Noorzai was in Quetta when the September 11 attacks occurred , and soon afterwards returned to Afghanistan . In November 2001 , he met with men he described as American military officials at Spinboldak , near the Afghan-Pakistani border . Small teams of U.S. Special Forces and intelligence officers were in Afghanistan at the time , seeking the support of tribal leaders . According to his lawyer , Noorzai was taken to Kandahar , where he was detained and questioned for six days by the Americans about Taliban officials and operations . He agreed to work with them and was freed , and in late January 2002 he handed over 15 truckloads of weapons , including about 400 anti-aircraft missiles , that had been hidden by the Taliban in his tribe 's territory
