Pakistan Swapped Top Taliban Leaders For Ambassador
No - Im NOT kidding…
Now you KNOW Pakistan is NOT an ally
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan swapped two senior Taliban leaders for the release of its kidnapped envoy to Afghanistan, a media report said on Wednesday.
“Despite the fact that the government authorities have repeatedly denied the release, both the militant leaders reached Afghanistan around two weeks back,” the News said. Quoting sources, it said the two leaders, identified as Mullah Obaidullah Akhund and Mullah Mansoor Dadullah, were freed along with “hundreds” of other militants to secure the release of Pakistani envoy to Afghanistan Tariq Azizuddin.
An eminent jihadi leader from Afghanistan confirmed it, saying the two militant leaders had reached their homeland around two weeks back.
“The release of both the Taliban commanders was part of a package deal between the Pakistani authorities and the Taliban under which 35 army personnel were also released besides Pakistani ambassador and his staff,” the News quoted the jihadi leader, who was not identified, as saying.
Taliban militants had abducted Azizuddin three months ago while he was travelling in Pakistan’s tribal areas in the country’s north. He was released on May 15.

That little bastard took our money, skimmed his cut, and let Bin Laden and the Taleban come and go as they please. We just need to keep those drones busy till we get our man…

If we have no prisoners, there is no possibility of a trade.
