An Afghan villager has told the defamation trial of war veteran Ben Roberts-Smith that he hated foreign soldiers and regarded them as responsible for killing innocent people, but he did not support the aims of the Taliban | MWhitbourn

An Afghan villager has told the defamation trial of war veteran Ben Roberts-Smith that he hated foreign soldiers and regarded them as responsible for killing innocent people, but he did not support the aims of the Taliban.

Mr Gul agreed he regarded foreign soldiers as infidels but rejected a suggestion by Mr McClintock that in his religion it was “permissible to lie” in some circumstances to infidels. Speaking via video link from Kabul with the assistance of a translator in Canada, Mr Gul was asked on Thursday if Mr Jan had been carrying a radio with him on the day of his death, which is pictured near his body in photographs tendered in court.

He said he had become aware of the term “throwdowns” in the context of them allegedly “being used by other nations”.
