The Islamic Emirate Of Afghanistan:
48 hour Kandahar Operation, A Complete Report

Jamadi-ul-Thani 06, 1432 A.H, Tuesday, 10 May 2011

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

An operation carried out by Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate in Kandahar city on Saturday, where various enemy military bases and centers were targeted, came to an end on Monday afternoon as per plan.

First day

Last Saturday at around 01:00 pm, Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate, as part of their spring offensive (Badar operation) commenced their assault on key enemy military centers in Kandahar city. Some of the main and important targets included the Governor house, Intelligence headquarters, a military base by the name of Jandarma and Municipality, which were brought under fire at the same time by Islamic Emirate’s Martyrdom Seeking Mujahideen utilizing various methods. Mujahideen also carried out controlled bomb blasts, hand grenade and armed attacks on other enemy military installations and patrols.

These pre-emptive strikes on enemy facilities in the heart of Kandahar city were very effective as the fighting unfolded early afternoon and lasted till late night time with great ferocity. The city’s foreign and internal security forces lost morale and failed to respond to these audacious attacks. The accumulation of Mujahideen military operation for the first day included more than 112 foreign and internal security personnel killed and wounded as well as nearly 21 enemy vehicles destroyed and damaged while the enemy could only manage to prove their presence through their use of helicopters which hovered at a high altitude. Kandahar’s governor Weesa, head of intelligence General Naeem Momin, head of border police forces Abdul Razziq and other governmental officials cut off all communications and failed to address any news agencies except once, when the governor rejected a rumor of his death through a short telephone call from an underground bunker.

Second day

Mujahideen carried on with their attacks throughout Sunday on Municipality and the Intelligence headquarters. A hotel opposite to the intelligence headquarters was hit by enemy helicopters multiple time as it patrolled the skies all day. At afternoon time, at least 10 US-NATO invaders were killed and wounded when a Mujahid carried out a Martyrdom attack on their gathering close to the intelligence headquarters. The attack on Jandarma once again heated up on Sunday as Mujahideen attacked enemy reinforcements which arrived at the area. Like the previous day, the enemy forces in various areas like near Eidgah, Ahmad Shah Baba Darwaza, Hazratji Baba, Madad Chawk, Shkarpur Darwaza and Dand roundabout were targeted by Mujahideen through ambushes and IED attacks, the sounds of which could be heard all over the city and according to plan, the operation was brought to an end nearly 48 hours later on Monday afternoon. More than 17 security personnel were killed and wounded in Jandarma besides many vehicle destroyed during the second day of the operation.

Details about the operation

The nearly 2 day and night operation in Kandahar city was considered as the most spectacular and successful operation even by the local and international media. This operation took place at a time when the enemy security forces bragged about their preparedness a couple of days earlier. The mentioned operation put a dent in the face of foreign forces and their internal puppets claims and their status was brought to naught in the eyes of the world.

Mujahideen challenged the international invading and internal forces for 48 hours and showed a spectacle to its countrymen and the world about the enemy’s feebleness and lagging morale. The citizens of Kandahar city also saw how the governor and other officials including military generals were only concerned about themselves or about fleeing. If on the one hand the enemy suffered great losses in this operation, on the other hand it proved the fallacy of the enemy claims about breaking the force of Mujahideen in Kandahar city. It must also be mentioned that the Mujahid citizens of Kandahar city were standing shoulder to shoulder with Mujahideen and employed different tactics to attack the enemy.

As a policy of war, the enemy once again deployed their media machine and banned all free journalists on reporting the truth while at the same time lied about civilian casualties caused by Mujahideen. It should be mentioned that only governmental facilities were targeted by Mujahideen in their operation hence no civilians were harmed. The enemy also talked about civilian casualties being reported from Mirwaise hospital, which rejected these statements by contacting Alemarah website and said that they were never even reached by the government or international forces for comments.
