Afghan Refugees In Iran 'Sent To Fight' Syrian War
2016-08-10
Mahdi Army proxies, no doubt...
A number of refugees who recently returned from Iran claim that Iranian officials are sending Afghan refugees to Syria to fight for Bashar Assad's regime.

The return refugees also said Iran's intelligence ministry promise Afghans money and permanent residency in exchange for them going to Syria to fight.

#3  The brute force way to fix the Afghan imbalance between adult males and available jobs... But at least they are fighting far away, instead of at home.

#2  Well, Afghans do like to fight, and Iran is willing to pay 'em from the (US taxpayer-provided) money they got from the White House.

#1   "... Iran's intelligence ministry promise Afghans money and permanent residency in exchange for them going to Syria to fight...there are hundreds of unclaimed bodies of Afghans lying in Tehran's mortuary. They said these are the bodies of men who died fighting in Syria..."
