ニムロズ州での戦闘

アフガニスタン政府とアメリカ占領軍はアフガニスタンの戦況に関して厳しい情報統制を敷いており、アフガンの戦況が西側のメディアに流れることは殆どありませんが、今日はアルージャズィーラ英語版がアフガン内務省の発表とタリバン報道官の発表に基づきニュースを流しましたので、アフガニスタン・イスラーム首長国の公式サイトのニュースとを読み比べてみます。
まず、アルジャズィーラが報ずる透り、アフガン内務省が戦闘終了を報ずる前に、タリバン側から第一報が発されています。
但しアルジャズィーラでは、タリバン報道官は７人の自爆要員と２名の銃を持った兵士がニムルズ州庁舎を襲撃したことになっていますが、タリバン公式サイトでは６名の爆薬装着ベルトと重・軽火器で武装した殉教志願兵です。タリバン兵の総数は、アルジャズィーラが９名、タリバン公式サイトが６名、内務省の発表では最低８名を殺害となっていますが、うち２名が自爆し、残りが銃撃戦を行ったことでは一致が見られます。自爆の詳細を報じているのは、内務省発表だけですが、内務省発表でも州庁舎の外側で２名が自爆した後に内部に突入し、州知事執務室まで侵入したようです。戦闘終了後の内相の発表では、タリバンの犠牲者は最低８名、州政府側の犠牲者は警官２名とその他５名となっています。タリバンは詳報は後に発表と予告した第一報では、激しい戦闘が継続中の時点で、タリバン兵２名が自爆殉教し州政府の役人、兵士を最低１８名殺害、数十人を負傷させたと述べています。
勿論、事実確認で裏付けの取り様はありませんが、内務省発表でも、タリバン兵が州知事執務室にまで侵入しているところからも、内務省発表の州政府側の７名という犠牲者数は少なすぎるように思えます。
