‘Good’ Taliban commander halts polio vaccinations over drone strikes.
A Taliban leader in North Waziristan who is favored by the Pakistani state has banned polio vaccinations until the US stops conducting drone airstrikes in the tribal areas.
Hafiz Gul Bahadar, the senior Taliban leader in North Waziristan who is known to shelter top al Qaeda leaders, said the polio vaccination program is “used to spy for America against the mujahideen.” A statement released by Bahadar referenced Dr. Shakil Afridi, the Pakistani doctor who aided the US in finding and killing Osama bin Laden. Adridi is currently serving a 33-year prison sentence for charges of supporting the Laskar-e-Islam, an Islamist terror group based in Khyber.
“As long as drone strikes are not stopped in Waziristan there will be a ban on administering polio jabs,” a statement released by Bahadar’s group said.

Tja, om de nu dør ved drone-beskud eller ved polio er da lige meget. .)

Denne Hafiz Gul Bahadar må da være udviklingshæmmet, han har nok bare aldrig fået en diagnose. Det sker undertiden, at psykopater kan skjule deres sygdom og manglende åndsevner.
Her i landet hører man oftest om det, når det er en arbejdsleder, der ødelægger arbejdsklimaet.
Derfor burde de ansvarlige i Taliban (hvis Taliban har nogen ansvarlige ?), burde få manden mentalundersøgt.
