The abject failure of America’s intelligence services to broker a deal that
could have led to the capture of the leader of the Taliban in Afghanistan
can be exposed for the first time today.

The US had persuaded a high-ranking Taliban officer to turn informer – a
move that could have led to the elimination of insurgent chief Mullah
Mohammed Omar.

However, infighting between the White House, FBI and US drug enforcement
agents meant that the potential ‘supergrass’ is instead facing life
imprisonment for heroin smuggling.
