...from Akhiser to Van for as long as a football is being kicked there. Three goals, including another injury-time stunner, this one from the brilliant Nihat Kahveci, absolutely gutted the Czechs. Turkey's suburb central midfielder Tuncay Sanli did it all that night. When not sending passes that freed his wingers to hurl themselves at the Czech goal, he was busy retrieving loose balls for restarts, rushing over with a replacement for a linesman's broken flag, and then, when goalie Volkan Demirel foolishly got dismissed for shoving Jan Koller, Tuncay manned the goal, since the subs...
...next phase, Israel and Hamas will start indirect talks, through the Egyptians, to trade captured Israeli soldier Corporal Gilad Shalit for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Once Shalit is freed, says Israeli negotiator Amos Gilad, Israel will then agree to allow the reopening of Rafah, the main crossing between Gaza and Egypt, as long as it is manned by European Union monitors.

On June 13, Taliban forces sent two suicide bombers into a prison in the southern Afghan town of Kandahar; they were followed by 30 motorcyle-riding militants, who systematically broke down every cell door in the jail. The audacious raid freed an estimated 400 Taliban fighters, and many of them appear to have gone right to work. Within three days, hundreds of insurgents swarmed through the key district of Arghandab - and escaped prisoners were among them, says district chief Ghulam Farouq. As the Taliban gained a footing in the villages, NATO and Afghan army troops...
...main town of Arghandab, Mohammad says, and there are now 40 to 50 Taliban fighters in each village. He worries that the jailbreak was a precursor to an attack on the town of Arghandab itself. "The Taliban have gained a lot of power with those who have been freed from the prison," he says...
