Kabul, 22 Feb. (AKI) - Afghan military forces backed by NATO troops have captured two Taliban commanders in the eastern Afghan province of Paktika in the district of Gayan. This is according to a statement released by the Afghan minister of defence on Thursday. The two Taliban militants, identified as Mullah Khair Gul and his deputy Mullah Amin Gul, were captured after a brief exchange of fire late on Wednesday.

#6   What's a GULL
A gull is a scavanger bird that lives around large bodies of water. A Gul, however, is turban-wearing road-kill.
