| 2003-05-02 |
| Afghan government forces arrested 60 Taliban rebels on Friday following a rocket attack on a major dam in the southwest of the country, a provincial governor said. The governor of the province of Helmand, Sher Mohammad Akhundzada, told Reuters three rockets had been fired on Thursday night at Kajakai dam in the north of the province, but had missed their target. Typical islamic marksmanship, can't hit a dam thing.(rimshot) "In the morning we launched a mopping up operation," he said. "We arrested 60 Taliban, among them 10 senior officials." Senior officials on a operation, must be getting short handed. Akhundzada said government forces conducted house to house searches in the area and that operations were continuing. "In some places we also discovered missiles and important documents," he added. Nice work |
