Another glorious act from Gitmo alumni
From Agence France Presse:
"A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner wanted for the 2004 kidnapping of two Chinese engineers in Pakistan blew himself up with a grenade during a clash with security forces on Tuesday, officials said.One-legged Taliban militant Abdullah Mehsud killed himself to avoid capture after troops raided his hideout, interior ministry spokesman Brigadier Javed Cheema told AFP."
My first thought was, aw, great, nice that he was freed from Guantanamo in the first place to wreak mayhem -- Mehsud was held there for 25 months and released in March 2004; in October 2004 he led the kidnapping of the Chinese engineers, and one died.
But then I was like, wait a minute: In May, one-legged Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah was killed. Taliban leader Mullah Omar has one eye. This latest guy had one leg. Are there any Taliban with all their parts?!?
