TEHRAN U.S. spies in the Central Asia have detected and informed the authorities of Kyrgyzstan who seized about 700 tons of military ammunition on its way to Afghanistan's North Alliance forces, reports coming from Bishkek said Tuesday evening. Later Kyrgyzstan announced that a transit train with the cargo had been intercepted by U.S. spies on the night of October 10 in the town of Osh in the ex-Soviet state's south.

It is said the ammunition was to have been delivered to Afghan Commander Ahmad Shah Masood who is facing brutality of Taleban in the north of the country. Masood is well-known for his guerilla campaign against Soviet occupation forces in the 1980s. Observers here were not surprised with the story that was nothing but an effort to distract attention from the fact that Taleban are receiving military, political and financial support from other countries.

There is a war in Afghanistan and the people there are resisting Taleban's genocide, an observer said, adding that one should not expect that the oppressed Afghans will fight with stones or sticks. They need weapons and weapons do not fall from the sky and this is why they have to buy them, he said and pointed out that the government which is recognized by the United Nations and most of the world countries could have bought weapons from other countries or country.

I don't think there is any thing wrong in it, he said. But the question is that why the U.S. spies do not do the same on the other side where Taleban are receiving enormous amount of weaponry from foreign countries, he said.
