Remarks of Zabihullah Mujahid, Spokesman of
the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,
Regarding the Establishment of District Governor’s Office at
the Premises of Basic Health Unit in Laghman Province
Rabi-us-Sani 29, 1432 A.H, Monday, April 04, 2011
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.
Bad Pash area, which was previous part of Mehtarlam, the provincial center, has been given status of a new administrative unit and named as a district. Mujahideen had been having active presence in the area before that.
The Kabul Administration is intending to
deploy detachments of foreign and local troops there to
protect the district center. But the district is lacking
building to house the central office of the district, so the
American troops and the mercenary hirelings now use the
building of the basic health unit as the district headquarter
office while , in fact, tens of people come to the clinic for
treatment daily. The health basic unit having been transformed
into building of the district headquarter and a military base
now, the Mujahideen have to attack it. Therefore, we call on
human rights advocacy entities and Heads of world health
program and the Red Cross to condemn this illegal step of the
Kabul Administration and the foreign troops stationed in the
country and urge them not to use public installations and
health centers as shields for furthering their military goals.
If they fail to do so, then the future responsibility of
damage to the health clinic (currently headquarter of the
district) will solely rest with the opposition side, because
the Mujahideen will have no option except attacking it.
Unfortunately, they use a completely public installation,
particularly a health clinic, which is being used by the
common people as a shield. It is similar to the behavior of
the foreign invaders who utilize communication antenna posts
for spying while, in fact, they had been erected purely for
commercial purposes and for public service. It was the reason
that Mujahideen were compelled to order the networks to stop
functioning during the night and, in some areas, during the
day. The purpose was to save lives of the common people
because the antenna network help in facilitating American
aerial bombardment and night raids. As a result, the invaders
callously martyr people, destroy their houses and properties.
Even in the past, the enemy have frequently resorted to
converting buildings of schools and seminaries into military
centers and posts. When Mujahideen attack these military
centers, the NGOs which are funded by NATO, raise their hue
and cries, trying to project Mujahideen as having attacked a
purely educational center. It seems they will use the clinics
for the same propaganda stunt.
