Harkat vows to fight India, Northern Alliance

DOABA, Panjsher Valley, Dec 18 (PTI)--Militants belonging to
Pakistan-backed Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), jailed by the Northern
Alliance in this remote prison alongwith over 300 Taliban fighters,
are hoping to get out on a general amnesty vowing to fight against
India in Kashmir and the new regime in Afghanistan.

"We hope to get out of the prison soon as we have heard that the new
president Hamid Karzai would give general amnesty to all prisoners.
We cannot make any compromise on our goal - to wrest Kashmir from
India and reinstate Taliban," HuM commander Ubeidullah Assad, who
alongwith nine other militants of the group is kept in this obscure
prison located 120 km from Kabul, said.

Director of Doaba jail, commander Soami, who refused to give his real
name, said of the 330 prisoners held by Northern Alliance (NA), 10
were from Pakistan, 4 Arabs, 3 from Burma, 2 from China and the rest
Afghan Taliban.

The Arabs were fighting under the command of one Abdulla, a close
confidante of Osama Bin Laden and a key figure in al-Qaeda network,
he said.(PTI)
