Old or new, this information is hardly surprising.
The Taliban have time and again said that they're neither a Pashtun nor a nationalist movement. They're a religious-military order with a hardcore 'end justify the means' philosophy. If anything, most of the victims of their mosque-bombs, IEDs and other attacks have been Pashtuns. Pashtuns have also borne the brunt of the Taliban's retribution in cases of alleged collaboration.
