US Marines assault Taliban town in Afghanistan
Fighting is still under way hours later, with U.S. Marine Harrier jets streaking over the town and dropping flares in a show of force.Marines have captured several suspects and seized about 66 pounds (30 kilos) of opium. Really? I'm shocked that a student of Islam would have anything to do with drugs. After all, isn't it unislamic, like everything else they can't seem to handle? Anyone have any idea what this represents? Do the Taliban take money or a percentage of the drugs directly? I would think that they would prefer the drug because it is probably more negotiable and easier to carry. A-Pee story. Rest at link. Posted by: gorb 2009-08-12 |
