U.S. says it has no information to support claim
Taliban guerrillas said on Saturday they had killed a missing American commando they claimed to have captured in eastern Afghanistan last month, but the U.S. military said it had no information to support the claim.
Hakimi said the U.S. commando was killed at 11 a.m. (2 a.m. ET) on Saturday and his body dumped on a mountain in the eastern province of Kunar, where a four-man Navy SEAL team went missing during a clash with militants June 28.
�We killed him using a knife and chopped off his head,� he said by satellite telephone from an undisclosed location.
Hakimi�s information has often proven unreliable in the past, but he has appeared well informed about events surrounding the helicopter crash. |
