Afghanistan

The Taliban killed four policemen in a suicide attack in Herat, a police chief and four others in Kunduz, four Afghan security guards in Wardak, three ISAF soldiers in the south, and a civilian in Kandahar. Coalition and Afghan forces killed and captured several Taliban and Haqqani Network commanders and fighters in Logar, Khost, Paktia, Helmand, and Kandahar. More that 500 reconciled Taliban in Herat have rejoined the insurgency.
