The hazards of wild game hunting in Afghanistan...

"Did Airstrike Kill Taliban Mastermind or Civilians?"

"Kabul, Afghanistan --- Afghanistan's intelligence agency said on Wednesday that the mastermind of a bloody attack on the agency's base this week had been killed in an airstrike, but residents and local officials in the area said the airstrike had in fact targeted a group of hunters on a hilltop."

Has anybody hunted wild game populations in Afghanistan, and what type of wild critters roam the land?

Thanks...
