Taliban Commander Captured in Afghanistan
Monday, Oct. 20, 2003

KABUL, Afghanistan – A senior Taliban commander key to the ousted militia's links with al-Qaida has been captured by coalition forces in central Afghanistan, a U.S. military spokesman said today.

Mullah Janan, who had been the Taliban's coordinator with the al-Qaida terror network, was captured with the help of Afghan troops near Deh Rawod in the central province of Uruzgan, Col. Rodney Davis said in an e-mailed statement.

Janan was observed leaving the area by coalition special operations forces and was brought under control at an Afghan Militia Force checkpoint, Davis said. He did not provide any more details.

Authorities have said that Janan has close ties with Osama bin Laden and might have knowledge of his whereabouts.

He is also believed to be responsible for a rocket attack in July on an American military outpost in Deh Rawod, Davis said. No damage or casualties were reported then.
