An Afghan-born BBC anchor received a startling call from a Taliban spokesman while she was reporting live on air after the extremist group toppled the government.
Yalda Hakim kept her poise when Suhail Shaheen dialed her mobile phone while she was conducting an interview, according to the Sun.
She quickly switched gears, transferred Shaheen to a loudspeaker and peppered the rep with questions as the Taliban declared victory in Kabul 20 years after being removed from power by US-led forces.
“OK, we have got the Taliban’s spokesperson Shail Shaheen on the line. Mr. Shaheen, can you hear me?” the Australian journalist said.
After confirming that he could hear her, Shaheen launched into a speech in which he promised “peace” in the war-

“Peace” is when all your enemies are dead.
Guy just happened to have her personal cell number?

Just a coincidence, I am sure...
It’s the BBC. Not quite as slimy as the Guardian, but really trying hard.
Calling for another date ?
Great... Had her on speed dial.

Well...she did have a profile on jihotties.com. :o)
Yes he said watch this one I call it the triple lindy
Or fully-converted to believers/supporters.
I think BBC hid or fired all their male anchors and hired all women of all colors
An Afghan-born BBC anchor....
Pathetic.
(a) presenters are not normally allowed to have a mobile phone with them due to the problem with interference caused to other equipment an the risk of a call sound or vibration being heard.
(b) he has her mobile number and just happens to see her on air and calls her.
(c) the news desk allow the call to be transmitted live (subject perhaps to the old “profanity” delay), without confirming the caller’s identity etc.
(d) this terrorist is happy to speak to a women, in a position of some power, while normally treating women with no respect whatsoever.
Add the above together and it was staged, but interesting. She will win all the media awards this year.
Thanks for the laugh
“Great... Had her on speed dial.”
