Taliban executes 15 Pakistani soldiers

From here:

A video showing fifteen Pakistani soldiers being lined up and shot dead by a firing squad has been released by the Taliban.

The paramilitary troops were abducted on December 23 in what the terror group described as an operation to avenge the deaths of insurgents in Pakistan.

The release of the horrific video is intended to serve as a warning to Pakistan’s 600,000-member army, which has failed to break the back of the insurgents despite superior firepower and a series of offensives against their strongholds in mountain regions.

Someone should explain to these Taliban chaps that they really shouldn’t go round kidnapping people and shooting them in the back of the head because it will be used as a recruiting tool by the U.S. military.

 

Taliban Hunting Club T-shirts deemed offensive

From here:

A market trader has been banned from selling a ‘morale-boosting’ anti-Taliban T-shirt by council bosses who fear it will offend people.

The T-shirts, which feature the words ‘Taliban Hunting Club’ around a target set behind a skull and two guns, have become popular with soldiers on the front line as well as their relatives at home.

Who exactly is that going to offend? Oh, right, the Taliban; we wouldn’t want to do that – it might make them dislike us.
