Taleban militants 'plan to attack Britain'
The Times ^ | October 23, 2006 | Elsa McLaren

Britain and the rest of Europe are a target for Taleban militants who have been inspired by rebel fighters in Iraq and are now planning attacks abroad for the first time, a Taleban commander has said.

Mullah Mohammed Amin said that "ordinary people" would be killed in revenge for the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

Speaking to Sky News, the reclusive fighter vowed to avenge the death of every Taleban militant with the lives of hundreds of Westerners in a fight that, he said, they will never give up.

He said: "It's acceptable to kill ordinary people in Europe because these are the people who have voted in the government [George Bush and Tony Blair].

"They came to our home and attacked our women and children.

"The ordinary people of these countries are behind this - so we will not spare them. We will kill them and laugh over them like they are killing us and laughing at us."

Mullah Amin worked in the Defence Ministry in the Taleban government before the invasion. He claims to have been a fighter for 15 years and was in the mujahadeen. Today, he is wanted by both the Pakistani authorities and Nato for his part in the insurgency.

During the interview in a house in Pakistan close to the border with Afghanistan with the journalist Alex Crawford and cameraman Phil Hooper he keeps his face covered throughout.

He told the journalist that he is in charge of 85 fighters and plans and carries out attacks on British troops based in the south of the country.

He said: "Nato says they have about five million dollars worth of arms but we [the Taleban] have much more than that.

"We have all sorts of weapons. We have Kalashnikovs, AK-47s, we have rocket propelled grenades, we have missiles which can reach 7,000 metres. We have got many from China and from Russia and many from the mujahadeen.

He said that a missile that can hit a jet flying at 16,000 metres has been developed by the Taleban and is now 75 per cent complete.

He said that Taleban fighters were learning from the Iraq insurgency in their use of remote-controlled bombs, landmines and suicide bombers. He said: "They are our best tactic."

Have they managed to come up with a third "Abu" yet? And, if so, which body parts is he missing?

Well the males are obviously missing bollocks and the part of the brain that governs sense. The women are missing a sense of dignity and self-worth.

"Note to Taleban: you're only angering people like me and increasing my desire to see the lot of you swinging from trees with your guts torn out. "

If British leadership publicly shared your sentiments, I would have felt that Britain is secure. However, British and much of the Western leadership still refuses to acknowledge that Islam is at War of annihilation with the Western and all the non-Muslim world.

"Mullah Mohammed Amin said that "ordinary people" would be killed in revenge for the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001."

Muslims in the non-Muslim world had better work and pray towards AVOIDING bringing any more of their "terrorist shit" to the West....

The blood bath on the streets will horrify even the freaking Islamists.

Semper Fi

"It's acceptable to kill ordinary people in Europe because these are the people who have voted in the government [George Bush and Tony Blair].

It's acceptable to kill ordinary people in Riyadh and Beirut and Baghdad and Kabul and Cleveland and Houston and Jacksonville because these are the people who tolerate the butchery of their Muslim brethren.

"They came to our home and attacked our women and children.

They came to our cities and attacked our women and children and office workers and secretaries and stockbrokers and janitors and copier repairmen and network engineers.

"The ordinary people of these countries are behind this - so we will not spare them.

The ordinary people of these ratholes are behind this

We will kill them and laugh over them like they are killing us and laughing at us."

I'm not hearing enough laughing, people. And I'm certainly not seeing enough killing of Muslims! Let's not disappoint Abdul.

85 fighters and $5M of Chinese arms, half of which don't work, the other half is fantasy.

I doubt the Brits need to be frightened.

I just caught part of this interview on Fox...simple solution to future problems: take no more prisoners.

Use the Vlad Dracul method of negotiation: Nail their black turbans to their heads and leave them to rot in the sun.

PRoP PING!

Yes, I too favor the no arrests/more deaths policy for terrorists. Kill every damned one we can find. Anywhere, any time.

Actually I'm quite sad, sad that we aren't killing you fast enough, but I am laughing at you because every attack you make on us firms up our resolve to exterminate the vermin
you are. With every threat, with every attack on us, that day comes a little closer...

Well...seeing that allah is 'merciful, all knowing and wise' it makes sense to send them to him. They'll be so much happier in paradise.

I'm really a very compassionate person...

It is time to take a stand and end this. We give them and inch and they take a mile and we allow it.

Note to Taliban: Bring it on...and the sooner the better.

Once you and the rest of the bugs have upset the world to a point wherein we become committed to kill each and every one of you, the world can deal with the infestation... and then get on with life.

BTW......I bought a $100,000 boat this month, a $12,000 Artic Cat last month and a resort membership in the Hawaiian Islands the previous month.

So tell me Mr. Terrorist....how's life on your end?

They 'plan to attack'? I've got news for Brittain, they've BEEN attacked for some time now- they're in a permanent war with Islam now because they've been so soft on terrorism in their own country- just like France has been. We're next if these liberal terror coddlers convince America that fighting Islam is politically incorrect & we shouldn't be in Iraq confronting the terrorists. We'll be next on the terrorists 'to-do' list, after they take over europe.

They (Islamic extremists) always find new excuses to go on a murderous rampage.
