KABUL, Afghanistan - An ISAF patrol discovered approximately 900 kilograms of marijuana in the Reg-e Khan Neshin District of Helmand province yesterday.
The patrol found 37 bags of the drugs in a truck and detained the driver.
A Taliban improvised explosive device commander and several other suspected insurgents were captured by an Afghan-international security force in Kandahar province last night.
The Taliban commander was responsible for bringing together IED experts to construct the devices, and was also a member of a Taliban assassination cell in Kandahar City. He and the other suspects were captured in a compound in a rural area of Arghandab District after intelligence information verified militant activity.
There were no shots fired and no one was harmed during the above operations.
