1 Overview June 11, 2004 Afghan authorities arrest two suspects in connection with the slaying of Chinese construction workers; Taliban denies attack Afghan authorities have reportedly arrested two suspects in connection with the attack on Chinese construction workers in the northeastern province of Kunduz yesterday (Thursday, June 10) that left eleven workers dead and at least four others injured. The authorities are also seeking three other suspects. Provincial governor Mohammad Omar has called the attack politically motivated. According to Reuters reports, provincial military commander General Dawood (also spelled Daoud) is saying that the attack was not the work of the Taliban or its allies, but a disgruntled northern commander aiming to disrupt security and reconstruction. He did not name the commander. Dawood s comments come shortly after a Taliban spokesman denied their involvement in the attack. Abdul Latif Hakimi, a Taliban spokesman, told Agence France-Presse over the phone from an 1
2 undisclosed location that he had checked with all the Taliban commanders in the area and they had all denied their involvement in the attack. Hakimi said that if the Taliban does something it clearly claims responsibility for it. Hakimi was quoted as saying that Why would the Taliban kill innocent workers from China? We don t do such things. Hakimi said organizations other than the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) who take their orders from the Americans, were safe and could continue their work. Some 20 gunmen ambushed two tents at a construction site some 22 miles (35 kilometers) south of Kunduz where the construction workers were sleeping. The attack took place 01:00 AM local time (2030 HMT) on Thursday while all the workers were asleep. Most of the victims died of gunshot wounds in the head and the stomach. The victims, mostly from the eastern Chinese province of Shandong, worked for the China Railway Construction Shisiju Group Corporation and were working on a road construction project in the area being financed by the World Bank. ICRC to visit US detention facility in Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar The US military in Afghanistan is allowing the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to visit one of its detention facilities in Afghanistan s southern province of Kandahar. Lieutenant Colonel Tucker Mansager told a news briefing in the Afghan capital Kabul on Wednesday (June 9) that the decision was in response to an informal request by the ICRC made some three weeks ago, adding that the decision was deliberate and well thought out and in the best interest of the Afghan people. Mansager said it was not something hastily considered. The details of the visit remain to be worked out between the US-led coalition and the ICRC. US coalition forces continue to hold nearly 400 Taliban and al-qaeda prisoners at some 20 detention facilities across Afghanistan. UN convoy ambushed in southeastern Afghanistan, no reports of casualties Unidentified gunmen armed with light weapons and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), opened fire at a United Nations (UN) convoy in southeastern Paktia province on Sunday (June 6), however, there were no reports of injuries or serious damage. Manoel de Almeida e Silva, spokesman for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), told a press briefing that a five-vehicle UN convoy carrying some 15 Afghan and foreign election workers on its way from neighboring Khost province to the provincial capital Gardez, came under attack in Shwak district, some 120 miles (200 kilometers) south of the Afghan capital Kabul. He said, Assailants along the side of the road started to fire on the convoy, with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. Police escorting the convoy reportedly returned fire and the convoy reached Gardez without any casualties. UNHCR suspends refugee repatriation operations in southwestern Pakistan The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is saying that it is temporarily suspending its Afghan refugee repatriation operation in the provincial capital of Quetta in Pakistan s southwestern Balochistan province. UNHCR spokesman Jack Redden told a press briefing in Pakistan s capital Islamabad that it has suspended its operation in Quetta amid security concerns. He added that the UNHCR would resume its activities pending an improvement in the security situation. The decision comes after a warning by Pakistani authorities that terrorists were planning to carry out suicide attacks in Quetta against six non-governmental organizations, including the UNHCR. 2

4 Movement Refugee and IDP returns in the last 18 months are 3.6 million with over 2.7 million refugees returning and over 500,000 IDPs returning home. Over two million people have returned from Pakistan; 700,000 from Iran. In 2004, over 260,000 refugees returned by early June 150,000 from Pakistan and 110,000 from Iran including 40,000 spontaneous returns. With recent surges, the return rate is about 100,000 per month. UNHCR (UN High Commission for Refugees) plans for 500,000 to return from Pakistan this year, up from 400,000 estimated earlier; UNHCR also plans on 500,000 returns from Iran in UNHCR plans to close new post-september 2001 camps near the border in Pakistan by September About 800,000 refugees remain in Iran and 1.6 million in Pakistan. Remaining in Pakistan are over 200,000 in cities, over 1 million in old camps and 200,000 in new post-2001 camps. Emphasis in 2003 was on repatriation from old camps and cities in Pakistan to rural areas in Afghanistan. 70% of returnees from Pakistan were from cities and 30% from camps. Over a third returned to Kabul, another 10% went to other central provinces, and just over 20% returned to each of the north and east. The Southern region received 6% and the Western region 4%. The 2003 peak months were June with 92,000 and July with 78,000. In 2002 over 2.3 million Afghan refugees returned with 2 million assisted by UNHCR. UNHCR repatriated 1.53 million Afghan refugees from Pakistan, including 125,000 from Baluchistan and 1.4 million from the North West Frontier Province. 82% were from urban areas; only 3% were from new camps. 265,000 refugees were assisted in returning from Iran; and 10,000 refugees from the central Asian republics. UNHCR, the Afghan Ministry for Refugees and Repatriation, and IOM (International Organization for Migration) plan to assist 90,000 IDPs return home in UNHCR started modest 2004 IDP returns. This week 600 people returned from Khost province in the east. There are 184,000 recorded, active IDPs, with the actual total being, perhaps, some 300,000.
