Afghanistan's 'weekend jihadis'

published by You on 11 September, 2009 - 07:35

In the villages of Afghanistan, many young men are working for the government during the week, but fighting for the Taliban at weekends.

"We don't get paid," says Gul Mohammad.

"It's voluntary - all for the sake of God. We even buy fuel for the operations ourselves. And our own ammunition and bullets."

Gul Mohammad (his name changed to protect his identity) is not what you might think of as a typical Taliban fighter.

He is educated, in his 20s, married with children and, during the week, he works in a government office.

"I'm a civil servant - that's how I support my family, with my salary and by growing wheat, here in the village.

Divestment can work

published by You on 9 September, 2009 - 07:31

The targeted boycotting of businesses involved in Israel's occupation of the Palestinian Territories is legitimate

The Norwegian government's divestment from Elbit Systems is an entirely appropriate response to Elbit's business involvement with the occupation of the West Bank. Despite the howls of protest from Israeli officials, the Norwegians' decision is a principled stand, which bears the closest of scrutiny, especially when viewed in the context of previous decisions by the country's council of ethics regarding state investments.

Russia denies Arctic Sea was carrying arms destined for Iran

published by You on 9 September, 2009 - 07:18

Russia today categorically denied media reports that the Arctic Sea ‑ the Russian cargo ship apparently hijacked by pirates ‑ had been carrying a secret cargo of anti-aircraft weapons destined for Iran.

Its foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, dismissed claims made in Russian and British newspapers that the ship was concealing a delivery of the S-300, Russia's most advanced anti-aircraft system. The arms had been loaded on to the ship in Russia's Baltic port of Kaliningrad, the reports said.

Lavrov called the claims an "absolute lie". He promised that Moscow would carry out its own investigation into the boat, which vanished after passing through the Channel on 28 July, apparently carrying a £1.1m cargo of Finnish timber.
