ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2010-06-CA-004  For Immediate Release

KABUL, Afghanistan (June 2) - The newly appointed Taliban shadow governor of Baghlan Province was captured by an Afghan-international force as he prepared to leave for Pakistan Monday morning.   His predecessor was killed in a coalition airstrike the previous day, and this capture marks the third time in as many weeks that the Taliban have had to replace named shadow governors for Baghlan Province because of coalition operations.   An insurgent was killed and several other suspects were also detained by the assault force during the operation in Baghlan-e Jadid district after intelligence information revealed insurgent activity.   As the joint force prepared to transport troops from the completed operation, it was discovered that a helicopter's transmission and engines were irreparably damaged and it could not return to its base. Troops left using another helicopter after maintenance experts inspected the aircraft and decided to destroy it on site. The helicopter did not receive any enemy fire.
