Three Taliban officials handed over to US
2005-03-09
Three senior Taliban officials, arrested in Pakistan, have been handed over to the US military at the Bagram base, the Pajhwok Afghan News agency quoted an Afghan intelligence source as saying on Monday. The officials in the US custody were Maulvi Mohammad Taha, former Nangarhar Province chief of police; Mulla Abdul Razzaq, Taliban's top military commander, and Syed Akbar Agha, leader of a Taliban splinter faction, Jaish-e-Muslimeen. The Kabul-based Afghan news agency said Syed Akbar Agha was suspected of being involved in the kidnapping of three United Nations elections workers in Kabul in October last year.
The three in that picture don't look so senior to me ...

#8  They said it was, 3dc. I always assumed the research continued -- its the kind of thing scientists just do, unless someone stands over them at all times with a very large stick... or an even more interesting project. ;-)

#7  Trailing wife. I am still upset that the Neutron one was taken out of service. Oil just crys for it.

#5  Thankfully beyond my ken, .com. Philosophically I'm of the "nuke 'em 'till there's no dust left" school, which I try really hard to keep reined in -- most of the time it isn't helpful, which is why we are all grateful I'm not in charge of anything important on the larger scale of things. ;-)

#4  tw - Think they've got it all mixed up?

This is my rifle,

this one's for killing,
this one's for fun...

#1  Now lets have them "dissappear" at GITMO while we ask {knuckles crack} questions, before some smelly federal judge gets meddlesome.
