DUBAI (Reuters) Qatar TV Says Afghans Seize 5 U.S. Special Forces Qatar`s al-Jazeera television said on Saturday that Afghan security forces had seized five members of the U.S. Special Forces near the border with Iran on a reconnaissance mission against Osama bin Laden`s group. It said a military source from bin Laden`s al Qaeda group telephoned its correspondent in Islamabad and said that the five -- three Americans and two Afghans with U.S. citizenship -- were from the U.S. Special Forces and had modern weapons and some maps of al Qaeda sites. The United States has named Afghan-based militant bin Laden and his al Qaeda followers as the prime suspects in the deadly September 11 suicide airliner attacks on New York and Washington. "The five were arrested, three Americans and two Afghans, who were trained in the U.S. Special Forces and have U.S. citizenship. The three Americans are also from the U.S. Special Forces," the correspondent quoted the source as saying. "They had some modern weapons and some maps of al Qaeda sites," the source was reported as saying. "They were on a reconnaissance mission to know the territory of al Qaeda." He said pictures of the men would be released soon. U.S. media said on Friday small groups of U.S. Special Forces had been operating in the rugged Muslim state in recent days, but Pentagon and other U.S. officials declined to comment. http://www.reuters.com/news_article.jhtml;jsessionid=3OODPL4… http://www.usa-pool.com |
