Afghanistan

Afghan and Coalition forces killed a Taliban facilitator and five fighters, and detained two more fighters during operations in Kandahar, Kunduz, and Logar provinces. The Taliban killed a road worker in an IED attack in Paktika province. The government plans to more than double the size of the security forces to 400,000 personnel by 2015.
