KABUL . Afghan intelligence agents arrested one of the top spokesmen for 
the insurgent Taleban movement as he crossed into Afghanistan from 
Pakistan, the intelligence agency said yesterday.

Mohammad Hanif was arrested on Monday at the Torkham border post, 
intelligence agency spokesman Sayed Ansari said.

"Our intelligence officers in (the eastern city of) Jalalabad arrested 
Abdul Haqiq who was operating under the codename of Doctor Mohammad 
Hanif who was the Taleban spokesman," Ansari said.

Hanif regularly spoke to the international and Afghan media from secret 
locations about Taleban activities in eastern Afghanistan saying he was 
speaking on behalf of the extremist movement.

He was one of the most high-profile Taleban spokesmen along with Yousuf 
Ahmadi, who usually speaks about issues in southern Afghanistan.

They were appointed after the chief spokesman, Abdul Latif Hakimi, was 
arrested in Pakistan in October 2005.
