ANOTHER GOOD DAY IN AFGHANISTAN..

2009 has got off to a good start. The Hamas infestation in Gaza is being dealt with and now comes the welcome news that Coalition forces in Afghanistan have killed more than 30 terrorists after they were attacked by a large force during a raid on a Taliban roadside bomb cell, the US military has said.

During the battle in the Alishang district of Laghman province, 65 miles north east of the capital Kabul, 32 fighters were killed, including one female and one militant was taken prisoner. "During the operation, as many as 75 armed militants exited their compounds and attempted to converge on the force," a US spokesman said.

That's disappointing - the one prisoner being taken, I mean.

No doubt the Human Rights crack brigade will be already starting the campaign to set him free.
