Taliban use roller skates to patrol the streets of Kabul

Speeding through central Kabul the masked and camouflaged fighters whizz past onlookers and easily overtake other road users.

Hanging onto the side of a pick-up truck to gain speed, they then launch themselves off on their rollerblades to direct traffic.

The scene captured in recently shared video clip purports to show a detachment of Taliban security forces skating through the Afghan capital.

I’m seriously impressed with how smooth their roads are. They’d never be able to do that in any United State I have ever been to.

Bodacious.

I had tried that when I was 10 and ended up in hospital. I'll blame the road for that.

This is actually a great way of policing, keeps burglars away. Its used in some other countries of the region as well.

This is unislamic. The prophet did not use rollerskates to cut heads off.

Let us pray that they never discover Heelys. Such versatility would make them unstoppable.
