'Co-ordinated attacks' hit Afghan city
Sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard coming from near the provincial governor's heavily guarded compound on Saturday, as well as from four other locations in the city. Hospital sources in the city told Al Jazeera that 12 people had been injured in the attacks so far - three of them were members of the police, and the rest were civilians.
Gunmen were holed up in a five-storey shopping mall, and traded fire with security forces at the governor's compound, with the Associated Press reporting that fighting was focusing on the rear of the compound, near the governor's residence.
An Afghan government spokesperson said that in all six suicide attacks had taken place across the city.
"So far there have been 10 explosions in Kandahar today. We have confirmation that six of the explosions have been suicide attacks," Zalmay Ayubi told AFP.
"Small arms fire is still going on. Two RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades] have been fired onto the [governor's compound] so far. The northern and eastern sides of the compound are under direct attack," Ayubi said.
An explosion was heard at governor Tooryalai Wesa's compound, while another was heard several minutes later in the west of the city. Black smoke was seen rising from the compound, a witness told Reuters.
James Bays, Al Jazeera's correspondent in the capital, Kabul, reported that the RPGs landed 300m from the compound. It was not immediately clear whether Wesa was in the compound.
Local authorities have blocked journalists from accessing the site, as fighting is continuing.
Bays reported that shooting had also been reported from near the city's intelligence headquarters, from an Afghan Civil Order Police (ANCOP) compound in the city's eastern District Five, and also from near a jail in the west of the city where the Taliban had last month helped hundreds of inmates escape.
Firing was also reported from near a school and police station on the road to Camp Gecko, a US Special Forces base built on the site of Osama bin Laden's former home in Kandahar. That gunbattle was taking place in the northwest of the city, in District Eight.
It was not clear if the shooting near the Kandahar headquarters of the Afghan intelligence service was targeting that building, or the nearby traffic police headquarters.
At the ANCOP compound, police said they shot two would-be suicide bombers, Bays reported.
Ahmed Wali Karzai, the chairman of the provincial council, told Al Jazeera that authorities were attempting to bring the situation under control, but that Taliban fighters were still hiding at some of the attack sites.
'Spring offensive'
Last week, the Taliban announced the start of their "spring offensive" against US-led coalition troops and the Afghan government.
Kandahar, the Taliban's birthplace, has been the focus of military operations for the last year, with commanders saying they have made gains, but qualifying successes by terming them "fragile" and "reversible".
In a message released on Friday, the Taliban warned that this week's killing of Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda's leader, would give their fight against foreign and Afghan forces "a new impetus".

Jamie Woon - Live at Boiler Room, London
With his celestial voice, ethereal future folk textures, and exceptional songwriting, Academy '08 alumnus Jamie Woon has become the undisputed voice of the post-dubstep generation. He first caught the attention of the likes of mystical producer Burial back in 2007, with his unearthly take on spiritual folk classic 'The Wayfaring Stranger'. Now signed to Polydor, and with one of the most eagerly anticipated album releases of 2011 under his belt, the future looks even brighter for this modern-day troubadour who just scored another massive underground hit with his captivating ode to nocturnal strolls, Night Air. This show was recorded at the official launch party for his debut LP 'Mirrorwriting' at London's Corsica Studios, in cooperation with Boiler Room. Just get yourself into these sounds for about two seconds, and you will know what the whole world is fussing about – including the BBC, who named Jamie one of the main artists to watch out for in their ‘Sounds Of 2011’ list. It's the year of the Woon!
BNP suffers election meltdown
As Billy Bragg just remarked over at Facebook:Whatever the outcome of the AV referendum, we have something to celebrate today - The BNP have been heavily defeated across England. Well done to Hope Not Hate and everyone else who was out there campaigning against them. The massive blow which we struck against them this time last year looks like it may prove to have been terminal.
10 reasons the AV referendum was lost (GB2011)
No one ever claimed that Guardian readers were representative of the wider population, but compare the referendum result with the views you expressed in our own survey a couple of years ago, and you could be forgiven for thinking that planet Guardian exists in an entirely different universe. At the height of the expenses crisis, 5,000 of you gave your views on a new politics, and by a country mile you said that the top priority had to be fixing the voting system. Well, the nation has now had its say on electoral reform of a type, and has decisively flipped its thumbs down.
But this is not, in fact, a case of a chasm between those branded the chattering classes by their detractors, and the wider population. A year ago, opinion polls were suggesting strong support for the general idea of reform, and even recording double-digit leads for the particular option of the alternative vote, which has now been so squarely rejected. So there was a chance for change, but that chance was blown. Here is a quick top 10 of the reasons why. As with the hit parade, we will work our way up from the bottom, until we reach the top spot in the blame game.
10. The referendum format. A yes/no plebiscite reliably puts reformers on the defensive. Instead of attacking the status quo in general terms, which is always easy to do, they must suddenly pin their colours to the particular change on offer on the ballot paper, in this case the alternative vote, and then stick by it – warts and all. Australia's referendum on the republic in 1999 provides a case study of how an impulse for change can dissipate over the detail, as voters fretted about whether they wanted the sort of presidency on offer, or a directly elected one instead.
9. In this context, the alternative vote system itself posed particular problems. Infamously dismissed by Nick Clegg as "a miserable little compromise", it is loved by no one, with most of the yes camp hankering for reform that links a party's tally of votes to its tally of seats, something AV fails to deliver. Few Labourites, and no Lib Dems, regard AV as an end itself. It scarcely mattered that from the reformist point of view it is unambiguously better than the system we start out with. What did matter was that the reformists could not muster the energy to market something that they did not truly believe in.
8. Leaflets from the electoral commission, which were designed to explain what the reform would mean to every household with meticulous neutrality, ended up making AV look horrendously complex. The blurb summed up first-past-the-post in just three sentences, while describing AV with an excessively complex example election, which required three diagrams and text that spilled over four pages. The commissioners included entirely superfluous information, such as the fact that the lack of an obligation to rank all of the candidates means an election can, in certain circumstances, be won with less than half the total votes.
7. A bigger blow was dealt by the shockingly deep conservatism of much of the Labour party. Although Gordon Brown had stuck an AV referendum in the last manifesto, candidates never had to declare how they would vote, and when the moment arrived to show their hands half the parliamentary party turned out to be against. Labour has always been split on electoral reform, and for the moment the ranks of the naysayers are swelled by intense animosity to coalition government as currently practised, and towards the Lib Dems in particular. Despite the pro-AV leader, Ed Miliband, having stuck his neck out a few times for the yeses, belligerent turns by grumpy old stagers such as John Reid and David Blunkett have created the impression that the people's party has no interest in giving the people more of a say.
6. And then there is the rather less shocking conservatism of the Tories. David Cameron had signalled he would be quite relaxed about the whole thing, and there were a few rumours that some modernising Conservative ministers would support AV. But after his backbenchers and backwoodsmen made plain this was one thing they would not wear, Cameron threw both the Tory machine and the considerable Tory bankbook at the operation. Obedience is the Conservative creed and before long the polls were showing decisively that Conservative voters were falling back into line.
5. A no campaign that got down, dirty and deceitful in the best traditions of the party of which it had became a wholly owned subsidiary. Made-up costs were attached to made-up voting machines, and posters proclaimed that these would be paid by soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice. After an infant's need for a maternity unit failed to shift the polls sufficiently, a sick baby in intensive care was deployed instead. The cynical message was that because hospitals matter democracy doesn't, and so you'd better vote no or else the little one gets it.
4. A wet yes campaign, on the other hand, entirely failed to meet fire with fire. The wrong celebrities (Eddie Izzard) were marshalled by worthy functionaries who looked like they would be most at home arguing in favour of a Financial Times editorial about joining the euro (something else Izzard once campaigned for). In a political culture that rewards those who pitch themselves against the system, for all the semi-comprehensible suggestions that AV would make politicians work harder, the campaign looked like the work of a metropolitan elite. More use should have been made of self-interested yes-mavericks, such as Ukip's Nigel Farrage, to summon up a rabble army.
3. Mistrust of coalitions. They represented a new politics last year, but are now seen by many, whether fairly or not, as the byword for dodgy deals and broken promises on health, universities and cuts. No matter that AV only marginally raises the chances of a hung parliament, most of the yes supporters want more of these, so they could not bring themselves to point this out.
2. The abject luck of a winning argument, and a failure to target the top. Abstractions about fewer safe seats and the need for representatives to reach out to a majority of their electors were never likely to cut the mustard, and particularly not when the yes team could never seem to settle on one of them as its central argument. There's no easier enthusiasm to whip up than the enthusiasm of hatred, and the campaign to have fought would have ruthlessly targeted on David Cameron. Here was an Etonian prime minister, asking for a licence for business as usual from those whom he deigns to rule over. The yes camp should have made no bones about a call to the nation to shake things up, by bringing him down a peg or two.
1. If the lack of a hate figure was the gaping hole for the yes side, Nick Clegg provided an unbeatable one for the noes. The man himself recognised that voters wanted to poke him in the eye, and he dutifully kept a fairly low profile in the campaign that was by far the most visible single concession that he obtained from the Conservatives. Shrewd as it was for him to go to ground, it could not prevent the noes from warning that "President Clegg" would be kept forever in power by everybody's second preferences. He had a horrendous hand to play last year, but he made things worse for himself by appearing to the country as a head boy thrilled at being unexpectedly tasked with helping to run the school. When the headteacher and his staff meted out their long-planned litany of horrors, it was not they but Clegg who felt the force of the pupils' revolt. Having once dismissed Gordon Brown's pre-election promise of an AV referendum as doomed by association with him, there is a bitter irony here. It is not association with Brown but association with Clegg that has now sunk the electoral reform he was so desperate to achieve.

إن الشيخ أسامةَ بن لادن رحمه الله لم يكن نبياً أرسِلَ في القرن العشرين بل هو رجلٌ مسلمٌ من هذه الأمة المسلمة الكريمةِ أخذَ الكتابَ بقوةٍ وباع الدنيا بالآخرةِ وسعى لها سعيها كما نحسبه، فرفعه الله لما رفع دينه، وأعزه لما سعى لإعزاز كلمته، وأرعب به أمم الكفر كلَّها لما لم يخف إلا ربَّه، وإن الأمة التي أنجبت أسامة لأمة ولودٌ منجبة، وليأتينَّ منها من الرجالِ والأبطالِ أمثاُله وأمثاُله، ممن يستلذون التضحية ويستعذبون الصبر وينغصون عيش أعدائهم ويفتحون عليهم أبواب الجحيمِ أو يقودونهم إلى الجنةِ بالسلاسل؛ فجامعة الإيمان والقرآن والجهاد التي خرَّجت الشيخ أسامة بن لادن لم ولن توصد أبوابها، فكتابُ الله محفوظٌ وآياته تتلى آناء الليل وأطراف النهار ولن تمحى ولو اجتمع عليها من بأقطارها، كيف وأمتُنا المسلمةُ اليومَ أشدُّ إقبالا على دينها وتضحيةً من أجل عقيدتها وقوةً في مواجهة أعدائها وإدراكاً لحقيقة ما يُكاد لها، بعد أن نشأ فيها جيلٌ تقيٌّ نقيٌّ ساهم الشيخُ أسامة رحمه الله مساهمة طيبةً في غرسه مع سائر إخوانه من القادة الأبرار والدعاة الصالحين الأخيار، جيلٌ يستعلي بإيمانه ويعتزُّ بإسلامه ويحتقرُ الغربَ الكافرَ ويزدري حضارته الزائفة حضارة المجون والخنا والانحلال والدجل، جيلٌ يتخذُ مقتلَ قادته مغنماً لتوطيد ولائه للدينِ لا مغرماً ينتكسُ به على عقبيه، مردِّدين بإيمان ويقينٍ قولَ الله تعالى : { وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا لِمَا أَصَابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ * وَمَا كَانَ قَوْلَهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِي أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ * فَآتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ الْآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ } [آل عمران: 146 - 148]. The sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God have mercy on him was not a prophet sent in the twentieth century it is a Muslim man from the Muslim Ummah precious to take the book strongly and sold the Hereafter and strives for it as as we think, Verwah God would raise his religion, and Oazza what he sought to show pride in his speech, and frightened by the United disbelief the whole of what has made no secret except his Lord, but the nation that gave birth to Osama nation and Lud reproducers, and come from men and heroes like him and his ilk, who Esteldhun sacrifice and Istazbon patience and Ingson live their enemies, and conquer them the gates of hell, or lead them to heaven with chains; Jaami faith and the Koran and Islamic Jihad, which emerged Sheikh Osama bin Laden is not and will not shut the doors, recent book God Mahfouz and his signs are rehearsed the night and the parties the day and will not be erased, even if met from Boqtarha, how the Muslim Ummah today the most popular on its religion and sacrifice for the faith and strength in the face of its enemies and recognition of the fact that almost her, having grown up the generation of pious pure contributed to Sheikh Osama may God have mercy on him a good contribution in instilled with all his fellow leaders of the righteous, and advocates the righteous good guys, Jill Istali faith and proud to become Muslim, and despise the infidel West and contempt for his or her own pseudo-civilization of immorality and Alkhana and decay and hypocrisy, the generation to take the killing led booty for the consolidation of his loyalty to the religion is not fond of reversed by the heels, chanting with faith and believe God said: {And how many a Prophet fought with him Rbion many, what did befall them in the way of Allah, they weaken nor degrade themselves and Allah loves the patient * and the only words that they said: Our Lord forgive us our sins and our extravagance in our foothold victory over the disbelieving folk * God gave them the reward of the world and better reward of the Hereafter, and Allah loves the doers of good} [Al-Imran: 146-148].
ولو كان نور الإسلام والجهاد يمكن أن ينطفئَ بمقتلِ أو موتِ أحدٍ لذهبَ يوم أن مات سيِّدُ الخلقِ محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وارتدَّ مَن ارتدَّ من العرب، أو لطويت صفحتُهُ يوم أن تضرَّج أمير المؤمنين عمر بدمه في محرابه، وعثمانُ عند مصحفه، وعليٌّ في طريقه رضي الله عنهم أجمعين، وكم وكم من القادة الذينَ ساروا على هديهم وقد ملئوا الأرضَ شرقاً وغرباً بذكرهم وفتوحاتهم وجهادهم فما خفَتَ نورُ الحق بمقتلهم ولا تراجع أتباعهم بغيابهم، بل ازدادوا بقتلهم غيظاً على أعدائهم وإصراراً على أخذِ ثأرهم ورايةُ الحقِّ بأيدهم وهم يتلون قولَ ربهم : { مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا } [الأحزاب: 23]. If the light of Islam and jihad can turn off the killing or the death of one of the day went to Matt Syed creation Muhammad peace be upon him and cringe from cringe from the Arabs, or wrapped up their on that spattered the faithful life of his own blood in the niche, and Osman when Msahvh, and on the way, may God bless them all, how much and how many of the leaders who followed in the way of life has been filled the land east and west beings and their conquests and their struggle, what eased the light of truth latest deaths and no reverse their followers absences, but increasing in killing fury on their enemies, and a determination to take their revenge and the banner of the right to their hands, they recite the words of their Lord: {of the believers are men true to their covenant with Allah, some have died and some of them are still waiting;} [Ahzab: 23].
ومن هذا المنطلَق فإننا في تنظيم قاعدة الجهاد نعاهد الله سبحانه – ونسأله العون والتأييد والتثبيت– على المضيّ على طريق الجهادِ الذي سار عليه قادتُنا وعلى رأسهم الشيخ أسامة، غيرَ متوانين ولا مترددين، ولن نحيدَ عن ذلك أو نميل حتى يحكم الله بيننا وبين عدونا بالحقِّ وهو خير الحاكمين، ولا يضرُّنا بعد ذلكَ أن نرى النصرَ والظفر وندرك الفتحَ والتمكين أو نهلك دونَ ذلك : { فَلْيُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ يَشْرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ يُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلْ أَوْ يَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا } [النساء: 74]. In this context we in al Qaeda promise God Almighty - and we ask help and support and installation - to continue on the path of jihad, who walked by our leaders, led by Sheikh Osama, but Mtoanin not reluctant, and will not deviate from it or we tend to judge God between us and the enemy the right to a Best of Judges, not bad for us then to see the victory and nail and are aware of the opening and empowerment or perish without it: {Vliqatl for the sake of God those who Icheron life of the world and the Hereafter fight in the way of Allah being killed or more will give him a great reward} [women: 74].
كما أننا نؤكد أن دماء الشيخ المجاهد أسامة بن لادن رحمه الله أثقل وأغلى عندنا وعند كل مسلمٍ من أن تذهب سُدىً، وستبقى بإذن الله تعالى لعنةً تطارِد الأمريكان وعملاءهم وتلاحقُهم خارجَ وداخلَ بلادهم، وعما قريبٍ –بعونِ الله- لتنقلبنَّ أفراحُهم أحزانا، ولتختلطنَّ دماؤهم بدموعهم، ولنُبِرَّنَّ قسمَ الشيخ أسامة رحمه الله : فلن تنعم أمريكا ولا مَن يعيش في أمريكا بالأمان حتى ينعمَ به أهلنا في فلسطين، وسيستمر جنود الإسلام جماعاتٍ ووحدانا يدبِّرون ويخطّطون بغير كلل ولا ملل ولا يأسٍ ولا استسلامٍ ولا خورٍ ولا فتورٍ حتى تُرموا منهم بداهيةٍ تُشيبُ الطفلَ من قبلِ المشيبِ.! We also stress that the blood of the mujahid sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God have mercy on him heavier and more expensive in our view and when every Muslim to go in vain, and will remain, God willing, the curse of chasing the Americans and their agents and pursued inside and outside their country, and soon - with God's help - to Tnqbann happiness sorrow, but Takhttun blood Bdmuahm, and Nbern Section Sheikh Osama may God have mercy on him: you will not enjoy the American nor live in America safe so enjoy it, our people in Palestine, and will continue to be soldiers of Islam groups and masse plot and plan without fatigue or boredom and despair, no surrender, no creek or chill until Termua them guy, Chip child by Almsheeb.!
وإننا ندعو شعبنا المسلم في باكستان الذين قتل الشيخ أسامة على أرضهم أن يهبّوا ويثوروا لغسل هذا العار الذي ألحقه بهم شرذمة من الخونة واللصوص ممن باعوا كلَّ شيءٍ لأعداء الأمة، واستخفّوا بمشاعر هذا الشعب الكريم المجاهد، وأن ينتفضوا انتفاضةً قويةً عامةً لتطهير بلادهم (باكستان) من برجس الأمريكان الذين عاثوا فيها فساداً { إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ } [الرعد: 11]. We call upon the Muslim people in Pakistan who killed Sheikh Osama on the land to rise up and rise up to wash this shame that caused them a handful of traitors and thieves who have sold everything to the enemies of the nation, and disregarded the feelings of this people, decent fighter, and to rise up uprising strong public to clean up their country (Pakistan) Burgess Americans who have wreaked havoc in {Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves} [Thunder: 11].
هذا وقد أبي الشيخ أن يرحل عن هذه الدنيا قبل أن يشارك أمته الإسلامية أفراحها بثوراتها التي انتفضت بها في وجه الظلم والظالمين وسجل لها رحمه الله كلمة صوتية قبل مقتله بأسبوع واحدٍ ضمّنها تهنئةً ونصائحَ وتوجيهاتٍ، سننشُرُها قريبا بإذن الله، وختمها بهذه الأبيات : This was my father Sheikh to leave this world before taking part nation Islamic joys Bthoradtha, which has risen in the face of injustice and wrong and record them God's mercy sound word before his death one week, including greetings, advice and guidance, we will publish soon, God willing, and stamped with these verses:
فقول الحق للطاغي --- هو العز هو البشرى Stop right to Taghi --- is the splendor is human
هو الدربُ إلى الدنيا --- هو الدربُ إلى الأخرى Is the path to the world --- is the path to the other
فإن شئتَ فمتْ عبداً --- وإن شئتَ فمت حرّا Fmt you want the slave --- and if you wish Fmt free
ثم إننا نحذّرُ الأمريكان من أي مساسٍ بجثمانِ الشيخ رحمه الله أو تعرّضٍ بمعاملة غير لائقة له أو لأي أحدٍ من عائلته الكرام حيّهم وقتيلهم، وأن تُسلَّم الجثامين إلى أهلها، وإلا فإن أية إساءة ستفتح عليكم أبواباً مضاعفةً من الشرّ لا تلومون معها إلا أنفسكم. Moreover, we warn the Americans of any prejudice to the corpse of Sheikh God's mercy or exposure to the treatment of Inappropriate him or any one of the family honored their neighborhood and Guetilhm, and to recognize the bodies to the people, otherwise, any ill-will open you doors to double from evil do not blame them but yourselves. وندعو المسلمين كافةً إلى القيام بواجبهم في فرضِ هذا الحق. We call on all Muslims to do their duty to enforce this right.
ولله الأمرُ من قبلُ ومن بعد، وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أيَّ منقلبٍ ينقلبون. And God is before and after, and will teach those who wronged any turning.
والحمد لله رب العالمين، وصلى الله على نبينا محمدٍ وآله وسلم تسليما كثيراً. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family peace and recognition of a lot.
