I THOUGHT THEY LOVED GOATS: Goats Killed In Afghanistan In Celebration of Terrorists Release
Goats have been slaughtered and served up across Afghanistan as the Taliban celebrates the release of five Guantanamo Bay detainees as part of a prisoner exchange.
A senior member of the Afghan Taliban has described the exchange of the five detainees for U.S. Army Sgt Bowe Bergdahl as a ‘historic moment for us’.
The five detainees – Mohammad Fazl, Khairullah Khairkhwa, Mullah Norullah Noori, Mohammed Nabi and Abdul Haq Wasiq – are thought to be the most senior Afghans who were held at the U.S. detention facility in Cuba, having been captured during America’s military campaign in 2001.
The Taliban commander told NBC News the exchange was the first time its ‘enemy’ had ‘officially recognized our status.’
He said: ‘Once we confirmed the arrival of our five heroes back in Qatar, celebrations started everywhere in Afghanistan and the neighboring Pakistan.’
He went on to say: ‘Goats are being slaughtered and served with guests and in some places goats are being cooked in rice.’
