| Nine Taliban suspects freed, 19 still held | |
| 2003-09-03 | |
Law enforcement agencies on Tuesday released 9 suspected Taliban soldiers and continued investigations against 19. Sources said the nine suspects were released after the authorities were unable to prove their involvement with the Taliban. Sources said two suspects were arrested on the border and the other 26 were arrested from a house near a religious institution. The Frontier Corps have installed searchlights and hidden cameras to monitor the border. Sources said four Afghan soldiers were arrested at the border for entering Pakistan illegally. During interrogation, some suspects confessed to their involvement in an attack on a check post in Spin Boldak.

| #2 "It was a mistake to seize these guys at this particular time." It was a mistake to seize these guys at all. Cross the border in either direction without official permission and the policy should be to shoot first and ask questions later. Who are we kidding here? This is not a border; this is a joke. If we were as serious as we should be, this border would be closed. Drop leaflets, set a date, and then shoot anything that moves. |

| #1 It was a mistake to seize these guys at this particular time. Hopefully they will still be able to thumb a ride to reenforce Mulah Fred Mahaledstone's Bedrock Bowlers of Death in Tora Bora. |
