| One hopes he had a cell phone and computer and that these have been exploited by now, otherwise the release of this news is premature. Coalition and Afghan forces captured a Taliban commander in western Afghanistan who helps "foreign fighters" enter the country from Iran. Joint operation - who gets custody, us or the Afghans? And are they good Afghans or bad Afghans (will the prisoner be tortured or released?) The Taliban commander, who was not named, was captured during a raid in the Bakwah district on Sunday. "Intelligence tips helped the security force track the facilitator," the International Security Assistance Force stated in a press release. The Taliban commander was described by ISAF as a "foreign fighter facilitator and improvised explosive device expert operating in Farah province." ISAF uses the term "foreign fighters" to describe al Qaeda operatives and members of allied terror groups operating in Afghanistan. |
