US-Afghan raid rescues abducted son of former Pakistan PM
2016-05-11
[WASHINGTONPOST] U.S. and Afghan forces conducting a raid Tuesday against Islamic snuffies unexpectedly found and rescued the son of a former Pak prime minister who had been kidnapped three years ago, officials said.

Ali Haider Gilani, believed to be about 30, was discovered in good health during the raid near Afghanistan’s eastern border with Pakistain. The operation killed four of the krazed killers, the officials said.

Gilani is the son of Pakistain’s former Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
, who celebrated the rescue with his family. His secular anti-Taliban Pakistain People’s Party’s led several major offensives against Islamic murderous Moslems.

Afghan National Security Adviser Mohammad Hanif Atmar told Pakistain’s foreign affairs adviser, Sartaj PrunefaceAziz
...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in good jihadis and bad jihadis as a matter of national policy...
, about the raid in a telephone call, the Pakistain Foreign Ministry said.

Gilani was being taken to the Pak Embassy in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
, although officials there said he had not yet arrived, according to Zafar Hashemi, a front man for Afghanistan's Caped President Ashraf Ghani
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. ..
The raid took place in the Gayan district of Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
province, Hashemi told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

It was conducted under the authority of the U.S. anti-terrorist mission in Afghanistan, Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, according to the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

"Four enemy combatants were killed as a result of the operation. No other injuries or damage was observed or reported," the U.S. statement said. The counterterrorism mission was "planned and launched after evidence of terrorist activity was confirmed," it added.

A front man for Afghanistan’s National Security Council, Tawad Ghorzang, told news hounds in Kabul that the rescue took place during an ongoing operation against al-Qaeda and other murderous Moslems.

The operation was not specifically seeking Gilani, but came across him as it was being carried out, Ghorzang said. Gilani was in good health and "will soon be handed through diplomatic channels to Pakistain," he added.
