Bzzzz wrong. And now the truth:I never said they were Taliban. They are Mujahideen, which is what SaasyIrishAss was talking about.Those aren't the Taliban! That's Shah Massoud the people that were fighting the Taliban, and later killed by Al Queda. How many times are you guys going to post that fake photo?If anyone "created" OBL it was Carter when he OK'd arming the mujahideen.![]()
These people are affiliated with Taliban. They are called "Haqqani network" and have nothing to do with Masood...
Haqqani network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahmad Shah Massoud (Dari Persian: اØÙ…د شاه مسعود;[1] September 2, 1953 – September 9, 2001) was an Afghan political and military leader, who was a powerful military commander during the resistance against the Soviet occupation between 1979 and 1989 and in the following years of civil war. He was assassinated on September 9, 2001.
Following the rise of the Taliban in 1996, Massoud, who rejected the Taliban's fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, returned to armed opposition until he eventually fled to Kulob, Tajikistan, destroying the Salang Tunnel on his way north. He became the military and political leader of the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (also known in the West as the Northern Alliance). He was assassinated, probably at the instigation of al-Qaeda, in a suicide bombing on September 9, 2001, just two days before the September 11 attacks in the United States which led to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation invading Afghanistan, allying with Massoud's forces.
I know who Masood, "the Lion of Panjshir", is. I was raised with his stories.
But I think you don't know who he is. You thought he was in this picture, which obviously is wrong.
These are the people who Shah Masood was not getting along with, because of their fundamental religious views, and got killed by them.
You have no idea what you are talking about...
