IF THIS IS TRUE... FIND OUR WARRIOR, THEN WIPE THESE FUCKERS OUT!

For years the Taliban have railed against infidel dogs who have invadedAfghanistan.

Now it seems they have caught one.

A video released by the Taliban’s cultural arm, al-Emara, pictures long-haired gunmen showing off the spoils of war.

They include weapons captured, they claimed, in an operation against American forces on December 23 as well as a subdued-looking canine on a chain. It wears the sort of shoulder harness used by working dogs.

“This dog was named after a colonel,” said one of the fighters. “It had a torch on it and its neck wore a GPS.”

Dogs are used extensively by coalition forces in Afghanistan. Some work sniffing out IEDs, weapons or drugs while others have a search and rescue role.

It is a dangerous job.

Last year it emerged that four dogs – two Labradors, a Springer spaniel cross and a Belgian shepherd – had died working alongside their Army handlers in Helmand since March 2011.

A spokesman for the Nato-led International Security Assistance force in Kabul said: “We are aware of the video. However, we have no operational reporting to confirm it.”

Four years ago, an Australian bomb-sniffing dog was lost in Afghanistan and then adopted by a Taliban leader who tried to sell her back.

Sabi, a black Labrador, was eventually recovered by an American special forces soldier who retrieved her from an unnamed man in north-eastern Oruzgan.

A spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force said: "We can confirm that a military working dog went mission following an ISAF missing in December, 2013. It is ISAF policy to defer identification to the appropriate national authorities."
