The Defence Department announced yesterday that Australian troops from the Special Operations Task Group had captured senior Taliban militant Mullah Bari Ghul in an operation last week.
Bari Ghul was known as the shadow governor of Oruzgan province, a reference used by the Taliban to describe his status as the head of its underground operations in the southern
Defence said no Australian soldiers nor Afghan civilians were hurt in the operation. They would not say if any Taliban fighters were killed.
A Defence spokeswoman said the operation "caught the shadow governor and his supporters off guard".
Defence spokesman Brian Dawson said Bari Ghul was responsible for a "campaign of intimidation and violence" against the province's population. Bari Ghul is alleged to have co-ordinated numerous attacks on both Afghan and international troops and facilitated the flow of money, equipment and foreign fighters into
In particular, he is said to have green-lighted most of the improvised explosive device attacks across Oruzgan, such as those that killed Diggers Sean McCarthy and David Pearce.

Thankfully he was not captured by UK forces, had that happened he would have been freed by a scumbag human rights lawyer in seconds, given money for abuses of his human rights, the soldiers who caught him would have been hounded through the courts and the bastard would now be moving into a council house in Tipton(home of the filth the Gitmo 5).
Hopefully this pc crap won't last forever. Well Done Aussie SAS!
