Military canine 'in Afghan Taliban custody'

[joeybee12]

Kabul (AFP) - The Taliban say they captured a military dog from foreign forces operating in Afghanistan following a battle in the east of the country late last year.

In a video posted on the insurgents' website on Wednesday and later on Facebook, the Taliban claim the dog was seized from the US military.

But Western defence sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP the dog belonged to British forces.

The video shows the animal, whom the Taliban said is named "Colonel", being held on a leash in a small, well-lit courtyard surrounded by five men holding guns and grenades.
