Afghanistan's Taliban insurgents are training monkeys to use weapons to attack American troops, according to a recent report by a British-based media agency.
Reporters from the media agency spotted and took photos of a few "monkey soldiers" holding AK-47 rifles and Bren light machine guns in the Waziristan tribal region near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The report and photos have been widely spread by media agencies and Web sites across the world.
According to the report, American military experts call them "monkey terrorists."
As a form of cruel political means, wars are launched to meet political goals through conquest, devastation, assaults and other means.
In a sense, the emergence of "monkey soldiers" is the result of asymmetrical warfare. The United States launched the war in Afghanistan using the world's most advanced weapons such as highly-intelligent robots to detect bombs on roadsides and unmanned aerial vehicles to attack major Taliban targets. In response, the Taliban forces have tried any possible means and figured out a method to train monkeys as "replacement killers" against American troops.
Analysts believe that apart from using "monkey killers" to attack the American troops, the Taliban also sought to arouse Western animal protectionists to pressure their governments to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
An American official responded that the Taliban forces have started training "monkey soldiers" after suffering heavy losses, implying that they have exhausted their tricks. Nevertheless, the Taliban believe that the emergence of "monkey soldiers" indicates that they have found smarter and more effective ways to cope with American troops.
Ironically, the initiators of "monkey soldiers" are the Americans. Between the 1960s and the 1970s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) trained massive "monkey soldiers" in the Vietnam War and dispatched armed monkeys to dangerous jungles to launch assaults on Vietnamese soldiers.

Sometimes you cannot tell the monkeys and their trainers apart.

I can’t tell the difference between the taliban and the monkeys. The monkeys are smarter and braver though.

Reporters from the media agency spotted and took photos of a few "Arab soldiers" holding AK-47 rifles and Bren light machine guns in the Waziristan tribal region near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The report and photos have been widely spread by media agencies and Web sites across the world.

Fixed it for you.
I remember reading about monkeys being strapped to incendiary devices in the 17th century by pirates and used as unwitting suicide bombers. This is nothing new.

I am an animal lover and I am used to having animals love me back. I just got back from feeding the neighbors dog and cat while they are away. The daschund threatened to kill me for trying to take his ‘free range’ treat away from him (I have no idea what he found to eat) and the cat gave me a hiss of contempt when I asked him if he wanted to come inside for the night. So, I just can’t imagine what it is like to ‘deal’ with an armed monkey who isn’t in a ‘good’ or ‘obedient’ mood.
