I assume that you may be trying to make the point (maybe an incorrect assumption) that he served in the Taliban Army.

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.
Whoops. I edited the wrong post.
