Western officials in Afghanistan say they have captured a key Iranian agent, suspected of smuggling weapons to the Taliban. He is said to belong to the elite al-Quds force of Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The captured man has been described as a weapon's facilitator with direct ties to Taliban leaders in Kandhar province. He was detained last Saturday in southern Kandahar province, the current focus of NATO offensives. A NATO statement said the man was a key Taliban weapons facilitator involved in smuggling weapons from Iran to Afghanistan.
