| #4 Tolo News spoke with a "former" Talib who says tis is impossible. However it must be asked, if he is no longer a member, how would he know? It is impossible for the Taliban to open an office in Iran and Pakistan, former Taliban member, Sayed Akbar Agha, told TOLOnews on Thursday. The Wall Street Journal quoted senior Afghan and western officials saying that Iran has allowed the Taliban to open an office in the eastern city of Zahedan to expand options for retaliation if its nuclear facilities come under attack. Zahedan is near the Pakistan and Afghanistan borders and on an easy transit route from Pakistani city of Quetta where many Taliban leaders are based. The office is meant to allow Iran to coordinate with the Taliban against the U.S., the officials said. "This is absolutely impossible. The Taliban would not open an office in Iran because the Afghan people will blame them for any Iranian intervention or attacks. I strongly reject this," Agha said. Mohammad Dehqani, a spokesman for Iranian embassy in Afghanistan, denied the allegations, telling TOLOnews during a phone interview that "foreign governments are trying to create regional conflict for their own benefit." |

| #2 Just different tribes of Orcs is all. They may hate each other - but they hate us far more and would have no problems dropping their hatred for each other to work together to kill us. That is how these 'Islamic groups who hate each other' can become allies in their pursuit of murdering non-muslims. |
