Afghan police, backed by army and NATO-led coalition forces, during operations have killed 13 insurgents and detained 17 other suspects over the past 24 hours, Afghan Interior Ministry said on Saturday. "Over the past 24 hours, Afghan National Police (ANP), Afghan army and Coalition Forces launched five joint operations in surrounding areas of the Kabul, Helmand, Uruzgan and Herat provinces," the ministry said in a statement.
"As a result of these operations, 13 armed insurgents were killed, one wounded and 17 others were arrested by ANP," it said.
Afghan officials often use the word "insurgents" referring to Taliban.
The Taliban insurgents, who launched in May this year spring offensive against Afghan and NATO forces, have yet to make comments.
