KABUL, Afghanistan (August 8) - An Afghan and coalition security force detained two suspected Taliban insurgents in Logar province last night, including a Taliban senior commander who planned and conducted attacks against Afghan government officials and Afghan and coalition forces.   The security force targeted a compound in the village of Mirwal in Pul-e 'Alam district to search for the commander. Afghan forces called for all residents to exit the compound peacefully and then secured the area. The assault force then detained the commander and one additional suspected insurgent for further questioning.   "Afghan and coalition forces have turned up the heat on insurgents operating in eastern Afghanistan," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Operations Center director. "We will not let these terrorists stand in the way of establishing a stable and secure Afghanistan, where the populace-elected Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan leads the people." The security fore did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the searches.
