He was supposed to be suffering from kidney failure, and require
regular kidney dialysis treatment.
During the US bombing campaign in Afghanistan, he would probably be
having great difficulties in getting replacement filters cartridges
for his kidney dialysis machine.
This should handicap him a bit more, and dry up his funds further,
as the filter cartridges are expensive.
if the "Bombs" don't get him, his "kidneys" will fail him.
