CentCom: Taliban "shadow governor" captured
What heartless brutes! Now this poor Taliban fellow has joined the ranks of the unemployed and will likely be defaulting on his mortgage.
...The newly appointed Taliban shadow governor of Baghlan province was captured May 31 by an Afghan-international force as he prepared to leave for Pakistan.
His predecessor was killed in a coalition airstrike the previous day, and this capture marks the third time in as many weeks that the Taliban have had to replace named shadow governors for Baghlan province because of coalition operations...
Three shadow governors in three weeks is a pretty bad retention rate. I'm thinking these governors need to unionize.
