17 Insurgents Killed in Kapisa Operation

At least 17 insurgents were killed in joint Afghan and Nato forces' ongoing operation in eastern Kapisa province four days ago, local officials said.

The operation was launched on Thursday in Alasai district of Kapisa province to clear it of insurgents in which seven others were wounded, Mohammad Noman Hatifi, Media Officer of the 201 Selab military corps, said.

A local insurgent commander named Mohammad Asif Faizan is among those killed.

Neither Afghan and Nato forces, nor civilians suffered any casualties during the operation, he added.

Alasai is one of the insecure districts in Kapisa province in which insurgents have often carried out attacks targeting Afghan police checkpoints.
