Mullah Omar hails release of 5 top Taliban commanders from Gitmo as 'proposed' by Muslim Brotherhood 'Godfather' Qaradawi.HT: Tundratabloids.
Mullah Omar, the reclusive head of the Taliban,
has purportedly released a statement hailing the transfer of the top five
Taliban commanders from Guantanamo to Qatar. Omar says their freedom is a “great
victory.”
The five Taliban leaders were exchanged for Sgt.
Bowe Bergdahl, who has been held by the Taliban since 2009.
A copy of the statement attributed to Omar has been posted on the Taliban’s
Urdu-language web site.
Omar thanks the government of Qatar, as well as
its emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad, for his help in brokering the deal and for
hosting the Taliban leaders. In earlier statements, both President Barack Obama
and Secretary of State John Kerry similarly thanked Qatar for its
assistance.
Omar offers his “heartfelt congratulations to the
entire Afghan Muslim nation,” including “all the mujahideen and to the families
and relatives of the prisoners for this great victory.”
The Taliban had demanded the release of the five
commanders from Guantanamo for years. In early 2012, the Taliban announced that
it had established a “political office” in Doha for the expressed
purpose of securing their freedom.Hmmmm......Now Guess where Muslim brotherhood 'Godfather' Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi lives?If you said Qatar you are right.
