The BBC love their terrorists

Profile: Zulfiqar Mehsud

Check out the smiling photo of Mehsud and then read the article.

"Despite his pleasant demeanour and cheeky smile, danger radiated from the man. "


Sounds like James Bond, no?

"Since then, Zulifiqar Mehsud's star has continued to rise."


The BBC thinks this terrorist is a rising "star". And, they want you to feel sorry for him.

"But his beginnings were hardly auspicious.

Born in the region of Kotkai near the town of Jandola in South Waziristan, Zulfiqar Mehsud's only schooling was at a small village madrassa in Hangu district. "


My heart bleeds for him.

"Baitullah's consolidation of most of Pakistan's Taliban groups into a single entity provided growing opportunities for his talented young friend. "


The BBC fails to explain those talents include blowing people up and beheading them.

"Zulfiqar Mehsud was already famous within the Taliban for his skills in battle - his ability to handle a Kalashnikov and a Toyota pick-up were legendary. "


Now he's "famous" and "legendary".

"The comparison with Zulfiqar Mehsud sits well - both handsome young men with that extra aggressive instinct."


And "handsome" "with that extra aggressive instinct". Can't you just feel the love?

Next we get a taste of his "legendary" skills and his ability to perform "impossible" deeds.

"To demonstrate his skill with the vehicle, he drove like a man possessed, manoeuvring around razor sharp bends at impossible speeds.

He finished the demonstration by braking inches short of a several hundred foot drop.

While the rest of us sat in stunned silence, he just laughed chillingly and stuck the car in reverse to smoothly continue the journey. "


He's not talking about Jeremy Clarkson here but an Islamic terrorist.

Oh, the reporters name? Syed Shoaib Hasan
