Taliban profited from subcontracting stadium construction equipment in QatarAn investigation by the British newspaper 'The Telegraph' has revealed that the Taliban fundamentalist movement earned millions of euros during the construction of the Qatar World Cup stadiums by subcontracting teams to erect the facilities.According to officials of the Taliban's political office in Doha, the capital of Qatar, the movement took advantage of money linked to the peace talks with the US and the United Nations taking place in this city since 2013 to "buy and then subcontract heavy machinery for the infrastructure of the tournament".The money mentioned came from "stipends" allocated to members of the Taliban political bureau to live in the country and facilitate the negotiations, which ended up partially destined to the purchase of this equipment to resell it later at a much higher price.The Qatari government has merely commented to 'The Telegraph' that "the (Taliban's) political office and its activities were coordinated with the United States, which had full visibility over all arrangements" and assures that "all actions taken or arrangements made complied with Qatar's obligations under international law and relevant laws and regulations."Más de News 360- At least 19 people have been arrested in the context of the transport workers’ strike in ChileNews 360- Russia denounces Pope Francis’ latest words as proof of his «Russophobia».News 360- The FFC coalition makes the release of political prisoners a condition for signing the agreement with the Army.News 360"
