You’re going to die "brother"!

Are we just making up the name’s of our enemies now? Report: Wanted Taliban leader killed in raid:

KABUL, Afghanistan (Reuters)- A wanted Taliban insurgent leader in Afghanistan, Mullah Brother, was killed Thursday in a U.S.-led raid in the southern province of Helmand, the Afghan Defense Ministry said, citing ground commanders.

Brother served as a top military commander for the Taliban government until its removal from power in 2001 and was a member of the movement’s leadership council led by its fugitive leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar.

When they identified the body did it go something like this?

Soldier 1: Wow did we blow the crap out of that guy! Who was he?

Soldier 2: I don’t know but he sure looks like that dude from Lost that calls everyone “brother”.

Soldier 1: He does! Go with it. List him as Mullah “Brother” then, the Cap will get a kick out of that one, he loves Lost. Any other unidentified bodies we can call “Charlie?”

Unfortunately for historical accuracy and Lost fans who can’t get enough tie ins to the show, Reuters appears to have missed the quotation marks from the original report; leaving the rest of the world to wonder, who was that Mullah, “brother”?
