Afghan troops along with the U.S.-led Coalition forces detained three suspected Taliban insurgents during an operation in eastern Afghan province of Nangarha, a Coalition statement said Wednesday.
The combined forces searched compounds in Chaparhar district targeting Taliban facilitators believed to be operating on Tuesday, and detained the three individuals suspected of having links to Taliban networks, the statement said.
"Taliban extremist networks face mounting pressure due to the successful operations conducted by Afghan and Coalition forces," said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, a Coalition spokesman.
Over 6,000 people have lost their lives in conflicts and Taliban-related insurgency since the beginning of 2007 in the war-torn country.
