#1 I suppose that one of the DOD contractor companies came up with a device that detects anomalies,; ie, a person with a burka scratching their nuts, clearing their nostrils in public or instinctively attacking woman actually wearing burkas.

#4 The 1st Company, 4th Commando Kandak, partnered with Coalition forces, was conducting a presence patrol to disrupt insurgent activity when the men were captured, according to ANA officials on the scene.
