Afghans arrest Taliban leader
More good news in the war on terror. Afghan security forces arrested a leading Taliban figure:
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan forces have arrested a senior Taliban commander accused of leading attacks against Afghan and U.S.-led troops based in the west of the country, a defense ministry spokesman said on Sunday.
Haji Sultan, a division commander for the Taliban, was arrested with Mullah Mohammad Rahim, another senior Taliban official, in the western province of Farah on Saturday, said the spokesman, Zahir Azimy.
"Haji Sultan was on the U.S. military black list and we handed him over to them for investigation," Azimy said.
Amusingly, Reuters only refers to al Qaeda as "allies" of the Taliban.
Hey, pretend something doesn't exist and maybe it will go away!
Hey, isn't that the motto of the United Nations?
