The picture here is wrong choice, it shows the Tajik fighters form Panshir valley who are traditional enemies of taliban ( remember general Massud killed by taliban loyal terrorists just before 9-11) so illustrating this article with such a picture is sth as if you would show a bunch of smiling VietCong soldiers tgthr with article on May Lai massacre.

well spotted mate... I will upload a correct version
by the way coming back to the story.. these continuous attacks are a disgrace.. how these hundreds of fighters manage to melt away in thin air is shameful performance of pakistani goverment regarding the safeguarding of these terminals.

this photo came with the blog, dears. no caption, but.... didn't say it was taliban. Maybe these are some who are fighting the Taliban alongside the NATO forces.

I fail to understand why the people from the areas in question get all bent out of shape about the picture, rather than the attack by the Taliban. They fade into the background, cuz they dress like locals and attack with masks, like the cowards they are. It's so obvious to me anyway.

Perhaps the first clue is the absence of beards, favoured by the Taliban, as they leave them unshorn, but as Rene says, if no caption is present and in an article what is one to think? But then media are known for their Artistic license. Though if it were a photo of Pol Pots men, well that would be news!
