Sources told TheNation: “Most of the men have been recruited from Afghanistan. They are Uzbeks, Persians and Hazaras. According to the footage, these men attired in Uzbek-style of shalwar and Hazara-Uzbek Kurta were found fighting in Libyan cities.”

So they flew the Northern Alliance out to Libya? Transplanting 1,500 battle-hardened warlord militia in a country with zero fighting experience is a bad idea, they might just blow off Afghanistan and take over Libya itself. :?
