Mullah Dadullah- America’s new Frankenstein in Afghanistan
Mullah Dadullah- America’s new Frankenstein in Afghanistan

Mullah Dadullah Akhund, the ruthless Taliban leader in charge of the militia’s campaign against NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in southern and eastern Afghanistan is fast becoming what Abu Musaib al Zarqawi had become for US forces in Iraq.

He shares many traits with Zarqawi, though unlike the slain al Qaeda Iraq chief, he is disabled, having lost one of his legs after stepping on a landmine in Herat in eastern Afghanistan in 1994 while battling the Ahmad Shah Masood led Northern Alliance. He has a fondness for beheading his captives, and is feared by both his opponents and followers. He is also known to behead his followers who disobey him, but is still respected as a leader who can deal a crushing blow to his adversaries.

Deriving sadistic pleasure – by beheading captives – is not the only trait Mullah Dadullah shares with Zarqawi. He churns out propaganda DVD’s encouraging scores of suicide bombers and fighters to participate in the bloody jihad against the US led `occupation forces` and the Karzai government. The DVD’s show him blasting a target with a heavy machine gun, dishing out blessings and ordaining a succession of would-be "martyrs".

The black-turbaned `one-legged Mullah` commands mythological status among his compatriots, which is partly why the Taliban top brass dispatched him for its frontline recruitment campaign to seminaries in Pakistan`s Balochistan province.

1. see, when they execute people, it's called 'sadistic pleasure'... when we execute people
it's called an 'important milestone'. Gotta love that double standard. :eyes:
