PUL-I-KHUMRI/ MAIMANA (PAN): Six militants, including a commander, were captured in the northern provinces of Baghlan and Faryab, an official said on Tuesday.
Four fighters were detained with weapons on Monday night during a raid on a house by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and quick reaction force in the Nahrain district of Baghlan, police officer Syed Zewaruddin told Pajhwok Afghan News.
Commander Sharif -- alias Afghani -- was arrested along with three associates, said a member of the provincial council from the district, Qudratullah, who accused Afghani of disruptive activities in the area.
Meanwhile, ISAF confirmed an Afghan and coalition security force arrested a Taliban facilitator in the province. “He was personally responsible for assisting in the transfer of IEDs and conducting IED attacks against Afghan and coalition forces,” a statement from the NATO-led force said.
Separately, two more insurgents were captured by police in the Qaisar district of Faryab province late on Monday. A motorcycle and two weapons were recovered from them, said police spokesman, Syed Massoud Yaqubi.
