THE BATTALlj
Taliban
Continued from page 1A
have just reached to Faryab
province. There are 10,000
American soldiers. They can’t
be everywhere. We are not
afraid.... we know we can move
freely,” Faruqi said.
The Taliban have appointed
military councils in each
Afghan province, re-estab
lished military bases in the
country, developed a command
structure and injected disci
pline into the ranks, he said.
On the newest battlefield in
southeastern Zabul province —
where U.S. special forces, the
10th Mountain division and
Afghan government soldiers
are waging “Operation
Mountain Viper” — Faruqi
said the Taliban’s military
command structure is fixed:
Abdul Jabbar, a former aide to
the Taliban’s Balkh governor,
is in charge. His field com
manders are Amir Khan
Haqqani and Ghulam Nabi. All
three are from Zabul province.
The Zabul provincial chief
of intelligence for Karzai’s
government, Khalil Hotak,
agreed that the Taliban have
strengthened.
“The Taliban are regrouping,
having meetings in districts. In
Zabul province 80 percent of the
people in every district are loyal
to the Taliban,” Hotak told AP
on Tuesday.
“They are uneducated peo
ple,” he said. “They are close to
the religious people. The Taliban
are preaching in the districts and
have convinced people that the
U.S. people are infidels and that
the Afghan government is sup
porting infidels against Islam.”

to Houston through media reports.
“We are going to stay,” Zaffirini said. “We will
consider all of our options. We haven’t made any
decisions.”
Whitmire said last week he was getting
increasingly anxious and wanted an end strategy.
A spokeswoman in Whitmire’s Houston office
said he was returning Tuesday night.
The mood at the Albuquerque hotel where the
Democrats were staying was somber as they each
expressed deep disappointment at Whitmire's
departure.
“While 1 understand Senator Whitmire’s frus
tration and anger, I am disappointed to see him
surrendering so easily,” said Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-
Houston. “All eleven of us have made true sacri
fices to be here in Albuquerque. I have a newborn
baby at home that doesn’t even know what I look
like. ... I hope that Senator Whitmire feels as we
all do, that no personal sacrifice is so great as to
outweigh the constitutional issues at stake."
Leaders of the Democratic pack who left
Austin to block congressional redistricting
insisted last week that the whole group was
committed to staying another month, until
Republicans meet their demands or until the
threat of arrest is gone.
Whitmire said Republicans will stop at nothing
to push through a map of political districts
ordained by top GOP officials and U.S. House
Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Sugar Land to
give Republicans more seats in the state's con
gressional delegation.

Mourning
Continued from page 1A
Police on loudspeakers urged
the crowds, jammed shoulder-to-
shoulder in the streets surround
ing the shrine, to allow the truck
carrying the coffin to pass.
Despite their efforts, the truck
was unable to make it to the
entrance of the mosque in this
holy city, 110 miles south of
Baghdad.
Unable to recover al-
Hakim’s body after the blast,
the family buried a coffin con
taining his watch, pen and
wedding ring. The coffin was
lowered below the parched
ground in the 1920 Revolution
Square, a cemetery set aside
for martyrs in the Shiite
Muslim uprising against
British occupation. Al-Hakim’s
15 bodyguards, who died with
him in the car bombing, were
buried in neighboring plots.
A senior Iraqi police official
told The Associated Press there
were nine key suspects in the
bombing in custody — two
Saudis, one Palestinian carrying
a Jordanian passport and six
Iraqis. All nine admitted ties to
the al-Qaida terror network, the
official said, speaking on condi
tion of anonymity.
As Tuesday’s funeral was
about to begin, the car bomb
exploded outside police head
quarters in Baghdad, killing
one officer and wounding 13
others in the latest attack
apparently targeting Iraqis
working with the American-led
occupation. An unknown num
ber of bystanders also were
wounded.
Acting police chief Hassan
al-Obeidi, who has offices in the
headquarters building and is
closely associated with the
occupation authority, was not
harmed. There were U.S. sol
diers in the nearby Baghdad
police academy, but they also
were unbanned.
