ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — In an unusual instance of cross-border cooperation, Pakistani authorities arrested a ranking figure in Afghanistan’s Taliban movement after receiving a tip he had crossed over into Pakistan, officials have disclosed.
Few details were provided about the arrest of Ustad Yasar, a senior aide to Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. He had been freed by Afghan officials in 2007 in a much criticized prisoner exchange to secure the freedom of a kidnapped Italian journalist.
