#3 Update from MSNBC: âFIFTEEN TALIBAN were killed, including Mullah Abdur Rahim, in Maruf district,â Afghan Foreign Ministry official Khalid Khan Achakzai said in Spin Boldak, not far from the border with Pakistan. Maruf is in Kandahar province. He said the fighters killed in the Sunday night clash had probably come from the province of Zabul, where hundreds of rebels had been involved in clashes with Afghan troops and U.S.-led forces in recent weeks.âThey were trying to regroup and launch fresh attacks,â he told Reuters.
Mullah Abdul Samad, an intelligence officer in the radical Taliban regime that was ousted from power in 2001, confirmed that there was a clash in Maruf, but denied the death of Rahim. Rahim is the Taliban commander for southern Afghanistan, where rebels have been most active in recent months.

#4 I'm so happy to hear Rahim's dead again. The world's always a safer place when he's dead.

#5 I'm so happy to hear Rahim's dead again. The world's always a safer place when he's dead.

If he's worth killing once, he's worth killing twice!

#6 Mullah Abdul Samad, an intelligence officer in the radical Taliban regime, denied the death of Rahim. "There have been deaths on both sides but it is wrong that Abdur Rahim has been killed. It is mere propaganda," Samad told Reuters. Rahim has been suffering from wounds sustained earlier in the year in a clash with Afghan forces in Spin Boldak, and a deputy was appointed to assist him by the elusive fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Omar.

Guess he got better, hope he just had a relapse.

#10 I see they have new border signs:
"Welcome to Pakistan. The Cambodia of the 21st Century. Buckle Up For Safety."
