KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan and coalition security force detained several suspected insurgents in Kandahar last night while in pursuit of a Taliban military commander who targets Afghan civilians working with coalition forces. He is also linked to suicide attacks against Afghan civilians throughout Kandahar province.
The security force surrounded the targeted compound south of Bala Dehe Sufla in Panjwa'i District. All the occupants complied with the instructions provided by the Afghan forces using a loudspeaker. The suspected insurgents were detained for further questioning after all the residents were interviewed.
No shots were fired and the women and children were protected throughout the search.
"Taliban strongholds in and around Kandahar continue to be a focus item for Afghan and coalition forces," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "We have captured key leaders involved in recent attacks in Kandahar province."
