Taliban operating in Iraq, Taylor says
Last Updated Thu, 16 Sep 2004 18:35:34 EDT

OTTAWA - U.S. forces in Iraq are going to face an explosion in the northern city of Mosul, Canadian military journalist Scott Taylor said Thursday.

FROM SEP. 13, 2004: Kidnapped Canadian journalist freed in Iraq

"The Americans have no idea what kind of an anthill they're sitting on" he told CBC Newsworld.

Taylor based his conclusions on observations he made after being kidnapped in Iraq on Sept. 7 and released five days later, near Mosul in northern Iraq. He said he was put in a taxi to Turkey.

He said he was handed from group to group that shared hostages and weapons, including one he called the Taliban, the militants who controlled Afghanistan until the U.S. drove them out.

He said the groups operated "with the full co-operation of the police."

Taylor was seized with a Turkish journalist and a UN driver. While being held, he said there were at least six occasions when he was threatened with beheading.

One of the groups that held him said it had killed 37 hostages and freed 10.

But on other occasions, guards would bring him a blanket to keep warm.

He said he was quite relaxed some of the time, but on other occasions felt "sheer, sheer terror."

One of the groups agreed to let him go, but the next night, the leader was killed in an airstrike. "The whole nightmare started again," but eventually, the group kept the leader's promise.

Taylor said he has been to Iraq 20 times, but wouldn't go back. "It's not safe for anybody, not safe at all."
