News of the Day for Sunday, November 3, 2013
Three Afghan police are killed and one injured in an explosion in a mosque in Paktika province.
Afghan security forces seize a truck carrying 50 tons of TNT in Paktia, according to the National Directorate of Security. (That’s a lot! BTW, no typo. Paktika and Paktia both exist, and are neighbors. We hear about Paktika more often because it’s larger, and has a troublesome border with Pakistan.)
Azam Ahmed reports for the NYT on Afghanistan’s horrific epidemic of opioid addiction. “The number of drug users in Afghanistan is estimated to be as high as 1.6 million, or about 5.3 percent of the population, among the highest rates in the world. Nationwide, one in 10 urban households has at least one drug user, according to a recent report from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. In the city of Herat, it is one in five.”
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar condemned the US strike as a “drone attack on the peace process”, saying a team of religious clerics was about to meet the TTP with a view to starting peace talks when Mehsud was killed. “Brick by brick in the last seven weeks we tried to evolve a process by which we could bring peace to Pakistan and what have you (the US) done?” he said. “You have scuttled it on the eve, 18 hours before a formal delegation of respected ulema (religious scholars) was to fly to Miranshah and hand over this formal invitation.”
A Pakistani woman is injured by a shell fired from Afghanistan. Bajaur Agency, where this occurred, is a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban, and has been the site of numerous drone strikes by the U.S., including one targeting Ayman al-Zawahiri, who it turned out was not present. Fighting between militants and Pakistani government forces in the region has displaced thousands of civilians, although many are now returning home.
