Author: Mahfuz
In his book on Mullah Mohammad Omar, Mark James writes:
“Mohammad Omar was admitted to the Quetta Council in 1978 (in the city of Quetta, Baluchistan, Pakistan) by Ayaz Shafik, Lieutenant of the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence). Prior to that, Mulla Omar studied religion in Islamic schools in the province of Uruzgan. Mullah Omar, the son of Ghulam Nabi, was born in 1960 in the Khakris region of Kandahar province. Belongs to the Hotak tribe and the Malawi Mohammad Nabi party. In 1979, the ISI sent him back to Afghanistan in the province of Kandahar and fought against the Red Army.”
Democratic Senator Benjamin Ashley, during the administration of Bill Clinton, writes on page 180 of the second volume of his book The Falcon:
“The Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has been hard at work strengthening its position in Afghanistan for several decades and is hiding from the US some specific plans for Afghanistan. But we know that the ISI has planned a second invasion of Afghanistan and this is what the ISI is preparing for the invasion of Afghanistan for the second time.
The director of the al-Qaeda* department at the US Embassy in Islamabad wrote in his book The Twentieth Day in 1989:
“Pakistan army and ISI leaders devised a grand plan to reignite the cauldron in Kabul because they didn't get what they expected from the jihadist organizations that entered Kabul in 1992. And the main goal of the ISI was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who was supposed to take the presidency into his own hands and elect his cabinet. But Jamiate Islami, led by Burhanuddin Rabbani and commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, ruined all plans. Everyone resisted and Mujaddidi, the leader of the National Front, created a transitional government in Kabul, Hizbi Islami, led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, opposed him, and a war broke out in Kabul to seize power. It was from here that the ISI created a new organization led by Mullah Tarakhel and Hamid Karzai to achieve its second goal. It established a new body in Peshawar and Quetta called the Kabul Council. Six months later, the council became the Taliban group.
Colonel Shahid Reza, director of the M1 branch of al-Qaeda (ISI), who is a senior adviser to Osama bin Laden and is in charge of finances, brought together a number of members of Hezbi Islami and al-Qaeda to create a large organization called the Taliban. He included jihadist commanders in this organization and Hamid Karzai from the Mujaddadi party and Mullah Mohammad Omar from the Mawlawi Mohammad Nabi party were elected as its leaders. Later, due to the disagreement of Osama bin Laden and Mawlawi Tarakhel, Hamid Karzai was removed from the leadership and Mullah Mohammad Omar became the leader. Colonel Shahid Reza provided the financial resources for the new organization Taliban at the expense of Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden, a billionaire from Saudi Arabia, was highly respected by the Pakistani military and ISI leaders. At that time, his money accounts in international banks were blocked by the governments of Saudi Arabia, the US, the UK, and some other countries. Colonel Shahid Reza was able to pour all of Osama's money into his bank account in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other Arab countries because he was his senior adviser and the only person Osama trusted. All of Al Qaeda's overseas plans were planned by Colonel Shahid Reza."
Mark James writes in his book:
“The Pakistani military and the ISI were deeply immersed in the idea that all of Pakistan was filled with extremist al-Qaeda nests and networks. How could they escape this situation? They were afraid that all of a sudden these groups would take action against Pakistan within Pakistan. What they laid down to create jihad against Afghanistan, they thought from the very beginning to transfer it back to Afghanistan. This time, the formation of a new organization called the Taliban in Afghanistan had four main goals, and in accordance with this, the group was strengthened and entered Afghanistan for these four goals.
1 - The gathering of a group of known and trained terrorists of the al-Qaeda network in Pakistan and their integration into the ranks of the Taliban and the transfer of the al-Qaeda network to Afghanistan and the transformation of Afghanistan into a permanent center of the al-Qaeda network.
2 - Assassination or capture of Burhanuddin Rabbani and Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, as well as some other commanders and jihadist organizations, the Islamic Unity Party (Hazaras), and the Dostum Islamic Movement (Uzbeks).
3 - to destroy with the hands of the Taliban the famous leaders of the northern provinces, take under control poppy cultivation in the northern provinces of Afghanistan and its smuggling to the countries of Central Asia and Iran, since the ISI annually earned millions of dollars from the cultivation and smuggling of drugs in the eastern and southern provinces of Afghanistan.
4 - Re-signing of the Durand Line by former Afghan President Dr. Najibullah, who took refuge in the United Nations office. This is Pakistan's main goal in the civil war comes from. To this end, it organized jihadist organizations in order to be able to take control of Afghanistan and one day formally sign the Durand Line from the side of Afghanistan.
Mark James gives the details:
“With the advent of the Taliban and the establishment of an Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, the world began to wonder who is the real leader of this group?
The US Embassy has access to the most stringent secret and operational ISI documents, which include an agreement between Colonel Shahid Reza, director of the Al Qaeda department, Osama bin Laden and Mullah Mohammad Omar before leaving Pakistan for Afghanistan, and includes 54 articles. This protocol was signed by the head of the ISI, General Asad Durrani, Osama bin Laden, and Mullah Mohammad Omar, and I will give a few parts:
1 - The determination of the domestic and foreign policy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is in the hands of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which is received and controlled by ISI Special Representative Colonel Shahid Reza. None of you has the right to interfere and make a decision. You, Mullah Mohammad Omar, are obligated to follow the orders of Colonel Shahid Reza.
2 - You, Mullah Mohammad Omar, are not allowed to give interviews to foreign and domestic journalists through the press, and Afghan television and you are not allowed to publish your photo, you are required to hide your face.
3 - You, Mullah Mohammad Omar, are obligated not to reveal secrets about the Pakistani infantry division 0019T, which enters Afghanistan with you and moves to the provinces of Kandahar, Helmand, and Uruzgan, and then under the name of the Taliban moves to Kabul and the northern provinces.
4 - You, Mullah Mohammad Omar, have only the task of Islamic propaganda for your circle on behalf of the leader of the Taliban. You do not have any government authority to appoint members of the Islamic government. All internal and external duties are the responsibility of the High Representative, ISI Colonel Shahid Reza, and your name is mentioned in the letters of the Islamic Emirate, and you only sign.
5 - ISI is allowed to mine a uranium mine in Helmand province and transfer it to Pakistan, and the Islamic Emirate will not charge it.
6 - The Islamic Emirate receives its expenses from the cultivation of drugs and their smuggling to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Russia, and Iran. In this part, the 0019T Pakistani infantry division with the Islamic Emirate advances into the northern provinces and, after conquering these provinces, grows drugs in them.
7 - If you and your relatives disclose the details of the above protocol, in which there are 54 articles and which you signed and fingerprinted, a great responsibility falls on the guilty person.
