This past Thursday, taliban terrorists with the help of sympathizers, from within the Afghan government, blew up an Italian convoy. Now the taliban have pledged more attacks along the same line as the one from this past Thursday.
What I would like to know is who these sympathizers are. Is treason punishable by death in Afghanistan? AKI
Kabul, 18 Sept. (AKI) - By Syed Saleem Shahzad - The devastating suicide car bombing which killed six Italian soldiers in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Thursday, signals a significant shift in Taliban strategy. The Taliban have not only penetrated the local administration in Kabul, but cleverly moved its loyal militants from the eastern province of Khost to the capital for the attack.[...]
Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid admitted responsibility for Thursday's attack in several text message to several media organisations. However he did not respond to calls from journalists.
Ahead of Thursday's deadly attack, an observation post was created with the help of Taliban sympathisers inside the government.
They detected three vehicles travelling down the main road to the airport.
The suicide bomber’s vehicle was able to penetrate the military convoy and position itself between two of the armoured vehicles, according to the unnamed Pashtun commander.
The commander claimed that the sympathisers manning the militants' observation post confirmed the success of the mission.[...]
Sirajuddin Haqqani’s network has emerged as the most powerful in inflicting major attacks against the NATO troops in Kabul.
Sirajuddin Haqqani assumed his position from his father, legendary Afghan commander Jalaluddin Haqqani who for years fought against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s.
