On May 19, General Rahmatullah Raufi, an Afghan army commander in the south, announced the possible capture of Mullah Dadullah, one of the Taliban's key military leaders, during an operation in Kandahar province (PakTribune, May 22). After the announcement, however, a man claiming to be Dadullah called a reporter with Afghan Islamic Press, refuting the reports of his capture (Afghan Islamic Press, May 20). After asking Dadullah certain identifying questions, the reporter with AIP stated that he "was completely sure that it was Mullah Dadullah" (Afghan Islamic Press, May 20). On May 22, U.S. military spokesman Major James Yonts confirmed the capture of "a high-ranking Taliban who does fit the general description of Mullah Dadullah but I can confirm to you it is not Mullah Dadullah" (BBC, May 22). This is not the first time Dadullah has evaded capture.
