Afghanistan

The Taliban killed nine members of a wedding party in Nangarhar and two ISAF soldiers in the south and the west. Eleven members of the Defense and Interior ministries were arrested in connection with a Taliban attack last month. Security forces killed and captured several Taliban commanders and fighters in Helmand, Kandahar, Khost, Logar, Wardak, and Kunduz.
