Dubai - A former pilot with Afghanistan's national carrier was quoted on Thursday as saying that he had helped train 14 Islamic militants, some holding European passports, to fly civilian aircraft.

The London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper quoted the pilot as saying from an undisclosed location in Afghanistan that the trainees had left the war-torn country nearly one year ago to undisclosed locations after they completed their training.

Now the question is, WHOSE Islamic militants were they? I bet you they were Masood's trainees... After all, why would some European countries deliver valid passports to Taleban fanatics??
