Taliban leader captured

January 17, 2007

NATO forces killed several local-level Taliban commanders in air strikes in the south last month. One of the group's top commanders, Akhtar Mohammad Osmani, was killed in a U.S. air strike in Helmand on December 19. The latest fighting in southern Afghanistan comes as the United States considers sending more troops to the Pakistan border region.
