KABUL — On Tuesday, coalition and Afghan special forces arrested a Taliban commander in the eastern province of Nangarhar, NATO said Friday.
The alliance said the man, whom it would not identify for security reasons, facilitated a recent influx of operatives for Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistani militia accused in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and suspected in more recent attacks in Afghanistan.
The coalition is touting a string of successes in capturing or killing dozens of key militant leaders since April; however, insurgent attacks have continued.
