Scream Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 The Taliban used to hate modern technology. Especially from the western world. Now they are on twitter, moreover they tweet in English language. The account, alemarahweb, links back to the , Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which is the name they use for themselves. Most of the tweets are written in Pashto language, it is a native language in parts of Afghanistan. The English-language posts appear to be wildly exaggerated claims of attacking and killing NATO and U.S. troops and Afghan government personnel. If the tweets were to be believed, 81 "enemy" troops were killed since the feed began publishing in English on Thursday. A U.S. spy plane, and 23 vehicles, including five U.S. tanks, also were destroyed by Taliban attacks, according to the tweets. Military and news reports do not support anything approaching those claims. The account also appears to be used to keep an eye on those the Taliban considers enemies. Of the 12 accounts it follows, several are news agencies covering the region. It also follows a charity to support British troops, a U.S. Air Force officer and, perhaps ominously, an Afghan government agency focused on education, entertainment and cultural programs for children. source: cnn original link: http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TECH/social.media/05/13/taliban.twitter/index.html Quote
