Some kidnappers killed in Afghanistan

I wrote earlier this week that perhaps some Canadian troops could avenge the deaths of the two Koreans recently murdered by the Taliban.

Turns out that is was the Afghans (backed by coalition troops) who did the job (Korea Times):

A dozen Taliban militants, including a leader allegedly involved in the kidnapping of Korean citizens last month, have been eliminated in an operation in Ghazni Province, police here said, Tuesday…

The police chief said the operation was conducted in the Qarabagh district, where the Koreans were waylaid and abducted by Taliban militants on July 19. He said coalition forces received a tip off that the Taliban were going to attack a police post in the area, and prepared a plan to ambush them as they were advancing towards the area.

Good work.

So I guess President Roh can demobilize the special ops guys that he was getting ready to go over to Afghanistan.
