[The following are two statements from the Afghan 
Liberation Organization and one from the 
Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan 
(RAWA). MIM has verified their authenticity. In 
particular, the ALO has a web site and their 
documents are available there--although sometimes 
their website is overwhelmed with hits and new 
visitors are not accepted.]

Apparently the ALO has some illusions about the 
"powerful working class" of the United $tates as 
stopping the war. We question whether the ALO has 
a good sense of the balance of forces if it says 
something like that. Nonetheless, it opposes the 
war and capitalism.

MIM would say it is in a process of struggle with 
the ALO, so again, we have some differences, but 
we present these documents to speed up the 
struggle--International Minister, MIM]

At last the day approached for the Islamist 
terrorist monster to devour its creator. However, 
it is not the creator but the innocent American 
people that are paying the price for the bloody 
act of the monster. The horrible criminal attack 
of 11th Sep. on New York and Washington struck 
thousands of Americans and non-Americans and made 
them mournful. Afghanistan Liberation Organization 
which has been struggling against the most rabid 
section of these forces and has lost its leader 
and tens of its outstanding cadres and members in 
the plots and terrorist attacks of the mentioned 
criminals, understands well the dimensions of 
the11th September horrific incident. And for this, 
it expresses its deep sympathy with the families 
and friends of the victims and with the US people 
as a whole.

In response to the attack, the US government is 
preparing for an unprecedented war, a war with 
Osama and Taliban as its foremost targets. But do 
the majority of the American people know that the 
creator and trainer of the dirtiest Afghan 
terrorist groups as well as Osama since 20 years 
is no one else but the US government itself? Do 
they know that US government could destroy all 
these terrorists and heroine-kings exactly the way 
it did with Noriega of Panama if it paid the least 
attention and concern about the far-reaching 
interests of the American and Afghan people and 
democratic values and human rights? The US didn't 
do because it wanted to use them as its running 
dogs during the cold war.

Now as the religious terrorism has reared its 
degusting head and slap in the face of its 
yesterday's mentor, the US government shouldn't 
take the revenge of the appalling attack from the 
people of Afghanistan, the people who have already 
been terrorized, looted and impoverished by the 
Northern Alliance, Taliban and Osamas. None of the 
media in the West explains when, how and by whom 
the Islamist terrorists were created, trained and 
equipped, because in this way the one who has to 
be held responsible by the people of America in 
nobody else but those at the very helm of the US.

Apparently America, at first thought that through 
fostering the fundamentalist groups in Afghanistan 
it could obtain a base in the heart of Asia for 
achieving its political and economic aims. But it 
seems that the control of most of these religious 
hired murderers is no longer in the hand of the 
US. And they, possessing vast financial sources 
and a safe haven such as Afghanistan are going to 
wage a "crusade", to which Mr. Bush has also 
indicated

The ruling classes of America, without considering 
the interests of the majority of the US people, 
are not taking the incident of 11th September as a 
warning to completely wash its hands off the 
fundamentalist organizations and regimes, let 
alone their elimination. On the contrary, they 
want to exploit it as a favorable opportunity to 
suppress the oppressed nations and anti-
imperialism and anti-reactionary liberation 
movements. And by doing so, it not only will solve 
its domestic quarrel with the Islamist 
fundamentalists in its favor but also strengthen 
and stabilize its undisputed domination on the 
world and whitewash its vulnerability. 

In addition, US, through this new pretext, tries 
to suppress and hold back the ever-increasing of 
anti-war and anti-globalization movements within 
America and in its Western allies which brings 
under question the very principle of capitalist 
system.

Though even in Muslim countries, most people don't 
support the fundamentalist Islamists, the US blind 
retaliatory act could change the situation in 
favor of the fundamentalist forces. Nonetheless, 
we hope that with the fading of today's emotions, 
the US government, under the pressure of people, 
especially the powerful working class of the US, 
won't find it possible to add fuel to the 
religious contradictions in the world and as a 
consequence further vitalize the religious and 
non-religious reactionary forces by its 
militaristic policies. 

Afghanistan Liberation Organization (ALO) which 
has been engaged in struggle against the dirty 
religious creatures of US, Iran, Pakistan and some 
other Islamic countries for years, now too will 
continue its struggle against the Taliban and 
other reactionary bands till the end. Liberation 
of Afghanistan is not possible unless the setups 
dependent to Pakistan and criminal regimes of 
Iran, Saudi Arabia etc. are overthrown. 

Cooperation of the Afghan and other people of the 
world is the only way for a successful and 
effective struggle against religious terrorism. 
And it is the task of all proletarian and 
revolutionary movements of America and other 
developed capitalist countries to practically 
demonstrate their inspiring impact and presence in 
the current showdown of religious terrorists and 
their yesterday's masters by securing a militant 
solidarity with the progressive movements in 
underdeveloped and backward countries and in the 
first place Afghanistan.

Aggression Of US Imperialism On Afghanistan Should 
Be Responded With The Destruction Of Its Taliban 
And Jehadi Lackeys!

Afghanistan and Sudan was the target of US missile 
attacks some days ago, proving once again its 
hostile and aggressive nature. The targets were 
apparently to destroy terrorist camps especially 
those of Saudi born Osama bin Laden. 

Imposing war and bullying weaker countries is in 
the nature of imperialism without which it cannot 
continue its aggressive and parasitic life. American 
imperialism, which has been using the pretext of 
human rights and democracy against its opponents 
whenever it suited her, is surprisingly very quick 
in annihilating humans and supporting the most 
tyrannical and brutal regimes in order to reach 
its selfish interests. The fundamentalist 
terrorists who are committing the most horrible 
crimes in Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan, Algeria and 
other Muslim countries were trainees of CIA who 
supported them financially and militarily 
especially in the last two decades. These were 
proven by American fact finding sources working on 
the trail of Egyptian Sheikh Omar and his 
terrorist gang and numerous other sources. Osama 
bin Landen is only a rebellious pawn and they have 
decided to punish him for daring to rebel against 
the master's orders, of course under the name of 
"antiterrorist action"! This despite the fact that 
the United States supports fundamentalist 
terrorists in Algeria, Palestine, Lebanon, 
Afghanistan, etc. as long as they are useful for 
the US's plans. Traditionally the CIA is nice to 
its servants until they are no longer useful, or 
become lazy or rebellious servants, in which case 
they become disposable, e.g. Noriega of Panama. 

The same thing was witnessed in Afghanistan when 
the US armed and supported Golbuddin and other 
fundamentalists to the teeth, but when the people 
found them intolerable and excessively disgusting, 
they were quickly replace by new lackeys --the 
Taliban. US could easily wipe out Osama bin Laden 
if it wanted to. Isn't he living under the 
protection of their agents? If the US is really 
against terrorism why does it not strike him in 
the arms of his protectors who are following the 
steps of Jehadi traitors and are even more extreme 
in their dependency, backwardness and terror-
mongering. But the US is not whole-heartedly 
against terrorism, she is only angered by her mad 
dogs. With this attack on Afghanistan and Sudan, 
the US also wanted to send the message to her 
western rivals, especially France, that after the 
establishment of Taliban, Afghanistan has entered 
into its domain and they shouldn't try in vain to 
revive Rabbani, Masood and Company. This attack 
was a good opportunity for Iran where overnight 
the "great Satan" became transformed into the 
"great saviour". Iranian fundamentalists are 
trying to hide the crimes and ineptness of their 
regime by diverting the people's attention towards 
a war with Afghanistan and in this way save the 
crisis- and fatigue-stricken Islamic Republic from 
the inferno of a mass uprising by the freedom 
loving people of Iran. It devolves upon the 
revolutionary forces in Iran and Afghanistan to 
change the direction of this situation through 
coordination and understanding from that of 
conflict between two criminal religious groups to 
that of a freedom struggle and a struggle against 
Taliban fascism and "Vilayat-e-Faqeeh" theocracy 
under the slogan of "Down with Iranian regime and 
down with Taliban and Jehadi regimes". We believe 
that only the destruction of fundamentalism will 
hinder the hands of Imperialism and reactionaries 
from exploiting our country and only success of a 
democratic revolution would give us the power to 
stop the blatant aggression of Imperialism and its 
reactionary lackeys on our land. Our people who 
taught a lesson to Russia and its Khalqi and 
Parchami servants will not let the traitorous 
crimes of fundamentalists go without punishment. 

Down with Imperialism and its fundamentalist 
lackeys! 
Long live unity between our ethnic 
groups!

RAWA statement on the terrorist attacks in the US 


The people of Afghanistan have nothing to do with 
Osama and his accomplices On September 11, 2001 
the world was stunned with the horrific terrorist 
attacks on the United States. RAWA stands with the 
rest of the world in expressing our sorrow and 
condemnation for this barbaric act of violence and 
terror. RAWA had already warned that the United 
States should not support the most treacherous, 
most criminal, most anti-democracy and anti-women 
Islamic fundamentalist parties because after both 
the Jehadi and the Taliban have committed every 
possible type of heinous crimes against our 
people, they would feel no shame in committing 
such crimes against the American people whom they 
consider "infidel". 

In order to gain and maintain 
their power, these barbaric criminals are ready to 
turn easily to any criminal force. But 
unfortunately we must say that it was the 
government of the United States who supported 
Pakistani dictator Gen. Zia-ul Haq in creating 
thousands of religious schools from which the 
germs of Taliban emerged. In the similar way, as 
is clear to all, Osama Bin Laden has been the 
blue-eyed boy of CIA. But what is more painful is 
that American politicians have not drawn a lesson 
from their pro-fundamentalist policies in our 
country and are still supporting this or that 
fundamentalist band or leader. In our opinion any 
kind of support to the fundamentalist Taliban and 
Jehadies is actually trampling democratic, women's 
rights and human rights values. 

If it is established that the suspects of the terrorist 
attacks are outside the US, our constant claim 
that fundamentalist terrorists would devour their 
creators, is proved once more. The US government 
should consider the root cause of this terrible 
event, which has not been the first and will not 
be the last one too. The US should stop supporting 
Afghan terrorists and their supporters once and 
for all. Now that the Taliban and Osama are the 
prime suspects by the US officials after the 
criminal attacks, will the US subject Afghanistan 
to a military attack similar to the one in 1998 
and kill thousands of innocent Afghans for the 
crimes committed by the Taliban and Osama? Does 
the US think that through such attacks, with 
thousands of deprived, poor and innocent people of 
Afghanistan as its victims, will be able to wipe 
out the root-cause of terrorism, or will it spread 
terrorism even to a larger scale? From our point 
of view a vast and indiscriminate military attacks 
on a country that has been facing permanent 
disasters for more than two decades will not be a 
matter of pride. We don't think such an attack 
would be the expression of the will of the 
American people. The US government and people 
should know that there is a vast difference 
between the poor and devastated people of 
Afghanistan and the terrorist Jehadi and Taliban 
criminals. While we once again announce our 
solidarity and deep sorrow with the people of the 
US, we also believe that attacking Afghanistan and 
killing its most ruined and destitute people will 
not in any way decrease the grief of the American 
people. We sincerely hope that the great American 
people could DIFFERENTIATE between the people of 
Afghanistan and a handful of fundamentalist 
terrorists. 

Our hearts go out to the people of the 
US. Down with terrorism!
