Taliban spy chief found wounded in police vehicle on the way to Kabul
2016-06-20
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A senior Taliban leader was found maimed in a police vehicle as he was being shifted to Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
apparently for treatment purposes.

The Taliban leader identified as Qari Zahir was the spy chief of the Taliban group and was found from the police vehicle in a check post in Khenjan district of Baghlan.

A security official speaking on the condition of anonymity said Qari Zahir was incarcerated
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
by the operatives of the Afghan intelligence, National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS).

The official further added that two coppers were also arrested in connection to the evacuation of the senior Taliban leader using the police vehicle.

#1  Perhaps he will become much more wounded while in custody, if the authorities are aggressive in their interrogation.
