Afghanistan
Taliban banned ‘foreign fighters’ from joining its ranks

[KhaamaPress] Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
ordered to exclude foreign bandidos Death Eaters from their ranks and failure to go against the rule will result in dismissal.

In a statement, the Taliban directed all its members that no one is allowed to arbitrarily let foreign foreigners join the group or give them shelter.

The statement added, that if any of Taliban members are proven to be involved in such activities will be "dismissed", and their groups will be disbanded and for further punishment be referred to the military commission.

Recently Ministry of Defense stated on Sunday, that during a night raid ten Taliban fighters including four Paks were killed in Arghistan district of Kandahar.

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
the Taliban front man denied the report and told the media that no Pak nationals fight alongside the group.
Tolo News adds:
The Taliban has been under criticism by Afghan and US officials for keeping their ties with terrorist groups, particularly al-Qaeda. The Taliban has denied its relations with al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.

According to the UN monitoring team’s report in January, there are 200 to 500 al-Qaeda gunnies across about 11 Afghan provinces.
"We believe that the top leadership of al-Qaeda is still under Taliban protection," a UN official, Edmund Fitton-Brown, said earlier this month.

According to the UN monitoring team’s report in January, there are 200 to 500 al-Qaeda gunnies across about 11 Afghan provinces.

#1  In WW2 the British had a complaint about the US troops quartered there before D-Day: "Over sexed, over paid and over here!" Maybe the locals are just getting tired of their "foreign mercs".
