membersof the Afghan government.)
. (S/AIF) According to a mid-level governmentofficial, a groupof eighteen
peopleenteredKabul from Miram Shahto carry out attacksagainstUS and
coalition forces. The group wasresponsiblefor carrying out the grenadeattackon
US forceson 17December2002,andthe shootingincident at the International
SecurityAssistanceForceCompoundin Kabul on 19December2002.

with the goal of enteringKabul. Of theseindividuals, onewas capturedin Omar
SadiqMarket afterthe grenadeattackon two US servicememberson l7
December2002. (Analyst Note: The sourceof this information statedthat it was
