NATO intercepts letter from Mullah Omar
2010-07-19
The NATO has intercepted a letter from Taliban supreme leader Mullah Muhammad Omar in which he called for any Afghan supporting the government, led by President Hamid Karzai, to be captured or killed, Brigadier Josef Blotz, a spokesman for the NATO, said on Sunday. Talking to reporters, he said that Omar had issued the directive in June. "The message was from Mullah Omar, who is hiding in Pakistan, to his subordinate commanders," he said, adding, the order was to fight coalition forces to death, and to capture and kill any civilian supporting or working for the government or the forces. The letter also said that women should also be killed if found to be helping or providing information to the coalition forces.
Which suggests that some women are helping or providing information to coalition forces. Good for them for showing such independence of spirit!

#4  So much for "peace talks" between the government and Taliban.

Which is likely one of the intentions of the letter.
