LONDON: Some roadside bombs used by the Taliban in Afghanistan include electronic parts that originally came from Britain and were supplied by British Muslims, the Daily Telegraph reported on Saturday.
According to the newspaper, which did not cite its source, the devices, which were used to activate bombs via remote control, were either sent to sympathisers or carried in by volunteers who flew to Pakistan and crossed the border into Afghanistan. It reported that an explosives officer told British Foreign Secretary David Miliband of the findings while the minister was in Afghanistan on a two-day visit this past week. The officer told Miliband that the devices had either been sent there or had been physically carried into the country by Britons. afp
