Taliban Offer Question-and-Answer Service Online

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday April 1, 2012 @01:38PM from the dear-zabihullah dept.

First time accepted submitter nachiketas points out this story about a new online service offered by the Taliban. "Worried about whether Islamic verses on Facebook are allowed? Or that suicide bombers kill innocent civilians? Afghanistan's Taliban have set up a new question-and-answer section on their website to address such issues. The facility on Voice of Jihad, the official website of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan — the Taliban's own name for their movement — allows readers to submit queries to spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. It is a demonstration of how far the insurgents' attitude towards technology has changed."

"9. What does an incoming hellfire sound like?"
An AGM-114 Hellfire is supersonic (Mach 1.3). So you won't hear it until after impact.
But if it is a dud you will of course hear it after impact.
