Gulab has been responsible for emplacing IED's in the Pachir Wa Agam district resulting in the injuries and deaths of innocent Afghan civilians and Afghan National Security Forces. He is also known to have extensive connections with other senior Taliban and Al Qaeda leadership in Nangarhar and Pakistan. 'The detention of Sayed Gulab will lead to information on Taliban and Al Qaeda leaders; including their operations within Nangarhar and neighboring provinces,' said Army Maj.
