Taliban targets Nato and US supply convoys - 23 Nov 08

Taliban fighters in Afghanistan are trying to cut off vital supply routes used to deliver food to Nato forces.

Convoys of trucks from Pakistan have to travel along one exposed highway, making them vulnerable to Taliban ambush.

David Chater has been to the scene of the latest attack in Aziz Khan Kaly, near Jalalabad.

@Deanynwuddles Arguments and facts and not insults suitable to describe your own person please.

@LockupSean When I see a dick-head comment like that, my head nearly explodes with essay's worth of information to tell you that everything you said is complete bullshit.

Afghanistan was invaded based on a lie. The lie that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for 911 and yet he never was on the most wanted list of the FBI nor could the USA so far show any evidence for their false claim. Bin Laden was a CIA asset and was working closely with the CIA. He died on December 12 2001. Every nation has the right to fight against a foreign occupying force. Afghans too have this right.

@hpfff i'm not defending them im giving you a fact about them that you never knew, I have a pal from afghanistan named mohabat she goes there once a year to visit her family and they say that soldiers are just as big of terrorists as al qaida/taliban because half the time americans/canadians/british troops arent doing their job and do more collateral damage than eliminating taliban

[hpfff]

@MrPakiChan Well I can tell that they're very intelligent, reasonable people when they cut off the heads, slowly, of hostages. That is proof of how smart and sophisticated they are, right? No, the Taliban is a group of barbarians who bullies and butchers the Afghan people and stands for violence, evil, and religious extremism. Why are you defending them? I really don't understand.

@hpfff sorry i meant 60% of their leaders and no this is not a made up fact "Asharq Al-Awsat previously reported that 30 of the 44 high-ranking Al Qaeda members hold university degrees, including some Masters and PhD's, while others are engineering specialists. It was also revealed that some of those arrested received training in light and heavy weaponry, and techniques for preparing explosives and document forgery." straight from aawsat(.)com/english/news(.) asp?section=1&id=18673
