Afghan troops captured five suspected Taliban during a "clean-up" operation in the country’s southern Zabul province, Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) said today. Maulvi Mohammed Omar, Zabul’s deputy governor, told the agency the arrests were made during recent raids in Meezana district. "We recovered ten Kalashinkovs from the possession of a Taliban fighter who was trying to escape in a fetching head-to-toe scarf," he said. Omar said the five suspects have been sent to southern Kandahar province for interrogation.
