I could see him go unnoticed for a Pashtun tbh, not the most common look, but it does occur ocassionally in the region among Dardic Indo-Aryan people and Pamiris/Tajiks and others beside Pashtuns.

For e.g., this dude was a Kashmiri footballer, who turned to fighting for Lashkar-e-Taiba.

A German national has been arrested in Afghanistan’s insurgency-racked Helmand province, officials have said, a example of a European among the insurgents.

“A man with a long beard, wearing a black turban who identified himself as a German citizen and speaks German, was taken along with three other suspected on Monday night in Gereshk district of Helmand province,” Omar Zwak, the provincial governor’s spokesman, told AFP late last night.

A statement from the Afghan army corps in the province confirmed that the man had been detained with other suspects in a joint operation between Afghan Special Forces and the Afghan air force.

“The German national calls himself Abdul Wadood, and he was taken to Kandahar for further investigation,” the statement said.

Gereshk police chief Ismail Khplwak said the man was the “military adviser ”, commander of the elite “Red Unit” in Helmand.

If confirmed, it would be one of the few incidents in which German has been captured fighting among the insurgents.

Foreigners do fight alongside the insurgents but citizens of Western nations are rare and most hail from Pakistan, Central Asia or Arab nations.

Photographs taken by the Afghan military show a man who looks to be in his 40s with a long reddish-brown beard speckled with grey, and wearing a black turban.

He is flanked by two members of the Afghan Special Forces dressed in combat gear and with night vision goggles pulled up onto their helmets.

The man is dressed in traditional Afghan dress, a long shirt and wide trousers, worn under a khaki military jacket. “They were in a mine-making centre when they were detained. Weapons and ammunitions were also confiscated from them,” he said, adding that several were killed in the fighting.

Late last year, sources told AFP of the presence of French fighters for the Islamic State group in northern Afghanistan, as analysts suggested foreigners may be heading for the war-torn country after being driven from Syria and Iraq.

Helmand in Afghanistan’s south remains controlled or contested by the Taliban who are heavily reliant on the proceeds of drug trafficking to fuel their insurgency.

The Red Units serve as the insurgents’ special forces and have carried out many fatal attacks on the Afghan army and police.

Free Syrian Army captured a british in Deir al-Zour province a month ago, reported on Sunday.
