Uzbek leader: We don't need probe

"Uzbek police and security forces may have killed as many as 1,000 unarmed civilians in Andijan and Pakhta-Abad using machine guns, other automatic weapons, and helicopters, according to independent journalists and local human rights organizations," a joint statement by the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights and the Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan said.

"The attacks on demonstrators have been followed in some cases by summary executions of the wounded, and by arbitrary arrests and detentions. The region has been blockaded, excluding news media and investigators including those from the International Committee of the Red Cross," the statement said.

U.S. Evicted From Air Base In Uzbekistan

By Robin Wright and Ann Scott Tyson

Saturday, July 30, 2005; Page A01

Uzbekistan formally evicted the United States yesterday from a military base that has served as a hub for combat and humanitarian missions to Afghanistan since shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Pentagon and State Department officials said yesterday.

In a highly unusual move, the notice of eviction from Karshi-Khanabad air base, known as K2, was delivered by a courier from the Uzbek Foreign Ministry to the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, said a senior U.S. administration official involved in Central Asia policy. The message did not give a reason. Uzbekistan will give the United States 180 days to move aircraft, personnel and equipment, U.S. officials said.


If Uzbekistan follows through, as Washington expects, the United States will face several logistical problems for its operations in Afghanistan. Scores of flights have used K2 monthly. It has been a landing base to transfer humanitarian goods that then are taken by road into northern Afghanistan, particularly to Mazar-e Sharif -- with no alternative for a region difficult to reach in the winter. K2 is also a refueling base with a runway long enough for large military aircraft. The alternative is much costlier midair refueling.

I can't help but wonder how many millions of tax dollars we paid him - and, as per US accounting practices on money we pay out - I can't help but wonder how many millions are unaccounted for. But there I go again... :rolleyes:
