| 2006-02-02 |
| Eight foreigners were arrested Monday and Tuesday by Afghan forces in charge of having relations with al Qaida in the southwestern province of Nimroz, the provincial governor said Tuesday. "In the two seperate ope rations launched by Afghan security forces and intelligence service forces in Zaranj, the provincial capital of Nimroz, eight foreigners entered Afghanistan without any legal documents were arrested since being suspected of having relations with al Qaida," the provincial governor Ghulam Dastagir Azad said. "Last night we arrested three persons including one Iraqi and two Kashmiris. Tonight another five Bangladeshis were arrested. After the interrogation, the eight persons were confirmed of being trained in religious schools out of Afghanistan," he added. The interrogation is still going on, and the result will be announced after it comes out, he added. Nine persons including two Pakistanis were arrested Saturday and Sunday in charge of terrorist activities in the southern province of Kandahar, the provincial governor said Sunday. "We have found explosives, vehicles for car bombs, remote control bombs and so on. After the investigation, the two Pakistanis have confessed they had been trained in Pakistan for the suicide explosion," Assadullah Khalid told journalists in a press conference. After the suicide explosions in the beginning of this month in Kanhahar, Afghan forces adopted security measures for the safety of the place. Perhaps because of this reason some suspected terrorists escaped to the neighboring provinces like Nimroz. |

| #5 Two further steps to take: 1) Foreigners illegally present & caught with weapons in Afghanistan are treated as illegal combatants & executed summarily 2) Iraq starts doing the same with their infiltrators. US pays average Iraqi $X per "head", should be a thriving business until jihadis get the idea. Better than the flypaper concept, more like the roach motel concept... |

| #1 Over-stayed their madrassah visas, did they? "The interrogation is still going on, and the result will be announced after it comes out, he added." Gosh, I hope they were Mirandized and given their milk 'n cookies 'n stuff. Dont' say anything mean to 'em, neither. I'm sure they're really just nice boys who got confused about what year it was or sumthin'. Students, sheesh, so distracted. |
