DOSTUM DENIES HELPING UZBEK AUTHORITIES CRACK DOWN ON ISLAMIC
MILITANTS. Afghan Uzbek General Abdurrashid Dostum on 1
October rejected allegations that his men fought alongside
Uzbek government troops this summer in the latter's campaign
to repel incursions by the IMU, Asia Plus-Blitz reported.
Dostum said his men are currently fighting against Taliban
forces in Afghanistan. In a telephone interview with the BBC
on 29 September, IMU leader Tahir Yuldash had accused Dostum
and Tajik renegade Colonel Mahmud Khudoberdiev of
participating in fighting in Uzbekistan against the IMU
militants. LF
