Taliban Threatens to Attack Korean Police If Deployed to Afghanistan

Afghanistan's rebel group Taliban will attack South Korean facilities in the war-torn country if Seoul dispatches its police force there, Yonhap news agency quoted a purported spokesman for the militia group as saying in Dubai Friday.

Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, the purported spokesman for the Taliban, told a source for Yonhap News Agency in Kabul, Afghanistan, over the phone that his group will not allow South Korean military or police to set foot on their land, the agency said.
