Gul Agha trying to put the fix in for Muttawakil
2002-02-23
  • Kandahar's governor told his people he was working to obtain the release of the ex-Taliban foreign minister -- the highest-ranking Taliban now in U.S. custody. Adding to the comments by Gov. Gul Agha's comments, his spokesman, Yusuf Pashtun, said he believed former Foreign Minister Mullah Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil "might be released soon."

    Agha was speaking to thousands of Afghan men gathered for prayers on Islam's holiday Eid al-Adha, or Feast of Slaughter. "I have helped many Taliban. I can try to help free Muttawakil," Agha told worshippers over the public address system in the high-domed blue mosque in a muddy field that Kandahar reserves for Eid services.
    Wonder how much that little bit of support cost?
