Top Taleban commander jugged
One of the Taleban's leading commanders, Mullah Dadullah, has been captured by international troops in Afghanistan, the BBC has been told. He is said to have been detained in the southern province of Kandahar. The BBC's Alastair Leithead in Kabul says Mullah Dadullah has a reputation as a brutal military commander. Last year a court in Pakistan sentenced Mullah Dadullah to life in prison for trying to kill a member of the Pakistani parliament. Three years ago, Mullah Dadullah told the BBC the Taleban, deposed in 2001, hoped to regain power in Afghanistan. Now, which Mullah Dadullah is this, I seem to remember two or three running around. |
