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.”

Or, maybe, in an act of supreme hubris, they named their raft "Titanic".

"Surely Allah will not allow it to sink!"

Is it dozens or five times a dozen. Seems like an odd headline to me. But any way, I’m glad these psychopathic galoots cannot swim.

A link to the first article about this - before it was known that this was simply a Taliban naval vessel and where some people were concerned about innocents:

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

"... and had constructed a makeshift raft of tyre tubes and wooden planks."
Perhaps they where attemting to get involved in 21 century military ship building. They need a bit more practice. We continue to read reports where goons tend to flee once any armed forces capabile of taking them out arrive on the scene.
