Highest Ranking Taliban in Helmand Province Surrenders to Hot Retro Trend of Wearing Spats and Pakistan Forces, But Mostly Pakistan Forces
Bonus: He surrendered because he was afraid of being killed by British Special Forces.
Special Extra Bonus: British forces actually did kill another senior Taliban just after this guy surrendered.
Triple Play Bonus Bonus Bonus: The British troops seized his spats as contraband, which they then presented as a gift to Sir Elton John.
Correction: I erroneously wrote he'd surrendered to the British. He hasn't. He surrendered to Pakistan and, as a commenter points out, a terrorist surrendering to Pakistan isn't exactly the equivalent of the death penalty.
Still, it's a win. He heard the footsteps, and went running back to mama.
