Baghlan troops fight off bandits
Troops garrisoned in Aliabad village on the road from Baghlan fought a brief action against bandits in which one, a man named Ayeed, probable ex-Taliban was killed. The troops returned the money the bandits had stolen and hung Ayeed's corpse from the barrel of a tank, beneath the green, white and black flag of the Northern Alliance and an 8-by-11-inch photograph of the late Gen. Ahmed Shah Massoud. And a wonderful time was had by all, except Ayeed. But that's all the more fodder for the Red Cross and Amnesty International in their relentless search for atrocities.
