Hazrat Ali, the former Taliban intelligence and information chief captured ping
The media will do anything to prevent them from being called terrorists.
During the Vietnam war you rarely heard them N Vietnamese called communists.
Somethings never change.
I found this article that gives just a bit more detail:
GHAZNI CITY - A famous Taliban commander was among militants arrested during an operation in Gillan district of the central Ghazni province on Wednesday.
Major Dost Mohammad, in charge of the operation conducted by the 24th Battalion of the Afghan National Army, said: "We have captured Commander Hazrat Ali, who was intelligence chief of the northern Jawzjan province during the Taliban rule."
Arrested along with Hazrat Ali in Shinaki village were five other fighters, the major told Pajhwok Afghan News. An insurgent was also killed in the weeklong operation focused on Gillan, Nawa and Muqur districts.
"Rebel activities have increased in the area, with Taliban roaming around freely. But the government doesn't have the will and determination to scare away the insurgents stalking the area," Gillan police official Sakhi Dad alleged.
However, Major Dost Mohammad repudiated the claim and insisted the army and police were conducting patrols even in remote villages, frisking suspected people and searching vehicles.
Noor Mohammad, a 35-year-old resident, confirmed security presence in the district to deal with anti-social elements. "They are keeping an eye on suspects," he said.
