ALMATY, Kazakhstan--The Kazakh Committee on National Security announced this week it is looking for the people responsible for distributing pro-Taliban leaflets in southern Kazakhstan that call for governments of the region to be replaced with an Islamic state. Legal clerks in the Kentau court found the leaflet signed by the Uzbek terrorist organization "Hizb ut-Tahrir al Islamia" on 15 October when they opened a letter that had been hand-delivered in a sealed envelope by an unidentified man between 20 and 25 years of age. The leaflet stated that joining the anti-Taliban coalition is a heinous crime against Islam. The offices of the local newspaper Kentau and TV broadcaster "Ikan" also received similar letters. News about the leaflet campaign came as a surprise to observers in the country. Radical Islamic groups have made little headway in their attempts to gain support in Kazakhstan, a country of diverse religions. Kazakhs have largely discounted the possibility of a fanatical religious terrorist group taking root in the country. Islamic extremists from neighboring Central Asian countries have made a few weak attempts in the past to encourage Kazakhs to join their groups but have been unsuccessful. Many were surprised, therefore, when Kazakh information agencies, television stations, and newspapers began to spread the news that an unidentified group in southern Kazakhstan was propagating the idea of building a single Islamic state to replace the Central Asian countries and calling for the overthrow of the local "akims"--governors--of cities and regions. But members of the "Hizb ut-Tahrir" organization have been active both in Kentau and the neighboring city of Turkestan. The news agency Kazakhstan Today reported that the four "Hizb ut-Tahrir" members who were convicted earlier this year of being members of an unregistered religious extremist organization and involvement in anti-constitutional activities leading up to the eve of the city's 1,500-year anniversary celebration one year ago were from Kentau and Turkestan city. Ten days before the celebration, the four men were arrested while distributing leaflets--similar to the ones that surfaced this week--calling for the establishment of an Islamic state in Central Asia. --by Didar Amantay ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
