    KABUL, Afghanistan – An Afghan-international security force captured a Taliban sub-commander and killed several insurgents in Logar this morning.

    The combined security force went to a compound in the village of Nagar, in the Pul-e Alam district, based on intelligence information of militant activity. As the assault force conducted a call out they were confronted by armed individuals. When the individuals displayed hostile intent they were shot and killed. The force also captured two militants.

    One of the militants captured is a Taliban sub-commander, involved in planning suicide attacks. He immediately surrendered and identified himself as the targeted insurgent.

    A search of the area found several weapons, including an automatic rifle and pistols.
