The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) carried out air raid against a Taliban commander and his men in Kapisa province north of Kabul Saturday, a press release of the multinational force said.
"ISAF conducted a precise strike on a compound in Kapisa Province targeting a senior Taliban commander and other Taliban leaders today," the press release said.
The compound, located in the Pasha Qari village of Tag Ab Valley, was the site of a large Taliban meeting and the commander was wanted for attacks in Kapisa, Parwan and Kabul Provinces, it further said.
However, it did not identify the commander and neither said if he was killed. But added he was a key improvised explosive device (IED) facilitator in the valley and is responsible for organizing attacks against ISAF, Coalition and government forces of Afghanistan.
Taliban militants have yet to make any comment.
