World Washington hopes the capture of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar will at least temporarily weaken the Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan, where U.S. Marines are leading one of NATO's biggest offensives in the southern militant stronghold of Marjah. "I would call it significant," another U.S. official said of Mullah Baradar's capture. "But even when you get their leaders, they've shown an amazing resilience to bounce back. It's an adaptive organization." Both U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity. Kamran Bokhari, regional director of global intelligence group STRATFOR, said Mullah Baradar was a key deputy of Taliban leader Mullah Omar and a senior figure in the movement's leadership council. "It's not clear though that arrest will have a major impact on the battlefield," he said. "I suspect the Taliban gave up this guy to the Pakistanis who then gave him to the Americans in exchange for some concessions on Afghanistan and India." The Taliban denied the capture, which The New York Times said took place in the southern city of Karachi. A Taliban spokesman said Mullah Baradar was still in Afghanistan actively organizing the group's military and political activities. "He has not been captured. They want to spread this rumor just to divert the attention of people from their defeats in Marjah and confuse the public," Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters, referring to a U.S.-led NATO offensive in Afghanistan's Helmand province. Police and government officials in Karachi said they knew nothing of Baradar's capture. "I am not aware of any such thing," said Karachi police chief Waseem Ahmed. Pakistan government and military spokesmen were not available for comment. The New York Times reported that the raid that apprehended Mullah Baradar was conducted by Pakistan's spy agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, and involved CIA operatives. The ISI's role may signal a new level of Pakistani cooperation against Taliban leaders behind the Afghan insurgency. Pakistan has long resisted U.S. calls for a crackdown. "We continue to look for opportunities to coordinate across the border," the second American official said. "We appreciate the help we get." The White House, the CIA and the Pentagon declined comment on the operation. The U.S. assault is the first test of U.S. President Barack Obama's plan to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, where the Taliban has made a steady comeback since a U.S.-led invasion ousted it in 2001. The newspaper said it learned of the operation on Thursday, but delayed reporting it after a request by White House officials who said disclosing it would end a very successful intelligence push. The Times said it was now publishing the report because White House officials acknowledged that news of the capture was becoming broadly known in the region. U.S. officials were quoted as saying that in addition to the Taliban's military operations, Mullah Baradar ran the group's leadership council, often called the Quetta Shura.

I hope this is the beginning of more mutual cooperation between the Americans and Pakistanis towards what is in the common interest of all. Have we become so partisan that we must inject this useless political rambling into every American success or failure? While I am sure intelligence leading this may have started under Bush / Cheney, can we not also respect that Obama’s administration made this happen. Furthermore, I find the lack of respect for basic human rights to be disturbing. If we cannot fight our wars and keep our principles, then what are we fighting for? If we lose our principles, the enemy has already won. hawkeey Report As Abusive See All Comments (12) Add a Comment More from Reuters Taliban commander held in Pakistan: U.S. officials WASHINGTON/KABUL (Reuters) - The Taliban's top military commander has been captured in Pakistan in a joint raid by Pakistani and U.S. spy agencies, a U.S. official said, but the Taliban said he was still at work.
