Taleban commander still at large [View All]

[Caution]

The Taleban commander Mullah Dadullah has not been captured, a spokesman for the US-led forces in southern Afghanistan has said.

Last week Afghan officials indicated they had caught the commander, who is believed to be the Taleban's military leader in southern Afghanistan.

Mullah Dadullah is also high on the US most wanted list.

The US military spokesman said although a senior Taleban member had been caught, it was not Mullah Dadullah.

"We have, in fact, captured a high-ranking Taleban who does fit the general description of Mullah Dadullah but I can confirm to you it is not Mullah Dadullah," Major James Yonts told the BBC.

Looks like we can't even capture the number 2's anymore.
