text: July 7: Afghan, ISAF Operations in Balkh, Kandahar, Nangarhar
  ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-07-CA-035  For Immediate Release
  
   A separate Afghan-international security force detained several suspected insurgents outside Kandahar city last night while pursuing a Taliban commander who is a trafficker of weapons and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) throughout the province. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all the occupants to peacefully exit the buildings and then cleared the area. After securing the compounds, the security force detained the suspected insurgents for further questioning. This operation continues joint operations in Kandahar, including the capture last week of a Taliban commander who was an ambush, suicide bombing and assassination expert linked to a suicide bombing at Kandahar airport in late April, which injured more than 70 civilians.
