News from the Other Side: Al Jazeera chats up the Talibs
2002-03-28
  • The Al-Jazeera Television Network had an interview with a Taliban Commander who in the interview confirmed the following:

    1. The Taliban currently have 20 Foriegn Troops captured.

    2. Out of these 20 soldiers, two are women, and two and high ranking commanders.

    3. The Taliban are treating these prisoners justly and according to Shariah unlike the treatment of the Mujahideen captured in Cuba.

    4. Some of these Prisoners are from Canada and other countries.

    5. The Taliban have destroyed 16 American War-Planes during "Operation Anaconda". Of these 16, three planes were captured after a ground battle and are completely unharmed. He also said that everytime the Taliban would down a plane, the Americans would continuesly bomb the area in which the Plane fell in order to destroy the Plane. This is out of their paranoia that people will find out the reality of this war.

    6. The guerilla war has just begun and, with the will of Allah, shall escalate in future months against America.
    Just so you know how they say it's going. Hamid Gul was talking about those captures a week or so ago, when it was a dozen people.
