Very interesting article. Shahzad says in his awesome book (below),
"All Central Asians are natural born fighters, more so even than Afghans and Pakistani tribesmen. But they lack knowledge of modern warfare techniques, one of the basics of which is the ability to read the mind of the enemy. . . . Kashmiri took up the necessary training programs for the Chechen, Uzbek... Kasmiri is an acknowledged expert in the art of reading the enemy's mind and guiding guerrillas through gaps left by the enemy..."
Did they go from mind reading to mind control? This mind reading wasn't explained further, but I suspect they are just talking about anticipating enemy actions, not actual mind reading.
Anyhow, I wil have to do a search and see if these people are into mind control techniques...
