Suspected Taliban guerillas last week attempted to kidnap US journalists in eastern Afghanistan but were thwarted when the car they stopped only contained a local driver, a relative of the driver said.
"Okay! Hand over the infidels you're driving!"
"There ain't nobody in the car but me!"
"Oh. Well. You seen any infidels?" |
After the incident, the US State Department on warned that Taliban remnants were planning to abduct American journalists in an attempt to win the release of their compatriots currently held by the United States. |
