Bill Roggio reports at Long War Journal that:
Just one week after overrunning a district in the northern province of Jawzjan, the Afghan Taliban are now touting the existence of a training camp in neighboring Faryab province.
This is not what one would expect of an enemy that is reputed to hide in the shadows and attack in the dark.
The Taliban publicized the training camp, which they claimed is in the northern province of Faryab, in an hour-long video that was released on Dec. 18 on their official propaganda website, Voice of Jihad.
The Taliban has a media arm of which it is, evidently, quite proud, saying:
… the video was produced by “The workers of Multimedia Branch of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Cultural Commission” and created to “notify us about the ongoing situation in Faryab province, Mujahideen military advancements and other noticeable achievements.”
And you can bet it will never be intimidated; never back down the way Sony did.
