who gave taliban weapons?



Investigative journalists like Wayne Madsen and Gareth Porter have been challenging claims made by U.S. officials and Taliban commanders that Iran is providing insurgents with tank killing mines in Afghanistan. These experts say that the TC-6 Italian-made mines were actually provided by the United States to the Jihadi Movement back in the 1980s. So why does there seem to be a concerted effort on the part of the U.S. Government and the media to blame Iran? RT's Dina Gusovsky discusses this issue with RT Contributor Wayne Madsen.


Taliban worked to prevent 9/11



Evidence now available from various sources, including recently declassified US State Department documents, shows that the Taliban regime led by Mullah Mohammad Omar imposed strict isolation on Osama bin Laden after 1998 to prevent him from carrying out any plots against the United States. It also bolsters the credibility of Taliban statements in recent months asserting that it has no interest in Al Qaeda's global jihadist aims.
