| #1 The circumstances of the arrest of a local school teacher by security forces are not clear; however, his release is being demanded While the circumstances may not be clear, they must be correct, or the Taliban would not be worked up over it - mostly they seem to want to close schools and put teachers out of work. Maybe he was arrested because the class he was teaching was 'Panty-bombs 101?' |
