THERE'S ALWAYS A NEXT TIME (via jim hamlen):

Correction: Report of Hekmatyar's Capture Incorrect: Initial report of Hekmatyar's capture was a case of mistaken identity (Bill Roggio, 9/13/06, The Fourth Rail)

On 9-11, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported “the commander of the Hizb-i-Islami militia in Hafezan in the eastern province of Nangarhar, Gulbuddin Hikmatyar, was arrested after credible intelligence led Afghan and coalition forces to his compound.” An independent intelligence source confirmed the initial report, which led to my post on this matter, however a subsequent identification by fingerprinting indicates the person in question is not Hekmatyar. The capture suspect is a high level commander in Hezb-i-Islami, and is said to be a dead ringer for Hekmatyar.
