    KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan and coalition security force detained two suspected insurgents in Helmand province last night while pursuing a Taliban military commander in charge of fighters in parts of Marjah and Nad 'Ali Districts.

    The security force went to a compound in rural Nad 'Ali District to search the area. After securing the area, the security force interviewed residents of the targeted compounds and then detained the suspected insurgents.

    Last month Afghan and international forces killed Maulawi Mahmood, a recently appointed senior Taliban commander for Maiwand District in western Kandahar province.
