Mohammad Ashan, a mid-level Taliban commander in Paktika province, demanded of the officers at the scene the $100 finder’s fee listed on the poster, the Post reports.
Ashan was arrested on the spot, and is suspected of plotting at least two attacks against Afghan security forces, the Post reports.
“We asked him, ‘Is this you?’ Mohammad Ashan answered with an incredible amount of enthusiasm, ‘Yes, yes, that’s me! Can I get my award now?'” SPC Matthew Baker told the Post.
“Clearly,” one U.S. official told the Post, “the man is an imbecile.”
So lets give him the $100 he demands and let him in Jail for 100 years which will cost much more then $100.
Give him the money. It’s a small price to pay for having him in custody.
I wish all the Taliban members were this stupid. If this is a so called commander, then a simple private should be a piece of cake.
We probably overbid on this one- don’t you think he would’ve come in for 50?
they halachically owe him the money. to be mazik a rasha is assur
I can he can use the money in the prison for some candy bars and phone calls.
One Monopoly bill coming right up.
Give him $100 and kill him quickly. Let him use $100 for his own funeral.
These are the people Hussein Obama decided he can’t defeat and chose to cut and run?
How badly did He need the money?? is it a sign that the sanction in Iran is working even for terrorist. not only for the poor ppl in Iran?!?
smart one, Afghanistan and Iran are different countries.
