"British Muslims 'providing Taliban with electronic devices for roadside bombs'
The devices, which enable Taliban fighters to detonate roadside bombs by remote control, are either sent to sympathizers in the region, or carried by volunteers who fly to Pakistan and then make their way across the border.
The electronic devices smuggled into Afghanistan from Britain range from basic remote control units that are normally used to fly model airplanes to more advanced components used to conduct attacks from up to a mile away.
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."
Who says British men and materials aren't wanted overseas!

We know where the UK is heading, it's just people don't like to rock the boat on this subject until one day it will creep up and turn their boat over, bite them on the a ss and pitch a flag on top of Buck Palace and No 10 if they get their way.I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:0
