[17 July 2012] Paying Taliban to lay down arms is not effective - English US-led NATO says the strategy of buying the loyalty of Taliban members in Afghanistan has proved to be a failure as only around 5,000 militants have responded to the strategy by giving up their weapons. The US-led Western military alliance said that the plan has had very little effect across Afghanistan so far. The program, which started in October 2010, offers a stipend of USD 360 over three months to each Taliban militant who lays down arms and joins the program. The US-led invasion of Afghanistan was launched in 2001. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of tens of thousands of US-led troops there. The US-led war in Afghanistan, with civilian and military casualties at record high, has become one of the longest wars in US history. Press TV has conducted an interview with Carl Osgood, Executive Intelligence Review, from Washington, to further discuss the issue.

The Taliban have admitted that they hid the death of their former leader Mullah Omar for two years. The group says the news had to be kept secret until foreign forces left Afghanistan. The Taliban confirmed in July that Omar died but did NOT clarify the date. Many insurgents have accused the top leadership of keeping them in the dark while issuing statements in his name. The cover-up was explained in a biography of new Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour. The Taliban apparently came under pressure to confirm the death after the Afghan spy agency revealed that he died two years ago in a Karachi hospital.

Pakistan under attack by TALIBAN and AMERICA - 16May09 - English. Taliban vs. US is a setup to make sure that the Pakistani Nation get stressed and surrender to the world powers and not even think about any revolution. Recent activities in Pakistan are the evident proof of targeting the passion of Pakistani people for Islam. The main objective behind the whole clash between Taliban and US is to drive people of Pakistan away from true Islam. The distorted version of Islam presented to people of Pakistan using Taliban has nothing to do with any teachings of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.w). This technique has been used in past to drive christians and jews away from the teachings of Prophet Eesa (a.s) and Prophet Moses (a.s). The activities that were performed in the name of Christianity and Judaism had nothing to do with the teachings of original Christianity and Judaism. As a result, Christians and Jewish turned away from their religion and allowed some selfish and money and control freaks to hijack their religion. We, as a Muslim, and the followers of Ahlulbayt (a.s) have a big responsibility. This responsibility includes but is not limited to is to stick to the pure Muhammadan religion and spread the true teachings of Rasool Allah.
