Information Rockall Policy Boy Scouts take lead in Afghan rebuild effort 5,000 spotty Herberts to assist Paras by Richard Mansell Head of the British Boy Scouts, Sir Nevil Spotbinder, announced today that Britain would be sending up to 5,000 scouts to Afghanistan. Speaking at the organisation's headquarters in Chingford and accompanied by Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, Spotbinder explained that the scouts would assist troops in rebuilding the war-torn country. "My boys' skills at pitching tents, rubbing sticks together, organising group games and singing around campfires would be of invaluable assistance to the British soldiers already in position," he told the assembled journalists. "In addition, the people of Afghanistan could not fail to be moved by such a warm gesture of goodwill, especially when they see their youthful thighs rubbing together in those tight grey shorts." The Scouts will help to organise cricket matches and other wholesome activities, rasing the morale of both the British troops and the Afghan citizens. Sir Nevil said the character-building expedition, which will only include Scouts over the age of 10, would also benefit the youths by teaching them to help others, see and understand a foreign culture and learn how to crap in holes.

The U.S.-Russia Working Group on Afghanistan, co-chaired by Richard L. Armitage, U.S. deputy secretary of state, and V.I. Tribunikov, first deputy foreign minister of the Russian Federation, made the statement in a news release Thursday. The United States and Russia agree there should be a "broad-based, multi-ethnic government" in Afghanistan, the release said. Both sides want an Afghanistan "free of terrorism, living in harmony with its neighbors and the international community at large and respecting international standards of behavior and human rights, including those of women and girls." At the same time, they agreed that "determining the country's future is an exclusive prerogative of the Afghan people." The group said the two nations will take further steps to improve "bilateral and multilateral cooperation on the Afghan antiterrorist and peacemaking fronts."

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) U.S. troops and helicopters killed as many as 14 enemy fighters in clashes in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, the military said Thursday. Three U.S. soldiers were wounded in the battle Wednesday some 12 miles northeast of Shkin, a town in Paktika province near the Pakistan border. The first three enemy fighters were killed in a gunbattle after a small group of insurgents fired on a U.S. patrol, spokesman Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty said. One of the wounded American soldiers was evacuated and is in a stable condition. "He wasn't terribly badly hurt," Hilferty said. The other two immediately returned to duty. The same patrol later caught up with the insurgents, and AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters flying in support inflicted several more casualties, Hilferty said. "We don't know for sure, but we think 11," he said. "It was getting night and we didn't go to see the bodies."

Story Tools KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Tightly guarded independence day celebrations in Afghanistan were marred by new attacks on aid workers and security forces as well as an explosion that ripped through the home of President Hamid Karzai's brother. No one was hurt in the blast in the southern city of Khandahar, which Karzai's brother Ahmed Wali insisted was an accident that happened as a servant moved some munitions and explosives confiscated in an earlier security raid. "It was a bad incident. But it was not a terrorist attack," Ahmed Wali Karzai told The Associated Press. Afghanistan has been hit by a new wave of violence blamed on insurgents, who are believed to be a mix of guerrillas from the ousted Taliban regime, al-Qaida fighters and supporters of renegade warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. On Tuesday, attackers unsuccessfully fired three rockets at a coalition base in Asadabad, capital of eastern Kunar province, the U.S. military said.

While they created some stability after nearly two decades of conflict, their tough interpretation of Islamic law has attracted widespread criticism. Since 1996, the Taliban have given asylum to Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the U.S. attacks. Now the ruling council of clerics have asked him to leave the country. The United Nations does not recognize the Taliban, which controls 95 percent of the country. Their main opposition is the Northern Alliance, who are currently battling for control of strategically important districts in the north.

But a top Democratic senator said Powell's characterization "flies in the face" of daily attacks on U.S. troops and recent bombings in Iraq, including attacks on the Jordanian embassy, the U.N. headquarters, an Iraqi police station and a Muslim mosque. Powell, speaking on ABC's "This Week" hours before the president was to address the nation about his global effort against terrorism, said there was no need for a mid-course correction in Iraq or Afghanistan.

MANILA, Philippines The first Afghan woman in three decades to take part in a beauty pageant has won Miss Earth's "beauty for a cause" award. Miss Afghanistan Vida Samadzai took home the inaugural prize at the event in Manila even though she failed to make it to the contest's semifinals. Miss Honduras Dania Prince was crowned Miss Earth. Samadzai, 23, won her award for "symbolizing the newfound confidence, courage and spirit of today's women" and for "representing the victory of women's rights and various social, personal and religious struggles," according to The Associated Press. But her achievement is unlikely to subdue much of the storm her parading in a bikini caused in her native Afghanistan. Samadzai who left Afghanistan in 1996 to study in the United States was condemned for treading the catwalk in a red bikini and may even face prosecution if she returns home.
