KANDAHAR: Afghan troops captured 10 suspected Taliban fighters in a raid on their hideout in southern Kandahar province following an attack against a local police chief that left two people dead, the governor's spokesman said on Friday. The raid occurred on Wednesday on a mountain road in Miyanashi, north of the city of Kandahar. Officials said the 10 militants were overwhelmed by about 80 Afghan soldiers and gave up without a fight. The raid followed an attack in the area on Miyanashi's police chief, Khadr Jan, whose convoy was ambushed as he travelled along the same road. A soldier guarding Jan was killed in the attack, as was one Taliban fighter.
