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".
I'm not sure there's a dime's worth of difference between "I was a Nazi soldier" and "I provided services as a soldier to the Nazis."

By aiding the Taliban fight their enemy to the North, he was freeing up Afghan Taliban soldiers, so in effect he provided a soldier to the Taliban even if he wasn't one himself.
