Army advised to bribe Taliban

英士兵獲準賄賂塔利班

British forces should buy off potential Taliban recruits with "bags of gold", according to a new army field manual published Sunday, The Times reported. Army commanders should also talk to insurgent leaders in order to hasten the end of the conflict in Afghanistan. The edicts, which are contained in rewritten guidelines, will be taught to all new army officers.

據英國《泰晤士報》消息，15日發布的英軍最新戰地手冊顯示，英國軍人可以重金賄賂塔利班潛在的招募對象。手冊還稱，軍隊指揮官也應同叛亂武裝頭領談判，爭取早日結束阿富汗戰亂。這些條款都出自重新修改過的英軍指導方針，所有新任軍官都會接受相關教育。
