Afghan forces have trapped up to 200 Taliban fighters in a southern village, possibly including the militia's military commander, demanding they surrender or come under attack, Afghan officials said Monday.
Afghan police and government officials said the suspected Taliban fighters were surrounded as they gathered for a meeting in the mountain village of Keshay in Uruzgan province on Saturday.
Provincial police chief Gen. Mohammad Qasim Khan said NATO troops were also involved in the siege, but NATO spokeswoman Lt. Col. Angela Billings said she had no such information.
Khan told The Associated Press that Mullah Dadullah, a close aide to Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar, and other regional Taliban commanders were at the meeting when the village was surrounded. The security forces were still positioned around the village on Monday, he said.
"We are trying to get him to surrender and to arrest these Taliban without fighting," he said.

Some good stuff happening, no doubt. Thanks for the pings!
Right now I have to have my nose in the books and can only put half an eye on FR and it sure helps to get the pings.

"We are trying to get him to surrender and to arrest these Taliban without fighting," he said.So that they can escape later and become a problem once again.

Good for the Afghans! I hope they capture the enemy, interrogate them in the traditionally gentle Afghan way, and then either kill them or put out the word that they betrayed all of their comrades and let them go.

Stun them with gas. When they regain consciousness, get a Taleban kid to behead them serially.
