[Tolo News] Some of the Talibs who had joined the grinding of the peace processor were involved in the attack on the UN office in Mazar-e-Sharif, Sherlocks find. A delegation that was recently sent to the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif to investigate about the deadly attack on the UN office has said some of those who had apparently renounced violence and joined the grinding of the peace processor were involved in the attack and the murder of the UN workers.
A peaceful protest in reaction to the recent Koran burning by an American pastor was staged in Mazar-e-Sharif on April 1, but it suddenly turned violent with some protesters breaking into the UN office killing 7 foreign workers.
"One day we will have to analyse why the protests only took place in Afghanistan," Mr de Mistura has said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Jane reached into her purse for her .38... the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer... has written that the violence has showed a disturbing gauge of Taliban influence in Mazar-e-Sharif. "Whether the killings were planned or not, the violence has proved to be a disturbing gauge of the depths of Taliban influence in this progressive northern city, and of its potential to foment unrest in the months ahead," the Times has written.

#4 I am beginning to understand Tamerlane's approach to diplomatic relations with those of the moslem faith(?). While he was obstensibly moslem, he was first and foremost a Mongol and he didn't believe in the peace process. He exterminated cities. Much as the Assyrians would butcher, impale and carry off into exile entire populations to insure there was never a chance for revolt from the locals... Why is Christianity and Judaism vilified and Islam is given the kid glove treatment? |

#3 How can you tell if a Talibunny is lying? 1. He's breathing. |

#1 Somehow I just can't manage to feel any sympathy for UN---or, indeed, anyone who refuses to admit that Islam is something else. |
