| Financier for 'Mullah Dadullah Front' captured in Afghan south |
| 2010-12-05 |
| Coalition and Afghan security forces have captured a "key" financier for a little-known, radical wing of the Taliban known as the Mullah Dadullah Front, which is led by a former Guantanamo Bay detainee. Guess he wasn't all innocent or rehabilitated after all. The Taliban financier, who was not identified, was captured along with an undisclosed number of fighters yesterday by a combined special operations force during a raid in the district of Kandahar in the province of the same name. Does it seem like there are a lot of raids like this lately? ISAF said the Taliban financier "worked directly for the Mullah Dadullah Lang Allegiance leader" and "was heavily involved in financing and the transferring of funds for Helmand province-based insurgents." Hope he kept good account ledgers - and that we have them now. Maybe they can go on Wikileaks? Roggio has much more at link. |
