McChrystal 'sacked for intelligence leak'
Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:46:23 GMT
Army General Stanley McChrystal麥克里斯特爾上將
Kabul circles say the dismissal of US commander was over leaking information including NATO's connection with the executed leader of the Jundallah terrorist group, Abdolmalek Rigi.
喀布爾界人士說，美軍指揮官被開除是為洩漏資訊，包括北約與被行刑的真主旅恐怖組織的領導人Abdolmalek瑞吉的關係。
Head of Press TV's office in Kabul, Mohammad Ruhi, says US commander General Stanley McChrystal was sacked for acknowledging NATO's connection with the executed leader of the Pakistan-based Jundallah terrorist group, Abdolmalek Rigi.
新聞TV在喀布爾辦公室的主管穆罕默德Ruhi說，美國司令麥克里斯特爾上將被解職，是為承認北約與被行刑的以巴基斯坦為基地的恐怖組織真主旅的領導人Abdolmalek瑞吉的關係。
He dismissed the official reasons for the firing of McChrystal, saying his growing friendship with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and intelligence leaks may have triggered the replacement.
他排除官方解僱麥克里斯特爾的理由，說他與阿富汗總統哈米德卡爾扎伊的增長友誼關係和情報洩漏可能引發更換。
The move caused a scandal, and a British minister was sacked. In retaliation, London is believed to have released confidential statements by McChrystal to White House officials, paving the way for the commander's removal from his post.
此舉引起一醜聞，和一位英國大臣被解職。為了報復，倫敦相信已發佈麥克里斯特爾的秘密性聲明給白宮官員，為指揮官的離職鋪路。
Ruhi says many insiders also link the decision to the escalating number of US casualties in the war-torn country since the beginning of 2010.
Ruhi說，許多內幕人士亦鏈接那決定至上升的美軍傷亡人數，在戰爭蹂躪的國家自2010年開始。
"The general opinion is that Petraeus' reputation as the 'butcher of Iraq' is meant to intimidate militants as well as Afghans," he added.
“總的意見是，彼得雷烏斯的聲譽作為'伊拉克屠夫'，是為了阻嚇武裝分子以及阿富汗人，”他補充。
Furthermore, Karzai's increasingly vocal protests over the civilian death toll of US and NATO operations and McChrystal's acknowledgement of mistakes fueled tensions with the US Ambassador to Kabul, Karl Eikenberry.
The friendship between the two also entailed other top intelligence leaks, with McChrystal briefing Karzai on plans to mobilize Taliban militants from the volatile south to the north, Britain's arms and drug smuggling route from Afghanistan to Central Asia as well as links with the Russian mafia.
McChrystal's remarks to Rolling Stone magazine, in which he mocked a string of top Washington officials, raised speculations about the deepening rift among the echelons of the US government.
Obama picked General David Petraeus on Wednesday to replace McChrystal as the commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan. The choice of Gen. Petraeus, the architect of the Iraq war surge strategy, to replace Gen. McChrystal, was because he was well known to the Afghans and Pakistanis, and had ties with Washington's NATO allies.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Gen. McChrystal had described his civilian bosses as "clueless" and called their European allies "wimps."
In the interview, Gen. McChrystal said he felt betrayed by the US ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, and accused him of undermining the Afghan war by leaking a classified cable back in January.
The general also indirectly criticized the US president, calling him "uncomfortable and intimidated."
