KHOST, Dec 19: Two Taliban commanders were arrested along with two militants late Saturday in south-east Afghanistan by security forces who also seized a weapons cache, a local official told AFP on Sunday.

Mullah Noor Mohammed and Mullah Mullai Goloom had been in charge of planning attacks in the Paktia as well as the other south-eastern provinces. Security forces also seized seven missiles, remote-controlled bombs, explosive equipment, a satellite phone and some documents and maps during the raid.
