Taliban Announces Capture of US Special Forces Team
Via NY Transfer News * All the News That Doesn't Fit
BBC is reporting the Taliban say that an entire team of 5 (3
Americans) have been captured by the Taliban. They are being
interrogated and say that photographs of them will soon be released.
The Pentagon, thus far, will not comment.
US special forces 'held in Afghanistan'
A team of United States special forces is reported to have been
captured inside Afghanistan by Taleban forces.
Qatar's al-Jazeera television said it had been contacted by a source
from Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda organisation.
The source said Taleban forces had detained five people - three of
them Americans - on a reconnaisance mission near the border with
Iran.
"Our correspondent in Islamabad cited sources in Afghanistan as
saying that the Afghan security services have arrested five armed
persons in Helmand, adjacent to the border with Iran. They are
three Americans and two Afghans", al-Jazeera said.
"The three Americans are from the US Special Forces," the correspondent
quoted the source as saying.
"They had some modern weapons and some maps of al-Qaeda sites. They
were on a reconnassiance mission to know the territory of al Qaeda".
The source said they would release photographs of the captured men
soon.
Osama Bin Laden has in the past sent information about al-Qaeda's
activities and views to the al-Jazeera station.
A senior White House official confirmed on Friday that US and UK
special forces have been operating inside Afghanistan.
He said the commandos were carrying out scouting and reconnaissance
missions, but were not actively hunting for the prime suspect Osama
bin Laden, the unnamed official said.
