Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar
Taliban And Pakistan Argue Over Fate of Islamist Detainee -- New York Times
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban on Wednesday publicly disputed claims that the Pakistani government had released a senior militant detainee, drawing a firm rebuttal from the government and plunging efforts to start peace talks in Afghanistan into new confusion.
The Taliban said in a written statement that Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, a founder of the Islamist movement, was “spending days and nights locked up behind bars in worrisome health conditions, which are deteriorating by the day.”
The statement contradicts a Pakistani claim, made on Sept. 21, that Pakistani security forces had released Mr. Baradar in a bid to bolster the faltering peace effort. Mr. Baradar was detained in the port city of Karachi in 2010, and his fate has become closely tied to efforts to kick-start negotiations.
