Ex-militant: UK paid, trained Taliban

Are you standing on the Rock of Salvation?

Ex-militant: UK paid, trained Taliban. Following reports that the UK supports peace with the Taliban, a former member of the militant group says British forces have paid and trained the militants in southern Afghanistan. Mullah Abdul Salam Hanafi told the benawa news website that the British forces have trained Taliban militants in Helmand for years.

Hanafi claims Taliban militant were paid USD 300 per month by the British.

He also claimed that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is being kept in the Pakistani city of Karachi.

Hanafi was the governor of central Urozgan Province under the Taliban regime.

The developments come as senior officials in the UK have floated the idea of making peace with

the Taliban -- the militant group whose uprooting was one of the main objectives of the 2001 US-led invasion.

Nine years later, Afghanistan remains unstable and civilians continue to pay the price.

Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near:Isaiah 55:7Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
John 3:16
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life

God bless you!
