Taliban commander captured hiding in a well
2005-02-16
A COMMANDER of Taliban guerrillas in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan was captured and handed over to US forces last week after trying to hide in a well, the provincial governor said today. Mullah Mohammad Naeem was captured by Afghan forces in the village of Sia Sang in Uruzgan's Deh Rawud district on Friday, Jan Mohammad Khan told Reuters. "The raid was conducted on a house in Deh Rawud," he said. "The coward Taliban commander was hiding in a well." Khan said Naeem was a senior Taliban commander in the province and had been planning attacks on US-led forces. Khan said Naeem was close to Mullah Brother, one of two top military aides to Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, and was responsible for many guerrilla attacks.

And broke his collar-bone.
A doctor should attend the sick,
And leave the well alone!"

#2  Maybe they'll squeeze him for information - wring him dry - he could be a good source.
