Col. Stuart Tootal, ex-3 Para, commenting on the war in Afghanistan, after a tour to Helmand in 2006, including media relations, ANA, ANP and more before he resigned from the UK Army in November 2007, in protest at what was happening: http://frontline.headshift.com/event...ghanistan.html

Having listened to the interview some of his comments are now dated and speaking officially optimistic on what the comprehensive approach was achieving. He has a book on his experience due out soon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Danger-Close.../dp/1848542569

GT: Did you have anything to do with the attacks in Mumbai? What do you think about the Kashmir and Pakistan issues?

Nageer: My jihad brothers blasted Mumbai, but I can’t tell you who did it. We had cooperation with Pakistani Inter-Service Intelligence but they sold us down the river. We are related to the Indian Muslim military, but we are more ambitious and brave than they are.
