Kabul, 29 July (AKI) - The Taliban is reported to have launched a fundraising campaign in Afghanistan. The private news agency Pajhwak Afghan News says literature has appeared in the east of the country in which the hardline religious movement asks for donations from groups or individuals. Mawlawi Abdul Rahman Deobandi, who Pajhwak describes as a senior figure in the Taliban, acknowledged that they had started fundraising, saying: "Despite the Taliban's unflinching belief in Allah's help, they are also reliant on people's support for resolving their cash problems."

Meanwhile, another news agency claims that lack of cashflow isn't the only problem facing the Taliban movement. The official Bakhtar News Agency says internal disputes have broken out among the leadership of the militia group. However, no other details were given.

He, He. Very kind of them to make note of the fact that Allah has given them cash problems. They seem quite defensive.

Go George Bush! Go U.S. Armed Forces, Go U.S. Cabinet!

Looks like the strategy is paying off. U.S. News and World report has an article on the DOD's 7 point strategy fdor battling the War on radical Islam. Always near the top is cutting off the money supply. I'll see if I can find the article....

Evidence that the tide has turned on the jihadists is becoming more apparent every day. Look how quickly Britain is rounding up these suspects..even in Africa.

Is the Taliban tax deductible? Do they have a pooled-income fund?
