KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – American forces backed by warplanes sealed off two villages in southern Afghanistan and detained two terror suspects Sunday, while Afghan police and NATO-led troops in Kabul made one arrest and seized arms and terror-related material in another raid.
As many as 60 U.S. soldiers supported by warplanes sealed off a pair of villages Sunday in southern Helmand province and detained two men – Mulvi Abdul Ghafar and Gul Agha – suspected of ties to top Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah, local district leader Haji Amir said.
