A police search of his home reportedly found night vision goggles, a bulletproof vest, and extremist Islamic literature.

He was again arrested in 2000 under British anti-terrorism laws during a raid on the Maktabah Al Ansar bookshop in Birmingham, which he had founded. The British government retrieved encrypted files from his computer and ordered Begg to open them, but Begg refused.

in 2000, his store was found to offer such titles as The Virtues of Jihad and Declaration of War. In 1999 the store commissioned and published a book which said such things as "Terror works and that is why the believers are commanded to enforce it by Allah.

Afghan Massacre - Convoy of Death

SDGundamX says...

History repeats itself. The same thing (on a much, much larger scale) happened during the Korean War when thousands of suspected Communists were executed by Korean forces while American troops watched. I'm pretty certain in that case the Pentagon ordered troops to prevent it if possible but given how mercilessly and efficiently the Korean forces were killing it proved impossible to stop.

George Washington in fact faced a similar problem on his first military expedition. Charged with removing the French from Fort Duquesne, he ambushed and captured French forces commanded by Joseph Coulon de Jumonville. Jumonville surrendered, but to Washington's horror the Native American allies that had accompanied him on the expedition slaughtered Jumonville and a dozen other prisoners after the surrender. Just shows the problems you can face when you "ally" with the natives. Just because they're you're allies doesn't mean they're going to listen to your commands.

I agree with roughy. In a war zone, stuff like this happens. I don't agree with the Pentagon trying to pretend like it never happened (they did that in the Korean War incidents too), but I'm not really sure they're under any obligation to actually report the killings since they occurred on the Afghan forces' watch.

I have to laugh at the video eyewitness that says the Americans were in charge. It's pretty clear from other news sources that the Afghan forces at the time were led by tribal warlords that were really more interested in settling old feuds and expanding their power than freeing the country from the Taliban. If they worked with Americans, it was because it was in their own interest and I highly doubt any "command" issued by an American soldier would have had much value. I imagine the Special Forces soldiers that were there found themselves in the same situation as Washington, trying to reason with people who simply don't think the same way about such things as prisoner treatment.

Remember Jessica Lynch?

...from the point of view of the Army, all they knew was Lynch was being held in an Iraqi hospital, after her squad was ambushed, with 11 people killed and 6 people captured.


That's not true, and you're missing the point.

The point is that all of the things that the Pentagon claimed were lies meant to bolster their pro-war image with the American public, which reflected positively on the Bush administration.

"... according to the BBC, the Pentagon knew it was needless. The BBC says U.S. forces had been tipped off by Nasiriyah resident Hassan Hamoud Awad that no Iraqi soldiers were in the hospital."

Mm, I mean, sure, the government will spin things to make it look good for themselves, but from the point of view of the Army, all they knew was Lynch was being held in an Iraqi hospital, after her squad was ambushed, with 11 people killed and 6 people captured. Ok, yeah, it's awesome the Iraqi's treated her well, and it sucks to be the doctor being held at gunpoint while they were extracting her, but it makes sense in light of the operation.
