I'm confused. I just saw on the news that Karzai is saying that he didn't think it was the Taliban. But was it Al-Qaeda? Some :censored: outfit had the weapons.:mad: :mad: :censored: :censored: :scream: :scream:
 
Well Taliban and Al-Quaida isn't the same.
I can recomend you Roland Jacquards book about Osama Bin Laden (you remember that guy they wanted to "hunt down" a few years ago...
This book was written in 2000 but the history of Al-Quaida and the connections to the western world and to the Taliban is verry interesting to read.

Thanks, I'll try to get that book. We have some books about Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and the Taliban at work. I've been *really* distracted due to trips and having to give classes and stuff. Can you say "pressure"? Aarrggh. I hate pressure. :scream: :censored:
