Rose Karroum writes Facebook tribute to sister Amira, killed in Syria alongside husband Yusaf Ali

AMIRA Karroum was a "soldier" (Enemy Combatant)who died with the man who "made her heart flutter", her sister says.

In a heartfelt tribute, Rose Karroum told their mother she had raised "a beautiful daughter" and should be proud.

Ms Karroum once likened a location in Sydney's southwest to "Osama Bin Laden's Cave"."Today I witnessed hijabi girls promoting democracy with their tee shirts and their stupid voting papers. Kuffars! May Allah guide these strangers.''
Five says earlier she posted: "Islam is my identity. The burqa is my shield. Jannah (heaven) is my destination.''Amira Karroum September 7 2013
After the Muslim riots in Hyde Park in September, 2012, Karroum called for more violence, telling her Facebook followers: "F … the police! Smash all the cop cars.''"Islam is my identity. The burqa is my shield. Jannah (heaven) is my destination.''

"Worst effing night. I'm proud of being a Muslim! 10 years of war in Afghanistan for two towers,'' she wrote on September 11, 2011. 

Rose, also a devout Muslim who calls herself "Mujahidah Lioness" on Facebook, took to the social networking site yesterday to try to console her distraught mum Honor Deane.

Rose, who lived with her sister in Sydney,(Sydney's Occupied Territories) told of the love Amira and husband Yusuf Ali shared.

"Amira said that she felt her heart flutter and Yusuf said that she was his destiny," Ms Karroum told her mother on Facebook.

"They were parted by something bigger than them but she always said to me that she would be with him again.(No you wont Jihadi, he will be enjoying the company of his new found 72 Virgins, or does the koran lie?)

"She was put through trials and hard times but she was a soldier (Enemy Combatant) and kept going.

Grieving mother tells of her pain

"She was an exceptional woman, a humanitarian, someone who put the needs of others before herself.

"U raised a beautiful daughter mum be proud."

Ms Deane responded: "Darling I raised you too . . . equally as proud rose."

Rose Karroum returned to the Gold Coast yesterday to be with her mother.

People were delivering flowers to Ms Deane yesterday but the sobbing mum said she was too upset to be interviewed.

"I'm sorry, I'm grieving my beautiful daughter,'' she said.

Below is just a little of what Honor Dean's "...... beautiful daughter " Amira and her pathetic grub of a "husband" support, I hope ASIO has their eye on the rest of these Islamic Insurgents resident on Australian soil.
Surely this is a case for immediate deportation to an Islamic Utopia of their choosing for the entire family and anyone else associated with them.

The Latest Shocking Brutalization of Women in Syria

The Truth on the Encroachment of Global Islamism
January 13,2014

Not only Christians, but all women have been banned from sitting on chairs, seeing male gynecologists, smoking, and much more besides. All this from Islamist “freedom fighters” in Syria

Massacres, beheadings, rapes and the rest often take place whenever and wherever Islamic jihadis take over. Lesser known but often no less troubling, however, is the aftermath of occupation — the everyday “rules” and laws the jihadis enforce once they’re in charge.

Consider the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and Levant’s (ISIL) recent occupation of Raqqah, a city in northern Syria. First there was the overt violence. Among other acts of savagery, the jihadi organization attacked two churches – the Church of the Annunciation and the Church of Martyrs – broke their crosses, burned their Bibles, and raised the Islamic flag in triumph.

One video depicts a Muslim “freedom fighter” smashing a Virgin Mary statue to shouts of Islam’s war cry, “Allahu Akbar!”

Now consider the rules that organizations like ISIL enforce on those people living in the territories they occupy — that is, the inevitable “talibanization” of societies where Islamic supremacists hold sway.

A Syrian news clip recounts the following new laws ISIL promulgated in a statement it issued soon after taking over Raqqah:

Women are banned from sitting on chairs (as reported verbatim).
All women are obligated to wear Islamic attire, such as the niqab and burqa (which cover the entire body and face); sweaters, jeans, and makeup of any kind are strictly banned.

Female clothing is not to be displayed in shop windows, and only women are allowed to work there; if a man is found on the grounds the shop faces closure.

Women are banned from seeing male gynecologists (thus severely hampering their ability to see doctors, most of whom are men in Syria).

Smoking—cigarettes, water pipes, etc.—is banned.  Violators could face the death penalty; shops found selling cigarettes are to be burned to the ground.

All barbershops are to be closed down and men forbidden from having short hair, wearing modern hairstyles or using hair products; men are also forbidden from wearing low-waist jeans.

Anyone who uses the word “Daash” (an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in Arabic) will receive 70 whippings; the organization is to be referred to by its proper name.

The punishments are indeed severe: swindling taxi drivers face repercussions ranging from chopped hands to chopped heads; the reason cited is that their swindling may somehow interfere with a passenger’s worship (e.g., a Muslim seeking to go to mosque at the proper time).

Likewise, shop owners who do not shut down during prayer times must face the consequences.

All this is a reminder that, while the Islamic jihad may lead to brief, spectacular forms of terror — massacres, beheadings, rapes, bombed churches and the like — its aftermath and goal, purportedly the creation of a “perfect Islamic society,” is “spectacular” in its own way, especially for women, who become virtually invisible members of society.

Dead Australian Jihadi's "misinterpreted" Sheik Omar El Banna's "Syria is My Responsibility", he urged those watching to take action, telling them: "I was ready for jihad."

Sheik denies he led couple killed in Syria to take up radical cause

The Daily Telegraph
January 15,2014

A SHEIK who worshipped with the husband of a young, radicalised Sydney woman who was killed in Syria last week told his followers an Islamic caliphate - or state - in the war-torn country would be "beautiful news".

Sheik Omar El Banna used a YouTube video to tell followers that if the Syrian regime fell, "Allah will ask what change did you bring about?"

ONLINE TRIBUTE TO SISTER 'SOLDIER'

Before breaking into Arabic in the 2012 speech titled "Syria is My Responsibility", he urged those watching to take action, telling them: "I was ready for jihad."

But he denied yesterday that it was a call to arms for young Muslims such as Amira Karroum, 22, and her husband, Yusuf Ali, who were killed in the rebel-held town of Aleppo on Saturday.

He said it had been misinterpreted and wasn't meant to motivate his followers to fight, adding he discouraged people from joining the war.

Federal police will investigate how Ms Karroum and Mr Ali got into Syria and if they were assisted.

Mr Ali has been linked to Sydney Muslim radical Hamdi Alqudsi, 39, who was charged late last year and accused of being "actively involved" in recruiting six men and facilitating their travel to Syria to fight with terrorist groups Jabhat Al Nusra and al-Qaeda affiliates.

A memorial was held for the couple on Monday night at Sheik El Banna's Masjid Al Noor mosque in Granville, where Ms Karroum's sister, Rose, also worships.

 Rose, (Pious Muslim ?) who returned to the Gold Coast to be with her grieving mother Honor Deane yesterday, has pledged on Facebook: "Until Victory or Shahadah."

Sheik El Banna had worshipped with Mr Ali at Auburn's Omar mosque and, although he last saw him 12 months ago, he was aware he had travelled to Syria and said he may have been fighting in the civil war.

"Yusuf was very quiet, very gentle, a good natured person. He wanted to go and help. The (Karroum) family is in a lot of pain," he said.

"We received information he had secured accommodation. We heard after she left that she was going to catch up with her husband ... They wanted to help and they knew it was a dangerous situation. "

Martyrdom gone bad ? No Virgins ? or does the koran lie?

Sheik El Banna said Mr Ali migrated from the US four years ago and he said, because the couple was killed by fellow Sunnis from the Free Syrian Army,(The FSA must have run out of Christians that day so they turned on their own) they couldn't necessarily be considered martyrs: "Martyrdom is something that no human can assess - only Allah can give this rank.

"I hear conflicting reports he was fighting, others say he was doing aid. I believe they were caught in a crossfire. It's not looked at as a wasteful death."

It emerged yesterday that Ms Karroum once likened a location in Sydney's southwest (Sydney's Occupied Territories) to "Osama Bin Laden's Cave".

She "checked in" on Facebook at the venue in Liverpool in September 2012, posting: "It's going off."

'My heart will never heal': grieving mother says of Amira's death

Greg Stolz 
The Daily Telegraph
January 14,2014  

THE mother of Amira Karroum, the former private schoolgirl turned Muslim jihadist, has said her heart "will never heal'' after learing of her daughter's death.

Replying to a condolence message from a Facebook friend who said "our children are not meant to go before us'', Honor Deane wrote: "My heart will never heal, I am distraught with grief but I am thankful for having her for 22 years.''

Approached at her home in Southport, on the Gold Coast, yesterday, a fragile-looking Ms Deane declined to comment.

A work colleague said: "The family doesn't know what happened (in Syria) and just want to be left alone to grieve.''

News of Karroum's death and that of her husband Yusuf Ali, comes as authorities in Australia continue to keep a close eye on young Muslims travelling to Syria to take part in the bitter civil war.

Beautiful little Girl above, free as God intended her to be, only to become a "slave of allah" and have her "husband" throw her safety to the wind at the hands of his fellow Islamic Sociopath's years later far away in some koran inspired cesspool.

Slave Master? now in Paradise with Seventy Two Virgins ?or does the koran Lie ?

Federal police and NSW Police last month arrested and charged seven men including a man alleged to have masterminded sending young men to the country.

It was alleged they gave information and money to enable them to get to Syria and also put them in contact with groups feared to be associated with terrorists.

ASIO has also revoked a number of passports of citizens, preventing them from travelling overseas, particularly the Middle East.

The head of the NSW Counter Terrorists Squad Peter Dein has said he is concerned with the radicalisation of young men travelling to Syria.

ASIO believes more than 100 Australians are fighting with the al-Nusra Front, which is linked to al-Qaeda.

At least four Australians are known to have been killed in fighting so far.

In a report to Parliament in 2012 ASIO warned Australians fighting in Syria may return to "engage in terrorism".

Why arm cannibal rebels in Syria, Putin asks

June 17, 2013

Russian President Vladimir Putin, arriving in Britain ahead of an international summit set to be dominated by disagreement over the US decision to send weapons to Syria's rebels, said the West must not arm fighters who eat human flesh.

"One does not really need to support the people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies, eat their intestines in front of the public and cameras," Mr Putin said.

Olympic Terror: Russia Arrests 5 Jihadis — Bomb, Grenades, Ammo Seized

Last week, Muslim supremacists bombed the heavily trafficked railway station in Stalingrad (Volgograd), followed by a homicide bus bombing in the same town. Two days ago, Olympic terror fears struck Russia again, as six bodies with gunshot wounds were found in bomb-rigged cars.READ 

"Are these the people you want to support? Are they the ones you want to supply with weapons? Then this probably has little relation to the humanitarian values preached in Europe for hundreds of years."

No problem: Russia's President Vladimir Putin has denied Russia descriminates against homosexuals.

The incident Putin referred to was most likely that of a rebel commander filmed last month cutting into the torso of a dead soldier and biting into a piece of one of his 

organs.

After months of deliberations, Washington decided last week to send weapons to the rebels, declaring that Dr Assad's forces had crossed a "red line" by using nerve gas.

The move throws the superpower's weight behind the revolt and signals a potential turning point in global involvement in a two-year-old war that has already killed at least 93,000 people.

Still image of video of Khaled al-Hamad cutting heart and organs out of dead Syrian soldier.

It has also infuriated Russia, Cold War-era ally of Syria, which has sold arms to Dr Assad and used its veto at the UN Security Council to block resolutions against him.

Russia has dismissed the US evidence that Dr Assad's forces used nerve gas. The White House says President Barack Obama will try to lobby Mr Putin to drop his support for Dr Assad during this week's G8 summit hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron.

After meeting Mr Cameron in London, Mr Putin said Russia wanted to create the conditions for a resolution of the conflict.

Both sides have been accused of atrocities in the conflict. The United States and other countries that aid the rebels say one of the reasons for doing so is to support mainstream opposition groups and reduce the influence of extremists.

"Palestinean" Muslims seen above gorging themselves on the entrails and organs of butchered Israeli soldiers in order to attain the strength of their victims In traditional Bedouin Arab culture, the ultimate act of revenge in a blood feud involves the male members of the family ritually consuming the raw heart(s) and liver(s) of their enemy(s),after hacking the rest of the body to bits.

In Syria, rebels fought back on Sunday against forces of President Bashar al-Assad and his Lebanese Hezbollah allies near Aleppo, where Dr Assad has announced a campaign to recapture the rebel-held north after seizing a strategic town this month.

The US plan to arm the rebels also places new doubt over plans for an international peace conference called by Washington and Moscow, their first joint attempt in a year to try to seek a settlement.

After meeting Mr Putin, Britain's Mr Cameron said the divide between Russia and the West over Syria could be bridged, although they disagreed about who was at fault.

"What I take from our conversation today is that we can overcome these differences if we recognise that we share some fundamental aims: to end the conflict, to stop Syria breaking apart, to let the Syrian people decide who governs them and to take the fight to the extremists and defeat them."

Britain has not said whether it too will arm the rebels, but the issue is contentious even within Mr Cameron's Conservative-led government. Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister from his Liberal Democrat coalition partners, said: "We clearly don't think it's the right thing to do now, or else we would have done it."

Under its new posture, Washington has also said it will keep warplanes and Patriot surface-to-air missiles in Jordan, an ally whose territory it can use to help arm and train rebel fighters. Washington has 4500 troops in Jordan carrying out exercises.

Washington has not ruled out imposing a no-fly zone over parts of Syria, perhaps near the Jordanian border, although it has taken no decision yet to do so.

Jordan's King Abdullah rallied his own armed forces on Sunday, telling military cadets: "If the world does not help as it should, and if the matter becomes a danger to our country, we are able at any moment to take the measures to protect the country and the interests of our people."

Washington hopes its backing will restore rebel momentum after Dr Assad's forces seized the initiative by gaining the open support of Hezbollah, Lebanon's Iranian-backed Shi'ite militia, which sent thousands of seasoned fighters to aid Dr Assad.

Just a few months ago, Western countries believed Dr Assad's days were numbered. But with Hezbollah's support he was able to achieve a major victory this month in Qusair, a strategically located rebel-held town on a main route from Lebanon.

Since then, the government has announced major plans to seize the north, including Aleppo, Syria's biggest city and commercial centre, largely rebel-held for nearly a year. The United Nations says it fears for a bloodbath in the north.

Rebels say they are fighting back against government offensives in the north. An opposition operations room in northern Aleppo said fighters had destroyed an army tank and killed 20 troops at Marat al-Arteek, a town where opposition sources say rebels are holding back an armoured column sent to reinforce loyalists from isolated Shi'ite villages.

"Assad's forces and Hezbollah are trying to control northern rural Aleppo but they are being repelled and dealt heavy losses," Colonel Abdeljabbar al-Okeidi, a Free Syrian Army commander in Aleppo, told al-Arabiya Television.

He said Hezbollah had sent up to 2000 fighters to Aleppo and the surrounding areas, but expressed confidence the opposition would prevail.

"Aleppo and Qusair are different. In Qusair we were surrounded by villages that had been occupied by Hezbollah and by loyalist areas. We did not even have a place to take our wounded. In Aleppo, we have a strategic depth and logistical support and we are better organised," he said. "Aleppo will turn into the grave of these Hezbollah devils."

Battles were also fought inside Aleppo itself, where thousands of loyalist troops and militiamen reinforced by Hezbollah have been massing and attacking opposition-held parts of the city, driving rebel fighters back.

Opposition activists said the army was also airlifting troops behind rebel lines to Ifrin, in a Kurdish area, which would give access for a bigger sweep inside the city.

"For a week, the rebel forces have been generally on the retreat in Aleppo, but the tide has started turning in the last two days," said Abu Abdallah, an activist in the area.

Hezbollah's support for Assad, a follower of the minority Alawite offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, against mainly Sunni Muslim rebels has increased fears of sectarian violence spreading into neighbouring countries.

In Lebanon, security sources said gunmen had shot dead four Shi'ite Muslim men in an ambush in the Bekaa Valley close to the Syrian frontier. It was not clear who was behind the shooting.

Lebanon is still rebuilding from its own sectarian civil war, fought from 1975-1990. Fighting between Sunnis and Shi'ites was also behind most of the violence in Iraq in the decade after the U.S. invasion of 2003.

Game finally up for Union GetUp financed Labor Green Loons "Anthropogenic Global Warming" SCAM

Game finally up for carboncrats

Tom Switzer
SMH
January 14, 2014

It was promoted as the voyage to study the melting of ice sheets in the South Pole as well as to retrace Douglas Mawson's perilous expedition a century ago.

Yet the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, led by UNSW climatologist Chris Turney, has become a comedy goldmine.

The climate-change Cassandras are increasingly marginalised here and abroad 

In case you missed the story during your Christmas break, the researchers became trapped in ice so thick that Chinese rescue attempts could not reach the frozen ship. 

"It fell to Professor Turney's ship to play the role of our generation's Titanic," Canadian satirist Mark Steyn noted. "Unlike the original, this time round the chaps in the first-class staterooms were rooting for the iceberg."

And Parish-based writer Anne Jolis quipped: "Maybe the climate-change *researchers even raised a glass, if they had any liquor left. They certainly had enough ice."

Humour aside, events such as this indicate dark days for green enthusiasts.

Tony Abbott's likely repeal of the unpopular carbon tax this year reflects a global trend: the anti-carbon agenda is being subjected to the most intense scrutiny, and is found wanting.

The Kyoto treaty effectively expired a year ago. Prospects for a replacement are virtually zero. Rich nations are rejecting climate compensation for the developing world. Europe is in a coal frenzy. Germany, a former green trend-setter, is slashing unaffordable subsidies to the renewables industry. The European Parliament is losing confidence in the EU emissions trading scheme. No Asian nation has an emission trading scheme in operation. China's and India's net emissions are growing dramatically and governments, most recently Japan's, are abandoning earlier pledges to reduce their nations' carbon footprints. Even US Democrats, notwithstanding President Obama's direct action-style energy plan, won't pass modest carbon-pricing bills in the Congress. Add to this those debunked predictions (remember the vanishing Himalayan glaciers, disappearing North Polar ice cap?), and it is clear that Tim Flannery's moment has come and gone.

Meanwhile, 2013 marked the 15th year of flat-lined global surface temperatures, despite record levels of carbon dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere since 1998. And as the US shale "fracking" revolution shows, the most efficient way to cut emissions is not via command-and-control regulation but by allowing private drillers to expand natural gas production.

Of course, the environmental doomsayers remain apocalyptic. You try going on the ABC's Q&A and raise doubts about global-warming alarmism. You will still see the inner-city studio audience treating you not merely with hostility but with open-mouthed incredulity.

The climate-change Cassandras are increasingly marginalised here and abroad.

When they abuse, intimidate and victimise anyone with the temerity to criticise the fanaticism of their movement, the inclination of ordinary Australians is either to shrug their shoulders with a profound lack of interest or to grimace at this moral grandstanding.

Historians will probably look back at the years 2006-09 as the time when the climate hysteria reached its peak in Australia, when rational debate was at its most restricted and politicians at their most gullible.

These were the days of drought, unseasonal bushfires, An Inconvenient Truth, the Garnaut Report and, of course, Kevin Rudd's "greatest moral challenge".

Crikey, even Rupert Murdoch was "giving the planet the benefit of doubt".

Contrary to media stereotypes, many so-called sceptics - such as Abbott, John Howard, Maurice Newman and this writer - recognised that the rise in carbon dioxide as a result of the burning of fossil fuels led to moderate warming.

But because we questioned the doomsday scenarios and radical, costly government-directed plans to decarbonise the economy, we were denounced as "deniers".

Those days are over.

Thanks to Abbott's forceful critique of Labor's ETS/carbon tax, and the persistent failure of the carboncrats to reach legally binding global agreements, Australians have risen up against this madness.

At last, there is recognition not just that there are at least two sides to every story, but that when sophisticates seek to shut down debate, it amounts to an attack on the public interest.

That is why the anti-carbon zealots have become so defensive. The game is up.

The idea of climate mitigation - carbon taxes, cap and trade, channelling taxpayer subsidies to wind and solar power - destroyed the leaderships not only of Malcolm Turnbull in 2009 and Rudd in 2010, but also of Julia Gillard and Rudd (again) last year.

And although the Coalition's approval ratings have declined since the election, polls also show that opposition to the carbon tax remains high.

Last year's Lowy Institute survey said that only 40 per cent (down from nearly 70 per cent in 2006) think climate change is serious and requires action.

And yet, despite this changing (political) climate, Opposition leader Bill Shorten still opposes the repeal of the carbon tax.

If Labor's divorce from the Greens is genuine, he should support the PM's legislation, lest he meet the same fate as his fellow deniers and become a laughing stock.

Young girls indecently assaulted in a Sydney park toilet

Ben McClellan
The Daily Telegraph
Jamuary 9, 2014

TWO girls aged two and six have been indecently assaulted by a man in a toilet in a western Sydney park, police say.



A major police search is under way for a man who approached the girls while they sat on a bench at Campbell Hill Reserve Pioneer Reserve on Campbell Hill Road in Guildford at 12.30pm.

The man, described as being of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean appearance, approximately 165cm tall and with a chubby build, coaxed the girls into a toilet block and sexually assaulted them.

Rosehill police, the dog squad and a police helicopter are searching the park and the surrounding area.

The girls, believed to be sisters, have been treated by paramedics and taken to hospital.

Police have sealed off the entrance to the park and forensic officers have been examining the women's toilet block just 10 metres from the road and right next to the reserve's entrance.

A large group of shocked residents have gathered outside the popular park with a shaded playground and several covered eating areas.

Maysa said she knew the Lebanese-Australian family the girls were from.

"It's shocking, I'm speechless I dont know what to say. It's disgusting, there's no words to describe how I feel, especially how the family feels," she said.

"I was here last weekend it's a lovely area, we have never had any dramas here, it's a family area. You need to park at the end of the street Sundays it's so popular. This is the first time this has happened in the area."

The mother said she could only empathise with the girls' family.

"I have a girl who is very young and I just can't imagine this happening to her. I just say to the family 'God be with you'," Maysa said.


"They must be devastated. You don't know what to say it's shocking, disgusting, he should be burnt, dead, no little kid, no family deserves this."

Massive hunt for Sydney sex fiend who assaulted little sisters

Ben McClellan
The Daily Telegraph
January 11,2014

 POLICE fear the man who carried out a horrific assault on two little sisters in a toilet block could be a serious predator who may be a convicted sex offender.


The family of the girls, aged two and six, have been playing down the attack among the close-knit Lebanese-Australian community to protect the girls' "honour" and to not bring "shame" upon them. WTF?

But Child Abuse Squad head Peter Yeomans said one of their lines of inquiry was that the man was a convicted sex offender.
Campbell Hill Pioneer Reserve, where the family, including parents, grandparents and cousins, was having a picnic on Thursday, remained shut yesterday with the toilet block locked as forensic officers searched the area.

As detectives with Strike Force Sandyman went through hours of CCTV footage from local businesses and homes and interviewed witnesses, they were also following up with a woman who said she saw a suspicious man leave the same toilet block last October.

One of the girls' aunts said it had torn the family apart.
"They are beautiful, happy, bubbly little girls, never whingeing, always smiling," she said.

"I couldn't imagine what their parents are going through.

"When I heard about it, the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I was horrified."

A cousin said the attack was a sensitive issue for the Lebanese-Australian community.

"We've got a big family here. (It's) definitely terrible. Arabs in general are very protective of our kids, especially our girls," he said.

The girls, who had walked off together to use the toilets just 100m away from their family at 1.30pm, were yesterday receiving counselling at The Children's Hospital Westmead.

"The little six-year-old is still very upset by what has occurred," Supt Yeomans said.

He said they were followed into the toilet block by the man, who then sexually assaulted the older girl and indecently assaulted the younger girl.
The girls have told detectives they were in the toilet for "a considerable amount of time".

"But, bear in mind, children's conception of time is quite different to that of an adult's," Supt Yeomans said, adding that the girls' parents, who also have a son, didn't deserve any blame.

"They're very good parents. It's the middle of the day, it's school holiday time, there are plenty of people around," he said.

"It's a harrowing experience for the family. They are very deeply stressed by what has occurred to them and to their children."

Police have described the man as having black hair, an average to thin build and wearing a black jacket with a white stripe down the side, and blue shorts.

Muslim Sociopath,Sergeant Hekmatullah proud of killing three Australian soldiers in Afghan "insider attack"

Disgraced sergeant Hekmatullah shows no remorse for killing of Australian Diggers

Jeremy Kelly in Kabul
Daily Telegraph

January 12,2014

AN AFGHAN soldier on death row for shooting dead three Australian soldiers is unrepentant, saying he should be rewarded and would do it again if released.

Disgraced sergeant Hekmatullah said he became maniacal after an Afghan colleague on the base he was stationed shared with him a mobile phone clip that showed a report about US soldiers burning Korans in Afghanistan.

"There were some real nasty thoughts that I had in my head," he told News Corp Australia in an interview inside Kabul's Pol-e Charkhi prison.

"I saw that video and went crazy."

HOW SUPER-SPIES TRACKED DOWN HEKAMTULLAH

It is the first time the 19-year-old has spoken publicly and provides a rare insight into the motives of an Afghan security forces member who has turned their gun against a foreign mentor.

Asked what we would like to say to the families of the soldiers he killed, Hekmatullah shrugged nonchalantly before he said: "I want them to forgive me so then I will be released."
When told that appeared unlikely, he replied: "Then don't forgive me. I would do it again if they burned more Korans."

PRIVATE POATE BECOMES PART OF ANZAC LEGEND

SAPPER JAMES MARTIN 'A LOVING SON'

At least 140 Coalition troops, including seven Australians, have been killed in 85 so-called insider attacks, according to the Long War Journal, yet the perpetrators either are killed on the spot or trying to evade capture, or have successfully fled.

Hekmatullah is one of only two known offenders who it is publicly known has been caught and brought before the courts.

Extradited to Kabul in October, after spending about six months on the run in the Pakistan city of Quetta and a further eight months in the custody of that country's spy agency,
Hekmatullah was sentenced to death in December during a secret court hearing.

He admitted to murdering Lance Corporal Stjepan (Rick) Milosevic, 40, Sapper James Martin, 21, and Private Robert Poate, 23 and was convicted also of grievous bodily harm to two other Australians, treason and involvement with a terrorist organisation.

SOLEMN FAREWELL FOR FALLEN SOLDIERS

The Australians were shot while they were relaxing or playing cards in a makeshift recreational area at Patrol Base Wahab, in Oruzgan province on the evening of August 29, 2012.

Hekmatullah's motive had remained unclear since the incident and remains in dispute with Afghan investigators believing he had previous ties to the Taliban

"We have a document that shows he was with the Taliban before this happened," said Brigadier-General Sayed Kamal Hashimi, head of prosecutions for the Afghan spy agency, the National Directorate of Security. He refused to provide details.
Handcuffed and sporting a patchy yet thick beard, in contrast to previous photos of him, Hekmatullah denied he was a Taliban infiltrator and spoke calmly about his short time in the Afghan army and his view on the foreign military presence.

"I had no problem with the Australians. I could have attacked them many times before. They came here to build schools and finish the Taliban but instead they burned Korans."

He was referring to a calamitous incident in February 2012, six months before the shooting, in which US troops started to torch more than 1600 religious texts, including an unknown number of Korans, after they were confiscated from inmates at the then US-run Bagram prison, north of Kabul.

The texts had been marked by inmates with extremist inscriptions but were mistakenly later sent to an incinerator on the base.

The incident led to five days of rioting in Afghanistan, in which dozens of people were killed and hundreds wounded.

When a fellow Afghan soldier gave him via Bluetooth a Taliban propaganda clip, which referenced both the Koran-burning incident and European newspapers publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, he said he started to plot what he called revenge.

"I watched this movie at 3pm. My guard duty was at 9pm and I decided to wait until after then. At first I went to a guard tower and asked the soldier there to give me his machine gun because I said I wanted to shoot the foreigners. He refused so I went down and used my M-16."

He fired two bursts of between 10-15 rounds each before fleeing the base into an area of thick vegetation.
"I ran and ran through the jungle until the helicopters came (about 30 minutes later) but thought they will see me if I keep moving.

"I decided to climb a mulberry tree and stayed there through the night."

In the morning, he said he spotted a farmer and approached him explaining he was an ANA soldier who had shot some foreign troops.

"The farmer told me to wait and soon he returned with two men who said they were Taliban. They gave the farmer 15,000 Pakistani rupees ($160) and we left."

The men ferried him by motorbike to another village where he said he was later put in a 4x4 pick-up, secreted under the cabin's rear seat and was told he was being driven to Kandahar.

"We were stopped on the way at a checkpoint and I could hear people speaking in English. I was told later the foreigners were stopping cars and using their computers to check people's fingerprints."

The trio drove several hours to Kandahar where they stopped for tea before they switched vehicles and drove over the Pakistani border.

He said he was then taken to Quetta, where he said he got a job as a house-hand, earning about $75 a month, before Pakistani spies swooped about six months later.

"I think they caught me because I was using my phone to call my relatives," he said.

Taken to court, a defiant Hekmatullah told the judge: "We are Muslim and it's our duty to protect the Koran. If you were a Muslim, you would give me a prize not a penalty."

He said he asked the judge to release him so he could re-join the Afghan National Army.

Instead, the judge sentenced him to death.

Appearing at times uninterested in his plight, Hekmatullah said he was willing to die in defence of his religion.

"If I die on the way to Allah, then so be it. If someone wants me to hang, then I will hang."

His case will now go to an appeal court before it is finalised by the Supreme Court in a process that usually takes months.

Any execution has to be personally approved by the Afghan President.

"The Australian Government as a matter of policy is opposed to the death penalty and makes its views known to foreign governments, including the Afghanistan government, on a regular basis," said a Defence spokesperson.

"However it is important to note, Hekmatullah is an Afghan citizen being tried by Afghan authorities under Afghan law."

According to the spokesperson, victim impact statements from the families of the murdered Australian soldiers were provided to the Afghan authority to support the prosecution of charges against Hekmatullah.

But Defence were unaware of any requests of forgiveness made to the families.
