On Friday, I wrote<\/a> about an Afghan by the name of Asadullah who gunned down nine of his fellow Afghanistan National Army soldiers at an outpost, then stolen their weapons and drove off into the night. Well, it seems that now, after the fact, Afghan officials have decided to do a background check on him according t the Washington Post<\/a>. It turns out that when he was 19 little Asadullah cooperated with the Taliban when they plotted to kill his father, Ehsanullah;<\/p>\n

Before the Taliban finalized its assassination plans, fighters met with then-18-year-old Asadullah. He had already begun talking about the value of defeating U.S. and Afghan forces and rebelling against his father\u2019s politics, officials said. Some local residents considered Asadullah a peripheral Taliban member from his early teenage years. When insurgents informed him of the plans to murder his father, Asadullah \u201cgranted them approval,\u201d according to a U.S. official who had been briefed by Afghan security and intelligence personnel.<\/p>\n

After Ehsanullah was killed, \u201cwe told [Asadullah] that his father was a martyr, but he refused to accept that. He said his father was vile. I could tell then that he was a traitor,\u201d Mohammed said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now here they find this out just by doing a background check a few days after Asadullah did the deed. It seems to me they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by doing this sort of investigation before he murdered his brother soldiers. But, that’s just me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
