Jailed Harkat leader vows to fight India

DOABA (PANJSHER VALLEY), DEC. 17. Militants belonging to the Pakistan-backed Harkat- ul-Mujahideen, jailed by the Northern Alliance in this remote prison along with over 300 Taliban fighters, are hoping to get out on a general amnesty, vowing to fight against India in Kashmir and the new regime in Afghanistan.

``We hope to get out of the prison as soon as we have heard that the new President, Hamid Karzai, would give general amnesty to all prisoners. We cannot make any compromise on our goal - to wrest Kashmir from India and reinstate Taliban,'' the HUM commander, Ubeidullah Assad, who, along with nine other militants of the group, is kept in this obscure prison located 120 Km from Kabul, told PTI.
