Afghanistan

Coalition and Afghan forces killed “several” Taliban fighters and detained a Taliban commander, a facilitator, and an undisclosed number of fighters in Kandahar, Logar, Nangarhar, and Helmand. Police captured eight police officers who defected to the Taliban and six Taliban fighters in Wardak. The Taliban killed six policemen, two ISAF troops, and a woman in attacks in the South and East.
