The Taliban threaten Spain in video message <\/p>\n
A video message in which the Spanish flag appears and threats are made against Spain has been discovered by Spanish security forces. The video was distributed on 14th November just 5 days following the deaths of 2 Spanish soldiers in Afghanistan in a suicide bomb attack on their convoy and was broadcast on a jihadist television channel.<\/p>\n
Spanish security forces have given total credibility to the video. It is the second time that Spanish soldiers have been directly threatened by the Taliban and it is the first time that the Spanish flag has appeared clearly in a video of this type.
