[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A top Taliban leader who was in charge of coordinating the group’s suicide kaboom missions was tossed in the slammerDon't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! during an operation in North of Afghanistan. The Afghan Intelligence, National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS), said Saturday that the detained Taliban leader has been identified as Qari Ahmad Khalid son of Mohammad Alim. According to a statement by NDS, Qari Khalid was arrested during a special military operation from Maimana city, the lovely provincial capital fo Farya province. The statement further added that Qari Khalid has admitted he was looking to coordinate a major attack in Maimana city by detonating a remote-controlled Improvised Explosive Device. According to NDS, the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) contained 25 kgs of explosives but the intelligence operatives managed to succcessfully thwart the attack. The Talibs group has not commentd regaring the report so far. Taliban Lions of Islam and turbans belonging to the other holy warrior groups frequently use Improvised Explosive Device (IED) as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces but the ordinary civilians are often targeted in such attacks. This comes as the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale...
