The Taliban’s first mistake was kidnapping 36-year-old Awal Khan last week in Paktika, Afghanistan. They had no idea what they were in for.

Khan and a local police officer were driving last Wednesday in the Taliban stronghold bordering Pakistan when the militants took them, provincial deputy security chief Abdul Rauf Masood told Agence France-Presse.

Khan — despite being handcuffed at the time, Masood told AFP — grabbed a weapon belonging to one of his captors and opened fire.

“Awal Khan sprayed bullets on all of them, killing seven and wounding 18 others,” provincial governor spokesman Mohammad Rahman Ayaz told the outlet Thursday.

  1. Shame on him! He only killed 7 and wounded 18. I shudder to think what happened to him when he ran out of bullets.
