5 insurgents detained in Kandahar

KANDAHAR CITY (PAN): Two commanders were among five insurgents detained by intelligence operatives in southern Kandahar province, an official said on Saturday.

The National Directorate of Security official said the detainees included Maulvi Abdul Hai, accused of killing an intelligence operative some time ago. The five were shown to media representatives.

Abdul Hai told reporters he had been active against the government under the command of Haji Agha, a Taliban commander in Dand district. He confessed to killing the intelligence official in the Mir market area of Kandahar City on the directives of his leaders.

Officials said a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) and a pistol were recovered from Abdul Hai.

Another detainee, who introduced himself as Najmuddin, a resident of Badghis province, said he led an eight-member rebel group.

Gul Mohammad, alias Sufi, said he headed a 10-member militant group. Mohammad added he had been sent to Afghanistan by his Pakistani mentors to organise attacks against Afghan and international troops.
