10:20Now PlayingIn a haunting echo of devotion to a chilling cause, the lush Tangi Valley in Afghanistan celebrates its legacy as the "Birthplace of Martyrs," where young men dream of becoming suicide bombers. Ismail Ashuqullah, a former Taliban fighter and local to the valley, wistfully recounted to news agency AFP his own missed opportunity to be a suicide bomber, stating, "When I was informed by my superiors that I had to join the battalion, I was delighted that God had chosen me. I felt a lot of joy." This valley, strategically located near Kabul and once a stronghold of the Taliban, is steeped in a culture that reveres martyrdom through suicide attacks. Though the Taliban claims these attacks targeted foreign and Afghan troops, a UN report from 2019 highlighted the devastating reality: around 1,499 civilian casualties were attributed to Taliban suicide attacks.
