Confirmed: British muslim fighting for taliban

There have been earlier reports about British muslims fighting for the taliban but the MoD now has physical evidence. DNA found from an unexploded IED belongs to naturalised British citizen from Pakistan. It is believed he was radicalized in Britain. Telegraph

The man was identified after his DNA was found on an unexploded roadside device defused by disposal experts in Afghanistan's Helmand province, according to The Sun.

The newspaper reported that the trace was sent to the UK for analysis and fed into a database of criminals and terror suspects.

It proved an exact match for a known Muslim extremist naturalised in England after arriving from Pakistan.

It is believed that he became radicalised in the UK before leaving for Afghanistan two years ago. The DNA find is the first physical proof of the existence of British Taliban soldiers.
