Thousands attend Taliban funeral
 Thousands of mourners, including militants with assault rifles, attended a funeral on Thursday in a Pakistani tribal village for a Taliban fighter allegedly killed in a NATO raid in Afghanistan, witnesses said. About 4,000 people attended the funeral in the North Waziristan regions Eidak village, said a local tribesman who attended the service. He declined to give his name, citing concerns for his own safety. Mourners included hundreds of militants with long hair and beards, who arrived in dozens of pickup trucks with dark, tinted windows. Musta been somebody important. I do hope he suffered. Posted by: Fred 2007-01-19 |
