Pakistan Captures Another Taliban Leader

Pakistani forces say they have seized another Taliban leader, Mullah Abdul Kabir, who leads Taliban forces against the U.S. in the region. American officials said they could not confirm his capture. Mullah Kabir was held several days ago in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier province, the Pakistani official said. Mullah Kabir is the second member of the Quetta Shura, the small group of leaders who direct the Taliban's operations, to be captured in Pakistan in recent weeks. Pakistani officials seemed to be keeping Mullah Kabir's arrest a big secret, even from their American allies.
