UK to bribe Taliban ahead of troops’ withdrawal

[JUBA]

The British government has earmarked millions of pounds for bribing the Taliban militant group in the run-up to the withdrawal of UK troops from Afghanistan.

Under the £6.6 million International Security Assistance Force (IASF) project, senior British officers are planning to offer the Taliban bribes in order to lay down their weapons for a period of 12 months, The Express reported on Sunday.

The project is expected to offer the militants immunity from prosecution and £100 per month to “leave the battlefield”.

There are currently about 8,000 British troops in the war-torn Asian country, with a planned reduction to 5,200 by the end of 2013.

Foreign forces are scheduled to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 and hand over responsibility for the country’s security to the Afghan government.

Earlier in April, it was reported that American CIA spy agency has been bribing Afghan officials and warlords in the past decade with tens of millions of dollars in secret cash money in continuing efforts to maintain influence over internal affairs of the war-stricken country.

The United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 under the pretext of combating terrorism. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across the country despite the presence of thousands of US-led soldiers.

In late April, the Taliban announced the start of their annual "spring offensive" against US-led and Afghan forces, vowing a new wave of attacks across Afghanistan.
