OTTAWA—The shaky video pans right to left, looking down on a village with mountains in the background before turning to a green river valley with destroyed buildings in the foreground. A man is speaking over the wind and two words stand out before the video cuts and eerie music starts to play: Masum Ghar.
Uploaded last week, the video purportedly shows Taliban fighters surveying captured territory in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province. One of the people who has watched it is retired corporal Matthew Luloff, who spent time at Masum Ghar during the 13-year war in Afghanistan.
