| 2006-05-20 |
| A man claiming to be Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah said by telephone a report he had been captured in Afghanistan was untrue and he vowed to fight on against Afghan and foreign troops. The man telephoned a Reuters reporter late on Friday, hours after the BBC reported the capture of Dadullah, one of the Taliban's top commanders, after heavy clashes in the southern province of Kandahar. "I am Mullah Dadullah. The reports about my arrest are not only false but a pack of blatant lies," said the man, who sounded like Dadullah. "The Americans and their slaves are trying to boost the morale of their troops by spreading false rumours," the man said. The Taliban refer to the Afghan government as slaves of the United States. The one-legged The governor of Kandahar province, Assadullah Khalid, told a news conference on Friday that three senior Taliban members had been captured in fighting this week but he declined to identify them or say if Dadullah was among them. The man claiming to be Dadullah said the Taliban's jihad, or holy war, would continue and he dismissed the report that three senior Taliban had been captured. "I am conducting jihad with other Taliban mujahideen (holy warriors) for the liberation of my country from the occupying infidels," he said, referring to U.S. and other foreign troops. "Jihad will continue against the infidels and their agents." The man declined to say where he was speaking from, only saying he did not stay in any one place for long. "No senior Taliban leaders were arrested in southern Afghanistan. If anyone was arrested, they might be ordinary Taliban," he said. "Taliban mujahideen are strong and they have made it difficult for the infidels to stay in Afghanistan," he said. |

| #7 "Hello, Mama! Mama? It's your son. Your son Irving. Irving Dadullah. Can you hear me Mama? Yes, it's me. Yes, I know I never call, I never write, but that's why I'm calling. Yes I'm sorry to hear about Mrs. Ishtar's liver, but I don't want to talk about her surgery right now. I'm kind of in a hurry. No. No. Of course I know Mrs. Ishtar, but I'm kind of busy right now, I don't think I've met her daughter. Yes, I'm sure she has a nice personality. Mama, I'm in another country, I can't fly back home just because you lined up a date for me. No, Mama. No, I'm not gay, already. You would be the first to know if I was gay, and I'm not, so please quit asking. (Sigh). What? Oh, yes, Mama. Things have been hard at work recently. Yes, I know I should have stayed at home and been a tailor like Papa, but you know how it is. Mama, did you hear that they were saying they had caught me? Well, they didn't. What? No, I'm not calling from jail. DO NOT pawn your wedding ring. Yes. Yes. No. I don't mean to drive you to an early grave. Mama, It's not my fault that the Infidels keep winning, but you just can't get good help these days. What? Oh. Goodbye Mama. Take care of your hemorrhoids like the doctor said. Goodbye. Right. Okay, goodbye. Uh-huh. Mama, there's someone who wants to use the phone so I have to go now. Uh-huh. Yes. No. Please stop telling people that you think I'm gay. I'm not gay. No. Yes. Yes, Mama. Goodbye Mama. (Sigh). Look, I think there is something wrong with the phone, I can't hear you so well, so I'd better hang up. No, don't call back. I'll try to call next week. Really, I promise. So goodbye. Uh-huh. Goodbye. Yes. Bye-bye. Yes. Kisses." |

"Whereas I am an extraordinary "Taliban mujahideen are strong and they have made it difficult for the infidels to stay in Afghanistan," he said." "I would tell you to your face, but that is not convenient at this time so it is clearly not God's will." |
