Two ranking Taliban officials arrested
Afghan security sources said on Monday that Minister of Education Mullah Saeid Shahid Kheil and a senior staff of the information department Asadollah Sadouzi of the toppled Taliban regime were arrested during special operations to mop up remnants of the Taliban regime and the al-Qaeda terrorist network. Taliban's trade minister Mullah abdul Razzaq was also arrested during an operation in Oruzgan province of Afghanistan on Tuesday. Asadollah Khaled, one of the political and security officials of Ghazni province said the security forces of the Afghan government, backed by the international coalition forces, arrested a number of remnants of the Taliban and the al-Qaeda terrorist network. The remnants of the Taliban and al-Qaeda network entered the Afghanistan soil via southern and eastern borders with Pakistan after rehabilitation. The Afghan state forces have launched special operations to clean up southern and eastern provinces in cooperation with international coalition forces stationed in that country. Doesn't sound like they were actually rehabilitated in the course of their stay in Pakland. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-01 |
