US forces pick up Taliban commander
US special forces raided a house and arrested four Afghans, including an associate of a Taliban commander, in eastern Khost province. US troops arrived in several helicopters at Zari Khil village in the early hours of the morning. After raiding a house, they arrested four people including Sirajuddin Din, a close associate of top Taliban commander Jalaluddin Haqqani who has been a target of the US-led bombing campaign. The US forces were investigating Haqqani's whereabouts.
"There's some people want to have a talk with you, Sirajuddin."
