Pakistani City: Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar: The Afghan government has long demanded that Pakistan release Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Talibans former deputy leader. He was arrested in a joint raid with the CIA in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi in 2010, according to 660 News. He could be released this month or very soon, said Aziz. It is part of confidence building measures, and we are hopeful he can play a role and ISLAMABAD Pakistan has decided to release the most senior Afghan Taliban prisoner it is holding and could do so as soon as this month to jumpstart the struggling peace process, a senior Pakistani official said. Sartaj Aziz, adviser to the Pakistani prime minister on national security and foreign affairs, said Tuesday that the government has agreed to release Baradar to help the peace process but has not yet set a date.
