We and Karzi are open to negotiating with these guys? Okay
“spying for the Americans” and “preaching Christianity.”.................................... From the people who live in the land that time forgot, another basket case.
I just read this and about to post it.
This is so sad.
“Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press that they killed the foreigners because they were “spying for the Americans” and “preaching Christianity.”
Frans said the International Assistance Mission, the longest serving nongovernmental organization operating in Afghanistan, is registered as a nonprofit Christian organization but does not proselytize.”
They were SHOWING their Christinaity in their ACTIONS. This is very threatening to evil people.
Bump!
Any reaction from our Muslim, ole Barry?
Geesh!
How idiotic we look to the world.
Nuke the Islamist parasites until they GLOW - Then shoot them in the dark!
Another moment brought to you by Islam... “Religion of Peace”

The latest is that an Afghan guide that died ratted the group out to a local Talib/bandit relative, for a cut of the proceeds. They were ambushed for money and ransom. Several made a run for it in the village they stopped in, and the Talib opened fire killing them all.
2 Americans, 6 Germans, 2 Afghans dead. Happened at Kili Zangal village, Koshal area, Kiran wa Munjan district, Badakhshan province.
The group had been invited to Nuristan to provide medical care there, were done and returning to the Noor Eye Hospital in Kabul where they worked.

I understand the president is playing golf this weekend.
Yep, that’s just jihad propaganda.
The truth is — it’s all about killing Christians and some of those Christians murdered were Americans.

“HIzb-i-Islami, Taliban both claim killing 10 medical workers in northern Afghanistan”
By BILL ROGGIO
August 7, 2010
SNIPPET: “Both the Taliban and the Hizb-i-Islam Gulbuddin claimed to have killed 10 medical personnel, including eight foreigners, during an ambush in the remote northeastern province of Badakhshan.
The 10 aid workers were traveling to Kabul from Nuristan province, and passed through a forest in Badakhshan, where they were ambushed and executed on Thursday, Aqa Noor Kintoz, the Provincial Police Chief of Badakhshan told TOLOnews.
“These ten persons came to Badakhshan through Panjshir, and introduced themselves as doctors, and returned to Nuristan after a few days,” the police chief said. “While returning from Nuristan province to Keran district of Badakhshan, ten militants followed them on the way, killing them after they escaped to the jungles, and they took their money as well.”
Six of the medical workers killed were Americans, two were Afghans, one was a Briton, and another was a German, Voice of America reported. Two other Afghans with the group escaped; one claimed he was freed after he recited passages from the Koran.
A spokesman from Hizb-i-Islami Gulbuddin, or HIG, contacted TOLOnews and said the 10 medical workers were killed because they were “spies” who “had gone to the province for espionage.” A Hizb-i-Islami spokesman also contacted Pajhwok Afghan News to claim the attack.
A Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, also claimed the murder of the 10 aid workers and said they were killed for proselytizing Christianity. Mujahid told Reuters that the medical team had Bibles translated in Dari in their possession when they were shot and killed.”
If I was our spy chief, I’d bait the Taliban with some “charity” hospital workers...
That sounds like a good idea to me.
The sting operation is a common law enforcement tool. I cannot see why it can’t be used in a war application.
mooslim credo: I love you. I will kill you and your children. Boom! Slash!
