The Taliban, in the Musa Qala district, hanged a civilian man from an electric pole today because he was supposedly a spy for American troops and Afghan forces. Now, if you remember, Musa Qala is the battle just waged a few weeks ago where the Taliban was humiliated and wiped out and forced out of Musa Qala by Coalition and Afghan forces. So, what do you think? You think this guy was really a spy or you think someone is a little bitter about having their ass handed to them?
The Taliban seem pretty brave hanging an innocent civilian....a different picture than the Taliban we saw running like scared rabbits for the mountains to escape Musa Qala.
Here's the brief story. I've excerpted the entire story below.
