Even the Taliban use the iPhone

mullah2_iphoneIf you were not already thrilled by the fact that Mumbai terrorists used Blackberry to monitor the world response in real-time, here is another one that may surprise you.

Mullah Abdul Salaam, the former Taliban ambassador who ruled out Internet and TV earlier, regularly uses the iPhone to make calls, surf the web and to find remote locations using the GPS.

According to him, the use of such a high-tech device is neccessary in today's world where people want to progress.

While its hard for anyone of us to decide how the use of such a device can help in terrorism but the fact alone that the web is now being used by the terrorists as a tool to monitor the social activities of the masses is kind of scary.

Evolution of technology has now reached to a point, where we are creating products that shall later help in our very own destruction.

  • rofl!! Quite a sizzling one ! Its kinda amusing to look at him using it though lol guess we should start underestimating the notorious Taliban if nothing else they are quite tech savy :D
  • I'm not sure if all that is relevant to the iPhone but you know that tech has a major role to play in Terrorism along with Hollywood blockbusters that come up with innovative ways to use daily life gadgets to take over the world.
  • I agree. Movies and technology are sources of inspiration and ideas for terrorists all around the world.
  • I don't think he will get his GPS location with an iPhone 2G with no GPS sensors. but he can surf in twitter's public stream and watch whats happening.. even navigate through the Google Maps in an innovative way.. Touch screen ease the process of planing stuffs with Google maps right ?
    Officials said Terrorists used Google Maps or similar service to plan mumbai attacks. If they got a Microsoft Surface, they might have did it comfortably :D
