| $9/day Jihadis |
| 2008-07-26 |
| Youngsters are being recruited by the Taliban and paid 1,000 rupees a day, or $9, to become jihadis. Would-be jihadi "martyrs" get the princely sum of $120, a big number in a part of the world where only 16 percent of the men and 3 percent of the women can read, and where there is no economic activity in parts of FATA and NWFP. |

| #2 I'm surprised that nobody has yet compared FATA and NWFP to the Gaza Strip. Though I imagine the Gazans would be offended by the comparison. |

| #1 Would-be jihadi "martyrs" get the princely sum of $120 Do they get it in advance, so they can rent a woman before they die (or at least buy an ice cream), or does it go to their families after they blow up? |
