He did not. He was trained at an al Qaeda military facility as most, if not all Taliban soldiers were, but he could not be a member of the Taliban Army because Taliban Law will not allow a non Afghan to be a member.
Your first link verifies that he said ""I provided services as a soldier to the Taliban last year...."
He was trained as a soldier and served as a soldier with the al Qaeda assisting the Taliban Army in its fight against the "Northern Alliance".
Your second link verifies that he was fighting with non-Afghani fighters: He was shipped to the front with 150 other non-Afghani fighters in August of 2001. These foreign soldiers (members of al Qaeda) were assigned to assist the Taliban soldiers in their fight against the "Northern Alliance".
If you have a different point please explain.
