| The source is Azzam, so the recommended salt dosage is pretty high. Badshah Khan is our old buddy, Padshah Khan Zadran. Khan's eldest son was reported toe-tagged in a clash last March. This could be a retelling of the same tale. MEERANSHAH (AZZAM): Clashes occurred between US troops and Badshah Khan troops in Paktia. A US marine was killed and two others sustained life threatening injuries while Badshah Khan's son was arrested in a severely injured condition. A companion of Badshah Khan's son was killed during the encounter. Sources disclosed that US and Afghan troops were on regular guard duty patrol in Makka Tikka region in Paktia when they ordered two equipped men to hand over their weapons. Badshah Khan's son handed the Kalashnikov while his companion opened fire on coalition troops killing a US marine, but he was also killed by a US sniper. |
