Meanwhile in Afghanistan

The US military, which still commands 18,000 troops here, has taken thousands of prisoners in Afghanistan since Operation Enduring Freedom, Washington's antiterrorism drive, began after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The US military is taking as few prisoners as possible in its campaign against Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, partly to forestall more complaints about its conduct after at least eight prisoners died in custody, an American commander said yesterday.
