-- KABUL, Afghanistan -- Afghan police killed a Taliban militant alleged to be behind the July kidnappings of 23 South Korean church workers, authorities said Tuesday. Up to 27 other insurgents were also slain.Once again the local clergy are up to their Korans in kidnapping and murder.
Mullah Mateen was among 16 militants killed in fighting late Monday and early Tuesday in Ghazni province, where the South Koreans were kidnapped, said Ghazni Deputy Gov. Kazim Allayar.Think of this as training your dog to stay off the couch... with bullets instead of a rolled up newspaper.
Allayar said Mateen played a key role in the kidnapping, including negotiating with the government in the early days of the kidnappings, which underscored the security problems facing Afghanistan at a time of surging Taliban violence.
Sooner or later, these dopes will catch on.
Or we'll keep swatting them like bugs.
