Qala-i-Jangi prisoners "unsurrender"
800 of the "surrendered" Taliban at Kalai Jangi, near the internment center at Mazar-e-Sharif, staged a revolt. One and possibly two US Special Forces were reported killed. FoxNews reported a "bloodbath" as the NA forces reestablished control. The six-hour battle between the prisoners -- mostly non-Afghans -- and Northern Alliance troops was finally quelled with the aid of tanks and US warplanes.
