Torygraph: Iranian soldier captured in Afghanistan
A member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been captured supplying weapons to the Taliban in Afghanistan for attacks on British and American troops.
The capture of the officer confirms that Iran is directly supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The officer, from the elite al-Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, was captured by US special forces on December 18, a Nato spokesman said. Described as "a key Taliban weapons facilitator", he was arrested in Kandahar province.
"The joint security team specifically targeted the individual for facilitating the movement of weapons between Iran and Kandahar through Nimroz province," a Nato statement said.
It is the first reported instance of the capture of an al-Quds officer in Afghanistan. Several Iranian soldiers and operatives were caught in Iraq between 2006 and 2008.
The Iranian government is also reportedly releasing al-Qaeda terrorists from prisons to join the fight in Afghanistan and Pakistan. An intelligence official stated that three members of Osama bin Laden's family were also among those released.........

Suspected Afghan weapons smuggler "not Iranian guard"
Suspected Afghan weapons smuggler "not Iranian guard"
(Reuters) - A suspected weapons smuggler captured in southern Afghanistan is not a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard as first thought, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said Friday.
The coalition said initial intelligence reports suggested that the man was part of the al-Quds force, which specialises in foreign operations for Iran, but it was later determined he was not a member of the elite unit.
"It was determined that while the individual may be affiliated with several insurgent-related organizations, he is not a member of al-Quds," ISAF said in a statement.

How bizarre...
You capture someone who is "allegedly" from the al-quds brigades and then you back off saying and swearing that nononono he is not repeat not from the said brigades.....
I wonder who wants to keep a joker up his sleeve...
