03/16/2009: "Taliban threaten to kill aid workers as spies"

A top Taliban commander has issued a new threat to foreign aid workers, saying that under the insurgent group's new "constitution" they will execute them as spies or hold them in exchange for the release of Taliban fighters.

In the 15-minute interview, arranged by an intermediary for CNN, Hanafi repeated the Taliban's pledge to keep girls out of public schools.

"In my opinion," he added, "Taliban aren't allowing girls to go to schools because Taliban want women to preserve their respect by staying in their homes, not to work as laborers for others."

[ The west should not have troops in other countries trying to force our unwelcome culture onto them. In any case our own culture is modern, artificial and is killling us. ]
