According to an islamic terrorist website, the new top Taliban military commander is Mullah Bakr (age 37) and he replaced his brother Mullah Dada Allah (age 40) who was killed by US troops in Afghanistan two days ago. According to this terrorist website, Mullah Bakr was released 2 months ago (March 2007) in exchange with an Italian journalist who was kidnapped by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Below is a partial translation of the terrorist website http://208.101.48.176/~alshaf3y/vb/showthread.php?t=10893
Official Taliban movement sources have confirmed the Taliban movement intention to appoint “Mullah Bakr” the brother of martyr “Mullah Dad Allah” to command the military wing of the movement, confirming that its military operations against the occupation forces and the Afghani government forces will not be affected by the death of its military leader
“Mullah Bakr”-37 years old the brother of martyr “Mullah Dada Alla” was released in prisoner exchange operation with the Italian Journalist 2 months ago
End of the Partial translation.
Also you can read more about the release of the Italian journalist 2 months ago but of course no mention of the release of terrorist Mullah Bakr in exchange although Italian Prime Minister Prodi said that the release was “not simple” operation. Kidnapped Italian journalist released in Afghanistan
If the above is true then it was a huge mistake releasing a terrorist like “Mullah Bakr” and further proof to NEVER NEGOCIATE WITH TERRORISTS.
Well, we have more coalition partners in ‘Ghanistan than Iraq.
