| 2009-05-20 |
| LAHORE: A Taliban arrested from a Taliban training camp destroyed by security forces in Swat district’s Matta tehsil has revealed that the Taliban forcibly recruit and train people to fight against the military, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday. The arrested Taliban said he was a student of a seminary from where the Taliban took him and asked him to join them for fighting the army.“They said you will have to fight against the army and threatened to kill me if I did not join them and got training,” the channel quoted the arrested Taliban as saying. He said another 150 persons were being trained at the camp when the security forces destroyed it. |

| #8 sounds like a damn excuse they know just may help them get out of trouble. every man in this country has a weapon and would fight anything else they thought was an injustice so why not this? Especially if they feel they are shaming their religion so why does no one ever do it against the taliban. Hey, e.e. cummings, this is the Pakistani NW, not Afghanistan. One, not every man in Swat carries a weapon. The Taliban at this point are the equivalent of the VC or the Mexican drug cartels. There's a lot of them, any opposition to them is either scattered or intimidated, and the lcoal authorities are either sympathetic, intimidated, or bought off. |

| #4 The UN approves of forcing ppl to do things against their will, if it's for the good of the ummah. |

| #3 An echo, not a choice. Smells just like the Tamil Tigers. I'm sure the UN will be against actually dismantling this sort of thing. It's their culture, after all. |
