| Yvonne Ridley embraces Islam... |
| 2002-08-03 |
| According to recent information, British journalist Yvonne Ridley who was arrested and held during the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, has now embraced Islam after studying the Holy Quran. She went to Afghanistan illegally a few days prior to US attacks. The articles she wrote describing her eleven days in Taliban custody were published in all the leading newspapers of the world. '11 Days in the Prison of the Taliban' is a book that has so far sold millions of copies around the world and is a proof of the justice and sincerity of the Taliban. Yvonne was apparently dropped on her head sometime in the course of her captivity. She was under the delusion that she was important enough that Western intelligence agencies tried to get her killed. |

| #1 The link is great, a quote "One chapter, "Carrying On up the Khyber", tells of how she almost shot dead several soldiers when her scarf got caught in the semiautomatic she was holding while posing in a very "Boadicea-like manner" for a photograph." A real asset to Islam and the Taliban. |
