Australian special forces, following a violent raid on a rural opium growing community, arrested 7 Afghanis.

A US marine manning the helicopter that air-lifted them out on the operation said:

"And the pilot said, 'That's too many people, we can't carry that many passengers.' And you just heard this silence and then we heard a pop. And then they said, 'OK, we have six prisoners'.

"So it was pretty apparent to everybody involved in that mission that they had just killed a prisoner that we had just watched them catch and hogtie."
