China has been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the return of the Taliban Sunni jihadist organization to power in neighboring Afghanistan, calling the August 2021 seizure of Kabul a “ sunny day ” for the world. While, like the rest of the world, China has not formally recognized the Taliban as the legal government of Afghanistan – accepting it only as an “ interim ” government entity – it has moved on to transparently treating the terrorists as such, revealing last month that a Taliban “ambassador” is stationed in Afghanistan’s embassy in Beijing.

An old white Toyota Corolla wagon has been excavated in southern Afghanistan as the Taliban dig up new ways to display their hold over power in the country. The vehicle was used by the militant group's founding leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, to escape U.S. troops after they invaded in 2001. It had been buried in a previously unidentified location, but was unearthed Tuesday after Omar's grave was identified in Zabul, a province in the country’s south. “The car belongs to our late dearest supreme leader and it will be moved to a museum,” Maulvi Arifullah, an official at the Interior Ministry, told NBC News. Omar had fled in the Toyota car from Kandahar to Zabul at the beginning of the U.S.-led invasion, the Taliban said. He continued to live in hiding in a small mud house until his death in 2013, but with the group ruling Afghanistan once again after the U.S. withdrawal, his Toyota may soon be on public display. Anas Haqqani, a Taliban leader, urged on Twitter for the … [Read more...] about Taliban excavate car used by founding leader to escape after U.S.-led invasion

UPLAND, Calif. – Four Southern California men have been charged with plotting to kill Americans and destroy U.S. targets overseas by joining Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, federal officials said Monday. The defendants, including a man who served in the U.S. Air Force, were arrested for plotting to bomb military bases and government facilities, and for planning to engage in "violent jihad," FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said in a release.
