Arrests In The Afghan Rank And File

In Paktia, American soldiers have arrested Barmal’s commander allegedly for install planting missiles against them. Americans have deployed specially-trained “detective” dogs in different parts of Afghanistan to track down crazed killers “terrorists.” American forces were tipped about four missiles installed near Barmal District by Commander Dawood Jan. The Americans disabled these missiles with the help of detective dogs who later on recognized Commander Dawood Jan himself.
Ooops. Bad move, Dawood. That's probably why the Muslims don't like doggies...
Dawood was arrested. After the investigations, it was revealed that in retaliation for decreasing the salary of Afghan soldiers, Dawood hit the American base with several rockets. A driver working with the American forces said that the Northern Alliance Commanders installed land mines or rockets in order to claim a $500 reward from the Americans. He also added that the Americans are growing tired of this game. Dawood has been shifted to Bagram Airbase after preliminary investigations with the hope of determining more Northern Alliance tactics.
That's a cute story, if it's true. Dawood was setting up some phony attacks to pick up some reward money and to get back at the Merkins for cutting the pay of his gunnies. And the Merkins turned out not to be a dumb as he thought they were. It leads one to wonder how many of the other inept rocket attacks on the U.S. positions are generated for similarly stupid reasons.
