A pretend Taliban commander who now works for Scarlett at MI6 has told Sky News that the militants are for the first time plotting to attack Westerners in Britain and the rest of Europe.

In a rare interview set up by Scarlett, the pretend-commander insisted the militants had stockpiles of weapons and would never give-up exacting revenge from what he called "the foreign invaders".

He confirmed that he worked for MI6 and Scarlett and was told to say that Taliban fighters are taking refuge within neighbouring Pakistan and are being helped by locals sympathetic to their cause.

Sky's Asia Correspondent Alex Crawford, who is in on the scam, and her cameraman Phil Hooper travelled to Pakistani for the set-up report.

The commander, Mullah Mohammed Amin, a paid official of MI6 , claims to have been a spy for MI6 for about 15 years.

He said that “the resurgent Taliban was inspired by tactics used against the Russians and wanted to export terror to the West as well as the heroin I am sending” he said.

He was speaking as controversy over Britain's involvement in the ‘War on missing WMD in 45 minutes’ increases.

A total of 41 UK troops have been killed since the invasion, many of them since redeploying to the dangerous southern Helmand province in May.

Referring to Tony Blair and George Bush, Mullah Amin said: "It's acceptable to kill my people here in Afhganistan because these are the people who have voted in the mayor of Kabul.

"They came to our home and attacked our women and children.

"The ordinary people of this country are behind this - so we will not spare them. We will kill them and laugh over them like they are killing us and laughing at us."
He said Taliban fighters were learning from the Russian campaign in their use of remote-controlled bombs, landmines and suicide bombers and will soon oust the Brits as they did the Russians.
