500 U.S. ARMY COMBAT ENGINEERS SHIPPED FROM IRAQ TO AFGHANISTAN


US Army combat engineers in Iraq transfer to Afghanistan

Baghdad: Only in Iraq a few weeks, nearly 500 US Army combat engineers who specialise in clearing roads of explosives have learned they are being shipped off to southern Afghanistan, one of the clearest signs of America's shifting wartime priorities.


The transfer, which moved into its final stages Monday, is the largest movement so far of personnel and equipment from Iraq as President Barack Obama puts the focus on the fight in the Taliban heartland.

It's now clear some of the troops and firepower will flow directly from Iraq, where the Pentagon plans to gradually draw down its more than 132,000 personnel before the withdrawal of all combat forces by September 2010.

Obama has ordered 17,000 more US soldiers and Marines to Afghanistan.

U.S. MILITARY SAYS CONTROVERSIAL AFGHAN BIBLES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED


The U.S. military realized the Chaplain who wanted U.S. Special Forces to hand out bibles in the Pashtun language to the Afghan people was way too controversial and the bibles have been destroyed. The Army Chaplain wanted U.S. Special forces to become "Warriors for Jesus" and had tried to circumvent military regulations and have the troops hand out bibles to the Afghan people.

U.S. military says Afghan bibles have been destroyed

KABUL (Reuters) - Bibles in Afghan languages sent to a U.S. soldier at a base in Afghanistan were confiscated and destroyed to ensure that troops did not breach regulations which forbid proselytizing, a military spokeswoman said.

The U.S. military has denied its soldiers tried to convert Afghans to Christianity, after Qatar-based Al Jazeera television showed soldiers at a bible class on a base with a stack of bibles translated into the local Pashto and Dari languages.

U.S. Central Command's General Order Number 1 forbids troops on active duty -- including all those based in Iraq and Afghanistan -- from trying to convert people to another religion.
"I can now confirm that the Bibles shown on Al Jazeera's clip were, in fact, collected by the chaplains and later destroyed. They were never distributed," spokeswoman Major Jennifer Willis said at Bagram air base, north of Kabul.


Military officials have said the bibles were sent through private mail to an evangelical Christian soldier by his church back home. The soldier brought them to the bible study class where they were filmed.

Trying to convert Muslims to another faith is a crime in Afghanistan. An Afghan man who converted to Christianity was sentenced to death for apostasy in 2006 but was allowed to leave the country after an international uproar.

"It certainly is, from the United States military's perspective, not our position to ever push any specific kind of religion, period," chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen told a Pentagon briefing Monday.
