     U.S. Refuses to Comment on Report of Captured U.S. Commandos
                     Xinhua, 2001.09.30 01:06:35

WASHINGTON, September 29 (Xinhua) -- The U.S.  Defense Department
Saturday refused to comment on a press report that three U.S.  commandos
and two Afghans holding U.S.  citizenship had been arrested in western
Afghanistan. 

"We're not going to get into the habit of commenting on every story that
comes out of that region.  It's a slippery slope once we start getting
into that habit," a Pentagon spokesman said. 

The spokesman said there was no evidence lending credence to the report. 
The Pentagon is no longer investigating the facts, as it believes the
report is untrue, he added. 

According to a report from the Arabian language Al-Jazeera TV, which
originates in Qatar, three American commandos and two Afghans assisting
them were captured in Afghanistan on a Special Operation force mission. 

The report did not say whether the five had been caught by the Taliban
or by Saudi-born extremist Osama bin Laden 's organization, al Qaeda. 
Meanwhile, the Taliban Militia's official news agency on Saturday denied
the report. 

On Friday, a senior U.S.  White House official told the CNN that U.S. 
and British special forces have conducted operations in Afghanistan and
the Central Asian region. 

The military operations, described as routinely done to scout out the
situation when forces are deployed to a region, were conducted "in the
region" and "in country," meaning Afghanistan, said the official, who
asked not to be identified. 

The United States has named bin Laden as the prime suspect in the
September 11 hijacked airliner attacks on the World Trade Center in New
York and the Defense Department building in Washington that left more
than 6,000 people dead or missing.  The attacks have triggered the U.S. 
military's biggest mobilization since the 1991 Gulf War.  Enditem
