ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The most senior Taliban commander in Afghanistan’s wartorn Helmand province has given himself up because he feared being killed by British special forces.
The news will be a massive blow to insurgent forces.
Mullah Rahim surrendered to authorities in Pakistan, the Ministry of Defence said last night.
Rahim - thought to be one of the five main Taliban commanders - is reported to have handed himself in to Pakistani police near the border and is being held in the town of Quetta.”
