Kabir, the former Taliban governor in Afghanistan's Nangahar Province,
and a key figure in the Taliban regime was recently captured in
Pakistan, two senior US officials tell Fox News. Kabir, considered to
be among the top ten most wanted Taliban leaders, was apprehended in
the Naw Shera district of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province by
Pakistani police forces.
A senior U.S. military official in Afghanistan called Kabir a “significant detention”.
The intelligence that led to Kabir's
capture was gathered from Mullah Baradar, the Taliban’s second in
command, who was picked up roughly two weeks ago in Karachi, Pakistan
by a joint CIA and Pakistani intelligence operation.
