Kandahar, Afghanistan-AP -- Some al-Qaida fighters who are threatening suicide in an Afghan hospital have been moved to another part of the facility.The nine armed Arab men are now in a ward with barred windows, following an escape by four of their comrades over the weekend.The men were moved to the ward, which had been previously used by the Taliban for political prisoners.Since arriving at the hospital in Kandahar more than two weeks ago, members of the group have threatened to blow themselves up if they're attended to by anyone other than the hospital's medical staff.The men are armed with grenades and pistols.Some were wounded by U-S bombing or fighting with Afghan tribal forces opposed to the Taliban.Thousands of Arabs went to Afghanistan to join the war against America shortly after the U-S launched attacks against Taliban and al-Qaida members.Prisoners are not armed don't you think?The Taliban and Alqueda just switched sides and that's about the size of it. Given enough time things will be back to the way it was.

    Kick open the door to their room, hose them down with a SAW and be done with it. This whole thing is starting to smell like another Vietnam or Desert Storm. Can't we get it right?!
