Islamabad, July 24: Pakistani security forces have arrested a senior Afghan Taleban commander in Quetta.
Mullah Rahim is said to be the senior most Taleban leader in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.
The Times quoted British commanders in Afghanistan as saying that Rahim gave himself up on Saturday.
The issue was so sensitive that Pakistani security officials would neither confirm nor deny the capture of Mullah Rahim — just as they have never acknowledged the arrest of other high-ranking insurgents in the past.
