   In Kandahar last night, a joint security force went to a farming area in the Khakrez district after intelligence information indicated insurgent activity. As the security force approached the area they came under small-arms fire. They returned fire wounding an insurgent.
   During a search the security force captured a suspected Taliban commander responsible for leading approximately 20 armed fighters in attacks against coalition forces, and the movement of weapons and supplies. When confronted he surrendered and identified himself as the targeted militant. Several other insurgents were also detained.
   The combined force found automatic rifles and a shotgun.
