Iran alleged to support the Taliban

Questioner: What can you tell us about the role of Iran in helping Taliban militants -- particularly those that have been proliferating in western Afghanistan?

Eikenberry: There are intelligence reports that Iran or elements within Iran have provided training assistance to Taliban and have provided some weapons to Taliban.

I know [U.S.] General [David] Petraeus has said that the scope of that support is nothing on the level of the support that was given previously, at one time, by Iran to various terrorist elements in Iraq. Still, the reports that continue to be received about this kind of low-level support and periodic cooperation between elements in Iran and the militant extremist Taliban are disturbing and do not show good faith by [Afghanistan's] neighbor to the west.

I would like to see these reports and documents you are talking about Mr. Karl Eikenberry, US Ambassador for Afghanistan. Reports such as the reports that Iraq had mass-destructive weapons. What a disgusting person he is. At people like him I spit on!
Iran is Shia dominant and the Taliban are against the teachings of the Shias. They don't like each other and in fact, Iran once threatened the Taliban regime with war in the past, if i have it correctly in mind. Nevertheless, Iran could use the Taliban to punch somehow the USA. But proof does not exists.

Dronen verfolgen und aufspüren - Peinlich

Iraqi militants have regularly used cheap and widely-available software to intercept the feeds of US-operated drones, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

Citing senior defense and intelligence officials, the Journal said Iranian-backed Shiite insurgents used software programs such as SkyGrabber -- available online for 25.95 dollars (18 euros) -- to capture drone feeds.

Irgendwie peinlich, oder? Gut fuer die Iraker, bloed fuer die Amis. Die Afghanen/Iraker haben ihre eigene Technik. ;)
