Oh, that’s nice. I just received an e-mail from the Taliban. Slightly disconcerting is the fact that it was sent to my personal e-mail address, I have no idea how they got hold of that.
I wasn’t the only recipient, copied on the e-mail were a number of Kabul-based banks and various embassies.
For your reading pleasure (this was the English translation of the Pashtun sent alongside it):
“Islamic Emmirate of
Al Hamza Estishadi Kandak
To all those who scare from the death:
May Peace and blessing be on those who accept Guidance!
Our Attacks are not ended, Just wait, wait…..and wait

The breakage point of Cross and Crusade Stared Here and Soon it will be defeated and vanished. Insha Allah.

Seven of Chivalrous Youths Reached to their aims and targets, and 13 others are in Lurk fervor awaiting to reach to their targets and destinations. (This I presume is a reference to yesterday's attack in Kabul - CC).

I don't know about you, but I am somewhat upset by the lack of ‘x’s at the bottom of the missive. I’m also in half a mind as to whether I should write back offering English lessons. Maybe if I put forward a discounted rate the person might accept (though his prose is rather quaint).
If all goes quiet, maybe it'll be because one of those lurking chivalrous youths achieved his goal...
