KABUL, Afghanistan (Aug. 16, 2011) – A combined Afghan and coalition security force killed a Taliban leader and detained one suspected insurgent during a security operation in Pul-e Khumri district, Baghlan province, yesterday.
Zalmi, the Taliban leader, directed a cell of fighters who conducted roadside bomb attacks against the local Afghan civilians and Afghan National Security Forces. 
The force, following several reports from local citizens, searched for the leader at a compound in the district. The security force located Zalmi at the compound. The force called for him to exit the building peacefully, however he ignored their request and ran towards them, demonstrating hostile intent. Assessing a threat, the force fired at the man, killing him.
According to residents on scene, Zalmi forced his way into the home earlier in the day and forced the local owner to provide him room and board.
Following the engagement, one of Zalmi’s associates was detained for further questioning.
