| Paradise lost – here lie the remains of a school for teenage Taleban |
| 2010-03-17 |
| The warning on the wall was written in blood. “All who fight us shall face this same fate,' it stated in swirling, Urdu script, ochre red with the passing of sun and rain. “We've had the stains analysed — they are human,' confirmed Lieutenant-Colonel Yusuf, whose Frontier Force troops had captured the compound, a Taleban training school just north of the insurgents' former headquarters in Makeen, South Waziristan. Every bit as macabre as the faded threat was the strip of blue-tiled guttering that lay at the foot of the wall beneath it. Colonel Yusuf's men had found it splattered in gore. The uniforms of two missing Pakistani soldiers lay near by. “We know from our intelligence sources that this is where the Taleban kept their prisoners. And this is where they trained young boys to slaughter them.' As the Pakistani Army consolidates its positions in South Waziristan, the Taleban heartland seized by security forces during a five-month operation that began in October last year, they have discovered a world permeated by exhortations for sacrifice, slaughter and suicide. The beheading of prisoners was not the only art taught to the Taleban pupils in the compound at Nawaz Kot — nicknamed “Paradise House' by the soldiers who stormed it in the early stages of Operation Rah-e-Nijat, or Path to Salvation. |
