Taliban chief held after clash
Police have arrested a senior Taliban commander who has escaped twice from prisons in Afghanistan. He was arrested during a clash in the country's south that left three insurgents dead.
They said he was a senior commander, not a competent commander.
The militants, led by Taliban commander Mullah Naqibullah and dressed in police uniforms, ambushed a police convoy in Helmand province. The ensuing battle left three militants dead, and wounded two policemen and Naqibullah, who was taken into custody, police said. It was the third time that authorities have arrested Naqibullah.
"Can I have my old cell back?"
Two months ago, Naqibullah managed to escape from the prison run by the Afghan intelligence service in Lashkar Gah.
"No, you can't have your old cell back! Mahmoud, hit him!"
"Owwww!"
Previously he had escaped from a prison in the capital, Kabul.
"I'm free! Hah ha! I'm freeeee! Now, where can I get a police uniform so I can attack a convoy?"
Meanwhile, in neighbouring Kandahar province, an airstrike killed three men irrigating land close to a road in Panjwayi district.

#3 All this escaping/fleeing/hiding wears a body out. I think he's due for a vacation. A Caribbean vacation.

#5 Those 3 farmers must have been cleaning out a culvert and ditch. I wonder if they were using dynamite (or C4?) to clean the ditch as well.
