	News: Afghanistan, Afghan disarmament drive sees mixed results in north
		Defence Ministry spokesman General Mohammad Zahir Azimi said factional leader General Abdul Rashid Dostum had said he agreed in principle to the disarmament plan for the north but argued it should be launched at the same time as in other provinces.
		Atta has so far handed over more than 90 heavy weapons, including 50 tanks, armed personnel carriers and artillery pieces to the fledgling national army being trained by Western forces, Azimi told a news conference.
		Karzai's efforts to disarm in the provinces have not been helped by the delay by his own Defence Minister Mohammad Qasim Fahim, himself a factional leader, in moving his heavy weapons out of the capital, even though this should have been done long ago under the terms of a 2001 peace plan.

		Not surprisingly in Afghanistan, where allegiances shift as quickly as the wind, Atta and Dostum are nominally on the same side as members of the transitional Government.
		Dostum is a Deputy Defence Minister in the Central Government and Atta a Corps Commander and overall commander for the Northern areas of Jamiat-e-Islami, the dominant faction in the Northern Alliance, the backbone of Karzai’s administration.
		Bringing the warlords to heel is considered one of the biggest tasks in Karzai’s bid to replace the rule of the gun with the rule of law, quite apart from dealing with the continued threat posed by remnants of the former Taliban regime and their Al Qaeda allies.
