After a regular battle with Afghan fighters, where five civilian Afghans have died, Polish soldiers captured two terrorists. This has happened on previous Thursday [August 16] but only now the Ministry of National Defense boasts that one of the captives is a terrorist wanted by coalition forces. His pseudonym is Puma.
He is now being interrogated by Americans who hope to learn more about whereabouts of other terrorists. Knowing mentality of Taliban there are no high hopes for any information from him. There is no doubt that the local population favors Taliban. After Poles have captured 'Puma' the village elders wished to negotiate his release. The villagers have proposed exchanging him for a dozen or so Koreans, kidnapped last July.
"One does not negotiate with terrorists" - responds MND.
"Puma" has been captured on August the 16th. Poles were on a routine patrol when at 11.45 hours, local time, the personnel carrier Rosomak hit a mine 26 km north of Wazi Khwa base. A band of fighters jumped out of one of the shacks and started shooting at the Poles - who had no choice but to return fire. Unfortunately some civilians were on the line of fire. Several of them died and many became wounded. Later on Poles chased the terrorists and captured "Puma" and his companion.
According to Polish Military Counter-Intelligence Service, one of the captured terrorist has been identified as Hakim Zobi Ullah Shahed ps. Puma, a commander of tactical level.
In July alone he has organized and executed two attacks on coalition forces. As a result six ANA soldiers have died on July the 2nd and one American soldier has burned to death in attack on his HUMVEE on July the 5th.![]()
