| U.S. troops began disarming militia fighters in the town of Spin Boldak. Security men of Gul Agha Shirzai, governor of Kandahar, had also disarmed many of the private militias in the city. A Reuters reporter saw two U.S. soldiers enter a room at a checkpoint set up by a militia group near the border with Pakistan while a third soldier stood guard outside. A few minutes later the soldiers emerged from the room carrying about 16 Kalashnikov rifles that they dumped in their vehicle. Cheese. Next thing you know those guys are gonna have to get jobs. |
