Jihad Monkey! - Taliban Training Primates
NYPost, 13 July 2010

Monkey see, monkey kill.

Taliban terrorists have a secret weapon to destroy the infidel American enemy — monkey marksmen.

According to The People’s Daily in China, the Taliban in Afghanistan is “training monkeys to use weapons to attack American troops.”

The newspaper’s bizarre story says the Islamic insurgents have drafted macaques and baboons to be all that they can be, arming them with AK-47 rifles, machine guns and trench mortars in the Waziristan tribal region near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The monkeys, being rewarded with bananas and peanuts, are being turned into snipers at a secret Taliban training base.

The newspaper says “photos have been widely spread by media agencies and Web sites across the world.”

One of those sites is the Pakistan Defense Forum, which has pictures of gun-toting monkeys, and makes the wild claim that a monkey-soldier program was first launched by the CIA in Vietnam.

“Today, the Taliban forces have given the American troops some of their own medicine,” The People’s Daily said.

I was wondering how the CIA was going to get blamed for this.

One of the problems they have is when they take a group picture they can't tell the difference between the monkeys or the taliban.............;)

Using animals as tools in a terrorist attack would actually not be that far fetched of an idea. During WWII the Russians used trained dogs to destroy German armored vehicles. They were trained to run under tanks with explosives strapped to their backs. Use your imagination just a little bit on that one...

So now, when Claymores are placed around a defensive perimeter, we should bait them with bananas?

I somehow doubt that the monkeys will pass the target discrimination part of the training.

The problem with the German AT dogs was their inability to tell the difference between the German and the Russian tanks.

I would love to see the final performance in a video.

Does anyone remember which country was trying to train dolphins to emplace mines under ships?

In Inside the Aquarium GRU defector Victor Suvorov's entertaining but credibility challenged memoir, there are descriptions of Soviet use of dolphins trained to detect, and ram enemy divers with needles attached to Co2 canisters. Perhaps the precursor to "sharks with frickin lasers".
