BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Coalition forces in Afghanistan have positively identified a Taliban commander, detained during a Jan. 1 joint operation in Zabul Province, as Shah Noor. Noor, who also is known as Agha Jan, is assessed to be a Taliban commander responsible for conducting attacks against Afghan National Security Forces and Coalition forces along Highway 1 as well as being the commander for a number of Taliban fighters. Noor is also responsible for planting improvised-explosive devices in several areas including the Shajoy district, where he was detained by Afghan National Security and Colaition forces. “The detention of Agha Jan [Noor] has severed an important link in the insurgent network,” said Army Capt. Vanessa Bowman, a Coalition spokeswoman. “With every insurgent leader, facilitator or fighter that is removed from the network, the future of a stable, thriving and peaceful Afghanistan becomes more attainable.” |
