For Immediate Release\nDownload PDF\n KABUL, Afghanistan (Sept. 2) - An Afghan and coalition security force detained two insurgents in Logar province last night in their continued pursuit of a Taliban commander, who leads 40 fighters in attacks against Afghan officials and coalition forces operating in Logar.
The commander is linked to an improvised explosive device strike that killed four U.S. soldiers Monday.
\"We will continue to target those responsible for the IED attacks that are killing Afghan civilians and Afghan and coalition forces almost daily,\" U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, International Security Assistance Force said. \"Those attacking Afghan civilians, Afghan and coalition forces with these cowardly tactics will be brought to justice.\"

he security force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children for the duration of the search.",
