Maybe put all these groups, splinter groups, factions, organizations, sects, etc into one large area and fence them in. Whomever emerges after that battle must be killed immediately or they will pose a real invasive to even our mainland.Originally Posted by MMC

Canadian hostage Joshua Boyle says Taliban killed daughter
Sat, 14 Oct 2017 - Joshua Boyle says captors also raped his wife, during their five-year Afghan kidnap ordeal.
A Canadian held hostage by the Taliban has spoken of the group's "stupidity and evil", revealing they murdered his daughter and raped his wife. Joshua Boyle spoke to reporters after landing in Canada with his wife Caitlan Coleman and children following almost five years in captivity. They were captured while reportedly backpacking in Afghanistan in 2012. Ms Coleman's father has said the decision to visit the dangerous country was "unconscionable". Both sets of parents have previously questioned why the couple were in Afghanistan in the first place. "What I can say is taking your pregnant wife to a very dangerous place is to me and the kind of person I am, is unconscionable," Jim Coleman told ABC News following their rescue on Wednesday. "I can't imagine doing that myself. But, I think that's all I want to say about that."
However, Mr Boyle told reporters at Toronto's Pearson International Airport the couple had been trying to deliver aid to villagers in a part of the Taliban-controlled region "where no NGO, no aid worker, and no government" had been able to reach when they were kidnapped. Ms Coleman was heavily pregnant at the time with their first child. This week, they returned with three children, all born in captivity, the youngest of whom is understood to be in poor health. In his statement, Mr Boyle appeared to suggest they had had a fourth child, a baby girl who had been killed by their captors, the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network, as he also revealed they had raped his wife.
It was, he said, "retaliation for my repeated refusal" to accept an offer made to him by the network. "The stupidity and the evil of the Haqqani network in the kidnapping of a pilgrim... was eclipsed only by the stupidity and evil of authorising the murder of my infant daughter," he said. "And the stupidity and evil of the subsequent rape of my wife, not as a lone action by one guard, but assisted by the captain of the guard and supervised by the commandant." The family were finally rescued by the Pakistani army after a US tip-off during an operation near the Afghan border.
Initial reports suggested Mr Boyle had refused to board a US military flight out of Pakistan. Mr Boyle was once married to a woman who espoused radical Islamist views and is the sister of a former Guantanamo Bay inmate, Omar Khadr. CNN suggested he might fear prosecution by the US authorities. But Mr Boyle rubbished the reports after arriving in Canada. He said the family were looking to put their terrible ordeal behind them and the couple were now hoping "to build a secure sanctuary for our three surviving children to call a home".

Raped in front of her son...
Mom held captive by Taliban says she was raped, beaten for trying to protect kids
November 20, 2017 | A Pennsylvania woman kidnapped by Taliban-linked militants and held captive for five years says she was beaten and raped while trying to protect her kids from the brutes, according to a report.
Caitlan Coleman Boyle, 31, of Stewartstown, was pregnant when she and her husband, Joshua Boyle, 34, were kidnapped in Afghanistan in 2012 by the Haqqani group and taken to Pakistan. She had another son and a daughter while in captivity and said Boyle delivered both by flashlight as she quietly labored in pain. Caitlan told ABC News that some of their guards “hated children” and would target their eldest son for beatings, claiming he was “making problems” or being “too loud.” When Caitlan tried to intervene, she also was pummeled. “I would get beaten or hit or thrown on the ground,” Caitlan told the network.
Her Canadian husband said she suffered serious injuries while trying to prevent the extremists from harming their children. “She had a broken cheekbone,” Joshua said. “She actually broke her own hand punching one of them. She broke her fingers, so she was very proud of that injury.” Caitlan said her captors put something in her food to force a miscarriage of their unborn daughter, whom the couple named Martyr Boyle. She also said that two men raped her as punishment for trying to report the crime to their superiors. “They just kept saying that this will happen again if we don’t stop speaking about the forced abortion, that this happened because we were trying to tell people what they had done, and that it would happen again,” Caitlan said.
She said she successfully hid her next two pregnancies as the family was moved around Pakistan’s tribal belt. Joshua, who said he was kept shackled during their captivity, said the family was usually held in a single room, often underground, where the kids would play with discarded items. “We would just teach them to use things like bottle caps or bits of cardboard, garbage essentially, but what we could find to play with,” Caitlan said. She said they taught their eldest son the alphabet, geography and constellations. They also used the tale of the execution of Charles I in 1649 to make up a game about beheadings, to allay the boy’s fears should their captors do the same to his parents. “He certainly knew that this type of thing could happen to his family, so he had great fun pretending to be Oliver Cromwell chasing Charles I around and trying to behead him,” she said. “So we made it a game so that he wasn’t afraid because there was, you know, there was nothing we could do if it came to that except try to make him less afraid,” shed added.
The physical abuse of the family increased when the Haqqani Network demanded that Joshua join it as the group’s western propagandist. “They had come four different times — to offer employment in the group… and I made it very clear that I’d rather be the hostage than be on ‘your side of the cage.’” Joshua said. “I’d rather be inside than outside.” But his refusal carried severe consequences. “There were beatings. There was violence. Then they’d come to make the offer again. Still said no. More beatings, more violence. Maybe that’ll be the solution. Still no,” Joshua said. “And after the final time — that’s when they killed our daughter. And after that there were no more intimations of recruitment.”

Founder Of Much-Feared Haqqani Network Dies At 72...
Taliban Announce: Founder Of Much-Feared Haqqani Network Dies At 72
September 4, 2018 - Rumors have circulated for years regarding the death of Jalaluddin Haqqani, founder of the militant Haqqani network, who had close ties to the Taliban and al-Qaida.
Haqqani hadn't been heard from in years, and in 2015 reports of his death were widespread. Those earlier reports were never confirmed.
The Taliban on Tuesday released a statement announcing that Haqqani had died after a long illness at the age of 72.
As reported by multiple news organizations, the Taliban statement read: "Just as he endured great hardships for the religion of Allah during his youth and health, he also endured long illness during his later years."
In this 1998 file photo, Jalaluddin Haqqani, founder of the militant group the Haqqani network, speaks during an interview in Pakistan. The Taliban say Haqqani, an ex-U.S. ally turned enemy, died Monday. He was 72.
Haqqani died Monday inside Afghanistan, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Haqqani had been ill and bed-ridden for several years. The AP reports he had Parkinson disease and had been paralyzed for the past 10 years. "Because of his infirmity, Haqqani's network has been led by his son Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is also deputy head of the Taliban. Considered the most formidable of the Taliban's fighting forces, the Haqqani network has been linked to some of the more audacious attacks in Afghanistan," the AP reports.
Haqqani founded the network in the 1970s, and was a guerrilla leader who battled Soviet troops in the 1980s when they occupied Afghanistan. Haqqani was called a freedom fighter by President Reagan. In 2012 the United States declared the Haqqani network a terrorist organization.
