Afghanistan

Security forces killed two Taliban fighters while they planted IEDs in Helmand, and detained several fighters and commanders in Kandahar, Helmand, and Kabul. The Taliban killed two ISAF soldiers in the south and a civilian in Kunduz. Hizb-i-Islami said it would enter into a truce with NATO and the government if forces are confined to large bases.
