Taliban Claim Mentions Trevor Greene & Other Child Soldier Attacks

[The Bread Guy]

Two highlights here:

1)  While the statement mentions the attack on Trevor Greene in 2006, the official English version gets the province wrong ( :tsktsk: to the Taliban Info-Machine)

2)  Uh, Trevor Greene was NOT killed - doing incredibly well, all things considered, according to the Globe & Mail ( Trevor).

Enjoy the lies!
