A team consisting of Pakistani and CIA operatives have worked together to execute the capture of the number 2 leader of the Afghan Taliban. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was arrested in Karachi recently. This is considered to be a cause of celebration for U.S. forces and Afghan’s alike.
Baradar is now in custody and is believed to be co operating with security teams. Baradar is a long standing member of the Taliban and was in charge of its day to day running. Officials hope this will help disrupt the Taliban organization and keep other leaders on their toes. I think that every thing we can do toward that cause will help us win the fight for the hearts and minds of the Afghani people.
