Estonian defense minister dismisses pullout from Afghanistan
29 June 2011
***************
Tallinn. Estonia will not take the option to pullout its troops in Afghanistan although "several countries, along with the U.S., have begun decreasing their troop numbers in Afghanistan", Xinhua informs.
"There is no point for us to start playing politics with this, or in other words, chop up our unit (Estcoy 12) and thus jeopardize the lives of Estonian soldiers," Estonian Defense Minister Mart Laar said.
A few days ago, Laar returned from a visit to Afghanistan, where eight Estonian soldiers have died since the country sent its troops there in 2003. He has witnessed with his "own eyes," that real, successful steps in the fight against the Taliban have been taken. He said that it is justified that some countries has begun their drawdown of troop level.
"It can be said in advance that (further troop drawdown) will apparently take place. But if we look at everything that is happening, then shrinking units does not mean that the units that are actually doing the fighting, if you will, are being pulled out; rather, it is the extra, supporting technical contingent that is being pulled out," said Laar.
In this fall, Estonian Parliament will have to extend its mandate for the country's mission to Afghanistan.
"We can either leave together or stay for some time," said Deputy Chairman of the National Defense Committee in Parliament Aivar Riisalu, a member of the opposition Center Party. "The question is for how long." The Center, Riisalu said, will carefully consider whether to vote for extending the mission, but Parliament must act in a balanced manner when making the decision.
Estonian Defense Forces have been present in Afghanistan since 2003. Since 2006, Estonians have been fighting under the British Command Task Force in Helmand. In addition to eight casualties, over 60 Estonian military personnel have been wounded.

Taliban split: Pakistan warlord 'defects from TTP' -said he had run out of patience with the network for killing civilians.
PESHAWAR: A Pakistani Taliban warlord who claims to control hundreds of foot soldiers said Monday he had broken with the militia and would form his own anti-American group along the Afghan border.
Fazal Saeed described himself as the leader of Pakistan’s umbrella Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) faction in the tribal district of Kurram, but said he had run out of patience with the network for killing civilians.
TTP has claimed a series of high-profile attacks in the nearly two months since US troops killed Osama bin Laden.
Hinting at a possible a split in Pakistan’s deadliest militant outfit, blamed for more than 4,500 deaths in attacks since July 2007, Saeed said he had decided to form a new organisation — Tehreek-e-Taliban Islami.
“I repeatedly told the leadership council of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan that they should stop suicide attacks against mosques, markets and other civilian targets,” Saeed told AFP by telephone.
“Islam does not allow killings of innocent civilians in suicide attacks,” he said, likening what TTP does in Pakistan to “what US troops are doing in Afghanistan” and vowing to continue the fight alone against the Americans.
“I have therefore decided to quit TTP,” Saeed said, claiming to have defected along with “hundreds of supporters.”
A 10-member consultative council will meet within days to formulate the group’s programme, he told AFP.
Saeed said he was TTP leader in Kurram, one of seven districts in Pakistan’s tribal belt known as havens of Taliban and al Qaeda linked groups fighting US and NATO forces across the border in Afghanistan.
He denied that his defection had anything to do with the government, or Pakistani intelligence and security agencies.
“I have no links with them,” Saeed said, adding that he considered America as “our main enemy” and describing attacks on foreign troops in Afghanistan as “justified.”
He said his goal was to enforce sharia law and Islamic rule in Afghanistan and Pakistan, claiming that he had supporters all over Pakistan.
Kurram is unique in that its upper part has a Shiite Muslim majority while its lower reaches are dominated by Sunni Muslims. There have been outbreaks of sectarian violence between the two communities.
Shiite travellers to Peshawar and adjoining cities have often been attacked by groups of Sunni militants backed by the Taliban.http://tribune.com.pk/story/197356/taliban-split-pakistan-warlord-defects-f

11 Civilians killed in Afghanistan - President Karzai Condems the Attack
KABUL, Afghanistan (June 29, 2011) – The International Security Assistance Force joins President Karzai and the Ministry of the Interior in condemning the attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul last night. ISAF also commends the rapid response by Afghan security forces who cleared the building and secured the situation.
“We join President Karzai in condemning this cowardly attack on Afghan civilians,” said Rear Admiral Vic Beck, ISAF Director of Public Affairs. “Even though insurgents have declared their intention to avoid civilian casualties, this attack put Afghan lives at risk and demonstrates their complete disregard for the Afghan people.”
Afghan police and security forces responded quickly and professionally to clear the area, demonstrating their ability to defeat the insurgents and protect Afghans in jeopardy. Initial Afghan reports indicate as many as 10 were killed and eight wounded during the suicide attacks.
“This attack will do nothing to prevent the security transition process from moving forward,” said Rear Admiral Beck. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the dead and injured.”
AFGHANISTAN - Jerome Starkey reports from Kabul. Taliban suicide bombers and gunmen staged an all-out offensive on a top Kabul hotel Tuesday, sparking a five-hour battle with security forces which saw seven people killed. The attack came on the eve of a conference to discuss Afghan takeover plans.
