Qatar TV says Afghans take 3 U.S. special forces
DUBAI, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Qatar's al-Jazeera television says Afghan security forces have arrested five people, including three Americans, near the border with Iran with maps of sites of Osama bin Laden's group.
It said a military source from bin Laden's al Qaeda group telephoned its correspondent in Islamabad and said the three Americans were from the U.S. Special Forces and had modern weapons and some maps of al Qaeda sites.
"The five were arrested, three Americans and two Afghans, who were trained in the U.S. Special Forces and have U.S. citizenship. The three Americans are also from the U.S. Special Forces," the correspondent on Saturday quoted the source, who he said usually called journalists, as saying.
"They had some modern weapons and some maps of al Qaeda sites," the source was quoted as saying. "They were on a reconnaissance mission to know the territory of al Qaeda".
He said pictures of the men would be released soon.
