General Daud Wafadar, commander of Afghan National Army forces in Ghazni, told REF/RL Radio Mashaal on April 25 that the militants were killed in a joint Afghan-NATO operation that began one day earlier.
Wafadar said the operation targeted the Qarabagh district of Ghazni, which is partly controlled by Afghan Taliban fighters.
Afghan troops are conducting the ground operations with air support from NATO.
Wafadar says a key militant leader, Qari Nusrat, also has been captured by Afghan government troops.
Authorities in Ghanzi recently warned of possible infiltrations by Arab, Pakistani, and Chechen militants.
