Taliban Impostor

This blog set to diaplay 20 days of posts. Sorry Blogspot only shows 3 days, waiting for a Google fix, G

high-level discussions between Karzai and Taliban conducted with the assistance of NATO appear to have achieved little. The guy wasn't Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, one of the most senior commanders in the Taliban movement.
“It’s not him,” said a Western diplomat in Kabul intimately involved in the discussions. “And we gave him a lot of money.”
The fake Taliban leader even met with President Hamid Karzai, having been flown to Kabul on a NATO aircraft and ushered into the presidential palace, officials said.
But an Impostor.

Other Taliban leaders.

More coming.
From our source inside beltway:

The use of stand-ins or doubles is a common practice among the Pakhtun. How does a shop-keeper in Kandahar show up in Paktia, travel to N Waziristan, get on one of our helo's, which was piloted by USAF pilots and then have tea with Karzai.....3 times?

 

The real Akhtar is short and fat and the former head of civil aviation for the Taliban-Afghan government and one of the largest drug smugglers in E Afghanistan. He is far too valuable to the enemy to be presented to NATO in person.



Yes they used a stand-in, but he was handled by the real enemy command and certainly passed on all he learned.
You have to remember that 80%+ Pakhtun births are from first cousins. It is easy to find look-alikes.
