No surprise here, except for those who still think that negotiations or gestures of good will can win over the jihadists. From HiPakistan:
ISLAMABAD: Taliban have vowed to continue their jihad and not miss any opportunity to oust the occupation coalition forces from Afghanistan.
We will not care about our lives and we want to destroy our enemy, Taliban spokesman Abdul Latif Hakimi told Radio Tehran Pushto service. He made it clear that the coalition forces have occupied our country brutally and the Taliban will fight every possible tactics.
Asked why the common people were being killed, Hakimi said that they know their targets very well and such charge is the propaganda from the other side.
The Taliban spokesman said that elections would be dangerous for the existence of Afghanistan, as it has nothing to do with the freedom of our country. He said that the Taliban regard the election as illicit and illegal, but the threat is only for the candidates taking part in the elections.
