Top Afghan militant ‘captured’
Mansoor Dadullah - his brother was killed last May
A leading Afghan Taleban fighter has been captured after a shootout with security forces in south-west Pakistan, police say.
They say Mansoor Dadullah was injured in the incident in Balochistan province - earlier reports said he had died.
In December the Afghan Taleban said Mansoor Dadullah had been sacked for disobeying orders.
He had succeeded his brother, Mullah Dadullah, who was killed in a joint Afghan-Nato operation last May.
Police say that the shootout happened in the village of Gowal Ismail Zai, near the Afghan border.
“We had reports of his presence from intelligence sources… he was hiding in a house in the village. Four others were also arrested including three guards of Dadullah,” Balochistan police chief Saud Gohar told the AFP news agency.
Dadullah succeeded his elder brother - the senior Taleban military commander Mullah Dadullah - after he was killed in an Afghan and Nato operation in southern Afghanistan in May 2007.
The Taleban said in a statement late December that they had sacked Mansoor Dadullah “because he disobeyed orders of the Islamic Emirate” of the Taleban.
There has been no comment yet from the Taleban about Mansoor Dadullah’s fate.
