Brit deserts enemy
A BRITISH Muslim who went to Afghanistan to fight with the Taliban has deserted after just one brief taste of battle.
Mechanic Abu Mindar, 26, from London, is now safely in Pakistan after nearly being shot dead in a skirmish with the Northern Alliance.
He would like to return to his wife and family in the East End, but fears he could be arrested for treason.
Mindar said: "Maybe I was naive but I was told there would be proper training.
"I thought I would be joining an organised military unit — but it was chaos. They are liars and lunatics."
Yasir Khan, 24, from Crawley, West Sussex, and three pals from Luton, have already been killed by a US rocket near Kabul.
Another Brit, a 21-year-old calling himself Abdul from Dagenham, is in Afghanistan where he boasts he will kill British soldiers.
Mindar decided to jet out to Karachi, Pakistan, after a British Islamic Group meeting in London. He was then driven to Afghanistan and early this week was taken to the front line.
Mindar went on: “We were driven for miles to what looked like the middle of nowhere.
“A commander handed me a Kalashnikov and gestured for me to fire at an enemy I couldn’t see because of a cloud of dust.
“There were other Taliban around and suddenly everyone started firing. I wasn’t used to handling a gun and the ricochet nearly tore the gun from my grasp. The fire arced up in the air, took off the top of a tree and nearly decapitated the others.
“The other side were firing and there was nowhere to take cover. Everyone was shouting, some got shot. I didn’t know what to do.”
During a 20-minute firefight three Taliban were wounded.
Mindar added: “Some of the others were shouting victory slogans but we hadn’t done anything except get ourselves shot.
“It wasn’t the danger I minded, I expected shooting. It was the recklessness of the Taliban and the complete disregard that they had for those who were fighting for them.”
“There were other Taliban around and suddenly everyone started firing. I wasn’t used to handling a gun and the ricochet nearly tore the gun from my grasp. The fire arced up in the air, took off the top of a tree and nearly decapitated the others.
I guess the scumbag blockhead is talking about the recoil.
I laughed, I cried, I ROTFLMAO.
Top Two Lessons for Brave Islamic Warriors:
2) War is hell.
1) Never, ever believe the recruiter!!!
Wow this was rich.
I'm a little confused here! Was this Mindar fighting WITH the Taliban or with the British troops against the Taliban?
If fighting with the British against the Taliban, how stupid is he to expect that the Taliban would give a hoot about those they are fighting against or even those who were fighting for them.
I think this guy has NO IDEA whose side he is on. And from what he said here, he's real dumbo! This is WAR, what the heck did this guy expect - tea and crumpets?
