NATO led troops and Afghan forces detained a prominent Taliban commander, the alliance said Wednesday, while the Taliban confirmed the arrest of one of its spokesmen. The commander was the leader of the insurgents in Panjwayi district of neighboring Kandahar province, where last summer NATO troops waged their biggest ground offensive in the Western alliance's history, said NATO spokesman Squadron Leader Dave Marsh. "This seizure of a Taliban commander, once again shows that there is nowhere to hide for insurgent leaders," Marsh was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. Nato did not identify the captured Taliban commander.
