TALIBAN warlords are showing off their latest execution method - BLOWING UP their enemies - in a bid to scare Western sympathisers. This horrific film, circulating online, shows a terrified "spy" being strapped to explosives - and the gruesome aftermath. It is thought to have been filmed near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
The al-Qaeda-linked video is aimed at discouraging locals from co-operating with the UK or US.
A security source said: "This is a reminder of why British and US troops are in Afghanistan."

Shades of the favorite British method of executing mutineers in the Sepoy Mutiny, blowing them from the guns.
To be fair, this was an old tradition in India. In theory it kept both Muslims and Hindus from the afterlife.
I finally figured it out, She’s Golems mother.
I need to get my eyes and brain awash... with something to sooth them at http://www.page3.com/

Amen brother - the Daniel Pearl beheading is one I wish I had not seen.

Looking forward to seeing him... when my Boys go north this coming Friday for the final pre-season Free Agent Bowl.
Brett’s retired. That’s just a shadow that will get smacked down twice by the Pack this season. Shame he has made a caricature of himself though. From now on when someone is indecisive about retiring they will say they are “pulling a Favre”. Fortunately for him his career was so outstanding that he will be remembered for that also...especially when he finally joins Troy, Daryl, Jimmy, Howie, and Terry on the FOX broadcast crew.
On another note, Tedi Bruschi is announcing his retirement today...though I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled a Favre and came back (like Junior Seau) to fill a late season gap and a chance at another ring.
Looks like I'm not the only one... drinking heavily this morning, eh?
It’s gruesome, but if I had to choose between that or having my head sawed off like they’ve done in the past I would take the TNT any day of the week.
At least it’s quick.
Which leads me to ask, why are we there 8 years later? The Russians spent 10 years there as I recall...didn’t go well. Why we didn’t just flatten the place without warning is beyond me. No idea what the hell went thru W’s head some days
That is not cruel and unusual...That is cruel and ugly...
I think I need to go flush out my eyeballs...
ugggg...
I don’t know about the rest of you but I would rather be blown up quickly than to have my head sawed off with a dull knife the way they usually do.
Great people. They’re doing stuff like this, and worse, and our lib government wants to sit and have tea with them.
Big deal. At least they didn’t harshly interrogate him.
Sick scum terrorist nutbags.
“Page 3 girls.”
New page 3 girls or the old lusty busty Page 3 girls ... ?
Why,I understand that under CIA torture that was personally ordered by Cheney a 9th Century knuckledragging terrorist actually caught a chill one night down at Gitmo.
