This footage was shown on Italian TV, showing kidnapped Afghan journalist Ajmal Naqshbandi and Italian journalist Daniele Mastrogiacomo, and their Afghan driver Sayed Agha, bound and surrounded by Taliban gunmen. The video pauses at the moment when Sayed is thrown to the ground and a sword raised to behead him. It continues moments later with Mastrogiacomo in shock, pleading for his life. As we know, he was later released in exchange for 5 Taliban prisoners. Ajmal was tragically beheaded by his savage captors on April 8 after the Afghan government refused to release more prisoners. The two reporters and their driver were captured on 6 March in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

The release of prisoners to save a foreigner but not an Afghan has rightfully outraged many in the country. They see it as a sign of the government's lack of political will, or its outright carelessness with the lives of its own citizens.

The incident has stirred extreme anger at the condemned Taliban, but frustration is also directed at the international community and Karzai government for failing to deliver.

What a tragic waste of yet another innocent life..... my deepest condolences the family and friends of the victims.

  • And we cant take a leak on these fuckers...

  • The Taliban is a product of post-war internecine between Afghanistan provinces, similar to what we see in Mexico's drug cartels or in a smaller scale- The Black Panther Party. It is nihilism clamoring for social order or a system of government. The Taliban were the horses that drew this chariot of fire to the war-torn people of Afghanistan. It did so with such force and impunity as you see here in this video.

    "All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance."
