The Dumbest Terrorist Ever

By: Sara

As the war against terror rages on, it is clear that terrorists are crazy, but it is also clear that some are supremely stupid. Take, for example, Mohammad Ashan. Ashan was a mid-level Taliban commander who was wanted by the U.S. military. American forces plastered the country with his wanted poster and offered a $100 finder's fee. Now I know that times are tough, but usually when you are the guy in the wanted poster, you steer clear of authorities and keep your head down. Mohammad Ashan decided, what the hey, I need some easy money. This guy walked up to a police check point last week, pointed to the wanted poster, pointed to his face and then patiently waited for his hundred bucks. One official called Ashan "the Taliban equivalent of the 'Home Alone' burglars."
