Taliban demand air strike inquiry
"The Taliban have called for a UN and human rights investigation into an air strike in Afghanistan on Friday that killed dozens of people."
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Taliban demand air strike inquiry
Strikes me as odd. Yes this incident needs to be investigated, but wierd that the Taliban are claiming Human Rights breaches based on their past and how the actually came into control of the trucks
, and are appealing to the UN.

If they would care to choose a location for a meeting to discuss this, together with an accurate lat/long, I'm sure that Messrs Hell and Fire would be delighted to attend, with travel arranged by Reaper Airways.
These are the people who threatened to cut off the fingers of people voting in the Afghan elections. That was one of their least extreme atrocities.

I still can't understand why Osama Bin Laden failed to take up the CIA's offer of a meeting with ex President Bush.
Surely he couldn't have found issue with the intended route to the meeting rooms....through Dealey Plaza in Dallas....the CIA have good local knowledge of the area apparantely.

ISAF soldiers secure the site of the car bomb, outside the entrance to the military airport, in Kabul, Afghanistan, 08 Sep 2009
Officials in Afghanistan say a suicide car bomber struck near a military base at the international airport in Kabul early Tuesday, killing three civilians and wounding six.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast, which also wounded an international soldier.

Let's have the Sheet-heads hold an open inquiry into the latest car bombing! While they're holding it do a fly-by with a Paveway...

The original airstrike was in Kunduz province.
While Kabul is in, wait for it.... Kabul province.
Im wandering whether the distance between the two attacks has anything to do with different Taliban attitudes in various parts of the country.
But obviously where ever you are in the country there are still going to be a vast number of them ruthless little buggers.

My initial reaction to this: Ho, ho, Terry's dictionary obviously doesn't include the word 'irony'.
Thinking about it though, the Taliban are constantly adapting their tactics
and this is possibly the first in a clever new line of attack. On the soft underbelly of liberal western democracies that is called Political Correctness.
Terry may actually be trying to be rather clever here, engineering splits between the various countries trying to eradicate him, using the 'PC / Human Rights / western liberal distress over civilian casualties' routine.
They may be wrong (IMNSHO) but unfortunately they aren't complete idiots.
Let's just hope that NATO and the UN don't take the bait...

Meanwhile a journalist who was kidnapped by Terry on Saturday after visiting the scene to report on the civilian deaths has been freed in a rescue by 'NATO' forces.

Unfortunately the rescue resulted in the death of a British soldier
and also of the reporters interpreter.
In true journalistic gratitude, the freed reporter (who has now been kidnapped twice) even manages to point the finger in the direction of his liberators when it comes to the death of his interpreter.
Whilst no doubt true that he could not tell who the shots came from (after all, could any untrained, or even trained person do so with 100% certainty in the middle of a firefight), he didn't have to come out with such a crass statement IMHO. That's gratitude for you.
Maybe the next (3rd) time Farrell gets kidnapped, our forces should leave him to it... After all, he chooses to go there for monetary gain - our forces have enough on their plates as it is.

"There were bullets all around us. I could hear British and Afghan voices," he added.
Munadi went forward, shouting: "Journalist! Journalist!" but was cut down in a hail of bullets.
"I dived in a ditch," added Farrell. He said he did not know whether the shots had come from allied or militant fire.
