The Afghan government on Thursday freed 49 Pakistanis captured during the US-led war against the Taliban regime in late 2001, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said.
| Why the hell would they do something dumb like that?... Oh. They've been doing dumb things like that. |
The 49 Pakistanis were released as a sign of goodwill towards Pakistan, General Aroun Hassefi said. âWe have decided to release 49 Pakistanis captured in combat at the end of 2001 in the north of Afghanistan. They enlisted because of Al Qaeda propaganda,â Gen Hassefi said. âWe hope that the Pakistani government will make clear to these people that the path they had chosen was bad.â
| I wonder how many of them will try and blow up Perv? |
General Hassefi, calling on the released men to use their re-found freedom well, allowed members of the media to witness the release of the prisoners. Pakistan on late Sunday released 149 Afghan nationals serving terms in Pakistani prisons for immigration violations as a goodwill gesture a day before the first official visit to Afghanistan by Prime Minister Zafarullah Jamali. |
