Pakistani police arrested 17 Afghans suspected of being Taliban militants, including a former Kabul police chief and a provincial governor, police said on Friday.
"Seventeen have been arrested, all Afghans," he said. "They have been staying without legal documents. Some of them held important positions in the previous regime in Afghanistan. One was a governor and another the police chief of Kabul," Yaqoob said, while declining to identify the men.
A senior police official said the suspects included Mullah Sher Dil, governor of the southern province of Helmand under the Taliban, and Mullah Ibrahim, a former police chief in the capital.
He identified two others as Mufti Rehmatullah and Mullah Abdur Razzak but said he did not know their ranks.
"We are interrogating them and hope to arrest more people," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
