BREAKING NEWS

Updated: 57 minutes ago
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani security forces have captured a high-ranking Taliban leader in the southwestern city of Quetta, a senior Pakistani security official and Taliban sources said on Thursday.

The capture of Mullah Obaidullah Akhund marked the first time Pakistan had arrested a senior leader of the Islamist militia since it was driven from power in Afghanistan in 2001, and thousands of its fighters fled into Pakistan.

The security official, who requested anonymity, and the Taliban sources, said Akhund, the third most senior member of the Taliban's 10-member leadership council, was arrested late on Monday, hours after a surprise visit to Pakistan by U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney.

The head of the Interior Ministry's Crisis Management Unit, retired Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, denied Akhund had been detained when asked by Reuters.

Good job... now let's ship him off to a pool side room at Club Med, give him some fresh fruit, a back massage, and hope he tells us everything he knows.

Do they have waterproof "prayer rugs" for these occassions...maybe spandex turbans also.

I thought it was 72.

This capture has a peculiar-ness to it. It coincides closely with Dick Cheney's visit to Afghanistan.

I know what I want to be for halloween this year!



I will be the envy of all my friends with my "Deadeye Dick" costume!

Anyway, you know how the song goes, "Save A Quail, Shoot A Lawyer", or something like that. Dick Cheney Costume includes: Jumpsuit, Vest, Target and Mask. (Rifle sold separately)."

They got it wrong in the translation.

They are going to get 72 Virginians, and they'll all have their rifles.

Of course, they capture lots of low to mid-level people but unless they are "high ranking" the news won't break away from 24 hour coverage of Anna Nicole's funeral to show it.
