False Flag Op confirmed: United States quietly reveals official plans to overthrow Iran’s first democratically elected Prime Minister!

19 August 2013 (03:00 UTC-07 Tango)/12 Shawwal 1434/28 Mordad 1391/13 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

“There is no longer good reason to keep secrets about such a critical episode in our recent past. The basic facts are widely known to every school child in Iran. Suppressing the details only distorts the history, and feeds into myth making on all sides.”-Malcolm Byrne, National Security Archives

The National Security Archives has published quietly released U.S. government documents proving the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) was ordered to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran in 1953, all to help out an oil company that is now known as BP (British Petroleum)!

The documents come from the CIA’s own internal history archives.  The overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddeq was known as Operation TPAJAX.  Other documents are from the United Kingdom.

The National Security Archives says there are more documents, about one cubit foot worth, based on references made in other CIA in house historical reports.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 04-05 August 2013: Comedy of errors = U.S. kills teachers & cops! U.S. destroys life of UN security guard! Iran promises Karzai military help! India sends more cash!

In Ghazni Province, reports that U.S. forces shot and killed a grade school teacher.  Villagers say the U.S. forces also shot at cops who were responding to the shooting, one cop killed, four wounded.  The teacher was working in an orchard when he was shot.   Mujahideen report that what happened was that U.S. forces were arriving late to a battle between Mujahideen and Afghan National Police (ANP).  Mujahideen observed what happened, saying the U.S. forces thought the teacher, along with other civilians working in the orchard, were Mujahideen and shot at them.  Then the ANP responded, thinking the Mujahideen had returned.  The result was that U.S. and ANP fought each other.  Mujahideen had a good laugh watching the comedy of errors!

In Nangarhar Province, Jalalabad city, another round of explosions.  28 people wounded.

In Uruzgan Province, Tarinkowt city, an Afghan National Police (ANP) cop was shot and killed by other ANP personnel when he tried to bomb a bank where fellow cops were collecting their monthly pay.

In Kandahar Province, Kandahar city, four civilians killed, 27 wounded by a car bomb.  Other reports say it was a bomb hidden in a livestock cart.

Mujahideen report that at least a dozen ANP cops from several provinces joined the Mujahideen.  Some of those joining the Mujahideen included front line officers.

There have been many explosions in Afghan cities, many of which the Mujahideen do not claim the credit.  Mujahideen do take credit for explosions against government targets.  Yet another religious group has condemned suicide bombing.  The Ulema Council of Afghanistan declared suicide bombing as illegitimate in the religion of Islam.  The fact that so many religious leaders condemn suicide bombings makes you wonder who’s really behind the suicide bombings.

Flooding has hit nine Afghan provinces, including Nangarhar, Kabul, Khost, Laghman and Nuristan.  At least 84 people dead.

In the British empire country of Australia, one man pled guilty to sending harassing letters to families of dead Diggers.  He said it was his way of protesting the false War on Terror in Afghanistan.  He called the dead Diggers child killers, which in some cases is actually true, however the families of the dead Diggers didn’t want to be reminded.

India has promised Afghanistan another $100 million USD in cash: “After providing $20 million funds, we are again pledging $100 million in fresh aid, but the funds will be spent on small development projects which will boost the principles of social economy, since India wants a solid and strong Afghanistan.”– Amar Sinha, Indian ambassador to Afghanistan

The Secretariat of the National Security Council of Iran has signed a long term  strategic cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Afghanistan National Security Council.  It was signed before the inauguration of the new Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani.  The MoU includes military/police cooperation, information sharing and economic activities.

The reporter who was publicly beaten by the very governor of Parwan Province he accused of corruption, has asked the Afghan government for help: “Since the ministry of interior affairs of Afghanistan is responsible to provide security for the citizens of Afghanistan, and similarly each citizen has obliged to assist police, therefore, I, Nasratullah Iqbal, an ordinary citizen of Kabul city and reporter of Bokhdi News Agency would like to bring to the attention of interior ministry that my life is in risk, and request the ministry to take legal actions to prevent my own and my family’s concerns in this regard.”

A former Afghan UN security guard went public with the story of how U.S./ISAF destroyed his life.  In April 2008, as he was passing a U.S./ISAF convoy he was shot by U.S./ISAF personnel.  They claimed he was a suicide bomber.  He lost the use of one leg.  The United Nations fired him from his security guard job because he couldn’t walk.  His four children were kicked out of a private school because he could no longer pay, they were bullied out of a public school.  This week he spent hours in line at a local court, trying to stop his family’s eviction from their home.  His story is considered typical.  So much for the United States occupying Afghanistan in the name of security and stability.

It’s been revealed that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Pakistani officials to discuss a new official office of the Mujahideen (Taliban).

Ever since the Marine Corps Times revealed that Cragslist has become the place for military personnel to find gay sex partners in Iraq and Afghanistan, the newspaper is now warning that the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Afghanistan are now posing as homosexuals to catch the gay sex posters.  The U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) forbids even heterosexual sex in combat zones!

According to The Fiscal Times, Obama’s threat to pull all U.S. personnel out of Afghanistan (Zero Option) is actually a cover to try and save the broke U.S. government $112 billion!

A recent U.S. News & World Report revealed that many U.S. personnel killed or wounded in Afghanistan are college graduates who joined the military to payoff their massive student loans.  I write this because I’m still amazed by how many U.S. citizens think federal student loans (misleadingly called Federal Student Aid) equals free college education.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 31 July-01 August 2013: More proof the U.S. ain’t leavin’! NATO kills Afghan cops!

A U.S. Army 1st Lieutenant was found guilty of murdering two Afghans.  He was sentenced to 20 years in military prison.  The case involved the killing of Afghans riding a motorcycle.  The lieutenant ordered his unit to shoot and kill the Afghans.  Investigations show the Afghans were no threat to the unit.  U.S. military rules of engagement state that you must be shot at first, before responding in kind.

In Nangarhar Province, Bati Kot District, U.S./NATO airstrike killed at least four Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel.  Afghan government sources say Afghan National Army (ANA) special forces troops mistook the cops as Mujahideen and called in the U.S./NATO airstrike.  Interestingly, Mujahideen stated they had ambushed ANA forces in the same area.  They claim to have killed three ANA personnel.

In Nimruz Province, Chahar Burjak District, reports that 41 people were killed by U.S./NATO airstrike.  Local officials say they were all Mujahideen.

In Faryab Province, Almar District, a suicide bomber using an exploding motorcycle killed himself and several ANA troops.  Different government sources give conflicting reports.  The ANA says that four ANA troops were only wounded.  Local provincial government sources say between one and three ANA troops killed and two wounded.  Also, Mujahideen claimed they assassinated the mayor of Pul Chiragh District, as well as the police chief and two others.

In Jowzjan Province, Aqcha District, reports that 20 Afghan National Army and Police joined the Mujahideen.

In Kandahar Province, Panjwaee District, Sayedano village of Mooshan region was hit by Afghan government forces conducting an Israeli style raid.  Villagers say two people were killed, eight wounded.

In Helmand Province, Marjah District, an Israeli style home invasion took place in Haji Qayyum in Loe Charahi area.  Nine people kidnapped.

In Ghor Province, reports that a village near Chaghcharan city was attacked by unknown gunmen.  Two people killed, a woman and two children wounded.

The Central Council of Hindus and Sikhs in Afghanistan are complaining because they have no representation in the U.S. backed Afghan Parliament.  Hindus and Sikhs are now asking the Afghan government to officially exile them so they can qualify for relocation assistance through the United Nations.

Afghanistan and United Arab Emirates (UAE) have signed a long term strategic security agreement.

Australia has deported it’s first round of refugees from Afghanistan to Papua New Guinea.  Reports say some of the men are Iranians.  Australia recently said they would not accept anymore refugees from Afghanistan, even though Australia has a hand in the evil that is taking place in Afghanistan.

An Afghan reporter lost his job after he ‘liked’ an article on Facebook.  The TV station did not give a reason, but it has something to do with a new employee from Germany and the posting on Facebook.  It was also revealed that a manager at the TV station was fired for “interfering” with the German employee.

The U.S. led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the Afghan government have agreed to a deal regarding the huge departure tax Afghanistan was levying on departing U.S./ISAF military equipment: “The Cabinet of Ministers for the Government of Afghanistan has approved the Ministry of Finance’s recommendation to waive penalties and fines associated with customs transit documentation.”-ISAF statement

A U.S. News & World Report article says it will cost U.S. taxpayers $6 billion USD to bring home $36 billion worth of military equipment from Afghanistan.  Another $7 billion worth of military equipment will be left behind!

The U.S. Department of Defense has told the U.S. Congress that the United States needs to maintain “substantial” long term military presence in Afghanistan, after the supposed 2014 pullout.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 29-30 July 2013: More proof Afghanistan is U.S./U.K. hot spot for gay sex! U.S. increases airstrikes! More proof the corruption is United States!

In Parwan Province, U.S. News & World Report stated that three USAF airmen were wounded in a explosion at Bagram airbase.  The airman are part of the 755th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron. The explosion ripped through the airmen’s outrageously expensive Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle.

In Paktia Province, reports that three villages were bombed by U.S./NATO airstrikes.  At least 65 people killed. NATO/ISAF said they were all Mujahideen.

The Afghan National Army (ANA) claim they’ve killed 140 Mujahideen in Logar, Paktia and Nangarhar provinces.  It was part of Operation Simurgh.  The Afghan Ministry of Defense says many of those killed were Pakistani.

In Logar and Kunar provinces reports of U.S. airstrikes.  At least 80 people killed.  Afghan government sources are saying the airstrikes are being called in to stop human wave attacks by Mujahideen.

Also in Logar Province, Pul-e-Alam, a U.S. Army Specialist was killed by indirect fire.  He was part of the 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division.  Mujahideen reported the bomb attack, but they claim five U.S. personnel were killed.

In Zabul Province, Shahjoi District, an explosion killed nine people and wounded 12 others.  The bomb was meant for the local Afghan National Police (ANP) commander, who was among those killed.

In Kandahar Province, Spin Boldak District, an explosion killed a woman and her two daughters.  In Panjwayi District, and explosion killed one woman.  Also, the sons of a police commander assassinated by Mujahideen, conducted a home invasion retaliation, killing a man and his two sons.  However, Mujahideen say the man and his sons were not involved in their assassination of the cop commander.

In Kunduz Province, Dashte Archi District, the villages of Haji Zarghoon and Haji Sarfaraz were subjected to Israeli home invasions by NATO/ANA troops.  Six people kidnapped.

In Laghman Province, four villagers were kidnapped by government officials, who’re now asking the village elders to pay a large amount of money for their freedom (25000 Afghani per kidnap victim).

An Afghan diplomat has been kidnapped in Pakistan’s Baluchistan Province.

According to U.S. military news sources, such as Marine Corps Times, Afghanistan has become the craigslist hot spot for homosexual sex!  That is a direct violation of the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which forbids even heterosexual sex in combat zones!  This is just another revelation in the decline and fall of the morality of the United States.  Other news sources have reported on homosexual crimes being committed upon Afghan boys by U.S./NATO personnel.  Even the Canadian military has sealed their scandalous investigation into it!

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) confirmed that U.S. tax dollars are going to Afghan contractors known to support Mujahideen.  SIGAR blamed the U.S. Army Suspension and Debarment Office, which refused to cancel 43 contracts linked to the Mujahideen.  “I am deeply troubled that the U.S. military can pursue, attack, and even kill terrorists and their supporters, but that some in the U.S. government believe we cannot prevent these same people from receiving a government contract.”-John Sopko, SIGAR

Also, SIGAR revealed that $47 million tax dollars went down the toilet in a USAID program called Stability in Key Areas Program.  SIGAR says it was a failure because there’s still no stability in Afghanistan.  SIGAR says it’s because not one dollar went to those who were supposed to get it: “…Although USAID had disbursed approximately $47 million for the four SIKA contracts as of March 31, 2013, none of the funds had gone to grants that fund community projects….”

So who got the $47 million?  DAI of Bethesda, Maryland, and AECOM of Los Angeles, California.

The Christian Science Monitor reporting that a dam being built by the taxpayers of India could mean war with Iran and Turkmenistan.  The Salma Dam could be complete by the end of 2014 (the same time U.S./NATO is to draw down). It blocks rivers that flow into Iran and Turkmenistan.  The dam will allow local Afghan farms to increase production and will generate electricity.

The U.S. Department of Defense admits that 2241 U.S. service members have died since the start of the War on Terror in Afghan.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 25-26 July 2013: More proof the United States is behind the corruption! More Afghans sacrificed for the U.S. & U.K.!

In Helmand Province, the Afghan National Army (ANA) reported that in the past four months of fighting for the evil United States and British empire, 500 ANA soldiers sacrificed their lives for the Red, White and Blue!  ANA officials say that is a dramatic increase from the same time the year before.  And Mujahideen report the successful conclusion to a ten days long battle with Afghan government forces, in Sangin District.  They claim to have killed 83 government personnel, wounded 45, and destroyed 23 vehicles.  Two Mujahideen killed, five wounded.  Also, in Musa Kala District reports that pro-U.S. forces conducted an Israeli style home invasion in Kisi village. One person killed, one kidnapped.

In Nuristan Province, two people killed by U.S. drone strike.

In Paktia Province, reports that three civilians killed, five wounded, when mortar rounds landed on a village during battles between Mujahideen and ANA forces.

In Kunar Province, Manugi District, reports that ANA forces retaliated for a Mujahideen attack by shooting randomly into a village.  At least 11 people wounded.  The night before, ANA forces fired mortar rounds during a Mujahideen attack, some of those mortar rounds landed on the village, wounding eight people.  Mujahideen claim they’ve killed 27 ANA and Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel in a day long battle.

In Kunduz Province, Kunduz city, an explosion killed at least one person and wounded three.  Local government officials say it was caused by a car bomb.

In Jawzjan Province, Aqcha District, two people killed, ten wounded by explosion.  Local government officials say a handcart was left near a cop car.  It was a bomb.

In Samangan Province, Mujahideen claim they blew up the car carrying the governor.  The governor was wounded, four of his bodyguards were killed.

The ANA and ANP have launched Operation Simurgh in Logar and Nangarhar provinces.  ANA officials say they are trying to stop Mujahideen from controlling four provinces along the Kabul-Nangarhar Highway.  ANA reports two of their soldiers killed.

In Zabul Province, Shahjoi District, local government officials claim Mujahideen kidnapped 12 cops.  Mujahideen say they captured the cops in a battle.

In Badakhshan Province, Baharak village, a woman (who graduated from Kabul University by the way) has been exiled for writing and publishing her first book of Iranian love poetry.

The U.S. Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) released more proof the U.S. is behind corruption in Afghanistan.  This time it involves the U.S. backed court system.  John Sopko discovered there is almost no oversight of tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars used to fund the Justice Training Transition Program.  Also, Sopko discovered more evidence that the U.S. is behind the skyrocketing illegal drug trade.  He found that the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is not pushing for the creation of Afghan laws to fight corruption and illegal drugs!   ‘Training’ of the U.S. created Afghan justice system has been handled by U.S. and European contractors, who do little yet get paid tens of millions of dollars.  The latest contractor, International Development Law Organization, denies SIGAR’s accusations.

By the way, the latest SIGAR report also says that in the past three months alone, $2 billion in U.S. tax dollars have been wasted!

British Empire Owns the United States: Forces U.S. taxpayers to fork over $150 million for spy data!

02 August 2013 (19:39 UTC-07 Tango 01 August 2013)/25 Ramadan 1434/11 Mordad 1391/26 Geng-Shen (6th month) 4711

According to leaked U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), dated 2010, the United States Department of Homeland Security/NSA gave the United Kingdom $150 million taxpayer dollars in the past three years for ‘intelligence’!   This is according to the British news source The Guardian.

The money is going to the U.K.’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).  According to the leaked NSA documents, a GCHQ official calls the U.S. payments an “investment”.

The documents show that U.S. taxpayers are funding half of the British spying operations in Cyprus.  Remember Cyprus?  That’s the country that suddenly went belly up, and massive bailouts of the government took place, while many people had their bank accounts seized to pay for the bailouts!  It’s all connected to the recently discovered massive petroleum field in the Mediterranean (known as Levant Basin Province, aka Leviathan).

Ironically, even though the U.S. is paying the U.K. for spy data, according to the NSA documents 60% of the British Empire’s internet and phone spying is actually being done by the U.S. NSA!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 15-16 July 2013. More proof the British-U.S. Empires are behind boy sex slaves & opium! More proof the U.S. ain’t leavin’!

Afghan news media reporting that an Afghan National Army (ANA) soldier has escaped from prison.  He was arrested last week after killing a Slovak-NATO soldier, and wounding at least three others.  The reports say his escape was facilitated by other ANA soldiers!

ISAF reports that a U.S. led NATO troop was killed by “direct fire” in eastern Afghanistan.  Mujahideen have reported killing several U.S./NATO personnel in eastern provinces, but they don’t give enough details regarding how they were killed.

Despite U.S. news media reports saying Mujahideen attacks are down, the Afghan Defense Ministry admitted they are actually up!  Afghan General Zahir Azimi also admitted that currently the Afghan government forces can not handle the increased attacks by Mujahideen.  This is in direct contradiction with ISAF General Heinz Feldmann, who said Afghan government forces were ready to take over from U.S./NATO.

Another ISAF commander, Major General Dieter Warnecke, revealed that U.S. led NATO/ISAF has military plans for Afghanistan past the 2014 pullout date: “Much of this work will continue into the NATO Resolute Support mission in 2015.  I’m convinced about it. Our strong international commitment to this nation and to the Afghan people will endure.”

Officials with the Afghan Defense Ministry say they’ve caught Pakistani troops/insurgents who’ve infiltrated the ANA using fake ANA ID cards!  Afghan General Taj Mohammad Jahid made the announcement on Radio Free Europe.

In Ghazni Province, a 12 years old boy blew himself up with a bicycle bomb near an ANA/NATO military convoy.  He was killed, an Afghan cop was wounded.

In Helmand Province, Nawzad district, Mujahideen say they destroyed a Georgian/ISAF tank, killing the crew.  And in the United Kingdom/United States controlled area, in Sangin town, a British journalist revealed institutionalized sexual abuse of boys by police.  The issue has many Canadian soldiers in therapy.  Canadian soldiers were told to ignore it, and they claim even U.S./U.K-NATO personnel took part in the child sex crimes.  A U.S. Marine Corps Major tried to confront local police about it but was rebuked.  The British journalist spent six years documenting the war under the U.K./U.S., including the sex crimes.  He has released a documentary called This is What Winning Looks Like!  By the way, Sangin town is also considered a major hub of opium production!

In Baghlan Province, Baghlan-e-Markazi District, NATO/ISAF forces conducted home invasions.  One person killed, two kidnapped.

In Kunar Province, reports that people are abandoning their villages because of repeated U.S./NATO airstrikes.

In Nangarhar Province, Jalalabad city, a motorcycle bomb exploded, killing two people and wounding three.  One person killed worked for Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS, domestic spy agency) and the other person killed was a Afghan National Police (ANP) officer.

The Afghanistan National Archives revealed they have 7000 historical documents pertaining to Iran, documents not currently found in Iran.  Afghan officials say they will send Iran digital copies of those documents.

International

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 11-12 July 2013.

In Baghlan Province, Burka District, Boorkeh city, Mujahideen claim they shot down a NATO/ISAF helicopter.  U.S. officials would only confirm that one of their ‘copters made a “hard landing”.  Mujahideen say it was a U.S. Chinook helicopter, and that 27 personnel on board were killed.  The district governor did say the U.S. forces were conducting raids in the area.

In Helmand Province, Nad-e-Ali District, an explosion killed three civilians.  When police showed up to investigate another bomb exploded.  Two cops killed, two wounded.  In Gerishk District, locals reported NATO/ISAF airstrikes killed three eight years old children.

In Herat Province, the three kidnapped employees of the Norwegian Refugee Council were freed. Local police say no ransom was ever demanded, and the hostages were released without any negotiating.

The European Union’s special envoy for Afghanistan, Vygaudas Usackas, said peace talks will not show any progress until 2015.

Iran and Afghanistan have agreed to cooperate in fighting U.S. backed drug smuggling and terrorism: “A peaceful and stable Afghanistan can play an efficient role in the promotion of trade…”-Abbas Araqchi, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia-Pacific Affairs

The United Kingdom announced that it wants to pullout 5200 Red Coats by the end of this year.  However, Defence Minister Philip Hammond said they will be prepared to send troops back into Afghanistan if “additional surges” were needed.

Former U.S. diplomat, Robert Blackwill, warned that Afghanistan could become a proxy war between India and Pakistan, after the 2014 NATO/ISAF pullout.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 09-10 July 2013: Obama threatens to give Karzai what he wants! Iran hangs U.S. backed drug smugglers!

The dumb Obama administration has threatened to do what President Hamid Karzai has been asking for; pull out all U.S. personnel.  Obama was trying to play tough with Karzai, who recently refused to continue with post 2014 troop level negotiations after it was revealed that Obama was negotiating directly with Mujahideen for peace, without involving the Afghan government.  If anybody’s been following my Afghan updates, they would know that Karzai has been demanding full withdrawal of U.S. forces for several years now.  He says the U.S. is the reason for the ongoing violence in Afghanistan.

On the same day, the Mujahideen closed their office in Doha, Qatar.  It’s was that office that was revealed to be the place where Obama officials were going to talk peace with Mujahideen.

In Iran, 12 U.S. backed drug smugglers from Afghanistan were hanged.  As many as 5000 Afghans are in Iranian prisons, most charged with drug trafficking.  Drug smuggling is punishable by life in prison, or death, in Iran.  Drug smuggling from Afghanistan to Iran has skyrocketed since the U.S. invasion at the end of 2001.

In Uruzgan Province, the former district governor for Char Chino District was assassinated by Mujahideen.  The assassins escaped.  Officials said the former district governor had tried to avoid contact with government officials for the past year.

In Kandahar Province, Slovak/NATO troops were shot at by a Afghan National Army (ANA) soldier, at Kandahar airbase.  Slovak military officials reported that one Slovak was killed and six wounded.  The ANA soldier was arrested.  In another report, the provincial governor said three U.S./NATO troops at the airbase were wounded, after an argument with an ANA soldier.   Another report said three Czech/NATO troops were also attacked!

In Herat Province, Obe District, at least 17 people were killed, five wounded after their bus ran over a landmine.

In Helmand Province, Khanshin District, two people killed, three wounded, after they drove over a landmine.  In Musa Kala District, 10 ANA troops joined the Mujahideen.  And after 20 days of attack by Mujahideen, the ANA withdrew from their base in Sangin District.

U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) revealed that the United States government has spent $34 million U.S. tax dollars on a massive headquarters complex that will probably never be used!

In Paktika Province, Barmal District, an ANA soldier joined the Mujahideen then shot and killed three ANA soldiers while they were sleeping.

In Kunduz Province, Dashti Archi District, U.S. supported Afghan government contracted security forces murdered three civilians who refused to pay a tax on agricultural produce.

In Paktia Province, Chamkani District, 10 ANA soldiers joined the Mujahideen.

In Ghazni Province, Mujahideen claim they prevented a planned NATO/ISAF offensive by striking first.  They say they attacked a military convoy that left Ghazni city for the offensive, killing or wounding 19 NATO/ISAF personnel, and destroying four armored vehicles.  Mujahideen launched several attacks on the convoy, the last one lasting four hours.  Three Mujahideen killed.

 Baghlan Province, Adarab District, seven Afghan National Police (ANP) joined the Mujahideen.

Zabul Province, Seyuri District, reports that NATO/ISAF forces invaded homes in the Shah Beal village.  Two civilians killed.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 07-08 July 2013: Corrupt U.S. contractor refuses to pay Afghan sub-contractors!

Major battles in Maidan Wardak, Kabul, Kunar, Jawzjan, Nangarhar, Baghlan, Kunduz, Faryab, Uruzgan, Logar, Ghazni, Farah, Helmand and Paktia provinces.  Mujahideen claim they killed 30 Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers.  Afghan government officials claim they killed 100 Mujahideen.  Afghan government officials added that U.S./NATO air strikes were called in.

In Parwan Province, Bagram airbase, reports that two groups of ANA soldiers turned their guns on each other.  Three people killed, several wounded.

In Maidan Wardak Province, Sayed Abad District, Mujahideen say they destroyed 19 supply vehicles and killed 14 people.  Mujahideen say their ambush of the U.S./NATO supply convoy took place at several points through out the district.  One engagement lasted three hours. One Mujahid killed, one wounded.

Afghan Major-General Mohammad Sharif Yaftali, admits that Mujahideen numbers have increased by 15%.  He says there are at least 5000 Mujahideen in seven southeastern provinces.  He also says there are increased foreign fighters helping the Mujahideen, mainly from Pakistan and Chechnya.

In Kandahar Province, an Afghan interpreter who was working with U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) was arrested in connection to the kidnapping and torture deaths of Afghan civilians.  U.S. SOF was behind the war crimes, a mass grave was found next to an abandoned U.S. SOF base, which contained the bodies of some of the kidnapped Afghans.  Afghan police say the arrested interpreter is seen in a video taking part in the torture deaths of the victims.

Despite Indian government officials denying Afghanistan lethal military  aid, reports say the two governments are still in discussions for India “to contribute lethal weapons” and to “enhance” military cooperation.

Iranian officials say they are holding political discussions with the government of Afghanistan: “There are issues over which Tehran and Kabul need to regularly hold talks and be in touch about them. General relations between the two countries will be discussed…”-Abbas Araqchi, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia and Pacific Affairs

In Ghazni Province, Deh Yak District, two people killed, and three people wounded, including the provincial high peace council chief, when a remote detonated bomb exploded.  In Khogyani District, Mujahideen claim to have killed 19 U.S./NATO/ISAF troops during an ambush of a military convoy.  In Maqur District, reports that NATO/Afghan forces conducted a home invasion, killing three people.

In Baghlan Province, Burqa District, reports that NATO/Afghan forces raided a Madrasa and kidnapped three students.

After announcing big funding for Afghanistan, Norway is now backing off.  Norwegian officials are now using the excuse of failed Afghan reforms to get out of promised taxpayer funding for the Afghan government: “Norwegian authorities note with disappointment the slow and uneven progress that has characterized the follow-up to the commitments made.”

More proof the corruption is on the U.S. side: In Kabul Province, Kabul city, Afghan civilians protested the U.S. owned contractor Supreme Group.  The Afghans work for a subcontractor called Afghan Mansoor Jalal Logistics and Transportation Company (MLC).  The subcontractor says Supreme Group is refusing to pay them!  The owners of MLC says Supreme Group owes them $20 million USD!  Supreme Group is a U.S. taxpayer funded contractor providing logistical support to military units.  Supreme Group is also involved in a no-bid contract scandal involving military food supply.
