CIA intelligence confirming the current location of the infamous Taliban special forces group 'Red Unit' in the Naygul mountain range has located the Taliban military chief Mohammed Usef at its camp as they await a delivery of weapons from a unknown source.

Intelligence suggests the transfer will take place tonight. The CIA, having located the wife and two sons of Usef, plan to use their capture by US forces, and Usef's capture by UK Forces as leverage to force him to talk about suspected Taliban attacks.

The US/UK joint task-force has greenlit an operation to insert special forces units deep into taliban controlled territory, without authorisation of the local Afghan forces, in order to attempt the capture of Mohammed Usef - a CIA most-wanted terrorist.

There are no known identifiable pictures of Mohammed Usef, but he is known for wearing coloured traditional turban which is unusual among taliban fighters, usually in red/green and the fact that he usually carries a 6 shot revolver in addition to his AK-47. He is usually flanked by two guards wherever he goes.

The Afghan National Army and Police are present within 5kms, but we have not informed them of this operation due to suspected intel leaks. Therefore they may attack if provoked.
