London, Jan 3 (ANI): British commanders have claimed that troops fighting in Afghanistan have killed UK Muslims fighting alongside the Taliban.
British military intelligence reports suggest that a small number of UK nationals are among the range of foreign fighters who regularly clash with British troops in Afghanistan, The Telegraph reports.
British military sources said they believe that some of those Britons have been killed fighting against their own countrys forces.
The revelation comes amid a growing concern among British military and intelligence officials about militants based in Pakistan launching attacks on British interests in Afghanistan and at home.
Foreign fighters enter Afghanistan from Pakistans lawless border areas, home to the reconstituted al-Qaeda leadership, the paper said.
British commanders in Helmand say they have intelligence suggesting that British Muslims are among the enemies they face, albeit in small numbers.
Were talking about ones and twos at a time. Its not big numbers, but they are there, definitely, said one officer.
Some of those British Muslims may have been killed in battle with British troops, military sources said.
Confirmation is near impossible, but British troop commanders believe that UK nationals are among the enemy dead.
One officer said: We cant say for sure. If they dont carry passports, who can you say what nationality a corpse is? But its a reasonable assumption that we”ve killed some of them.
Another security source highlighted the case of Rashid Rauf, the Birmingham man wanted by British police in connection with a 2006 plot to bomb transatlantic airliners.
Rauf is believed to have been killed inside Pakistan in a CIA missile attack in November. Hes not the only British Muslim to die out here, said the source.
In August, Brigadier Ed Butler, the former commander of UK forces in Afghanistan, told the Telegraph that there are British passport holders in the Taliban ranks.
And earlier this year, it was revealed that RAF Nimrod surveillance planes monitoring Taliban radio signals in Afghanistan had heard militants speaking with Yorkshire and Midlands accents. (ANI)

Catch 22.,
I see the spread of Islamic fascism everywhere – I’m not paranoid or the only one.
Now here comes the catch; I’m to obey the Laws of England which state I must not
criticize Immigration, (full stop), the Islamic ‘Religion’ (others are OK), or cause
offence to anyone, (but especially Muslims); how on earth do I (legally) oppose
the spread of Islamic fascism? The answer is that I probably can’t!
I can’t expect support from my own Government, or even a large part of our, sorry
to say, brainwashed and pathetically lethargic population, as what concerns me has
nothing to do with ‘Big Brother’, or house prices! I cannot expect any support from
the Police, who are to concerned with catching ‘dangerous’ individuals like myself
from expressing their views. (Sorry Boys in Blue, the line, ‘I’m only doing my job’,
doesn’t wash with me, you can see what’s happening to your Country, you are
moral cowards!). Young people? I’m afraid not, they’re being indoctrinated into
Islam at school as we speak, along with Global warming, all forms of Political
correctness and the ’merits’ of the E.U.
Do I feel ‘enriched’ by the ‘Diversity’ I see around me? Has my own Western culture
been ‘enhanced’ by the sight of Mosques and women with black bin bags over their
heads? If I see a Muslim acting suspiciously and ‘phone the Police, a whole City will
be sealed off and investigated. Why is it then, that if I say I’m suspicious of Muslims,
I’m suddenly a racist? But of course this would never happen, as in our Brave New
World we are told there are no terrorists, just misguided youth, as we’ve all been told
and forced to acknowledge that Islam is a peaceful Religion! NO, not me: I will never
bow to an ancient demonic deity, an old mentally disturbed pedophile who once crawled
across Asian waste lands, by the name of Muhammed, (Human waste be upon him),
and upon the heads of all the naïve Liberal Muslim supporters who are destroying this
once great and proud Country.
