Coalition forces in Afghanistan say around 60 Taliban militiamen drowned while attempting to cross the Helmand river, one of the country's biggest. They were fleeing military forces in the Kajaki district and had constructed a makeshift raft of tyre tubes and wooden planks.

Well let’s make sure that their fellow terrorists are distured at their funerals. After all coalition forces are not permitted to disturb terrorists funerals.

They heard there was a new piece of legislation in the US and they were crossing the river for free health care.

So I suppose we can infer from this incident that swimming lessons aren’t part of the terrorist training curriculum?

It’s wrong to gloat over someone else’s death, but I can’t stop myself. I suppose this makes the Helmand River an organic washing machine.

When these jihadis took swimming lessons to prepare for their mission, they told the instructor that “they didn’t need to learn how to land.”

"They were fleeing military forces in the Kajaki district and had constructed a makeshift raft of tyre tubes and wooden planks." How'd that work out?
