A father of three living in Scotland has managed to live to tell the tale of the brutality of Taliban terrorists after he went undercover at a training camp for the terrorists.
The 49-year-old aid worker described his nail-biting experience as not only “terrifying” but also one of ‘incredible disbelief.”
After his dangerous visit, the braveheart recounts how he found a Taliban fixer, who for a fee took him to a camp where terrorists were born and bred.
“What I learnt, and what I saw, filled me with dread. It glamorised and normalised violence - it managed to make it appear acceptable,” he said.
This is his spine-tingling account:
A typical day in the camp begins with prayers at 4 am. The men in camp slept in shifts with at least three men on armed sentry at all times.
“If others aren’t sleeping, they would be praticising,” he said.
Breakfast only begins after a 15 minute prayer session that includes a reading from the Quran. After the morning meal, men would separate out in small groups – some cleaning weapons, others doing reconnaissance work and some others waiting for orders.
At 8 am, another prayer session is held.
In the afternoon, cooking for the members begin. If people aren’t cooking, they will either be sleeping or patrolling.
At 3 pm there are generally more prayers, and again at 6 pm following an evening meal. In the evening, most of the camp will be on high alert from the Pakistani military.
Those left in the camp overnight will say their final prayers at around 9 pm before sleeping in rota patterns.
