Militants of a Terrorist Network

The US is perfecting its language skills as this excerpt illustrates:

A predawn raid by United States Special Forces that killed five people on Sunday has produced sharply conflicting accounts from the American military and local Afghan officials as to whether the dead were civilians or militants, resurrecting a sore point that has troubled the American-led war here.

The United States military said in a statement that its forces killed five militants and detained four suspects in an operation against a “terrorist network” near the Afghan-Tajikistan border in the northern province of Kunduz. Local officials said that those killed were not militants and that the raided house belonged to the mayor of the town of Imam Sahib.


Militants of a terrorist network.

Sounds like ladies of a brothel?


P.S. Ever meet a terrorist and/or militant who is not a civilian?
