At ABC’s The Blotter, here’s a report that recently deceased Taliban leader Mullah Dadullah was training British and American citizens to attack their home countries.

Thirty-six hours before he was killed by U.S. forces, Taliban Commander Mullah Dadullah said he was training American and British citizens to carry out suicide missions in their home countries, according to a videotape interview to be broadcast on ABC News’ “World News” Monday.

“We will be executing attacks in Britain and the U.S. to demonstrate our sincerity,” he told an Afghan interviewer, “to destroy their cities as they have destroyed our cities.”

A senior U.S. official told the Blotter on ABCNews.com that recent intelligence reports confirmed Dadullah’s claim that U.S. citizens were being trained in Taliban and al Qaeda camps.

“The number is small, not large, but even once is dangerous,” the official said.

An aside: ABC News and several other news sites have recently begun using Javascript code that’s apparently intended to prevent copying and pasting text. If you select some text on their page and hit the key command for copy, the text is deselected and nothing is copied.

Unless there’s some other purpose for this code, this has to be the most annoyingly stupid idea I’ve seen on the web in a long time—and it’s ridiculously easy to circumvent.

Many of these same sites also now have popup advertising code that launches a popup whenever you click anywhere on the page, and the popup is not stopped by most of the current blockers.

Way to go, MSM. Make your web sites even more unpleasant than they already are.
