Nine Taliban arrested at Quetta hospital
2006-10-02
QUETTA: Police arrested nine Taliban suspects in a raid on a private hospital here on Sunday. Sources said that the raid was conducted on Al-Khidmat Hospital on a tip off. Six of the arrested Taliban were injured in a fight in Afghanistan and were under treatment at the hospital, while three others were there to look after the injured. They were taken to an undisclosed location for investigation.

The militants arrested on Sunday will be brought before a court to decide whether to repatriate them or jail them in Pakistan, Balochistan Police chief Chaudhry Muhammad Yaqoob said. Last month, more than 40 other Taliban fighters, including two senior commanders, were arrested from hospitals in Quetta where they were undergoing treatment for their wounds, police said. Yaqoob said on Sunday that 21 of those who were captured last month have returned home after they were handed over to Afghan authorities.

#3  Excuse me, I'm a bit dull this afternoon, of course they were ignored, they're left as bait for the next batch of wounded.
And probably can't even sneeze without a three page report sent in on how, which direction the snot went, and did he wipe with his hand, a towel, tissue, or just his sleeve.

Bait, this can work both ways, either we capture more wounded, or they avoid these particular doctors, have to recruit more, or just suffer and die (Hopefuly in great pain)
