Dead Taliban Leader Was Training U.S. Recruits
Source: ABC News

Thirty-six hours before he was killed by U.S. forces, Taliban Commander Mullah Dadullah said he was training American and British citizens to carry out suicide missions in their home countries, according to a videotape interview to be broadcast on ABC News' "World News" Monday.

"We will be executing attacks in Britain and the U.S. to demonstrate our sincerity," he told an Afghan interviewer, "to destroy their cities as they have destroyed our cities."

A senior U.S. official told the Blotter on ABCNews.com that recent intelligence reports confirmed Dadullah's claim that U.S. citizens were being trained in Taliban and al Qaeda camps.

"The number is small, not large, but even once is dangerous," the official said.

1. Yeah, and he was trying out for a role in the next SURVIVOR series, and
working hard to polish his dancing talents so he could be next season's one-legged contestant on Dancing With The Stars as well. Such a busy guy!

2. Yeah, but we've branched out from getting Al-Qaeda's #2 to
the Taliban's #2. Mullah Omar is as elusive as Osama, but by gosh they go through more right-hand guys than Murphy Brown used to go through secretaries.

9. The CIA's own official website used to say that it needed to find a mission
Edited on Mon May-14-07 06:11 PM by truedelphi
That would enable it to harden the National Guard to carry out

military actions against US citizens.

The mission statement remained up until sometime in mid summer 2002

Just sayin'

10. The Undead join al Qaeda

Dead Taliban Leader Was Training U.S. Recruits
Coalition forces were stunned earlier today when it was discovered that a dead Taliban leader was training recruits from the United States. A Pentagon spokesperson, under conditions of anonymity, had this to say. "Frankly, we're at a loss here. If al Qaeda has the connections to utilize the Zombie community, what's next? We're hoping that rumours of Vampires and Werewolves will prove to be baseless."
