Captured militant 'could be top Taliban leader'
US-led coalition forces captured a militant fighter with only one leg in a battle this week in southern Afghanistan, and it was possible the militant could be top Taliban leader Mullah Dadullah, an Afghan general said today.
The militant was captured in a joint Afghan-coalition operation in Kandahar province on Wednesday, said Gen. Rehmatullah Raufi, the head of the Afghan military’s southern region.
