NEWS RELEASE ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2009-12-CA-061 For Immediate Release  In another operation, an Afghan-international security force killed several enemy militants and wounded another in northern Paktika province while pursuing a Taliban commander.  The militant commander is responsible for weapons facilitation, kidnapping Afghan citizens and planning several suicide bomb and IED attacks in the area.
