KABUL, Afghanistan (Apr. 28)
In Musa Qal’ah district, Helmand province, an Afghan and coalition security force captured a Taliban leader during an operation today. The leader coordinated insurgent attacks against Afghan and coalition security forces throughout Musa Qal’ah, Nahr-e Saraj, and Sangin districts. He was responsible for an attack on an Afghan National Army outpost in central Helmand earlier this month that killed six Afghan soldiers. The security force fired no shots and damaged no civilian property.
