NATO Captures Senior taliban leader

NATO forces in Afghanistan have captured a senior taliban leader, without even firing a shot. I guess the taliban leader wasn't anxious to find out if there 72 brown eyed virgins waiting for him on the other side.

This is a big catch, Mullah Sakhi Dad, is said to have commanded large numbers of taliban, coordinated suicide bombings and he is closely connected to the leadership of the taliban. Specifically Mullah Berader Akhund, second in command of the taliban. ISAF

KABUL, Afghanistan - Without firing a shot, ISAF soldiers captured a suspected senior Taliban commander in Uruzgan during the very early morning of 1 October.

Mullah Sakhi Dad and one other insurgent were captured at a compound in Tarin Kowt district.

Reports have linked Sakhi Dad with the ordering and coordination of suicide bombers in Uruzgan province. Suicide bombers are alleged to have often reported directly to him and would not conduct their attacks without his permission.

In addition to leading a significant number of Taliban fighters, information received by ISAF has implicated Sakhi Dad in the distribution of mines, gunpowder and IED components throughout the province and the kidnappings of Afghan civilians. Sakhi Dad is also understood to be connected to Taliban leadership, especially Mullah Berader Akhund, the Taliban’s second in command.
