The Afghan valley proud of its young suicide bombers
[France24] Taliban-trained suicide bomber Ismail Ashuqullah regrets missing the chance to blow himself up at the height of the Afghan war -- like many other young men from the lush green Tangi Valley.He had fought for eight years with the Taliban  ...mindless ferocity in a turban...against US-led foreign forces and Afghan government troops before joining a special brigade trained for suicide missions. But the withdrawal of foreign troops in 2021 and the collapse of the Western-backed government meant he missed his chance. Posted by: trailing wife 2023-06-10 |
