Apart from terrorists we have to contend with monkeys as well.
Story:
Kabul – Monkey jihadists? A Chinese news publication has reported that the Taliban is actually training monkeys to shoot and kill American soldiers. As one publication stated, either the news outlet was pranked or has gotten an outrageous scoop.
The coalition forces in Afghanistan have some of the most sophisticated weaponry in the world. NATO powers in the region have everything from fighter jets to dangerous weapons to highly trained combat soldiers.
The Taliban has, well, monkeys. That is what the the People’s Daily, a newspaper owned by the Chinese government, is reporting. According to Friday’s report, the Taliban is recruiting monkeys, training them to use weapons and fight against American troops. American military intelligence experts are calling them “monkey terrorists.”
The insurgents have had a tough time trying to combat against highly-intelligent weaponry but now they may have found an unconventional weapon: monkeys. The Taliban believes they have found an intelligent alternative to the U.S. military’s advanced equipment.
Reporters in the Waziristan tribal area, the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, have allegedly taken photos of “monkey soldiers” holding AK-47 rifles and Bren light machine guns.
The New York Magazine has reported about this in jest and stated on Friday, “No invader has ever conquered Afghanistan, and now we know why. The monkeys will not allow it. It was a good effort, but it’s time to pack it in. This is no longer a fight we can win.”
The Dallas Blog notes that if a “monkey terrorist” actually shoots and kills an American soldier, it would be an embarrassment to one of the most powerful armies in the world.
