Joking aside, they've already sold a Cobra attack helicopter for several hundred thousand dollars and they're shopping around a Chinook and Black Hawk. How did this happen?....

Taliban militants in Pakistan's restive tribal belt captured three US military choppers while they were being shipped in a dismantled state from Peshawar to Jalalabad in Afghanistan and sold one of the helicopters for several hundred thousand dollars, a media report said todays.

Pakistani officials confirmed the development while the US embassy spokesperson refused to comment, saying the information 'appears to be only hearsay', The News daily reported.

Some diplomats in Islamabad were aware of the Taliban operation but were not ready to speak on record. One of the hijacked helicopters had already been sold to an unidentified customer in Afghanistan, the report said.

When the Taliban first captured the Cobra helicopter, they filmed all the stolen components and supplied a CD to their allies in Afghanistan. Certain people in Farah province of western Afghanistan 'showed an interest in purchasing the Cobra helicopter and subsequently its parts were smuggled to Farah', the report said.

'Taliban sold this Cobra to an unidentified customer for several hundred thousand dollars,' it said.
 
Following the latest hijacking, Taliban have filmed all the stolen components of the Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters. The Taliban have sent the CD 'for attracting customers from neighbouring countries of Afghanistan'.
