New Taliban leader promises suicide attacks and jihad -- meet the new boss, same as the old boss. By Noor Khan for The Associated Press:
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- A man identified on tape as the Taliban's new top field commander warned Wednesday that new recruits were volunteering as suicide bombers and that fighters would continue their holy war until Western powers leave Afghanistan.Violence struck throughout the country with two bomb blasts that killed four people, including a Finnish soldier in the usually quiet north. NATO said it attacked a meeting of Taliban leaders in the south, killing an unspecified number of militants.
Shuhabuddin Athul, a Taliban spokesman, played an audio tape over the telephone to an Associated Press reporter that Athul said was a recording of Dadullah Mansoor, brother and replacement of Mullah Dadullah, the top Taliban commander shot to death in a U.S. operation this month in southern Afghanistan.
The man on the tape said Taliban fighters were ready to avenge his brother's death and would "pursue holy war until the occupying countries leave."
"They will pursue their attacks against occupying countries and the (Afghan) government," he said in a first public statement. "The number of suicide attackers is increasing. ... All of the Taliban, we are ready to carry out suicide attacks, roadside bombs and ambushes against the Americans and the government."

Does that seem kinda strange? Or doesn't Dadullah II sully his hands with infidel inventions like the telephone? Or maybe they think playing tapes down the phone gives it more authenticity?
Weird.
And, uh, how is 'Taleban leader promises jihad' news anyhow? If I were on the call, I would have yawned and said 'So, what else is new, caveman?'

Just like cockroaches, ya squish one, ten more crawl out from under the stove. And just like cockroaches we should be eradicating them with massive force. Do we still have napalm? or those really cool flame throwers the marines used in the pacific to get the bad guys out of the caves?

LOL at cockroaches!
Massive force is not doable when the fanatics are living among us!
But im not worried. I am busting out laughing right now. I was researching this extremist scholar from ICNA Whyislam and found this. Check it out and tell me if we can get this guy a date before he becomes Taliban on us. HAHA

yes, we still have napalm and flamethrowers...but the military is reluctant to use them as the terrorists usually surround themselves with "civilians" unlike the Japanese who fought and died like real men.....
