| Paks head off to join the jihad |
| 2001-10-29 |
Thousands of Pakistanis are heading to Afghanistan, vowing to join the Taliban's jihad against America. The wannabe mujahedeen were armed with "assault rifles, machine guns, even rocket launchers. A few even carried axes and swords." The Taliban's response? Thanks, but no thanks, according to London's Telegraph. "If they go there, there will be a lot of congestion and the probability of mass casualties will be higher," says Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Talib envoy in Islamabad. "If they are needed then we will tell them. With the air strikes in Afghanistan it is very dangerous for them to be in Afghanistan so we have not requested their presence at this stage." Gee, it's good to have friends like these. |
