity of 42SWB401400. Part of the
steering broke and needed to be replaced. This took about one hour to fix. Since we were only
about a kilometer from the village, we moved half the patrol to Mamadi, 42SWB401383, and
conducted the engagement while they fixed the HMMWV.

G. Summary: Since the weather system moving in, shortened our engagement, not much was
learned from the elder. He is a very disgruntled man with coalition forces. He blames us for stealing
his AK-47 and doesnt want any cerp projects or handout HCA. He simply wants us to deliver money
to his village and he will take care of it. There was only about 4 kids present. It seems to always be
this way when we go there. No one wants anything to do with us there.

H. Local Nationals encountered:

A.

Position: Village Elder (Tribe: Mandarkhil / Subtribe: Mamakhil)

Location: Mamadi, 42SWB401383

General Information: 70 y/o male, grey hair and beard, 65 inches tall, and 145 lbs. He isnt very
cooperative with coalition forces. Most of the information stated above had to be pulled from him,
he does not want to be seen helping coalition forces.

B.

Position: Villager (Tribe: Mandarkhil / Subtribe: Lalakhil)

Location: Tangeray, 42SWB419407

General Information: 30 y/o male, black hair, about 70 in tall, 150 lbs, skinny in stature. Not very
outgoing, sits on the edge of the conversation and just listens to what is going on. Was previously
detained during OEF V for involvement with IEDs. He also use to work for ASF, but was fired for the
involvement with the IEDs stated above.

Disposition of local security: There were about 15 ASG Soldiers pulling security along RTE Corvette as
we moved through this area. We also had 6 ANA that secured the high ground when we stopped.

I. HCA Products Distributed: 30 X sweaters, 30 X backpacks, 10 X bags of beans, 10 X bags of rice

J. Products Distributed: UXO leaflets, ANA and ANP/ABP propaganda

K. Atmospherics: (reception of HCA, reactions to ANSF and Coalition forces, etc): All villagers/elders
were extremely pleased with the products that we gave to them along. Only the elder didnt want
his village taking the products. He personally blamed George Bush for his AK-47 being taken from
him. He doesnt want us to give stuff to his village because of fear from the enemy punishing him.
He did say he would take money though. Only about 6 kids came out to get stuff. We gave some
stuff for the women of the village too.

L. Conclusion and Recommendation

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: The mission in Mamadi, was a success. Even though our vehicle broke
down, we were able to split the patrol to accomplish the leader engagement. The vehicle was fixed
by the time we were told to RTB because of an incoming wqeather system. The village of Mamadi is
definitely Anti-coalition. They want nothing to do with U.S. or ANA forces. Nothing Further To
Report.

(C) IRANIAN WEAPONS IN AFGHANISTAN: MFA ASKS TO KEEP UNDER WRAPS: (Source: AMEMBASSY
KABUL 01370, 22 Apr 07)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) wants to keep the issue of the Iranian-made weapons recently
found in Kandahar under the radar screen in the lead up to the June visit of the Iranian President to
Afghanistan. According to the MFA, President Karzai supports the plan to avoid additional friction
with Afghanistan''s neighbors and to issue no official public
statements on the incident. (This more moderate tone came across in
Karzai''s meeting with CJCS General Pace and Ambassador Wood
on April 21 - septel). The MFA is asking its international partners to do the same. Looking beyond
the weapons issue, the MFA is aiming to construct a US-Afghan
"framework" for managing relations with Iran, to be discussed
during the proposed meeting between Secretary Rice and Spanta (date TBD). The MFA has asked
the Defense Ministry to determine the manufacturing date of the weapons to see if they might be
from a different period when Iran was regularly supplying the Mujahedin

The cease fire was brokered using a number of different paths. CJTF-82 CHOPS contacted ISAF to
begin engaging IRoA government, particularly the MOI to implement a cease fire by the ANSF. We
also used our PRD LNO at CSTC-A to engage the senior mentors for the MOI. We also contacted the

Former Ambassador to Afghanistan Ronald Neumann met with FCO officials May 14, en route to
Islamabad, New Delhi and Central Asian capitals at the request of SCA A/S Boucher to shore up
support for US policy on Afghanistan. In separate conversations with the Foreign
Office''s South Asia and Afghanistan Director Adam Thomson and
Afghanistan Group Head Richard Codrington, Amb. Neumann discussed the importance of using the
June 11 to 12 US-UK bilaterals to make progress towards a joint position on the next counter-
narcotics campaign, so that by September both countries along with the EU and ISAF can reach
agreement with the GoA. Neumann discussed how best to deal with President Karzai and promote
reconciliation without negotiating with the Taliban, stressing the importance of close coordination in
Kabul and the provinces. He also called for more military trainers/advisers, especially from NATO
countries that have spare capacity. Thomson said the UK was considering making an additional
battalion available for Afghanistan in addition to the one slated to deploy in fall 2007. Thomson
asked for USG help in ensuring that Canada and the Netherlands extend their military presence in
Afghanistan. Codrington stressed the need to reduce civilian casualties to the utmost, to get the
GoA to take a strong stand against Iran''s arming of the Taliban,
and to get Pakistan to squeeze the Quetta Shura

(S//NF) PRT KANDAHAR: MID-MAY SECURITY ROUNDUP: (Source: AMEMBASSY KABUL 01691, 20
May 07)

A dramatic week was launched in Kandahar on May 12 with the killing of senior Taliban Commander
Mullah Dadullah (in Helmand Province) and of Mullah Manan (in Zharey District) on May 13. Many
Kandaharis were jubilant and hundreds lined up to see his body on display at Governor Asadullah
Khalid''s palace. In what may have been a calculated Taliban
counterstrike, three explosions shook Kandahar on May 17, including one apparently targeting
Governor Khalid but instead injuring Minister of Culture and Youth, Abdul Karim Khoram. On May
15, Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team (KPRT) and the Afghan Independent Human Right
Commission (AIHRC) hosted a first -- a meeting on human rights with
Kandahar''s Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and other
security sector leadership. One issue that surfaced in this meeting and in a subsequent security
meeting was growing concern by the provincial leadership over civilian casualties in ISAF operations.
Several recent examples were cited, including allegations that an ISAF convoy or convoys on May 15
in two city districts shot at least seven civilians of whom three died. Governor Khalid and ANSF
leaders also pressed for greater cooperation from ISAF and coalition forces on compound search
techniques. Lastly, estimates are that up to 200 Taliban are now operating in Zharey District,
including Chechens and Uzbeks.

(S) STEPPED UP IRANIAN INFLUENCE REACHES FOREIGN MINISTRY: (Source: AMEMBASSY KABUL
01724, 23 May 07)

Over the past several months, Iran has taken a series of steps to expand and deepen its influence in
Afghanistan. Afghan contacts point to the creation of the National Front and the National Unity
Council, the discovery of Iranian weapons in Afghanistan, Iran''s
control of media outlets and its growing cultural influence, and alleged direct financial support to
members of Parliament as troubling evidence. During May 15 meeting with PolCouns, ForMin
Spanta''s Senior Policy Advisor Davood Moradian accused Iranian
agents of orchestrating Parliament''s recent effort to oust the
Foreign Minister. According to Moradian (whose tenure at the MFA is tied to
Spanta''s), Spanta is one of several moderate secular reformers
Iran has targeted for removal. While Moradian alleged Iran paid USD 4 million to 80-90 members of
Parliament for their support, MPs we talk to claim they were motivated by other factors, including
Spanta''s refusal to give up his German passport and poor
performance on the issue of Afghans deported from Iran. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Safari
visited Kabul on May 14 to protest Spanta''s remarks criticizing Iran
to Parliament. One positive outcome of his visit was an agreement to send a GoA delegation to
Tehran to discuss a more orderly return of Afghan refugees from Iran.

At 302104LMAY07, on egress of TF Fury insertion of Lift 1 , Flipper 75 (CH-47D) was engaged and
struck with a Missile at 41S PR 919 727 shortly after crossing over the Helmand River. Suspected
POO site is 41S PR 92801 71833. A/C was traveling at approx. 70-80 Knots, 200-250ft AGL on an
easterly heading when it was hit from the rear. The missile struck the aircraft in the left engine. The
impact of the missile projected the aft end of the aircraft up as it burst into flames followed
immediately by a nose dive into the crash site with no survivors. A/C was Lift 1, Serial 1, Chalk 2, but
due a delay on HLZ to offload a gator, Flipper 75 along with Chalk 3 took off significantly after Chalk
1 and in effect became a second serial on the same route. Chalk 3 witnessed a burst come from
their SE approx. 300-500m away. Chalk 3 did not witness a flare launch from Flipper 75 which is
consistent with later missile launch at Arrow 25 (AH-64D) in same location that did not bring about
CMWS flare launch. Based on description of launch, size of round, and impact force of the projectile,
it is assessed to be bigger then an RPG and possibly a Surface-to-Air Missile. Witness statements
from Chalk 3 suggest Flipper was struck by MANPAD and is consistent with MANPAD event described
by Arrow 25. ODA responded to crash site and eventually secured the site and recovered crew and
passengers.

Major SAFIRE (SAM) IVO Kajaki Sofla

At 301709ZMAY07, Arrow 22 and 25 provided air support for TF 1FURYs insertion into the Kajaki
Sofla area during Operation KULANG HELLION. After supporting the first lifts insertion, they
redirected their flight to cover a downed CH-47 at 41S PR 92946 72063. While providing overhead
cover to ground forces in the area, the AH-64s were engaged by a probable first-generation
MANPAD. As Arrow 22 and 25 were performing a left turn maneuver at 41S PR 92439 72388 (700
AGL/HDG 280/SPD 120 Arrow 22) and 41S PR 9213 7206 (570 AGL/HDG 230/SPD 107 Arrow 25), a
missile was fired from Arrow 22s seven oclock position (Arrow 25s ten oclock) and passed between
the two aircraft, which were around 700m apart. The projectile was fired from around one
kilometer to the southeast and maintained a constant trajectory. Arrow 22 thought the projectile
maintained the 700ft altitude, while Arrow 25 observed the projectile following an upward
trajectory. Neither crew observed a discernable smoke trail through their NVGs and both crews
described the projectile as continuing in a generally straight line throughout its flight, although the
Arrow 25 pilot later believed the projectile may have corkscrewed. Due to the nature of the turning
maneuver the aircraft were conducting, neither aircrew observed a self-detonation. Arrow 22s crew
described the tail of the projectile as looking like a red glow, but not like the flames of an
afterburner.

At 301728ZMAY07, an AH-64 was engaged by a possible MANPAD at 41S PR 93200 72840 (500
AGL/HDG 100/SPD 100). The pilot believed the engagement was not an RPG.

TF Corsair Comment: This was possibly the second MANPAD engagement against this flight of
Apaches in a 30 minute period. Clearly, the Taliban were attempting to down an Apache after
downing the CH-47. The initial debrief provided few details, if subsequent debriefs support the
pilots assertion, the assessment will change from Minor UI Rocket to Major SAM. This event is
initially assessed as a deliberate Minor SAFIRE (UI Rocket).

At 0245Z, TF Uruzgan reported a motorcycle approaching a coalition force convoy. After disregarding
a stop sign, a warning shot was fired. The individual on the bike had no reaction, so he was shot in
the leg. He was taken to a local national hospital. ISAF Event # 06-048.

At 1630Z, TF Saber reported a squad sized element engaging an Afghan National Army (ANA) OP east
of their location YE20652068. TF Saber fired several rounds of 120mm Illum to help support and
provide positive identification. Illum proved contact to be Green on Green, the Afghan forces broke
contact with eachother and no casualties or damage is reported at this time. ISAF Event # 06-273.

At 1200z Battle 36 called in an escalation of force incident. The platoon was patrolling in the local
bazaar when a red truck approached at speed and did not stop when directed to do so. The platoon
went into their Escalatioin of force protocol and ultimately fired a warning shot - at the same time,
they reported taking PKM fire from vic. XD 789 691. The patrol engaged the vehicle with SAF. PKM
fire ceased and the patrol secured the area with US and ANP. They reported 3x LN KIA and 3x LN
WIA (2 of which they reported as possible enemy combatants and were later determined to be non-
combatants, 1 of whom was reported to have been hit by the truck), and called in a 9-Line
MEDEVAC. ISAF Tracking# 06-316

TF ROCK OPSUM FOLLOWS:

ENEMY SITUATION: Recent Reports indicate ACM using the Kandagal bazaar to as a logistical transfer
point to facilitate resupply of money and weapons south into the Korengal valley; Battle element
was tasked to patrol south of the bazaar to disrupt ACM logistic networking. It was reported to FB

during or after the incident).

Engagement of the 4x4 Red Truck resulted in 3 local nationals KIA; 3 local nationals WIA (One LN
child, 10 years old, with hip and head injury who was standing outside the truck at the time of the
incident and is confirmed he was struck by the truck; do not know before or after the lethal
engagement occurred).

Total of 5 local nationals were in the red truck when it was engaged by Battle element.

MEDEVAC called for 2 urgent local nationals; Noncombatant casualty being evacd by Battle company
to Camp Blessing aid station with family members

Battle 5/7 are on the scene as they were hosting a goat grab thanking the local for assisting with the

Executive Summary from Meeting with Gov Sherzai, (12 0730Z Jun 07):
The following personnel attended the meeting with Gov Sherzai: Lt Col Phillips (PRT CDR), LTC
Milhorn (TF RAPTOR), Danny Hall (DoS), LTC Muhamadullah (Deputy CDR, Unit 03), and Najib (PRT
TERP).

Governor Sherzai began the meeting by describing the event as an unfortunate incident that
occurred between friends and he further emphasized that he does not want to see this happen
again. Though not completely opposed to night operations, he strongly encourages better
coordination.

Lt Col Phillips inquired of any press coverage and the governor indicated that he had pre-taped the
following comments:

Afghan security forces conducted a joint operation with Coalition Forces (CF) to fight the enemy.The
governor cited recent attacks by TB against police checkpoints, adding that many police were still
cautious of any activity in the surrounding areas

The governor described that the joint patrol was misdirected resulting in close contact made with
police from Unit 03. He indicated that Unit 03 reacted by engaging CF first. CF then responded
when attacked, resulting in numerous casualties.

The governor emphasized this incident as a complete misunderstanding, again citing recent TB
activities within the area and the immediate response to a perceived threat by both forces.

Lt Col Phillips acknowledged the Governors concern and reiterated our support to prevent these
types of events from occurring again.

The governor indicated that he had received $2000 from OGA and he, himself, donated an additional
$10,000 to Families/Elders for initial funeral expenses.

The governor reported that his Deputy Governor, Afghan National Police Chief, and several line
directors were already working to prevent any demonstrations. The governor also reported that
MOI and President Karzais office had also been notified. Governor Sherzai advised that CF in Kabul
should host a press conference to prevent negative messages from being used by the insurgents.
When Lt Col Phillips emphasized the need for continued night operations, Governor Sherzai did not
retaliate. The governor acknowledged that many of the tribal elders and mullahs were opposed to
night ops. He only re-emphasized the need for improved coordination and intelligence sharing. If
not done, bad things will continue to happen, he said.

The governor outlined future events to address many of the new concerns:

On Sunday, 17 Jun 07, he will host a Shura at the governors compound inviting 10 tribal elders and
leaders from each of the 22 districts across Nangarhar Province. The governor requested that a
general officer be present from Kabul (originally citing GEN McNeil). Media will also be invited with
no press conference to follow.

Within the next few days, he will host the Families and Soldiers of Unit 03 at the compound for a
funeral service and solatia event in an effort to show how much he cares for his children (the police).

Lt Col Phillips further expressed his concern about the inability of ANSF to conduct night ops on their
own and further concurred with the governors proposal that all operations should be conducted
jointly. The governor responded with agreement and stressed that ANSF should be in the lead with
CF in trail.

After the governor concluded with his comments, I expressed my condolences to LTC Muhamadullah
and the governor and reiterated our emphasis to conduct joint patrols routinely. Additionally, I
expressed my concern for the derogatory remarks made by LTC Safi, the Unit 03 Commander in
Khogyani, and suggested that we meet in the near future. LTC Muhamadullah suggested that we
meet with LTC Safi within the next few days and follow-up with a meeting in Khogyani.

In closing, Governor Sherzai requested that the three trucks destroyed by CF be replaced. He added
that MOI had committed to sending three additional trucks to Unit 03, and at least 30 to the
governor for distribution amongst his 22 sub-governors and special staff. He indicated that he had
given four of his personal vehicles to sub-governors, of which all had been destroyed by IEDs.

13 June 07 Meeting with BG Gul Nabi (Director of Education and Training for MOI) who was doing
the official MOI investigation of the Force 03 incident. Key points from the meeting:
Our sequence of events as discussed last night are the same as he received from Force 03, the ANP,
and the Governor

He stressed that they clearly understand this was an accident, and trust between all involved is still
strong

Appreciated our recommended coordination adjustments to ensure this type of incident does not
occur again

Recommended three events in conjunction with this event: Shura with elders, shura with security
personnel, and solitia payment in small group

NOTE: The following information (TF-373 and HIMARS) is Classified Secret / NOFORN. The
knowledge that TF-373 conducted a HIMARS strike must be kept protected. All other information
below is classified Secret / REL ISAF.

(S) Mission: O/O SOTF conducts kinetic strike followed with HAF raid to kill/capture ABU LAYTH AL
LIBI on NAI 2.

(S)Target: Abu Layth Al Libi is a senior al-Qaida military commander, Libyan Islamic Fighting Group
(LIFG) leader. He is based in Mir Ali, Pakistan and runs training camps throughout North Waziristan.
Collection over the past week indicates a concentration of Arabs IVO objective area.

Result: 6 x EKIA; 7 x NC KIA, 7 x detainees

(S) Summary: HAF departed for Orgun-E to conduct link-up and posture to the objective immediately
after pre-assault fires. On order, 5 rockets were launched and destroyed structures on the objective
(NAI 2). The HAF quickly inserted the assault force into the HLZ. ISR reported multiple UIMs leaving
the objective area. The assault force quickly conducted dismounted movement to the target area
and established containment on the south side of the objective. During the initial assault, dedicated
air assets engaged multiple MAMs squirting off the objective area. GFC assessed 3 x EKIA squirters
north and 3 x EKIA squirters south of the compound were neutralized from air asset fires. The
assault force quickly maneuvered with a SQD element on the remaining squirters. The squirter
element detained 12 x MAMs and returned to the objective area. GFC passed initial assessment of 7
x NC KIA (children). During initial questioning, it was assessed that the children were not allowed
out of the building, due to UIMs presence within the compound. The assault force was able to
uncover 1 x NC child from the rubble. The MED TM immediately cleared debris form the mouth and
performed CPR to revive the child for 20 minutes. Due to time restrictions, TF CDR launched QRF
element to action a follow-on target (NAI 5). They quickly contained the objective and initiated the
assault. The objective was secured and the assault force initially detained 6 x MAMs. The GFC
recommended that 7 MAMs be detained for additional questioning. The TF CDR assessed that the
assault force will continue SSE. The local governor was notified of the current situation and requests
for assistance were made to cordon the AO with support from ANP and local coalition forces in
search of HVI. A PRT is enroute to AO.

SVBIED THREAT WARNING

Organization(s) Involved: AL QAIDA,FOREIGN FIGHTERS

02 JUL 2007, RCC HQ INTSUM 183-07, NATO/ISAF SECRET

SVBIED THREAT WARNING

According to MoD G2, 3 suicide terrorist from Al-Qaida equipped with explosive vests, received
instructions to entered Kabul on 29 Jun 07. Two of them are assigned to conduct suicide attacks
against a staff buses of ANA and police forces (probably at main gates) and third one will commit
suicide attacks against coalition forces in area of Pol-e-Charkhi. Suicide attackers are between 14
and 15 years old. They are working under the guidance of IZMARAI brother of QARI BARIAL. END

G2 COMMENT: IZMARAI (or EZMARAI) would be one of the TB chiefs in TAGAB valley. He would be
reported, as well, as QARI BARIAL's brother, a famous TB commander In TAGAB. It would not be
surprising that QARI BARIAL would be one of the masterminds of these suicide attacks.

In the RCC LNO report dated 30 June 07, a quite similar threat warning was issued. According to NDS,
three suicide attackers aged 14 to 15 years old under the command of ABU SULAIMAN (ARAB) would
have entered BADR ABAD area of TAGAB district of KAPISA. One of them would have been ordered
to conduct a suicide attack against the governor of KAPISA and the other two have entered KABUL
city area to attack ANSF/ISAF units.

The 'SULAIMAN' mentioned could be the Maulawi SULAYMAN reported in a HUMINT summary
dated 05 May 07. He would have been involved in a threat warning regarding an SVBIED attack. The
report was mentioning that Qari BARIAL would have given a Toyota Corolla to Maulawi SULAYMAN
who would have loaded the vehicle with explosives. He would have given instructions to suicide
attackers assigned to conduct the attack in PD-15 or PD-9.

Maulawi SULAYMAN would be an active insurgent in TAGAB district.

The two reports can be compared; the main difference would be the name of the INS involved
IZMARAI vs SULAIMAN. Nevertheless the common denominator would be QARI BARIAL. It is also
known that TB and AQ would act in concert when they have common interests. Thus it would not be
surprising that AQ would provide volunteers for suicide attacks. END

G2 ASSESSMENT: Reading the different reports we could assume that there would be a suicide
bombers network organized in TAGAB valley under the command of QARI BARIAL. Since a few
months, his name has been cited a lot of times in various intelligence reports as being involved in the
planning and organization of suicide attacks in Kabul area. TAGAB would be a place of haven for TB;
a staging area where they can quietly set up attacks against CF and GoA.
The target chosen in this attack would seem to match Mullah OMAR requirements. Indeed on 25
May 07, supreme Taliban leader Mullah OMAR reportedly issued a letter outlining tactics and
strategies for the conduct of war in AFGHANISTAN promoting more asymmetrical attacks in IRoA.
The letter directed Taliban commanders to coordinate attacks on Afghan National Police (ANP)
checkpoints, assassinate high-ranking government officials, and increase their use of remote-
controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs), pressure-plate IEDs and suicide bombings. Moreover
it was recently reported that representatives from Al-Qaida, the Taliban and other insurgent groups
allegedly met in the NORTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY of PAKISTAN, where they received guidances -
purportedly from Osama Bin LADEN - to execute twice as many suicide bombings (CJ2 update 087
dated 28 June 07).

This threat warning should be considered carefully as it would seem to corroborate the information
gathered previously. The attack carried out in KABUL on 17 June 07 regarding a suicide bomber that
detonated himself inside a KABUL City Police bus carrying police instructors was the deadliest since
2001. If this happens again the impact could be huge in Afghanistan and abroad. That is what the INS
would seem to look for.

However the 'detail that could not work in TB's favor could be the age of the suicide bombers that
are still children. Usually they are reported aged at least 17 (more considered as young adults even if
they are still youngsters). END

At 0810Z TF Kandahar reported a warning shot fired at motorcycle approaching the convoy, vehicle
stopped, 1 LN WIA and turned over to ANP. Event closed at 0830Z. After reports of additional LNs
being wounded, JPCC RC(S) investigation revealed that there were 8 Escalation of Force
engagements during this single convoy and that there were an additional 4 LN WIA and 1 LN KIA. On
3 July, TF Kandahar reported that one of the LN died of wounds in the hospital. Final BDA: 2 LN KIA,
5 LN WIA, ISAF tracking # 07-036

03 0220Z Jul 07 an element from the 2Fury Forward Support Company was heading south on RTE
FLORIDA from FOB GHZ to 4 Corners when they were involved in a vehicle accident with a local
national on motorcycle at VC 4805 0984. Vehicles had pulled over on both sides of the road to let
the CLP pass. The motorcycle pulled out from behind vehicles in the on coming traffic side and was
driving towards the CLP less than 100m away. The TC of the lead vehicle used the EOF kit, to include
siren and flashing lights. The gunner at the same time went through the EOF battle drill and
attempted to wave the motorcyclist off to the side, switched to his M4, aimed at the area in front of
the motorcyclist, and fired warning shots in front of him. The motorcyclist continued movement
directly towards the convoy until the warning shots were fired. At that time the LN lost control of
the motorcycle. The lead vehicle was slowing down preparing to stop when the LN impacted the
lead UAH. The 2Fury medics began to assess him and provide aid. The local national had internal
bleeding and a head injury. They were attempting to stabilize for movement back to FOB GHZ Aid
Station. At 0235 the Forward Support Co reported the LN dead on scene. CLP returned to FOB GHZ
at 0304Z, BN Surgeon coordinating w/ GHZ City Hospital to take control of the body and notify NOK.
2Fury is currently working IO themes with the PRT. AARs were conducted to refine convoy standards
and SOPs. The father and uncle of the deceased arrived at FOB GHZ to identify the remains of the
motocyclist. Out of ten photos provided by THT the uncle was able to pick out the correct photo of
the LN. The company commander meet with the uncle on the FOB, the father was too upset to come
on the FOB at the time. Arrangements have been made to pay solatia at a later date. At the request
of the family and GHZ City Hospital, the remains were brought to the hospital by the Foward Support
Company. They also returned to the area where the accident took place with THT to engage the
locals.

PRT DAILY REPORT

Last 24:

Summary of Activities: Unit: PRT SHARANA DTG: 2007-07-29

Commanders Summary: (S//REL) One of our CA teams is preparing for a mission next week to
OMNA and CHARBORAN. The PRT vehicle situation is eleven of sixteen UAH FMC. Our LMTV is still
NMC. Two vehicles have critical parts on order. We have four of four MK19s and four of four M2s
FMC.

Political: (S//REL) Our DOS Rep met with the Paktika Director of Tribal Affairs, Mirajudin Miraj. On
the current problems with the tribes, he said that Terwa and Waza Khwa (where Miraj is from) were
better in terms of tribal relations, but tribal problems get worse closer to Sharana. The most
problematic is the Alikhel tribe, a sub-tribe of Sulaimankhel, which is close to Sharana. Miraj said
that not a single member of the Alikhel tribe is in the ANA or the ANAP, and they will not work with
the GOA.

When asked about his strategy for bringing the tribes together, Miraj said that there is a need to
improve the economic situation of the tribes. However, he was not able to articulate anything more
specific, and said he cannot do anything to help, because he doesnt have funding to hold shuras
(food, transportation costs, etc.) DOS Rep asked why people would not attend shuras on their own,
without receiving payment, when they had been doing this for many years. Miraj said there are
three reasons for this: (1) the people have no education, so they are not able to reason when
someone tells them to kill someone or plant an IED for money, and they are not able to see that they
can make their own lives better by bringing the tribes together; (2) they have no patriotism for
Afghanistan; and (3) after 30 years of war, they have a culture of expecting things to be provided to
them. He said that in order to give people back their civic/tribal/Afghan pride, we must have three
things: (1) education; (2) deal with Pakistan, which does not want Afghanistan to succeed; and (3)
provide economic opportunities, because currently people will do anything for money, even if it
means killing CF or ANSF.

Miraj confided in DOS Rep that Abdul Hai, who was just appointed as the sub-governor of Waza
Khwa, was previously the sub-governor in War Mamey. While there, he was known to have
associations with the Taliban, even giving them weapons from the district center. He then went to
Pakistan to work with the Taliban for 6 months, but was unable to be fully accepted by them,
because he only agreed to kill Coalition Forces, not Afghan forces. Now he has returned as the sub-
governor of Waza Khwa. Miraj said the Governor is fully aware of Hais past associations with the
Taliban. Miraj also expressed concern about Abdul Shokur, saying that he has purposefully done
things to get police killed while they were working for him.

Miraj closed by saying that the Coalition must do its best, because many people think that the CF are
working with the Taliban. When asked how people could think this, he said that there was no way
the CF could NOT find the Taliban and defeat them if the CF were really trying, as the CF has superior
technology. DOS Rep explained that sometimes superior technology could not be fully applied
against the enemy, because the Taliban is aware of the CFs desire to not kill civilians and accordingly
hides in villages among the civilians so that they will not be bombed. However, Miraj was convinced
that the CF were not trying their best.

The DOS reps assessment is that Miraj did not appear particularly effective, because he was mostly
concerned with himself, and had a defeatist attitude about his ability to do his job. He began the
meeting by saying that the PRT always wants things from him (i.e. visits) but never does anything for
him. He said he needed a nicer office with chairs and carpets and asked why the PRT did not provide
these things. The DOS Rep explained to him that the mission of the PRT is to build things that will
have a lasting effect for all the people of the province, not things that will benefit one person
individually. He complained that he could not do his job, because he does not have a nice office in
which to entertain visitors, and he does not have an operating budget to hold shuras. The DOS Rep
asked if he had asked for funding from his Ministry, and he replied that he had not. For every idea
that DOS Rep pitched to him, he had a reason why the idea would not work---lack of education,
Pakistan, security, lack of desire, etc. He seemed resigned to the idea that the tribes in Paktika no
longer work, and will not work in the future, and he seemed disinclined to work to fix that.

PAKTIKA GOVERNOR Location next 24hrs and districts visited this week - Governor Khpalwak is
currently in Sharana. He visited the following districts this past week: SHARAN and MATA KHAN.

Infrastructure: (S//REL) PRT engineers signed a new contract for a DCN in SHAKHILBAD; they
conducted weekly progress meeting for our 10-room school in SAR HOWZA; they rescheduled the
ground-breaking ceremony for the SHARANA Justice Center for this Tuesday following the PDC

basic health clinics in SHAKHILBAD and WOR MAMAY. PRT AED elements conducted site visit to
QA/QC the SHARANA road paving projects. Bid packages will be released tomorrow morning and
bids are due back 04 Aug at 1200.

Information: (U//REL) Today the PRT received a pallet of PSYOP products from TF Fury. The products
included posters, handbills, and novelty school supplies (pencils, erasers, and calendars). The PRT IO
developed a story on the Ground breaking ceremony for a 5-room school in the village of Gul Laden,
Sar Hawza.

During a recent mission to Gul Laden, Sar Hawza, by CPT Pierce, Civil Affairs Team Leader PRT
Sharana, noticed that the children of Gul Laden were attending school under the surrounding trees.
Upon talking with the village elders of Gul Laden, he determined the need for a school in Gul Laden.
The village elders told him they have the teachers but not the facilities to properly teach the
children. CPT Pierce obtained funding for the school using Commanders Emergency Reconstruction
Program funds.

On 26 July, the village of Gul Laden, Sar Hawza held a ground breaking ceremony for a 5 Room
School. Gul Laden village is located at the foot hills of the Sar Hawza Ghar Mountains and is very
difficult to get to. Due to the remoteness of the region the people have become very self sufficient.
To exemplify this fact, the ceremony was setup without any help from the Government of Paktika or
Coalit

At 0559Z TF Uruzgan reported a white minibus stopped at a coalition forces stop signwhen a second
vehicle overtook the vehicle that stopped 2km south of PB Poentjak.Friendly forces fired through the
windshield and the vehicle stopped.Coaliton forces moved on but were later notified that there was
1 LN KIA. Closed at 1243Z LN was confirmed killed. ISAF Tracking# 012

At 1243Z TF Uruzgan reported 2 Local Nationals on a motorbike approaching a searching unit from
the east from the village ANA JOI. They neglected a stop sign and warning shots . 1 Local National
KIA, and second local national got away. At 1359Z public order situation has now been de-escalated.
Body of local national has been handed over to family. Interpreter has left the coalition forces and

At 1940Z TF Phoenix reported on route to Camp Dogan where coalition forces are stationed a US
patrol from Camp Phoenix fired at a civilian vehicle carrying coalition personel. NO injuries but
damage to civilian vehicle. Dismounted US patrol was not in cooridination with
CF''s.Event Closed. ISAF Tracking #08-099

At 1430Z TF Helmand reported apolice mentoring team was on a mobile patrol, 4.1 km NE of FOB
Price. During the patrol a tanker approached the friendly forces vehicle. The tanker did not heed
warnings(mini flares). A warning shot was fired to the side of the vehicle, the vehicle stopped and
obeyed commands. Patrol continued on task and returned to JPCC IN GSK. 1520Z reported by ANSF
that 1x LN had been injured with gun shot wound. Event closed at 1712Z.

Event Number 08-179

A Portuguese Convoy traveling thru Kabul fired warning shots at a civilian vehicle. The vehicle had
failed to heed several non Lethal warnings. The driver and a LN bystander were wounded. ISAF
tracking number 08-385

At 0830Z TF Kandahar reported that 13.9KM northeast of PB Wilson in the Panjwayi District of
Kandahar province, element gave 2 warning shots at 0835Z 1 local national was injured and became
VSA during transport to PB Wilson. He was offically declared VSA at 0910Z at PB Wilson. His family
went to PB Wilson and the body was given to his family at 0926Z. This casualty connected to MM(S)
08-16B. TIC closed at 1053Z. ISAF tracking number 08-401.

These are the facts as I know them. All of this is subject to change.

The morning of the incident, around 1030L, the RCP hit an IED near the village. A patrol from C Coy
responded and hit asecond IED. They identified 4x ACM responsible for the IEDs andcaptured two
and thetwo others escaped.Theycollected a lot of SIGINTindicating that the individuals were still
around. They were searching for the remaining individuals when around 1600L, 4x ACM were seen
moving vicinity of the village. It is not clear if they were hiding in the village or just passing through.
There was only one section of two vehicles involved in the TIC. They fired their 12.7mm MG at the
individuals, but the weapon jammed. The ACM then returned fire. They then emplaced their
mortars. They fired a total of 26 rounds according to one report. They fired over and then short and
then three rounds impacted within a compound. One impacted on the roof of the house, one
impacted in the court yard, and the last went through the roof and detonated within the house.
There was a wedding celebration going on in the house, which explains the high number of
casualties. As soon as the PBG soldiers saw where the rounds impacted, they moved immediately to
the compound to provide assistance. The 4x ACM escaped.

This information is still to sketchy to assess a cause for the inaccurate rounds.

Current Casualty list:6x KIA (1x male, 4 female, one baby)

3x WIA (all female, one of which was 9 months pregnant)

All of the casualties were from the Jalal Zaid Tribe, but not all were from the village, because some
were from out of town for the wedding. This will spread the negative effect to a larger area then
itwould of otherwise. Today, there were 120 locals rioting at the gate ofFOB Waza Khwa protesting
the deaths.

I am not able to talk to the individual soldiersdirectly, because the formal investigation has to be
conducted by their Prosecutor. His name is LTC Dariusz Raczkiewicz. He is currently in Ghazni and
will be here ina day or two. The individuals conducting their informal investigation are a MP
investigator, WO Humeniuk Karol and aCounter Intelligence guy named LTC Radoslaw Jagiello. They
are also not allowed to question the soldiers that were involved. Their inability to question the
soldiers is causing much of the faulty reporting.

Tomorrow at 0830L, there will be a Shura at the Waza Khwa DC. I will attend it with the C Coy
Commander, the Charlie 2/508 Commander,and the two guys conducting the informal investigation.
At 1100L a flight will take a contingent from the families of the injured females to OE.

BACKGROUND

(U) On 22 Aug 2007 the UK Mirror published an article stating that some families of British soldiers
deployed in Afghanistan had received "hate calls" from Taleban believed based in Pakistan. The
report claims senior commanders believe the Taleban get the phone numbers by monitoring troops'
mobile phone calls or from staff at Afghan phone companies. One of the newspaper's unnamed
sources states that the use of mobile phones is "a huge security problem" and adds that "any
numbers going to England can be called, or used to get addresses to send poison-pen letters to
relatives". Numerous assessments on this topic have been conducted by different agencies (see
References above) and this paper will extract the relevant details from each.

ROSHAN GSM NETWORK

(NU) Roshan is the brand name for the Kabul based GSM service provider. It was launched by
Telecom Development Company Afghanistan (TDCA) Ltd. TCDA is owned by an international
consortium formed by Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development, Monaco Telecom International,
US based MCT Corporation and Alcatel SA.

(NSI) The Roshan Network is the largest provider of GSM services in Afghanistan. Its service area
covers most of Afghanistan and also covers most of the major border crossing areas with Pakistan,
Iran and Uzbekistan. Even when using a European or North American GSM provider (phone brought
from home), the call is routed through the Roshan GSM infrastructure in Afghanistan. Every GSM
provider in the world has the ability to locate and track a GSM phone as soon as it is turned on. This
means that the Roshan network is able to identify which phones have been turned on in the ISAF HQ
area and can further track their movements. Key leaders and VIPs should observe the
recommendations set out at Ref F to avoid there locations and movements being tracked.

(NSI) Reportedly Russian SIGINT units assisted Roshan to expand its cellular service to provinces all
over Afghanistan. During this time, Russian SIGINT units were monitoring ISAF and Coalition
communications via the Roshan network.

INSURGENT EXPLOITATION OF ROSHAN

(NSI) At this time its doubtful insurgents have the technical ability eavesdrop on conversations and
numbers dialled from Roshan GSM. The insurgents do, however, have the ability to obtain data from
sympathetic or coerced human sources inside the Roshan network (who obviously track calls) or
from sympathetic foreign intelligence service personnel. In mid-November 2006, Taleban militants in
Zharey District of Kandahar provided safe passage to Roshan equipment and personnel through their
area to Sangin and Musa Qala districts of Helmand. Other reports indicate Roshan engineers were
maintaining the network components under the observation of the Taleban. This offer of safe
passage shows coordination at some level between Taleban elements and Roshan workers.

FOREIGN EXPLOITATION OF ROSHAN

(NSI) Reporting from February 2007 indicates Pakistani intelligence service (ISI) is currently collecting
and databasing all Roshan calls and numbers from Afghanistan. Reportedly, when a Roshan user
places a call to any number - either inside or outside Afghanistan - the call is re-routed through
Pakistan. Normally a "call diverted" message alerts callers that this is occurring but commercially
available tracking and listening equipment suppresses the alert, making it impossible for the user to
detect diversion. Elements of the ISI and insurgents have cooperated in the past and it is possible
that intercepted cell photo data can be passed to insurgents on a regular basis.

There is evidence some foreign embassies and consulates located in Afghanistan are capable of
sophisticated signals interception to include the least protected mobile phones. Embassies with
known SIGINT capabilities currently targeting ISAF include Russia, China, Pakistan, India and Iran. Of
these embassies, the Pakistani embassy is 700m from ISAF HQ and Iran's consulate is 1200m away.

ASSESSMENT

Roshan network is used extensively by ISAF members to call their friends and families in their native
countries. Even if ISAF members are using phone and SIM cards brought from home, their numbers
and the numbers they have dialled can be tracked and databased. Based on this information, both
ISAF members and their families can be identified. Insurgents do not need sophisticated signals
intercept equipment to obtain this information; persons with access to the information will provide
it either willingly or through coercion. Harassment of ISAF member's families is cause for concern.
The immediate threat, however, is to those VIPs who routinely use cell phones. While these
personnel are aware and likely careful not to pass classified information, their identity and location
alone may provide enough valuable information.

circling an objective when they were engaged by an unidentified rocket. The crew observed a fast
moving projectile with a smoke trail at their 7 oclock position, traveling at a 030 straight flight
profile. The projectile was at 13700ft AGL when the crew observed an orange motor burn. The
projectile passed between Recoil 47 and its wingman, moving to their 1 oclock. The projectile was at
21700ft AGL when the smoke trail ended and no detonation was seen. The projectiles smoke trail
was significant and did not fully dissipate for 3 minutes. No countermeasures were taken.

TF Pegasus Comment: The signature reported by the crew does not match any known weapon in
Afghanistan. Every MANPAD and known rockets burn out at half the height reported by the crew.

24 Aug 07)
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Eric Edelman and Counselor of the State Department Elliot
Cohen discussed Afghanistan and Pakistan August 13 with FCO South Asia and Afghanistan Director
Adam Thomson. Thomson thought Pakistan''s President Musharraf had only
a few weeks to resolve the political situation or lose his hold on power by the end of the year. On
Afghanistan, both sides agreed on the need for a much more unified effort focused on counter-
insurgency, with all other considerations integrated into it. On counter-narcotics, the Under
Secretary raised the possibility of embedding DEA agents with British forces; Thomson argued for
interdiction as the priority, while affirming the importance of eradication. He urged the USG to stay
engaged with Europeans on support to the Afghan National Police. The two sides agreed on the
importance of a strong international coordinator, though no candidate yet stood out. The UK is
undertaking a thorough re-think on Afghanistan, and the Foreign Secretary intends to give Secretary
of State Rice a short paper in September.

INCIDENT SUMMARY:

Last night approx. 1745L, an ANP driving a Ranger smacked an ANA with the door in the bizaar. The
ANA was armed but not in uniform. The ANP driver was not in a uniform either. The ANP and ANA
argued, and the ANA shot 3 civilians. All are recovering in the hospital in Mehtar Lam 1km outside
the FOB. The ANA also shot the ANP Ranger. At least 7 bullet holes were confimed. The ANA
confiscated the Ranger and the weapons of the ANP (3 AK-47s and one pistol). The OIC of the ANP
involved was a MAJ Abdula. He is the OIC of the checkoints in Mehtar Lam and works at the big
checkpoint just over the bridge on the way to JAF. The ANP claim they fired no shots and gave up
their weapons when the ANA demanded them. The CoP was in a meeting when we arrived at the
PHQ and I interviewed the driver. The CoP left the meeting, met with me for 20-30 minutes, and
then left again. He confirmed the report we received. The CoP stated he called NDS and the deputy
Governor last night IOT get his Ranger and weapons returned and all items are now accounted for.
MOI and MOD were at the PHQ this morning investigating, according to the CoP.4. DETAILED
REPORTING:

ALTERCATION BETWEEN ANA AND ANP LEAVES 3X LN WOUNDED

(S//REL TO USA, AFG, GCTF, ISAF, NATO//FOR DISPLAY ONLY TO AFG) At approximately
201215ZSEP07 an ANP officer in civilian clothes struck an ANA officer, also in civilian clothes, with
the door of his vehicle at the Mehtar Lam bazaar. Other ANA officers arrived and pulled the ANP
officer out of his truck. An altercation ensued which escalated into shooting. ANP claims they did
not fire any shots. According to Gen. Omaryar, Laghman ANP Chief, the ANA shot three civilians who
are now recovering in the Mehtar Lam hospital. 1x LN received a GSW to the stomach, 1x LN
received a GSW to the neck, and 1x LN received a GSW to the leg. There are 7-8 bullet holes in the
ANP officers truck. The ANA confiscated the ANP officers weapon at the time of the fight, but the
weapon was released in the morning at the prompting of Gen. Omaryar. MOI is in Mehtar Lam
investigating. DOI: 20070920; Source: PCC

(S) Analyst Comment: This will damage the populaces view of the IRoA in Mehtar Lam and
significantly aid the insurgency. The IRoA should act immediately to condemn the injury to innocent
civilians. Tempers were likely high due to Ramadan fasting. It remains unclear who initiated the
attack and why.

At 0334Z TF Helmand reported 2X suspected SVBIEDs drove at Boron 30A checkpoint at 41R PR 619
254, 5.2km southeast of FOB Sandford, Nahri Sarraj district in Helmand province. Escalation of force
was used, shots were fired and mini flares were fired. The motor bike was speeding towards CP.
Friendly forces fired warning shots. The motorbike stopped short, refused to get off the bike and
then continued to drive straight at the CP again. At 0402Z TF Helmand requested a MEDEVAC for 2X
local nationals, possibly insurgents in connection to this incident. At 0406Z TF Helmand began the
search and cordon around the motorcycle. Incident closed at 0513Z. ISAF tracking # 10-037

At 0850Z RC Capital reported that a UK coy fired a warning shot and injured a non combatant on RTE
Bottle. The UK coy sent a QRF and MTT to bring the casualty to Camp Warehouse. This occured in
the vicinity of Camp Phoenix in the Kabul district of Kabul province. RC Capital med is aware of the
situation. The non combatant was wounded with 2 or 3 bullets. An investigation is pending as to the
events that led up to the UK Coy shooting the non combatant. Event closed at 1246Z. ISAF tracking
#10-119.

On the evening of 04 October 2007 TF 373 conducted an Air Assault insertion to assault OBJ Wolf VA
34592 80075. After breaching the objective, the clearing element received effective small arms fire
and fragmentation grenades from inside the target building. 5x US soldiers were wounded initially.
The ground forces then began to fire into the entrances of the compound and in the ensuing firefight
7x more US soldiers received minor shrapnel wounds. The element pulled off of the objective with
the wounded leaving an M-4 inside the compound. The M-4 was in the engagement zone and
ground forces were unable to reach it. After the building was evacuated the ground commander
simultaneously began setting up an HLZ for CASEVAC of the wounded and also initiated AC-130 fires
on the target compound. Once CASEVAC was completed 2x A-10s initiated fires on the compound
dropping 2x GBU 12s (500lbs). Following the bomb impacts secondary explosions and a fire were
observed and were believed to have been caused by a buried munitions cache. TF 373 exfilled at
2246z and called QRF, C/2-508 (attached to TF White Eagle), to conduct SSE of the site. The building
was completely destroyed.

US, PBG and ANSF forces had all arrived on scene by 050230ZOCT07 and had begun SSE of the
objective and a search in the village shortly thereafter. The objective had been cleaned up and items
hidden in what appeared to be an attempt to cover up the contact. A motorcycle, exploded RPG
rounds and machine gun links had been hidden underneath a blanket. The owner of the bike is not
known. Additionally the M-4 with a PEQ-2A and an ACOG were found deliberately hidden
underneath some brush along with a kit bag left by TF 373. The kit bag contained some papers from
the objective and a poncho liner. Both the M-4 and kit bag have been turned over to TF 373. The
site also contained more exploded RPG rounds, small arms casings, 2x AK-47 magazines (empty)
several Pakistani ID cards and various other documents. During the search 4x males of military age
believed to have knowledge about the contact were detained and have been transferred to the ANA
Compound on FOB Waza Kwah for further questions from THT 45 and the NDS.

6x KIA were found inside the compound. 1x adult female, 1x female child and 4x male adults, one of
which was bound by zip cuffs. Pictures of the compound and deceased have been taken and the
finger printing of all deceased males has been conducted. The bound man has been identified as the
owner of the compound and it is believed that he was a prisoner/hostage of the ACM.
3x wounded LNs (1x 10 year old boy, 2x teenage girls) were brought to CF during the SSE and were
CASEVACd to FOB Waza Kwah when 2Fury elements RTB. One of the teenaged girls was MEDEVACd
to FOB Salerno for treatment. The other 2x wounded were released from FOB Waza Kwah at
approximately 1230z.

The 12 US WIA are all in stable condition. 6x personnel are at BAF, 3 of which are RTD, while the
other 6x personnel are at Orgun-E with the FST and the 373 surgeon still undergoing treatment.

BDA is as follows:

12x US WIA (3 RTD BAF, 3 at CSH in BAF, 6 at Orgun-E receiving treatment.)

3x LN WIA (2x released, 1x at FOB Salerno receiving treatment.)

1x LN Female Child KIA.

1x LN Adult Female KIA

4x LN Adult Male KIA (1x believed to be prisoner/hostage.)

1x Donkey killed.

1x Dog killed.

Several Chickens killed.

1x Munitions Cache Destroyed.

Several RPGs destroyed.

1x Compound destroyed.

1x M-4 w/ PEQ-2A and ACOG recovered.

1x Motorcycle damaged.

Summary of Activities: Unit: PRT SHARANA DTG: 2007-10-06

Commanders Summary: (S//REL) CAT-A Team B traveled to Sarobi to conduct QA/QC and leader
engagements. They are on day 2 of a 5 day mission to assess the Eastern Paktika districts. The PRT
vehicle situation is eleven of seventeen UAH FMC. Our one LMTV is NMC for a faulty front drive
shaft. However, the parts are on order. We have four of four MK19s and four of four M2s FMC.

Political: (S//REL) The PRT CO, PRT CA Officer along with PBG CA Officer and DCO escorted the
Provincial Chief of Police, Gen Mulakhel, NDS 5 Deputy, Nabile, and the Provincial Director of Tribal
Affairs (native of the region) to the village of Laswanday in the Gwashta region of Waza Kwah, 36
hours following a TF 373 operation on Objective Wolf (42 SVA 34591 80079) which resulted in the
death of 1 child, 1 woman, 5 males and the wounding of 3 others (1 small boy, 2 teenage girls of
which one was medevacd earlier).

Initial reception was uneventful. About 12 adult males were waiting in the area of the target
compound. The group took a tour of the damaged compound while another villager was sent to
gather the rest of the villagers from the area. Villagers present indicated that all persons killed or
injured in the attack were from the same family. [Leads to further question as to why one individual,
the owners son, was found in the rubble with his hands tied behind his back.]

The village males gathered outside the compound where Gen Miakhel addressed them. There
were about 100 in attendance. This is significant in that there were more in attendance today than
when we addressed basically the same group at the Gwashta bazaar (1 km down the valley) after an
A-10 attack on an IED maker two months ago. In addition, this was a large attendance for an event
during Ramadan. Possible explanation is that the villagers indicated they expected the Governor
when they saw the helicopters approach. The group was well behaved and polite as they greeted us
with no hostility toward government officials, US or PBG forces.

The villagers listened intently as ANP6 gave an impressive, engaging speech. Key points included
the importance of education, how ACM elements prevent Afghans from attending school while they
send their kids to school, how Taliban mullahs misinterpret the Quran for there benefit, Taliban
hypocrisy in burning madrassas now when during the mujahadeen battle with the Soviets they didnt
burn madrassas, and during the war with the Soviets how the Americans were widely considered
Afghanistans friends but now they call them enemies of the Afghans. Gen Mulakhel urged the tribe
to band together and resist Taliban aggression so that they wont end up like the family in the
compound.

General Mulakhel was very well received and talked for the better part of a half hour. An eloquent
and very effective public speaker, he hit all the important points in addressing this incident repeating
many times how the CF are here to help and are helping the people of Afghanistan despite what lies
the Taliban may tell them.

NDS 5 addressed the group for a short while and distributed Neighborhood watch handbills with
numbers to call to report insurgent activity (may not have much of an effect as there is little cell
phone coverage in the area and literacy rates are low in the area).

Mulawi Sha Mamoud from Waza Kwah addressed the group. He is highly respected throughout
the area and his speech stressed that the fault of the deaths of the innocent lies on the villagers who
did not resist the insurgents and their anti-government activities. He stressed if the villagers told
government officials about enemy presence in the area, government officials would come in and
separate them from the enemy. He did ask the PRT Commander (in front of the group) to make sure
they had reliable information before conducting these types of operations.

PRT Commander addressed the group and stressed the fact that Coalition Forces approached the
Compound on foot and did not fire until they received fire and took casualties (i.e. the CF were
extremely careful to avoid injuring innocent civilians even to the point of putting themselves at great
risk).

The District Commissioner, Abdul Hai addressed the group and stressed that he was attacked just
last week while in the area and lost three of his soldiers. He chastised a villager who condemned the
compound shooting while telling him his soldiers and other government soldiers have no choice but
to fire back when attacked. After his impassioned speech about the attack on his convoy, there was
little response nor protest.

The PRT CA Officer gathered contact information on the sole remaining brother who lived in an
adjacent compound. There were two surviving young males (13-16 years old) from the attack, who
were not present, but solatia payments for the loss of the children and female will be arranged
through the District Commissioner.

The Director of Tribal Affairs stayed behind after the event to discuss items with the locals and
return to his home for a visit.

CO Comment:

There was a notable change in the attitude of the group between the last time officials addressed
the group two months ago and todays event. Last time there were more protests that they were
helpless against Taliban insurgents who come in with weapons and take food and money from the
villagers. There was little or no protest today, instead, all in attendance listened intently to the
officials speaking. These people live dirt poor even by Afghan standards. Im not why there was so
little emotion from the villagers at this event. There was significantly more emotion in the village of
Nanger Khel, 10 km to the northeast, after 7 women and children were killed by PBG mortars. Being
that Laswanday has been the scene of frequent insurgent activity, it may indicate that the locals,
while not supportive of this activity, were at least cognizant of these activities and believed it was
only a matter of time before this group/family got attacked by Government forces.

EXTREMISTS PLAN ATTACKS WITH PK ISI

Organization(s) Involved: FOREIGN FIGHTERS

19 DEC 2007, SEWOC SUMMARY, NATO SECRET REL ISAF

191940Z DEC 07

(NS REL ISAF) Extremists reportedly collaborate with Pakistani Intelligence Agent to plan suicide
attacks in KABUL, KHOST, Afghanistan, mid-December 2007

Extremist leaders in Pakistan, in coordination with a Pakistani intelligence agent, allegedly planned
to send three children to conduct suicide attacks in the Afghan cities of KABUL and KHOST on or
shortly after the Eid ul-Adha holiday on 20 December 2007

On 230903ZDEC07 it was reported that the Afghan National Directorate Service (NDS) had captured
a suicide bomber at the Shiva bus station in Kuz Konar District. The detainee is a female who was
wearing a burkha with the vest underneath. The detainee was most likely acting as a transportation
means for the suicide vest, as the batteries for the vest were not installed in the vest but were
carried in a separate pouch. The vest was laden with C4, however did not have any ball bearing or
any other shrapnel, again lending to the assessment that the detainee was only transporting the
vest.

(S) TF Bayonet Comment: This suicide vest can likely be associated with TB facilitator Noor Mohamad
who was reported to have facilitated the travel of 2 suicide bombers from PAK into Nangarhar and
later into Jalalabad. The suicide bombers are planning to attack the Jalalabad Airfield. In addition an
unidentified individual has been reportedly to be traveling along with the suicide bombers. The
individual is reported to be bringing additional funds as well as explosives for the TB within the
region. Noor Alam was allegedly responsible to receive the explosives which consisted of suicide
vests that resembled ANA vests. In mid-October reporting indicates that the vests were brought into
Noor Alams house by Nazo, Nazos wife, and Aziz. Noor Alam was waiting for the arrival of the suicide
bombers in order to transport the suicide vests into Jalalabad in preparation for the possible attack.
Past reporting supports that insurgents use females to transport explosives because ABP soldiers
avoid searching females. Noor Alam is identified to be from the Shewa area, located in Kuz Konar.
This suicide vest was recovered in Kuz Kunar District and then brought to the NDS in Jalalabad city.

TF Paladin arrived at the scene at 1445Z, and upon questioning of NDS personnel learned that a NDS
source reported a woman was wearing a possible suicide vest. AT 1200Z, an elderly woman 50 to 60
years of age was apprehended by Jalalabad NDS officers, at the Kuz Kuner Bus Station. The woman
was on foot and wearing traditional clothing. After apprehension the woman was searched and was
found to be wearing a suicide vest, after questioning it was reported that the elderly woman name
was (Hasan Tari). During questioning of the suspect she stated that she was only transporting the
vest to its intended user in Jalalabad, whose name she did not give. The NDA took possession of the
vest and notified EOD

Upon arrival of the site EOD rendered the device safe. It appeared that while wearing the vest the
suspect did not have a power source connected to the vest. The batteries were in a separate case in
her pocket making the vest safe for transport. EOD took control of the explosives and trigger device.
The vest was given to the NDS Officer (Hay Dar) for evidence in the prosecution of the suspect. NDS
personnel also took video and pictures of explosives and components of the vest. NFTR. Mission

(S//REL TO USA, ISAF, NATO) TB To Conduct Kidnappings A group of 15 to 20 TB members led by

Qari ((Naqibullah)) plan to kidnap members of the UN traveling between Kabul
(42SWD1682719461), Kabul District, through Jalalabad (42SQA5694572638), Jalalabad District to the
Torkam Gate Pass (42SXC9304477715) of Nangarhar Province. The group led by Naqibullah is
working with the coordination of retired Pakistani General Hamid ((Gul)). This group is targeting un
vehicles marked with black lettering, which Naqibullah believes is an indicator that the vehicle is
carrying high level UN officials or members of the UN intelligence service. The TB led by Naqibullah
will only target UN vehicles with black lettering. The TB group led by Naqibullah will travel on the
Kabul to Torkam Gate stretch of Highway One in at least two vehicles. One of the vehicles is
described as being a black land cruiser with tinted windows, the TB members are armed with
Russian or Chinese made pistols and AK-47 assault rifles. The 15 to 20 TB members are comprised of
Afghan, Pakistani, Kashmiri, and Arab males.

The TB members led by Naqibullah will travel on the Kabul Jalalabad stretch of Highway One in at
least two vehicles, to include the black land cruiser. One vehicle will conduct surveillance along the
road while the second will be used to conduct the kidnapping. Once the TB have spotted a UN
vehicle with black lettering, the TB will stop the UN vehicle by either using a barricade constructed
from rocks and lumber or one vehicle will pull in front of the UN vehicle and force the UN vehicle to
stop while the second vehicle follows the UN vehicle. The TB members will use the pistols to
threaten the UN vehicle occupants. Should the TB members meet resistance in the effort to conduct
the kidnapping, the TB members will use the AK-47 rifles to combat the resistance or kill the
hostages.

After the TB conduct the kidnapping, Naqibullah plans to trade the hostages for 10 prisoners
currently detained in the Pol-e-Charki prison located in Pol-e-Charki (42SWD3437924478), Deh Sabz
District, Kabul Province Afghanistan. The prisoners Naqibullah hopes to trade the hostages for
include three Pakistani soldiers, ((Rahihullah)), and six other detainees. Naqibullah has been
instructed by Gul to place a higher priority in securing the release of the Pakistani soldiers. The
Pakistani soldiers are currently presenting themselves as Pakistani doctors in an effort to conceal the
fact that the Pakistani soldiers are members of the Pakistani army. At least one of the detainees was
found to have a cell phone inside Pol-e-Charki prison. In addition, the three detainees also have
connections to Noor ((Adin)), the director of the International Red Cross near Camp Phoenix
(42SWD2394722782), Kabul District, Kabul Province. Gul has been instructed by Adin to inform Adin
personally when the kidnapping is conducted and to not advertise the capture to anyone else. Adin
will then secure the release of the detainees, to include the three Pakistani soldiers and Rahihullah
in exchange for Gul releasing the UN hostages.

Naqibullah is a TB commander responsible for 15 to 20 TB members and is directly subordinate to

Gul. Naqibullah is from the village of Ashpan (42SXE4673815181), Sherzad District, Nangarhar
Province and is currently living at the Hadah farm in the Khalis residential area of Jalalabad City. Gul
is a retired Pakistani ISI general currently serving with the Lashkar Taiba faction of the PAKMIL. The
Lashkar Taiba faction conducts operations in eastern Afghanistan and the Kashmir region of
northern Pakistan.

Dr. Abdul Bahrami Command Linguist, Regional Command-East, ISAF

Captain Anthony Hammon Recorder, Regional Command-East, ISAF

SUMMARY:

Security in Afghanistan

o The greatest concern for Director Saleh is security along the highways, particularly in Ghazni and
Zabul, where he believes government officials cannot travel without security. He believes that the
shift in Taliban focus from attacks on district centers to attacks along the highways is attracting
recruits who are not actually Taliban but use the name to gain legitimacy, increasing the perception
of the size, scope and strength of the insurgency and demonstrating GIRoA weakness.

o Saleh believes that there has been noticeable progress in Wardak, but it will be temporary unless it
is extended to Ghazni and Zabul, as well as other areas.
o Director Saleh''s second major concern is for attacks in the major
population centers of Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Jalalabad, and Masar-e-Sharif.

o MG Rodriguez reported that there have been over 100 small drug labs destroyed in Nangarhar,
primarily in Achin, with no complaint from the locals, and that the 101st brought an additional
helicopter battalion that would assist with efforts there.

o Saleh reported that the #1 priority for the Afghan government is to fix the Ministry of Interior,
indicating that the leadership was involved in considerable corruption. He remarked that it would
be up to the US to fix it. He said he proposed to the British that they provide management classes.

Tag Ab

o Director Saleh says that BG Razaq will serve well over Tagab and is a good commander. At the
suggestion of putting an ANA force in Tagab, MG Rodriguez acknowledged the possibility of using
the Commandos.

o Saleh acknowledged that the Kapisa Governor is active HiG, indicating concern.

o Saleh noted that Qari Baryal, Ahmadi, and Safraz were all previously HiG who have turned Taliban,
are not reconcilable, and must be "taken out". MG Rodriguez noted that
there would be a meeting with the Kapisa NDS to determine how to approach this issue.

Pakistan

o Saleh believes that Hekmatyar is a reemerging figure being pushed to become more politically
active, and expects he will be more influential in 2008 and 2009. Saleh believes that it is in the best
interest of Afghanistan for Hekmatyar to remain in his current position, and that his capture or
reconciliation would destabilize Afghanistan, based on his influence in Wardak and parts of Kapisa.
They gave Hekmatyar''s last known address to ISI, but they did not action it
and Saleh expects them to facilitate Hekmatyar''s move to another location.

o Saleh observed several actions by the Pakistan Military indicating their lack of will to commit to
security operations in the FATA:

They have forces stationed at the port, where there is no immediate threat forces that could better
serve along the border.

Following an ambush on a PAKMIL unit crossing the tunnel into North Waziristan about six weeks
ago, the commander called Maulawi Ahmadjan to broker a peace with the insurgent force.

They lost control of Alizai last month and are not attempting to retake it because it is not in their
interest, even though it is in their country.

They have asked the US to allow them time to clear each insurgent group, one by one, hoping that
they will be allowed unlimited time in which the insurgents'' focus will turn
away from Pakistan and toward Afghanistan.

They know where Maulawi Kabir (travels to Miram Shah and Peshawar) and Anwar Ul-haq are, but
will not go after them.
o Saleh assessed that Pakistan ISI and the Army will work to ensure that a weak Prime Minister is
installed to preclude conflict with Musharraf. He described the wide-ranging control that the Army
had throughout the government and industry, leaving little under the responsibility of the civilian
government. He noted that there would be little change until a civilian government had real control.

Saleh predicts that General Kiyani will take a more active leading role as he realizes the breadth of
his power.

o Saleh sees potential for the Quetta Shura to weaken and noted that the Miram Shah shura has
turned toward criminality.

"Enemies of Afghanistan" flip-book

o MG Rodriguez provided the prototype "Enemies of Afghanistan" targets

booklet to Director Saleh, describing that it would be provided to ANP and that it could be updated
in the future. When asked if it should only include higher tier targets or all targets, Saleh said that it
would be good to start with this version.

Secure Communication

o Saleh reported that he has discussed the Afghan Secure Private Netork with GEN McNeill and MG
Champoux and that ISAF is supposed work on it next week.

Logar NDS Chief

o MG Rodriguez reported that the new Logar NDS chief is working well with coalition and working to
build trust with the ANA and ANP.

Release Requests

o Director Saleh reported that the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Justice had confirmed that
Abdullah Mujahid, who had been in US custody for 4 years and was reported to have been recently
turned over to the ANDF, was not in Afghan custody, implying that he must still be in US custody.
MG Rodriguez said we would figure it out.

o MG Rodriguez reported that Ghulam Mohammad would remain in US custody for further
questioning. Saleh had little reaction and did not seem concerned.

o Director Saleh asked that Zabit Zahir be released to the NDS in Kabul, rather than in Nangarhar,
and said that he would personally take responsibility.

Request for Support

o Director Saleh reported that the Afghan government has taken responsibility for the NDS budget,
previously handled by the CIA, which would likely result in a 30% cut in the coming year. Saleh asked
that, if possibly, RC-East provide AK, 9mm, and PKM ammunition; any other supplies, such as boots;
and construction materials. He said that if this was possible, he would send officers from the NDS
logistics office to facilitate.
At 0325Z, TF Kandahar reported that an unknown number of insurgents engaged friendly forces with
RPG fire and small arms fire at 41S PR 702 633 in the a Lashkarga district, Helmand province. Friendly
forces returned fire with direct fire weapons and requesting AH support. TF Kandahar requested an
urgent surgical MEDEVAC for 1 x GBR MIL WIA to Bastion Role 2. At 0647Z, 2 x AH-64D positively
identified 8 insurgents with PKM''s in the vicinity of the first engagement. 2 x

PLAN TO POISON CF IN NURISTAN PROVINCE

Organization(s) Involved: OPPOSING MILITANT FORCES

03 MAY 2008, TF BAYONET INTSUM 323, NSI

(S//REL TO USA, GCTF, ISAF, NATO) Insurgent Plan To Poison CF In Nuristan Province On 01 May
2008, insurgent leader Mulvi ((Nasim)) met with associates at his home in Kowtalay Village
(42SXD2664), Nurgaram District, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. Nasim passed out a substance he
described as poison with instructions to add to food or drink CF would consume in local villages
during normal patrols. Once a Coalition Soldier ingests the poison, the substance will enter the
stomach and the soldier will die. (Source Comment - The poison is called //Osama Kapa// in honor
of Osama ((Bin Laden)). Nasim said a bodyguard of Bin Laden developed the poison. I do not know
how much poison Nasim has in his possession. I believe this poison is available to other insurgent
commanders in Laghman Province, Afghanistan.)

Once a Coalition Soldier has ingested the substance and died, Nasim claimed three unidentified
individuals will attack Forward Operating Base Kalagush, Nurgaram District, Nuristan Province with
unidentified explosives. Nasim believes once a Soldier has been poisoned, the remaining forces will
be sufficiently distracted to allow a successful attack on the U.S. base. (Source Comment - I do not
know if the base attackers will be suicide bombers.)

Mulvi Nasim is approximately 38 years old, 67 to 69 inches tall, of a medium build, and wears a full
black beard roughly four inches in length. Nasim has a small mole under one of his eyes and usually
covers his face with a scarf during the day. (Source comment-Nasim has squinty eyes, like a man
from china.) Nasim owns a shop in Kowtalay Village that sells general goods, and Nasim occasionally
operates it himself. (Source Comment - The shop is labeled number six, and Nasim will lock the shop
if police or Coalition vehicles are in the area. The shop is not continuously open for business, and is
sometime operated by an unidentified relative.)

On 01 May 2008, Coalition Forces recovered roughly three grams of the substance. (Field Comment
- The substance appears to be a fine white powder and weighs roughly three grams. The substance
was obtained packaged in two clear plastic bags, and was subsequently packaged by coalition forces
into two additional plastic bags, sealed in a clear plastic container, and wrapped and tapped in a
black garbage bag.)

them back to KKC with 2 ANP KIA. 051800L the Kandak Commander mentions that the Kandak had
to resupply the outpost at Yosufkhel because the bazaar was closed due to civilian deaths during the
ambush. This was the first time this ETT heard about civilians being killed and both the Kandak
Commander and the ETT believed it was due to stray rounds during the ambush in Muskhel.

elders to request that they reopen bazaar and discuss incident. 06730L both ETT and Kandak

while the ANP were enroute back to the KKC area. Both the ANP Police Chief and the local leaders
say that the Jani Khel Police Chief was responsible and ANP from Khayr Kot were involved. The
Shura lasted for about two hours with the Kandak Commander saying he will inform his higher and
the ETT responding the same. The Kandak Commander relayed that the community should let the
government investigate and calmed their anger for the time being. No ANA/US/CF personnel were
involved in this incident.

INS TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN AFG

Organization(s) Involved: AL QAIDA,TALIBAN,WAHIBI GROUP

23 JUL 2008, TF CASTLE INTSUM 4144, NSIG

(SECRET//REL TO USA, GCTF, ISAF, NATO) PLANS OF MOHAMMAD HAMZAH AHMADZAI AND USTAD
ASAD TO CONTINUE USE OF CHEMICALLY ENHANCED MUNITIONS IN AFG

As of late june 2008, dr. Mohammad ((hamzah)) ahmadzai, an associate of tb commander abdul
rahman ((habibzai)), planned to provide chemically-enhanced munitions to qari ((khalid)), a wahabi
who sought to conduct unspecified attacks in konar province, afghanistan. Hamzah first met khalid
in circa late may 2008 via ustad ((asad)), a chemical expert and hamzah's teacher. In early july,
hamzah provided khalid two rocket-propelled grenade (rpg) rounds with chemical payloads that
were intended to spread a poisonous gas upon impact. Due to his desire to continue acquiring such
munitions, khalid had agreed to bring his operations in konar province under the command of
habibzai. (comment: there was no further information on the timing or targets of any attacks khalid
planned with the chemical munitions.)

Separately, hamzah had expressed an interest in acquiring uranium to be used in explosives for
unspecified purposes but found it to be too expensive to acquire. The uranium was allegedly
available from an unspecified factory in lahore, punjab province, pakistan, at a cost of approximately
35,000 pakistani rupees (pkr) for ten grams. (comment: at an exchange rate of 65 pkr to u.s. $35,000
pkr is equivalent to approximately u.s. $538.) Hamzah was thus seeking alternative means of
creating a large explosion that could be used to attack the cf base near the afghan military training
center in kabul city, kabul province, afghanistan. Hamzah planned to use six kilograms of the same
chemical compound he used in the chemical-laden rpg rounds. As of early july, hamzah had not
finalized plans for such an attack.
Hamzah originally obtained the poisonous chemical formula from ustad asad, who had been his
teacher. Hamzah then implemented the use of the formula with rpg rounds. Asad learned his
chemical skills from dr. ((salahuddin)), aka engineer ((salahuddin)), of punjab province, pakistan, who
was located in iraq as of 2008. Salahuddin claimed to have learned his technical skills from pakistani
nuclear scientist a.q. ((khan)). Asad claimed to have ties to numerous extremist groups, and he
periodically brokered contact between hamzah and commanders seeking hamzah's expertise. As of
early july, hamzah was attempting to make contact with unspecified al-qa'ida arabs via asad. An arab
in bajaur agency, federally administered tribal areas (fata), pakistan, provided asad with remote
controls for use with improvised explosive devices.

Asad and hamzah were also assisted by ((rohullah)), who was the deputy for mohmand agency, fata,
pakistan, for supai suhaba, a pakistani political party. Rohullah was in touch with habibzai via
hamzah and asad, and he also claimed to be cooperating with tehrik-e.

4. (N/I C) FOREIGN TERRORIST ELEMENTS JOINED TO GY AKBARI GROUP IN HERAT (C-6)

DOI: 27 SEPT 08; OHR: IT FHT 676/08

(N/I C) Seven (7) Arabs (NFI) and four (4) Iranians (NFI) have been seen in SIAHVASHAN Village
(41SMT3387), GOZAREH District, Herat province five days ago. They have joined GHOLAM YAHYA
AKBARY (GYA) group. The seven Arabs are tied with AL MANSOUR, one of the OSAMA BIN LADEN
Deputies. The Arabs are only in charge to carry out suicide attacks against U.S. and Italian troops or,
secondarily, whatever foreigners personnel. The four Iranians belong to "Intelligence" unit of SEPAH-
E-PASDARAN and they are supporting GYA in the anti-ISAF/GIRoA actions through intelligence and as
well coordinating the GYA group activities. CTC Comment: Up to now, it is not still clear the possible
target and the date of these attacks against ISAF/CF. The attacks by GYA groups will be carried out 1-
2 days after the end of festivity, notwithstanding the Iranians are spreading fake propaganda about
possible VBIED attacks, also against Mosques, before the Eid al Fitr (next 1st - 3th October). EOC.

Whilst on ROUTE 611, a white salon car drove towards FF at speed. This was the second car to drive
towards FF at speed since they had been moving down ROUTE 116, the first stopped as soon as the
c/s issued a verbal warning.

Whilst FF were carrying out a search of the first vehicle, the second vehicle approached from the
north. This vehicle accelerated towards the centre of FF. Verbal and visual warnings were
immediately given by FF in an attempt to get the vehicle to stop, but the vehicle continued to
accelerating towards the c/s and failed to respond to the warnings. Consequently, FF fired a 5 rd at
the vehicle, which by this point was at GR 41S PR 7422 5029. The vehicle came to a stand-still 10
metres from the c/s.

FF approached the vehicle cautiously, at which point they discovered that the passenger, NAJAM
NADEEN, has sustained a GSW to the left upper arm. NAJAM NADEEN is from MAUDA VILLAGE, KJI,
and a member of the ALEEZIA tribe. NADJAM NADEENs brother, MUHIBULLAH who had been driving
the vehicle, said that they had not been able to see the patrol in the dark, even though the car had
two headlights in good working order, which had been one whilst the vehicle accelerated towards
the c/s. They had been travelling from LKG and were on their way to KJI and had just stopped in the
SGN BZR to make some purchases.

The c/s immediately administered first aid and a 9 liner was sent to the Ops Room at 1945D*. Initial
treatment was given by 25208746LCpl Nicholls. NAJAM NADEEN was bleeding heavily from the
wound; FFDs were placed to steam the bleeding. Shortly afterwards, the patrol medic, LCpl Sparks,
arrived and assisted with the treatment. The c/s was instructed by H10B to move the casualty, using
the white salon, directly to FOB JKN Sangar 2. The vehicle was used as it was deemed the quickest
means of transport. NAJAM NADEEN was received at FOB JKN Sangar 2 by H19 and moved directly to
the medical centre for treatment. He was then CASEVACd by PEDRO to BSN.

FF returned from the patrol at 2027D* and will be interviewed at the earliest possibility. Statements
will be taken from the individuals who fired the shots, the Section commander and the Patrol
Commander

In the pre patrol orders, the intelligence brief strongly indicated the possibility of suicide bombers
within the SGN BZR.

STATING THEY HAVE PID OF TWO IED EMPLACERS DIGGING ON THE ROAD JUST AHEAD OF F1-3S
PATROL. THE PID WAS DEFINED AS INDIVIDUALS STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, POSSIBLY
EMPLACING AN IED, AND INSTRUCTING CIVILIAN TRAFFIC AROUND THEIR POSITION. JAEGER 3
REPORTED THAT THE SHOT WAS TOO FAR TO ENGAGE WITH RIFLES AND THEIR VECTOR/DAGR WAS
MALFUNCTIONING, SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO CALL FOR FIRE. WHEN EOD REACHED THE AREA,
THEY SWEPT AND LOCATED THE IED, WHICH THEY CONDUCTED A CONTROL DET. JAEGER 3
MAINTAINED VISUAL ON THE SUSPECTS, WHO WERE HEADING SOUTH, AND OBSERVED THE
INDIVIDUALS STOP ON THE ROAD SOUTH OF THE F1-3S POSITION. ONCE THE INDIVIDUALS
STOPPED, JAEGER 3 CALLED FOR A POLAR (DIRECTION 3431 DISTANCE 2556) FIRE FOR EFFECT
MISSION FROM WARHAMMER (60MM MORTARS) WHO WAS PATROLLING WITH F1-3. THE
GROUND COMMANDER GAVE CLEARANCE FOR FIRES AND WARHAMMER ENGAGED WITH SIX
ROUNDS OF 60MM. THE ROUNDS IMPACTED APPROX 300M WEST OF THE INTENDED TARGET.
JAEGER 3 OBSERVED THE INDIVIDUALS RUN INTO THE VILLAGE OF TUT, WHERE THEY LOST VISUAL.
F1-3 CONTINUED SOUTH TO THE LOCATION OF THE TARGET. AS THEY APPROACHED THE AREA,
THEY OBSERVED ONE LOCAL NATIONAL CASUALTY. THE CASUALTY WAS BLEEDING FROM THE LEGS

ISRD ASSESSMENT: CLOSE, MINOR, PROBABLE RPG THE ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON AIRCREW
OBSERVATION AND REPORTING. THIS ENGAGEMENT IS ASSESSED TO BE A REACTIVE TARGET IN
RESPONSE TO CF OPERATING IN THE AREA. RW HAD JUST COMPLETED AN INSERTION AND IT IS
LIKELY THAT THE SOUND OF THE A/C ALERTED EF IN THE AREA. THE AREA OF RC-EAST, IN WHICH
THIS EVENT OCCURRED, PROVIDED EF WITH COVER AND CONCEALMENT DUE TO THE RUGGED
TERRAIN. AS CF A/C TRANSIT AND CONDUCT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA, IT IS LIKELY THAT EF WILL
CONTINUE TO ENGAGE OPPORTUNISTIC TARGETS. THERE HAVE BEEN 2X RPG ENGAGEMENTS
WITHIN 12NM IN THE LAST 15 DAYS. OVERALL, THERE HAVE BEEN 32X RPG ENGAGEMENTS IN
AUGUST, OF WHICH 18 EVENTS (~ 56%), OCCURRED IN RC-EAST. RPGS ARE THE SECOND MOST
UTILIZED WEAPON SYSTEM IN SAFIRE EVENTS, COMPRISING 27% OF SURFACE TO AIR
ENGAGEMENTS IN AUGUST. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO THE WEAPON'S WIDE AVAILABILITY AND EASE OF
UTILITY, AS WELL AS ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN TARGETING PEOPLE, VEHICLES AND A/C. RPGS REMAIN
THE MOST LETHAL WEAPON SYSTEM USED IN THEATRE, ACCOUNTING FOR THE MAJORITY OF A/C
LOSSES. THERE HAVE BEEN 2X SAFIRES WITHIN 10NM IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. 1X RPG VS RW (NO HIT),
1X SMARMS VS RW (NO HIT).

TB INTEND SHOOT DOWN OF ISAF HELICOPTERS

Organization(s) Involved: TALIBAN EAST

20 SEP 2009, CJTF-82 CJ2X DAILY ROLL-UP, NSI

1. (S//REL TO USA, GCTF, ISAF, NATO//DISPLAY ONLY TO AFG) AS OF 17 SEPTEMBER 2009, TALIBAN
FIGHTERS UNDER THE COMMAND OF TALIBAN COMMANDER HAJI ((MATIN)) WERE USING AN
IRANIAN MADE ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE (RPG) LAUNCHER TO SHOOT DOWN COALITION
FORCES (CF) HELICOPTERS IN KORENGAL VALLEY //MGRS: 42SXD750630//, PECH DISTRICT, KONAR
PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN (AF). THE RPG LAUNCHER HAD MARKINGS IN PERSIAN FARSI THAT READ
//MADE IN IRAN//.

2. (S//REL TO USA, GCTF, ISAF, NATO//DISPLAY ONLY TO AFG) THE RPG LAUNCHER IS SIMILAR TO
THE RUSSIAN MADE RPG, BUT HAS A SCOPE ON THE LAUNCHER THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED TO ZOOM
IN ON OBJECTS FOR TARGETING AND PROVIDE DISTANCE TO TARGET. THE SCOPE ALLOWS FOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO 300 METERS. (FIELD COMMENT-FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE TRAINING THE
TALIBAN ARE CONDUCTING TO USE THESE IRANIAN RPG LAUNCHERS IS CITED IN DIIR-HCT41-0735-
09.)

2. (S//REL TO USA, GCTF, ISAF, NATO//DISPLAY ONLY TO AFG) THE RPG PROJECTILE IS DIFFERENT
FROM THE NORMAL RUSSIAN MADE RPG WARHEAD IN THAT IT IS NARROWER AND HEAVIER THAN
THE STANDARD EXPLOSIVE WARHEAD. IT ALSO TRAVELS AT A HIGHER VELOCITY THAN THE RUSSIAN
RPG THE TALIBAN WERE USING IN KORENGAL VALLEY. THE PROJECTILE IS GREEN IN COLOR WITH A
RED TIP. (REPORT COMMENT-THIS RPG ROUND IS BETTER FOR SHOOTING DOWN HELICOPTERS
BECAUSE IT TRAVELS FASTER WHICH MAKES IT MORE ACCURATE WHEN SHOOTING A MOVING
TARGET.) THIS RPG LAUNCHER AND PROJECTILE WERE USED IN AN ATTACK ON A HELICOPTER IN
KONAR PROVINCE WHICH RESULTED IN THE SHOOTING DOWN OF A COALITION FORCES
HELICOPTER.

First Impression Report received of CIVCAS Allegation.

Following the employment of 1 x GBU-12 by B Coy 4 Rifles, CAS (F16) reported seeing personnel
running and bodies being picked up at the target area. Shortly after the patrol returned to PB SILAB,
a LN tractor and car approached the front gate with multiple casualties. Initial reports were 3 x LN
wounded CAT A, but this was quickly corrected to 1 x CAT A and multiple KIA. B Coy officer was
talking to the crowd of LNs outside the front gate.

Discussion with the crowd found that LN reported that there were 2 families in the compound. The
LNs are saying 7 dead, possibly 6 of them children and 1 x wounded female, whose husband and
child were extracted back by helicopter with her to BSN. FF counted 5 other casualties brought in to

C COY 2R22R BG reported while conducting an independent offensive patrol ISO OP KATAKAWAL FF
spotted 2 x LN male approaching FF cordon at high speed. FF conducted EOF procedures resulting in
2 x LN (14yrs and 16 yrs old boys) wounded. FF C/S were in the process of organising a MEDEVAC
when boht LN DOW. FIR to follow.

UPDATE 020002D*

STORY BOARD: The motorcycle approached the cordon extremely fast and did not respond to verbal
and visual warnings. As such, one aimed warning shot was fired. The motorcycle continued towards
the cordon and when they were within 50m lethal shots were fired at the centre of mass. This
resulted in rider #1 shot in the ankle and he suffered a head trauma when he fell from the
motorcycle. It is assessed that he DOW from the head trauma and not the shot. Rider #2 was shot in
the thorax and DOW. There was a MEDEVAC MM(S) 10-01N which was cancelled when the med
condition of both persons deteriorated from Cat A (as was orig reported) to VSA. It is assessed that
the soldiers followed the proper EOF procedures; however, this will be verified pending the MP NIS
investigation.

***DELAYED REPORT***

At 1350, INS opened a simultaneous attack on two squads from Fox CO (F2A and F2C). The squads
were located IVO of OP North (41R PQ 10040 22530), at the intersection of route Redskins and
Route Ravens. The squads took incoming SAF from the N, NW, and NE. The squads returned fire to
the NW. Fox Company didn't observe any civilians in the area nor did they come in contact with any
civilians during the entire TIC, which closed at 1530. The only terrain features that Fox Company
observed to the N/NW at the time a marijuana field and a large stock of corn. At 1350, enemy
insurgents opened a simultaneous attack on two squads from Fox CO (F2A and F2C). The squads
were located IVO of OP North (41R PQ 10040 22530), at the intersection of route Redskins and
Route Ravens. The squads took incoming SAF from the N, NW, and NE. The squads returned fire to
the NW. Fox Company didn't observe any civilians in the area nor did they come in contact with any
civilians during the entire TIC, which closed at 1530. The only terrain features that Fox Company
observed to the N/NW at the time a marijuana field and a large stock of corn.
Easy Company had no units in contact at the time.

At 1450, two patients were brought to COP Koshtay (E Co AO) by their father Khan, with apparent
gunshot wounds (GSW). Their father stated that they were from the village of Haji Wakeel which is
approximately 15 minutes away via motorcycle from COP Koshtay. They were also accompanied by
a younger man, possibly a brother or a cousin.

We believe that the village of Haji Wakeel may be located at (41R PQ 155 327); however, that
information is based on an old map with the approximate position of the villages written on. The
father did not identify the direction of which the village was located.

The first patient, female name Shamsia, age 2 had suffered a GSW to the abdomen. The wound was
bleeding heavily and the patient's stomach was distended.

The second patient, a male named Esan Ullah, age 6, had suffered a GSW to the foot.

The father, Khan, stated that he was sitting in his compound with his children drinking Chai when
rounds started coming over the wall. The patients were struck immediately, and he brought them to
COP Koshtay.

At this time, the source of the injuries is unknown. The TIC from Fox Co is included in this report as it
was the only event involving SAF in the area at the time. Since we do not yet know what direction
the village is from COP Koshtay, it is impossible to identify any particular force as the likely cause of
injury.

At 0500D*, TM Wardak reported that CF conducting OBJ Ballentine recieved SAF from 4-8 INS,
during the contact there was 1x LN woman KIA and 4x INS KIA.

After the combined force of commandos, advised by ODA conducted INFIL into a village in
Arghandab District. During clearing operations, the combined force encountered a man after
entering a compound courtyard. The man started to flee, but then responded to initial commands
to raise his hands and stop. Quickly thereafter, he suddenly ran toward an open doorway. Based on
available information from CCA, the man's prior attempt to avoid capture, and then a second
attempt to flee, a member of ODA assessed the man's actions as hostile intent and fired four shots.
One shot wounded the man. A medical officer treated the man and he did not need MEDEVAC.
After additional assessment, the man was released to village elders.

Shortly after the incident, the combined force discovered a woman who had been shot and killed in
the same building. The initial assessment was that a shot fired by FF killed the woman.
Commandos and SF personnel met with the family and conducted an immediate KLE with the elders.
A condolence payment was offered and accepted by the family of the deceased woman. Both the
family and the village members indicated that they believed the shooting death was an accident.

R: The patient was sent to Herat. When asked what happened he stated that he was driving toward
one of the gates and was told to stop by a guard. He did not stop so the guard fired. Patient stated
that he was a civilian not ANA.

During a movement from Camp Arena to Zabzak Pass (OP. GREAT COLD) a platoon belonging to TF
TAURO (ESP BG) effected an escalation of force.

ESP BG BARCELONA reported that the vehicle marched in queue back realized that a motorcycle was
overtaking from the left a convoy of civilian vehicles that went for the unit.

The motorcycle was driven by a single occupant who wore white robes and turban. Once the bike
advanced the civilian convoy, and given his approach to the convoy, the last of the vehicles made the
following warning signs:

- Green Laser.

- Beeps.

- Signs with orange panel.

The motorcycle continued approaching the convoy, that's why warning shots were fired into the air,
to which the motorcycle responded by increasing the speed. At that point, the vehicle proceeded to
fire warning shots into the ground; being the attitude of the bike in that time to dodge the shots and
continue its movement to approach the convoy. When it was about 10m from the vehicle, the driver
was shot and he was seen falling from the motorcycle.

The events took place in a short space of time during which the Team Leader of the vehicle was not
aware in detail of what happened, so that when he was informed of the facts, due to the noise, the
communication helmet and the situation, interpreted that just as an EOF, without realizing that the
motorcyclist was shot down. In this situation, the Chief of vehicle proceeded to report that he had
an EOF without giving the importance it has subsequently been demonstrated.

The Leader of the whole unit did not receive that message because of the difficulty caused by
jammers and the urban environment.

On the other hand, PRT HRT CDR reported at 22 2300D*DEC 2009 that Provincial Police Authorities
claimed ISAF forces to open fire against a motorbike with two civilian male. Both were taken to
civilian hospital in Herat City with several injures, as the result one of them died (TBC).

The aforementioned report of the ESP BTG inform that only one civilian was involved.
