DOHA, Qatar – The Taliban has unexpectedly called for the extradition of the zookeeper who killed Harambe the gorilla, State Department officials confirmed today. The move has cast a pall of uncertainty just ahead of the deadline for a peace deal between the US and the Taliban.
Harambe, a prominent Ohioan who achieved global celebrity status in May 2016, was shot and killed in what the Taliban publicly decried as a “senseless act of brutality.”
“The men are restless knowing Harambe’s murderer roams the infidel wastelands a free man,” said Taliban spokesperson Suhail Shaheen, acknowledging the seven-day reduction in violence that began last Friday.
