Afghan troops and specialist local trackers are on the trail of attackers who fired rockets at the U.S. base in Kandahar last week but nobody has yet been caught. Mohammad Yusuf Pashtoon, spokesman for Kandahar Governor Gul Agha, said that the attackers had been traced to a village 6-7 miles southwest of the airport. "We are looking for the culprits. We have a system of tracing footprints with local experts -- they look for tracks on the ground," he said. "They traced the people to a nearby village, so we are now looking for those people. We still don't know exactly who those people are."
Well, I'm just so surprised. Gul Agha's thugs henchmen men are usually so effective! Got good descriptions, too: "Between 5'2" and 6' tall, black hair, beards, wearing turbans." I mean, how many people are there in the area matching that description? |
