Another Afghan-international security force captured a Taliban commander in Kandahar Province last night.   The combined force moved to a small compound northwest of Kandahar City, near the village of Bibi Hawa Kalacheh, after intelligence information confirmed insurgent activity. When confronted, the Taliban leader immediately surrendered and admitted he was the targeted insurgent.   The Taliban commander operated primarily in the southern Arghandab and Dand districts and was responsible for ambushing coalition forces with small arms, rockets and IEDs. He also supported larger operations with men and weapons.
