Mullah Omar's security chief captured

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Afghan security forces have captured Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar's personal security chief as he travelled in a van to the southern city of Kandahar, provincial officials have told Reuters.

The capture of Toor Mullah Naqibullah Khan, who headed Mullah Omar's household security, could help U.S. and Afghan forces track down his boss, one of the most wanted fugitives in the U.S.-led war on terror.

Osama bin Laden, who ran his al Qaeda network in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban, is also believed to be at large in the region.

"We have arrested top Taliban figures Toor Mullah Naqibullah Khan and Mullah Qayoom Angar on the way between Arghandab and Kandahar. They were carrying a satellite telephone and some important documents," said a senior Kandahar security official, who requested anonymity.

"We are hopeful we will arrest more Taliban figures and we hope that we can arrest their leader Mullah Omar," he said on Tuesday.

You mean we outsourced this job? Damn, I'm just so glad that Senator Kerry isn't President-elect Kerry.

When I was a boy of about 12...

I encountered a new word in an animated Star Trek episode. A race of flying, birdlike aliens was seeking some ancient artifact, lost to the ages, because it had some kind of holy significance. Kirk and crew needed to find it first, because, they were told by one of the birds, if it came to light, it might start something...a "holy war". The word they used for this was so unknown to Kirk (and by extention, to the viewer) that they had to define it in the plot exsposition.

The word was "jihad."

Sadly, my kids are not goint to need this word defined for them. They are going to know what it means, because in their world, there are raging nutballs who want to blame my country because their culture hasn't produced anything significant for a thousand years.

I think the first time I ever encountered the word was when I read Dune.

They should check the motorpool log. It should be in the glove box and it will tell them the starting mileage on the van. They should compare it with the current mileage and maybe they can get the radius of areas to search :-)

Back in the beginning of the Afghan campaign an Army predator had Omar sighted. When the command asked for permission to kill him, an Army lawyer stated he just didn't feel right about it and let ol' Omar go. The news said Rummy went wild, yelling and throwing things. Has ANYONE ever heard what happened to the wishy washy soldier? Did Rummy shoot him or did he get a promotion from the Clinton appointed generals?
