Background: An Afghan Moslem exile movement based int Iran says the new government of Afghanistan under Babrak Karmal is unacceptable to them. The Bureau of the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan says it will continue to oppose the new regime which was set up with backing from the Soviet Union, and opposed foreign influence in the country. The Moslem group's opposition to the new government was expressed at a new s conference in Teheran, Iran.

SYNOPSIS: The spokesman for the exiled Moslems, Mohammad Na'im said the overthrow of the government of President Hafizullah Amin only makes the fight for an independent Afghanistan more urgent. Islamic forces have been involved in a tribal rebellion in the mountains of eastern-Afghanistan in protest against the country's first reforming polities in 1978. The tribal rebellion forced the kabul government's army into isolated garrisons, and brought an uneasy stalemate. Babrak karmal says he will seek a political solution to the unrest and he pledged support for Islam. But this has not satisfied Mohammad Na'im and his supporters.
