Afghanistan
Top Taleban commander jugged
2006-05-19
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.
We'll take any of 'em ...

#7  The prisoner, who has one leg, is believed to be Mullah Dadullah, the Associated Press quoted Afghan Gen. Rehmatullah Raufi as saying.

Raufi said he was captured during the same operation that led to the death of Canadian Capt. Nichola Goddard on Wednesday. Eighteen militants were killed and 35 captured during the battle in the Panjwayi district of Kandahar province.
