‘ Taliban’ boozer’s threat to kill cops

AN Afghan asylum seeker who “discovered” alcohol after arriving in the West, told bewildered policemen in rural Ireland he was in the Taliban and would have them killed.

Ali Faizi was arrested after initially being told to go home by police.

Bandon District Court was told that when held for another disturbance, he tried to headbutt cops.

Faizi, 34, of Kinsale, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to three charges, including one of obstructing police.

Sgt Paul Kelly told the court Faizi had claimed he was a member of the Taliban, that he was from Afghanistan, and that would “take him out”.

Faizi’s defence said his client had discovered booze in the UK. He’s now an asylum seeker in Eire.

The judge fined Faizi a total of £ 280 and handed him 30 days suspended.
