Taliban Commander Arrested in Helmand Province
2011-03-02
[Tolo News] A Taliban local commander was nabbed on Monday night in an Afghan forces operation in southern Helmand Province, provincial officials said.

The commander named Mullah Ghafar was nabbed last night in Afghan forces' operation in Lashkargah in central Helmand province, governor's Media Office said in a statement on Tuesday.

The man carried out krazed killer attacks in the province, added the statement.

Taliban have not yet commented.

Militants have increased their activities in the province recently and have used Improvised Explosive Devices in their attacks.

Nearly 10,000 British soldiers are in Afghanistan and most of them are currently based in the central Helmand province.

Afghan and Nato forces have launched military operations in the country and 2011 is called an important year in the Afghan war.
