| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] A former deputy minister of the regime of Taliban has been detained in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Reports suggest that Abdul Rahman Zahid, the deputy foreign minister of Taliban regime, was placed in durance vile Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! after landing at Dubai International Airport last month. According to reports, Zahid was not directly involved in the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan but had contacts with the group's political office in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... and some other Taliban capos in Pakistain. UAE government has said that Zahid, who also had international links, might have held meetings without prior permission. An official has told Pajhwok news agency on the condition of anonymity Zahid had increased interaction with the Afghan government and his arrest might be a joint effort of the spy networks of the UAE and Pakistain. Neither Taliban nor Afghan government has commented on the report. But Motasim Agha Jan who was a high-ranking official of the Taliban was also anonymously arrested in UAE while he was supporting a peace deal between Taliban and Afghan government. He was later set free. |
