Regular readers here will remember my post up a number of days ago when the 15 paramilitary troops in Pakistan's Khyber region were captured by the Taliban and you remember that I said they would be executed and today, a video from the Taliban has been aired where that cowardly act of executing each and every one of these 15 soldiers happened in real time. During the video, the Taliban are heard chanting and warning the Pakistani military that this will be the revenge that happens again and again if the Pakistani army continues to target Taliban fighters.
From the report at DAWN:
Fifteen soldiers stood blindfolded, handcuffed to each other on a barren hilltop as one of their bearded Taliban captors held an AK-47 rifle and spoke with fury about revenge. He left no doubt what would come at any second.
The Taliban kidnapped the paramilitary troops on Dec 23 from near the country’s tribal areas to avenge military operations. Now they have released a video as a warning to the army.
“Twelve of our comrades were besieged and mercilessly martyred in the Khyber Agency (area),” said the militant.
The video then shows the men standing quietly. Taliban chanting can be heard. “We will cross all limits to avenge your blood,” it said, referring to fighters killed by security forces.
One of the men shoves a clip into his assault rifle and fires a few rounds into the back of the heads of a few of the soldiers. “God is greatest,” the Taliban yell.
Other fighters step up and take turns pumping bullets into the men, some wearing green military uniforms. Each time a
soldier collapses, the man standing next to him is pulled in that direction by the handcuffs.
After the shooting ends in the video, the Taliban militants stare at the bodies slumped over on the earth. “If the killing of our friends is not stopped, this will be the fate of all infidel armies, God willing,” says one militant.
And this is the kind of people that the Obama administration insists is worthy of peace talks in Afghanistan. I have said it here at Holger Awakens until I am blue in the face - there is no single group of jihadis on this planet who worship death more than the Taliban...while you and me are wired to breathe, to love, to live...these minions are wired to kill and destroy. In some states in the United States, there are some convicted of heinous crimes that it is determined there can be no rehabilitation and that their crime is so horrific that prolonging their life in prison is not ethical....well, in the world of islamic terror, there is this group called the Taliban who deserve nothing but the death sentence. We simply cannot see that the genes of this group continue to spread.
Taliban video speaks of ‘revenge on military’
DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Fifteen soldiers stood blindfolded, handcuffed to each other on a barren hilltop as one of their bearded Taliban captors held an AK-47 rifle and spoke with fury about revenge. He left no doubt what would come at any second.
The Taliban kidnapped the paramilitary troops on Dec 23 from near the country’s tribal areas to avenge military operations. Now they have released a video as a warning to the army.
“Twelve of our comrades were besieged and mercilessly martyred in the Khyber Agency (area),” said the militant.
“Our pious women were also targeted. To avenge those comrades, we will kill these men. We warn the government of Pakistan that if the killing of our friends is not halted, this will be the fate of you all.”
Before death, one of the men described how dozens of Taliban fighters stormed their fort in the northwestern Tank district and kidnapped the soldiers.
“They attacked us with rockets, killed a sentry. One ran away. The Taliban entered the fort and captured us with our weapons,” he said, sitting in rows with other soldiers with their arms folded and legs crossed in front of Taliban banners.
“They tied our hands, put us in a Datsun and took us away.”
The video then shows the men standing quietly. Taliban chanting can be heard. “We will cross all limits to avenge your blood,” it said, referring to fighters killed by security forces.
One of the men shoves a clip into his assault rifle and fires a few rounds into the back of the heads of a few of the soldiers. “God is greatest,” the Taliban yell.
Other fighters step up and take turns pumping bullets into the men, some wearing green military uniforms. Each time a
soldier collapses, the man standing next to him is pulled in that direction by the handcuffs.
After the shooting ends in the video, the Taliban militants stare at the bodies slumped over on the earth. “If the killing of our friends is not stopped, this will be the fate of all infidel armies, God willing,” says one militant.
Majeed Marwat, a commander of the Frontier Corps said morale among his men would always remain high despite such videos. “Our soldiers enlist because they want to sacrifice for the country. We are taking care of the families of the martyred soldiers,” he said.—Reuters.
