KABUL - More than 10 suspected insurgents were detained Saturday in Kandahar during an Afghan-led operation in pursuit of a Taliban commander.
The commander, who profits from weapons trafficking, mediates allocation disputes, and is a middle-man between other senior-level leaders in the province.
Afghan and coalition forces went to a compound west of Seyyedan in Arghandab District to search for the commander. Afghan and coalition forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compound peacefully and then secured the areas. The security force detained the suspected insurgents after interviewing the residents.
The security force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children for the duration of the search.
