Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's military commander in southern Afghanistan, is reported to have been surrounded by Afghan troops, sources have told Al Jazeera.

About 200 Taliban are believed to be with Dadullah, one of Nato's most-wanted men, in the province of Uruzgan, a senior official in the Afghan intelligence service said.

Taliban spokesmen have told Al Jazeera that heavy fighting and bombing is going on in Uruzgan province, but they said Dadullah was currently in Helmand province.

There may be some credence to this report. NATO is being very quiet about this report, refusing to even admit they are involved. Taliban sopkesman admits heavy fighting is going on, but won't admit Dadullah is there. If you read the whole article you will see that Dadullah has filmed many of his interviews in Uruzgan province, so maybe we finally have him cornered.

I bet Katie Curic is thinking One can only hope that they have enough money to negotiate their way out of this standoff to escape to Pakistan or Iran

Because NATO isnt involved. There is a sizable number of American forces in theatre that operate independant of NATO.

If there are high value targets, I am sure special ops is on the ground, and the predators and global stars are in the air. If peg leg Dadullah raises his head, a missle will not be far behind.
