Captured Taleban say they were sent to fight by Pakistani mullahs
"Handcuffed and weary, three confessed Taleban fighters told this week how they crossed into Afghanistan from Pakistan to carry out a "jihad" against troops after mullahs said it was their duty as Muslims."Isn't Pakistan suppose to be a U.S. and Afghanistan ally in the WOT? If so, apparently it's - not a very good one.
Their duty as Muslims? In a related post, check out Robert Spencer's video this week at Hot Air on hot water that Canadian Muslims Farzana Hassan Shahid and Tarek Fatah have gotten into with their coreligionists for deviating even slightly from what John Esposito would probably call The Straight Path (HT - Jihad Watch)
