SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan, May 20 (Reuters) - A man claiming to be Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah said by telephone a report he had been captured in Afghanistan was untrue and he vowed to fight on against Afghan and foreign troops.

The man telephoned a Reuters reporter late on Friday, hours after the BBC reported the capture of Dadullah, one of the Taliban's top commanders, after heavy clashes in the southern province of Kandahar.

"I am Mullah Dadullah. The reports about my arrest are not only false but a pack of blatant lies," said the man, who sounded like Dadullah.

"The Americans and their slaves are trying to boost the morale of their troops by spreading false rumours," the man said. The Taliban refer to the Afghan government as slaves of the United States.

The one-legged Dadullah is a member of the Taliban's 10-man leadership council and is regarded as close to the fugitive top leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar.

1. Maybe the NSA has his call logged and can pinpoint him now ?

Oh no that would be asking too much, besides he probably didn't make the call through Verizon, AT&T or Bell South.
