  ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-06-CA-071  For Immediate Release A separate Afghan-international security force captured a Taliban commander and several suspected insurgents in Zabul Province last night. The commander is linked to IED attacks along the road connecting Zabul to Kabul.  The security force searched a series of compounds in a remote area of Shah Joy district after receiving intelligence reports on the Taliban commander's whereabouts. "The heavily travelled ring road is used not only by Afghan and coalition forces but civilians as well. Emplacing IEDs on this road demonstrates the Taliban's complete disregard for human life. Detaining the commanders and facilitators responsible for these tactics helps temper this threat," said Navy Capt. Jane Campbell, ISAF Joint Command spokesperson.  No shots were fired during the search and women and children present were protected by the combined force.
