Taliban reviews Honda CG125 in 'Steeds of War' magazine feature
Homage paid to Honda’s 125 for making the “Crusaders flee”
HONDA'S CG125 has recently been praised in the fourth edition of 'Azan', an English-language magazine published by al-Qaeda.
Mentioned in the Steeds of War feature, the CG125, which costs $700 (£450) in Afghanistan, is credited for helping win the war: “All Praise is due to Allah Who has made the Crusaders flee with a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Mujahidin who have so little resources compared to them. We, the Mujahidin, have won the war with HONDA 125’s valued at around $700.”
The featured Honda has a double-sided bag to fit woollen blankets that carry rockets and ammo. Mounted to the handlebars is a custom fitted MP3 player that allows riders to: “listen to the Qur’an, lectures and nasheeds on long journeys.”
The magazine claims to be written by a Western-born Jihadi operating in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
