KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan-international security force detained several suspected insurgents in Kandahar province last night while pursuing a senior Taliban commander who operates from eastern Kandahar City.
The commander is responsible for improvised explosive device and indirect fire attacks and suicide bombings in and around Kandahar City.
The security force detained the suspected insurgents for further questioning after interviewing residents of a targeted compound near Khersak in Arghandab District. No shots were fired and women and children were protected by the combined security force.
Afghan and coalition forces have focused their efforts on removing key insurgent leaders operating in and around Kandahar. Since May 1, Afghan and coalition forces have captured and killed a number of Taliban leaders within Kandahar province.
