If you’re looking for pieces on Jack Idema and his team, please click on this link.

Right now, it is about 9:30 pm in Kabul. Al Qaeda is now trying to take over Pol-e-Charkhi prison.

Jack and his men are in a battle. More Pansjiri soldiers are arriving. They already have several hundred Northern Alliance mujahedeen protecting them, but more are entering the compound.
Update to follow later today.
Just watch: The media may not report this AT ALL!!!!!

9PM- KABUL TIME ZONE- PULACHARKE: Hundreds of Taliban and al-Qaida Prisoners have revolted at Pulacharke Prison Compound in the wake of tighter security measures by Northern Alliance Commanders after last month’s escape of 7 top Taliban prisoners during Sunday visiting. The Taliban prisoners had exchanged clothes with visitors, falsified arm IDs for visitors, and slipped out as 750 visitors left. Who was the man responsible for the escape? None other than a US State Department “agent.” An Afghan Pashtun General who was on the US Embassy’s payroll, had been sent on all expense paid trip to America by Jack Idema’s enemies in the US Embassy, and had been paid bribes to inform on Afghan political and military meetings with Jack. The general was fired just one week ago. To impose tighter security all terrorist prisoners were to be issued prison gray clothes today. The revolt had allegedly been planned more than two weeks ago. It started sometime around 8pm tonight according to Afghan CIA sources.
10PM- KABUL TIME ZONE- PULACHARKE: As of 11am EST, reports from Pulacharke officials, confirmed that hundreds of soldiers had been dispatched to Pulacharke Prison to stop an ongoing takeover attempt by the terrorists. General Salem-Bashi had placed a perimeter between the terrorists and Jack’s compound. 75 Northern Alliance commandos, all former Massoud bodyguards, were being sent to surround Jack and his men, sources inside the Ministry of Defence say that Jack’s team had been issued Kalikov machineguns and grenades for personal defense. The uprising is ONGOING and news will be posted hourly as we receive it by phone from the World’s Most Infamous Prison. If al-Qaida and Taliban insurgents make a move for Jack, it would be the 12th assassination attempt in four years, and the 9th attempt at Pulacharke.

10:30PM- KABUL TIME ZONE- PULACHARKE: Sources inside Bagram say the US Embassy has refused to provide air support and assistance to Northern Alliance Commanders attempting to contain the uprising. More than 500 rounds were fired in the first hour of the revolt. The National Army has been ordered by Karzai not to fire on his “Taliban brothers.” Northern Alliance Mujahadeen are arriving by dozens to make the stand against al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists. Northern Alliance troops have been activated to block two mountain passes near Pulacharke on an intelligence tip that says a Taliban military force is moving towards Pulacharke to assist the revolt from outside.
11:00PM- KABUL TIME ZONE- PULACHARKE: More than 1000 rounds have been fired at Pulacharke Prison.

END BREAKING NEWS- SATURDAY 11:25pm KABUL TIME
Thanks to Dan in my comments section, the BBC is the only news outlet that I’ve seen so far that has picked up the story here (we have the story from inside the prison, the BBC has the story 8 hours later from outside):
‘Riot’ at notorious Afghan jail
Hundreds of prisoners are barricaded inside one wing of the jail, parts of which are on fire, the authorities say.
Gunfire has been heard coming from the jail. Trouble apparently started after a change in prison uniform rules.
Police have sealed off the affected wing and no-one has escaped, jail officials say. Interior Ministry reinforcements have been sent in.
Pul-e-Charkhi is a huge prison complex built in the 1970s on the outskirts of the capital. It is used to house common criminals as well as al-Qaeda or Taleban-linked militants.
Last month, seven Taleban suspects escaped from the jail, with prison guards accused by officials of helping the break-out.
Correspondents say the vast and rundown jail is notorious for the disappearance and torture of thousands of Afghans during the communist era.
No more faking a stamped hand and blending in with exiting visitors now, I guess…awww. And Al Q and the Taliban apparently object to this “unfair” treatment–so much that they start a riot, and call in reinforcements from the mountains to help them from the outside. Considering the fact that so many of them have escaped from Bagram, and Karzai is giving amnesty to the Taliban, I bet there are a lot of soldiers on the ground (including the Coalition forces and the M16) wondering what the hell we’re doing!
The president’s press secretary is denying any problem at Pulacharke according to radio. Bagram’s Reaction Force was told to stand down by the State Department.
We need bloggers to pick up this story, these men deserve to be released!!!
MIDNIGHT- KABUL TIME ZONE- PULACHARKE: Northern Alliance led forces storm through gates at Pulacharke Prison. General Salem-Bashi leads swarms of troops into Pulacharke Prison at midnight tonight in an effort to contain al-Qaida terrorists. The Prime Minister confirms his support of Mujahadeen forces and Task Force Saber.
New intelligence from MOJ Command indicates that TF SABER FORCE is not a primary target of al-Qaida during revolt. Afghan intelligence believes that the prison revolt was planned and organized after President Hamid Karzai ordered amnesty given to 500 Taliban insurgents last week. Taliban terrorists, who had bombed, murdered, assassinated, and beheaded both innocent Afghans and foreign soldiers and aid workers, were given complete amnesty, $100, a certificate of welcome into the government, and a PAKOL to replace their black turbans before having their royal terrorist asses kissed by Karzai.

The Pakol is the flat hat worn by the Northern Alliance, and one source INSIDE the palace says that the idea was put forth by US STATE DEPARTMENT political advisors to blend terrorists and pro-freedom Northern Alliance troops together in pictures and video taken by the press covering the event. We find this deploring and sickening. All of us here on the SuperPatriots’ Support Team and website staff have brothers in arms that died during the 2001/2002 war, and have kept dying since, to give Karzai his throne, and to reward our enemies for killing us is an act of treason by Karzai who is still a US CITIZEN. Apparently upset that Karzai was granting amnesty to Taliban still fighting and allowing them to return to the battlefield with a clean slate, yet unable to release the Taliban scum now under Northern Alliance led Parliament control at Pulacharke, the terrorists decided to revolt.
Our vote is to let Jack and his guys loose in there and let them kill every last one of the terrorist bastards. And then let the Northern Alliance put Karzai on trial for war crimes. Or better yet, someone needs to take him down in an American court.
News updates will continue tonight. By tomorrow morning the Superpats guys expect to have Satellite VIDEO of the revolt on this page.
END BREAKING NEWS- SATURDAY Night US Time / 12:15am SUNDAY KABUL TIME

0230 AM- KABUL TIME ZONE- PULACHARKE: al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists, now surrounded and barricaded into BLOCK 2 (Jack and his men are in BLOCK 2 ANNEX) have set the prison on fire in an attempt to keep Northern Alliance troops from assaulting. Ok, we know terrorists are dangerous, but we had no idea they were this stupid. Is anyone really that stupid? You barricade yourself in to make a final stand, and then you light your OWN defensive position on fire? Let ‘em burn. Unfortunately, pressure from the palace has forced Northern Alliance commanders to bring in water tankers to put out the fire instead of letting the idiots burn themselves to death and save us from fighting them again when Karzai releases them.
Once again, the Northern Alliance, which was abandoned by the US State Department, is coming to the rescue and stopping the terrorists when Karzai fails. Our vote is to let Jack and his guys loose in there and let them kill every last one of the terrorist bastards. And then, as Jack said from Pulacharke an hour ago, “let the Northern Alliance put Karzai on trial for war crimes.” Or better yet, someone needs to take Karzai down in an American court.
END BREAKING NEWS- 7pm SATURDAY Night US Time / 3:30am SUNDAY KABUL TIME
0600 AM- KABUL TIME ZONE- PULACHARKE: It’s daylight at Pulacharke and the terrorists are surrounded, burned, and stupid. Gunfire has subsided and the revolt is now contained to just the inner most area of Block 2 at Pulacharke. Jack and his guys are winding down, as are the Panjshir commandos and the Ministry of Interior troops (official cover for the NA). Karzai is probably trying to figure out how to use this to release all his “terrorist brothers” and Jack is probably sitting back for a cold Corona. The revolt has winded down, and absent some huge event, we will start updating every few hours as needed. The full story, detailed and with pictures, will follow tomorrow in a new post.

All buildings have been taken over by Al Qaeda except for Jack’s. The ‘appeasement’ strategy has failed. It should be interesting what they try next, since they’re holding back the fighting forces from doing their jobs. I bet they haven’t tried ‘pretty please with sugar on top?’
I guess the dead woman hanging in the window as a warning not to come into one of the buildings might have scared some of the ‘kumbaya’ singers off.
I’ll have a small collection of posts on this, Yat, apparently Peter Bergen called, lol….so it’ll be interesting to see what he puts into print on this. I’m sure it will tote the Karzai bs line…
February 28th, 2006 at 8:52 pm
Cao — you’re right again; this will be interesting as I watch your posts … hell, young lady … you’re far better informed and report the truth than any TV station / Media I’ve ever known or seen!
