He is subordinate to the district Taliban shadow governor. He was involved with the kidnapping of two local Afghans in the area according to recent reporting.  Security forces followed leads to the target locations in Pusht-e Rod district, where Afghan and coalition forces conducted a search after securing the targeted locations. Several suspected insurgents were detained after initial questioning at the targeted locations. The security force discovered an AK-47, multiple grenades, a chest rack, ammunition and a Taliban night letter.  Night letters are a Taliban weapon used to intimidate local Afghans. The letters, bearing the Taliban letterhead, deliver threats of death and harassment to locals who either refuse to support terrorist efforts or maintain support of coalition efforts, or both.
