“They also accuse us of shooting essentially what is fake material, staged action from the Taliban… We did not.”
Maybe they didn’t, but the accusation itself is interesting, given the abundant proof that Palestinian jihadists stage atrocity scenarios for the benefit of a gullible and/or complicit press corps. Is it going on in Afghanistan as well? Why not? After all, as Muhammad said, “War is deceit.”
“Al-Jazeera Afghan staff set free,” from the BBC, June 17 (thanks to Alan of England):
Two journalists for the Arabic TV network al-Jazeera have been freed two three days after being arrested by Afghan intelligence agents.
The broadcaster had not been able to contact Qais Azimy and Hameedullah Shah since they were detained on Sunday.
But al-Jazeera now says the two men – Afghan producers for its English and Arabic channels – have been freed….
“We don’t know what they are charged with. We don’t know when they might be released. We know absolutely nothing,” al-Jazeera’s Kabul correspondent David Chater said before their release.
“Intelligence forces that are holding our two producers… accuse us of producing something that is unbalanced, with no government representative.
“That is clearly untrue… They also accuse us of shooting essentially what is fake material, staged action from the Taliban… We did not.”…
Of course not!
