Haji Najibullah, a 49-year-old former Taliban commander, pleaded guilty to charges related to the kidnapping of an American journalist and the deaths of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, the U.S. Justice Department announced Friday. Najibullah admitted to taking hostage a U.S. journalist and two Afghan nationals in 2008 and 2009. The captives were forced to hike to Pakistan, where they were filmed making ransom demands and seeking the release of Taliban prisoners.

McKay, and Mark Palmateer—and their Afghan interpreter. Several other soldiers were injured.
