Taliban training monkeys for jihad?

This seems a bit far fetched. But then 9/11 WAS far-fetched to imaging until it actually happened. I would not put it beyond the capability of Talibs to convert Afghanistan into Planet of the Apes.

"... the Taliban forces have tried any possible means and figured out a method to train monkeys as 'replacement killers' against American troops," Stars and Stripes quoted the Chinese daily as saying. The militants were arming the primates with AK-47 rifles, machine guns and trench mortars in the Waziristan tribal region bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan, it claimed. The monkey soldiers are being turned into snipers at a secret Taliban training base and are in turn being rewarded with 'bananas and peanuts'.
