hello Taliban.....this is Yale calling
Former Taliban Spokesman Now Yale U. Student
A one-time member of the Taliban has apparently taken up studies at Yale University.
While his former colleagues in Afghanistan’s former Taliban government are dead, hiding, or imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi is studying at Yale on a student visa.
Once the Taliban’s "ambassador-at-large,” Rahmatullah was the subject of the feature article in this weekend’s New York Times magazine.
He surfaced at Yale through the efforts of Mike Hoover, a CBS News cameraman, whom he met while serving as an interpreter for the Taliban. Rahmatullah was admitted to Yale despite only having a fourth-grade education and high school equivalency certificate
