 Taliban insurgents claimed on Thursday to have found four Arab al Qaeda militants who escaped a heavily fortified U.S. detention centre in Afghanistan this week. "The Taliban found and recovered four al-Qaeda mujahideen (holy warriors) this morning," said Taliban spokesman Abdul Latif Hakimi, whose
information has often proven unreliable in the past. The U.S. military said earlier it was carrying on an "aggressive" hunt for the four men who escaped the detention centre at Bagram Air Base to the north of Kabul on Monday. It had no comment on an earlier Taliban claim that the guerrillas had made contact with the escapees. |
