 US-led coalition troops raided a Taliban cell in remote eastern Afghanistan, killing four insurgents and arresting two, Afghan police said on Thursday. The troops stormed a house late on Wednesday in an area of mountainous Nuristan province that is near the border with Pakistan, provincial police said. They were acting on intelligence that a group of Taliban had gathered in the area to plan attacks on foreign and Afghan troops, police deputy criminal investigation director Abdul Ghani said. “Coalition forces attacked the house and killed four Taliban. Two other Taliban were arrested alive,” he said. The coalition said it had been acting with the Afghan intelligence directorate. |
