Looks like these top Taliban aides are having a bad day. Two of them, Mullah Jahangir and Mullah Mohid, are aides to Taliban leader Mullah Omar. You'll notice that they are said to handle Mullah Omar's personal correspondence.

On top of these two, two field commanders also in custody.
BBC:
An Afghan intelligence source told the BBC four senior associates of Mullah Omar were being held after operations by Pakistani security forces.One really ought to be more careful with whom one corresponds.........The arrests took place in two areas of the city of Quetta in western Pakistan.
The source said those arrested included two men responsible for Mullah Omar's letters and communications....
Others now in detention are said to be Mullah Nazir, who was Taleban commander in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan, and Mullah Tahir, the former Taleban commander for the capital, Kabul.
